[AaronFrost]

Well at least I'm good at setup spec

[dsjstr]

That was a tough situation, I actually meant to place a vote on you but submitted it wrong lol

We were not meant to win that

[Luca Blight]

Gutted, that’s the first game I can remember losing after lynching scum D1. I didn’t follow that closely but I thought Hectic looked the most scummy based on Insomnia associations. The Ame lynch D2 was really bad.

Well played Hectic and unlucky dsjstr and Frost. 3p Lylo is never easy.

[Ame]

Magnificent job Hectic.

I think the lesson learned here is sheep Ame ame right?

[Luca Blight]

Sheep Luca, more like:

Scum is probably Insomnia + Hectic/Frost.

[Pretentious]

The was a spicy 3p lylo. I’ll give more thoughts likely on Saturday on the overall process. Good work, Hectic.

[dsjstr]

Sheep Luca, more like:

Scum is probably Insomnia + Hectic/Frost.

and I managed to convinced aaron to lynch me lol

[dsjstr]

Just in case it is not clear, which I don't think it is.

I enjoyed the lylo and it was an uphill battle the entire time, I don't think I ended up saying it but I thought everyone played well

[dsjstr]

I personally made a lot of mistakes which is where the frustration was coming from

[Ame]

Sheep thy Ame who shall sheep thy Luca. It is the way.

[insomnia]

Dead men tell no tales

[insomnia]

You played perfectly hectic, I was hoping you’d lurk it out and wait for me to self hammer.

I was dying after Luca’s reveal 9/10 times, unlucky. Or maybe, actually lucky, given the outcome.

I was so focused to fake associations that it literally didn’t occur to my head those two could be masons lol.

The bad part when thunder doming is that, if you will hold the thread hostage and have a brawl out, people will only have that to analyse.

You picked up nicely on my fake slips though, so good job there.

When I saw your vote I was getting a little worried and thought it was lost but nice skating

[Hectic]

Thanks, guys. Yeah, Leafy, I was really afraid of Doro looking really obvtown with his frustration in that last day, I had to try and paint it as genuine frustration but one that stemmed from him throwing a scum win away.

And I get what you mean, Somni. Luca suddenly being confirmed town makes everyone incentivised to follow him if they're too lazy to read through your interactions. You were being townread over Luca at that point so it was unfortunate.

Miami Ame, Clidd's lolhammer on you was both hilarious and probably pivotal for this result lol. Sorry, but I was so happy when I saw that happen.

[insomnia]

Clidd is the perfect example for what you pointed out. I honestly am glad I died Day 1 because, going into Day 2, I think us as a scum pair would become a lot more obvious / we'd be forced to interact somehow, which would've gotten you lynched earlier I think.

[Pretentious]

Hey, guys! Great game to watch. Very enjoyable to see everything come across. My favorite part of the setup was watching the pair of Neighbors, Masons, and Mafia through Day 1, not having been able to talk to each other based on No DayTalk. I wanted a rather simple/mountainous game, and this played exactly how I wanted my return to Normal modding to be.

I thought the Luca mason claim was strong, however, I don’t think both Masons needed to be outed. That being said, outing both Masons also made it so scum couldn’t fake claim to be the other mason, but that’s just a gambit they’d have had to take.

Both Masons being outed, caused Insomnia going down Day 1, but at the cost of the best night kills for the game, but that meant Hectic had to get 3 mislynches on his own to win. Which he ended up doing well. Hectic started controlling the game state completely. He pushed through Karnage, everyone followed fast, which got Emperor flippyNips conftown killed fast too.

Final 3p lylo was insane here. That’s what mafia’s all about. Hectic played up his relationship with AF this game to lynch through to victory. I think he made a dirty play, but I think that as scum, it’s okay to make a dirty play, because you gotta do what you can to win. It will affect his future town and scum games, however, as meta in Mafia is like a tattoo you wear on your arm. Sometimes you can hide them with a long button up shirt.

I think Hectic played very well here, and Dsjstr was almost glaringly town from the outside perspective, but that goes to show that it doesn’t matter what the outside thinks, it matters what the people in the game think.

Earned the victory, scum.

[Pretentious]

I’m going to continue designing, reviewing, and modding Normal games for the near future.

[clidd]

Tense game, i liked it.

[implosion]

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