    And thanks @Nightingale for hosting, and sorry for the golf puns!

    Mafia 14: Quest for Mafia - So you want to be a Hero?

    GG scum, sorry I couldn't help as much I would have liked (missing two votes is pretty egregious, but in both cases I was otherwise engaged at hammer time)

    Bad luck town, when I saw our powers and game mechanics, I figured things would be tipped in our favour. The hidden action + rolestop combination may be a little broken. That said, we didn't want to use the cursed vig as there ws no guarantee we wouldn't be the victims, especially later game.
    And unlucky Future. Nailing all three remaining mafia members while facing a misyeet is quite the feat.

    Tensions sometimes boiled over in the game, but hopefully we all remember that's all it is in the end.

    So just so I understand correctly, Claws watched Listo last night and saw yourself, BN and Badger visit him. Listo died and we're pretty sure it wasn't poison.
    Remind me whose actions failed/succeeded? I know BN said his action was successful..
    For me, Badger has more town cred, but can't entirely rule him out either.

    And I'll need an updated vote count, I dont want to be accidentally yeeting the wrong person.

    You could be right, but ive been defaulting to standard practices. Because I think to assume the most friendly ratio is to invite overconfidence.

    According to his will, I was his target for N3. Assuming he had a more gold-expensive 'amp power', not unreasonable to imagine he could have had an x2 on any of his actions.

    Two cannibal/janitor kills - I didn't expect that in the game. I presume one is for our 3p. Shame Listo also went as I'd have been cleared.

    In my defence last day phase, Listo revealing having dees happened after I went to bed. I can screenshot if you want. Add in me doing the close-up shift the next day and getting home at 6pm, and the phase had ended (sooner than I would have liked, but reading back I understood)
    And I said what I said about MTR, and I stand by it. I just didn't know Listo had dees at that point.

    1 - Mazer: CWE(958)
    1 - Insaner: Claws(1097)

    Not currently Voting: Dreyski, MTR


    I thought it would be interesting to see who had 2 bad votes. It seems at least a possibility that there is at least one scum in there.

    Future is in a very unique position of starting the Val train (as he ever started a train that wasn't mtr?), and a late hammer on the morri train.

    Insaner is in an early position on both trains.

    Badger is hanging out in the middle. It could be seen as around the tipping point to get Val over, I guess. Again, meta read town.

    Blind Ninja is early morri (which in fairness is pretty much his day 1 default), and in a momentum building moment on Val.

    Tildey came in near the middle of Morri. I read as her as having good questions. She's smart though. I don't know how much the Val lynch was in doubt by the time she voted, with two no-voters and me still having not voted at that point.



    I'm a little worried that I want to town read future, because I felt bad for him being trapped in the Shark cage last game. But it's folly to ignore the tangible events. @MTR and @Tildey, what are your current future reads?
    Click to expand...
    I like this post, mainly becuase most of the work has been done for me. And when reads are difficult, and dees have not been forthcoming, vote patterns usually provide some clarity.
    I've talked before about the speed of the Morrison yeet, and six votes in 11 posts. I've seen something similar in the past scum jumped on a couple of errant votes and railroaded the last couple of day phases almost without competition to victory. As a non playing bystander, it was impressively synchronised. And I believe Tildey was one of the scum players that time.

    Vote: Tildey

    Mafia 14: Quest for Mafia - So you want to be a Hero?

    I asked ChatGPT to try and decipher the code. It went a bit awry, but the final message made me laugh:

    ME: The game is social deduction, the relevant players are CWE and Insaner. CWE wrote a message beginning 'Insaner was' and then 7 2 2 4 3 4 3 5. The numbers relate to the number of letters in each word. What word could each number represent and make a complete sentence?

    CHATGPT: To decipher the message, we can assign each number to a word with that many letters. Here's the breakdown:
    • 7: Insaner
    • 2: was
    • 2: ?? (Need to determine)
    • 4: the
    • 3: ?? (Need to determine)
    • 4: ?? (Need to determine)
    • 3: ?? (Need to determine)
    • 5: ?? (Need to determine)
    Given the context, let's try to fill in the missing words:
    • 2: is likely "on" or "an"
    • 3: could be "red", "our", "top", etc.
    • 4: could be "team", "from", "with", etc.
    • 5: might be "their", "party", "among", etc.
    Now, let's form a sentence:
    "Insaner was on our team with their red party."
    This sentence seems plausible within the context of a social deduction game. However, without additional information or context, it's hard to confirm the accuracy of this interpretation.

    Mafia 14: Quest for Mafia - So you want to be a Hero?

    Well, it's a fair point. Morrison couldn't get yeeted quick enough but for some reason Val's been coasting through and posting very little of substance.

    looking at the writeup, is Nightingale saying our Hero is not contributing in the thread?

    The only thing Amelia would find as I can work out is Shema's power or will (and a will wouldn't make sense given it's N1)

    Not sure what to make of the whole sheriff situation. Didn't put their action in?

    Henry seems like an investigative role - don't know if there's any dees there.

    From my experience, I think 3pups would have entered a mason chat if he'd found whoever was playing Pteresa, but I don't think we'll know until endgame. Unless Pteresa gained extra powers.

    Antwerp - possible 3p?

    Vote: Listo
  42. Dreyski

    Mafia 14: Quest for Mafia - So you want to be a Hero?

    Insaner - feeling much better about him, starting post 167 (less shitposting, more attempting to work things out and engage with different posters. Hope his Russian comment is sarcasm though.

    Xan - nothing of real content, but nothing excessively scummy either, mainly single sentences.

    MTR - I usually have a hard time reading him. post 40 flat out states what he is going to do, but I'm not sure where his final vote lies. Agree with Tildey about him being a little sassy this game. Like him talking about possible game mechanics (post 228)

    ForgottenHold - reads like Xan with a little more content. Says he has a read based off his role and then votes sleep (if it's a town read, why not say it and not say how you got it? If it's a scum read, why not vote that person and then rely on people to join the dots?)

    Tildey - Most comments are about MTR/Future votes, then a brief interaction with Claws. I like post 216, and she appears to be townreading future.

    From that list, towniest first:
    Insaner
    Tildey
    Future
    MTR
    Xan

    I'm wondering if this mechanic means a limited number of ON/EN roles, as it's going to be really frustrating if, for example, only two town actions are not hidden. I might not even bother trying to sheet this game.
