XCOM 2: War of the Chosen Mafia Game Thread

[Grand Moff Hissa]

re: voting and flips I dunno, I mean I'm out for real (cut me some slack, it wasn't midnight yet, few minutes pre-pumpkin ).

I'd sorta like to hear more from Goose because the one commit being "That dude we're about to blow up seems fine to me" is... a take! Especially absent much reasoning (like how do you parse the claim stuff? How do you explain his play, and if he's town does that make Yugi town, and what does that mean for Jack, and, and...?)

But also I do not expect scum to shoot Goose assuming he's not scum bar something screwy.

I'm honestly too tired to make the call. I feel like there is a middle ground between "Hammer right now!" and "Wait until jjjuuussstttt before deadline" but also it's gonna be the middle of the night for a bunch of the game so are we really gonna see material activity anyways? And I imagine you need to sleep eventually as well.

(ninja'd but my question still stands if MW sees this)

Oh, and I've already sorta did a comprehensive readlist, but:

Town

Paige
MeS (down if Toben's scum)

Townnull

MW (down if Jace town, and Slam scum)
Goose (MW raises a good point on Goose not voting, but tbh I buy that as genuinely part of the 'too much material so it's hard to be engaged' thing, I don't feel like there've been very many trains where it makes sense for disengaged town to be on it)
Ricky

Null

Blizz (i dont get MW's read on her and I'm too tired to figure out what to make of it)
Irina (what MW described is pretty much what Irina always looks like to me, would otherwise be in scumnull)
Slam (tons of mixed signals here, down to like the area between scum and scumnull if Jace is town)

Scumnull

Boogie

Scum

Jace
Yugi (unless Jace is town, obvs)

(ordering within tiers is basically random, I can try to order by towniness/scumminess within tiers but tbh it'd be pretty arbitrary)

[Zetsu]

if jace is scum i suspect yugi/slam next if jace is town i give zetsu a real long look, imo

Can I get a bit more on the Jace/Jack connection you're seeing here?

i mis-brained, i meant if jace is town im sus on slam

not sure if retcon or not :shrug:

[Jace]

The truth is I really just wanna flip town so you guys can stop wasting all your time speculating in the context of me being scum. The sooner we get the ball rolling on this whole thing, the sooner I can stop focusing on this game so much, and the sooner you guys can kill Toben and Zetsu (and whoever else you think is prolly scum tbh at this point it's anyone's guess lol) And, again, if I am kept alive til a later phase, scum can just pivot back to me as soon as they're starting to feel the heat to guarantee a mislynch and bring them closer to winning. it's better I die now than in the future for the sake of my team winning.

That said, as I've said countless times, I'm new and there's still blind spots in my logic bc of that. it didn't occur to me that the remaining time we had was valuable because I figured the conversation has nowhere to go at this point until I die because nobody's willing to focus on anybody else until that happens. I stopped pushing so hard once that was pointed out to me. So take all the time you need just remaining town if you see this phase coming to an end and nobody's hammered yet please don't let this end up a no-lynch situation. That's why my vote is staying where it is, so that scum can't pull any shenanigans (at least not as much as before). Suspect me all you want and follow along with Toben's hilarious fear that I'm gonna randomly pull my vote out and cause a no-lynch but when the time comes and my vote is still on and there's no discussion left to be had, please hammer. I really don't wanna have to deal with 40 more pages of this before the next opportunity to get myself lynched presents itself.

Also a parting thought if I wake up to a hammer and can't say this then, it's hilarious to me that my town play is so bad that I'm at the top of everyone's scum lists. Either I'm really bad at playing town, you guys heavily scumreading me are scum yourselves, or I just have an advantage of being hard to read accurately. Almost certainly not the latter but yeah. This is, again, why I scumread zetsu and toben.

[Zetsu]

Mmm I'm gonna go ahead and hammer now, I really don't want to have to think about Mafia tomorrow and worrying about waking up on time and timing things and making sure the lynch goes through if scum do try the double unvote strategy since I have...a lot...of stuff.........to do, that I've been using mafia to procrastinate on. Ricky's the main person I want to hear from who I consider at risk of getting the axe from scum, but he's generally active later in the day, and that'll be too late.

Vote: Jace

[Deamon]

Another day in the war against XCOM and things continued to take a turn for the ADVENT forces, there was confusion in the ranks and by the time a skirmish ended one of their own lay dead.

Lynched:

Jace - ADVENT Trooper, Townie

11 remain. Night 2 begins now and will last until the 21st of April, 19:00 GMT (15:00 EST, 12:00 PST and 5:00 on the 14th for Aus. Just over 48 hours from now) or until I receive all night actions.

[Deamon]

After the second night things were beginning to take a turn for the ADVENT forces. Morale had taken a hit at the inability to deal a significant blow to the XCOM forces. Things were not improved when the morning came.

Dead:

Slam - Chosen Warlock, Role Cop
Emprexx Plush - Chosen Assassin, Vigilante

Day 3 starts now and will run for four days, ending April 25th, at 20:00 GMT (16:00 EST, 13:00 PST and 06:00 on Sunday in Australia.).

9 remain.

[dmboogie]

lmao

[MK Kilmarnock]

Well town HAD a vigilante...

I'm willing to assume that's why we had two deaths last night. That's it, I am genius mafia player, please give me a gold medal for my reading skills please.
