Mafia - main thread

[Tom Halsey]

I didn't really twig GIMH as a Napoleon candidate until the day we lynched UC. I actually thought it might be Milenko after his rightful Majesty comment right at the start.

I was also shocked I wasn't lynched as soon as I claimed Honoré Gabriel Riqueti. Dude was dead 2 years before the date of the game.

 

[Spark]

I don't know why everyone got so excited by that "your Majesty" comment by Milenko, to me it seemed pretty obviously just a somewhat lame joke and nothing more. Then again I'm probably not the most neutral arbiter on that question.

 

[andmark]

Are we allowed to know what Googlyeyes's controversial post was?

 

[Spark]

Just had an extra line hinting at his role, which obviously you can't do when you're dead in a no role reveal game. He probably thought he was being okay by keeping it vague, but it was still extra (and somewhat valuable) info in the circumstances. Cabinet was definitely right to edit it out.

I was also shocked I wasn't lynched as soon as I claimed Honoré Gabriel Riqueti. Dude was dead 2 years before the date of the game.

My first run of assigning characters actually included the Comte de Mirabeau (as he's usually known) because he really was the leading light of the Revolution through 1789-1790, but I excluded him for exactly this reason. Pretty incredible that the people who googled him picked up that he had turned against the Jacobins by the end of his life and was in the employ of the King, but missed that he was, well, dead.

Knew zorax was 3P.

Bonne nut.

In accordance with my role, I henceforth order you all to refer to me as 'His Rightful Majesty'.

Terrible joke by me.

it was probably more the timing. day 1 is always weird af and literally any post can get snitched at for conversation fodder, meanwhile there's some pressure to say something so you don't get modkilled and/or suspected of being mafia for trying to go under the radar.

i'll remember UC has a diffferent philosophy to me on town going to no lynch though. personally i find it extremely vexing when town is going somewhere for a lunch but lack of thread activity fails to give us any clarity either way.

Thanks spark for running this.

fwiw, I still think Daemon is scum and we should lynch him.

I couldn't tell you the years of the French Revolution if you put a gun to my head right now

Heck I couldn't even tell you who my character was

 

[nightprowler10]

It was in the OP what year the game took place.

 

[googlyeyes]

**** you Ho(w)e

And **** you all

 

[Spark]

Yeah I was obviously being loose with historical accuracy for this setup, but I said "early 1793" for a reason.

 

[nightprowler10]

As scum, one thing that would've brought a bit more balance IMO is getting one unblockable kill for maf.

 

[Uppercut]

It was balanced enough imo. Maf should always be a little underpowered so they need to string out convincing lies to win. It’s no fun if they can win by staying quiet.

Yep. And no role reveal really should have made that even easier.

 

[GIMH]

Good game Spark. Thanks for running.

Any idea for what we do next? Really enjoying this latest mafia run tbh even though I've not won yet

 

[Magrat Garlick]

I liked the mythology game we had a while back. Would be willing to run one with various deities (some greek, some norse/(c) marvel, some roman, some hindu etc)

 

[nightprowler10]

Go for it.

I was toying around with a theme but by the time I was close to done putting it together I needed 28 people to play it.

 

[Spark]

Could have given me less power. Feel like with a win condition like we have, it would have been nice to have some way to identify/communicate with other 3Ps

I suppose the 3 of us should have found some way to drop subtle hints to each other

I could have, but I really did deliberately design that role just for this game. It really felt that 3rd party needed a role like that. The idea was that on paper town looked incredibly powerful (as it proved in the game - once the key town roles got coordinated then town was just totally unstoppable), but unless town was doing terribly then 3rd party would be constantly trying to mess things up silently for them. Which is probably why Mortician and Roleblocker should have been swapped.

 

[Cabinet96]

Sorry for the lynch Uppers. I hated the idea of being played for a fool by you more than the idea of wrongly lynching you.
