He was. The scum doc is mostly tumbleweed. The only chat was briefly picking night actions.

I honestly don't get why Ecco shot BK to take themselves out of the game, that seemed like a really wasteful action?

I think Ecco was kind of iffy on playing to begin with so after getting a little bit of D1 heat she saw shooting herself as an out.

Hal great work getting a perfect early case on me.

Also, was there a scumdoc? I'm curious if MMM really was as afk as he pretended to be.

It was here and there. I definitely could have played more but I do think my inactivity was a little overstated in that people kept following the cases I was making.

There was a point where I realized I couldn't win if I was the last scum and was pushing really hard to get killed so I started saying a lot of nonsense stuff and then not posting which was intentional in that I was trying to get voted out. That was a weird day for me and I didn't super enjoy it. I hope you still had a good time podima.

The random pre-alignment thing really got to me. I mistook it at first and thought Opop must be my town buddy because why else would I be protecting him? But then when that was shattered I kept going back and forth and then just came to the conclusion that if Opop was scum then I didn't really care about the game because that's lovely.

I agree that you can't really balance that, Amoeba, but it was just a lovely conclusion to come to midgame.

Yeah I had a good time, but I think I want to try one more smallish mafia game to see how it works out in practice - this game was interesting but I wish it hadn't been so unbalanced.

At the start of the game I figured you and Ecco might get killed normally. Then Ecco purposely suicided. And then after you claimed you were never getting NK'd.

Ack I just realized I'm coming across as kinda lovely about the game balance. Sorry about that, Amoeba! Been a rough day.

Hey Podima you may wanna check out Emoji Mafia, its a small game for new players being hosted by Asiina. I'd link it but I'm phone posting; it should be in The Game Room or in the OP of the Mafia Discussion thread. You were fun to play with and I hope you stick around!

Same with Alehkhs! If it's something you'd want to do.

hahaha I had literally just signed up right before you posted this. But thank you for the recommendation and I'm glad people didn't find me obnoxious! I will endeavor to lurk less next game.

It's fine. The game was wildly unbalanced. Turns out that friendship is the true power.

If the gimmick wasn't in play it'd have been Godfather+Rolecop vs Cop+Doc+Tracker+1-BP+1-Vig

The Vig is more likely to kill town, but that balances against the BP. Godfather balances against the Cop. So Rolecop+Doc+Tracker. Scum were underpowered for normal roles. But the buddy powers just put everything out of whack.

I was minorly disappointed with death buddy only because it looked like it would have been an interesting 3-person lylo.

Yeah same. If I had lived through the NK I would have had a 50% chance of Tracker actually being useful!

Nature Abhors A Vacuum


If only I had been doc'd the night I got my Opop result.

I had a fun time. At one point I started to wonder if there were any scum at all, with instead there just being an RNG kill to try to get us all to realize the True Power of Buddyship. Then I got NK'd.

Thanks for the game!

I assumed that even if buddy-roles were RNG'd that Amoeba would have stepped in and not made scum the protected target of a buddy-protection, since it'd have made the game really unbalanced.

Welp.
