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.

Expand  

Baseless defense could be a sign that someone wants  to try to build up "Town cred" by defending a town player even though they have no cause. It's day1 so there is no chance of a viewing.  Remember,  the mafia KNOW who is town, so they can defend them and be right.

Another newbie (in all sorts of ways - including having just arrived at the Manor) here! Read through threads...and understand what(?) or how(?) the game works...but still no suspicions about anyone.  Do I just randomly throw shade and see if it reveals something? Or do I instead plead my innocence? 

Quietly pours himself a drink and ....

 

thinks, thinks, thinks....

because we can't protect you at night.

A subtle claim at being a Townie, I see... 🧐

 

Double points for passing the Oath Rod test: if you are Mafia, you indeed can't protect the cop at night... Hmm, smart move @Turin Turambar...

[Turin Turambar]

Lololol

 

Everyone is town here, don't you know that?

 

[Turin Turambar]

And now I'm off to work.  See ya later.

Hi Sooh. Snow day.

 

Please don't be mafia

Expand  

In Norway, every day is snow day. 

 

You're in luck 😉

[Sooh]

Anybody around? I can be available more or less for a couple of hours. Will check in sporadically while reading.

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Hi Sooh 👋

 

Trying to think what us towniest of townies could do to draw mafia out. They can just be quiet and win on even chances. But any noise townies make will drown them out. It would almost be safer not to lynch anyone, but of course then nothing happens to distinguish mafia and townies keep dying. 

 

It is insufferable. Perhaps we just need to gang up on someone and see what comes lose when we shake them. 

[Sooh]

That is kind of mafia in a nutshell, yeah. 

[Sooh]

What made you want to play mafia @HeavyHalfMoonBlade?

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

I was curious. For raising points I helped Mother fill out a spreadsheet with details of people in the Warders Guild which involved trying to find the last date they posted. Which meant I've dredged through a lót of old posts and a lot of people talking about Mafia. Also got me reading a 12 year old thread about feminism. That was an interesting three and a half hours though. 

 

Mafia seems like something that is an emergent property of the rules. Until you play, you'll never understand what it is about from hearing the rules. 

[Sooh]

That's for sure. When I joined the mafia subforum was really active, and I just randomly started reading a game. It was a rough first start, because people were seemingly fighting and rather rude and toxic to one another, but I guess I just got too curious and decided to find out more. 

 

It's getting late for me though. I'll try to read once more before I go to sleep.

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Sleep well 🙂

Wolfy AF

 

[Zander?]

Is this the game thread or just the signup???!?!

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

I think this is the game thread. 

 

Going from the title. 

[Ithillian Turambar]

This was the Sign Up Thread and then I converted it into the Game Thread.

 

It seemed safer than letting anyone get lost.

 

Cos it was hard work finding you all. Totally worth it though 💙

Wait, there are young people here?

 

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.

Are you a new or first time player?  Because I'd vote you for this and never ever ever change my mind if you're not....no cap lol

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.

I may actually die in this hill and be lold at forever but again....

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?

This is gonna be a fun fun fun game....sup Mills?!?!?!!!?!

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.

As much as I hate agreeing with a Wolf this is the truths

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

 

Splendid.

This is what a Wolf (aka a Mafia or Scum as they're called by any of this terms) would say....lololololol
