Arkham Mafia [ENDGAME]
Moderator: Community Team
Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
This is from Gotham's show wiki about Fish Mooney's
Mooney was a member of the Falcone crime family and the owner of Mooney's Nightclub.
This might be a good location to visit if we want information about the Falcone mafia faction. I'm unsure if this is a place in the comics so I'm just going on TV Show knowledge?
Mooney was also a semi helpful informant for the Gotham police so this location might help with knowledge about either crime family, corrupt cops, and inmates.
Thoughts?
linki: Well I was mainly thinking from the second Batman movie with Joker blowing up the hospital so it might be a target for inmates, I'd think the hospital could help players if they get poisoned or something like that.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
@sig - I'd be up for Fish Mooney's, that sounds like a good idea.
On the other hand, the idea of heading to Arkham right after the breakout still might be a good one despite the fact they aren't the mafia.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Really it looks like 10 cops need a certain independent dead to meet their win condition .Golden wrote:They do? It doesn't look to me like ANY civilians need the independents dead, to me. Whereas the town definitely needs the crime families dead.Enrique wrote:Independents whom most civvies need dead to winGolden wrote:@Hosts - what happens if both crime families try to buy off the same cop?
Bass's idea sounds sensible enough, but I'd also point out that everyone from the Asylum appears to be independent. So, it might not help us find the crime families (who seem more analagous to mafia).
But a lot of those independents don't seem exactly friendly.
This is literally the first think I noticed when I got my role card, so right back at you.
Looks like someone beat me to this point.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
@Hosts I take it the game ends when two out of the three main competing factions (GCPD + the mafias) are dead? Or do all independent-related conflicts need to be resolved as well? (Joker vs Batman, Gordon, Falcone and Maroni for example)
linki:
@Golden: Every independent is assigned to a civvie. It makes sense that if we want the civives to win, we'd go after them. And yes, Wayne Manor should probably be counted as civvies as well, so that's 13/16 civs with an indie hunt in their best interests.
(linki2: Okay, so now it's a better option)

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
I don't think it really matters where we go first because we'll probably have to go everywhere eventually. Mooney's and the Docks sound like the likeliest places to find criminals but they could also gain advantages there. I might just chill at the precinct and see if they've got any leads.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
No, I don't think it means 'an indy hunt' is the best approach. If there are 9 indies someone doesn't need dead, the chances of them finding their one by hunting indies seems very slim. The town needs 6 out of 6 baddies dead and most of them need 1 out of 10 independents dead. That's a very different strike rate.Enrique wrote:@Hosts I take it the game ends when two out of the three main competing factions (GCPD + the mafias) are dead?

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
I'm not sure about this I'm assuming it is as a group like in Star Wars since it is a poll, also we aren't sending it in via PM like in World Reborn.Turnip Head wrote:Or maybe we are choosing individually?
I agree with Golden I think it is better to hunt the mafia rather then the inmates overall the mafia are a larger threat, hunting the inmates will take longer as there are more and people who are inmates might not play as different as when they are civs, plus the mafia is a bigger threat they will only need one inmate dead and then the civs while the civs will need eight inmates dead and then the mafia it will help the mafia more to hunt independents then mafia.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
No u.Enrique wrote:Okay, Golden. I'm glad you're coming out as bad so early in the game.
The civilians win if the baddies are dead. That's what matters to me. If Cop 1# was to be recruited tonight, for example, there is absolutely no need for Cop #1's independent counterpart to be lynched by the town. If cop #4 dies, there is no need to lynch cop #4s independent counterpart. We would create huge inefficiency by trying to take out EVERY independent. Each person who needs to take out one should focus on figuring out who they are and getting rid of them.
I'm absolutely sure some independents will go along the way, and there are probably good reasons to actively hunt them for certain reasons, but the baddies should be our primary focus, not the independents.
And if your approach to my basic and fairly straightforward logic of 6 out of 6 as opposed to 1 out of 10' is simply to call me bad without addressing the point, then I'm not sure why I should feel good about you. I think trying to focus the thread very squarely on independent hunting is exactly what the baddies would want to do.
Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
To be clear, I am not arguing against prioritizing scum-hunt over indie-hunt (I currently have no intention of voting AA). But we are going to have to do both. The bigger picture here is that with no indies dead, only three civvies win. They matter a lot. I also really want to get an answer from the host re: when the game ends, because that would suck ass if we killed the two mafia families before anybody else and no one won as a result lol.

Totally called this misrepresentation. I love how bad you are already. I'm reading your role card post added to your reluctance to go after independents as a huuge early slip. Even if you were one of the three other GCPD roles, surely you'd understand that the rest of the team can't win as easily.I think trying to focus the thread very squarely on independent hunting is exactly what the baddies would want to do.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Here are my thoughts on the locations:
Arkham Asylum - The scene of the crime, likely to contain several clues and trails to follow.
Wayne Manor - Bruce Wayne's residence and the secret location of the Batcave, Batman's sactum sanctorum. Likely to contain information on Gotham's underground and it's various criminal elements. Batman tends to keep detailed notes on these sorts of things.
Wayne Enterprises - Gotham's version of Microsoft. Probably contains gadgets, gear, tools, etc from "WayneTech".
Fish Mooney's - Probably a good place to go looking for crooks on the lamb.
The Docks - Another good source for gear, although of a distinctly more illicit flavor.
Gotham City Police Department - Not sure what would be found here, apart from maybe evidence in lockup.
City Hall - Criminals with white collars. Again, not sure what would be gained from here.
Park Row - Crime alley, probably the first place many of the escapees would flock to.
Blackgate Penitentiary - Muggle Prison. Difficult to say if the inmates or the guards like it better.
Gotham City General Hospital - Pretty good place to go if you're a wounded escapee and also an idiot. Not likely to be useful at this early stage.
I'm leaning towards going to Mooneys. Always a good idea to keep one's ear to the ground.

Usually maps show locations and connections between them.Enrique wrote:I have no idea how any of this map business works so I'm just gonna treat it as though it was any other Day 0 location poll.
So yeah still no idea of how to vote. Starting where the breakout happened does make sense, sort of, but I'm also kinda wary about going head first into baddie territory. The deal with these things is that there's always obvious goodie/baddie spots, but how each works is still very much a gamble.

So far, gettin' indie vibes from sig and SVS, and Golden is bein' strange.
I think we should go to Arkham considering the game is Arkham Mafia, but if this is like Star Wars, then we'll probably visit all of these locations eventually.
Btw hosts, is this game based on a mix of different source materials? I did not expect to see the name "Fish Mooney" pop up in what otherwise looks to be a pretty sweet game.
(oh, and if town knows what's good for it, we should probably lynch Wilgy Day 1 just to be safe)

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
What possible baddie motivation is there to be reluctant to go after independents? Please - make a rational case out of that for me.Enrique wrote:To be clear, I am not arguing against prioritizing scum-hunt over indie-hunt (I currently have no intention of voting AA).

The rest of the team CAN win as easily, and I've explained this to you over and over. How many people will usually be alive at game end, about 6 on average? I think the chances of a civilian cop being alive at the end when the cops win, and his independent counterpart also being alive to be slim. Heck, if I did or have rolled a cop I would be saying exactly what I'm saying now. It would be my job to find the one person I need to kill, and lynching my way through ten independents to get there would just be selfish. Killing a baddie is in the interests of everyone. Killing an independent is in the interests of one person. It's really straightforward.
You are fighting and pushing to chase independents. Why?
You ignore my logical points. Why?
You think that as a baddie I'm going to come out swinging against going after independents? WHY? Like I just pointed out, the baddies couldn't be happier if everyone goes chasing independents.
You ignore the others who have taken my points and agree with me. Why?
Is it because I nailed you in Star Wars, and you feel threatened?
C'mon, rationalise where you think my headspace is at for any of that to be true, Enrique. Convince me that your stuff about me is in any way genuine. Because right now all I see is someone making bad arguments to try and pin a motive on me that makes no sense, and I don't know why that would be your response instead of just actually recognising I have a point. You seem completely locked into your idea, and unwilling to budge from it, and its like you are trying to push a logical point of your own to make it seem genuine but your logical point just makes no sense. Each one of those cops, if they eliminate the baddies, can win with NINE of the independents alive.
By the way, I still think I'll probably vote Arkham. The leads are hot now. But I'm telling you that I will be pushing in this game VERY hard to stay focussed on the BADDIES. The independents are no loss, but they are exactly who the baddies want us to lynch while they clean us up.
And yeah, because doubling down on flawed ideas and not listening to reason is often a baddie tell.

Hello everyone.
The game really wants us to go to Arkham imo. Thats where things are happening and I believe we might miss out on a lot of information if we neglect it.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Preliminary reports indicate that Golden is GCPD or independent. Civ Golden loves to argue like it's his day job or something.
If this is anything like X-men (I didn't play Star Wars so I forget how it worked) this poll is simply deciding the order of the locations we visit. There's no grid so I doubt it's a full fledged map like World Reborn.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Sticking with a Arkham Asylum vote. Makes sense to check out the scene of the crime first.
Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
I don't buy it, Golden. You're acting like I'm trying to sideline the Mafia when that is simply not true. You act like there's been a massive dicussion about this, where I'm arguing your 'rational factual actual logic science based focus' is a perspective a civ couldn't possibly hold, that that's the sole reason you are scum. You're also somehow both ignoring and using against me the idea that indies are scum to me. Simple as is, Golden, they're our enemies as much as the other roles.
What reason would you have to ignore the indie hunt? So many! For starters, you do realize that each Mafia needs the other dead, right? And we are going to get them both, like, Christ where do you even get the idea that I'm opposing that? I think you're Supatowning it up because your team doesn't give a shit about Independents one way or another. The rest of us? They're our enemies. As much as the Mafia is, and please stop using that "logic" card against me like I haven't thought this out or I don't know what I'm saying. Talking down to me isn't gonna do anything to convince me that you're good.
Bringing up Star Wars Mafia makes me feel like you are the one who's threatened, Golden. I don't even understand where that came from. This is my case. This is me on you. This is me telling you that I don't buy it, that you've all but crossed out almost any civvie role for you and you know you got caught. And, you know, it didn't have to be this way. I would've been a lot less aggressive about this, potentially even let it go if you didn't try to twist my words to make it about me and responded appropriately ("Oh, gee, I get it now. The other baddies are also bad!"). I don't even necessarily blame you for disagreeing, but you're painting indie hunt as something bad that only bad people would have any motive for following. Also I am focused squarely on indie hunting. Oh, and you're voting Arkham Asylum too to prove how okay it is with you! That's bullshit, G.
@Hosts: Hey don't forget me! When does the game end? Does every single conflict (GCDP vs Mafia vs Mafia, Cop vs Indie, Joker vs Wayne Gordon Falcoke Maroni) need to be resolved, or only the main one?
What reason would you have to ignore the indie hunt? So many! For starters, you do realize that each Mafia needs the other dead, right? And we are going to get them both, like, Christ where do you even get the idea that I'm opposing that? I think you're Supatowning it up because your team doesn't give a shit about Independents one way or another. The rest of us? They're our enemies. As much as the Mafia is, and please stop using that "logic" card against me like I haven't thought this out or I don't know what I'm saying. Talking down to me isn't gonna do anything to convince me that you're good.
Bringing up Star Wars Mafia makes me feel like you are the one who's threatened, Golden. I don't even understand where that came from. This is my case. This is me on you. This is me telling you that I don't buy it, that you've all but crossed out almost any civvie role for you and you know you got caught. And, you know, it didn't have to be this way.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Or, or, or, hey. Maybe you're just an Independent who's reluctantly going with the majority option not to stick out, even after trying to nudge the town the other way
Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
This is the first post even using the word "Independent" for the Arkham Asylum baddies. This stinks, right? To turn this on you, maybe focusing squarely on Mafia is what an Arkham baddie would want us to do.Golden wrote:@Hosts - what happens if both crime families try to buy off the same cop?
Bass's idea sounds sensible enough, but I'd also point out that everyone from the Asylum appears to be independent. So, it might not help us find the crime families (who seem more analagous to mafia).
But a lot of those independents don't seem exactly friendly.

Hmm...Golden wrote:@Hosts - what happens if both crime families try to buy off the same cop?
This ends when two of those three main factions you named are eliminated. Any independent or additional win conditions need to be satisfied by that point.Enrique wrote:@Hosts I take it the game ends when two out of the three main competing factions (GCPD + the mafias) are dead? Or do all independent-related conflicts need to be resolved as well? (Joker vs Batman, Gordon, Falcone and Maroni for example)

I don't disagree, but if he's arguing so much, why would he be independent-- according to this line of logic?Turnip Head wrote:Preliminary reports indicate that Golden is GCPD or independent. Civ Golden loves to argue like it's his day job or something.
If this is anything like X-men (I didn't play Star Wars so I forget how it worked) this poll is simply deciding the order of the locations we visit. There's no grid so I doubt it's a full fledged map like World Reborn.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Thanks Epi.
So you hear that, folks? Let's not even try to win. How many of us are gonna survive anyway, six? Just give up.

Well Golden! That's a nice big glass of WIFOM, mind if I have a sip? Why did you wait until we were in game to let us know about this? You could've mentioned it in the pre game lobby... Er... Maybe you did. Didn't really check but I'm assuming you didn't based upon your posts. Also... Are we hinting at rolls already Golden? *sings* ~Epi's gonna kill you!~

Yeah that confused me too, and Golden even knew what to answer so it must be something obvious

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
Well, Indy Golden loves to argue too, even when he doesn't have to if Star Wars is any indication. But I think his mafia-hunting perspective is genuine and that could line up with some of the inmates' goals. He could also be setting up a supatown persona in the event that he's a cop and gets bought off, but that hasn't happened yet.Dom wrote:I don't disagree, but if he's arguing so much, why would he be independent-- according to this line of logic?Turnip Head wrote:Preliminary reports indicate that Golden is GCPD or independent.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
So the game has started. You think I'd get a heads up from the co-host I married.
We're leaving soon to do a pre-birthday lunch for LC, his birthday is tomorrow. I'll catch up on the thread after we get back.

Re: Arkham Mafia [Day 0]
If Mr. Freeze becomes a serial killer, he becomes a threat to everyone, because he will need everyone dead to win. If that happens, everything continues even if two of the three central factions are eliminated, and it won't end until Victor is dead or kills everybody.Enrique wrote:What if Mr. Freeze becomes a serial killer?
