Im still learning a lot about mafia but one thing that stuck with me from my first game (Star Trek) is the night after scum first went after Ulti who was kinda bp doc, meaning he could withstand one normal killing (non-strongman) action, no one died and you could tell Han (who was scum) was totally sour grapes once the next day started and he realized ulti was not lying about being bp to at least some extent. I was lynched instead of Han and regretted not pushing harder.
When I saw no one died a second night in a row in this game, I expected to see at least one person come across in a way that reminded me of Han in Star Trek. A way that doesnt feel quite right in response to good news for town. Maybe not angry. Maybe trying their best to contain feeling understandably exasperated. Maybe just pressing for information to help them avoid a third consecutive night of a missed kill.
Yup.
Peaf voted death going along with Dumeys reasoning (he apparently loves when Dumey talks math to him). Dumey said unless theres a ninja strongman its 50/50 between death and mzero. Now death has flipped town and peaf acknowledges it could be mzero but is instead pushing for votes on ctes instead of going along with Dumeys reasoning he agreed with yesterday. This is because peaf knows one of two things to be true - Mzero is his scummate or mzero is town power but his power isnt useful anymore now that red is dead and I used up my one watch. Plus if mzero is town, hes a mislynch candidate.
Hell, I was a one time watcher - maybe scum had a one time strongman ninja. Seems pretty balanced as a means to not to punish scum for using strongman on an obvious candidate if the watcher hadnt used their watch yet.
If peaf flips strongman ninja, mzero is virtually proven to be town. If peaf flips town or some other scum role, mzero stays a question mark. But I dont want a town mzero meeting the same avoidable death as death because we made a suboptimal play.
I dont think we should rush to end day because Id like for everyone to take a stance on this and peaf is welcome to plead his case. But I sure as hell will not be spilling the beans to get you to share what youre doing thats supposedly working to save townies.
