Welcome to the spec chat for Image Mafia, y'all. Going to keep it spoiler-free so no one knows what is going on, not even spec lol

This will also work as a spec chat for ONUW, so feel free to talk about both games~

I also find C9++ to be way more fun than 2d3 that was used in last year's gif games; the roles are more varied and better built for discussion.

If you're not familiar with either setup, a cool thing about them is that you can start guessing which rule distribution is in place with each role flip. For example, if you see a Serial Killer and a Roleblocker flipping, you can already tell that the remaining Mafia members are either 2 Goons or 1 Goon and 1 Godfather.

Lol for some reason I was concerned about mixing the two game threads up while they were going on, but not only are they happening on different sites, but one is image based XD. I feel silly now.

I have to say this game is very hard to read, but I think I'm understanding it better than I did when reading through the other Gif mafia. XD

I find it a bit weird Retro and Monkey are both town reading each other.
 
Ok four pages to catch on... good thing I'm not on a mobile connection.

Super interested in the setup Pedro. Do you happen to know if the two-fold version has been used in a game here?

Nope, I even had to do some research to know what this two-fold version was :o

Off the top of my head, there are the only setups we have used that were not designed in this community:

https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Medical_Mafia
https://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=2d3

Having a hard time to distinguish serious discussion from what's not, but that's the point I guess. And that Furret gif is adorable.

I see, thank you. That doctor setup sounds crazy, but the town winrate (75%) seems a bit too high? The sample size is small though.

And Mafia won that setup here, weirdly enough ^^

i have a headache after seeing hundreds of gifs :/ gonna lay down for a bit and check on onuw
 
Damn that was so fun :laughing: . Thanks Pedro. Sad I had to work and couldn't post at EoD. My last post was a "gotta go" gif, but I guess it wasn't blatant enough and I didn't have any time to make it more apparent since I was already late.

It'll be interesting to see how day 2 unfolds. Surprised I got the gut before both Geno and Maol. Not sure why Febe got a pass either unless some were under the assumption that he's a PR to explain his unorthodox playstyle this game.

Regardless this was hella fun and I have to play in the next one. I love 24/24 games. Feel more hectic to begin with on top of being gif only.

I'm glad you had fun, terra! As long as players leave the game feeling like that I am satisfied.

And I don't think this type of game can be had with phases longer than 24hrs, I would notice a drop in activity because there isn't that much to talk about between each phase.

It was a fun time double checking Febe’a stuff lol Pretty stressful. This one is shaping up very fun. Faddy is good at ONUW, much better than me.

My set ups are generally unorthodox as well. I like making games akin to Geno's Heroes and Villains but much less on the bastard side. The RPG formats are some of my favorite to play in and watch.

I was trying to figure out why this thread was so quiet and then I realized that like most of the Mafia community (that are pretty talky at least) are playing in one of the two games or on the replacements list. XD

Anyways I noticed Monkey's earlier hints about being a mason based on how she reacted to Ty4on being NK'd, so I'm willing to believe that claim for now.

I find it weird Sawneeks is townreading Captain.

I'm honestly impressed with myself that I'm actually getting reads from image mafia, though I'm trying to figure out why Fireblend is posting only Brooklyn 99 gifs today. XD

Also I'm sorry Pedro you keep having to tell the players to not break the rules D:
 
Welcome!

Still unsure I'm following what happens in this game, but your gifs were nice I guess.

Me last night:
Fireblend wagon trash
Maybe Coppa avoided it because too many wolves
Wolves love bussing
Wolves hate bunching up
Love spreading out
Fireblend town?

I’m so sorry I killed you T_T

I didn’t really go over you, just decided to sheep Monkey and briefly thought Coppa looked a bit better (when he needed to die).
The whole night I came over your posts thinking “wow, he looked pretty decent” with decent solving and thread presence ;-;
 
Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about gif mafia. On the one hand, it feels like an opportunity to have fun and be experimental and absurd (and in that sense I did have my fun), but in this game in particular it feels like people are fighting against the format and taking it too seriously and getting frustrated as a result?

Honestly, more than once I had the impression people would rather be playing regular mafia.

I kinda loved it, it was really fun trying to condense my thoughts into simple gifs and forcing myself to express something understandable.
Reading got much more gut and following the thread real time, ISOing was almost impossible lol
With some effort tho I could get thru stuff, esp using the old strategy of opening every page on desktop and going thru them.

When it’s all done I’m curious how my tone reads were because I can’t quite explain them the same way, but they were there.

We tried to get some strategy going with everyone targeting same player, but failed :(

It was kinda fun trying to figure out a strategy and in retrospect the mafia were totally lynchable.
 
The Good Place and Brooklyn Nine Nine things were self imposed challenges :P I did break it several times on D1 and once on D2, but it was a fun limitation :D

A version of gif mafia I'd love to see implemented is one where people can't repeat gifs other than those used to refer to players posted by Pedro. I thought the town/mafia gif used for reads was super boring to see repeated over and over.
 
Concerning ONUW, I guess you have to play it a couple times to really get it. The forum format makes it very sluggish which I think robs it from some of the game's appeal which is the quick games (even though it's still 1000 times faster than our mafia games lol), and it's really designed to have a lie hold for ~10 mins max, not 48 hours. I'm building an ONUW bot for Discord which should make ONUW games more like the real life thing, hopefully that will be more fun for people and help them wrap their head around it :P

That would be a pain to moderate, even more than this one is already.

Yesss building hype for B99 mafia!
 
If I was town I'd probably end up voting L_P, I think there's a very high chance faddy and malus are being honest but I wouldn't want to risk splitting the votes.

GIF mafia is chaos and that's the way I like it, town is doing perfectly.

I love it, I just got tired quickly with so many people. And yes, ISOing is like... impossible here. But it's a good challenge to be concise and clear. (as concise as I can ever be)

I... had no idea. I wasn't even looking at the file format, just searching on giphy so I wouldn't get yelled at.

My super ambitious N0 stuff was a secret code where dogs were scummy and cats were townie and a plan to split the player-base in half so we could focus on one each, I picked Sawneeks as the splitting point using the glover image lol

I made that dog gif as the first thing D1 combined with spamming I have no dog end of N0 as a start of “this is me lying to the thread” signal :P

If Geno is town, I'd replace him with Verelios in that pool of three. It's so easy for people to hide in this format, though. Our first game was super easy, should have been two and done, but this time people have been real snakey. Plus it's bigger.
 

Ty4on

So my guess is that mafia is in:
Geno, cabot, Mao

unless I'm wildly wrong and then Sneeks or Retro.

I was giving cabot a pass and Mao I was really iffy about, but that's my giant PoE lol
I could see a Saw, Coppa, Retro team lol

Saw is a bit hard because I can’t really town read her despite the activity

Terra was too high a poster to be lynched D1, a CFD on Geno instead would’ve at least gotten rid of dead weight

Saying that with gifs tho...

I got twisted up on poor Terra because he had so many posts dedicated to talking about the time. It started to look like a cover.

I just remembered the hardest thing to express. When you first posted that you thought Retro and I were townie I completely misread the graphic and believed you said we were scummy. I had never seen the town-scum scale so I just read it as a generic "scummy" marker.
 

Pedro

I thought that enlarging the game would be a good idea but it turned out to be bothersome to moderate. And while I thought beforehand that changing to C9++ would generate more discussion, it ended up doing that too much and I think the game was hard to follow for some, spectators and players alike.

If I ever run another game like this again, I'd change it to a smaller game (smaller than 2d3 if possible, even), and another thing I'd change is apply penalty for rulebreakers swiftly instead of giving reminders on and on and on, since that hasn't worked. Something like saying upfront "if you break any individual rule twice, you are modkilled/replaced".

Retro saying he’s busy working 3-4 posts in a row tho, that’s a cover :P
Could be but Retro’s votes have felt like kinda fumbly town to me. I’ve gone back and forth but I keep landing there.
 

cabot

Why.
Greetings. Life got the better of me here, aswwellaas jot expecting the game to be so hard to post when not at a desktop.
Also my work network blocked the sitee ithsall player images, so it made following the game pretty difficult.

Posted some solid gifs that made me laugh though.

Someone, i don't remember if it was febe or cappa, said once "twitch clip mafia". And, that would never work because people can't hear audio at all times, but it would be worth it just for the extra reactions.

Capt was a wagon two days in a row and is a top target so you lynch him now and hopefully get two days where the mafia wagon was saved.

The inability of Era to load a single post is amplified to the extreme here when you need to load hundreds of gifs every time.

Oh boy. I'm really disappointed with myself for this game but I'll post more about it later. For now I'll say:

-don't let people derail you with weak logic
-don't make assumptions

these are the things I'm gonna remember.

I'm hoping for one particular person to figure it out now.

Verelios, it's all you, buddy. You can do this.

Heads up everyone - once ONUW XV.2 begins please refrain from discussing it in here. Image Mafia is the main attraction right now so I don't want to have to yank players that have died in that game from this chat just because they want to enjoy a short ONUW. Plus I need to be able to continue to assist Pedro with OM stuff while also participating in ONUW. Thanks for your cooperation!
 
This was fun but the game for me at least was a bit hard to follow, couple that with the fact that I can't post gifs on phone made me have a very low post count. And yesterday I was super busy so there was no way I was going to avoid getting lynched.
