Why are we not lynching Pie again?

Also, somebody tell me who Thoth is please.


Because most of us know that being a brazen bull who charges unapologetically from target to target is NAI for Pie.

Mafia was bound to infiltrate the mason chats and learn the guild leaders' identities anyway, but I find myself agreeing that we could have learned a few things from either withholding the info or declaring it much later in the DP.

Why would you out yourself right away?


There was a protracted debate about it. One camp advocated for withholding who the guild leaders were in order to farm alignment-indicative behavioral data, the other advocated for outing right away in order to narrow POE.


On evens you get a free no lynch. 6 players, 2 scum, 4 town, if you no lynch the mafia reduces the game to 2v3 reducing the poe.


Ah, tyvm

Yes if we openly discuss our recruiting plans, maybe they will look past the fact that were both actually scum and pulling another crazy gambit here. It's so crazy it might just work...


Fuck you for mindfucking me like this

Why did Mikal need to specify that dead players don't count toward faction totals


Are there roles that have utility after death and might blur the line enough to require that clarification?

Wryly
Really don't get just straight up claiming this under limited pressure (I see 3 votes leading up to this), but here we are. I would give you some towncred for claiming this early, but given the info in the OP, everyone knew that peoples' characters could just be themselves.


Cut him some slack, he has quick-lynch PTSD lol

Pie's tactic, whether town or scum, is to go for weak points -- it's a bulldozer approach where the point is not necessarily to uncover scum but to narrow his POE. Or to give the appearance of narrowing his POE, obviously.

I came up with a custom role for Culture (Iain Banks) Mafia where you could get a live feed of scum chat after you died and forward messages from it to a living player, after the messages were sanitized according to some strict rules. I gave it up because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from being broken without draconian restrictions, plus it felt like a violation of privacy to me.


Interesting. Seems like if you sanitized it to the point of being fair there would be little actionable utility in the information anyway.

This whole game feels like that episode of Rick and Morty where new characters started popping up everywhere but the main characters remembered them always being there, and they turned out to be brain parasites that implanted you with long-term memories of themselves


Basically Mestari is Sleepy Gary

Can't believe we're turbolynching Mes for an excess of personality


I didn't even know that was a thing, I'm in danger

Not town-confirming the leaders makes an interesting mindgame where townies could fake-claim to bait kills from the real guild leaders and the guild leaders would have to decide whether it's kill-baiting or scum trying to pocket town. I can see now why Mikal didn't officially confirm them.


Bait kills from guild leaders? wat
