Games Mafia Game 116 - Ghiblification - End Game

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.​

Updating Sam's list as we go.
1. Asako - Vanilla Claim (#21)
2. Baka - Active, had it not too long ago (#25)
3. Tatsu - Passive (#26)
4. James - Active (#28)
5. Faust - Active (#43)
6. Sirsamuel016 - Active (#50)
7. Farfalla - Passive (#56)
8. digitaldude - Active (#58)

but then even if she'd do the "trying to get us to lynch her by making mistakes", that to me sounds like a mafia scheme to get ppl to be reluctant to not vote her for as long as possible hoping she'd die. though ofc that will only work until real clown actually explodes on his deadline if we get that far and then she's exposed as possible scum.

Not sure I understood this part.

The other part is clear tho.

 

[Faust]

Any hints on your role Tatsu?

 

[Tatsumaki]

Other than the passive hint ? I'd say it's not necessary for now.

I was going to vote Asako for the same reason as James…as I find the vanilla claim sus.

But that’s gonna advance the already bandwagon on her. Gonna wait before voting, I guess.

Don’t have anyone I have a hunch on yet.

 

[Farfalla]

Hm even tho you're vanilla yourself? Why?

 

[GrySun]

active role desu.

hbu mr. no face?

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 13, 2023, Original Post Date: Oct 13, 2023 ---

vote kill brandish

Active role as well.

 

[wojak]

Hm even tho you're vanilla yourself? Why?

Thats why. There cannot be too many, I think

But it’s day 1. And don’t have any info to go with other than random hunch

 

[GrySun]

Day ends in 6 hours, and I should be heading to sleep now. Won‘t be there at day end.

Day looks to be mostly claims and small talk, nothing too extraordinary. Asako‘s sole vanilla claim is rather curious but I‘d like to say it looks like a town Asako thing to do atm.

Oh wojak is also vanilla, hm. Last game he was too, but I forgot how he approached it, if he revealed it earlier than near end D1

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 13, 2023 ---

I‘m fine with petty-lynching James so will leave it there.

Did last game have a noticeable number of vanillas?

 

[GrySun]

Did last game have a noticeable number of vanillas?

Yes I included a bunch, not because of mechanics but to make it less role heavy, put focus more on lynches.

 

[Farfalla]

Nem just checked it

Thats why. There cannot be too many, I think

You just played a game that had 3/13 vanillas (or more, if I didnt miscount while skimming)

 

[GrySun]

last game lineup was 4, with 1 being troll traitor, fwiw.

--- Double Post Merged, Oct 13, 2023, Original Post Date: Oct 13, 2023 ---

And no he was not vanilla last game, seems I‘m not in best shape and should sleep.

 

[digitaldude]

Would the clown claim a vanilla to avoid night kills? might be the only day where it's safe to lynch vanillas

 

[Faust]

Did anyone else claimed vanilla except Asachild?

 

[Farfalla]

Would the clown claim a vanilla to avoid night kills? might be the only day where it's safe to lynch vanillas

Dunno. That doesnt remove night kills since mafia can look for sleepers and it doesnt rly serve a "getting lynched on D2 onwards" plan. I mean, you can still get lynched in spite of your claim but as a deliberated early plan Im failing to see the connection.

 

[Erinyes]

yo guys i just came back from work, allow me to grab something to eat and i come and catch up !

 

[Asako]

Hm, I think I gonna votekill Asako.

Townie Vanilla in a 14 player game, where we got mafia and TP to look out for as well as see that traitor got updated, feels pretty weak. Like the chances of her being traitor or the new Clown role who bets on getting a bye due role reveal day 1, even if it is just vanilla, to then die later in-game by making "mistakes" to get us to vote for her.
Plus if Asako is telling the truth then she shouldn't have revealed and instead act as if she is important to have Mafia waste a kill action on her. All that reveal did is reduce night targets for Mafia, so not very helpful in my book.

Bro what are you smoking
You want me to fake a role and then screw up townie later on with what ever fake i claim ?
The way i see it vanilla should claim that they vanilla fast and not late game as that extremely sus as that when mafia have a clear view of what roles there is in game so they know what goes with the game to fake claim
That's why the earlier the better when you're townie, plus you need to avoid as townie getting mislynched because you claim vanilla late
So why sit on your claim, claim it as soon as possible for the majority
I won't fake claim an other role when im vanilla unless i have a role that is worth baiting with (bomb/ bp etc...)
Don't make choas when it's unnecessary


Plus you shouldn't want to be killed as vanilla, in case you're sleeper
