Super Mafia Bros. World 2-1

[Ashe]

Following up on the previous post as promised, I think another theme I see in every game's first days is "Why did the mafia kill whoever the first one or two people were that died? THERE MUST BE A REASON SO I THINK____". There actually doesn't need to be. For every reason that can be given of why it would make more sense to do one action, there almost always seems to be an equal amount of reason to do the opposite. We can say "why would they kill SilentBob? They never talk, so what's to gain? Why not kill someone vital?" and then someone else will feel "if they killed Loudmouth, its too obvious, because he spoke out against certain people". But then that can be gamed by "So if they automatically just kill the first person to talk about them (or each person that talks about MAFIAGUY1) then people will just dismiss that on the grounds of 'too obvious', which can be abused in both directions."

We keep ending up in the Princess Bride scene involving poison in the cups by thinking and overthinking it too much. I really don't put much faith in the idea that the first kills really matter and are done literally at random just to get us flipping shit. I could probably find posts in other mafia games to support this, but maybe next time.

That said, we should vote SOMEONE because while its detrimental to be losing townies right now, the completely passive play is equally detrimental in that we are still losing townies but with nothing gained for it of information.
