Mini Normal 2045: Boba Tea Mafia [Game Over]

[Doughboy]

Interesting simple but fun setup
Thank you for modding and sorry for being an ass.

My best friend lost his battle to cancer and it’s been a long 2 years.

wow, I dont think I've ever won a game so quick but I dont think that is a discredit to the scum game at all and I would say the "score" does not reflect the ability of the scum team at all.

Personally, I generally approach day 1 not really caring who gets lynched as town, as its freaking hard to read most people with no info
As I said in the dead thread, I dont think BEF was outrageously scummy, I think he was minorly more scummy that anyone else and ultimately someone had to go - obviously if you look back at the game, you will notice I nearly wifomed myself out of that lynch, which, may have sent the game in a totally different direction.

Obviously, RR did the honourable thing and tried to defend his mate, so he was a little easier to catch.

So, I see the conversations have started about my day 2 play already, so I'll be totally honest about it and admit it was pretty much a happy accident.

I

did

try and bait the night kill, but for all the wrong reasons - if you look at 806 - Triv puts me as hard town before a player who didnt hammer scum (LOL) who was basically lock town - I thought he copped or neap'd me (etc) as if you look back in Triv's ISO, he was between me and BEF at the end of day 1, then 180 turned around by 806... I figured this was typical of night action.

Soooo my plan was to hint that we should believe what Triv was saying, plus, if i got night killed people would consider that I was just speculating so I figured the actual risk to the game was relatively low.

It became apparent that no one else had noticed so I was kinda hoping Triv would pick up on it and put his night actions at the top of his read lists for me, I would then declare the lock town people, whilst prolonging his life

some plan!

Looking back with hindsight, I can see how triv was scum, but in real time I did not spot it at all so well done to Doughboy there


Thanks as well to ChibiBear - well modded - everyone messes up VC's which is why i try to avoid providing interim ones should the mod be less attentive but otherwise everything ran super smooth


despite playing fast and loose I'm quite happy to add the win to my wiki and improve my stats by 2%

thanks again

Sorry to hear that- that's tough. Hope you are ok

[Doughboy]

I’m good. We knew it was happening so the grieving process is much different than a sudden death. I’ve been dealing with irl stuff also but I guess everyone is dealing with stuff.


Just got to remember to dial it back some. I get too into the game.

[LolWagons]

Agree with most of it Profii.

I do think BEF was scummy but wasn’t super confident in that read until his claim. That’s when I was confident enough to bank my own safety in the game on it.

[LolWagons]

His reluctance to immediately explain why answering a setup question was scummy sealed it for me.

[LolWagons]

DB sorry for your loss. I understand the need for escapism. No harm done.

[LolWagons]

Make no mistake Profii despite the Triv stuff you’re a damn good player.

And kudos to DB for seeing what we couldn’t

[profii]

sure, but I felt like I was lynching a 2 out of 10 on the scum scale whilst everyone else was nulling it up. Sometimes someone drops a clanger and you know you're chasing someone who feels 8 out of 10 scum but that was not the case in this game - had we missed BEF, we were never getting RR so quick and it's totally different game

looking forward to peeking in the scum thread though - i wonder what Triv thought I was up to

[LolWagons]

I have to think people were cussing me out in that Scum thread lol

[Trivium]

That’s alright but I truly had Triv as friendly neighbor who visited Pro N1. If I hadn’t gotten that watcher report and he had claimed that...

lol if I was friendly neighbor I would have immmmmediately visited doughboy just to fuck with him

[LolWagons]

Also hopefully no hard feelings @BEF

Haha that would have been the most correct and most satisfying play

[LolWagons]

I really do think y’all should have gotten like half a PR though

Watcher is powerful. Having a backup? Super powerful. Sure the results don’t transfer but it’s investigative and protective.

Did you guys push Spring because you thought he was PR? What a nightmare that would have been for town.

[profii]

I was surprised at 3x goon - never seen that in this site before

[LolWagons]

Also don’t mean to criticize the setup. I like more simple set ups like this. Overall it was super good. When you have like four town PRs and two scum PRs I feel like it takes away from the point of the game

It's okay man, no hard feelings. I had some fun trying to dodge your lynch tbh.

Cancer's the real ass

He did pretty damn good too

Really everyone played pretty strongly on both sides

[ChibiBear]

I am very sorry for your loss Doughboy.



I also found the 3x goon setup unusual but I’m not at all familiar with balancing games so I didn’t really question it.

[Elbirn]

Did someone else design this game?

I'm not a mod or designer either but I have to agree that scum needed a buff. Simple setups are beautiful and pure so I appreciate this one...but with no scum pr could a 4th goon have been in order?

[ChibiBear]

It was designed by RadiantCowbells and reviewed by schadd_

I am not good enough at mafia to design a game

[LolWagons]

4 in a 13 is crazy. That’s only two mislynches with town having to lynch 4. Not to mention most towns probably wouldn’t even think of 9 players remaining as lylo.

They really should have just had a buff. Some sort of limited roleblocker or ninja (novice, even night, 2-shot, etc) probably would have balanced it out and made the win feel a little less cheap.
