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

[Barry Poppins]

I understand if people aren't a fan of that kind of thinking tho lol

 

[O-Blaze]

If I'm wrong and you are gone. I at least hope you had fun

 

[Brett]

Like my whole philosophy on Mafia has changed entirely to where I feel like we really need to stop caring so much about deep analyses and trying to parse people out for their "tells" lol. Just vote who you don't like and if you're wrong, it's aw shucks, guess I was wrong! Mafia does not affect my life in any capacity and (with the help of some incredible meds) I don't need to take it super seriously like I used to!

If there was no analysis or nitpicking this thread would be like 2 pages long, half of which would be me and booty cussing each other out

Cussing is optional

 

[O-Blaze]

I will be up early tomorrow AM and cast my vote. I can't in good conscious vote just yet with so much time remaining, I want to sift through as much as I can. But I certainly am leaning towards Grim as scum, although in the back of my head Chris' self-assessment of always wrongfully convicting Grim makes me almost nervous about this lmaooo.

I would've waited but I know when I lay down I'm probably not up again til D1 is over. Plus the whole not caring energy sits bad with me. So I probably wouldn't change my mind anyway.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Also I don't mean like stop sussing people or reading back shit entirely either lol, just don't use it as a biblical guideline for success in these games because half the time that's how town managed to brain fuck itself into losing lol. Just vote for who you don't like.

Pretty much same for me as well

Brett thinks he and I are cussing each other out lol
Naw you should of seen some of the shit Barry and I have said to each other over the years

The thing I love about this angle is that it reads as like pacifist, but then it's like oh wait youre just saying that you dont fuck with Blaze so youre voting against him

Huh? In what way am I being pacifistic lol.

 

[Chris]

We can essentially boil down Grim's case on blaze to "didn't like the coaching post" then just for summarization and ease of reading for everyone

 

[Chris]

Also just a reminder there's no night posting so we should def try and stretch out any hammer until we've talked through some possibilities about what both a town or scum grim flip means if thats where we go. Since once he flips scum gets to kill someone without anymore discussion it would be good for everyone to kind of think out both possibilities first

 

[Chris]

Town flip would obviously look bad on me, I should rightfully not get any points for me saying history says I mislynch grim lol but I know I'm town so the followers are Jean, blaze, Brett and I guess troop? Blaze probs the worst just bc grim also went at him hard, grim could just be wrong as town still tho. Otherwise I get all their reasons for voting minus troop, I wouldn't that much extra suspicious of I keep liking okay otherwise

Scum flip I think clears blaze, probably makes booty looks a lot worse? I'll look into that more tomorrow for sure. Jean I would trust a lot more, seems a weird bus when blaze had momentum anyway, leaning that way on Brett too but he joined later (at least with a vote committal, I'm aware he hasn't actually voted for have I but I get why). I would give troop the most minor of points bc I do think his vote was probs genuine so if from is scum then not a bus but very iffy there

I'll reanalyze this tomorrow morning though, should have time but I like this now
