Mafia 52 Game Thread (GAME OVER)

Norwee · 2022-08-29 15:50:57

Setup information

- 13 player slots
- There will be only 2 factions, the town and the mafia
- Mafia has daytalk.
- Closed setup, meaning most of the roles possible to find in the setup is a strict secret. However this will be an balanced setup with not too many power roles! (Hint: More than 2, less than 13)
- The mafia is confirmed to have an Traitor. The traitor is an member of the mafia that knows their teammates but can not communicate with their faction through other channels. And can not perform the factional kill unless they are the sole member remaining. The other mafia is not informed of this players identity in their role.
- Multi-tasking is in effect for any roles with multiple powers.
- Sample VT role pm:

For the record, there's a popular actress who loves to play Mafia, Jodie Foster. Though it's just video mafia, but she plays in character so that's cool.
“I have an Italian guy [that I do] who is really resentful of the fact that everybody thinks he’s Mafia and he thinks it’s profiling. It’s a good acting game. Actors are good liars, aren’t they?”

D
Does she play with Anthony Hopkins?

Let's take a look at statistics, shall we?
To get the most relevant stats, I'll take a look at the last 5 games. In those games, In games 51, 50, and 48, all three games, when roles were being given out, I was given the Game Host role.
This means that I am statistically the most likely to be the Game Host in this game. I can neither confirm nor deny this, but going forward this will be automatically assumed in argument.

No, it doesn't, it just means that if you look at those last 5 games and you don't know what your role is, you are 60% likely to be correct if you randomly guess that your role was Game Host, whatever randomly guessing means.

It has absolutely no bearing on your role in future games.

i honestly can’t tell if this is a joke post or not

I guess you'll find out in that case

Btw could any admin remove my spammer role or whatever? I'm post limited, need to wait for 300 seconds between posts...

The real story is actually even more complicated, because the probability you calculate is non-unique as it depends on the assumptions you make (probability is subjective). If you make the assumption that you are always right, for example (an absurd example, of course), then the probability is 100%.

ElijahBaley · 2022-08-31 00:15:51

Sorry, I always nerd out when it comes to probability

How do you do, fellow kids?
I just wanted to notify everyone that I am an anti-town role. I am still aligned with the town, but I negatively impact it. So, if we can’t find a good mafia candidate to vote today, feel free to vote me. Addition by subtraction or whatever.
Also, I refuse to claim any further than that since I know that any further information will only help the mafia. If you want to know my role, either vote me off today or let the mafia kill me.
Oh and I only like pineapple on pizza if it has ham as well. I want the sweet and salty combo, not just the sweet.

spicy

Nah, I don't think we should vote you just for being an anti-town role. My objective is to lynch scum, not town.

By the way, would it be a stretch to imagine you and BB to be wolves and Elijah making himself known as the lost wolf by these random votes on you both? I mean, he sort of provoked the BB post to happen - the one that he quoted and voted right after.
Also, as an icing on the event cake, Elijah called "confirmed gangster" hmm..
i don’t think it’s too much of a stretch, “confirmed gangster” is kinda sus since that came out of nowhere, but it can simply be a joke post so idk lol
has a little shade of coasting in it: she approved the idea but, presumably, didn't vote before someone else votes there first.
thats fair enough, i initially didnt vote despite agreeing because i wanted to wait for an explanation from elijah
later you said that they knew each other for a very long time, so i didnt read much into it, hence not voting
in hindsight i should've voted and explain my thoughts more clearly

That is my explanation: I was trolling

While I voted him as well for his heathenry, I stand in disbelief when I see your post. This is page 1 of a game where pretty much everyone has many people they do not know around. NOBODY has said anything remotely related to the game lol, and that is perfectly normal. I can appreciate the attempt to create an event, but it's weak to the point of being nothing. Also, here you go, I have created an event by replying to you seriously

Townie post but that doesn't really mean anything IMO. Easy to make townie posts, especially early game. Will be you waiting for hear more from you.

ElijahBaley · 2022-08-31 12:27:44

What is there to be paranoid over in the Traitor role? It's just a scum like any other

ElijahBaley · 2022-08-31 12:30:49

I'm also not convinced the Traitor would try to hint to his mafia buddies. I just tried to picture myself name-dropping all my mafia buddies in some post to hint that I'm the traitor, and I'm like, dude what if I get lynched, or what if people notice that and go - this dude is probably traitor and told us who the Mafia were? It's not worth it.

I'm a little surprised hearing this self proclamation of being a responsible player to be honest.
You're someone who constantly fake claimed when we played in the past because it's funny. Well, maybe you didn't do it because it's funny, idk, but I'd hope we're at least a little similar in that sense - I can't imagine myself letting the chance to do something so funny pass me if I had it

I just don't see the benefit. You avoid some night kill that doesn't actually matter (Traitor wins with Mafia even if dead), but you risk the even worse thing wherein if you die, the entire Mafia dies.

ElijahBaley · 2022-08-31 13:03:43

Actually - more pressingly, it's not really about the risk - if I do some dumb gambit as Town and get lynched, I just blame the other people in Town. They could've read me correctly, but didn't. Their fault.
If I'm Mafia and literally call out my teammates in chat, I cannot blame anyone but myself.

Fair, but who are your teammates?

I don't have any teammates, except for Town teammates, and these I do not know who they are

i assume your vote wasnt a joke so, is there a reason for not unvoting even after marshmallow's post

It was a joke just haven't gotten around to voting someone else yet

ElijahBaley · 2022-09-01 15:18:45

1) I thought my vote was still on MM when you asked
2) The vote on MM was the joke not buzzerbee

ElijahBaley · 2022-09-01 23:23:40

yes and not actively scum hunting it as you put it definitely makes one scum

ElijahBaley · 2022-09-01 23:25:40

also, it isn't true that I wasn't scum hunting, I was. you can look at the posts I made regarding MM and see I had the intent to scum hunt.

by the way, this could be wrong or whatever but AllenCaspe's read list triggers my inner gut read

!vote AllenCaspe9510

Ok I'm gonna explain myself
Firstly, it's my first time playing and never really saw anything related to past games, so I don't understand at all the slang, roles and so on. So, probably my assumptions will end up being poorly
That being said, what's the matter with unvoting and 'wait till night'?: I didn't want to vote because these two reasons: Trying to prevent my role being mistaken, and avoid a contraproductive vote. However, it's true that Gandhi wrote a well explained post about voting is beneficial in day 1, and now I understand even a new player should apply that. Now that I see it again, I think I should vote.
My vote and pqwerty woots: I believe in pqwerty anti-town role but not about him being aligned with town. I believe he tried to paint MM as a contradictory to feed its supposed role, because really (I) don't see how you can misunderstand that, then tried to rectify because it did not work as intended? That's why i wooted.
My second guess is Eliah since he has been voting with little info and said not voting pqwerty just because is not scum which I think is not true
Soo !Vote Pqwerty
Another thing, I don't know how does roles are distributed by the host, guessing that is randomized? However, wouldn't it be weird to give a newbie a mafia role, it could screw up easy

we can assume they're randomly distributed, it's better that way, IMO.
whilst what you say CAN be true (I've hosted before and I generally try to avoid putting newbies in unpleasant situations), it kind of detracts from the game if we read into that kinda stuff

ElijahBaley · 2022-09-01 23:37:07

Grilyon also pings my scumdar for calling me out for 'voting with little info'
