Effulgence Mafia Game Thread

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

If so -- DanielH -- who were you substituting for that night? And more to the point... why were you doing so?
Unless the mods are dedicated enough to add a fake coordination channel and DanielH felt compelled to claim to be the Chelsea in that channel, no.

Let the killers keep killing people outside the cult/friend circle, lynch outsiders, that sort of thing.

I was subbing for Ozy. I thought they were likely to be targeted by things after roleclaiming.

I am tired. I was about to go to bed when I saw this post. I will cryptofairy and further defend myself after sleep. Please don’t take my silence as incriminating until then.

Oh.

Wait, how did you get access to the coordination channel? And which coordination channel, Chelsea's?

But yeah. Hey guys? Let's kill DanielH. I am actually kinda in-real-life terrified of Chelsea. We can always kill Alpha after if he's lying.

I am pretty okay with letting Chelsea mind rape me if it means I get a coordination channel of people who are guaranteed to be on my side.

Unfortunately, this is not evidence either way, but I also am IRL terrified of Chelsea.

Maybe if I say “I’m going to bed” often enough it’ll be true.

...wait, doesn't this mean WE CAN LITERALLY ALL WIN THE GAME if we let Chelsea use her power on each of us in turn? What are the downsides here? Am I misunderstanding what alphabeta means by "plus any existing survival-based ones"?

ETA: I am also terrified of Chelsea, and if we were actually supposed to RP our characters I am pretty sure no one would want to do this. But since we were instructed not to do that and instead are supposed to play to win, this is a serious proposal.

...I'm not actually sure. Actually. That... does seem like it would cause everyone to win. And it would go twice as fast if we let Alpha take Chelsea's power and mindrape us. Except then we all end up thralls to Chelsea and is that really how we want to end this game?

Also likely there's a person or two immune to Chelsea that we'd have to kill off.

Alphabeta, I'm not sure you're telling the truth. You were originally very suspicious of DanielH, and then you revealed you had a power that told you he was "proabably innocent" and now you say you know he's Chelsea.

You admitted that you knew all along he was Chelsea and didn't tell us because you were greedy. I'm not going to cast a vote this early in the new day but I don't trust you at all.

You must play toward your current win condition. In games containing alignment-changing powers, you are to have no sympathy with any future enemy versions of yourself. Fuck those guys.
