I was against the first 3 town lynches. Lol.
He didn't replace out of every game. I was in like 3 or 4 games with him.

Advice I gave about this game applies to your game as well. All your responses for why you are not Scum were "I'm Town tho" which is not going to be something a good mafia player is going to say.In post 2698, Srceenplay wrote:Thanks for the game Fire.
I'm disappointed that I was lynched. It was fun trying to talk everyone out of lynching me.
I know I'm not great and can improve. I'm open to hear anything but if it's just "your an idiot" you can keep it to yourself pleas.
Articulation only helps your game and never hurts it. you don't need to make wall posts, but you do need to provide rational for why you are Town and why X is Scum or Y is Town. Sometimes I just state a read naked, but that is because I know people are either going to see what I am seeing or they are going to ask. I am actually always counting on them asking. If they don't then I can use that against people who contradict my read later if they don't provide their reasons for Scum reading a player I said was Town. This is kinda an advanced play that you can only do if people usually depend on you to explain things.I was anything worse than you! Anything worse than you was I!

Cross-bussing was the right play to make because we were both heavily townread by the town. It makes it hard to believe that neither of us are dying and it's the kind of thing that gets extra townpoints in the end-game (and would be a big part of why you eventually won).In post 2605, LaLight wrote:I've made quite a lot of work hardbussing rb and stuff, and I really don't think my play was any good
I think your play was fine - you got townread heavily by some people, you bussed me early on and you also used the scumchat with your buddies to make sure you were all on the same page and working well as a team.

Thank, man. I really appreciate that. I have noticed somethings are just sorta starting to click for me. It is all that hard work I have done to work on the basics is what I attribute it to. Golden rule being don't make up BS reads (even as Scum) and look for Scum hunting. I was a pretty throw away player when I first started, I will admit that. Who the fuck gets mod killed in their first two games and ends up being a decent player? God I feel like such a special snowflake right now, its embarrassing. My game has been pretty on point lately, but my reads this game were pretty horrendous. I guess it really is true that the longer I am alive in the game, the more dangerous player I become.In post 2705, rb wrote:You got fearkilled LQ - you've gotten damn good in the last year or so, much different to what I remember.
BTW, feel good to have a player nomed for an award give me praise. Reflection of this is that your game isn't too bad either. You've escalated pretty quickly.I was anything worse than you! Anything worse than you was I!

Maybe towns play bad because they actually expect to have 3-4 powerful power roles and no one knows how to play the fucking day-game as town anymore?In post 2707, mhsmith0 wrote:

Like if we run this idea parallel to the idea of spamposters - if you reduce the importance of the day game, people will take the day game less seriously.
PR's are a band-aid fix, when you get to the point that you're putting in 3+ powerful PR's into setups by default and people keep losing, the problem isn't that towns don't have enough power. On 2+2 forums the following setup has a 49% town winrate over more than 150 games:
1 cop
9 vanilla town
3 goons
On mafiascum, this setup would be considered Not Fair™ because of the Inherent Scum Advantage™
The reason towns are shit on mafiascum is because towns are shit. The sooner people like yourself and Mastina (<3 you but seriously stop) stop talking about Inherent Scum Advantage™ and constantly acting as if the reason games need morecowbelltown power, the sooner town players start taking actual responsibility for their votes, their words and their play.- KidAmn

In fairness, I'd note that the cop gets a free n0 peek on a random townie, which means that the day game ends up being VERY PR-centric due simply to the weight of the fact that everyone knows there's a cop who knows that there's a n0 town peek already on the board.In post 2712, rb wrote:

Still, it's a lot less town power than you see in a lot of mini normals

Like it's not even a question that towns here are overpowered.
It's also not a question that the day game here is absolutely shit.
I don't think it's a strictly causal relationship, but I absolutely believe that a combination of: constantly giving towns more power than needed and constantly insisting that there's an Inherent Scum Advantage™ and then balancing games around these two things, has a HUGE effect on how the 'sitemeta' eventually shifts to one that is less caring about daygame and doesn't use it effectively.
It's a no-brainer and I actually wanted to start modding games and slowly getting involved in changing it but the requirements to start modding etc. are 2restrictive4me. I'd love to run a whole plethora of games with that exact setup of
1 cop
9 vanilla
3 goons
no daytalk
And just see how much I could improve site-meta just by having people actively participate in games like this regularly. It was also an idea I had of helping out Realeo with establishing accurate ELO ratings - by standardising the format to something balanced like this and then using the results from it to judge ELO (this is a secondary idea, not primary).- Boonskiies

We just got stuck in a 3v3 situation where scum was on both sides. You played fine what it was, and you nailed Rb as scum. I was in Rb's pocket so hard. He voted LaLight, and I just had that major scratchy feeling that I knew LaLight was scum, but I couldn't quite put it into words, which is why I think I ended up on you. They were able to manipulate us from both angles. It was a little weird that it just happened that of all people to have the PR's, it was me, you, and grey...and they were all the same type."Let it be known that almost everything Boonskiies said is either hilarious or annoying." - Shinobi

Town lynched one of their strongest power roles.
Then lynched their other.
After outing both their remaining (weaker) PRs.
Leading to them being killed.
You were up against a ninja for the record--thus why the motion detector/tracker/watcher together were not overpowered.
You proooooobably shouldn't think "no way these two roles can be in the game together!" when your town is actually vastly underpowered without them.
I was actually impressed you managed to lynch two scum given that epic fail early-on.- SlingshotWaffles
