I mean I came into the game not even expecting a voice request so I'm allowing myself a moment of impressedness and then will have another moment of impressedness when/if the voice request is fulfilled

I hope the post I selected was palatable

yup

knowing how mastina does NKs and based on the top tier of my townreads I worked out there was exactly a -700% chance that slot would ever be killed n1

was pretty proud of that decision :giggle:

ah ok
there was something weird going on there that still wasn't explained by mastina being scum
because it didn't *entirely* feel like she knew who she gave her day1 ability to? or like it took her too long to realize it was nancy? idk what it was but it was weird and i just shrugged it off as 'mastina being scum doing idk what'

Hmmm, this was fun

I liked the setup as well schadd

I think it would be interesting to see more setups where scum easily have the tools to try to manipulate the town PRs rather than just erasing their existence/PR hunting

as i said in dead thread, the specific night action sequence is like the perfectly compelling set of information to work with - both scum got kind of guiltied and pre-empted them with claims

additionally the specific people chosen for each thing was like perfectly Dramatic - duckling as the woeful d1 lynch, mastina as the early dead scum to puzzle over interactions with, meph 39 as the loud wild wielder of a guilty, sheep as the slippery scum trying to survive endgame, and perhaps most critically skitter as the analytical mastermind stuck with pretty much all of the information commanded by town

like i was really glad to see skitter sign up for this bc i was thinking like . . . she is the perfect person to get or interact with this sort of role and it was incredibly exciting to see her spill all sorts of setup spec tea in her thread

also her reaction to getting the role was like one of the times ive laughed the hardest at a mafia game but i think i was in a sort of delirious state regarding the whole situation

obviously town was very on the money considering the 3oe several people had by the end of d1, i think generally the quality of analysis was great as well

i think scum made good use of the fakeclaim opportunities. in terms of day play i think both of them would admit to being, like, fine - mastina wasnt on her a game and sheep made a bunch of random town content but had some glaring opportunism

i liked the level of uncertainty the vig thing caused - "does this random cop-type thing get affected by the target having a gun" was enough to cast some amount of doubt on the guilty and thus would have probably had a similarly marginal effect on a townie receiving it as well. thats generally what i look for with investigatives - results that make people have to avoid getting lynch with a disadvantage

also an incidental thing, it was great that tw was around at eod1 because if it had taken him more time to choose the role then it would have been clear that something happen at that time. i meant to delay d2 twilight a little bit as a general way to obscure that but i forgot

I'm really sorry that I was a huge debbie downer on this game. Mechanically, this game was superb, and I absolutely love some of the players in here. Specifically our final four. Sheep, I want to hydra with you after our last two games. I feel like our two contradictory styles combined would make either a fun scumhunter or really fun scum.

schadd, thank you for modding. I hope to play more of your games in the future, but I'm problem taking a bit of a break from playing either way.

Hey schadd, just thought I'd help remind you. I was really concerned when I saw this happen in the game, and went back your rules to make sure it wasn't explicitly against your rules. Good to know you were thinking about it too.

I'm a little bit confused here.
This is where I'm stuck too. Our options seem to be the following:
  • skitter is lying, and mastina and Meph are both telling the truth.
    Feels like the least likely

  • mastina and Meph are both lying, and skitter is telling the truth.
    Feels like too bad of play if mastina and Meph are both scum

  • skitter and Meph are both being honest, but mastina is lying about who received their power, and the actual source for Meph's power is not talking or unknown.
    I think this is where my mind is now.

  • All three of them are telling the complete truth.
    This requires setup spec, and not knowing what the roles are, I don't believe this is reasonable.
  • [/strike]I should trust my gut more often.
