Short Stories Mafia Game Thread

[pistachi0n]

Yeah. My vote counts for whoever's win condition is least compatible with town whether or not there's a tie. If there is a tie, I can use it to break the tie, but if there isn't, it's a weak investigative vote.

vote Yadal

It seems pretty weird to me that Yadal would just tell us that he was scum. Part of my suspects that this is part of some kind of weird plan (I know that pistachi0n's win condition last game was to die. Maybe something similar?) but I think it was probably just a really bad mistake. If it was a mistake, I feel like it's a pretty good indication that the mafia are not coordinated. If Yadal did have access to daychat or something similar, I imagine that would have tipped him off that he was scum. I guess that makes sense. I'm not sure one could coordinate with a klaon or why a bunch of villains from different stories would want to coordinate.

[pistachi0n]

He was probably a different faction. Both previous games had more than one scum faction.

I agree with BSS that PDV is likely Independent, not Mafia. However, all non-Town factions are scum and therefore must be put to death. This was your misstep, Yadal - us having been town-reading you doesn't mean anything once you out yourself as non-Town. We must play to our wincons and that means that we have to kill you. And since you let on that you're a jumper, we can't even put off killing you like we probably would for a neutral faction member we could keep better track of. If you wanted us to have that info but not have us kill you before you jump, you should have posted it right under the wire at today's end. Anyway, you are now the most pressing threat, so

Vote Yadal

pistachi0n, I think your idea to soft-investigate PDV is a good one. Let's see how it pans out.

I'm going to be on a plane for most of today sidereal (I'm on my phone on the way to the airport as I post this), but I should be back before the end of the Day.

Early notice that I will be gone all of Saturday because offline thing.

(happy offline thing that i’m attending but saying what specifically would identify what country i’m in, so no.)

[pistachi0n]

Happy offline thing, Shoal!

[Shoal]

thanks!

Also...it's probably too late to say this, but quoting role PMs is against the rules no matter what faction you're in.

[Tamien]

pistachi0n, that was the case in the past, but iirc the first post in the out of game thread says otherwise for this game. It just discourages picking apart writing style, I think.

[Alicorn]

You may quote your PMs if you really want to. The point of the original rule against it was to avoid convincingly claiming towniehood by having access to the exact text of Town's win condition, which is now posted in the clear in the OOC thread.
