Short Stories Mafia Game Thread

Not the kind with cardstock and pawns. Mostly play by post Mafia so far.

tbh The frequency with which I talk has very little to do with whether I'm town or scum. I didn't talk a lot near the end of the last game for a couple of days but I was town. How much I post comes down to game independent factors like whether I feel motivated to do things in general and whether I get distracted by something else. Posting more is still better of course so I'll try to pick it up.

I doubt there's a fairy scumteam without The Queen but that doesn't mean there aren't any other solo fairies still alive. We know that The Queen isn't the only character from the fairy stories in this (Visitor has died as well) and it seem plausible to me that there are more than two. If there is a fairy around with vassaling powers letting them find out somebody's name would be disastrous. It's possible I'm being overly paranoid but I'd urge everyone to think carefully before revealing their name.

Also, the analysis on wolffreak567 is reasonable, though I'm inclined to be sympathetic to claims of irl interference. I'll give her 35% scumminess.

I'd be more sympathetic to these arguments if you would actually put forwards some opinions on people, instead of only contributing strategy discussion when you do appear.

(As for 'more fairies' - yeah, I understand that the risk still exists, but with the Queen dead it feels much less dangerous to me. It's of course PDV's descision whether they want to fullclaim.)

In Alicorn's previous mafia games, Paradox was town once and a killer once, and both times they had about the same level of activity they have in this game. So I was viewing their lack of posting as null.

Before the previous post, I was mildly suspicious of BlueSkySprite. She's acting differently than she was in the past two games, however, that may just be because she has an internship and is more busy now.

I'll vote Paradox now, but if Paradox gets lynched and flips town, BSS is next. I'm also going to do a test vote on somebody else after I vote for Paradox, but I haven't decided who yet. If my vote gets counted for Paradox at the end of the day, I have successfully proven my power and we'll know the second person isn't a big threat. If my vote gets counted for the second person, then I know they're scum but you guys will be more suspicious of me. So I haven't decided whether my test vote should be someone I think is town or someone else I think is scum.

Vote Paradox

I'm beginning to think that I'm not actually active enough in this game so far so it has become difficult for me to make decisions about who I find suspicious and why. However, I want to see how this game plays out and quite enjoy participating when I can. If this were not the case, I would have asked for Alicorn to find someone to take my place. At this point, I would rather be lynched or killed than be replaced so I would like to request that you don't let me survive to see day 3. I don't care how I die, just make sure that you are all prepared to face the consequences of those actions.

I'm probably not in the right state of mind for this decision but I really don't feel like I can be a decent team player at this point so please just kill me before day 3. As an alternative, is there a way to suicide in this game?

You can't participate if you're dead, so why not ask for a replacement come day 3 if you're still alive, rather than *trying* to die?

Anthusiasm is on standby to replace anyone who wants replacement.

If you have information, please, share it with the class!

(Also, seconding Pistachi0n's assessment re: lynches, if you can explain why Paradox is almost certainly scum.)
