[Aureal]

I really have no damn clue what Leaf was doing, other than failing to pay attention to the setup despite me breaking it down right away. And deciding he was doomed immediately because lolwagon??? I shouldn't have even listened to him about staying on to bus but I didn't know he didn't understand until he started talking about who I should kill and it's like, bruh...

ok so question : wasn't it better for town to nolim day 1 actually? didn't read the thread so didn't know if that got suggested or not

[biancospino]

First of all, there were a number of minor modding mistakes toward the beginning of the game; I hope they didn't sour the game experience too much.

The setup was probably at least considerably townsided. It definitevely was quantitatively (with an EV ranging from 40% to 46.66...% depending on whether people would realize that, if the game progressed to 1:3, only a single Village player could truthfully claim fruit). I though that the scumteam having a very large presence in thread could possibly balance it down a little bit but clearly there's no way of testing that with only one run.
Notably, removing the FVs entirely would give a somewhat reasonable 33% EV, but the problem there is it would've made D1 almost entirely useless and I specifically wanted that not to happen, and to give the Village a bit of a reward if a scum would've been limmed D1.

ok so question : wasn't it better for town to nolim day 1 actually? didn't read the thread so didn't know if that got suggested or not

Yes. Which I did initially overlook for some reason and then scrambled to institute a rule mid-D1 to forbid that

[Gypyx]

I think 3 town vs 2 scum is a cool idea, but i don't think it should be ran as a normal game lol

[Aureal]

I will say this: for all my complaining about my never-ending town PMs, I did intensely guard myself against getting screwed out of my perfect record as Mafia- I typically scouted out games I considered replacing into to make sure it didn't look like a doomed scum slot because when that ended, I wanted it to be for good reason, not something someone else did that I had no control over. I guess that reason here was my decision- against my better judgment- to sign up for this game. I literally didn't even consider what it would do to me in this scenario if I somehow actually got a red PM because well, when you've rolled <REDACTED> town PMs in a row and just nothing but shit you have to solve constantly for the entire last fucking year, sometimes you just forget that's even a possibility?!?

I know my stupid record doesn't matter and even less so because 4 of them were 17 years ago and the other was multiball so reeeeeally nobody gives a shit

But still, it mattered to ME, you know. I get hung up on weird things sometimes. If I didn't have the fucking craziest luck getting no red PMs ever, it would've been over with sooner and I wouldn't have made it such a

thing

, I'm sure. But the longer it goes on the more it builds up.

[JacksonVirgo]

I really have no damn clue what Leaf was doing, other than failing to pay attention to the setup despite me breaking it down right away. And deciding he was doomed immediately because lolwagon??? I shouldn't have even listened to him about staying on to bus but I didn't know he didn't understand until he started talking about who I should kill and it's like, bruh...

So he really did go off and do it on his lonesome?

[biancospino]

I think 3 town vs 2 scum is a cool idea, but i don't think it should be ran as a normal game lol

Tbh, I just wanted to see if such a thing as a '''''normal''''' 5p was possible. Which in the end it possibly wasn't, since I did actually need at least one special rule in place for eliminations.

Also, I don't really see much more possible designs to do this. Functionally, something must be done to guarantee a scum death before D2, and it's either this (or some functional equivalent, like the one that Enchant did propose inthread at some point) or possibly something messing around with gated Vigs and Vengefuls idk

[Aureal]

I think I mostly went through the grieving process already like a day ago and am starting to maybe be able to anticipate being able to try to look forward to just signing up for whatever without consideration for how it might affect my record. But that pressure has been building up over like a whole year, excuse me for venting a little bit here.

Uh huh

I told you there's not a chance I wouldn't instantly veto a fakeclaim with a Multitasking modifier. Like he was even under any actual pressure at that point.

[Enchant]

GG i was scum

[DragonEater70]

Good job on having a 5 game winstreak as scum, Aureal. Your grieving is very relatable (at least for me, because I also "get hung up on weird things sometimes").

[Enchant]

I was caught in complexity trap, where overlooking simple solutions, i searched for something else.

Disaster. I probably should focus on mech more.

[Aureal]

Thanks DE

Black got 6

Yeah, I know, nobody would even count games from 17 years ago to make it comparable

I actually have a several weird patterns in how my games go that I've noticed, like all the damn town PMs, which I logically know are too small a sample size to mean anything, but still I try to feel like they mean something because it amuses me I guess. And then I feel like I need to uphold the pattern for some reason. I'm probably slightly screwed up.

Okay, not 'probably': definitely screwed up, or I wouldn't even be here.
