Digital Mafia - TOWN WINS

rip

anyone get any nightly PMs or visits?

I didn't get anything.

I guess Meta got roleblocked like HolyPie did on Night 1.

Not necessarily. We have the roleblocked word from when Holypie was blocked, but she didn't quote it.

oh yea soo this morning i was bored so i put this whole game on my bedroom wall like some creepy stalker. anyway i decided to compare this game to the last, just to get a feel of yall. faonkarino; you in both this and last game are chock full of knowledge. and u were on the baddie side that time. maybe u are this time too. i gotz my stink eye on u

I keep a notebook for mafia games :3

As for referring to the previous game, haven't we already condemned meta-gaming? Faon shouldn't be condemned on the basis that he was helpful and mafia last game unless you have more conclusive evidence. I've referred to the past game in my theory crafting but I refer to the tactics only, not the people who did them and you should do likewise.

That's a good point, has he done anything scummy that has stoop out to you particularly? Then again, it would have probably be equally suspicious if he didn't do anything instead or made worthless posts. Seems to be more of his playstyle just like Luv has his own. Guess we have to be careful, suspecting people for posting knowledge could be a road to go down but it could be dangerous if we suspect everyone that posts well... Kyrastri has also made some really great and detailed posts, but I'm pretty sure she is a townie since we know her power and it doesn't seem too bad yet. Guess its something to keep in mind if we don't have something else to go one. But remember, as TheBirds said, we probably should not be playing a meta-game. He posted similarly to last game too but he had an explanation somewhere why meta-game was bad.

Polantaris made the explanation why meta-gaming was bad.

This is why Im split. If the mafia killed maspan despite his restriction they either:
A. Have a mafia cop
B. Just guessed he had a restriction because he had a good power, therefore a reasonable threat despite the restriction

Option A is by far the least likely so lets go from there. Option B means the the mafia just killed him assuming he had a power that needed a restriction. This means that they probably think the same thing about meta, and therefore used an ability on him (potentially a role block)

However Meta has a history of making really high risk high reward plays and this would definitely be one of them, show to have a restriction then pretend to get role blocked to prove innocence and not have to post much and incriminate herself. It would be a very classic high risk high reward move.

Thoughts?

The Shidoshi theories still apply to MasPan, though the likelihood of a more specific role cop (as traditionally role cops only give town/not town alignment information and are more useful in identifying neutrals) is much higher now that we have the second critical role killed. It is likely that the role identifier is a day action if Shidoshi had a shifty death rather than a more random one.

I feel like Meta is lying about having no power, from what we have seen so far pretty much everyone has a power. The only reasons she would keep quiet about it is she can not reveal her power, weather because it would get her killed by the mafia or because it would reveal she is mafia I don't know.

As TheBirds pointed out, she could simply have a day action.

Day action or not, Meta should still be considered somewhat suspicious (but not a priority) until we can find a way to get her to talk a little more normally, since revealing results would be difficult if she had a day action even if she wanted to reveal. It's possible that our entire chance of helping her was ruined when Shidoshi died.

We have no confirmation of whether day actions all do good, either.

I meant I kinda knew what his PM gonna say.

For someone who was trying not to say anything about their actions that wasn't very subtle.
