I considered it briefly with setup
then I looked at wincons and totally ruled it out
then you claimed bulletproof and I just sat around pleased with myself
There are many many thrash bands that could be considered for the Big 4.
As a metal head, I was actually surprised this wasn't a multi ball setup.-

The best PR hunting was by accident when we killed Crimson
I actually found a post saying what I did about how the mechanically optimal kill was probably BS but I was quite happy to kill Crimson even though informed was probably his entire role because he'd need killing eventually
but I did spot the masons, BS' limitation, and bulletproof drew. So that's something. A lot of our night actions were just hedging bets, eg tracking BS the night we vanillaised him in case we got one of the other 2 people instead so we'd know who he targeted and thus have a safe kill target for the next night."As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle-

He usually never puts effort into reads like that, which does sometimes get him scumread, but since he was on an alt and we didn't know his meta, I can see CL!him making reads as an exception since he knows he'll probably be scumread otherwise.

Sorry Gobble. I really thought we could win this. The catch was the town needed to respect scum weren't going to vanillaize themselves early and just follow and finish my solve.
It just sucked we had the unforeseeable third party.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx
You're letting Titus win the game by herself.Good luck now I guess.You have no chance to win.~Tywin

Well, well, headbangers. The fight has come to an end. With that last Non-Metallica SHRED, the evil Metallica members have solidified their position as the greatest Thrash Metal band in history. As a Megadeth lifer, this pains me deeply. The reunion tour never should have happened. We lost many great musicians.
Give it up for your winning Scum Team!

But wait! There's more! While the American Big Four were so wrapped up in their own problems they never even noticed the foreigner among them. We have a winning survivor as well, hailing from the Great White North.

We got incredibly lucky on vanillaizer targets btw

I love all kinds of music, but metal is my home. I just wanted to bring the fun of the Big Four nostalgia to a Mafia game. I personally hate getting stuck being VT, there's just nothing to do, so I wanted to make a game where no one would have that feeling...initially. I think I'm in the minority with that thinking, as I know many people enjoy being just a normie town. So role madness is a thing, but I really liked the mechanic of a vanillaizer when I saw it on the wiki. I thought it would be a nice excuse to make no one vanilla and throw in the possibility to become one. Having a vanillaizer just choose their person seemed too powerful and uninteresting. So the RNG part of the role came to me. I like the use of chance in games, it adds an element that no one can control. I made the vanillaizer Lars Ulrich since it made sense flavor wise. Lars gets shat upon for being not a very good drummer, or at least a pretty boring one. Exhibit A So I thought it would be funny if he couldn't control his power, like he can't control his drum sticks irl.
Of course, this was the main mechanic on which the setup was based. I then found other fun connections that only really made sense for those who understood the Big Four Flavor. David Ellefson being Super Saint because he became super religious, Dave Mustaine being a miller since he was in both Metallica and Megadeth, Dave Lombardo being a double voter because he is known as the Godfather of the Double Bass etc. I tried to make a game that I would enjoy being a part of.
Our problems arose with the incredible amount of replacements. I think our final total was 11! This really got me a bit flustered and brought the game to many stand-stills. If this hadn't happened I think we would have had a very different game.
This, along with the general apathy I felt from some players kept us from what I think is a really fun setup.
Now to talk about the 3p stuff. As you all saw I'm sure, Creature was a big fan of this role being in the game. I think a secret 3p or a public 3p work in different ways for different reasons. In this game, I didn't want the 3p to be known. The point of the flavor was for the Big Four to be so engrossed in their own shit to even know that there was something else happening around them. They were only a survivor, I would understand the spite surrounding a secret, killing 3p. But all they had to do was live. If you know me, you know I love a good 3p, if you don't, well now you do. I advertised as Baker-Level Bastard, which even if you don't know what that means, you should be able to deduce that probably some odd shit is gonna be occurring. This setup was very odd, but I tried to make it as fun as possible.
Now for where I call out my own shit.
I made a few mistakes, I truly am sorry about that. First, I wasn't present at times as much as I wish I was. I was much busier than I thought I was going to be, but that isn't really an excuse. As a mod I should always be present for game-related issues/occurrences, especially game ends and starts. Second, on a few occasions I answered questions that I probably shouldn't have answered. So many people had questions about the vannilazer mechanic, from both sides, so I wanted to make sure people got all the info I could give. In the end though, just answering them gave away too much. That wasn't fair to the whole game as I was technically giving more information to some players than others, I am sorry. This was my first big game, and I was super nervous throughout the whole thing which led me to make silly mistakes like this. I just wanted everyone to be happy.
Also, the scum team should not have gotten to know who they vanillaized/if it was successful. I realized this on D2 but felt that since I had already done it once, it would be unfair to change during the game. In hindsight this gave the scum team a lot more info, leading to a lot more power.
Anyway, I hope you all were able to derive some fun/happiness from this game throughout all of the replacements and mishaps. I just want to give people a place to play this awesome game that we all love, and put my own twist on it of course.
Finally, the matter of the Golden Baguette. As I don't have my materials for the award ceremony, since I am still out of town, I will announce this the day after I get back, which will be this Saturday the 4th. But I can say that it will most likely be going to a very special Canadian Thrasher.
Thank you all for playing Big Four Mafia! A part of the growing Bakerverse. Thank you for sticking through all the lull-times-daddies, and thank you to everyone who replaced in, without you I don't know where we would be. Probably D2. This has been a earning experience for me, so thank you for enduring the misteps. I hope to bring you all even better games in the future. Look out for Twice Baked Wrestling, coming to a territory near you!
