The Thing Mafia - Game over!

[MathBlade]

VOTE: GoatMeal

MathBlade and I spoke over the phone. We want to do this for now. We think that the thread devolving into an us v Unipod Tripod shitfest is good for precisely no one as it won't get UT lynched and that's all he'll do if we keep voting him. Meanwhile, the Goatmeal wagon is voting organically, we both have concerns about DGB's lack of townposting. She looks a lot more like Wake's game than Gistou. We'd like to hear more from DGB and our townreads are pushing that wagon.

Fire, come join us.

I feel so guilty like not sticking this out

[MathBlade]

MoI is scum. Was scum with him in 1800. I was loud and boisterous. Here I am trying to learn and listen and MoI is trying to take advantage. He isn't actually trying to read me he is looking for a mislynch.

....And Andrius chainsaws. So sorry guys :/

Thanks for modding SirCakez! I enjoyed the game.

I'm on my phone so I won't read anything until I get back, but here are a few of my thoughts.

1. I played a poor game. My activity was awful and I'm surprised I stayed alive for as long as I did. It happened with DEFCON (admittedly to a lesser extent), and it's made me realize that it's probably time for me and mafia to part ways. I don't have the time anymore.
2. The plan was a double edged sword. It got me to the endgame and made night predictable for us. It also very much tied our hands based on who we felt confortable with killing. The advantage was that we had a stranglehold on the plan. Magna and Andy were powerhouses and stayed under protection, giving them a free pass from "why are you still alive" arguments, and we controlled much of the execution.
3. Andy bus could have been executed way better. We had discussed shedding Andy to propel us to a win and I think it needed more finesse, especially on my end.
4. My flagrantly poor Spiffeh case was, to some extent, done with knowledge of the likely outcome. I did it in the hopes of managing to swing a Spiffeh lynch and win outright, but I knew Spiffeh would likely call me out on it, I would flip scum, and UT would get lynched following that.
5. This was the best scumteam I have ever played with, hands down. Goatmeal and Toogeloo, you both had a short presence but were awesome to play and talk with in the scum thread. Andy, thank you for being dedicated and for injecting a lot of fun into the game. Magna, you're a god. You were there for all of us, supportive, consistent, and awesome. We weren't just a group of players with the same goal. We were a team in every sense of the word.
6. Some of us might have played poorer games than others, but I'm glad everyone was here. It was a slog at times but one of the greatest games I've ever played in. I met and got to know a lot of you for the first time, and you are all great. See you around, friends.

Aww, you are a sweetheart. Also this is goodanalysis.

I think activity is overrated - you can play a good game and have a life, just not possibly multiples of such. I enjoyed your play and would like to see you play again!

I think this game is a poster child for mafia is a team game regardless of the alignment you draw. I am glad the scum team had such a positive experience

[Transcend]

Tremendous come back scum.

[Transcend]

Pretty funny that we got lynched for quarantining mafia. Lol.

[DrippingGoofball]

Even though this was a Dream Scumteam I had rolled scum so often, and for so many long games, that I completely lost interest in mafia.

I have not signed up into any game since this one, because even now, if I rolled scum again, I just couldn't bring myself to play.

Good job MoI!

[Spiffeh]

Yeah I'm glad I've only rolled scum like 6-7 times since I've been on this site.

I HATE drawing scum let alone like 10-12 times within a year like you have DGB

[Tere]

I replace in a lot so it's at least 50 50. town is by far my preferred role though

Some words I have for people.

MOD

SirCakez, thanks for the game. I think the setup was smartly designed and the mechanic was interesting. Thanks for the effort and the dedication. I think that it was a very well thought-out setup in terms of balance and swing.

PLAYERS

drealmerz, you might have played a bad game but you're a very enjoyable player in my opinion. I'm glad I got to meet you through this game.

SpyreX, you're probably not reading this, but just in case you decide to sneak back into the site invisibly just to read the outcome of this game: you're a treasure. Sorry this game didn't treat you well, but it really was a fun time. You have a pleasant way with words.

Wraith, I appreciate your consistent dedication to the game. I had been slowly setting up to a Wraith scumread for days upon days and then the accursed plan made it so you ended up nightkilled.

UT, I'm also sorry that it was a slog for you near the end. If I ever play in a draft game again, I'll pick some ridiculously high number-- you've inspired me with your 69 pick.

Maria, it was fun, huh? Those lab days were good stuff. The time you said "okay, EP, you're probably town because I feel like you would have strongman killed me by now" was the night that I was considering killing you. In the end Magna and I decided to go with a safer Skybird kill.

Spiffeh, fuck you. Not really. It's been a while since I've won a game against you. I won History Mafia, you said I was a master manipulator back then. Then you did some training in the mountains or whatever and became a powerhouse. I lost Cheetory and Gumball and Defcon. Good times.

Thanks <3
I'll probably play again, even though it seems to me at the moment that mafia is the most disgusting thing in the world. It's a drug

Firebringer: As said in the Dead PT, IMO you played a pretty poor game due to being too self-absorbed. Like dreal, you thought you knew all the answers and refused to consider the opposing argument, a pattern throughout the game; but you at least don't have dreal's rather obnoxious posting style, so you have that going for you which is nice. That said though, lynching you D6 was by far my biggest mistake outside of not protecting Creature. I only really went along with it to appease Spiffeh and because I was just getting really tired of the game in general (since the waits between phases had become a true slog), and had been under the impression Spiffeh would finally get his head back together and help me solve the game. But still, that you were unrepentant about joining hands with a blatant scumbag is what ultimately killed you. I just don't get why you had that attitude. If we play again another time, hopefully that game can be a better experience.

in all honesty, my reads weren't that shitty.
A few times I mistook scum for town, but the only one I would say I was genuinely wrong about was drealmerz, and near end of day I was starting to pick up him being townie, but was too deep to go back.

But yeah, I don't know about self absorbed, I mean, I was? But so were you, so was Spiffeh. Like, the difference between us was I got lynched.

I def still think its crummy you faked a scum read on me to lynch me then the next day you go "Ohhh I knew he was town I was just doing it to satisfy Spiffeh", like so you lied. You lied about a scum read because you wanted to policy me.

But yeah, everything is pretty under bridge at this point.

IMO we both had bad moments.

I was also wrong about Spyrex, and MoI.

I think I had everyone else except at two different points I was positive Tammy was scum and later Spiffeh.

NOT AGAIN

[Gamma Emerald]

Pretty funny that we got lynched for quarantining mafia. Lol.

yeah
fu the idiots who let night actionanalysis stop real scumhunting

[Andrius]

That's not a fair statement given everyone contributed to the game state.
Its not like Spiffeh or I or Wraith lorded over everyone with THE PLAN. It was widely accepted and of course we used it to our advantage - I'm the one who drafted the first Humans' Reference.

It takes a village, and if you didn't do everything you could have done this game that's not the fault of the people who did.

Seriously

Me and GE lynched toog and goat before it was cool.

This hardly felt like a game of mafia.

[McMenno]

man I scumread andrius before it was cool amirite amirite

Spiffeh.
Would you prefer being KING SPIFFEH or PRINCESS SPIFFEH.
This is an important question.

[Spiffeh]

Princess is my preference
