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

[Tommy MBE]

So if you were scum, you would just tell us?

How could I if someone was guiding me as some think. No but I'm telling you I'm town. I wouldn't of said on everything I hold dearly. Not a expression I'd ever use if I was lying.

After sleeping on it. There is one name that I've woken with that might be slipping under the radar. Barry. He seems to be present, but with any conviction or desire to hunt. Just happy to survive. Survival is a wolf desire.

UNVOTE
I think I'm just voting for a fool. If he is actually mafia then FML. I'm praying I've just been blind to the village idiot.

You seeing something that I'm not?

ngl feel you're being deliberately against anything I'm selling so far here uce

 

[Lethal]

Outlined why I feel they are wolf.

- Attempt to buddy by citing my experience in games (which is false)
- Complicated, cryptic reasons for voting
- No real interest in pushing for people

Now, if I am mistaken on this, then so be it.

 

[Just Juice]

I have no intention of pushing for either of the two voting me. I'd much prefer to go for my bottom four (although probably not Tommy anymore for reasons previously stated). Voting anyone else, will take convincing.

Barry
Brett
Wang Chung

I also feel incredibly weird as to how Juice has not reacted or been defensive upon those who have turned against him. Blaze went to vote Juice and that didn't sus Juice out, now Lethal is doing it and Juice still isn't sussed. Being town this round, anyone who has turned their eye on me, I get a strong suspicion about obviously knowing I'm town. Whereas Juice has had a reaction that I feel most scum would have. Not overreacting to a sus out

 

[Barry Poppins]

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)

Well shit, that's a pretty solid argument ain't gonna lie.

Vote: Blaze

 

[Barry Poppins]

He's been far too indecisive, yet analytical. It's not making a hell of a lot of sense to me. I think Blaze caught him perfectly with the complimenting and than accidentally walking it back. That speaks to not genuine responses to us, rather setting up feints in the given moment and playing off the current vibe in the room, which to me screams Scum to high heavens. The consistent doubt and revoting, just idk. I highly doubt it's Blaze and Juice at this point, that would be an insane case of distancing to the point of casting pretty significant doubt on one another. I'm pretty set on this

Juice/Blaze almost certainly not S/S. Could be S/T tho, imo.

I mean Iirc didn't Juice read Blaze as *more* town for voting against him?
