Mini #1647: Eine Kleine Nacht-Mord, Game Over

[Untrod Tripod]

but i didn't because i'm dumb.

you're not dumb, but I really don't understand why you had such a hard-on for insulting me

you actively derailed the game with that bullshit

[Green Crayons]

I want to say

That I drunk posted

For this game.

I didn't want to do it. I really didn't. But I needed some way to look frustrated and town.

The things I do for mafiascum.net.

[Green Crayons]

Also

"I never bus"

I something I say only as scum, apparently.

[Green Crayons]

Though I still really think bussing is bad as a general strategy.

But I can now see the temptation to do it. Man I just wanted to yell and scream that Derangement was scum.

But scum is probably my least favorite alignment draw. It feels so free to be town and ignorant of what's going on.

[Untrod Tripod]

you did great, GC

I always enjoy playing with you

After I saw the degree of trust onion put in you towards the end, I strongly considered scum"slipping" on purpose if things started to look like people might vote you.
That way you could help lynch me without regrets, and live on to likely win the ensuing 2v1.

That said, yeah, I'll take cooperation over bussing any day of the week, if it doesn't seem suspicious for the town persona you've been playing so far.
I cannot stress enough how thankful I was for your spectacular entrance.

It was a pleasure to be in your team.

[Green Crayons]

Right back atcha both.

[Equinox]

Well-played, scum. Kudos to Derangement for keeping the obvtown charade for as long as you did. Also, damn you for killing Cogito Ergo Sum. I'd been looking forward to playing with that guy for months.

LlamaFluff, I am really sorry for mislynching you.

Good game, everybody. This was one of the rare games that I found super enjoyable to play and later to watch, despite the activity levels. But then again, thank goodness for a slow game; that doesn't happen anymore.

Thanks for running this game, petroleumjelly!

also for a long time everyone was going on about some early town-tell from me, but for the life of me i don't know what it is. care to enlighten me?

What happened was something of a grey area. As Derangement said, your roommate wouldn't have given you guesses for the scum team if you were scum because you wouldn't have mentioned looking for scum. Your obliviousness to the nature of this tell after LlamaFluff caught it and the sheer genuineness of your reaction solidified my town read of you. A little later in the game, your obsession with the Right Way to Be Pro-Town reeked of a town mindset, even though it was kind of annoying to see sometimes.

[petroleumjelly]

Congratulations to the scum, and thank you all for playing (special thank you to those who replaced in, I truly appreciate it)! I apologize for the activity levels of the game, but beyond prodding and sending reminders for the start of each Day I fear it was largely out of my hands.

Willing to hear any complaints or criticism on moderation or set-up. Hope you all at least enjoyed the (now rare) night-start aspect and the extra information it gave to the start of the game. I hope night-starts can start trending again to give games more variety.

[Green Crayons]

I actually like night starts in theory, as it allows a bit of information for town to go off of on D1 and for respective sides/powers to have a bit of insight.

But games take so long to start as is, adding another 48 hours or so for a night cycle before players can even begin to play would be frustrating, personally.

This is generally why I tend to just replace into games these days, though, so that's my own personal preference.

[ChannelDelibird]

Oh man, I was just about to dive back into this and I definitely had those two at the top of my list but obviously never quite had the time to hammer that out properly. Well done, scum, who played a pretty good game. Activity, as ever, is important to town wins.

[Equinox]

Derangement and Green Crayons, what led you to make the kills that you did?

[Green Crayons]

I honestly thought you were another player when I recommended killing you.

A more thorough kill discussion is in the scum PT. I'm fine with PJ opening it up.

[Derangement]

There's a teensy thing in the scum PT that I'd rather not divulge, since I'm hoping to use it again in future games, so I'm looking into whether we can remove just those few posts, so you can enjoy the rest of the scum thread.

The gist of the strange NKs is that I expected people would suspect me if I lived too long without getting NK'd, so I tried to save the obvious NK targets for last.
This way people would have had time to get all of the wtf out of their system by the time we reached LyLo, instead of having the sudden paranoia fresh on their minds.

GIF's last post was possibly PR shenanigans.
I liked Equinox's play in the first day, since he seemed to be pretty on point, and inquisitive enough that I worried he might catch one of us over something subtle. So much so, that GC's suggestion made sense.

I think that at the time, my strongest town-reads were UT, who neither of us wanted to NK yet, and onion, who I wanted to keep around all the way to LyLo, in hopes that we could convince him to help us with the final mislynch.

[petroleumjelly]

Sorry for late release of the Mafia QT, here.

[Untrod Tripod]

holy shit, I had no idea my win percentage was that high

I pick games with good playerlists I guess!

[Untrod Tripod]

also, again, really fantastic jobs by GC and Derangement. you absolutely rolled us.
