A Game of Crowns (Mafia)

The one game I've been in with Eva she got lynched day 1 as a townie, but she also made it to the Mafia World Championships and so I'm pretty sure what I saw was a bit of an off-game and I'm not sure it's super reliable. Besides, it's not necessarily Pawn's skill that throws me off but his ability to act like the same scummy town leader whatever his role.

Yeah, I was trying new things in advance of the tourney, trying to improve my play; naturally that resulted in some issues.

So, we have 17 players. How many bad guys does that suggest we are likely to have?

Traditionally, 1/4 of the players. So in a game of 17, 4 baddies.

Eh, fuck it. I'm bored.
I'm the Doctor. This is wine.

This was a bad idea when I did it and it's a bad idea now!

Would it be bad civ to suggest people share their roles?
It would force scum to come up with a plausible lie, which might be telling, but the rules say "if you must refer to your role, paraphrase." which suggests the practice is frowned upon.

Well-designed mafia games are built such that D1 massclaim - everyone honestly claiming their real role, except scum - is neutral or even actively harmful to town.

I have faith in the abilities of our GM and the SV mafia chat, so I would not bet on massclaim working.

Yeah, especially the argument "I didn't do that because that's what you would be expecting me to do." Also abbreviated as WIFOM for "Wine in front of me." It's the circular reasoning process that comes from trying to outthink an opponent who's trying to outthink you.

Note that in this scene, the entire question of which cup was poisoned was in fact a distraction: both of them were poisoned.

This is an important lesson regarding wine: if you start thinking about the wine too much, you're probably being distracted from something more important.
 
@Nictis didnt really fully think that post through when I made it. I know it doesn't help for me to say now but I'm not so stupid to just scum slip like that and then immediately bring attention to it by calling it out. You'll just have to take my word for it.

@ Whoever wanted my guesses for scum team: my guesses right now are Dovah/Even/Nictis/Naninami out of completely random number generating.
 
Oh, and as an add-on: There's actually a name for the skill of being able to consistently resolve WIFOM in the right direction: it's called "yomi".

Oh no, not the random numbers!
 
I see this is the sort of thread where if I take a dump and come back, suddenly there is a page or two

Welcome to mafia on SV! I promise it's not usually this insane. Usually.

Okay who am I kidding it usually is.

I don't recognize you either: have you played before?
 
Give me 10 minutes to catch up to some quests, and Ill give my first serious reads when Im done catching up here
 
Whoops, double quoted the same person

I need to move to a computer
 
Oh, and since I haven't played with anyone here in a while (unless you count my D1 ML in Dragonball, I guess...), and thus don't super have meta:

Scum team is TurtleDucks/Mesonoxian/BanTheFairyKing/Nanimani.

Nah, Ban's not with them. Also not me, obviously, I'm not scum. TurtleDucks and Nesonoxian totally are though.
