I'm not sure what I would have done differently there. Maybe pre-assigned the body guard actions a priority of their own?

Honestly if i was going to try this type of a game I would let the scum master choose people on n0 and THEN assign abilities from a pool after the team is sorted out, initial pms can all be vanilla town.

try actually being scum in this game then.

I mean, look, do you disagree that 4 scum in a 13 player game is scum leaning? If so, we'll have to agree to disagree.

Do you disagree that scum having an extra kill every even night and a potential third kill on a night of their choosing in a game this small isn't scum leaning? If so, we'll have to agree to disagree.

If you guys had organized like town thought you should be to keep your team mate from dying d1, things would have gone a lot differently imho. You even had me to lean on trying to protect YT, because he was acting like he always does. :)

Oh, and yeah, YT could have cloned one of the kill abilities for a shot of that too, another kill.

While it's true there was a ton of protection to help counter that, they still have to be targeted correctly.

Honestly, I think the only reason we won was because you guys were lurking and demoralized at various points. Actual effort to move the vote on D1, actual effort on Chaos part instead of folding, etc would have changed things a lot.

Heck, you had a shot at victory still tomorrow if you just followed through with the flerp vote and got a kill off. You would just need to have been first in thread to vote for Flerp and game over.

I was yelling at IS in my head for pursuing that course of action this game day.

As opposed to what? You believe the better solution was a straight no-dunk? If flerp was the scum, isn't that basically game over?

I was positive Pig was the scum, so as opposed to dunking Pig. You were giving Pig an opportunity at victory.

Nature Abhors A Vacuum


It was definitely a game of scum missed opportunities.

*D1, just letting YT get lynched. We shouldn't have let that happen. ESPECIALLY because he got lynched right at deadline for saying things I am 99% sure I could find him saying in literally every game he has ever played in. Like shame on us for letting it happen but gosh dang, that would be like lynching pmom for claiming vt.

*Part of that is on me. I went from central time to eastern time and didn't update my computer's clock. A long day where I took a nap, woke up to do some work and thought "Oh I have plenty of time to do my work and then get to the thread" when it turned out, nope, I missed the deadline. That also moved me from a top poster to the bottom of the list which put me on the lurker radar.

*We then completely spaced on "Hey that lightning rod means KB wouldn't be the target of the jump." I don't know how three mafia vets like me, cpig, and bk all completely spaced on that, but.. yeah. KB would have been dead instead (maybe? I didn't look at the moddoc to see if a N2 kill would have hit him but I obviously would have gone to him instead of shima)

*I could have argued against KB's track, but I thought it over and there was no credible claim I could have come up with. I was going to be the lynch that day. I thought it prudent to just let the day end quicker rather than have my scumbuds try to chime in. I also had forgotten CPig's vig killed him, too, so that made my decision less than ideal.

*If Cpig could have gotten a kill off tonight after a flerp vote it was obviously a good chance of a scum win, but I don't blame him for just being done with the game at that point.

We had a tough time with all of the blocks and such but we also basically shot ourselves in the foot at every turn so hard to say we didn't blow this one.

I recruited Cecil because I figured "Cecil is probably a good town flavor" and then Edge and Kain because they were wrestlers (well, kane, whatever)

The vote on me Day 1 was completely bizarre. I now and forever think that D1 lynches are absolutely terrible and cannot imagine changing from that stance. I find D1 maddeningly boring because I'm simply not playing a game of Mafia for what D1 is.

When Jam posted accusing me, I basically told the scum disco to bus me straight away. There were enough players that didn't know me well that if I stuck to my normal stance I'd die and there were enough players that know me very well that if I had changed my tune it would have been blindingly obvious that I was scum.

Given the alternatives I figured dying D1 was probably the best way to go as opposed to giving away information to you, Hal or CCKeane who I reckon would have spotted my change in disposition.

Most importantly coming off FFV Mafia I just didn't want to have another set of days slapfighting with Jam. I can honestly say that even as town I would have done the exact same thing and had myself killed.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
Flavor wise there are three white mages in The After Years. Three. Plus Edward is also a primary healer. There's also three black mages, five (5!) ninjas, and a whole host of other random things you don't need that many of.

Jammy, what was your plan with your bus drive had Pig not been scum? Swap yourself with flerp?

It makes a lot more sense now why you were okay with voting today if you assumed I would doc myself (which I couldn't, by the way)

I was hella WIFOMing the last day about my busdrive. I had to figure out if you could protect, because I was still 99.99% sure you were town and I didn't wanna gently caress you up. If we lynch CPig and he's town, and you would have agreed to target me with your ability, I knew scum flerp would have to target you, especially if you were forced to target me because you couldn't target yourself. I didn't want him to know what my ability was exactly so he couldn't counter me. I would then swap either you and me so you get protected, or swap scum back to scum, not sure how it would have worked honestly, I was gonna figure it out during the night.

Mithross, would it have been possible for me to redirect scum kill back to itself? I know I could redirect flerp to me if I knew he was targeting IS, correct?

I wouldn't have declared outright that I was going to protect you because I couldn't target the same player consecutive nights. However, you were hinting at a valuable enough role that I would have protected you anyway, whether I could self-target or not.

I think giving up was the worst thing scum did. Do many votes could have been derailed, and baring the lightning rod N1, the scum actually rallied pretty strong D2/N2 with 4 town deaths (1/3 of the remaining players!)

The track was obviously super fortunate, and it's a shame it was the Godfather too, but the cop was dead so that didn't matter much. I think once we were down to 5, IS, flerp and I all thought it was CPig and BK, so I'm glad we didn't over think it and gently caress it up.

I know there's not much to go on D1, but I don't think it's fair to completely discredit my case, even if it was mostly gut / intuition. Putting in effort in addition to my ability to persuade the town is what led to the lynch. It wasn't from sheer chance or bad luck you got lynched YT, it was a concerted effort. That doesn't mean I was completely right, but I was right enough and got enough support.

preface all my posts with this
I far prefer discord to gsheets. Sure, they probably can't be preserved as well, but I'm so much more willing to use discord all the time, especially on my phone, compared to gsheets where I really can't.

Sorry about me disappearing on this game. I really got demoralized and disengaged pretty hard. I need to stop signing up for role madness games; they just aren't fun for me.

Also, I'm just gonna take a break from mafia in general for a while.
