Situation Room [Game Over!]

[Menalque]

I hated this game with an absolute fucking vengeance but that’s probably clear to anyone who read the scum PT

I’ve received one request based on this game to avoid people in future, oka if you feel the same way let me know, offer extends to anyone else who found me unbearable but I hated this game so much, I think maybe more than perpetual mylo even but it’s close

Other than [games with RC] I don’t think I can recall I game I enjoyed less in broad strokes

Dusa, saw you mention me, you were fun, thanks for being respectful of the alt, I have a guess for who you are too!

[Menalque]

Feel like we’ve played before and it hasn’t been as much of an issue? Idk I think specifically it was a problem given the neighbourhood element plus just honestly I found the scumteam incredibly exasperating, although it sounds like at least a couple of them felt the same way about me so *shrug*

[Menalque]

I feel like we’ve definitely played in more than that but maybe they weren’t opens? Or maybe it was when I was a sweatier tryhard who was less opposed to leashing and more attached to win %

[Menalque]

That sounds like an accurate summary of the contrast in our views. I think it would cause less problems in non-neighbourhood games tbh, I mean, I’d still absolutely fight you in the leashing and if I had a PR would do whatever I wanted but I think it wouldn’t lead to the fights that happened here/contribute to the total nixing of my enjoyment this game (which wasn’t you, but was a lot of things and not being able to fuck around with neighbourhoods was definitely part of it)

Might have been on alts tbf

[Menalque]

Idk if this setup is scumsided or not townsided but I think it’s not enjoyable for scum and that makes it de facto townsided regardless of what the like ~objective~ balance is

[Menalque]

Said this already but there should absolutely be nights upon lims because expecting scum to play 5 days back to back without rest is just totally fucking exhausting

[Menalque]

I think your numbers are borderline delusional, bingle

[Menalque]

I think there is approximately a 0% chance that scum win anything like 70% of games if you run this 100 times

[Menalque]

I might just stop playing mafia tbh

Like I’m trying very hard not to rant. I should probably go to sleep.

Spoiler: In which ranting happens anyway

I’m so tired of the scumgames I’ve been getting. Even the wins have been exhausting. And there have been too many like this where half the team just disappears or doesn’t want to talk or do anything and so every issue on play levels is then exacerbated. There’s also the fact that playing scum is so fucking horrible on site at the moment and such an absolute chore that I think there is a general tendency that’s growing to just phone it in because... why bother? Like what’s the point? I poured a lot into this game despite how miserable it was because of some notion of sportsmanship or that scum should *try* and it just felt impossible. I’m not saying I didn’t fuck up — I wanted to experiment with playing v differently to what I’d normally do as scum (play for pocketing the people I know well, aim for the easier mislims) — because I did but like. The level of effort it would have taken to still probably lose this was just

Who would do that? Like how masochistic would you have to be?
