Well, at least I was right about a serial killer. Fake Claim SK was more likely than Vig/SK, so my thoughts that it was Pine was purely game setup related, nothing personal. I shall keep the Vig/SK possibility open for future games though. There were a lot of power roles this game.

[Theta Alpine]

oh so that explains why we did not have 3 kills night 2
huh
yeah this game was definitely balanced around an active sk

p-edit
all the logbooks are unlocked as well

[Pine]

N3
Ausuka shoots Firebringer and rolestops Archwing (Firebringer dies)
Firebringer has not submitted
Theta Alpine tracks Mulch (Mulch went nowhere)
Pine shoots Ausuka (Ausuka dies)
Archwing jails Ausuka (fails)
northsidegal hides behind Mulch

Wow. Ausuka rolestopping Archwing got her killed.

[Mulch]

??? Why would a rolestop stop a jailkeep??

[Firebringer]

Ausuka is Ascetic

[Pine]

Oh right, the jailkeep wouldn't have mattered anyway. Only her commute could have saved her.

My replace out had nothing to do with my alignment

My replace out had nothing to do with my alignment

Regardless, lynching day one replaceouts is a valid strategy, and figuring out the motives of each individual player is problematic and difficult.

[Inferno390]

GG all. Any play suggestions?

[Ausuka]

If I commuted I think I just lose the game anyway 100% except it takes longer to conclude. There were 3 clearing roles. I had to start getting rid of them. Once they confirmed me as ascetic (fb and Theta) that was equivalent to a guilty anyway. The rolestop on Archwing is because that was the only other person I thought Pine could have shot.

GG town. I think this is the fairest result.

[Archwing]

GG all.

[profii]

I was way too inactive and felt a bit overwhelmed by 20p game. I think I'll stick to the low teens and less in future. Apologies all - I didn't bring my best to this game.

well done town though, did not peg RF as the traitor, so some really good scum hunting going on - I recall mulch was pretty much on the money very quickly.

[Gamma Emerald]

This game was such a stomp for town

[Theta Alpine]

yep
my first win as town as well as my first game where town won

also the whole redflavor is not important thing was an attempt at a crumb
and also because a did not go anywhere does indicate that the target is not as likely to be scum as someone else
of course since they were a traitor they were never going to be able to do an action at all

Traitors can NK if all other group Scum have died...

[Ausuka]

...no, they can't?

[Gamma Emerald]

It's not the normal thing

[Archwing]

Like, town ROLLED this game. But i don't really know if it was a cohesive, rolling town, or if scum caved too quickly.

I think that I hard time reading profii correctly. texcat was only confscum due to egg... otherwise I kinda was TR-ing her.

[Gamma Emerald]

I feel like this was deserved by town, but yeah the SK death was kinda stupid.

I wondered if you were traitor ha

[Egg]

Guys I blatantly crumbed that I was hiding with UC, confirmed I was still doing so when mulch replaced him, and then crumbed my innocent and nobody noticed any of it. At least you got texcat though. That was the important one.

Congratulations to the victors!

The game has drawn to a close, the jig is up! Some of you have lost, but others have won!

Take a few days, think about the game. Recognize what was best in your teammates and opponents, and consider nominating them for a Scummy! Players and mods in this game may be eligible for one of the following awards:

BODY OF WORK AWARDS

Best Mafia Catcher

: Also known as the Paragon of Mafia Hunters, this award is given to the single town player who, across all of their games for the year, exhibited the best ability for nailing those dirty scumbags and bringing the bad guys to justice while playing as a pro-town role.

Rising Star

: This award is given to the player that is a rising star in the game of mafia, showing great promise to join the elite echelon of mafia players. This award replaces both the Best Newbie award and Most Improved Player awards, and judges may consider elements of both those previous awards in deciding this award.

Excellent Moderation

: Also known as the “The Modfather” Award. This award is given to the moderator who, over the course of the past year, exemplifies the best qualities of a moderator in the operation of the game, including but not limited to quality and frequency of vote counts, organization of the game, dealing with issues that arise, keeping players active, and so forth. Judges may consider how challenging the games a moderator ran were, but they shall not penalize a moderator for only running more basic games. A mod must run at least 3 games to completion in the calendar year to be considered for this award.

SINGLE GAME - PLAYER

Most Cunning Manipulator

: Also known as the “Don Corleone” Award. Awarded to the player who has the strongest single game performance as mafia. In rare cases, where a player feels an entire scumteam gelled to create a strong cohesive scum performance, multiple members of a team may be nominated.

Best Performance Third Party

: Also known as the “Hannibal Lecter” Award. Awarded to the player or players that performed the most impressively in winning their game as a third party.

Most Memorable Event

: Also known as the “Kodak Moment” Award. Awarded to the player or players who were involved in the most memorable event in a game of mafia. Fake claims, funny claims, awesome exchanges, etc. may all be considered for this award

SINGLE GAME - MODERATOR

Best Setup

: Also known as the “Rube Goldberg” Award. Given to the moderator who designed the best setup. Judges may consider the roles involved in a game, how those roles interacted, how balanced a setup was, whether it furthered any particular theme, how the setup interacts with a mechanic, or any other factors the judges deem relevant. This award is distinct, however, from the “Best Mechanic” award in that it does not consider how good or bad any change to the basic way a Mafia game is played.

Best Flavor Text

: Also known as the “Paperback Writer” Award. Given to the moderator who wrote the most compelling flavor text. Judges should consider the flavor text of all parts of the game, including Role PMs and Day/Night scenes. Where appropriate, Judges may consider how well the flavor works with the announced theme.

Best Mechanic/Mutation

: Also known as the "Mad Scientist” Award. Given to the moderator who figured out the most compelling way to change the basic mechanics of the game of mafia, and/or created the most compelling new role or adaptation to increase player enjoyment. Judges shall consider both the basic idea behind the game as well as how well it was executed, and the uniqueness and quality of the role/adaptation.

SITE AWARDS

Game of the Year

: Also known as the “Player’s Choice” Award. This award is given to the moderator of a game. It is given in recognition of the overall excellence of a game. The Game of the Year award is a "catch all" award for the best overall game throughout the entire year, considering all aspects of the game from moderator quality, to the excellent design and composition of the game, to the performance and cohesion of the playerlist. A Game of the Year is meant to be the game that we can all point to later and say "This game was the best game the site could offer that year in terms of Design, Playerlist, and moderating capability." This is a PUBLIC VOTE. [/color]
