Mafia The Quest for King - Mafia | Game Thread | GAME OVER

I'll throw my hat into the ring if anyone wants a guarantee that a shot will be fired. I'm not afraid to make waves (evidently!).
 
Oath has expressed very much not wanting to be king, so I think his actions would be pure and not selfishly driven
ohhh ok.
k maybe i'm tinfoiling but is it possible this is a maf tactic?

I would not elect someone I think could be mafia. Intentionally giving mafia the only kill town can perform sounds like a bad play. I think it would be even worse to do this past D1
d1 is really the only day we can vote someone truly null. the numbers for town will not work out otherwise

i’m sorry i might have to drop out coz i’ve been too busy irl to do much here :’)


what do you mean by this? like kill them with king power or vote them for king?

as for electing a king i think i’ve settled on trent the paladin for having unique positions on the game. again i’ve only skimmed a bit on what ive missed so if someone could update me if there was anything important that would be appreciated.
pls change your mind trent is not a good choice. do you think no kp will benefit the game?
Let's run the numbers for the worst case scenario. Assuming the king kills town each time and mafia successfully kills another person (no doctor, and king and mafia don't target the same person) here's how many miskills we have.

11 Town:3 Mafia-

D1 11:3
D2 9:3
D3 7:3
D4 5:3
D5 3:3 - Lose

With 3 mafia, town loses if they fail to hit mafia D4.

10 Town:4 Mafia-
D1 10:4
D2 8:4
D3: 6: 4
D4 4:4

With 4 mafia, town loses if they fail to hit mafia D3.

I think balance wise there would be 3 mafia. Given that mafia can get control over the king kill, I think 4 chances are better than 3
man either way this is gonna be a looong game...
but yeah. i do think we shouldn't fully bet on either though because its a closed setup which allows for a lot of meddling on trundlers part.
but anyways a game mechanics post like this strikes me as town. i love sheeping you so i keep trying to find flaws in your game but you're too good 😭

im continuing my campaign for king:
why you should vote for me!
-power to the people. i think it's in towns best interest to discuss who we want to take down together, just like a regular elim. leaving it up to just one person doesn't allow for ideas to bounce off of one another. and voting someone for king just to see what they'll do doesn't really get us anywhere, because a miskill could be town that we then tunnel, a mafkill could mean a double kill bc we didn't discuss, and either is kind of confusing for all of us. i think the cons outweigh the pros in this. we can't really afford to give mafia two kills. plus i have bad judgement so i wanna talk it through everyobe

- i wont kill an ia. as much as i would love to take down geoni and be right about it... i'm all for giving them a chance to speak. i think whoever becomes king should be very careful to not target someone who seems suspicious because of lack of substance. its a poor move in my opinion.

if we can follow these ideas with another person as king, thats also good! it doesn't matter who is king if we as a towncore are able to decide things together. it then puts mafia in the worst spot they could be if they're king- having to listen to the town.
 
If you vote me for King, I can guarantee you and I would become besties. Want to be part of my inner circle alliance?
honestly this seems a lil weird to me since it's directed specifically at shiny, maybe a bit pockety, but at the same time I think persuading someone to vote them as king at the start of day 1 is kinda ballsy play for a wolf so meh
 
Could you consider voting for me?
Would you be shocked if I said I’m kind of on board with Oath?

Hey Jacob. Wanna be friends :lemon:

I agree about not killing Geoni since that slot is completely null but how do you feel about Gabby
 
Yeah, I agree. I already made my stance clear on what I would do if I was king, but I need to know the other's stances.

Why are you already trying to give yourself a bias by targeting me, a newbie?

And the most insane person comes in, hi.
shiny feels towny for this imo, I had the same thought that ness could potentially be pocketing there and i think recognising that possibility is more likely to come from town perspective
 
Would you be shocked if I said I’m kind of on board with Oath?
that sounds kind of rude tho, didn't they say they didn't want to be king?
I would I could crown Oath, Tess or Ness. Tessa I think is just town and I think Ness is probably town but I'm still stewing on the Chris theory
yea i agree with crowning tessa or ness
umm i'm gonna vote tessa rn but will maybe change it later
 
I agree about not killing Geoni since that slot is completely null but how do you feel about Gabby
still null enough that she deserves a chance. idk i just always think theres more viable options than the mostly ia people. we know theres probably at least 3 maf and two very ia people, if worst comes to worst snd they both flip mafia theres still one other amongst the talkers. so why dont we hunt for them instead?
 
I hope Geoni is like, physically alive this is unlike him

@Damniel you really wanna be king?

I don't think it's rude. we all signed up knowing we could be made king. Nothing personal

fr though dont be afraid to put people in tough situations regardless of politeness and stuff. we gotta win

meh i dont want to vote someone who isnt down for policy chop
 
just kinda general thoughts on shiny's posts in first 3 pages of the thread, they strike me as honest to a tea in terms of how they describe their playstyle and also in terms of their thoughts on trent and volt being mafia-y feels to-the-point, typically a playstyle i associate with town tbh

volt considering shiny's reason for mafiareading them as valid feels almost "too mafia-y to be mafia" tbh lol, in general i find it kinda towny when people accept their potential faults like that because it gives the person making the read a reason to push further; subconsciously i think town cares a less about that than mafia would
 
still null enough that she deserves a chance. idk i just always think theres more viable options than the mostly ia people. we know theres probably at least 3 maf and two very ia people, if worst comes to worst snd they both flip mafia theres still one other amongst the talkers. so why dont we hunt for them instead?
idk Gabby has had time and unless they change D2 I think it'll just be a slot we'll always wonder about. I don't think its a bad idea to get it over with early game and move on. low hanging fruit are always an issue

I am considering voting Ness but that probably means he kills Chris and I would have to be okay with that. Still trying to get a proper read for them bc Ness's read has faulty points but some reasonable ones
 
i have volt, tessa, ness, trent and ribbit as townleans so i'm ok with crowning anyone in that group or crowning anyone who won't kill in that group

tessa is also offering to take other people's opinions into consideration which makes voting her feel more comfortable, bc it's more like a standard vote

i don't really have more thoughts besides those, i'm personally fine with policying geoni but i get why people wouldn't want to do that
 
btw i have a good read on my homesite for annika in turbos (basically very short time length games) so I think I may be able to read her decently here, but I'm not as confident in doing it in normal length games tbh (i was v uncertain on her alignment in a longer length game we had recently on mafia universe lol but eventually ended up reading correctly)

ill give my thoughts on her as i go through
