EB Mafia

[beccabun PE]

There were errors by both sides in this game. The lack of a nightkill on night 1 hurt the mafia. But the RNG/RPS consistently benefited the town. I RNG'd the tie last night before the RPS came in, and roar lost. The RPS came in 10 seconds later, and certainly within the allowed time, so I deferred to it for transparency. And roar still lost. The lack of voting by townies on several days also hurt the town - this happened several times so it can't be attribute to anyone in particular.

I gamed out the endgame Day 6. It looked really good for the town. Like: "Were in the endgame now" gif territory. But all that assumed that there weren't two mislynches and everyone played their part.

I said we had a definite win on Tuesday based on the people in the townie thread versus people not in the townie thread.

Seriously! I can't understand how the F$%^ @EyehatethePEexam survived, much less won the game! I'm not even talking about using game theory or anything sophisticated. A couple players noticed and pointed out that he said how many mafia there were. That was the obvious red flag, but there were so so many other hints. I figured the town had to know! But after the investigation induced lynches ended and @Dothracki PE was being voted for, I thought that it had to be a set up. Nope, just a total mislynch.

OTOH, I can't figure out of the town correctly picked @txjennah PE as mafia. I did a WPA analysis mid game for each player and even looked for hints with some omnipotence, and couldn't see anything that id'd her as mafia. So I guess it balances with the above mislynch?

All of the above is predicated on what I see through the thread, and the cop, doc, and mafia PMs. I'm blind to anything that might happen in side PMs.

I intentionally put the wrong number of dark wizards down- we had 5 and I said 4 thinking that ignorance would simulate innocence...afterward I realized that was a misplay as number of mafia was unknown. Beyond that I think it was just "we know he's a dark wizard, we can pick him off tomorrow after we get so-and-so" until we had most of the vets picked off. I think my/our biggest failure of the game was forgetting to whack someone the first night. That put us in a bunch of coin-flip situations.

Hahaha, no everyone just forgot to vote for a nightkill.

Um wait, what I meant was...
We were so confident in the win that we figured we'd spot you a kill. Yeah, that's what happened.

It was also part of my master strategy which will be revealed at a later date.

When I gamed things out, I figured that @txjennah PE and @squaretaper LIT AF PE would be figured out based on POE. But that assumed a branch where @EyehatethePEexam was eliminated instead of you.


LOL! You were investigated by both cops on day 1. You never had a chance.

The rest were:
MP: nikr, roar, jk
beccabun: duran, mp, <intentional skip>, blueblueprint

Whether she knew it or not, the doctor was always protecting a cop. Well at least up until the last couple days. On Day 3 I think @vhab49_PE figured out that @beccabun PE was a cop. How? idk.

She trusted me, I guess because of my unfailing honesty? And the townies accepted me for that as well. Storke of luck picking MP to protect the first two ngihts, day two @beccabun PE reached out and after a bit of convo I told her I knew who the meidwiz was, and she said she was an auror. That was the night she investigated MP, and gave me info that I don't think anyone else knew, so I decided to trust her. That is when we knew JP was mafia, since neither knew if he was the mediwiz until I said he was not. (Still had not said I was the mediwiz at this point). At some point i got added to confirmed townies and told everyone I was my source (mediwiz). Then I started alternating between MP & Becca, until they were both nightkilled, and it all went downhill from there. We just could not get it done.

Correct, after I investigated @DuranDuran, he told me that @vhab can always be trusted so I reached out.

I'd really love to know the sequence of cop investigations.

I guess specifically I'm curious about when @SaltySteve approached me and ask if I was a cop. Was that a genuine question? I assume that I had been investigated.

At that point I seriously considered lying and pretending to be the cop, which would seem to be easier to pull off when there are multiple.

When I PM'd you, I was just speculating. I really thought you were the cop. It didn't occur to me until I made the $0.02 post that it could have been mafia mechanics in play as well. I didn't get pulled into the Town thread until after I got axed.

Great game everyone. Thanks for modding @RBHeadge PE

 

[BlueBlueprintPE PMP]

nice game! I'm in for another round!

 

[Dothracki PE]

I'm in for the next round @LyceeFruit PE

 

[JayKay PE]

I mean, I knew @txjennah PE was going to be killed because they ALWAYS are mafia. Whereas vhab is always cop...except when they're not, then they're doc. Has vhab ever been maf?

As of right now, I'm in @LyceeFruit PE , but I might be house shopping? So. Yeah.

 

[ChebyshevII PE PMP]

I'll play @LyceeFruit PE!
