My Little Pony: Friendship is Mafia

[Geminex]

What was Snake's D1 strategy, even? I honestly couldn't put it into words. He just analyzed a lot.

I had no extra power, just your standard drunkard with pictures.

I do not remember really suspecting you. I may have been throwing your name out to get you or others to post. When people weren't posting I threw around HoS because I needed people to react too. It's hard to introduce an idea with pictures.

At times, after looking over the mafia thread, I would then go elsewhere on the internet or even in real life and still be thinking of how to explain what I want to with pony GIFs.

Some meaning of commonly used pictures.


Replaced a "?" Conveys exactly what it is, a shoulder shrug. The character I used didn't matter.


This was "Do as I say" till I replaced it with the Celestia Obey.


Frustration on my part.


This specifically meant "no" for misunderstandings that required a follow up explanation.


"I cannot explain what I want to with pictures."

Size of the pictures typically meant nothing. Over time I was making them smaller and smaller since I kept feeling that the pictures were too big. But I would go back and use pictures and not bother resizing at times. Though particularly big, in relation to whatever I was currently using as standard, did mean extra attention.

To be fair Nikose turning out to be scum had more to do with him lying about stuff you said and less about your actions directly, as town lying is something I would have thought was a massive no no. So some one lying in any form is a pretty big indicator as to who should be lynched. Day 2 would totally have been Nikose dying if it wasn't for the lynch override.

You had a lucky shot Hawk.

And I don't think I was that inactive! Not at all! Funny enough, the times I was inactive were because I was just genuinely busy. Circumstance screwed me over something fierce. The fact that I didn't change my vote to Nik was pretty telling though.

Addressed it here

Smarty's just judging me based on incomplete information as D1 and D2 are both non-representative samples of a traditional "Snake pro-Town Mafia game" as both days ended earlier than I anticipated and neither ended with a traditional lynch.

But I'm still confused as to his insinuation that I had "outed Power roles," that's something that's not supported in any way, shape or form. I didn't make Sifright reveal that Karesh was Fluttershy and I never asked the Vig, PO, or any other role to reveal itself. Maybe Smarty's just butthurt that I would've led a D1 lynch on Bob the Merc and killed a Cultist if not for Bookie's mistake. Or maybe he just hates my guts.

[Bard The 5th LW]

If I have one regret, its that we didn't hang Solid Snake and shoot IHMN.

[Oron]

Oh, it's over now?

This game was all over the place. Cult wipe Night 1, then mafia was going strong to the point where we were sure we'd win within a couple more game days until Nikose got lynched and Bard + Ryanderman went down that night. We got cut from about a third of the populace to... something like a fifth. Had RPG not nightkilled that night, his and our chances would have been better, since he basically rolled us over to die when we got knocked to two so quickly. Town just had to keep going down the (much shorter by then) path they were walking to lynch greed, and I knew I would come up soon without people to hide behind.

IHMN was ridiculous. I went through a mental list Night 2 and had most of it figured out (I thought so, at least). I was sure Hawk had a power role (I thought he was the Vig, because I wouldn't put it past Fenris to give someone a role based on their avatar), and Greg had to be the PO/Roleblocker. RO slipped by my radar because he was an add-in so I couldn't tell yet what role he might have been. And then IHMN had the whole list that I just read before saying to myself, "Well, he knows just about everything." I honestly broke the SK down to either RPG for his behavior or IHMN simply because he had all the scum pegged and I figured either he really didn't know who I was yet or he did and hid my name to keep the game going.

Wonder how things would have turned out if I didn't catch greed and Oron.

If you didn't scan me and I was a little less mentally exhausted when I role claimed, I probably would just creeped through the rest of the game. I've only played a few games of Mafia before, but I've managed to go through a whole game without even being mentioned (once as a Vig). I'm not kidding about the "Unremarkable" part under my username. (I don't know why I thought I still had that in my User Info) Sometimes other players just don't talk about me during the day in these games. Note how I never made a serious vote (the one against Smarty Day 1 doesn't count) and nobody called me out on not contributing to the voting process.

That Day/Night cycle literally flipped the entire game around.

What I did do was ensure greater activity led to lots of pertinent D1 and D2 information that Town could later rely upon to, for example, establish Nik was scummy the moment I flipped, suspect Greed for his inactivity, etc.

All that information you outed? Helped us get beads on potential mafia and town power. Like that's how we got Hawk as probably power day 1 and how we picked Nikose as scum. Then Day 2 I picked Geminex as probably power, and Ryan and Greed as scum.
We wouldn't have if we didn't have posts to work off which you drummed up with . You got heaps of information out of everyone which is good for the town but it is also useful for the cult.
I had two of the most powerful town roles in my cult sights and it was all your behaviour. Prior to you drumming up posts I had no idea who had these roles. Post you drumming up posts I did know them. I didn't know what roles they had but I had a fairly good guess they were power and it turns out they were very good power.

But Snake, everyone is just playing for fun. Stop harassign everyone and criticising their games. We're all just having fun and your game wasn't super godly. So stop being a dick to everyone. It has nothing to do with me "hating you" or you pushign for a cult lynch. I don't hate you and if you lynched a cult dude well done.

Snake, it's all in fun. You being super mean to everyone.

[IHateMakingNames]

I'm so glad that the cult died on night 1. Cults are stupid and would have easily won this game.

I had no idea who any of the town power roles were.

[Oron]

I'm pretty much okay with Cult dropping right away. Nikose was pretty sure he'd have been Culted first.
