Re: City Mafia Game Thread
Why do you keep going back and quoting old posts? You are acting very...odd.
Just responding to posts since my last post (#51). The quotes I quoted should all be in post order. I read. I quote. I respond. I keep my posts short so they don't become a wall of text. Will the style of this post be better for you?
I don't think I can fairly answer that last question in a vacuum, I think either one could be scummy depending on the circumstances.
Honest question here. If you don't think of such things in a vacuum, how can you tell if someone doing a particular action is scummy or townie?
Well I guess it just goes to show my infantile understanding of the roles. I see things like "immunity" and think simplistically, "I don't want them to have that." Thanks for the clarification.
I've seen you play before. You don't have an infantile understanding of the roles.
Definite no to both 2 and 17. Pyro actually mentioned one reason he did not pick it was that he got an early pick, which I found to be reasonable. The only picks I think would be reasonable would be around halfway or shortly after.
So if "to keep mafia from taking it" isn't such a good answer for someone picking at #2 or #17, why "completely agree" with the person who brought it up then vote for someone who, at the time, you thought flip-flopped to give that good answer as their own while not mentioning how it isn't such a good answer after all?
Could you explain why you think it is an awful reason? I don't think picking ninja would be a great choice, but I can at least see the reasoning behind trying to prevent mafia from being untrackable/watchable, at least compared to any other reasons that were given before.
By my count, there are at least 19 roles better suited for protection from mafia dirty paws. To pick #20 out of 22 possibilities (exempting masons since no person can prevent mafia from choosing all three mason roles) can only happen with a significant amount of WIFOM, which you note was mentioned by both Pyro and coju before the assist from zemaj.
TLDR one more thought though: Anyone think the "cities" in our roles can prove town vs anti-town?
Would that be too WIFOM for a WIFOM game or just WIFOM enough? I think it's more likely part of the Mystery Box. Maybe some type of "outlive all the players from these cities." Lyncher variant, I think, is the official name. The day start story uses city as a player/role name. I bet each person is from a different city.
Also, I doubt that the cop or the doctor can be mafia. Their town alignment seems to me to be an intrinsic part of their role. Pure conjecture on my part, I'll freely admit.
Mafia choosing doc or cop are some of the
specific examples CG used to describe the game.
Also @Gory I wasnt "going after the SK".
You sure?
Wanna put our heads together for a group think and see what position mighta chosen SK?
You're wondering who ELSE might have chosen SK.
Haven't finished the thread, but wow.... Just wow... I dint even remember when I said in as hypothetically situation that my second to last pick would be ninja just to keep gambor from getting it.
How do you interpret your first sentence of #84? To me, it clearly says that, hypothetically, if you picked ninja with the second to last pick, it would have been to deny mafia a chance to pick ninja. Yes, it's hypothetical, but it also seems to contradict your hypothetical reason of "it's awesome!"
. Although I also said I would have chosen treestump or cop and doc. so I focused on those three as well, but scum points for tunnel vision!
