Mini Normal 2040: Day 4

[Auro]

Loved this game. Thanks all for making it as entertaining as it was.

howd u guys like the setup

[Auro]

D1 NK'd, my last state of mind in the game was "confused". :p wondering how it would've played out with the vig alive, interesting setup.

Is it generally a good idea to take NotMaf to MyLo or LyLo? Almost feels like the moment you do, vote becomes 50-50 for a confirmed town. Feels to me like Maf would have better chances pushing a ML with more readable players and fake cases.

Optimal play with a random lolposter on either side involves lynching/killing them off before LyLo, change my mind.

@schadd_ it was a shitstorm
loved it

[Almost50]

If you know the player well, it might be. Also if you really don't mind losing to them if it comes to that.

The game is supposed to be FUN >> winning. Some people take it too serious, and some (myself included) don't want to lose to certain people but don't mind losing to other certain people. Do what feels right.

[Auro]

One more note: I'm a newb so this might be oversimplified, but Elsa Jay's defenses largely tended to take the form "Said [weird thing] randomly, did [very weird thing] because I felt like it, I do batshit crazy things as either alignment haha". Thing is, it's easy to mask scummy play within the above excuse. Players who know EJ does this often give him a free pass. (A50! )

Either optimal play in dealing with EJ is evaluating the benefit of each antic he executed - this would backfire if he pulls off a seemingly anti-town gambit as town.

Or treat him like Not_Maf.

[Almost50]

Again, it all falls down to whether you know the player. I tend to be scum read by the majority of players playing me for the first time. I do some strange stuff, but unlike EJ I mostly do them for a reason (ex: I sometimes like to get wagoned to analyze my own wagon. I sometime act in a certain way that hints I'm a PR when I'm not to bait the NK.. etc).

[BrightEyedFish]

Yeah, I really gotta ask why Fish did what he did.

I knew what you were scum. if i had pulled my claim back after you CCd then you probably would have gotten towncred and I would have still been lynched.

[Elsa Jay]

But you didn't know I was scum. You also had the same feeling about Clem... Who was the Bodyguard.

Well, I had a hypothesis and it was proven true

[BrightEyedFish]

and the effort you put into post 131 was very early on scumtelling.

[BrightEyedFish]

but gg you did well. maybe we will meet again out there somewhere

[Auro]

So I hypoclaimed a role that I picked for shits and giggles for a role I just thought only found mafia and vigilantes.

Please treat this game with the seriousness it deserves

Favorite post of the game.

It's good advice

[tictac]

I didn't know tictac hates me

I did wanna say that I hate no one, but it's poor form to post anything after deciding to replace.
Just,

too many

people always playing to survivor wincon makes the game uninteresting to me.
I was aware of 3 at the time, but the actual number was 4. Since it was a 10p game, that's a

lot

.

There is no need to avoid me in que, I'll just out if the playerlist looks unmanageable.
I

would

like it if ya and Elsa avoided

replacing

into my ongoing games in the future, tho I do realize ya under no actual obligation to do so.

@Sash ya looked really towny this game. Ya keep improving really fast. Do avoid fastvoting in lylo, it's usually a losing move, even tho it turned out well here.
@Carmen thanks 4 taking the slot, ya were awesome while ya were here.

Optimal play with a random lolposter on either side involves lynching/killing them off before LyLo, change my mind.

Single hard-null can be mechanically guiltied/cleared/vigged, that's what PRs are for.
If there's loads it's good to reduce the number early on/ probably good to not-lynch them in lylo since they probably townies taken there to get lynched/to rando-vote on town.
As scum, I'd probs keep them around 4 some time.

Maybe

kill them before lylo if I expect town/them to play LYLO sensibly, which is kinda rare actually.

[mastina]

oh wait fuck i designed this

^Ditto, but as reviewer.
Totally forgot until much, much later, after game had finished.

[Elsa Jay]

Getting a "don't come near me" from Tic Tac seems fun. Will probably never remember to think about that warning though.

[implosion]

If you want to nominate this game or any people in it (moderator or players) for a scummy, please do!
