Don't Call It a Comeback! Mafia '26 (Game Thread)

[Comrade Khan]

not gonna be around for EOD but I will be up early and around until work time of 930 EST. beyond that I really cannot guaranty I can even check my phone. Unless Grim comes back or someone has more to discuss I am probably gonna crash shortly boys.

I don't really see anything interesting about how he responded to Troop or you, maybe just saying how he could be convinced to go for Troop, idk what more could be said with that little content or how you could convince him. It's a weird fixation on Blaze still to me

Chris playing gas station simulator is now suspicious

Game crashed so I'm here for a half hour or so until I sleep

I still think my biggest issue with anything this game was that sequence where Grim started sussing blaze and started asking if he had said anything about booty. It read to me like he was specifically saying bc both booty and Brett were new so why didn't booty get the coaching accusation and that makes 0 sense from any POV to ask.

But when I pressed I'm pretty sure he said something like he was just asking if blaze had said general thoughts on booty and questioned if blaze could be buddying him (again doesn't make sense when blaze hadn't mentioned him unless this relates to the coaching accusation). I really wasn't following his logic at all here

Am I the only one that feels Brett is going way too hard?

I think that might just be his personality, both the analysis and the joke posting that Jean brought up. But that's an assumption on my part since I've never seen him play, some are more bold and some are more timid as scum though. It's why I don't have a solid read on him yet

I think Blaze's whole point as to why it was targeted towards me was that I had said that I was a newb, yet I was being super analytical from the jump and perhaps that could have read as being coached. Vs. Booty who we know is not really coachable and was also just acting like himself the entire time and was really not being scummy aside from him targeting me

I mean yeah that's not Blaze's point that's just reality lol it's why I questioned that specific post by Grim so much and he was just like "it's day 1 it's not the serious" until I kept asking and he had to respond

Yea man, idk if you haven't learned this from my few months being on here but when I do something I typically go all in and get super into it. I knew from the jump you'd be targeting me just off the sake that we always have completely separate philosophies on how to operate in practically everything lmao

 

[Chris]

Also to point out I don't think Blaze ever really mentioned the same potential for Booty, unless I misread.

Do you think Brett and booty's posts are comparable that he would accuse booty of being coached the same way?

Literally what lol booty accused Brett of going too hard bc he was posting so much, why would anyone on this game make the same point about both of them. They're playing completely different

No but also Booty isn't really making his presence known lol, hes mostly quipping lol.

It was just something to mention for later on.

Why would you expect blaze to make the same point about booty that he made about Brett? I still don't get it. You're pulling anything to say it's blaze rn instead of proper analysis

Brother it's D1 and it's a casual game, it ain't that deep lol.

Again I ask, from your POV why would blaze from any alignment do this?

Blaze makes mistakes like any other human. He could think he's being sly lol

Is the mistake that he hasn't accused booty of being coached? I still don't think I actually get the point, I'm not shading here I just think we have a disconnect rn in our words

It reads to me like you're scum reading Blaze harder bc he hasn't said the same coaching theory about Booty. If that's the case, I'm very confused why that's a red flag to you

Well I'd look at it like this, supposing Blaze is scum and trying to throw any shade he can on Brett as a newer player, the coaching accusation is an easy thing to throw out based on Brett by virtue of just being active.

Their interactions as well feel too on the nose for me with the last few posts being "Oh, Booty wouldn't be coached! He doesn't listen to anybody!". Which could be a cover theoretically if and only if both are scum and a way to tie Booty to him if Booty is town and make him suspect.

I guess maybe what I'm thinking is that Blaze could be potentially pocketing Booty with the good guy act.

Throw shade on Brett while either buddying with Scummate Booty or pocketing town Booty.

This is the immediate convo

That’s totally fair
BOTS gonna be fun

Well I had my reasons to think Troops vote was interesting for different reasons. You've used a lot of weak adjectives here too to the point you seem like you actually don't want to vote troop (which i never implied we should, or accused, for the record...). it's almost like maybe you know their alignment...

See I thought Troop might be voting for you as a potential wagon derailer for blaze. weak theory but one i expected someone like you to mention. especially when you yourself are the target of said second wagon. almost like you're no selling it.

Look man I'm just trying to have fun and have a good game with my pals here, I'm not too concerned with deep analyses when I'm more concerned with voting on vibes and what my brain thinks.

 

[Brett]

Just trying to have fun with your pals who aren't named Blaze I presume

 

[Brett]

This is the immediate convo

Misunderstood your last post that I responded to, I am in complete agreement with your take on grim.
