@tutuuBenson (my cat) is not doing well. Please send your thoughts and prayers as I prepare him for nirvana. (in addition to being a mafia player extraordinaire i happen to double as a trans-species shaman)
he's an old dude and this was expected for a while, but i need to give the guy some love and might not be around the thread as much as yesterday

More or less confirmed in thread by 112 and grapefruit.Star are you seriously suggesting that Focus has picked out people who are PRs AND that this group has somehow identified each other enough to vote as a block without anyone else noticing?

You'd have to go though, player by player, to see their individual reaction and judge it based on their specific meta.

I had the thought earlier that if hk and jpic really do have nearly identical roles, it is unlikely they are the same alignment, or they're both third party or something. But now that hollowkatt has clarified a bit, I no longer feel like the roles are all that similar. What I understand of hk's role is not necessarily a town ability. The same can be said of what we know about JPIC's role, unless I'm missing something.
X neighborhood was the best mafia post I've ever read.

it is very insular, yes. Doesn't impact others, doesn't give me an advantage other than if I'm right I won't be killed. I said already it's great on a townie who's thread camping and super up to date on the winds of the thread etc. Unfortunately I got it instead.Sloonei wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:35 pmI had the thought earlier that if hk and jpic really do have nearly identical roles, it is unlikely they are the same alignment, or they're both third party or something.

This might be a scenario where timestamps of posts might be useful to look at, particularly around the time when folks started realizing you were silenced. For those that were around at that time, a significant gap/slowdown in posts in someone's ISO during that period, especially if that someone was posting at a faster pace beforehand, might indicate that they were hesitant to react to it? I might go and check for that later when I finally wake myself up more.Sloonei wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:31 pmYeah, that's mostly what I was doing.Hyena wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:13 pmI didn't at the time.

I think the mafia team, generally speaking, would have been more caught off guard by it simply because they were not responsible for it, and I'm not somebody you'd expect to be targeted by an ability like that from anyone who's not on the mafia team. I would expect them to be a little less quick to react to it, and just follow the leads of whatever civilians were around at the time. It's way I think Made looks so good there: he was the first one to really start reflecting on what it meant at the time. I think you look good because your response was so lighthearted. Long Con's response was troubling because he just seemed to not know how to react at all. I noticed a similar response from Nanook later on.
it's in contention for best forum mafia game ever played imo, and i say that without any biasMaster Radishes wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:24 pm That game made some people so angry they couldn't eat their cheerios.
I like this thought. I was reading the thread sequentially during my wall post earlier, and I also have a fairly vivid memory of the moment in real time (I was angry, you see), so I generally remember who was here and who was not, but I didn't really take notice of any trends like this.Hyena wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:38 pm This might be a scenario where timestamps of posts might be useful to look at, particularly around the time when folks started realizing you were silenced.

This all seems fine to me. I should be at the top of the list though. Don't know if I'd call Made super town tbh, but also sure. I think JPIC was caught pretty easily in Radiohead game, so him being "super town" is probably because he's town, yes? With my quite frankly limited view of the game, this seems pretty good to me. Not surprising, since I'm sponging a lot of reads. =p
I think you should. We can maybe figure out if there was or wasn't a nightkill by the mafia on the night he died.
yes

the only utility for HK's ability is avoiding night kills, and by all accounts there was only one shot for town during the night, and required multi-phase "charging"
if he were a wolf, what would he be betting for each night?
Tim is a vigilante, there could be more non-mafia killing powers floating around as well. We simply don't know. But the operative phrase here is "claimed ability" anyway. There could easily be more to that role.Syn wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:43 pm HK's claimed ability is town unless there's as-of-yet unactivated town KP

Sorry again for being lacklustre this game. Hope 112 is another hit.

possible is that HK isn't betting for avoiding kills, but is betting for avoiding checks and such

Alright. I'll think things through and make a call tomorrow after rereading some stuff. Fortunately, I don't think I'm limited with regard to who or when I can seance, so theoretically, I could bring one in tomorrow, and the other the next day if needed. But yeah, I'll think things over.hollowkatt wrote: ↑Wed Feb 24, 2021 6:46 pmprobably a good call yeah
