Micro 853: The One I Cannot Kill (Game Over)

[chennisden]

oh poop

[callforjudgement]

Ugh, missed the pagetop that time.

You were all posting so fast that I had to hit "Submit" repeatedly to try to get past the PEDIT trigger.

[chennisden]

im still proud i solved the game

[PenguinPower]

I hate being the decider in games with little info.

Oh well. One more loss against scum!RC.

[chennisden]

good setup callforjudgement

i think its a great example of having to CONVINCE the rest of town to lynch scum.

[PenguinPower]

Very true.

[chennisden]

eh this game is very info lacking by design

scum RC is strong

[chennisden]

his unvote idea was actually so protown

which left me wondering "why would he do that???"

[callforjudgement]

Just for the record, my mod notes. These probably aren't worth reading, they were just there so that a backup mod could recover the game if something happened to me.

[RadiantCowbells]

i always wanted to 1v1 the person i couldn't hammer

you just made it... really easy to go after you convincingly

also your scumread on me on page 1 was near 100% NAI, dont vote people on page 1 in a game like this pls

It was actually the tipping point for me...though probably shouldn't have been. In retrospect, scum!RC easily makes a post like that.

[chennisden]

hmm idk it was a gutread but it turned out being right

[RadiantCowbells]

because i can conftown myself if you vote penguinpower

btw

don't make this post when you're trying to convince PP not to lynch you and you're potentially going to lockscum yourself by not being able to hammer me

Also, 02:13:52 minus 00:32:05 is 1 hour, 41 minutes, 47 seconds. That makes this the second-fastest game ever on mafiascum.net (although I'm not counting it for the records because it is, after all, a three-player game).

When I run Tiny Blitzes in the future, I'll have to officially start the game by making a new post rather than my normal method of editing the third post, so that the timing for records is accurate; the timing isn't meant to count confirmations, but in this case the timestamp of the edit showing that confirmations were over isn't available.

[chennisden]

i played bad RC, and i was trying to salvage a lot

[chennisden]

good game though! I really enjoyed the setup since it's a quick game that tests the most important part of Town (being able to CONVINCE others of your reads)

[RadiantCowbells]

yeah i gotchu

just... don't do what you did here, lol. your read was technically correct but it didn't make your play good if you get what im saying

[chennisden]

yeah i get what you mean

[callforjudgement]

Thoughts:

This looked like a real game of Mafia (only a lot faster!) Even though town decided wrongly in the end, there was enough information by that point to at least make an informed decision; it definitely feels like scum won via manipulating town rather than via getting lucky. So I think this setup is a success.

I expected the game to go quickly, but I was surprised at the pace nonetheless. (When setting up the thread, I realised I hadn't decided on prodding rules and wasn't immediately certain what would work for a 1-day Blitz. Luckily, they didn't get tested.)

[PenguinPower]

Setup is a success imo. I’d like to try it again at some point.

[RadiantCowbells]

give reroll or afk

reroll or feed

PP give us permission for reroll

[PenguinPower]

Sure. I could go again now.

[PenguinPower]

I mean it wouldn’t be a retoll though...and I’m not Micc.

[PenguinPower]

I hate my phone.

[RadiantCowbells]

you should ask for a secret listmod favor
