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

    That was not my intention.

    I could be wrong, but in my view, you were underselling yourself and taking suss personally.

    You might feel you are not to that level. I feel like you have pulled enough big wins over the years, that people will be reserved. You did bring me up on failing to read you correctly. I felt I was telling you why. Game aside, it would have felt wrong not to ignore you talking about me.

    After he man, I complimented you pulling the deprecation card to work me over. I felt bad there, and wouldnt get burned again. Been truthful there.

    I did consider you might be the purple or mystery yellow, but for most of the game that didn't feel right, because of your emotion. When people asked why i read you, i answered honestly. I don't predict you doing the "mazer is this and that" again. And that was not a serial killer or whatever response. Even with that, there was a day where I started to tinfoil frustrated 3rd party. Because you could pull it off.

    If most other people are in a fight, I would have been ok with seeing them become ingrained against the other, or just gotten annoyed. I obviously should have just stayed out of it.

    Obviously, my intention was not something that conveyed well in a randomly assigned mafia game. I thought I could break character and it would be good. It was not.

    So one more big misread for mazer.

    It won't happen again. Claws can have free reign.

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

    That is all very good and I give you a hearty handshake…

    But as much as you said I might have been scum and the speech you gave me when I was pissed about being pre-judged…Badger will not forget this!
    In fairness, me not wanting you and claws telling each other to fuck off and having matthieu's being a dick come up.... was not about this game.

    The personal insult stuff is getting a little too consistent for me.

    The remaining players:

    Xanjori as Antwerp

    Claws as Pteresa
    Tildey as Otto Von Goon
    What were their roles?

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

    honestly I’m shocked that I actually got the entire scum team in my final POE
    Good reads. I know the results have been tough, but I feel like you've leveled up recently.

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

    Ohhh dangerous statement @Mazer My heart is damaged and yes you got the win knowing full well I was town and struggling with emotions. Just going to say well done sir but expect an RKO…
    I thought you were good after day 1. I have long been on record on saying I don't like to see the frustrated, mad card on here.

    And as I said, it's not fair to get mad when people suss people early. I've had the last however many games as town and claws, 3pups, etc will ALWAYS vote me early. Me saying it can be frustrating is genuine. My comments to you day 1 were genuine.

    I never asked anyone to give me any read based on anything than gameplay. The post you quote is true. You played well that game, and made several self deprecating posts that genuinely made me not feel great about winning a vote. To the point of me posting hbk/flair gifs. I didn't understand that me mentioning that would trigger something. I did have to have real.explanation when people were asking me about you. And I responded to them in a true way. I did not intend for it to come across differently.

    Ive been pretty consistent in how I've discussed people playing the "real life" card to get votes. If frustration comes out happens, but making people feel down to win us not something I like.

    It's why I put down rock, even though he was town, two games ago.

    In playing I was saying things that were true, when asked or one time when things got heated. And that was an honest attempt at deescalation, as things had gotten personal between you and claws.

    I had no intent otherwise, and apologize if it was received differently .

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

    Tildey, why did you vote BN?

    BN who would you not consider voting today?

    Mazer, would you vote for Badger?
    No I would not vote badger. He's like my number 2 town.

    On a separate note, I went through every mtr post and bote, and laid it all out. Andv he best I get back is "my gut says" or "it seems too easy".

    but it's fine.
  8. Mazer

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

    The only think tht bothers me is future ildid nothing til on defense while bn has been sussy most game but around at least
    They both have bad records. I just have some explanation for blind ninja. If future dies and is town, my legacy read is kill blind ninja tomorrow. If he's scum, look at tildey, and the rest of the counter train, obviously.

    Future, explanation wise, I'm stuck with either "he's doing too poor" or "not doing well enough?"
  9. Mazer

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

    Point to it for me
    You did your poe.

    Earlier you were suss of badger. I asked if you were confident town in both them now?
  10. Mazer

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

    Yes, where do you wanna go?

    Im at the point where I feela miss isnt the worst thing ever.

    If we flip v!Future it locks in Mazer/BN?

    If we flip v!BN it locks in future Tildey?

    Hmm I forgot Drey is in the game

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

    Psycho did some coaching last game. It sounded unnatural and didn’t help deter Foxxi, Mazer, or BN away from me
    In fairness, that set up could not have been fun for you.

    I legitimately felt bad
  14. Mazer

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

    this was the first night that we had two kills.
    If he's scum does that mean we misread the kills?
  15. Mazer

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

    You're all clear for tildey and off your previous suss of badger then?

    In all honesty, I don't hate the list. I feel pretty good about my poe. But today might tell us something about dreyski too.

    And the flair for the dramatic is fun. I did talk people out of falling for the listo tinfoil on mtr, but things like that should never get in the way of a dramatic swan song.

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

    I wont lie, Ive currently comatose and while reading Im not really absorbing anything.

    I wont lie the thought of flipping you to help resolve D1 is biasing me, but then if you flip V it doesnt really tell us much
    If he flips v, guns of navarrone at bn.
  17. Mazer

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

    You specifically asked me my thoughts on a specific post and I gave it. I hardly think that’s the same thing as MTR trying to clear Future and then pairing the two of them together.


    I was pretty clear that I am open to calculations from more experienced players since I’ve never modded. But I was using the 30% guide I’d seen them talk about, fwiw. That’s why I was debating between 3 scum/1 SK or 4 scum/1 SK. 30% of 15 is 4.5. Rounding down is 4 hostile to town, rounding up is 5 hostile to town.
    In fairness, I wasn't trying to say it was the same thing. It's more of the general change in reads. I saw earlier it seemed you were very open to my interpretation of mtr. And it did read ax him kind of focusing specifically on you vs. Claws.

    And it was interesting, because it's an argument I've never seen before. Maybe it's a curiosity. But it definitely stood out.

    I can definitely understand the blind ninja concern. He's next up for me. If I had a vig shot, one of them would already be dead, and we'd be scanning the other. It's more the absence of future concern that surprises .d.

    If I've misread and you are less defensive of future than I understood, maybe I misread. But I feel like there was a move away from him as a top poe recently.

    Mazer would also recommend the course.

    Definitely not free either
  19. Mazer

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

    I think you’re looking for something that isn’t there by digging up MTR’s grave. MTR and I when we are scum or cornered will just parrot other people’s reads because we can’t come up with our own. MTR was trying to look towny by defending what was considered a popular town read. Theres nothing more to it

    The "digging up mtr's grave" bothers me. I should ignore what a dead scum says?

    Particularly when he was still trying to live.

    I dunno man.
  20. Mazer

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

    I think BN has more red flags than I do
    Fair enough. So, you think tildey is wrong about amount?

    I've listed out what I see as problematic on you and blind ninja from all the votes and like 72 hours of all mtr's posts. I've been very transparent on why I'm concerned with what seems to be right in front of me.

    Did I miss red flags ?
  21. Mazer

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

    I’ll have a think about it. Meanwhile I hand the microphone to @Mazer now that everyone has answered.
    It reads as tmi. We've played dozens of games now, and I've never seen someone read order of operations read into a watcher target.

    Future came in with "we all failed" and had a specific interpretation.

    I'm also a little thrown off that tildey seemed amenable to my read that mtr had an agenda, but is now explaining future's post readings for him and hard defense.

    I'm also not sold thar we have a total of 4 out of 15 as non town. Foxxi is obsessive with planning. And while I can't rule out the possibility that it's right, it would be in contrast to all the discussions on game building, particularly if the 3rd party has a kill action.

    Basically, I feel like we're being irresponsible loose. Like void in Ghostbusters refusing to take the highest shot until I had to beg him as a stump.


    If future is dirty, it's not a good look for tildey. If he's clean, maybe the ratio is lower, and blind ninja is likely next up.
  22. Mazer

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

    He was quoting me but I think he misunderstood my post. I was trying to be clear that I was listing the visitors in the order that Claws gave them but that I didn’t know if the order Claws used was relevant (in my head the rest of that thought was “to Claws” but I understand why it was read differently).
    I guess that's an interesting perspective.
  23. Mazer

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

    @Badger and @Mazer while we’re waiting, thoughts on my earlier musings regarding how many bad guys we’re hunting?
    I've never talked to.foxxi about it. But she and void talk. Role madness was typically assumed to be about a 30% non town ratio in our conversations.

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

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

    @Badger, but I'm thinking we may be aligned. It's a gift we sometimes have.

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

    @Dreyski @Xanjori

    What’s your guys take as well?
    I'd love to get from blind ninja and tildey before I give mine.

    There's a trend between this and another point that I want to make sure isn't only in my head.

    The answer seems so obvious that I'm not sure if I'm getting blinders or seeing deflection.
  26. Mazer

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

    I believe Claws mentioned the order of visits earlier. Calling him 1/4, BN 2/4, Badger 3/4 and me 4/4
    I usually don't give order as info. And I'm not 100 that it's how the write ups are working. But obviously the write ups as info.

    Maybe claws can clarify. Unless you are feeling confident.
  27. Mazer

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

    Order of visits do matter. The fact that BN is first does make him very sus. Especially if this was a strongman like theorized. The next sus position would be me. But if Badger and I’s actions failed, it could be assumed that Listo died before our actions
    Do we know the order of visits?
  28. Mazer

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

    But it would also be weird that we all visited Listo and somehow our actions failed
    @Badger

    How do you read this?

    Same question to blind ninja.


    Probably also tildey at this point
  29. Mazer

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

    I went back through my thoughts.

    I can't think of a reason that future is not in the worst spot. His answer today, while plausible, came after today, we theorized strongman, etc. His original defense was that he had no defense and it branched out only after he was in thread.

    Blind ninja is also in my POE. His record is poor. The advantage over future is that he's either played his meta or explained before (the mtr vote he was good with mtr, but advised waiting to finish quests). That could be all fluff, but that and mtr's blatant pattern are his advantage over future.

    I read you town, and currently think you were probably trying to help.
  30. Mazer

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

    Also same question to @Mazer once he’s had a chance to catch up. :yes:
    Is the question what do I think out of the people claws saw?
  31. Mazer

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

    Why counter someone whos done nothing id rather a spicy badger or bn over tildey however maybe the whole house is scummy

    Well, he did vote for every town lynch, not vote for mtr's lynch (even though he loves voting mtr), was one of the people you saw visiting listo, etc.

    Those were a few somethings I guess.

    Tildey is POE. Definitely. I wouldn't do a random random train to be "spicy".

    If there's better probability arguments out there, there might be something I've missed, because at this point I think we need the shot that checks the most boxes.
  32. Mazer

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

    The only real drawback on Future I can possibly think of he is town and Tildey is telling the truth that he has improved his town tells. Of course they could be in it together.

    BN is my current number three but yeah best not to have too many trains I guess. 👍
    I'm reading this as you saying the drawback on future is that tildey (who you think is scum) thinks his town tells have gotten better?

    I would have been closer on this, but claws saw Future as one of the people who visited Listo last night. And we definitely know who mtr was.


    Admittedly, I read through all mtr's posts, and because of that I'm also reading heavy on his biggest pattern.
  33. Mazer

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

    Its majority vote so we are better sticking to one train
    I agree that we need to be careful. We need to make a good decision.

    You and I feel most confident on Future (it's interesting that nobody has even tried to counter the points I've made there), and given the combination of night action and mtr, to me that does feel the most likely. I do think we need to get people on record on what it is the best choice.
  34. Mazer

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

    I don't hate the Tildey vote. The logic is sound and I feel good that mtr had an agenda yesterday. And Xan is at least in my middle, and Badger seems good.

    I think two trains make sense to gauge reactions. Because Tildey and Future are both in my POE I'm ok with this to start. If claws is right (and there seems at least an ok chance he is), then the kill today is probably pretty important.


    I did not want to ramrod future, but I've given him time. He was mtr's most defended person the entire run, and he is on two bad trains and avoided a vote on mtr (way out of character). He has my highest probability.

    Vote: future

    Sorry I should address my little brother more.

    Big Bro is not clearing him….he is literally 50/50 right now which is why I’ve not pigeonholed him like others at this point. Some early stuff disliked and want to RKO him before Caito…other stuff deserves a Badger bigbrohug
    Do you feel like I've pigeon holed?

    Am I misreading mtr?
  37. Mazer

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

    You’ll have to read through but gist is BN, Insaner, Tildey, Dreyski sus in POE (although liked the latter). Questioning Xan/BN openwolfing and BN saying Claws may be 3p earlier.

    In a nutshell.

    Why are you clearing future ?

    I think that there's only a small chance that mtr's references were not part of his pattern. I think there's at least one scum between future and Tildey.

    I do not like blind Ninja’s votes. The 3rd party thing I'm less clear on?
  38. Mazer

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

    Like....let's not ignore the other people, but claws dees has already been confirmed.

    Feels like we should probably pay attention and vet that out.

    Right now, claws has future visiting listo and he has the worst voting history.

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

    Some thoughts:
    • Mtr was actually defending until listo called dees.
    • He went directly at people we either think or know are town. He was most aggressive on claws. Claws should be pretty much town locked at this point. Claws has also been targeted for cheap lynches before.
    • I think the above backs up my theory that he was stalling to discuss tactics.
    • He was defending the House very consistently. Some intermediate for Tildey. Very direct for Future.
    • You can see the point he gives up.



    Here's the morrison vote train

    8 - Morri: BN(346), listo(347), Insaner(349), Tildey(351), Badger(355), Claws(357), MTR(368), future(377)

    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?

    This was my post yesterday about votes.


    To update:

    Here's the morrison vote train

    Not Currently Voting: BlindNinja, Futurehold, MTR


    Yesterday I did not love several votes. And now we have a food data point. On the 6 who voted for mtr, we have listo, 2 I feel good about, me, then Tildey and Insaner.

    Dreyski's vote may be dependent on Tildey.

    I don't love anyone who was holding off. BN did say that he was willing to vote, but held off for the quests, I guess? And then Insaner closed? I still don't love it. There is a pattern here though.

    There's a distinct pattern there where Future has been on EVERY bad vote, voted for mtr when it meant nothing, and then did not vote during the initial push or even after the dees came out. This almost strikes me as oversimple, but damn there's a distinct thread through mtr's posts and future's votes.



    I would love to get everyone's reads on this, and for Future to have a chance to check in on yesterday.

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

    :lol: What is the ratio when I am scum to when I am not? I nap a fucking lot. Feel like that is NAI
    Again, mtr did a lot of stall posts for someone who "did not have time". Which leads me to believe that there was probably a decent amount of scum chat coordination going on.


    Or how about anyone else? Everyone always wants to see what the other house members think of each other.

    Tildey and I are getting to the point it is hard to read each other and have both said so.
    Kind of punts on the House reads here.

    I mean I guess I can see why the his voting looks bad but I think his late hammer on Morrison was just him trying to make sure we get the yeet off because of how late it was in the day much like me in the last game on day one. I am currently reading him as town despite my vote on him D1. That was just our normal banterAnothe
    Another defense of Future's vote. Defends the banter.
    You just like to kill me every game even when we are scum together. You are biased. :lol:

    Any lack of participation over the weekend was just life. I went to wrestling shows both nights and then tried to squeeze in my normal weekly weekend chores in around that.

    When I get straight out caught I start to shit post.
    Claws calls him out on the amount of nothing posts, and he goes to defense.

    Okay not done going through stuff but got to get shit done at work. Back with more and reads later.

    Lots of stuff. I will let you know. ;)

    I think I did give my reads while responding to stuff at this point. Losing track trying to catch up and respond and work.

    Hey look Ma....it's another distraction.

    with only 3 of us playing I feel that increases chance of us all being town which has happened and leaning that way currently
    Hey look Ma....it's another House defense.

    I don't think so. I could be wrong but I don't think so. So let me think about this game. I can only remember only napping once so far so guess that should tell you that I am town. :)

    Seriously though. Not scum and not a fan of the quick pile on that happened to start this phase just based on my vote on D1. Makes me feel like at least one of the three on me today is scum.
    Looking back - The first 3 on him were listo, claws, and badger. So if we're right about claws and Badger, this means he was throwing shade at 3 townies.

    At the start of every game a lot of banter calling each other scum but as the game goes that dies down as we just try to play and solve the game.
    Defends Future.

    I would like to see this break down. There are only three of us playing and even a small game there is a good chance we could all be town. I feel like there is a less chance of us more than one of us or all three of us being scum. I will say there is a good chance one is scum and two are town. But not thinking that currently. But is not mathematically impossible for us to all be town this game.

    When more of us playing that increases the chances of at least one of us being scum since there is more of us and that typically happens. There have been games when most of us are playing and hardly any of us were town. I think there was a game that lots of us were playing and only one was town.
    And now we're going to debate math. But still reiterates that he believes all are clean, but if not all, he feels good about two.

    Okay. I am still reading Xan and Insaner as town.

    I am pretty sure one person on my train is scum. I have trouble reading claws as I have stated a lot because has fooled me too many times when I was convinced he was town and he was scum. Badger has seemed to have some opportunistic voting at times during these early phases. So not ready to vote one person of this train yet plus you guys would just call it OMGUS anyway. But if I get yeeted today look at these early votes.

    I am still kind of neutral on others until I can read and try to put more thoughts together.

    Not going to lie that the write ups are just making my head hurt and making it hard for me to try to get a feel for what is going on and I get that is the point of them to make it not easy to solve. Doesn't seem like we are getting much in the way of info either from people's results so definitely hard to snuff out the scum.
    Town reads Xan and Insaner. AGAIN says at least one person on his train is suss, and tries to go for a push on claws again.

    Keeps the rest neutral.


    Yeah it is not mathmatically impossible. I mean yeah you can look into probabilities but there is not a probability that says we can't all be town even in a game this small. Yes it is typically a mix anytime we play but I am pretty sure we have had all town games.

    More random math debate.

    You're reasoning for voting me is weak. I have been responding to questions and I have given reads. I don't have any info to share and I am struggling with this write up like a lot of people are. What more do you exactly want from me? Or are you just using listo starting a train on me to kill MTR because you like to kill the house every game?
    Goes back at Claws here again. Interesting that the focus is not just on him, still mentioning the House.

    Curious what kind of info.

    Just getting back on line after work and starting to go back through things
    Now this is where things pivot because Listo's dees comes out.

    I have been completely convinced he was town when he was scum more than once so yeah I don't even try to read him anymore especially early in the game. I have stated this in like multiple games


    Fair point. He really can't share. Wasn't really asking him to either though. Just saying I am curious since he is wrong.

    Still trying to defend here.
    I love you too.

    I think Future is town not worried about his last minute vote. He was trying to make sure we got the yeet in.

    Looks like we may have a 3p

    CWE town looks like some info that he is using to come up with his vote.

    Insaner and Xan both coming off town to me as well even if they are pointing fingers at each other but then I have to go back to what kind of info does CWE have that pointed him to Insaner. Only thing I don't like about them is that they both have me in their POE.
    Here's some reads from before mtr is feeling too pressured.

    Defends Future. Safe observation. States the obvious about cwe. Then does either a placating post or has a goal for Insaner.

    Fair enough. I am don't quite have a POE yet as I am still working though some thoughts as I read though things again.
    Delays a lot during these phases. This is an example.

    Yeah I do worry about scum taking advantage of the back and forth you are having.

    So I tend to put claws and Tildey in the middle because I have gotten fooled by them both and I am bad about tunnelling so I tend to wait and see if anyone gets anything that really points a finger at them.

    I can get on board with the rest of your POE for now at least as we are still early in solving.
    Middle reads for claws (an obvious town by this point) and Tildey.
    Yeah I saw the score. Blackburn needs some wins in a bad way.

    I am also playing catch up after the wrestling show last night. It was late and getting ready for night 2 which starts early afternoon.
    He was legitimately busy I guess, but you'd also have to wonder if this is where they are coordinating strategy.

    Of course you are :rolleyes:

    Meh. I have given reads and try to solve stuff. Not post weird riddles
    Some back and forth with claws and CWE that happened earlier.


    Okay. Sorry I was not around last night. Let me start working my way through things and responding to stuff and giving some thoughts along the way

    Hate not getting a flip especially when there is not a ton of info going around. Guessing this was some sort of cannibal kill which I think others have already said as I did a quick scroll.
    Lol. Guess he knew about that kill.


    Not a fan of this vote and then people jumping on it rather quickly.

    I had said I didn't plan on sticking with my Future vote and was all for making sure we got a yeet off.

    My placement on the train was because I went a chunk of time off line and when I got back the votes had swung they way they had. Had I been online earlier I would have been on the train in an earlier place.

    Barking up the wrong tree.
    Defends his train place, so there might be something there. Wondering if the team decided to move together late on that vote?

    Not knowing the numbers isn't great. I'm going to see if I have time to do an ISO. If not, I'll get back on tonight and do it. Because there's a possibility that the numbers aren't great.
  45. Mazer

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

    Badger's theory that 3rd party has a kill might be the way. Because two cannibal kills and a double kill honestly seems pretty fucking OP. Maybe the 3rd party has something too?
  46. Mazer

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

    Kinda due to this post, its when MTR is picking up some heat so there is good cause for w!Dreyski to try bring attention elsewhere


    but at the same time there is just a chance Dreyski is onto something, his defence of MTR was only very slight, and didnt people say Tildey is good at catching MTR?

    I dunno, maybe me overthinking but there is my reasoning
    I think both of these are valid considerations. And there was something I was thinking of as well. I'm going to catch up, and then possibly see if I can go find.
  47. Mazer

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

    Probably a lot of people are going to come in after the fact and claim that they always were on mtr, and that this was inevitable. I'm not 100 convinced that's actually everyone's reality.

    I'm not gonna lie, I was at least curious whether this was an easy lynch target, as mtr has been targeted there before. That Badger and Claws were on it did make me feel ok to see. Things were stagnant at that point, and as I go back and read, there was at least discussion around others. Hell, voting records was making me re-evaluate Future (honestly, evaluation still ongoing).


    But I'm by no means sure that it would have gone off otherwise. Folks round these parts will tell you that one of my cardinal rules is "when you can kill red, always make sure you get the kill". You never know what happens at night, etc, and I also would not have wanted to end the day with anything less than a kill, if I know I've got one in sights. I honestly think it's a selfish virms type play in a game like this to risk not getting it.

    Still do not buy the Listo wolf theory.


    Assuming Listo correct, I'll add to the top list of Mazerified Trust

    Listo
    Claws

    It's very, very common for different wolves to spread themselves out and align themselves with different sides.
    I don't disagree with this, but I still can't get behind the listo theory
  49. Mazer

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

    Nah, MTR pretty much repeated what he already said previously that he town read myself, Xanjori and Future and promised he'll do later.

    Made me think he was already I'm anti-spew and trying to limit information after his death rather than trying to fight for his life.

    Maybe. But because a complete give up theory would also likely mean his team gave up on him before the dees was called out.

    Which is not my current theory.

    Logically it can't be both ways.

    If you look through again, and take yourself out of the equation, does it feel any different?
  50. Mazer

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

    That vote puts MTR at L-2

    My question still stands... Do we lynch? or give everyone time for quests and more discussion? Do we think scum need gold too?
    I get bored.

    But not rushing is probably fine.

    I don't see why listo would fake dees on a bad mtr lynch. Unless I am greatly missing something, because why would you fake right now?

    Good job listo.

    Assuming this is all on the up and up, the nice thing is listo waited, and mtr's defenses are probably pretty telling.

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

    Still, CWE never presented said logic so there was none for me to call out.

    He also said 90% not 99%.

    He also said that every single thing I posted except for one read as towny to him and he voted someone who wasn't me by the end of yesterday.
    I think the closest interpretation of calling out logic might be you thinking he was tracker.

    I don't want to be pedantic about what "calling out" means. But that might be what is being referenced.

    CWE had put a decent amount out, so it's not that this was some secret. CWE had him has a possibility, but not a certainty. Say what you will about CWE, but he doesn't play with fear. I'm not sure it changes the equation dramatically.

    It's a bargaigning tactic. People were saying at the start of today that I should probably die. I say I'm an obvious villager. So let's meet in the middle and agree to at least let me survive another day, eh? We are all reasonable people here afterall.

    Here's the morrison vote train

    8 - Morri: BN(346), listo(347), Insaner(349), Tildey(351), Badger(355), Claws(357), MTR(368), future(377)
    2 - Future: pups(68), Val(268)
    1 - Sleep: Mazer(375)
    1 - Listo: Drey(316)
    1 - Xanjori: CWE(205)

    Not Voting: Morrison, Xanjori(240)

    7 - Val: future(410), Insaner(991), Xan(1003), Badger(1008), BN(1079), Tildey(1121), Mazer(1122)
    1 - MTR: Listo(894)
    1 - Xan: Val(558)
    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?
  60. Mazer

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

    If I was scum I would've tampered with the record to make MTR look better lol
    Mtr being the one off voter is intriguing. Honestly, I was curious if someone would feel like they would have to hammer or jump a train when I did the "I'm watching for something'. I was fishing for a nervous player. And it was interesting that we didn't see the same "energy" as we did on the Morrison train.
  61. Mazer

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

    Because he doesn't seem agenda'd but he's also so incredibly inoffensive
    When I really push people have a tendency to vote themselves or get modkilled. It's counterproductive, until I'm mostly sure I'm right. But that's fine. Because, I don't expect anything until I lead a righteous kill.

    Except from one person.
  62. Mazer

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

    I had no reasons to push Val like I did if I was mafia and every reason to avoid doing that.
    None that I know of. But I don't know every theory and possibility. If you're using it to clear yourself....that's a reason?

    I don't hard clear strong players unless I have a super strong read or they make a kill. Ask Psych and void about that. lol.




    I also don't ask different for myself. Unless I do something really clever. As I mentioned earlier, sometimes I have a gift for these things.
  63. Mazer

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

    I look at Xanjori. I look at you.

    I see one person that is doing useful things. I see one that is not.
    Not an unfair point. I've known Badger a long time, and I strongly believe he is town. Frankly, I don't even like why I know, because I didn't like the day 1 interaction. Badger also knows if he pulls that ATE as a scum, like he did a much lesser version of 1 time, and for the next several games afterwards he will know no peace.

    Am I lying Badger?
  64. Mazer

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

    It hides the body of the killed person, preventing the information about their role.and alignment from being revealed. Sometimes the hidden flips are revealed retroactively upon the janitor's death.
    I think we've seen this in Foxxi's games a few times previously.
  65. Mazer

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

    I guess you weren't saying that so w/e.

    Let me put this to you.

    I wasn't in any imminent danger of dying by the end of yesterday. It was less than 4 hours before EOD. We had something like seven 1 vote wagons. Xanjori and Tildey came and said they weren't interested in yeeting me.

    If I was mafia, I could have just left a vote on anyone, say Val, and peaced out for the night and the day would prolly end in no elimination with how disorganized everyone was. Or if not it was still up in the air who would get lynched. It's not like I had to push Val in order to save any particular person. What would be the wolf motivation in pushing Val for me exactly?

    When, if I were mafia, I could have just completely ignored his slot and have him get yeeted after my death due to being a lurker and having some positive interactions with me. Because the only substantive thing Val did this game was defend me unconditionally. It would have been BEYOND STUPID for me to push Val like that as mafia, killing my staunchest devotee and gathering heavy suspicion for killing a villager. When he already looked partnered with me and was going to be a free miselim after I died.

    It should be pretty obvious that I'm not mafia here IMO if you think about it for more than a second.
    People can pretty much tell a story for any action. I don't think what you're saying in unreasonable, or something that I'm scum reading. Because with zero righteous kills, it's a helluva thing to want a hard clear just based on possibly letting someone die later rather than before.

    Oh yeah it definitely applies
    Points for a solid copy/paste.

    I think it makes sense to at least try to get a read from val.

    Honestly, I would have typically said take the highest percentage shot.

    Because we's dees and da Vinci code are befuddling me, it doesn't seem the highest probability route.

    I do think people need to start slapping down some firm reads/votes.

    V
    CWE
    Badger
    Claws
    Tildey

    Is my starting point. Im kinda willing to give Insaner a pass today because I dont think his interaction with me makes sense if he is a wolf, it would hard spew me town, as well as confirming CWE and probably spew BN too. I dont think a wolf with a mech check on them goes for that play.
    Tildey you're pretty confident in?

Tildey has played less but picked this game up very well not unlike Mazer who was launched to the stars especially after TMNT when he used a cop me me as bait to lure scum so he could catch them in the act. I know he said he wouldn’t do that again but honestly didn’t mind. It was obvious I was cop anyway with scum Rip communicating but yeah @Mazer O’Neill that was a stroke of genius! 👍
    I would totally use you as bait again. I just would have to do it a different way so it was more unexpected. People wouldn't buy that response from me again.

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

    Maybe Im a sucker for it but Future talking about his wagon felt pretty towny. But then I dont really know his wolf range.

    Wouldnt MTR have pushed hard on the me/Saner conflict if partnered with Saner? Especially as if Saner flips it spews me town completely

    Hard to conflict if you know a partners outted via deez

    Is it all clear? We've definitely seen bussing of the own team happen a lot lately. That and the "I MADE A DERP. CLEAR ME! ONLY US TOWN WOULD MAKE DERPS!" are two pretty common plays right now.
