Mini Theme 1588 - FTL: Faster Than Light - Game Over!

[Juls]

Reck, Juls, you guys have a good time lynching my role pm?

I was pretty pissed.

You'll get over it. Hint: your goal isn't to not get lynched, it's to help town win. Your role looked completely wrong.

Reck, Juls, you guys have a good time lynching my role pm?

I was pretty pissed.

What did your role pm actually say? Because what you flipped isn't what you claimed in thread.

[Juls]

Sometimes I just wish people would listen to me more often.

I sheeped you...even pre-sheeped you

[Formerfish]

I was more so talking about Pasch not killing Beli.

[Juls]

Hey angry town people...we win. Be happy! We were almost perfect on lynches.

Is there a dead thread?

[hitogoroshi]

Yeesh. That was not a fun scumteam to be having. I hate bussing but Venrob commited my chief scumtell and anyone who meta'd me would instantly know I was scum with him for not going for it. I tried my best to protect Jarg and kind of succeed (she has suspicion but it was deflected mostly) but then myko repped in and got fragged like instantly.

I like that our roles were two VT and a godfather (with no investgative abilities? unless Anatole was an investigator I guess) who couldn't kill unless we were both dead, against townies BP to each of one of our kills, a vig, a doctor, and whatever Anatole was.

How exactly did Reck win? It's not in the RAW; and leveraging his survivor role was a part of my plan for most of the endgame.

Still, fun enough game. I think I'm finally getting a decent scum game going? But PoE, she is a harsh mistress.

As a result, they can be very effective killing machines, whether they mean to or not - and you definitely mean it.

The idea for the two semi-bulletproof townies was that they'd be immune to a single method of Mafia kill - Espressojet to the Mantis attack and Belisarius to fire based killing. In Espressojet's case, in retrospect I wasn't quite clear enough with my language and I'm sorry about that.

[Juls]

Hito you got borked by the early lynches and the clincher for me was you pushing a SK when it was not possible. But your super townieness early also bothered me cause I didn't like that you continued to live. So stop being so frigging townie!

[Belisarius]

I was more so talking about Pasch not killing Beli.

I think the consensus was that any vig should shoot me, Pasch acted correctly. Especially after Espresso's flip, I'd have been a massive liability in LyLo--duplicate roles aren't really a thing in current site meta. If he hadn't shot me, he would have shot someone else and we'd have hit endgame at the same time, but with a survivor list less conducive to a town win. So really, if Pasch had listened to you about

that

, we probably would have lost.

[Juls]

So espresso, look how different my role pm is to the rest. See why I pushed you? And abr took out the first 3 lines of his which made me further think you were lying (cause his looked like mine)

[xRECKONERx]

Yay! My play helped me survive. I scum read hito D1

[xRECKONERx]

Read hito as scum D1, thought I could bait him into a claim in the QT and then I could win with him, but he didn't take the bait, and I couldn't take the risk.

I purposefully started being scummy D2/D3 because I needed to stay alive after I was on two different scumlynches. Unfortunately, that made it obvious hito was scum. I wanted to win with him so bad

The stuff you knew but didn't know made me really suspicious. It would have been really hard for me not to shoot you. Almost out of just self-defense. And I stand by by the decision to kill Albert. He was so divisive that he'd have been a big liability at the end. Fitz was just me, though. Feel free to disagree over that one.

[Paschendale]

This game was fun!

[Juls]

Well I knew I read you different. I couldn't place it. That's why I thought you were SK. All I knew is you weren't scum and you were too excited to be town ( at least for what i know of you)

[Juls]

I would have killed fitz too. That's part of why I was so unsure cause when I replaced in I had planned on pushing fitz.

[Espressojet]

Reck, Juls, you guys have a good time lynching my role pm?

I was pretty pissed.

What did your role pm actually say? Because what you flipped isn't what you claimed in thread.

I claimed semi-bulletproof townie

I flipped semi-bulletproof townie

[Juls]

You flipped Combatproof Federation Ensign, not Federation ensign

[Anatole Kuragin]

I was going to track Hito N1 (

gg guys!

ABR you are my hero.

[Albert B. Rampage]

Good job, Anatole.

[Anatole Kuragin]

This was a fun game and I love the FTL flavor, Bella. Wish I would have lasted longer!

[Venmar]

It was fun, some of the bulletproofs and possible multiple kill flavors would have exploded my head if they happened though.

GG all around.

[T S O]

Well played, Town! I was particularly sad I had to replace out here.

Reck, how did you know hito was scum? I'm straight up admitting I didn't see it d1.

[Venmar]

Hito became progressively scummier as the game went on, his indepth feedback Day 1 kind of disappeared in the latter days. I already had a suspicion on him the day Mykonian was lynched.

[T S O]

Fair enough I guess, you'd know better than I, since I basically didn't read the game bar d1 + d4.
