NY 163: Void Mountain of the Nightless Temple (Game Over)

[mastin2]

I see that my other head has created some... controversy and seems to have trouble appeasing the accusations from... this head's townreads.

This is the Amished tell, only instead of it being for a replacement, it's for the other head of the hydra.

Town hydra in this situation? In their QT, "*partner name*, what the hell have you done?"
Scum hydra in this situation? In-thread, "*partner* screwed up, so I must save them."

[mastin2]

well that's awkward

I actually thought I was town

And now you know why the scumteam lost:
Every damn member forgot or didn't know their scumbuddies, in HD's case even forgetting he was scum at all.

Seriously, if you read the dead QT:
-I knew HD was scum, but he was the ONLY scum partner I remembered. I legitimately thought KBW was town. Knowing HD was scum, I guessed that I

might

have accidentally bussed one of my partners between DGB, MO, Jennifer, and Syryana (off of his baiting me to vote 'em), but I had absolutely no clue which one it was. (Well, as it turned out, two. )

-Nero forgot his scumbuddies as well.

-Syryana never bothered to learn scumbuddies.

-Jennifer at times forgot who was scum.

-And HD flat-out forgot altogether he was scum, which by necessity means he forgot who his scumbuddies were.

Seriously, our entire team had no clue who else was on our team.
And you guys thought we had some sort of strategy with regards to bussing or not bussing. You guys thought we had some masterful discussion about gambits or plans, and that we reacted certain ways because we knew certain things.

Nope! We had no clue the entire time.

Anyway, if you read the dead QT, you'd see my entirely-accurate paraphrase of it, but here is our scum QT.

[mastin2]

Did I not include your partners in the PMs?

Actually, you didn't.

Greetings.

You are the Mafia Goons in this game.

Before the game begins you may talk among yourselves to plan strategies and the like Here.

You win when the mafia equal or exceed the town, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

If you have read and understood your role, please confirm by PM by restating your role name.

Nowhere in the PM did you name our scumbuddies.

Yeah, you used a mass-PM, but it's not like I actually looked at the names you had PM'd. (In fact, to this very day, I haven't looked at the names you sent it to--it's such an unnatural place to look for scumbuddies that I can't even make myself look there.) I didn't even notice. I thought you had just done a send to Nero, myself, and our hydra; I didn't realize how many names you had sent them to.

From a scum perspective, this was incredibly sub-optimal play, considering that for each scum lynch they needed to, on average, setup more than two town lynches.

WHAT DO YOU THINK I WAS RANTING ABOUT IN THE DEAD QT?



Like, seriously. One of my first messages in the scum QT was, "guys, if we want to win this, we NEED to not bus".
...We bussed like hell.

Like, seriously. There's pretty much no scum lynch without AT LEAST one scum member. (I'd have to check, but it's possible one or two of our scum lynches had THREE scumteam members on it. Ours had no less than two.) Let me check.

[mastin2]

Underachivers - Robocopter, Klick, Human Destroyer, Arcangel, keybladewielder, Jennifer
keybladewielder - DrippingGoofball, Antilles, RachMarie, Otterhorse, Titan, TheLurker, Underarchivers (L-2)

On our wagon--HD, KBW, and Jennifer.
On KBW's wagon--Syryana's slot and us.

Can't get worse bussing than that.

DrippingGoofball - Titan, DCLXVI, Underachivers, Jennifer, Bulbazak
Underachivers - DrippingGoofball, Human Destroyer, zdenek, BBmolla, Syryana, Metal Overlord

On us, HD and Syryana.

Syryana - BBmolla, Human Destroyer, Arcangel, DCLXVI, DrippingGoofball (L-2)

On Syryana, HD. And later,

Syryana - BBmolla, Arcangel, DCLXVI, RainbowDash, Jennifer, Syryana, Nachomamma (LYNCH!)

Bussing so bad that Syryana was even there! Jennifer present, too. HD was absent, but earlier presence on the wagon gives you an idea for how that went.

Jennifer - Nachomamma, Metal Overlord, zdenek, BBmolla, Human, DCL (LYNCH!)

And yet again, Jennifer was bussed by Human Destroyer.

Seriously, we lynched ourselves.
