Games Mafia Game 116 - Ghiblification - End Game

[Marmalade]

Night Actions

Here are this game's night actions! Players are sorted by the order they die as usual.

Spoiler: Night Actions

This game was largely designed around trialling the new Serial Killer as well as trying out a new role, the Clown. Despite being solo parties, we thought it would be interesting to see if the comp itself rather than specific roles could aid and hamper these two parties. There was a faux mafia party in three death millers, as well as a freeman that the two non-towns could hide behind. We deemed this little core of semi-pro-towns necessary for the single SK to hide behind + create some competition for the Clown in terms of sus candidates. Police Officer is there to catch the criminal serial killer (only the workday of the cop ends around dinner while the serial killer prowls around at midnight ).

We thought the standard core of Doc, Det and Prost complemented by Cowboy would be sufficient for the town to win with, aside from their numerical superiority. Troublemaker is a double-edged sword involved for everybody. NVD and Bomb are passed along town and can completely debilitate any of the TP's; especially the Bomb could have coldly ended the careers of either one of them. The strongest asset Town had was their numbers; SK would have to survive 4~5 phases whereas Clown has to inversely fight impatience while getting lynched early. If not, the town has enough bodies to throw at the Clown timer.

Overall, maybe aside the PO, we thought the comp was relatively balanced; it was also pretty close. The Clown almost died D1 but then deflated around D5. DD was on the chopping block the whole game, and could have still died rather easily had the last vote been unplaced or just stacked on Faust. Very entertaining! Hope to see all of you guys next game again.​

I agree that going the inactive route is lazy, especially with so much time left in the day. Plenty of time to press everyone, get some info and views from them to figure out who's the best lynch candidate.

How is it lazy if the recent records bring scums as being way move avoidant and absent than not? It's passed being out of annoyance
It's just unfit for this game and time cause of the Clown clauses, but I still believe there's a high chance these low posters are mafia instead/ as well, something I wouldn't ignore at all

Shame I think Gry went to sleep without sharing his analysis on DD, which is mostly a bystander at this point

How do you feel about Holt, Hermit and Tatsu btw, @SirSamuel016

 

[Tatsumaki]

Wait. Personally when I said going the inactive road isn't the way to go I meant that I don't see the clown use this as a strategy to get lynched quickly.
But for mafia yes, there might be one among low posters.

 

[SirSamuel016]

The vanilla bois are always suspect. Three role claimers already died townie.

Who of the three do you suspect the most?

I'm saying it would be lazy to only focus on them, there's actives that should be grilled as well and we can't afford to tunnel on certain sorts so early into the day. I'm about to head to bed so that's me saying "let's get this right and grill as many as possible." I think Hermit is probably scum due to starting with NVD and I'm not buying the claim he's townie with it- Wojak could also potentially be the scum amongst the vanillas but Hermit is more likely.

That said, there's others who also deserve criticism. DD and Faust have essentially been bystanders, saying little and doing nothing. Holt also rubs me as odd with his low activity. Tatsu sounds okay for now, but being passive I wouldn't rule out her being scum if she does her usual 'oh no I'm going to be away because no internet!' schtick just to end up lurking the thread.

I touched on it above in my reply to you just now but I do think they all should be grilled a bit- each have a bit that is odd about them, be it activity, post content, or nature of their action so far (referring to Hermit mentioning an action- seems to be NVD. What do you think about Gry, DD, Faust and Bran?

 

[Hermit]

Also just checking, you're referring to NVD here correct? Why Asako?

Honestly if I could vote I'd have voted Asako. But oh well, c'est la vie.

 

[SirSamuel016]

Fuckin' lazy effort that, actually explain your thought process and answer the question

 

[Hermit]

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 14, 2023, Original Post Date: Oct 14, 2023 ---

I literally said in an earlier post that one of Wojak/Asako might be lying and there are too many vanillas for a game this small.

Fucken' read the posts mate

I'm taking you'll be awake before the day ends to vote properly.

Gry is gray zone for me. Posts less but said beforehand he'd be busy and when he's around he's poking people, tho I wish he'd be more conclusive (as in where he stands); have suspected him a lot in the past for things that rang similar to me and sometimes it turned out he was townie, so no real thing for me to press on about him right now, I think.
DD is a bystander, but it's a bit like Gry - had problems with it in the past and it turns out he was sitting on something (sometimes as town). Doesn't he claim very early tho? D2? D3 max when it's a big game. So I'd expect him to be shouting his role out at this point.
Faust... I 0 recall how Faust plays... Fully not here while being here.... Was asking people about his MO in the previous phase. Currently he's just a random vote, ain't really a part of anything at all...
I'm not sure I like Bran. He seemed more active and talkative than usual yday (and to me it was odd that he was up quite early on a Saturday and PMing someone, but what do I know about his RL schedule), looked a bit jumpy when we considered lynching him, but he's just this big wild card in general, which I'm not a fan of...

Hermit obviously, but he is also a clown suspect makes it tough. Did wojak confirm he is a vanilla townie? He just said his role is boring.

 

[Farfalla]

Hermit, you didn't adress some other stuff that were asked you. You're basically wojak - claims to have the same role as Asako, but still had her as your most suspicious person, if I got it correctly. Why?

I direcly asked him and he confirmed it.

Then why not say that from the outset of being asked to re-articulate your views and actually answer the question instead of quoting something that says fuck all? Lift ya game cocko

Day ends in 18 hours, unless my condition worsens to the point I have to go to the hospital (experiencing bad breathing issues rn) then I anticipate I'll be back again definitely.

Thanks for the input, I see some things similar to you

 

[Hermit]

She claimed vanilla first (Before him). My reasoning has been the same this whole time, more than one vanilla does not make sense in a game this small. I was going to vote her yday but I couldnt vote. I infected her at night because I suspect her the most right now.

I would be okay with lynching her or Wojak today.

 

[GrySun]

I used my night action successfully last night FYI

Didn‘t you claim vanilla a bit later? You mean NVD?

Catching the ups

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 14, 2023 ---

Yh....but sadly I do not have anything to contribute....
Brandish playing his usual self...could be TP
I guess I will trust You and Tatsu for not being mafia..
Tatsu for early passive claim..last time she was mafia, she ddelayed claiming. And you for saying you successfully used your night action

Kinda wishy washy all around if this is your townsplay wojak. Really nobody seeming off to you from last day and this day posts? The trust in Hermit and Tatsu is kinda weird too.

 

[Hermit]

Yes NVD.

 

[GrySun]

Well, sorry if that was my first reaction after we lost an attacking role, a protecting role and a blocking role. Anyway.
I don't think I would have saved James if I was here.
I do wonder what made them go for Sakura. I don't remember seeing any hints she was sitting on a big role.

Why not, did you distrust him? You seemed kinda far too detached and disinterested in the lynch for some reason.

Sakura made more hints than anyone else, could be some old timer who figured out her hints. DD/Faust.

 

[Asako]

And why do u suspect me more than wojak
Doesn't make sense because i claimed first xD

 

[GrySun]

Yes NVD.

Just weird to mention it given the vote post shows who is sick, but ok.

 

[wojak]

I actually thought Hermit had a role not the NVD. With this my trust on him are gone.

I am sus of the passive claims so far. The active claims are dying like flies

 

[Asako]

Damn gry you're still awake?
I expected you to be sleeping especially the fact you didn't appear earlier

 

[GrySun]

Do you believe clown started with sickly?
Isn't that a bit too much
I do believe that clown is among those afk, easiest way to get eventually lynched

I am mostly gonna avoid low hanging fruit if possible, but basing all our thoughts on clown is meaningless. If anything clown is a good ragequit option for us to lynch and surrender if it looks like mafia will win. Kings gonna kingmake.

Was gone most of Saturday, close to bed is best time to read and post by delaying sleep a bit.

I may have missed it but have you shared anything about your night action?
Same goes for @digitaldule @Faust
