Mafia! Perhaps my favorite game ever (besides The Mole, of course). During Episode 6 it was all about Mafia. And perhaps I should let everyone here in on a little secret: I am a Mafia Guru ^_^.
For starters, I have been an active member of MafiaScum (www.mafiascum.net/forum) since 2005! And during college I also started my own Mafia Club where we played once a week for my entire college career!
So let's get down to the games:
Mission #12
This group of 8 players played with 2 mafia, 1 detective, 1 doctor, 4 townspeople.
Ethan000 very early claimed Doctor, which is not the thing to do… and interestingly, when Day started after the first kill Ethan stated he'd kill "Snake, Andrea or Daniel" … ALL THREE PEOPLE THAT ENDED UP BEING NON-MAFIA. Very suspicious…
Daniel123456 and IceIceBaby were very quick to vote Snake when that wagon started. Effectively voting out the first townsperson.
In the end, the mafia (Ryan and Wyatt) offered EM002 an exemption if they helped them win (since Ryan already had an exemption anyways).
But big picture, virtually everyone contributed to the Mafia's success. Daniel's vote for Snake early on, Ethan's vote for Snake along with his desire to lynch Snake/Andrea/Daniel, and Eric's decision to go for the exemption over money, all led to our less.
Mission #13
We played a variant that Nick has called "Mafia Squared", where there were 4 different cops of different sanities, and 1 mafia. However, the game is actually called Dethy, a breakdown of the strategy for this game can be found here (http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Dethy/Analysis).
However, Jkjkjk15 quickly put an end to any mole's attempt to sabotage by claiming Mafia and allowing us to lynch her. Game Over.
I find it unlikely that she would be mafia because of this… but for all we know it was a brilliant ploy to throw us off her scent and help the team win money… only time will tell. I guess I was a little bummed though that I didn't get to showcase my mafia expertise… maybe next time :(.
