Anniversary Mafia Game Thread - The Final Day

Er I may have screwed up on my thing. Don't take it as gospel. :/

Found my mistake. Faris voted for me between Leila voting Blank and Leon voting Rydia. I didn't mean to mislead.

Refia should be in the lead at 3, Faris, Galuf, and I tied at 2nd with 2, and I just hate counting. This is why I never became a clerk.

I unvoted you, so I think I have 2 votes on me also with self vote because I can't decide.

You are sitting pretty with only your self-vote on yourself.

My bad.

Also, I'm an idiot. Thank you.

I find it amusing that you all assume that the mafia will do one thing or another. This is the mafia we're taking about, they do what they want, when they want. Saying "the mafia will kill _____" just leads me to be more inclined to believe you know what they'll do.

How do you all know what they'll be doing?

Experience. Every time someone with a doctor or investigative role claimed it in the game thread, they basically committed suicide. If he wasn't part of the mafia of course. I've seen it at least 4 times over the dozen or so mafia game I've played. But we'll see, because with all the claiming left and right, it can go a lot of ways.

Basically this.

Another of my bads: Rydia has a vote on her by Leon. Sorry, after I do this tally with the strikeouts, I'm not doing one again.

Well when people are role claiming out roles that would harm the mafia, it doesn't take a genius to figure out who they will be gunning down at night.

[[M] Kurt - Cool Dad]

Experience or not, this is "mindsmurf mafia". The roles "claimed" so far was some investigation role, a tracker role and well someone said galuf role claimed too I missed that one though. Claiming to know they will kill those roles just leads one to believe they know more than they are letting on. In a game that is touted as having a lot roles, the mafia most likely can fire into the crowd and kill a power role. Why kill someone when they can just make them dig their own grave/make them look bad? You're acting as if the mafia are playing the game as basic as they can. That or you know more.

Ergo, it's amusing to me.

If you know who they'll be gunning down each night then doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the game? I didn't know it was that easy to prevent deaths/pinpoint them.

Well unless mafia are complete idiots as you seem to be supposing, it would make sense for them to go after investigative power roles right? After all those are the most likely to just find the mafia and be able to call them out instantly right? Why waste bullets shooting an unknown when you can take out a known investigative role.

[[M] Kurt - Cool Dad]

No no, you see I am supposing the opposite. I'm saying they aren't complete idiots. That assuming they have just black and white tactics such as "OH ROLE CLAIM! Let's kill that guy!" is well amusing to me. Either people are assuming how they'll act OR they KNOW how they'll act.

Saying "the mafia will do this" just leads me along the thinking of "why do you know they will do this? what do you know that we don't?"

[[M] Helo]

Hey Balthier who did you vote for? You pop in and out so I hope you will have a vote before you go disappear again.

[[M] Trevor - Gay Dad]

And I think that's a little silly. When someone calls out that they can find out someones role and expose it, and someone else can track them in the night, it's again, silly to think they WON'T go after such dangerous targets. Who makes a better target? The guy who COULD be potentially dangerous to you? Or the guys who already said they are.
