Re: Halloween Mafia 2021 - The Party Trap
So wait, does the cult do something different from the mafia? I'm a bit confused here.
If I disappear from the forum, I can still be reached via the "contact us" link at the bottom of the page.
Re: Halloween Mafia 2021 - The Party Trap
The cult starts at one member but recruits at night instead of eliminating someone. If the original member dies the cult usually loses the ability to recruit, although that can vary. If you are recruited your win condition changes to align with the cult, so a D1 townie might be a D2 cultist.The Snide Sniper wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 11:33 pm So does the cult do something different from the mafia?

heuristically_alone is scum, although I do thank you for answering for me, the more reactions we get going the better.
wam is a teesy bit scummy but with the wam discount is still probably town. Wait, wam voted for the mod. Hmm, no read on him yet then. For a wacky game that actually might be a relevant action...

Has Boomfrog ever done a gambit as mafia? I've only ever seen them do it as town. Why is it that my joke vote almost always becomes my end day d1 vote?

@bessie Can you answer the question to my previous post for me please? You'd be the most likely to know.

I’m here. Like usual, I don’t play during work hours (California).
@jimbobmacdoodle and @heuristically_alone, please get avatars.
@The Snide Sniper, welcome to the mafia group!
@patzer, I remember you playing mafia but not of playing with you. Very happy to have you sign up!

You’re welcome to post in the Facebook group any time you want, and keep it from becoming a bessie and Madge vanity page. As if.jimbobmacdoodle wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 3:25 pm Anyway, enough of this messing about:
Vote bessie
As apparently she's the only one who got to comment in the Facebook group, who isn't actually running a party. Obviously suspicious.
Madge already has the second biggest ego in this group, why do you feel the need to feed it? And why haven’t you sad anything about me me me?
Please explain your reasoning because I do not agree.heuristically_alone wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 6:23 pmThis question is coming from a town mindset..jimbobmacdoodle wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 3:25 pmJust trying to wrap my head around this: does this imply that if the game would otherwise end with e.g. a Town victory, the Survivor wins instead? I.e. we ignore the role for game end trigger, but it impacts who wins/loses?If they survive to the end, everyone else loses.
If so, I could see an amusing situation where we have confirmed scum, but need to hold off voting them off due to the Survivor still being around!
This alone deserves a vote, but I still don’t do RVS.

Notice I haven't made a read on Jimbob. But it does have a lot of we we we in it, referring to town. At the very least Jimbob is attempting to appear as having a town mindset as this is what the town mindset should be, is it not?

"attempting to appear as having a town mindset" it just about the scummiest anyone could possibly be though, so I'm not sure how you wound up assigning town-points for that. More importantly though, if you don't have a read on Jimbob, why did you answer that question with a reason for townreading him?heuristically_alone wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 12:48 am Notice I haven't made a read on Jimbob.

Re: Halloween Mafia 2021 - The Party Trap
I seem to remember Boomfrog has pulled a gambit as mafia, let me close my helicopter record and check my mafia notes...heuristically_alone wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 11:57 pm Has Boomfrog ever done a gambit as mafia? I've only ever seen them do it as town. Why is it that my joke vote almost always becomes my end day d1 vote?
I checked my game spreadsheets, and BoomFrog was mafia in Unlikely Superheroes and was eliminated on D2. I can’t remember if it was part of a gambit, but I have in my spreadsheet that he opened with a self vote. Unfortunately, I have very little archived of this game and almost nothing of the early game (pages 1, 6, 11, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21).
I also remember that Boomfrog often decides on a gambit before the game starts. I’m pretty sure he said this about Newbie New Year, but it would be in the Gojoe thread so finding it would be difficult.
Now that I have answered your question, how does this affect your impression of Boomfrog in this game thus far?
Jimbob says “we” two times in that entire post. And why do you not think this could be a mafia mindset, since the “they” is a third party role?heuristically_alone wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 12:48 amNotice I haven't made a read on Jimbob.

And...why would a player need to attempt to appear townie? I find your mindset interesting.
I remembered correctly; we didn’t play any games together. I think I may have been your replacement in Secret Santa.patzer wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 1:26 am Here's a list of the games I've played. https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Patzer

Re: Halloween Mafia 2021 - The Party Trap
I'm currently undecided of Boomfrog is scum taking advantage of my slightly scummy appearance right now, or if this is Boomfrog who thinks they laid a trap and actually caught a scum. Thinking more about it, the latter seems more likely.
Somi, what is your opinion of me right now?

@heuristically_alone, do you remember which games you played in in the old forum? In particular, did you play in any of the past Halloween games?
@bessie, I'll sort out my avatar when I'm next posting from my personal laptop. Hopefully this evening.
I like somitomi's way of thinking. Town lean there. LaserGuy is acting very similarly to usual LaserGuy, from what I remember, although I don't know if he acted like this both as town and scum, or just town. Still, town lean there too.
Snide Sniper is obviously scum.

+1 townie point to boom for noticing my vote was on the mod. -1 for everyone else.
I would love to be a militant atheist trying to get sabrar the mod eliminated but sadly I'm not.
I'm one for madge instead
vote madge
unvote
Actual thoughts:
I think boomfrog pulling/not pulling a gambit is NAI.
Laser seems like usual day 1 laser, if jumping to reads faster than I remember but given how much some of the players have played together I think that's NAI.
Huery is interesting more involved that I normally remember but I think that's a town indication for them on meta.

I actually read snide sniper as town based on his response to Boomfrog.

Don't worry. I'm sure I'll devolve back to my normal self as the game goes on.
I would think the answer to your question would be quite apparent.

I actually feel like his reads so far are a bit superficial, but it's kinda early
