Mafia Monster Mash Mafia Game Thread (Town Win!)

Ohhhh okay that makes sense

And yeah, I was just thinking through things out loud while rereading and realized it wasn’t necessarily sus following from them since shawo did directly ping them to lead the vote

I still think it’s highly probably one of the two is the maf partner, and i do think it’s possible this was a way to give an out of sorts for following in a town kill to the parter. Why only those two @ed? There was others that hadn’t voted yet.

probably bc we were actively in the thread during the EOD chaos while tessa had pointed out they would be back before eod.

and because betsy and i were in an “omgus” sus war with each other and time was ticking.
 
do you feel like it’s more likely that sidney is maf!shawo’s partner as of this current point in the game or tessa?

i’m having a hard time believing shawo’s current reads because it’s obvious he’s caught between a rock and a hard place with your det claim.

i’ve believed tessa has been predominantly town this whole ass game. i’m absolutely inclined to believe that his 180 on tessa is not bussing his scum mate due to his stance and how he went after trent d1.

he pushed for tessa d2 right out of the gate (before you det claimed and outed him) and i think once shawo flips (red) that it clears tessa more. i don’t think anyone expected shawo to be the target for det after the end of d1, and his tessa flip was another BW on a townie who he thought he could push.

maybe i’m tinfoiling here but i don’t think tessa is sus. she’s been a strong townread from the start for me and i think anyone who super susses her due to shawo’s chaos right now is kinda icky. also, why would shawo push her before he was under the knife? i could understand if he started his push onto her AFTER you claimed det and put his feet to the fire- but it happened before the claim. i cant for the life of me see why he’d push such a strong 180 on her out of the gate just like that if they were scum mates.
There’s not much to say for myself here, and perhaps I shouldn’t say this but I will anyways-

I also don’t think tessa is the maf partner. I wasn’t even expecting shawo to be the person det looked at last night.

Her posts don’t read as suspicious to me, and certainly not to the extent shawo’s actions were…It could be a big act but I’m just not buying it right now.

I think tessa is town and shawo was trying to set up to lead another town bandwagon.

Especially now, looking back at that one post about being unsure. Why would they give that bit of deniability to themselves as an experienced player?
 
like where i’m standing right now if it came down to it- if it was between maf!tessa & maf!sidney. i’d vote sidney. tessa is my strongest townlean- barring sheep as hard cop claim.

if it came between maf!betsy & maf!sidney, i’d probably swing for sidney again because after looking back at betsy’s posts of d1. i think the mafia chat is a tinfoil hat thing and she was a lot less sus d2. way more townleaning her towards eod today.

if it came down to debating between maf!random & maf! any one else i don’t know how it would stand up. because i don’t know and can’t tell if random is legit lazy!town or coasting!maf

I admit I'm kind of stuck on Tessa right now - I firmly believe bussing is not a good strat and I have reason to believe Shawo genuinely was gunning for an approach of eliminate strong towns and sniping cop at night. D1 was proof enough that people will follow him and that his math and meta spew was working. Funny that he's also doing math and meta spew as he's dying - kinda solidifies that he's aware that's where his strengths lie.

I am unfortunately also very paranoid by nature and cannot rule out the fact if someone was to bus it would be Shawo - however I think that depends on if Shawo thought he would get investigated or not.

Why do you propose Sidney specifically?
 
and random still hasn’t brought ANYTHING to the table at this point outside of “IM NOT MAFIA AMA” and it’s infuriating.

sidney for me lies behind mostly process of elimination. which sounds awful, because i don’t think she’s inherently scummy in the sense of gamestyle. but i also know it’s easy to play the inexperience card while you’re being coached through a game by someone with experience.

if it came down to voting someone i’m unsure of verses someone i strong town read, i’m always going to not vote for my townlean. (ex trent townlean vs a no elim) i still to this day believe if we voted no elim and chanced working out the mechanics of it, trent would of be vital for us d2 barring he didn’t get nk’d.

been vital. * sorry on mobile.


basically it boils down to, i wouldn’t vote tessa.

i’d consider voting betsy w/ a super strong argument.

i’d vote sidney/random.
 
How many more elims do we have?
You have two chances to find the remaining wolf after today.

For the record my thoughts on Random have waned a bit over night as I've entered my personal purgatory of trying to make sense of new players.

random hurts me because they play like they have nothing to hide but also don’t put any effort in when asked questions. so it’s both perceived as townie and scummy. if this game had tp in it- their play style is straight up tp. and it’s infuriating as town to see someone not contribute in even the smallest ways.
 
So, only two chances remaining. thank you sheep i suck at math but i thought it was low

What I’m thinking right now, is, doing some work out with the names and knowing my own role; (I hope this makes sense)

If I’m somehow voted off, and tessa is still as strong a town read as today (so likely nk next night, right?)

That would leave tae, betsy, and random on the final day, yeah?


I think regardless of which one of the three is mafia that kind of worries me, at this particular moment

Also, I think random is the most confusing right now. Shawo also defended them to begin with off of nothing, then flip back, then back to defending again. Then defending again this morning. Perhaps the shawo sus is coached distancing?
Random also, iirc, had opposite views of shawo and townread me.

Tae, I’m still iffy about. I’m not a huge fan of the sus on me but when it’s just elimination it’s hard to make a judgement on it. Especially when I agree about tessa probably being town. I do wonder though, tae, did you say why you think it’s not betsy?

and then betsy just worries me for shawo interactions (the others now being mostly null, considering shawo maf)

I think at the moment random would give us the most information

Also, I don’t particularly care if I die if it leads us to the actual mafia. But I don’t think right now it will (ofc we’ll have like. a whole other day cycle before that but)

I don't think it's sidney here. I mean, shawo used 'sidney is maf' to start d1....that's extremely early to bus a partner.

I can tell you reading Random doesn't get better if you've been active in the 2020 tbt maf era as we've had both new towns and wolves who have this style of gameplay. Mafia as a game is deceptive if you're just signing up for it for the fun and don't realize how reading intensive it's gonna get. I can't really fault them for that in all honesty, I personally struggle to keep up sometimes since my timezones leave me reading 4+ pages every morning.

My biggest beef with Random so far really is the very first d2 post. It reads so much as Shawo having told them to find a reason to sus. I did this literal exact show and dance with my maf partner when I was both playing AND wolfing for the first time.

Also like. This is very minor. I think.... Random dropped the word 'coached' in their first post d2. I just... that's a very specific word, one that I do not think anyone in the thread had used at that point... but then the word was used for Shawo so I'm ???

I think it was actually said a few times, but it seems like random wasn’t really reading the threads, either
 
Like I know arguing about word choices is such a nothingburger but... specifically a new person with an experienced partner dropping the word coached when no-one else had.

There had been some talk about maf partner giving instructions but I cannot find an instance of that wording?? If anyone can second check d1 with me for that then PLEASE.

I also will 100% preface this with english ain't my first language, if coached is a really common word for you guys then I can accept that. It's just not one that pops up first for me.

m on mobile so it’s hard for me to specifically check day 1 rn

maf!shawo is also unhinged like that too tho. like during ren mafia he came out the gates acting wild. he’s truly capable of anything from what i know of him.

not saying it’s 100% sidney. i’m just saying as of right now if it came down to sidney up for chop on d3, i’d consider her for the vote over some other people. i’ve got to re-read a lot but i work soon and will be gone for EOD. but wanted to pick sheep’s brain more because we all know once shawo flips red sheep’s the nk. :/ (thank you for ur sacrifice, please don’t leave us.)

Hey I thought my points had merit at the time, lol.

Looking back at it, trent going for a quiet, lazy no elim day was, to me...sus. Tae defending that sort of sus play/player I think extended my sus to them.

Shawo pushing for elim d1 is typical from the only game I've seen them in, and typical of a lot of players pushing for info, so I didn't think it was all that sus.

But knowing shawo is maf, and willing to flip d1 to vote tae....seems less likely for tae to be the partner.

I'm leaning toward random, with tessa an unlikely but possible only due to poe.

Although I dunno if Shawo would use the word 'coach/coached' in a private message to Random??? I just don't know. The thing bothers me but I could be off the mark.

I wouldn't feel comfortable with that at this time. I would vote random over sidney. But I get shawo maf = unhinged.

so is poe for tessa based solely on shawo’s stance on her?
