Mini 1842: Pokemon Episode 6 Knocked Out

[JaeReed]

Hi Tere! Those cupcakes look amazing!

Yeah I'm wondering that myself, Impo.

Tere, what are your reads?

[JaeReed]

I think SS is doing a fair amount of posting? Frozen just has a high activity level in games so it ends up looking like she's carrying the slot. I think she just can't help but get involved.

I want my own slot lynched... that's a really awkward feeling, lol. I can't make sense of Maria at all.
Bella & lilith I think are both just busy, which makes them hard to read.
wisdom is looking like a tunneler and confbiaser. I had him as scum for it but I'm thinking it's NAI for wisdom.
Impo is always kinda awkward so your metadive on her would show that. She's less awkward as scum. Doesn't matter much though since iraon is in that slot and he is lynchbait as any alignment I think.

I'd probably want a wagon on Kamelot off the top of my head, but I wouldn't manage to get one from the looks of the reads in thread.

Why do people scumread naked votes?

[JaeReed]

lol hey wisdom. good job.

hey ckd, sorry you subbed in to get lynched, that kinda sucks

[JaeReed]

Hey guys! =)

Sorry you got lynched. I don't think it's too bad for town overall though. Lynched scum D1 and a VT D2, with the nightkill being on another VT. Town will need a leader I think because Frozen was kinda doing that? Kuroi, Firebringer, Titus, Road Kamelot, Shadow_Step I think are all ok types to take the helm if town?

[JaeReed]

lol

maybe it's a town jailkeeper + scum strongman? although I'd think they'd probably just strongman you N1 if that were the case. (also I still don't approve of having a town jailkeeper and a town tracker in the same game.)

Spoiler: spoiler spoiler

there is both in the game

[JaeReed]

My TR on the Maria slot was solely based off Jae's play. She's been compeletely useless.

<3 I wish I didn't have to replace out. But it is what it is I guess.

Spoiler:

I was actually terrified the whole time. It was my first time really rolling scum. BBT was really nice about my freaking out though. I'm glad I didn't screw the slot over because I was almost certain that I was being really obvious about it! So thanks for the compliment

[JaeReed]

Jk is negative utility because of the strongman. It can prevent bp maker by targeting cleafairy or mess with our tracker.
In favour of rolestopper > JK

Radja please get a better reviewer next time someone like mastin2

The jailkeeper can't prevent the evolving, because the Moonstone is ascetic.
He could block kills, the tracker or the smoker. 2 out of 3 of those are scum roles. So I disagree

Either way, my first priority is a fun game, which I think it is. There's too many variables to balance a game.
What if the Moonstone dies on day 1. What if the strongman dies on day 1. Both roles have a huge effect for scum/town. In the end, it's all about who plays the better game. So I don't mind having a game not right in the middle.

I mean that's par for the course I think with certain roles being in the game. There's just a lot of swing potential here that it's really hard to balance around. I think the main part is that the players have fun in the moment they're playing, regardless of the actual balance.

Like, even if the setup is unbalanced, I think so long as the players while they're in the game don't feel that way, then it's fine.

[JaeReed]

Radja what would happen if RK was targeted for the kill and also for the evolution the same night? She'd evolve and lose the 1 shot bp?

[JaeReed]

you did great, Jae, i also townread you

Spoiler:

You were one of the ones I was most scared of tbh. I was really stressing about you NOT pointing out anything about my vote on you when you pointed out everyone elses as bad. It was really scary being up against people I knew to be really good scumhunters.

Not even sure if that should be in spoiler really but yeah...

[JaeReed]

I know I shouldn't be laughing at this so hard but poor N_M struggling to make sense of Titus to fit with his gut town read is kinda hilarious to me. I don't think I've ever seen him visibly put this much effort into trying to understand someone before.

I can't believe Titus is still alive. Wisdom said it best.

titus can just post "im scum" in every post till endgame and people still wont lynch her because shes titus

[JaeReed]

Flames

[JaeReed]

Yayyyy Fire! <3

[JaeReed]

titus can just post "im scum" in every post till endgame and people still wont lynch her because shes titus

This has now been proven wrong btw

[JaeReed]

There is no happily ever after if scum font want to submit the kill it means they forfeit and lose. It's a town win.

nope because town don't want to lynch either

This. If both sides are too puss to kill then I honestly think they should both lose.

[JaeReed]

Meh, he did say he'd vote kuror if he was the one left alive.

[JaeReed]

Fire's probably gonna throw this on purpose tbh

[JaeReed]

I forgot I was supposed to be on scum's side because Maria replaced me >.> Meh, I still prefer town wins.

[JaeReed]

Well, at least FB isn't going to purposely throw it.

I was about to say I was ok with a loss so long as he put in the effort, then remembered, once again, that I was not town this game.

[JaeReed]

I played with MoI recently, actually. Questionable Content mafia. Wasn't his best game, though. I've seen him play in a Fire and Ice game too. Don't know what his scum play is like.

I think I want to take a break from playing mafia and just play when people ask me to come play. Maybe mod a bit. I find it more fun to listen to people rambling theory than actually play lately.

[JaeReed]

I wanted this to be done months ago to use it. :/

[JaeReed]

GG

And Fire, thanks for putting in the effort for lylo <3 I'm sorry for thinking you'd give it to Maria on purpose.
