Mafia Game Threads / Re: M139 - Godfather Mafia - DAY 1

I won’t be on at deadline, because it’s already 10 pm here.

Didds you’re my top town read, if you tell me to move I will.

The pressure!!  I don't think it is gk, but I have no idea what the best shift is.  Gk has the advantage of not being around, so we wouldn't be missing much, but if we are trying for scum I just don't think we find it there.  But probably he is also not our JK, because again, that would probably lead to more vigorous play.

Ooooofff.... I just feel like scum gk would have realized he was a lone wolf at this part, and would at least try not to get exiled.  I just don't think he's scummy.

So, if I have to move my vote to consolidate my vote it would be to mathdude, but I don't feel super enthusiastic about that, especially since Joseph and EFHW are on that wagon.  I feel the most towny about Awaclus.

MiX, what are you thinking?

I am about to be a busy Didds...meeting, student office office hours, class, drive home.  I might be able to grab a few moments here and there, and I should be able check back in like an hour before the deadline.  I am setting a reminder, but I will be scarce until then.

We should definitely exile today.

I still think EFHW is scum (either traitor that is doing absolutely nothing, or strongman that is laying low and voting someone at random, kinda like what I'm doing, I think that's a reasonable thing to do in this setup as scum) but I'm fine with mathdude being the exile today, or gkrieg if he doesn't post himself out of it today.

Are you saying you are scum? By this logic, I should vote for you. My vote on scola is not random, btw, it's just that no one agrees with me (yet).

Is there an argument forthcoming? Or what is the plan for people coming around to agree with you?

Hmmmm.... the gkrieg wagon is super interesting, especially since he has done nothing at all.

I vote for him ages ago in the hopes of getting some response, but this logic seems like some manufactured scum team naming since it ignores the timing of any of the votes.

Vote Count 1.4

gkrieg (5): WestCoastDidds, LaLight, mathdude, scolapasta, MiX (L-1)
Mathdude (3): Awaclus, Joseph, Joth
scolapasta (1): EFHW

Not Voting (1): gkrieg
So by my previous logic that SM is on this lazy gkrieg wagon, I think SM is in {WCD, LL, math, scola}

vote: Joseph

I kind of want to run a ChatGPT mafia where I make it write all the flavor text. This is what it came up with when I asked it for an introduction. It's bland, but not bad:

Quote
Certainly! Here's a paragraph of introductory flavor text for a game of Mafia:

It's a dark and stormy night in the small town of Salem. The villagers have gathered at the town hall for a meeting to discuss the recent string of mysterious deaths that have been occurring in their community. The rumors of a dangerous mafia presence have been circulating, and tensions are running high. As the meeting begins, the villagers are on edge, each one wondering if they can trust the person sitting next to them. The fate of the town rests on their ability to identify and eliminate the mafia members before it's too late. Who can be trusted, and who is hiding a dark secret? It's up to the villagers to find out, before the town falls into chaos and destruction.

Silverspawn did a GPT-2 game back in the day (it was Debatepro’s first real game) but the tech is way better now,

Yes, E-3 is what we say now. ExLo instead of LyLo, too.

I still think the traitor is mostly irrelevant on D1, but I’m not sure that it really matters. It’s obvi way better for us to find the SM and just win, and I don’t think there’s any disagreement about that. Similarly, we can’t look for partner interactions because, well, there won’t be any.

My real point was that if we manage to get some sort of real wagon going on the SM, they have to try to get out of it on their own because they don’t have any cover. So, we should see more vehement actions towards that end.


63
I only just saw Scola and LL’s responses to this thinking on the previous page. It looks like we all agree on it’s weird for the lone assassin!

64
So, like, I don't think you're missing anything about the setup but I don't get how you get to the conclusion that it's basically the same as there being just one scum.

Well, in terms of there being a team or partners, its pointless since someone doesn't know who the team is so they are not working in concert.  So, the strongman is just looking out for themselves, really, which means to me that that they are only one for all intents and purposes until/unless they recruit.  We win if we find the SM, so the traitor is just irrelevant.  And since the SM can't rely on a partner to defend them if things get sticky, they have to do it themselves.  Which was the point I was trying to make.  Mathdude is doing the most work in trying to shake a wagon, perhaps because he has to. If he is the SM a wagon is freaking scary.

65
ah, I'm also the jester

You are totally a Jester!!

66
I have to keep reminding myself that scum is just one person.

What do you mean scum is just one person?

Well, right now it is one person, the strongman.  And they know who the traitor is, but not vice versa.  So, for all intents and purposes for this day, its just one person. Since the traitor knows nothing, they aren't part of a team or acting as team, presumably.  At least that is how I read this "10 Player Game. 2 Skum v 8 Town."  Am I missing something (its me, so entirely possible)

67
I also feel like you described mathdude in every game.

I think I already answered about a reason why my playing isn't the same. Life has changed.

Schrödinger's mathdude is playing the game exactly the same he always has, and also completely differently because of all the changes to his life.

Nice reference. I'm not a cat though. And when MiX said you described my every game, that's exactly what I was thinking at that point.

Find one thing I said (in this case, calling a post fluff), then it starts spiraling. Then get me as the easy D1 exile. Wouldn't be the first time.

The real question is... has scum jumped on my wagon yet or not? When would they think is the ideal time?

I have to keep reminding myself that scum is just one person. So, there is no reason for them to go anywhere at all, as long as they aren't they the exile, in which case I'd assume there'd be all kinds of looking to get out from under. The question is, then, is that what you are doing now?

68
Also, I know we have no ability to change the name that f.ds gives us, but I freaking love that Joth is a Jester, EFHW is a spy, Awaclus is an Adventurer, Mathdude is a Conspirator, MiX is a Navigator, and I am a Diplomat.

69
That was really rude.
What about it? The comment about fluff? I just mean there's a lot of non-commital comments. Nothing that we can really confirm or push back against.

It might be considered rude to characterize someone’s comments as worthless, especially when there are simultaneous conversations going on about naked votes being insufficient. Further, I think you’re wrong about my post not saying anything. I’m not sure exactly where you think it became meaningless, but since I shared my thinking about everyone and ended in a vote, it actually has a fair amount of value. If you mean that some of my comments are non-communal or middling, that is fair. I don’t have strong feelings about those folks, or I do but I know better than to act on them since they lead me astray so frequently. But at least you know where I stand.

I hope the life and family changes have been welcome. My work schedule is crazy pants this semester and I realize now that I way underestimated my ability to power through late afternoon classes. I am, deep my heart, a morning person.

Ooohh…. Things got spicy overnight!

Mathdude is wrong that it’s too early for wagons, especially since we tend to get quiet on weekends.

MiX is voting around as much as I’d expect.

I like when Awa is around.

I’m super suspicious when gkrieg is not around.

I wonder what happened to the Joth wagons.

I have no way to read EFHW at all. She is the best.

I vote for Joseph all the time. I’m almost never right. But it’s not the worst move.

LaLi on the quick awaclus follow would be more sus to me if mathdude hadn't made the “it’s too early” arg.

Scola seems very Scola. Which is sometimes scummy, but often not.

I have a slight preference for

Vote: gkrieg

71
I'd guess the day ends on Monday since that is when it started and they are 7 days long...

72
Awa, is the notify button at the top of the thread not working?

I've got an unnotify button there instead and haven't gotten even a single notification.

Ugh. Things should just work properly

73
I’m just sitting here being delighted that Joth says things like j’accuse. And then disappointed that MiXy doesn’t find it as delightful.

74
Awa, is the notify button at the top of the thread not working?

Hi all!

Man, I thought when I hammered, we'd get a relatively quick start - no shade on swowl at all, just I'm just mentioning because I will be traveling to Korea next week (and prepping this week). So not sure how much I'll be around, especially later next week. though I'm also not sure when the end of day 1 is actually, as the post says Jan 20? that doesn't seem right. :)

is there an actual known reason why some of the names are bold, btw?


Ooooohhhhhh…. What are you doing in Korea??
