Mini 2084: Pokemon Ruby Mafia - Game Over

[Detective Pikachu]

We got him to L-1 and then got confused on the vote count and then Firebringer started saying silly things iirc

[RadiantCowbells]

I voted fire because I wanted to survive more than I wanted a high chance of lynching scum

[EspressoPatronum]

Firebrand*

[Chemist1422]

I'll just not play with chemist because he refuses to play the game as either alignment and makes the game worse for everyone else and I'm done trying to read him

gg town

Really unsure why we didn't lynch Menalque after that disgusting push on Gamma but I didn't even vote him at the time so idr what exactly happened.

i mean this is definitely my issue to fix and not yours, so don't feel like me being in games means you don't have to join them

basically what I'm trying to say is I don't wanna stop you from doing anything you wanna do so if you really wanna play a game but I'm in it and you don't want to play with me just PM me and I can out

[Creature]

Creature how did you know I was scum from so early?

Initially I sheeped Tim/RC but then I noticed the way you were playing here was vastly different from your town game.

[RadiantCowbells]

in fairness i probably won't be joining many (any?) games anymore

Ahh, well, fair. I’m trying to get my meta all fucked up so people can’t read me that way. I knew it was a risk to depart wildly for the first time from the little meta I had as scum but ah well

[Menalque]

+1 on enjoying the flavour btw

Why is this a goal for you?

[EspressoPatronum]

Just finished reading the maf thread - it was some good stuff! DP was probs the right kill once he was conf!town, but I agree with pretty much everything else you guys did. Well played.

Mena's last moments were too good btw XD

[EspressoPatronum]

I tried to flavour my neighborhood thread, but I forgot about it once Gamma joined.

[Menalque]

I don’t want to be readable from my meta, mostly cause I prefer scum atm and apparently my town game is naturally obv towny in a way I think I’d struggle to consistently replicate as scum

[Menalque]

Why, do you think it’s a bad idea RC?

[Chemist1422]

+0.5 because everyone was a trainer and not an actual pokemon

I recall reading somewhere that sandbagging your town meta to mask your scum meta is bad play.

Better to just work on your scum meta as much as you can.

[RadiantCowbells]

Trying to be unreadable by meta means changing your play as both alignments sounds an awful lot like sandbagging your town game to conceal your alignment as scum.
Furthermore, it's not going to have the intended goal unless you're okay just being -pretty good- as scum. Truly unreadable players who aren't coming across as towny just get lynched eventually.
What I'm saying is that it's in my opinion against the spirit of the game, it's sort of a dead end in terms of how far it'll get you as scum, it's going to hurt your town game, and just generally there's better ways to do things.

If you come across as towny as both alignments, you won't have the same -meta issues- and you'll have a scum skillset that will continue being useful once people catch on to your playstyle.

This is... useful, and I’ll think about it.

Thank you.

[Detective Pikachu]

Some people avoid the problem by alting a lot

I can't think of who though

[RadiantCowbells]

I wouldn't say I alt a lot.

[Detective Pikachu]

I was referring to myself

[Cojones Kickers]

wait, you’re an alt DP?

[Menalque]

wait, you’re an alt DP?

[Detective Pikachu]

I sure am :3

[RadiantCowbells]

[chennisden]
