Micro 755: The Hero We Deserve (Game Over)

[Lucky2u]

I'm good to release the scum PT whenever arch wants. GG all!

[UC Voyager]

WP UC.

It is good you did not hammer flubber lol.

I was extremely afraid that you were scum trying to get the me to out myself as the BP before hammering. lol

[MafiaKid ScumPants]

Man if I'd been alive I probably would have pushed flubber over you in this gamestate

Well I would have gambitted pretty hard with some massclaim stuff that there's discussion of in the dead PT but yeah

There was a period day 1 where I felt the game was solved with my 3 person PoE pool, and then Jester started to feel more townie and flubber felt like he'd taken the foot off the gas, so from there you played really well I'd say

The scum thread is now public.

[chesskid3]

"chess is playing like Theodore Roosevelt. "

lmao what

[callforjudgement]

Thoughts about the setup:

After watching it played, I'm still not sure it's balanced (I'd guess at it being a little scumsided, but am far from certain).
It's definitely swingy, which is pretty much inevitable when you have a vigilante in a small game (and makes the balance hard to determine).

If I ran this setup again, I'd probably make the scum kill compulsive (in order to make the BP a little more powerful); that might help adjust the balance into a slightly better place. However, I probably won't run this specific setup again unless there's a lot of demand; there's too much of a risk of things getting out of hand very quickly, in either the town or scum direction.

" Chess seems like the type to take the game in his hands and shoot me after that day end."

lul

[chesskid3]

I liked this setup actually

there's lots of gambits possible and I like gambits


thanks for modding!

[Archwing]

I was wondering if mass claim would've benefited me in that situation. But knowing that the pr was within Dan or ucv, my 2 conf towns, I didnt think I could cc it

[Archwing]

Sorry I couldn't pull through for the scum win lucky!

[chesskid3]

The thing about massclaim in this game that I think makes for wild gambits is like this

say Dan day 2 is like
listen up folks
I'm town i've already won if I'm scum so lets do this

we are massclaiming in exactly this order

Dan
Arch
Flubber
UC

Dan starts by fake claiming BP

when UC claims it, he retracts

doesnt end up helping here but if BP was flubber it could potentially clear him

or it could get dan lynched lul

[ActionDan]

I thought about something like that but it didn't seem too helpful. And I was getting townread (somehow)

[Ellibereth]

Arch I think you were in a pretty good spot still if you just afk'd and didn't extend the deadline.

[Ellibereth]

i only skimmed but it wasn't obvious it was you over flubber until the post you made after the dl extention.

[Ellibereth]

but still having a dialogue with flubber, stuff like "I'm not buying it", just acting in anyway other than he was 100% confirmed scum was weird after the crossvotes.

[Ellibereth]

also lmao chess you almost got lynched d1 xD

[UC Voyager]

sorry i wasn't the gift that kept giving scum team

omg. there a few signature quotes i got from here

almost every post UCV posts bleeds town

Let's hope UCV really is the gift that keeps on giving

[callforjudgement]

In terms of play, I think Archwing's main mistake towards the end was excessive use of AtE (i.e. trying to manipulate someone into making emotional decisions rather than thinking logically).

AtE is actually a

really

effective persuasion technique against people who aren't used to it, so I'm not surprised that it's frequently tried. However, I think a majority of Mafia players are aware of it by now and are capable of realising that they're being manipulated, so imostt has a tendency to backfire.

[chesskid3]

also lmao chess you almost got lynched d1 xD

to be fair I had 2 scum voting me + UC Voyager

[callforjudgement]

Also, chesskid3 was scarily accurate this game. (Suspecting Flubber, although incorrect, was reasonable too, given how long he went without posting anything substantive.)

[chesskid3]

Arch I think you were in a pretty good spot still if you just afk'd and didn't extend the deadline.

this 100% but it was MYLO so it doesnt help you much

you shoot dan and then you're in the same boat again

[Elizibereth]

i mean taking the 1v1 with flubber against just UC is probably much much much better than UC + Dan especially since dan was already slightly leaning that way.

[chesskid3]

if I really have to I'll lynch Jester but I'm the least interested there of my day 1 lynches

so proud of this post

[chesskid3]

100% agree but yeah I think not extending is his best shot, but not using it does may UC at least go hmmmm thats odd
