Мафия 4. The Smell of Money.

Teng, yes, most likely it was done so that people would stop bothering me about my mermaid))
P.S. I also thought that all the cops had died after the article about the complaints in the trash can.

An example of a vague clue – my first murder, KostyaN, with an unclear wheel and a lot of dragons :-)

By the way, I'm probably the only one who figured out that there's a dragon in your profile too, but it was too late:(. Besides, in one of your posts, you tried to cleverly hide it using an old mafia trick: "everyone is a goat, and I'm exposing them" – by listing everyone with dragons, except yourself for some reason:D – it was so obvious that it was just insane, there was no other option but to immediately suspect you!:cool:

Yeah. Yes, yes. I realized it later, but it was too late :-) thankfully, only Sten was THAT perceptive :-)

KostyaN, Mafia is not just about racking your brains trying to solve clues. It's also about restoring order in the game, establishing roles, and monitoring participants' posts. In this case, the town had no chance from the start because, even if they exposed the killers based on clues every day, they could still only "hang" one person. As for the clues, the situation is such that I provide some clue in the text, but the killer can be identified using some other statement or even not based on clues at all, but by observing the behavior of the participants. For me, Mafia is more interesting from a psychological point of view, and the clues... the town almost "hanged" someone based on a simple clue with "pain." By the way, I forgot to mention it in the summary. From your side, KostyaN, it was extremely wrong to write your guesses to active players in the game chat. Not only do you violate the rules, but you also disrupt the game for the participants. What if you gave the wrong hint? You could lead the town down another false trail. It's one thing if the eliminated players discuss something among themselves, or, okay, jokingly comment. But this moment is simply unacceptable. And it doesn't even matter if the town would have figured it out in the end or not. Arandor was very upset by your actions. As for the clues, there are probably some that are too simple and some that are not simple enough. But I am increasingly convinced that giving simple clues is wrong. It will no longer be Mafia, but a guessing game, like "there's a pear hanging - you can't eat it." Added after 2 minutes Tengro, Cadillac was a simple name. Since Ara started complaining about the Mercedes, and since they went in the wrong direction, I still had to name the car somehow. I couldn't just write, "it wasn't a Mercedes." But they also started complaining about the Cadillac

Yes, Kostyan, it's not good to give hints (especially since you mentioned Visa), what if I'm from the opposing faction and you're helping us in that way?

No, guys, I won't give you a machine gun. (s)

Conclusion: our GM hasn't been in the shoes of an ordinary citizen for a long time. With such clues, and with them so cleverly hidden, the city initially has no chance!

Considering the amount of chatter pouring into the thread, it's just cluttering up our minds; there's a term for it: "information noise." It drowns everything out. That is, by the 3rd or 4th night, you definitely don't remember who said what 20 pages ago, and rereading it all is just too exhausting.

And to gloat a little at the end: I did suggest banning Rift and Tengro... I just got Nick's name a little wrong...

The particularly strong clue about the pain leaves the city with absolutely no chance.

The difficulty of the hints actually varies greatly. The hints for you and Cash were very easy, almost unbelievable; I thought there might be a more subtle hint involved. However, the clue for Ara seems quite difficult, in my opinion.

I tried to accuse everyone, and that's why I paid the price...
Actually, I strongly suspected Ara because of the way he structured his posts... And then I started looking for any evidence to accuse him...
Even such things... :)
