Game Over- Shady Oaks Retirement Home [Basic Game] - TOWN WINS!

[Cairos]

Well one thing for sure is that mafia can be confusing because you don’t know who is who. Turin does seem suspicious since he’s being the first one to say who he think is mafia. Mafia are people who will try to lie and confuse others and act all innocent.

So when do people start acting suspicious? Isn't throwing out suspicions at the moment only something the Mafia would do as they are the only ones that have targets? Us poor innocent Townies. Turin's behaviour noted.

Sounds like something a filthy mafia person would say. lol 

 

It’s not uncommon for folks to toss out predictions or the like at the beginning of a game. You can use whatever deducing tools you want. Like, I could say since Ithi is runnin a game her husband is in and that she mentioned before how much he loves the mafia game and being mafia that she would indulge her husband’s whim and make him mafia. Or, the other way around. Would she instead tease Turin but makin him vanilla? 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

And so you in turn through suspicion on Turin. How interesting.

Edit to rules, cos I forgot this was a thing. It's been a long time

 

Do not edit your posts. We will not be pedantic about grammar or spelling mistakes.

 

But I can edit mine lol

Good call Ithi.  I forgot about no edits. 

 

Hey Heavy,  hiya Mills.  Hola Cairos.

 

Yeah, usually at the beginning of games there is some silly spamming chit chat type stuff while we wait for everyone to arrive.  Memes and gifs and bragging and whatnot.

Townies are always making an effort to solve for who the mafia are but only the mafia ACTUALLY KNOWS WHO THE MAFIA ARE. I find townies generally are more willing to make their suspicion known and push at people. Mafia are frequently willing to kinda just go along as long as one of their team isn't the target.

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

And everyone says "that's what a Mafia would say!" all the time, I would venture?

 

Splendid.

This is a nudge. Or throwing shade if you will. It is combined with defending me, which I kinda don't like. I took Mills posts as light hearted poking, if it is more then we'll played.

 

I don't really like being defended early as no townies but me know I'm town.

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

But it would also create even more confusion. Though to be fair I cannot imagine being much more confused than now. Baselessly accusing is not really any different from baselessly defending... no, wait. er, well.

 

Confusion reigns.

[Andy MacLeod]

Lol, I feel the same... confused ^^ Wasn't this supposed to be an easy game? lol

Young people referred to new players. 

 

Not sure if this is timid newbie play or something else.

looks like the double post bug happened again.

[Turin Turambar]

Whoops 😳

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

That looks like something a Mafia would do to sow confusion, lol. I suppose the real fun comes when the voting starts. That is when stuff gets real.

[Turin Turambar]

I'm just waiting for more people to show up. 

[Sooh]

Hey retirement friends. I've been trying to read for a while. It's fairly common to throw shade and poke at people in the beginning. 90% jokes, 10% to see who's extra friendly at the start. 

[Andy MacLeod]

Oh my... here's what I've got so far... 

 

Being young in a nursing home = suspicious. That makes me and @HeavyHalfMoonBlade and @Donchadh suspicious - which seems like what long-time Aes Sedai and Warder in league for centuries would do, to steer suspicion away from all their years of plotting...

[Sooh]

Welcome new people btw 😊

[Millon]

What’s shakin. Sooh?!

Easy? No. Basic? Yes. The rules are set to make the game balanced so either side has a reasonable chance to win.

Town has a 7-3 advantage to start but that means we have to find mafia in the first two days or we lose. Town has no way to defend against townies dying at night so we have 

Day 1 if Town gets lynched then it will be 6-3.

Night 1: a townie will die. Town 5-3

Day 2: if Town gets lynched, Town 4-3.

Night 2: townie dies. Even 3-3. Mafia wins.

 

Side note: because of the setup, whoever is the cop, please Do Not Reveal yourself if you can avoid it because we can't protect you at night.

[Gudrean]

Good day folks. I'm here so we can start 😁😂😇

 

Also being and old member = old people? just curious hehe

and new member = young people

so we're a strange old folks home indeed.
