Micro 842: Lynchpin 8p (Game Over)

[Elsa Jay]

It's a newbie initiation thing, like in College. It's to show ya we care.

[callforjudgement]

elsa might be cruel enough to do that but i'm not

Clem is the true scumbag here.

Also, where's the dead-thread Link for him? I kinda want him to read it.

Dead thread is here.

I need to verify something before I release the other threads. (Also, are you happy with the scum thread being released?)

[Clemency]

i'm cool with it

[Elsa Jay]

Yeah this is the Apollo Khione seal of approval.

Awww, Auro and LolWagons, you guys are so mean with your twilight trolling of poor Hawk, lol.

Good game everyone, though!

And yeah I did take somewhat of a backseat in this game, as LolWagons was doing a good job at doing his thing and I didn't want to create potential hydra dissonance by taking things in a different direction (for example, Auro and I came up with the strategy of pushing Creature as having both scum AND lynchpin equity on day one, but then LolWagons came up with a completely different strategy that he wanted to pursue). So I mostly stuck to communicating with Auro and LolWagons on Discord. Although it was pretty funny when Auro and LolWagons staged some hydra dissonance on purpose.

And the part about Thor was 100% real -- he never posted in this game and he stopped communicating in our Discord channel. I guess he was just busy IRL.

Also, sorry for being asleep when the lynch happened (it's kind-of hard to predict when a lynch will happen and I can't stay awake forever). I'd have posted the results immediately if I'd been awake to see that the game was over.

In general, this was a pretty hard game to mod (and I'll probably have to take a break from modding for a bit as a result); through much of the game, the activity levels were too low for it to really be playable (in a game this small, a missing player can stall the entire game as everyone waits on them), and although I think my prodding/deadline rules worked pretty well for forcing things to keep going, it was quite an effort enforcing them. (This is the first time under those rules that I've seen a town run out of extensions entirely; normally players make their mind up substantially before then. I guess it's much better than quicklynches.)

I think town played fairly well D1 and D2, but not D3; hawkleader3 was the only townie really putting in effort by that point. (TGW had been trapped into lurking for theory reasons, but the apathy was probably good for scum in any case.) That said, TGW played excellently, and even if hawkleader3 had managed to create a 1v1 between himself and TGW, I suspect TGW would have won it anyway. (I was worried when reading the game that TGW was bussing/distancing a little harder than necessary, but it seemed to work out.)

@mod you can release the Mafia PT

- Volxen from The Great Wall hydra

[Elsa Jay]

Tfw the Mod bets against the Town winning.

[hawkleader3]

There was no way I was going to be able to swing two more votes onto him, and Ruby wasn't really talking. I didn't know who to vote for, so I just went left when things weren't going right lol.

OK, full thread release:

Dead thread
Scum thread
Mod thread

>thinking ruby red wasn't the lynchpin

[Slaxx]

Yeah that’s two alright scum games, now people are going to start lynching the shit out of me.

[Elsa Jay]

Well we picked Ceejay since he seemed simple enough to ignore/protect, but Ruby came in like a wrecking ball to destroy that and nearly get hung.

[Auro]

Hawk, guilt max on twilight trolling :$ BUT I loved your game, and I was genuinely a little scared when you started pushing us from Lol's aggressive reaction - I think the "Good cop bad cop" dissonance helped.

[Auro]

Kinda wish at least one person believed me when I was pushing GW though.

The people we killed would have. If you were gonna read associations, I think you could've made a pretty convincing case for Apollo and us being partners from D1 interactions. Besides, Creature and Dong would've been more receptive towards the idea of scum!us; had to make up some BS about why we didn't die but yeah, very towny looking person not dying *is* a red flag.

Just quoting this from the dead thread to make sure everyone reads it.[quote=Allomancer]Also, just wanna comment on the "if allo wanted to stop it he could have used his deadline extend": i was busy and couldn't be online at the time. When I last checked the thread, Ruby was the favored lynch and I didn't realize it was going to change. By the time I saw the thread again, the day was over.[/quote]

Thanks dude! I'll know now for next game. Still getting my feet wet for who I am as a player lol. Also, no hard feelings to Lolwagons, but I think Auro saved your ass a couple of times

[Elsa Jay]

Admittedly that also falls on Clem getting me killed as well, Hawk. If Clem didn't go with the flow and let GW do all the work, I feel we could have lynched you or Gamma day 2.

[hawkleader3]

Lol just read the dead thread. I was disappointed in the lack of scumhunting on day 3 as well tbh. Seeing everyone cringe when I voted for myself was pretty funny though

[RadiantCowbells]

btw hawkleader3, not sure if you remember me but you were in my FIRST EVER game here

[hawkleader3]

Your name does sound familiar. I'll go check. And yeah, I'm all grown up lol
