Mafia 87: Madness in Mega-City One - GAME THREAD

[brainbomb]

This feels fake from Brain.

Its really not hes saying he thinks its fake but was voting to end hammer him?

His opinion evolved and he neglected to/didn't know how to unend.

Calling bullshit

[brainbomb]

Is be really shocked if two cops outed in the same phase; one that doesnt even have any meaningful data to offer. It seems too ridiculous for you to not be furious about or annoyed. Youre just so calm about it

[brainbomb]

Im gonna take a break

I expect everyone already realizes this and I’m late to the party, but both the Addictive Cop and the Pa Angel can mean that ND’s (alleged) scan is not reliable. It seems unlikely in the overall scheme of things, but it is not impossible, so it surprises me how large and singular the D&W wagon is.

Particularly surprising is Balki. Balki has been the mech-lord but is now ignoring the subtleties of the setup and talking as if D&W is already dead:

Nobody is going to end vote. We give Dip 46 hours to read the thread and post an awesome legacy for us to follow if and when he flips Town.

This lack of interest in even thinking about the game at the most basic level - the setup - is incredibly striking to me after Balki’s previous days. He also just sat on sweet all day D2, which is a bit fishy; when I’m town I rarely find myself 100% sitting in one spot, especially so early and with so little info.

##VOTE Balki

Another mechanical possibility:

ND is an Angel and was visited by Judge Mortis. He knows he is going to die but doesn’t want to announce it because his team would have to do theatre all day. Instead he makes a fake claim to get a miskill of a non-Angel (and one who has been scumread so is easy to push).

In the world of OSHA’s Process Safety Management, you consider a double-failure, or two failures at once, to be a nearly impossible incident so you don’t have to develop safeguards for it.

That’s a long way of saying we should process the information in front of us when it’s applicable instead of chasing other undeveloped leads.

[Chaqa]

Im adding will to my scum pool because this smells of some scheme he is involved in somehow

This feels fake from Brain.

Do you think it's "same scum team as ND or D&W" fake or "diff scum team than ND or D&W" fake or is it town fake for some reason?

I think it's needed to resolve this now and maybe catch a mafia rather than potentially letting a threat linger once potentially more kills start to happen?

Also I still don't get why ya'll think Balki is suspicious

This makes some sense too. The question is, if this is true, what would make ND choose D&W as the person to try to get killed? Why would he not choose someone who is widely townread and not already a possible miskill in his team's eyes? say Will or you or brain?

[JustAGuyNamedWill]

Okay
I think its possible that will is mafia with both ND, and kotp

This is some wacked out crazy shit but what if neither of these ppl are cops. And the roleblock was also fake.

Im trying to process this whole thing and if there is some way they could all just be faking under that umbrella

Mmm okay brain

Brain lock scum

He knows why I know

I am upset but ND is immune to criticism and kotp is a new player who doesn't have experience with how things usually go.

Oh, this is actually plausible.

Calling bullshit

Also call bs I just accidentally didn’t type unend

But my opinion has evolved and I’m going to be voting brain next u less ND is outed as a liar

I'd lean towards different team, I guess?

Mm very smart

Brain lock scum

He knows why I know

Because you're in a discord chat together?

Haha no.

Er maybe he doesn’t but I know he’s scum

So do you think he would involve himself in this as a different scum team? I have a pretty strong townread on brain, so I kinda think this is more just town brain, but I'm wondering if you're seeing something I'm missing.

Also I'm pretty in space and my keyboard feels weird lol
