New Year, New Section? Mafia '26 Phase 2 (Game Thread)

[O-Blaze]

The troop vote for Wang screams super Sus to me. He is establishing some pretty concrete evidence and then defaults to an inactive player who really doesn't have a hell of a lot material to the point of warranting suspicion.

What you all are failing to realize is that Troop was getting ready to vote and then I told him to wait because we have 48 hours. He then decided to say that in response to my comment to him about waiting things off. He didnt come up with that independently and as Wang had discussed, Troop very much is responding in kind vs. playing with a strategy. (I.E. holding vote cuz of my comment, Voting Lethal because of pressure).

The issue with Blaze is a change in pattern of behavior. Blaze as town was incredibly active last game. He is now making a conscious effort to be less active (he was playing a video game last night, he wasn't working lol. That's an intentional decision) Not saying that everybody needs to drop what they are doing to play WrestleSmarks Mafia, but an observation of a behavior pattern change is certainly warranted for Blaze.

He doesn't even fight or argue with any suspicion against him, which to me is attempting to not be aggro against any players in order to not ruffle feathers. He's playing into the Blaze "I'm not that great" trope with the "I haven't been playing my best game I know, I know" as the only defense to any time he is questioned. That just feels so off putting, where Blaze typically defends himself with pretty sufficient evidence (see me calling him out for not interacting with Lethal)

So I did something typical me would do, but that wasn't good enough for you?

Also yeah I chose to play my game, and guess what if this cold stops fucking on me I got right now stops, I'll play again. Won't be til at least 7 or 8 tonight, like always.

Anyway. Gonna probably lay back down here soon. I'll be back around a little bit later.

Just off the fact I don't like the strong town read on myself from them. Doesn't feel warranted tbh.

So Blaze's vote goes to the person that is town reading him, this feels like 4d chess.

Me town reading Blaze, doesn't mean I think he is actually playing well though LMAO.

I still want Tommy to explain why his go to word is "scum" when he claims to not understand the game or have played before.

This feels a bit like a set-up for Tommy to botch the answer to this. I played my first Mafia game last game and I caught on fairly quickly that scum = mafia.

Because although someone might pick up the word scum quickly. Its strange that its the only term they would use, when it is in fact a slang term

 

[O-Blaze]

You need to have more confidence in yourself Blaze. The play was very pro-town. I don't think scum needs to interact with Brett after he made the comment about interactions,

Me town reading Blaze, doesn't mean I think he is actually playing well though LMAO.

I still want Tommy to explain why his go to word is "scum" when he claims to not understand the game or have played before.

These two post seem to counter each other slightly. As the top post was after me saying I'm not playing well last night.

 

[Just Juice]

Barely any evidence they actually read back. As offered nothing of value. But was quick to put Barry down as scum. Yeah fuck it. Tommy can get lynched Day Two.

Bravo

 

[Just Juice]

I mean you can't be playing that well, if you are voting me. That much should be obvious. Still think Blaze is town though.

I mean I have a reason i clearly laid out right there as to why. If you were being rather lackluster and someone said you was strong town, would you not question it?

 

[Just Juice]

I've slightly downgraded you Blaze. Perhaps a revealing that you are not catching up in the lobby but actually in the mafia chat? Or you're just lazy and haven't read back.
