[SPECTATOR CHAT] Mafia of Montreal

#1

Finally, it's on

This is where any dead and non-players discuss the game. Dead players are encouraged not to share their role or any information they had outside of spoiler tags. Just be respectful and we'll be good

#2

What's up, 'tators

#3

Yay, spectating!

Good gawd.

At the next opportunity, I hope to accuse you of doing something "backpedalingly", Epi.

This is interesting.

Nice observation, Epi, I was just thinking that nutella seemed mafia based on that same post. She has a mafia tell, wherein she makes a series of statements that seem relatively or completely noncommittal, but then makes a firm stance, particularly early in the game. This is in contrast to when, as a civilian, she tends to get lynched for being overly noncommittal or wishy-washy; I'd say when she's mafia she tends to make more confident, firm decisions. She seems to be displaying that right now.

#8

Hey cool! Another spectator chat for me to fail to keep up with. I swear, I'll try to do better this time.

Feisty Scotty is feisty.

Skycat, MM, Typhoony, sig and Boulders are mafia. gg

The nose knows.

As did random.org

#14

Does anyone think Scotty slipped? There's some hard reasoning going on by a few players that makes it look likely.

Could it also be a manufactured slip by a baddie to provide some cover for his teammates? Bussing a teammate Day 1 has happened before.

This is going to be an entertaining Day 1.

Scotty banters with his team a lot in BTSC. If he were to slip, it could have been any post with any manner of content, like responding to a teammate's question about what he had for supper the night before. That his very first post is on topic, about whom to kill (before Day 1 has even started, no less), and indirectly related to S~V~S is far too coincidental for me to believe it was any kind of mistake.

#16

So do you think it was a joke or he, as a baddie, posted that to make it look like a slip?

#17

G-Man wrote:So do you think it was a joke or he, as a baddie, posted that to make it look like a slip?

I think it was an intentional joke, but I don't think it speaks to his alignment either way. He could still be bad who was just trying to be funny.

Damn, how hard is it to vote the right person?

Maybe they're trying to vote while on a smart phone? If that's not it, then

How hard is it to...you know...LOOK at where your vote is before tapping submit? I do that even on a computer.

I'm with you all the way. I was just trying to come up with an explanation. There's no excuse for not double checking your vote before hitting submit.

Well, even I screwed it up one time...

#24

Dat Sky post

#25

I know I'm supposed to stay neutral, but damn that's a good case.

#26

I just wanna say, this is an incredibly satisfying game to host. I hope it stays that way.

#27

Those two are just

Luckily, I already called scum on them, so the civs just need to do what's necessary.

#28

Yeahh I'll honestly just modkill/replace them if they still refuse to tone it down, lol. But, as far as night actions and actual discussion goes, I'm very satisfied.

#29

Boulders wasn't bad?!

RIGGED

As a host, I find myself rooting for everyone. You can't help it, even though you know everyone can't win. All you really want is people to play hard and try to win, and for each individual person I hope for them that they happen to use their ability perfectly. Great cases are part of that.

I start out neutral, but root for those that put forth effort.

#32

I love it when things go well for a player. It's boring to just be making decisions with little effect on you, but once they actually catch on and develop an informed strategy, it's just really exciting to see it unfold and be counteracted by other players.

The poll yesterday was so tense, but in the end with the indie lynch it just gives the other factions more time to get their game going. Love the way it's building up. I hadn't hosted a non-LMS Mafia in like five years so this makes me really giddy

This is exactly how I am as a host as well.

#34

Rico you were wrong :P

But, damn I didn't get lynched early this game and instead I was NK the second night. My luck is just horribly.

LC, Zebra, and SVS I'm calling all three as mafia. Defiantly LC and Zebra.

#35

Also MM I think he is mafia.

#36

oh shiz sig wasn't bad either

So I'm basically your favourite?

Key opposing elements in Mafia for me are analysis and deception. More or less the civs have the former, the mafia must make use of the later. Without having hosted yet any game, I usually find myself interested in how the deception side of the game would turn out, aka would root for the mafia to pull a good win. This would probably wear off, as a Host, when I'd be committed to being impartial.

A third path would probably be rooting for each player to use their assigned roles to their best capabilities. Come to think of it, the thing I love most in Mafia are actually the roles.

THM is for me an extraordinary example of this. Civs, mafia and rogue alike hardly made any major misstep with their roles.

This is where I sit. As a host, it sucks to see good roles ruined by either poor play or bad luck. You can't prevent bad luck, so I try not to get too emotionally attached to roles I create. Sometimes that can be difficult.

#38

Hello!

Can I sub in? I was right about Nutella and I think I'm still right about black rock.

#39

Also I'm hyped up on 3 liters of coffee after a long flight and I'm ready to roll. Is sky cat still playing?

And for the record, I did not intend to vote myself day 1. I was in a rush after getting my places call and I misclicked.

Metalmarsh wasn't bad either.

#41

Was I killed because they thought I was recruited by nutella?

It doesn't make sense for the baddies to go after each pther in this game.

The Immortals be all gone. :O

#45

Yeahh that mechanic didn't quite pay off

#46

Enrique wrote:Yeahh that mechanic didn't quite pay off

Yeah that was a tricky situation. In typical Scotty fashion I felt like talking too much D1 and as a sacrifice to helping Porc win, he's been MIA for a few days. Oh well.

On topic, Dfaraday and Black Rock are supes shady

#47

Sorry for trying to lynch you Scotty.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Sorry for trying to lynch you Scotty.

Hah it's all good. I was all over the place.

Sorry you weren't Mafia this game

#49

If it makes you feel any better, at least I didn't nightkill you. :P

#50

I still can't believe the mafia killed me of all people.
