SIR Disease Mafia - Game Over!

[Miss Lane]

Question for mastina upon completion of her catch-up: How do you feel?

Right now? At this very second, less awful than I was before I started posting here.

Before I started posting here I was almost as bad as can get.

And honestly I can already feel it--the moment I

stop

posting, I'll sink back into that bad mental state.
At this very second, I'm relatively fine, but I can

feel

it, once I stop posting in here I am going to plummet back to where I was and I'm terrified of it.

I'm sorry. That sucks. I very much feel you on at least one level, maybe a few. Just know that despite everything, shit seems to always get better eventually, sometimes you just gotta count the seconds til you're done w/ the hour you're in and then make it to the next hour. I'm willing to talk to you outside the game if you need it.

Fine, I never liked people with anime avatars anyway. It's manipulative.

look at you big boy trying to troll me hard. not biting budy

Quick question; is this a game everyone is treating dead seriously or is it a game people are kinda going to meme about and not take too seriously? Asking because it makes a difference in how much effort I put in. I kinda assumed this game was the latter and am going in with that expectation, but if it's the former I'll need to shape up and put some more work in.

oh yes, here go

Auro, if youre scum here you better infect and convert me N1 so we can continue what we started last game

I thought we had an unspoken mutual understanding of this anyway, that's what I meant when I said we infect each other if we get to

I'm going to be treating the game similarly (i.e. not too much effort), why is this problematic?

Hi mastina welcome to the game! So glad you rolled scum. Haven’t you learned by now? I know you know my town game. It hasn’t changed at all. You come in saying you’re going to take this less than seriously and then fall right back into your scum game saying I’m scum day one has always been your tell lol

VOTE: mastina

[EspeciallyTheLies]

Try to keep your spirits up! I know you hate rolling scum but like you said, this is a meme-y game so just have fun and take solace in the fact that getting caught so early means oh can relax and watch the rest of the game from the dead thread <3

[EspeciallyTheLies]

On a more serious note, while I sympathize greatly - I’ve dealt with crippling depression and anxiety my whole life - that discussion doesn’t belong in the game. It’s manipulative and besides that it’s in the ruleset. You know I love you tons and I’m super happy you’re here so just do your best.

What is a meme game?
Mastina: what is you scum read on EtL based on?

No lynch is an option. To ensure no confusion occurs between not lynching and lynching No łynch, you absolutely MUST spell "No łynch" exactly like that with the special character.

5. MathBlade's automated votecounter doesn't appear to track No Lynch votes properly. I'm still waiting for a response from him.

[Nero Cain]

Oops. Forgot to move No Lynch up to the

Nero tier

. My bad.

I have my own tier!

[Nero Cain]

dunno why ppl join games to take them not seriously. It feels like it would be insulting to the mod/reviewers that put a decent amount of work in (and other players that are actually playing. It also breaks the spirit of the game rule, I think.

[Auro]

Does that apply to bastard games the same way, though?

[Nero Cain]

kinda? Bastard is just an umbrella term for certain mechanics. I think a mod can still make a "bastard" game and attempt to balance and try and make is a srs game, as opposed to "lol balance" trash games that are just a buncha roles thrown together.

[Nero Cain]

but even in trash games, one should still really be playing to their wincon so w/e

[Auro]

The specific bastard mechanic here is non-random change in win-con. Knowledge that you may not remain with the same win-con can inform and affect your play, and it is fine for players to play as such IMO.

[Hoctac]

It's why I'm as good as they say I am. I take every game 100% seriously, no matter what type it is. You need to do that if you want to maintain a 80% winrate.

[Flavor Leaf]

Oh damn, what did I sign up for? Idk how to play setups like this

I wanted to call FL scum for this post so I'm going to locktown him for it instead.

This is a scum pocket attempt.
