Stranger Things Mafia (Halloween 2022)

[Wam]

I'm really enjoying when boomfrog kisses me. Woof.

MWA?

[bessie]

Woof.

That being said, I'm not sure why you wouldn't assume so. The OP states it's non-bastard and Madge has made it clear in the past when a setup is experimental.

A game can be non-bastard and experimental; these two items are not mutually exclusive. And either can be unbalanced (reference: Impromptu Mafia).

Does anything ever buy town cred with you?

Not really. Why do you make a throwaway comment instead of digging into why I made that remark?

Wow this is nice. Is this how other people feel all the time?

Can I has high postcount?

Yes and I will even explain a strategy for accomplishing this task. You can give us your thoughts on the game so far.

MWA?

Woof woof.

[LaserGuy]

Sorry, didn't realize this had started. Apparently confirmation isn't a thing anymore.

[LaserGuy]

LaserGuy, any reads yet?

Yes.

[LaserGuy]

MWA

2 Mafia with weak power roles, most of town with weak power roles.

MWA MWA

What is MWA? Is this a flavor thing?

[LaserGuy]

Why the assumption that this is a balanced game? I'd expect you to know better.

Though I can see how my question about how to balance a 7-player game and my question to the mods about whether there are 2 same-aligned mafia seemed to be the same topic, they are separate matters. Though the latter did occur to me from thinking about the former.

That being said, I'm not sure why you wouldn't assume so. The OP states it's non-bastard and Madge has made it clear in the past when a setup is experimental.

btw welcome to the "high" poster club. how does it feel?

What were you hoping to gain from this? I can't imagine a situation where the mods would reveal this sort of setup information if it weren't already in the OP.

What is MWA? Is this a flavor thing?

Yes, MWA (aka Wam) in the flavor only speaks using their name. Wam is pretending to have this as a posting restriction.

If you're referring to the question I asked the mods, it's because I consider there being a single town/uninformed majority and at least 1 informed minority (consisting of 2 or more players) to be the skeleton of mafia. Regardless of how experimental, these two conditions ought to be met. I wanted to confirm that they were indeed met.

[Seven]

Are you actually gonna share your soul read with us?

Yes.

[madge]

Boomfrog has been prodded and will post tomorrow.

I believe that he's the only one in the player list who has yet to post?

MWA!

[somitomi]

MWA!

Coco?

Not really. Why do you make a throwaway comment instead of digging into why I made that remark?

You know I can't make too much effort on D1, because then you'd hold me to that higher standard

Yes and I will even explain a strategy for accomplishing this task. You can give us your thoughts on the game so far.

I don't have much of those at the moment. Things feel a bit slow, but I can't tell if that's because they are or because I got used to the faster pace of some other sites.

Do you have any guess as to why?

Yes.

How amusing, a mathematician's answer. What is your soul read?

[Wam]

MWA!

Coco?

MWA MWA MWA!

for out psychicing me

I'm sorry for ruining your fun. I'd hate to one up you.

I'm really enjoying when boomfrog kisses me. Woof.

This makes sense. I give my kisses freely.

Does anything ever buy town cred with you?

Not really. Why do you make a throwaway comment instead of digging into why I made that remark?

What an unexpected twist!

If you're referring to the question I asked the mods, it's because I consider there being a single town/uninformed majority and at least 1 informed minority (consisting of 2 or more players) to be the skeleton of mafia. Regardless of how experimental, these two conditions ought to be met. I wanted to confirm that they were indeed met.

Well, waiting to make that expectation clear until the game had already started was a good choice then.

Vote LaserGuy
This is a completely joke vote and has no basis.

[LaserGuy]

Yes.

How amusing, a mathematician's answer. What is your soul read?

Any reason that you asked about this response but not my similar response hereabouts?

FWIW, I think that it's fairly obvious from context how Zen is reading heury and based on heury's reaction, I'm inclined to agree.

[somitomi]

MWA MWA MWA!

Boom is the scummiest for... not having posted at all?

You weren't answering one of my questions. But not that you've drawn attention to it, can you tell us more about your reads?

FWIW, I think that it's fairly obvious from context how Zen is reading heury and based on heury's reaction, I'm inclined to agree.

Yeah, it is pretty clear at this point

[boomfrog]

Hmm. Laserguy has no point.

Vote somitomi

This vote has even less evidence to support it.

[boomfrog]

Yeah, it is pretty clear at this point

Was it not yet clear at this point?

I'm leaning Town on heury based on that exchange. bessie seems okay so far. I'm kind of getting an indie vibe from Seven.

But that exchange happened before you followed up on this? [pedit]Ninja'd by BoomFrog.

[boomfrog]

I'm kind of getting an indie vibe from Seven.

Yes, I expect if Seven was indy then they would make obvious public questions to the mod's about the balance concerns their role implied.

Yes, but if Seven spites me, I'll spite Seven.

My sarcasm-o-meter is flaky, should it detect something here?

Serious and final vote for today. Sheep me for win.

Understanding the upsidedown was always straightforward and easy to do in the show. And BoomFrog is famously straightforward as well.
