A warlock, a werewolf, and a vampire... [Game Over]

[Cabd]

I am extremely glad L1 was not alisae or alisae would have had a meltdown right about....

Now.

[Cabd]

I wasn't kidding when I said I was the best wolf in the playerlist~

Good playing with you again, I may not have gotten that it was you, but you struck me as somebody fun to play with. Glad we paired.

[Cabd]

Yes yes, dear, you're very pretty and have one of each foot, while I have three lefts.

Still glad we didn't leave. Even if it took effort for us both to hold back.

[Cabd]

I wasn't kidding when I said I was the best wolf in the playerlist~

Good playing with you again, I may not have gotten that it was you, but you struck me as somebody fun to play with. Glad we paired.

I had no idea you still played here! I probably would've had to change my playstyle if I paired with someone who wasn't as lax and fun as you. Super glad we paired

Eh, I only play in VERY few games extremely selectively, like maybe 1-2 a year, total.

Have a 1 year old daughter with penguin_alien now so.

[Cabd]

My logic was weird but I wasn't FULL moonlogic this game, tyvm~

[Cabd]

I me-claimed on my first post.


But me swearing by Arceus was the tipping point for several people.

[Cabd]

My fav post was saying I wish I was as good a wolf as LLD to bus.

Because if I was scum I would've 100% bussed L2 in that spot as well but I wasn't about to admit that

I was holding out hope that you were secretly part of LLD's clique and that she'd light me up postgame on discord to yell at me, hah.

[Cabd]

I'm overwhelmed by the amount of posts and the alt names and I'm going to replace out, as opposed to struggling through this. I bit off more than I could chew (this is my second game), I need to ease into some micros or something before I try another large theme game. Good luck everyone, I hope everyone slays it (it being mafia) on the dance floor! Hopefully since we're only a few hours into the game, my replacement won't have too much trouble catching up.

This slot has been replaced.

Hi Guys.

And gals. And lycanthropes.

I will be changing this avatar probably, fair warning, to fit my super special unique personality.

All it's missing it the -f

[Cabd]

Gentleman 3 talked a big game but then gave up when the going got hard, I want to give him a hug and then a noogie while the hug is going on.

[Cabd]

I tried to intentionally stop myself from trying to figure anyone out for the most part, and I think the game was WAY more enjoyable for it.

[Cabd]

Well he was town and he was busy irl

I'm aware.


I wasn't kidding when I said my wallpost was made at 2AM after having slept a few hours, then popping up in the middle of the night having set my alarm.

I see signing up for a game like this as a serious dedication to the rest of the player list.



Probably just values dissonance with Guy the third.

Oh well.

[Cabd]

Oh and I'm pretty sure the OG Guy the 6th was legit overwhelmed. Hope he sticks around because that was a perfectly acceptable town opening from him.

[Cabd]

Hi lady five. In an alternate universe id have danced with you too.


Your posting was quite enjoyable!

[Cabd]

I'm still salty I didn't get a chart when I was so damn town.

[Cabd]

I pity anyone who reads my PT


Maria literally got blocks of text as I was commuting to and from work with unedited thought spam.

[Cabd]

Eh it made you town.

[Cabd]

It's pretty funny how sorting the game by post count and then eliminating from the bottom was actually the right call!

[Cabd]

Had it not been guy the first I'm pretty sure after my breakdown I would have insisted that the 8-5 pair leave and myself and Maria endgame.

[Cabd]

Guy 5 was playing extremely well and I pegged whoever it was at the time as extremely capible of a player as both alignments and certainly possibly deep wolfing.

[Cabd]

If it has been a traditional 3p ello though, I'd hammer Maria before lady 8

[Cabd]

...is now a bad time to admit my breakdown was entirely faked just to see your reaction and to put to rest any doubts about you?

[Cabd]

I mean don't get me wrong I was nervous but I played it up a bit!

[Cabd]

G2 is from my era as well.

He got clued in by the Arceus swearing.

[Cabd]

I guess more I expected you to BE a big game.

Still think you could have posted and salvaged your slot.

[Cabd]

You're welcome to claim whoever you are.

I may tease but all is forgiven.

[Cabd]

He's gonna tuxedo mask out of the thread probably.

[Cabd]

Just like lucky Lucario broke my heart two weeks ago.

[Cabd]

Who was lady seal?

You were cool.

[Cabd]

<Self-Meta>
I think scum-me here replaces in and gambits using the fact that nobody knows how much experience I'd have, pretends to be new to the setup and immediately starts looking for pair up.
</Self-meta>

I wonder if this is true.

It is, by the by.

[Cabd]

From what I know of the suicide mechanic in this game, it tends to hurt town far more than it helps it.

Have previously won this game by doing explicitly this.

I thought for sure that this gave me away given there's only like.... two or three cases of this happening in final 4.

[Cabd]

Oh yeah for sure felt like a cast of players I'd absolutely play with again. Would legit instantly in for a rerun with new alt assignments but same roster.

[Cabd]

Thanks for playing everyone! I had a blast. Running anonymous games on MS adds a lot of extra steps for a mod, but it was all worth it to provide you with a unique experience and a challenge. Alt-slips were unfortunate but I thought overall you guys demonstrated an exceptional level of self-control. Congratulations to town for the victory - it was well deserved. I was hoping for a final 4 finish, as I always do for my dance setups, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.

I think we would have chosen right in final four if it'd been Lady 1, Guy 6 vs Lady 7, Guy 1

[Cabd]

I pity anyone who reads my PT


Maria literally got blocks of text as I was commuting to and from work with unedited thought spam.

trust me. it could be worse...

So I didn't guess who you were and the empire comparisons was just me self-referencing but holy shit what a co-incidence. I ruled you out from being in this game because I thought you'd perma-retired. How odd that we'd both come out of semi-retirement for the same altgame.

[Cabd]

That said, given I read the madness that is your PT, I could probably snap some fingers and summon nacho so you two could ride off into the sunset together.

[Cabd]

You did before in the final 4 of Midsummer Night's Revelry.

Although, this time, you'd have to trust in your partner over the remaining pair.

yeah.

I don't think there's any world in which I would have left the dance, regardless of the endgame pair. Lady the 1st was locktown. I'd sooner have told Sir IC the 8th to leave lady 5, or whatnot.

[Cabd]

Hey man, don't kinkshame.

Am interested in hearing who G7 was too, because apparently mistreating their partners is a thing they do?

[Cabd]

haha i just felt like playing in a mafia game for some reason but i forgot how much time i used to spend reading stuff in games i was invested in before and overestimated how much time i'd have to read this one :/

also i wanted to see who still plays. was disappointed to find that a lot of the players i used to like playing with are no longer really active (even though some older players seem to be crawling out of the woodworks in this endgame)

Mafia-me totally woulda gone anime grill. Very good call on my avatar.

There's a discord chat with me, ffery, borkie, empire, mina, syry, nacho, giffy, and tammy that occasionally talks about all mass-joining a game.

[Cabd]

Some more game analysis: I believe that the scum team was particularly weak this round. Getting left out as scum in pre-dance should be avoidable as long as you didn't roll 3 gentleman or something ridiculous like that, and none of the scum players were much influential in the day game. Staying quiet and looking okay is passable, but you're never going to make the endgame pair like that. The mafia wins of the previous iterations had strong dayplay from the scum players, with possible exception of the summer waltz where Luna Fox threw. I agree with Something_Smart that losing the original gentleman 1 was quite a blow.

The fact that removing players based on post count was an instant win kind of says it all.




It's no wonder people had issues forming scum reads...


all the people who gave a shit were town.

G2 is somebody from my era that recognized my signature arceus swearing. G8 is actually outed if you bother skimming the dead and lovers PTs he was in.

Oh and cephrir.

[Cabd]

haha i don't care about the anonymity. i was mostly just keeping this game out of my egosearch

Am i reading correctly that you thought G3 was me at one point?

When did I solid as g6 to you? The yomi thing?

[Cabd]

When did he say he wans't... The dead thread?

[Cabd]

I honestly wasn't sure that all the daughter-talk would do anything. But she turns one year old this wednesday and makes staying up posting REALLY difficult.


I miss Kagami. He was in the same boat a few years back.

[Cabd]

Kagami played in starry night 2 dances ago, last year's may ish

Last post November of 19, sadly.



Actually according to the posts, now has a (second?) kiddo.


I wish Kagami well, and we can probably trade stories!

[Cabd]

This was fun to semi-watch!

Agree!

~f

Oh, it seems all the great old-timers are popping around. I really was lucky to replace into this game.

G3, I'm curious if guessed my identity correctly at any point?

Also who was Gentleman 7 and what was their deal with seals

No, actually. You were fairly well-hidden, I'd say. Your name came up, but I never really searched for a definitive answer on my lovely partner.

Funnily enough, I loosely suspect that Gentleman 7 thought that you were me.

I summoned them all from the "we won't play mafia but will spectate cabd crying" discord channel.

[Cabd]

Yeah. The newbie was who I replaced early game after they got overwhelmed.


I maintain scum-newbie would have gotten help in the Mafia PT instead of replacing out like that.

[Cabd]

Yeah.

Technically, that was against global site rules. It sure as heck made the "i am new" part of the rep-out believable. I doubt any oldtimers risk punishment to replace out publicly.

[Cabd]

I did enough town things by the end!

It was a helpful starting tool to gather "in-the-realtime" reactions though.

[Cabd]

I mean, I remember when it used to be Sakura hana's town-tell.

It got banned for a good reason.


It's a good rule change.

[Cabd]

I was the original G6 and I am very sorry, did not mean to break site rules by doing that. Lesson learned! Everything I said was 100% true and I will ease into some more games before signing up for another game like this. Good job town!

You're fine. Genuine mistake. Hope you enjoy and stick around.

[Cabd]

G3 is Brian Skies until inevitably proven otherwise.

I do this to all players who refuse to out their mains. They get assigned something that barely fits and then I hold them to those expectations.

It's why I expected so much out of them!

[Cabd]

P.S.


Daughter tax

Spoiler:

[Cabd]

But I'm Brian Skies

We are ALL Brian Skies on this blessed day.

[Cabd]

Ooh! Who is my assignment?

A mix of giffy and tnnumbers.

[Cabd]

I assigned G2 to syryana and cephirir bastard child.

[Cabd]

G8 was mina-bork crossover.
G5 was majiffy but more competent.

G8 was tammy and goodmorning having a lovechild.

[Cabd]

G8 was mina-bork crossover.
G5 was majiffy but more competent.

Lady 8 was tammy and goodmorning having a lovechild.

EBWOP

[Cabd]

Now I want to know who I am!

You as in the person who replaced Isis into this slot?

[Cabd]

Oh none of these are very serious guesses, but my mind works better if I fake-assign names to alts.

Your play on the final endgame stuff assigns you to something like Natirasha.

[Cabd]

what gave me away as a mina bork hydra anyway

I felt that only somebody immensely familiar and on good terms with Empire to this date would dare describe him as such....

[Cabd]

Piegirl doesn't play anymore and hasn't for a while now. I recall you namedropping her so yeah

[Cabd]

Also, dannflor, I don't think we have any mutual games before this which is really amusing given our join dates.

[Cabd]

I have a soft spot for 2012s because I married one!

[Cabd]

Anon dancegame the second.

[Cabd]

I wonder if making it so that mafia got to do their elim immediately instead of at intermission if a scum is left out of predance would have made it better?

I suppose it's just that the scumteam was low effort, not a failing of the setup, though....

[Cabd]

Were you in this one, Titus?

[Cabd]

Which one were you?

[Cabd]

Ah. Thanks for replacing in.

Was my reprimand the actual reason you voted lady the second there? Or were you planning on it regardless.

[Cabd]

I was guy 6.

[Cabd]

Dunno if I'll be around forever but it was fun to scratch the itch.

I think 8-5 would have carried the game if you'd eliminated me and Maria, though.

I guess there's a chance you could have tried to force an endgame of 1-7 vs 5-8 and tried to convince lady 8th to leave?

[Cabd]

Lady the 5th, right?

[Cabd]

Something like Amrun's play but less feminine voice, I guess?


I honestly town binned you early and assumed you were gonna die before I had to care.

Same place I put both of the 2-4 pairs... INTO THE DEATHBOX.

[Cabd]

None of your jerks was my ffery or syry. It made me sad.

I really wanted guy 3 to be my ffery this game.

[Cabd]

My meta hunt days are long dead. They died about a year ago when Olivia was born.

[Cabd]

I had hoped that G2 was somebody from that sweet spot in 2014. Her or GM or something.

[Cabd]

Unforgivable.


I think you could have taken 9-3 to endgame and won!

[Cabd]

had issues recently with enjoying the game

Yep, it's why I went on leave for so long.

The newbie I played before this, and this game, though were both enjoyable.

I think because no prior body of work I had to defend/work with.
