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

[N e s s]

Hello there, what is your stance on


This also applies to @oath2order and @N e s s

Tbh I’d probably trust my own judgement more, but if people were making valid points about who the elimination should be I wouldn’t ignore that

'Ello, 'ello, hola! Ciao and Bonjour! Question for the voice in the sky, one which I don't fully expect an answer from: If a protective type role is in the game, can they theoretically prevent the king kill?

The King kill behaves the same as any other type of kill.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Don't make me king so we don't have to answer that.

jk seriously though it's situational: If the King is like, a detective or something and investigated someone the night prior and found them to be town, and then the majority wanted to kill them the next day, I'd say the King should trust their judgement on that.

I mean if I remember past kingmaker games you played in, that's not part of my plan!

Removing the investigative scenario and focusing purely on day one, what would make a more appealing king though?

imo we should select a king who will pick their own kill. that'll give us more reads for tomorrow. if we elect a mafia into power who picks a kill everybody told them to pick, that won't tell us much.

If we went into Night One with someone who signaled their intent to vote for the whims of the people, does that make them fully wolfish in your eyes? For example Dan's post here:

Without any prior deaths, most sus reads day one are weak and subject to change. I think day one is a great day to build a town core and get a collaborative effort going. Picking the most trustworthy person to go with a majority vote is an okay strategy for day one I think. After that people should have more solidified reads and their motivations would be more apparent.

If say the majority agreed to this, would that make the Day One King red in your eyes?

 

[tessa grace]

mfw i DIDNT get pinged for some reason so glad i checked hehe AND THEN I POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG THREAD the site hates me for being ia for 6 months

anyways i'll catch up and intro soon, i am out of town but i'll try my best to stay active. tomorrow will be my busiest day (but idk if thats night or not? i needa check the cycles) but i'll try my best to be active

also idk how to ask mod questions i didnt read the rules yet but are king kills announced that it was the king or is it just like "someone died by we dont know who" bc thats very important

I suppose for day one, I'm attracted to the meme of it all and having the king vote for whomever they want.

god damn it's been two hours!!
reading up, everyone shut up while I do please and thank you

 

[tessa grace]

Why? Too much pressure for you?

damniel's been thirsty for another game and it shows lmao

historical Trent always pushes no elimination but I am always in favor of early bloodshed so that’s a no from me

but does no king worldview = no elimination worldview imo they're very different things to vote on
if anything this is good bc my bloodshed agenda is finally getting to trent

This begs the question on if we should vote a king who will attack the player the majority thinks should go, or just trust their own judgement

Important question on the moral obligation the king has

which is why we shouldn't pick universal trs to be king. picking someone indecisive gives us alot more info imo

If you vote me for King, I can guarantee you and I would become besties. Want to be part of my inner circle alliance?

yes

I couldn't think of a fitting word, so that's why. As for wolf-catching, I prefer to observe from the sidelines and take note of any and all possible evidence.

sounds like an easy out from actually wolfhunting

as somebody who strongly pushes wolfreads d1 i actually agree. this is me realizing that behavior is why i always lose with town lmao

i still think we should choose king from someone iffy though it would be funny (we can afford mistakes early on, they would actually prove useful??)

Fair enough! One more question for now, if you had to choose anyone as mafia right now, who would it be?

too soon cmon just pocket me first

imo we should select a king who will pick their own kill. that'll give us more reads for tomorrow. if we elect a mafia into power who picks a kill everybody told them to pick, that won't tell us much.

yes but also group discussion for a kill is super important bc if we vote mafia and they kill some townie and they're like "oh we didnt discuss anyone at all as a group first so i went with my gut and i was wrong" then we failed and got no info
we'd be banking off of only one person's read and no

The King kill behaves the same as any other type of kill.

im confused can we block it or not also who brought up prs already

also can i be king i wanna put everyones names in a spinny wheel

 

[Arstotzkan]

Stuff that would constitute as Evidence for me is stuff that would seem generally ooc for anyone. I also would count instantly going along with what someone says without thinking as evidence against someone. Stuff along those lines.

I'll be so honest I don't think anyone's going to get an OOC anything, considering its been like years? since we've played last? Relying on old meta is a massive blunder

Why is my method of mafia finding an easy out?

 

[Arstotzkan]

tessa and shiny failed the shut up test

if it were up to me, King would vote without town guidance yeah. A collective vote that king sheeps does have more town voices in it than mafia, but we also gotta remember that mafia could have protective/bussing/ect **** on their side of the equation. If we spell out our **** too blatantly they can and will use it to their advantage.

If anything I'm anti-bloodshed day one! Do not confuse me with Dan, someone advocating for shoving someone down the mountain! After day one, then the pock knife comes out!

Me I want to think on potentials.

This is truly an Among Us stream lobby

Why is my method of mafia finding an easy out?

The quiet ones tend to hinder

You, mister paladin, pick a god and pray. I, a godless ginger, pick my wins and wear them on my fuzzy royal cape

"i wont contribute cos i work alone" typa vibes

 

[N e s s]

In the spirit of old friends, I have voted Kat (Arstotzkan) to be king. She’s always trustworthy and has never steered me wrong.

 

[ShinyDungeoneer]

"i wont contribute cos i work alone" typa vibes

But I said I would still contribute

 

[Arstotzkan]

ok but genuinely on kill vs no kill day one, ik a huge part of the meta in buckshot roulette is falling on the right parity and proceeding from there (you always want to be on the odd numbered round). That could be a good way of determining if we want to kill or no kill? If we assume 1KP from the evils?

Basically, yeah. No bias makes the evidence more likely to help others.

 

[Arstotzkan]

What would unbiased evidence look like?

 

[tessa grace]

Basically, yeah. No bias makes the evidence more likely to help others.

i hate to break it to you but idk how you're gonna get unbiased opinions when the whole thread will be full of people with biased opinions
