Micro 867: Pick your Partner - Game Over

[RadiantCowbells]

Yarp. Also, Scum!RC as your partner is bad because he 100% gets paranoia lynched D3 if he's still alive in this setup.

seems like a terrible way to play the game.

[RadiantCowbells]

i'm going to lurk till d3. we'll see

[RadiantCowbells]

note that tttt has done nothing besides mechanical talk in the last few pages

yahmose is lurking but that's not a scumtell for her.

[RadiantCowbells]

i wish i could stop people from making shitty mislynches.

[RadiantCowbells]

i think that accepting happily ever afters even though they would not be inappropriate in this situation is dangerous in general b/c what if town get to lylo with no scum lynches, know they're going to lose, and force a happily ever after vote and lynch whoever doesn't support it?

[RadiantCowbells]

i understood it here but i also understand why a listmod pov would be that it's a dangerous precedent to establish.

[RadiantCowbells]

notably i think me and yahmose would probably have both agreed to it but I can't speak for her, obviously.

[RadiantCowbells]

i do also find see a lot of poetry in my 'srs bsns scum career' starting with mislynching you in NY184 and ending here (not reflecting on my alignment in any ongoing games)

[RadiantCowbells]

yeah well

i may be sensitive

but you're only 12/5

[RadiantCowbells]

bitch

[RadiantCowbells]

yeah but that's the point: no one is ever going to expect me to be scum with yahmose when we're transparently obviously scumpartners and both obvious scum individually


it's genius really

[RadiantCowbells]

that was sarcastic btw.

[RadiantCowbells]

the entire bitch part

not anything else

[RadiantCowbells]

i have fun as town when people aren't policy lynching me

[RadiantCowbells]

i would enjoy mafia a lot more if I stopped trying to effort as scum

but at the same time there's not a lot of role models in terms of good scum play and I think me giving up trying to godmode as scum would have really bad ripple effects.

[RadiantCowbells]

the pendulum is swinging really hard towards people resenting rolling scum and tryharding as town and town are winning so many games in like the 'tryhard townie' lobbies
MS doesn't need to become another MU where basically no one gives a shit about playing scum and the few who tryhard at it often are willing to sacrifice their town wr.

Okay now that u are retired. Can we point out that there is no fucking way you roll scum so many times naturally and that mods are definitely putting you in scum teams to better balance games?

in 2016 I rolled scum like 8 times in a row in games that started and as a result I decided to stop playing games from the start and just replace in

[RadiantCowbells]

i feel like i don't get to just join a mafia game and play a mafia game anymore
there's always some sort of meta considerations regarding how i approach games that make it a lot harder to enjoy games.

Okay but like you know mods are putting you in scum roles right? Like how can we prove this because the statistics on this tells me that is bullshit that you get it that many times in a row by pure chance.

it's literally impossible to prove. i don't think STK specifically is the type to give me a scum role b/c he wants to see me as scum though.

Like my odds of getting sccum feel pretty normal at around every 7-9 games I get at least one scum game.

lucky you

[RadiantCowbells]

i can just replace out if people assign me scum roles

i don't think there's really an answer because you can't prove any individual did it and i think bringing up that it happens will actually increase not decrease the rate of it happening.

[RadiantCowbells]

hate to see what

[RadiantCowbells]

Yeah fuck people in IT

[RadiantCowbells]

I add the paladin to my party.
