@titus: gj to fight through it, you played well in a tough spot. I think you and trans should have shot me though, since I'd made it clear I was protecting jae and you'd role copped me doc (unless trans was bsing there).

Regardless of balance concerns, everyone played their individual games very well. Enjoyed watching/doing a tiny bit of backup modding.

TBH, I went with Transcend assuming the heal would be someone else. I probably misunderstood that as I did change the kill there.In post 1845, mhsmith0 wrote:I'm pretty sure the thing VW did to get modkilled was the avatar bit btw.

The one kill there did not change the number of lynches and gave us a fighting narrative.
The fact Transcend made this close is a testament to his skill and sportsmanship.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx

Making the kill on Jae actually probably gave mafia more of a fighting chance. If they killed mhsmith0, Jae would then out the guilty on Titus and she'd have a much slimmer path to escape from that.
Either way though, with the backup Gunsmith, mafia was in a lot of trouble today. The only way to come into the final day with a good chance was killing VWXYZ, and that wasn't something they considered for obvious reasons.we're all made of stories | remember to take your b12 | sign up for a GTKAS thread!

Transcend had the better towncred and was needed longer. My job was to set him up, and be expendable.

You're welcome. My biggest tip for you is to slow down and step back. Even in that scenario, we had a long as fuck shot of winning if we turned the game into a 2 v 2. There's always an argument. It may not likely work but make them and you'll learn how to read people better as scum. Sometimes, you even win.

Also I remember a comment about BG/Doc
Saying BG is more powerful than Doc is wrong. Both have their uses. Doc can buy lynches but are prone to no-kill WIFOM. BGs can be used to confirm one of the BG's townreads.<Embrace The Void>

Bgs are virtually never better than docs. Anyone who actually thinks bg > doc in all but EXTREMELY rare situations simply has no idea what they're talking about.Showhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0

Anyway, this game was fun. Possibly a touch town sided, but town PRs were generally pretty weak, and scum had a good amount of investigative power, so I don't think that it was especially town sided. Town PRs generally made very good use of abilities, and scum didn't do a good job with night shots. and MS meta is that if both those things happen, town will win.Showhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0

Yeah Jae played tracker very well. Some luck/swing in that, more than sidedness I htink.
FWIW I think town would have been pretty salty if the doc hit scum without crumbing n1 and cost town a mislynch with very little useful power left over, and/or if scum role copped tracker n1 and got an easy N2 shot there. There were definitely ways for town to get screwed here I htink.Showhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0

An interesting note from public balance discussion:
In post 0, Hoopla wrote:I see a lot of people making comments about the balance of a game after its finished, usually with the result dictating whether or not it was fair for either side, but you can't judge one game without looking at the whole picture. And the whole picture says we're giving mafia too much power, and town not enough. Collectively our instincts for what is balanced in a 13 player game is still wrong.
Personally, I think power distribution shouldn't deviate too far from this:
3 Goons-3 Strong PowersOR4 Middling to Strong Powers
2 Goons, 1 Mafia PR-4 Strong PowersOR5 Middling to Strong Powers
1 Goon, 2 Mafia PR's-5 Middling to Strong PowersShowhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0
