Barry Presents: an Oversimplified MAFIA Game Thread

[Kross Rhodes]

I was willing to roll with the No Kill thing because I would’ve shot you that next phase anyway, so it all kind of came out in the wash.

What happened there, btw?

I protected Jeff, who CP shot. But apparently he forgot you killed Sky and flipped me.

So when he realized your last bold was Sky, he apparently changed CP's kill to me. But, there shouldn't have been a second kill.

I stopped his Jeff kill. So removing your kill was the right call there.

Although, it's possible I could have stopped your kill on me again, but I ain't worried about it.

Just chalk it up to one of those classic Barry goofs.

Please show more respect to my scum game, please and thank you.

Honestly, it varies. Most of my play, town or scum, is ultimately dictated by my faith in being able to prove that I'm town come hell or high water. For instance, in Kingmaker, I was content to post whatever because I was Kingmaker and therefore confirmed as soon as I claimed. It's one of the reasons I hate being pushed Day 1 when I'm scum (I mean, I hate it in general, but) because the less of the landscape you know, the less confident you're going to be that you'll survive claiming once the pitchforks are sufficiently sharp.

I also tend to not get mislynched, though, so I dunno. Maybe there is a tangible difference to how recklessly I play when I'm town with a role that makes me feel secure vs. town with a role that makes me feel the need to shake things up a bit more. Or maybe it's just that the scum QT feels less inclined to shoot me at Night when I'm, y'know, in it.

I thought that might have been the case.

I forgot you switched to the Sky kill, and CP shot Jeff.

So I kinda panicked and lumped both Smark and Sky in and tried to course-correct it later.

I didn’t actually switch. You just read the previous Night’s action, I think.

I probably did tbh.

That's even funnier if you never changed from me at all.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Theoretically mafia still got a tiny advantage because I would have still had the chance to stop the kill on me, but chances are I protect Poyser.

 

[RetepAdam.]

Our last actual submission had been Doddsy shooting you — which, in fairness, I had reiterated in the thread. But also in fairness, Doddsy was dead by the Night in question.

 

[RetepAdam.]

Like, my last post before sending in the Sky kill was the “Leave the Memories Alone” video for Doddsy.

Barry, Reagan?!?!?!?!?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Reagan is the Mayor of this Town.

Barry, Reagan?!?!?!?!?

Oh trust me, I think Reagan is a horrible person overall.

For historical context on a lot of characters:

William The Conquerer: Invaded England from Normandy in 1066 and is singlehandedly responsible for the English language being created the way it is. His conquests would later manifest the 100 Years War and the everlasting rivalry between the English and the French.

Charles V: Probably the most famous Habsburg just because he was so inbred his chin was malformed. Not only was he the King of Spain, he was the fucking Holy Roman Emperor at the *same time*. He lived during the time of Henry VIII.

Vladimir Lenin: The guy that spearheaded the transformation of Russia into the Soviet Union.

Henry VIII: Formed the Anglican Church, had six wives... you know him.

Fredrick Douglass: A huge abolitionist and civil rights activists during the 1860's.

Mikhail Gorbachev: Last head of the Soviet Union, and all-around fascinating guy because he was genuinely nice and cared about the Soviet people.
