They Might Be Giants Mafia |OT| Everybody Dies Frustrated And Sad, And That Is Beautiful
- Thread starter Apopheniac
- Start date
Have you seen any instances of this so far? On the other hand, why is this bad - why shouldn't we be trying to convince others to join our cause? A scattered town is capable of very little.
Wouldn't being subtle about getting someone killed in day 1 be the move of a mafia who doesn't want people to look at him with suspicion if the lynched player ends up being town?
Maybe if town is leaning towards lynching a fellow mafia they may seek to nudge people towards someone else? Beyond that...no clue.
This seems like a really dumb question?
I mean if scum sees an opportunity to set up a lynch D1, they absolutely will obviously.
More of a scum play than a town one. Yet I feel that this is too much of a specific case, even perhaps unfounded in reality. Thus the desire for an example. How can one even be concerned about subtle manipulation? If you can tell you are being manipulated, it is not subtle at all, is it? How can I be wary of something that I cannot even detect? And the manipulation I do detect, how can I separate the good from the bad, the town from the scum. And then there is the thought that lil manipulation achieves lil or at least has a low outcome minimum.
What if there is no need to set up anything? Let the fools kill each other. Mingle, camouflage, assimilate, become one of them. Let the townies do all the work and just hop aboard.
Not necessarily, because we then would have a list of voters to look through and narrow it down on. For Town it'd be great, but for the Mafia...not smart.

What are your thoughts right now? Who are you leaning towards at this moment?

Nope, I just think it's stupid to discount it with "That would be dumb of Mafia"
That line of thinking never goes down well.
I'm against voting for any of the newcomers Day 1 purely because I prefer to give them a grace period (even though it's statistically likely at least one scum is within that group).
As for who I'd vote for instead... I'm not sure at this point. I don't like how inactive Absolutbro has been so far, but it's not a justifiable enough reason to vote for him.
By the way, be wary of scum bussing a scum lynch candidate, especially this early on. I heard that's a common tactic for them. Voting history is important, but it shouldn't ever be the deciding factor of deducing someone's alignment.

I mean if it wasn't day one I think I'd be with you. But it's Day 1 and everyone has their eyes open to everything because nothing else is going on.
Very common. Just cause someone votes for someone else who is scum doesn't mean for sure that they aren't scum.
This is also very true (looks back to my Mafia game with Nin, I will never be sorry).
I don't think convincing someone to join your cause is bad, but I dunno, the reason I voted for rac is because I felt like he used Fireblends suspicion of Extreme Tactician and Stuart to try to direct people towards ET.
It's just a hunch though. I'm probably looking to far into it. I have no idea what I'm doing still
Hello to you too.
Been a long day lining up for Hamilton tickets, just got back home and finally caught up.
To be honest I'm still trying to get my bearings on this game, I don't think I've seen enough of some posters to make a determination either way.

Okay I'm way behind and skimming but wanted to apologize for being absent. The basement flooding was worse than originally though and I spent the last two days drying carpets, hauling out dry wall and insulation (and to the dump), and then removing the carpets which could not even remotely be salvaged. Lemme go back and read.

I'm curious what you were thinking about with the first half of your post, since you basically asked a question no one could realistically answer.
NAI, and this is just the first reply to save everyone space, but the series of posts after Worthy's question are fluff to me. They don't say anything and it's concerning that no one pointed it out.
You seem busily active Stu, would that be the right descriptor?
I gotta read through the thread brah. But why won't you dance with me man, is it because I'm ugly? You think I'm ugly don't you!? Bullshit you bitch don't fucking lie to me. What the fuck's this guy's problem on the side of me? Fuck you asshole, yeah bite me. Spark, Spark! Why don't you like me?
It was really a personal question regarding how others see the Mafia moving about Day 1 throughout their experience playing. I personally, throughout my games, have seen Mafia mostly be very confrontational, so I wanted to gauge how others felt about that situation.
Okay, so what information were you hoping to get out of their answers though?
Would you agree with mine then?
Am I active? Yes. Am I busy? About as much as I can be day 1 I guess.
So... sure I guess?
I completly forgot that Zipped was playing. Only 1 related to the game. Barely nothing.
