Open Role 5: Switch Mafia. Over. - before 384

[Mr Stoofer]

Yay! My first win since returning to mafiascum! Well done team mates.

Yosarian2 and Kelly Chen have said all that needs to be said about the set-up and the mafia's luck. It's fair to say that we didn't know that ShadowLurker was the cop, but in fact we didn't really care so long as we had all our switches alive.

I didn't realise that Yosarian2 introduced the rule that a mafiate can't switch and kill on the same night. As a matter of fact it wouldn't have made a difference to this game but it would have been even more unfair on the town if we could have switched off all 3 power roles.

Thanks very much to Yosarian2 for modding.

Yipee! I must say this was an unbalanced setup though (with my budding experience in reading setups.) Basically, if we had left the SK alive it would have been different. But town leaving the SK alive = bad for town. Weird.

I almost revealed myself with that vote, I was hoping someone would hammer. KC was doing a good job of distancing herself, even if I'd gotten myself killed, it wouldn't have been that bad a loss. Stoofer I'm not so sure, I must say I'd have lynched lowell if I was town, thinking lowell was scummy.

I seem to win way more often when I'm scum... wonder why.

Three things:

1) This game was VERY unbalanced in favor of the scum. Unless I'm reading it wrong, the scum could turn off the cop and vig every single night, right? This game was basically vanilla other than the SK??

2) That is IN NO WAY the reason the scum won. Town was bad bad bad (beginning with me) and the scum were better. On that pivotal 3-way vote on day 2 (IH, Relyte, Rom), NONE of the votes were on scum...

3) MVP:

Kelly

. Did ANYONE suspect her of being scum???

[Kelly Chen]

I think ShadowLurker might have had some doubts (tried to investigate me)...

[Mr Stoofer]

Oh...

I get it.

Asshats.

There's some discussion going on in the open nomination thread.

Yes, I agree, it was unbalanced. The scum could turn off 2 of the 3 power roles each night. The SK could turn them back on, though, which I guess might have been useful if the SK was desperatly trying to prevent a scum win. Really, the biggest thing the town had going for it was 3 safe claims, and the fact that if they did manage to lynch a scum early it would allow the pro-town roles to be much more active.

I was planning to go after Kelly today but I died.



Releyte and Lowell should've never even been considered for a lynch and a no lynch today was also probably a good idea. =/

[Relyte]

I had considered Kelly, especially when she tried to follow in IH's plans to lynch me... but knowing Kelly she could somehow turn it on me.

[Kelly Chen]

Aw man, you know I don't do that.
