Tales of Mafia XXXI - Super Fun Game Thread

Right now Raven is by far most suspicious to me. Not only have they not really said anything substantial all game, their conclusions are so out there that I can scarcely believe they get to them at all, let alone first. Velvet is on my radar as well for saying a lot without really saying anything. Just some comments on getting this or that vibe from people without any real detail as to why and recapping general events with zero context and no real analysis on their part. Not enough to convince me at this early stage but I'm keeping my eye on them.

And sorry again about being so busy killing monsters for some extra gold everyone. I may not be able to be as active as some others, but a persons gotta eat if they're going to hunt for mafia. And I do like hunting for mafia.

Before you criticize someone, make sure you aren't doing the very things you're criticizing them for.

You criticize Raven for not saying anything substantial, but your Day 1 "performance" was nonexistent. You criticize me for "not analyzing" but you haven't analyzed anything all game. You criticize me for "recapping general events" when you haven't done anything near as productive or pro-town all game.

Not only is what you're saying not true (coming up with townreads of players based off of the summary I created IS analysis), but you're also a complete hypocrite.

Even reading the whole thread it's very easy to see how your posts are a bit random. I don't think it's scummy to find you suspicious. To be quiet honest, if someone didn't find your behavior strange, i'd be a little worried.

I do agree that Colette has been laying low a bit without saying much at all. So it is strange she just popped in with a vote and popped out. Mikleo also popped in to activate their skit but that was it. No reaction to their skit.

The only thing that immediately struck me as odd is Raven's conclusion to the events that transpired last night.

I currently believe that Velvet might be mafia. Having fought in mafia campaigns many times, sometimes as a mafia myself, I recognise a strategy often deployed by mafia members to allay suspicion: the itemised list. This might seem a flimsy reason for suspicion, but it is based on experience. The itemised list which appears to weigh the different participants objectively, whilst in fact leading the reader to suspect particular individuals, is a perfect tool for a mafia member to spread suspicion against multiple characters without being seen to directly target them.

Of course, I would be quite happy to be mistaken. For now, it is merely a hunch. Nothing can be certain at this early stage of the campaign.

Creating a summary of events, which benefits all players, as well as forming my own independent reads from said list, is scummy.

Okay then.
