Mafia 1988: MGSF Legends

[Roger]

- During that night, all other players' abilities are blocked, including the Mods' collective kill.

I think nothing is used. I think it is the simplest answer, everyone still has their "power" to use. Also I think that both Null(member) and Annoying Prick(member) quickly switching to me, should prove that I am Town.

[Dirty Duck]

If you have a single use ability and it's roleblocked, it should be consumed. But with Prick dead and Aragorn not overly suspicious of anyone over anyone else there's no guarantee they even tried to use it last night.

[Null]

One other thing, the idea I’ve been “absent” is so loud, wrong, and uniquely irritating. I obviously got it wrong yesterday, but absent? I’ve been one of the most vocal players in the entire thread lol. I’ve literally posted more than you Faisal.

It is not about overall activity level. I am saying you were very tiptoe-y on yesterday's cycle and uncharacteristically absent for that. UNCHARACTERISTICALLY.

My guy, there's absolutely no basis for me being absent anywhere. Although I'm starting to think that's the best way to play these games If I want to survive.

I was tip-toey because I didn't buy Max's reasoning. It's not my fault it turned out to be bang on.

[Dirty Duck]

absent. Although I'm starting to think that's the best way to play these games If I want to survive.

Roy nearly died yesterday for it, remember?

[Null]

Not really lol, he got a few votes and everyone was easily led away from him. Either way, I'm just defending Aragorn's assertion that I've been playing 'uncharacteristically'.

[Mr. Tibbs]

Tibbs has roleclaimed, uncontested.
starschwar has roleclaimed, uncontested.
Aragorn is confirmed town.
Agent is town.
Roy is town.
I am town.

What is the thinking for Agent being confirmed town? I do think Roy is likely town based on voting behavior but it's not out of the realm of possibility that he is still mafia. Especially considering last game annoyingprick (member) was able to zero in on the mafia due to their shortsighted and foolish reluctance to join a lynch train.

That said you hit the bullseye on prick out of nowhere so I'm going to basically just follow along with you in this day phase unless something else comes up. I'm just trying to follow along the process.

My top sus list is null and then weavo but I still feel like Roy, Roger, and Agent are possible.

There is also the slim chance that you are mafia pulling off a double 200 IQ reverse town leader gambit but I still don't think the odds on that play are worth it and something you would try lol

[Roy]

I think if I hadn't responded for another hour, I'd be toast!

Roger is so hard to read - it was the same in the last game, he's so bloody erratic and nonsensical. He would be fantastic at being a mafia because I'd probably not notice any difference haha.

[bigboss88]

@bigboss88 can we get a confirmation on how trickster works in relation to other powers? if trickster was used, and the mafia masked someone - is that ability now burned or they can use it in the subsequent cycle?

Nope. It doesn’t get burnt.

[Null]

What's the basis of me being a top suspect? Just cause I didn't lynch 'Prick?

I think we're getting dangerously close to treating assumptions as established facts here.

Yes, Max got Prick right. Fair play. But suddenly we're clearing half the remaining players because they voted for Prick, or because someone thinks they're behaving like Town?

Mafia 187'ing one of their own to establish credibility is hardly some revolutionary strategy. Especially in a game where people are willing to write off entire groups of players based on voting patterns.

And the argument against me seems to have become that I didn't vote for Prick, I followed Tibbs onto Roger, and apparently I was both too quiet and too vocal.

I got Prick wrong. So did other Town players. That doesn't automatically make everybody who voted for him innocent.

I'd rather we actually scrutinised the people we're casually clearing than spend another day congratulating ourselves for solving half the game based on vibes.

[Mr. Tibbs]

The basis is just about who is left tbh. I very much agree with your last point. I don't like the idea of putting anyone into a confirmed box just because. Creating blindspots after one lucky lynch is not gonna help. That's why I'm curious why duck thinks Agent is confirmed. Or really Roy for that matter.

IMO the only confirmed town besides Aragorn is me and not because I role claimed but because I can check my inbox and see that I'm not mafia LOL
Everyone should be operating under the same principle at this point of the game.

Question everything, don't join trains without posting thoughts, ask people to elaborate why some people aren't suspects in their mind, etc. The game is won for the town by acquiring information, not by rolling the dice
