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

[Professor Booty]

Vote Barry

Sorry didn't know I needed to bold the vote, I never saw anything about formatting or anyhting. If that led people to think I was playing coy I'm sorry. I have never played before and didn't know the game had started until I went to bed. I tried to read all of this on mobile after a shit ass day at work. If that meakes me a terrible person I'm sorry. I wanted to do this cause it sounded like fun but getting attacked.... not fun. I'm still gonna play and I hope the rest of the game goes better.

As for the vote I was not comfortable with the way Barry kinda voted Blaze super early nor did I find the reasoning for Blaze being scum sound. Maybe I'm wrong and fi I am my bad. Felt like the vote was placed to intentionally get Blaze out. When you notice that there were 2 votes for Blaze super early like that (Barry and Booty voted Blaze within 10 minutes of each other) it's sus. Like the 2 of them are in cahoots or something.

Every single thing you say and do is gonna be analyzed in this game. It’s gonna feel like an attack every time. This might not be your kinda thing.

@Barry Poppins

Who are your town vibes rn, I think you've said them already but I'm just remembering blaze as scum and booty as town, can you give your final vibes for everyone since it looks like you're gonna go. Don't need an explanation if it's gonna be reaches anyway just the vibes are fine lol

MOST
Booty
Chris
Jeff
Troop
Brett
Blaze
LEAST

Town is gonna be in a tough spot after I go but I think we can at least parse it out. I'm still kinda questioning why Brett had Troop of all people above Jeff or Booty (if I recall correctly) when he hadn't posted yet.

Good luck to everyone tho!

 

[Chris]

I don't really think it's that confusing to understand what Brett said explaining that tbf but I think the explanation itself can be sussed. He basically just said troop was null which is perfectly fine, I wouldn't hone into that. But it just means everyone below it was a scum lean to him bc of their posts. Which itself is not good, that's a little too paranoid lol if he doesn't like Jeff or booty's posts then why would he put them over troop who hadn't given him an opinion at all

 

[Chris]

I'm getting iffier on Booty ngl he hasn't really changed anything up to make me see his play differently I'm just reevaluating if it's something he could do as scum. I don't think it's necessarily not anything he couldn't do, and it's also mostly how he should be playing as scum (given the town reads, it's amazing play if so). So really I'm debating if just town or very good at blending in.

Barry scum flip would definitely make me look at him seriously but I'm still not sold there bc of they're a team, I imagine communication in private would have stopped booty from voting right after grim on blaze. But a town flip for Barry is even giving me some pause with how easily booty read him town when I was questioning all of his posts and booty just focused on blaze instead. Thinking through that, however, why wouldn't scum booty just go at the townie I was pushing instead of a different townie and side with the one I'm pushing?

It's most likely these are independent town thoughts if Barry is town is my current conclusion. Certainly not a scum read on booty if Barry is scum but he should move down in the town reads i think if so

Also just to elaborate on a possibility I didn't discuss. I can't see a scum booty voting blaze instead of following me on grim unless it's specifically grim as his partner. No chance of scum blaze/booty duo here I feel like and if grim is town then scum booty just votes him I think?

 

[Chris]

Happy to finish grim off I think if booty doesn't have anything else to say. I'll wait for brett at least tho, he said he'd be back on in like 10 mins or so I think

 

[Chris]

Let me try and give more concise thoughts since I've been all over the place

Players:
1. Barry Poppins - flipping, trying to look at everyone based on either scenario of his alignment
2. Comrade Khan - very nervous about if grim flips town bc of paranoia that he followed me knowing I was wrong. Otherwise have liked play
3. O-Blaze - def town if grim flips acum. Otherwise, tentatively have liked on a vibes play, mostly a meta read but definitely haven't seen anything that reads as he seems to be hiding something and I do have some confidence I think I could get him but we'll see.
4. Professor Booty - big analysts above but basically think he's town unless the exact scenario grim flips scum and even then I wouldn't say he's my top choice for partner necessarily, just don't keep auto town reading him
5. Brett - still a big wildcard for me, not confident in reading his play at all but the suspecting and questioning everyone I think bodes well for really trying to figure things out. I've been on sync with him more lately game but he also said he started following me then basically so again, if I'm just wrong about grim then of course scum will let me steer that course
6. Chris - townie town
7. R-Troop - weakest read for me let but I would give a town read to if grim flips scum, slight chance grim would have felt defeated in the chat and just told his partner to come in and vote him to cost though, grim can play emotionally lol don't let him skate by forever if grim flips scum but give him some points. If grim is town then he's basically wide open and I don't have many reasons to see him as town other than buying the emotions but that's not strong

 

[Chris]

Hammering if I don't see Brett online in like 10 mins lol

 

[Professor Booty]

Honestly I have no idea if he is town or not because this just seems like typical weirdo Barry shit

 

[Professor Booty]

just in the middle of trying to transfer my cell service

 

[Chris]

Honestly I have no idea if he is town or not because this just seems like typical weirdo Barry shit

But "woe is me I'm not good enough to do that" felt so unnatural to you? I find they're both being pretty true to their personalities

 

[Chris]

^ that's about blaze if not obvious enough lol forgot his name

 

[Chris]

We're about 30 mins left now anyway and just us two it looks like. Feel free to press me on anything else you want my.thoughts on since I might not survive the night lol
