Borderlands Mafia [DAY TWO] - FIRST OFFICIAL GAME OF 2022

[Ekkologix]

GF + roleblocker vs cop and oracle can work

i'll wait and see after magic's readback

What do you mean? Literally the whole reason why one would claim a role that triggers on a nightkill is in the hope that other players are like "let's test this and not vote for him"

well sure but then why would he fake a role that gives info. if he's town, like he said, not only is he a lynch option already but revealing that role would be nightkill deterent...for scum .

now could it a pre-emptive "this is my role and it will explain why I am still alive later" then sure, but as above, that only works if he wasn't already in poe and we were in the late stages of late game paranoia.

 

[Ekkologix]

It works because we’re not gonna have two cops.

why not? they r both limited + mafia has a GF and potentially a roleblocker

 

[Showtime]

He’s probably the scum role cop, yeah?

If he flips town, it’s just Poyser.

I can’t see town having two cops.

it's definitely not poyser just cause im town lol.

 

[Poyser]

I can’t see town having two cops.

I don’t buy we have 2 cops either, but why on Earth would I claim cop blind when it just dooms me lol. Assuming I was scum, there’s no need because I would already have great standing from bussing Lethal. Dooming myself to a counterclaim would just destroy all that work, doesn’t make sense.

There’s zero reason town would need two cops bro it’s not even about whether or not it’s too stacked it just doesn’t make any logical sense why would you give town two cops and not a bodyguard?

I agree with you, but you gotta understand the optics if Magic flips this weird town oracle thing.

My problem with lethal's entrance isn't necessarily that I thought it was bad, but a couple of things:

1) He didn't show any appetite when he was town to give a summary list of his thoughts on players when he was town, yet it was the first thing he did after repping back in here. Already he seems way less carefree and wanting to be seen to be doing something
2) He weirdly said he dropped jeff a shade (but still town) because he could be using the ekko thing as a distraction, but then went on to say that hes not doing it the same way he usually would as scum so Im left thinking... Why? Why make the change, why feel the need to bring it up?
3) He seems to have flipped over on sky and not really for any apparent reason. In his town life, he had her as town:



Doesnt really give adequate explanation for why he's changed his mind either




Sky has been doing that all game so what's changed his view on it lol?

Plus obv I thought Jobber Doink was sus anyway before all this.

This came later but there's also this in response to ekko



So again, why has he dropped jeff down a shade again?

@King Switch does this read as a bus to you?


if the answer is no it should be no even if i flip town.

man still I dunno if I'd wanna go down the poyser might scum and just fucking threw lethal in the fucking fire for no fucking reason tho lol

 

[Poyser]

My thought exactly. Though would GF/Rolecop/Goon be too powerful against a town with only cop/doc?

They have a blocker tho

 

[Showtime]

Good post from poster

if you found it a good post why didnt you vote lethal?

 

[Leon TrotSky]

They have a blocker tho

Even more powerful then

like i said this isnt how we shud solve games
i've seen 3 roleblockers for town, ive seem some real crazy sht in setups b4. this dont matter to me

 

[Smart Marx]

Look guys I’m cool as a cucumber so if you wanna risk losing to mafia because you don’t want a test Poyser that’s fine, but I just don’t see town having two cops.

That being said, Magic is clearly scum here.

We don’t create those weird set ups here though.
