A Perfectly Average Game [Mafia Win!]

Oh my god I completely lost track of time and thought rollover was an hour later than it actually is for some reason. Probably time zones. Time zones are evil.

Anyway, Luxxxie-cutie, I'm not sure if I follow with your A/B + C or... whatever that is... but more like the former setup than the latter?

also just to put this out there, I have no idea whats going on with the A B C stuff. i am awful at following these vague hints and pithy clues....... i leave it in the hands of more capable players //sweats

I like this idea -u-

Also not following the ABC stuff can someone elaborate?

@ Lucas
Okay, your comments about Rasei are all I needed to know. That helps clear some things up from my perspective. I don't need to ask anything more on the jailer or jailers for now, anyway. I also thought she might have made the comment about the jail to gain your trust, which is why I was 56/44 on her. But after some more recent posts, I wanted to hold off on that lynch.

You're only middle-ground as in I didn't have reason to not want to lynch you like Aeiou and Katagi, but some of your comments put you in a position where I wouldn't be against lynching you. Whereas Five and ezz are in a similar spot, but I wanted to watch them a little more closely before deciding if I'd move them up or down the ladder.

though tbh from what I know and have seen, you're above average in many ways c;

@ State of the game
We... probably can't NL forever, but if there are no kills this coming night phase again. something fishy is up. And Hayley keeps assuring me the ratio is accurate and this isn't Ikea 2.0 (for newbs, Ikea Mafia was a game where... I didn't play it, but I think everyone was mafia and had to find the other mafia, or something).

So with this in mind, if the gimmick of the game is what we think it is, then at some point we need to move past that and realize even still that three people are going to be mafia in all of this. So it's back to evaluating he-said-she-said (mostly she said, tbh; this board is like 90% female). And in this case... Five's idea of everyone claiming their targets might not actually be a bad idea in the end.

Might.

@ Five
If you think it's more like the former, than that's fine. That answers it, I think. I also got a bit of it wrong since I was doing it on the fly, but yeah.

i get this feeling im going to be killed tonight

If we don't have any kill attempts tonight, I'm fine NL tomorrow.

Forever Host Hayley!

I guess five's advocacy for NL is conflicting with her usual playstyle. I didn't think about it that much when reading through the first time, but I'll probably go back again and re-read.

I do hope there was some reason we pushed for NL. I wish we could have seen what Rasei flipped, to better make sense of the sudden rise in Rasei voters.

day 37:

PAM sits atop a throne of bones, watching the fire dance around PAT, who still sits, looking at the game board

Gather 'round, children. Auntie Lux is going to tell a story.

"Oh, but I love stories!"

Me, too, Blaire. Me too. Now! Players 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 decide to play a mafia game!

"That's a lot of players!"

Yes it is, Blaire! But the host is a cutie pie and knows she can handle it, because she has decided that this game is going to be average.

"What's average mean?"

Well, Blaire, averages can mean many things. In this case, the cutie pie host decided the game would sound like nothing extraordinary, but little did the players know...

"It was extraordinary, wasn't it! I love this story."

Yes, exactly, Blaire! The host looked at the payers and decided that rather than give them each one of twelve different letters, she'd give them a total of six different ones!

"Why only six?"

Because auntie is just doing an example, dearest, and it's rude to nitpick examples.

"Okay, I think I get it."

Good. Now, the cutie pie host is too generous; she looks at all of the players and she can't decide which letters to give each player! What if they don't like their letters? That would be no fun at all for them.

"So she gives them a lot of letters!"

Precisely. And so she goes, giving the first player the letters A, B, C, and D! But for the second player, they only received A, E, C, and D instead!

"Did everyone get their own set of letters?"

I don't know, Blaire. Rumor has it to this day that the cutie pie host had some nefarious plot up her sleeves. They say she distributed the letters such that each player was similar, but not. And then do you know what she did?

"What?"

She forbade them from ever speaking of it to one another, so none of them would know which letters they had.

"But they all knew they got some of the same letters, right?"

Well, some of them thought so. I think all of them did, deep down.

"So what did they do about it? Did they fight over the different letters or do anything with them? Oh, I like fighting!"

Nope, they did nothing!

"... nothing?"

Nothing! They elected the best course of action was to sit together in a circle and hum.

"Is that it?"

Yes.

"That wasn't a very good story, auntie Lux."

Turn off the lights and go to sleep, you little shit princess marmot.

You're right, it absolutely does. I think, though, that this game is far from a usual game. I wouldn't usually suggest people out their important actions immediately, either.

I have decided I hate stories, then. I'm going to go play my games. Like an adult.

OH I GET IT

"AVERAGE"

GEE HAYLEY THATS A LITTLE MEAN OF YOU

Oh, clever. :D

Also, storytime Lux > TLDR

No lie, today Hayley admitted uncertainty regarding the mathematical computation of averages. (As in, how to take an average of some numbers. She was unsure if she knew how to do it.) I say we mutiny.
