I think the game was designed well enough from the roles I see, and I appreciate the claim candy.
This would have been more of a "game" if D1 didn't open and close with that gambit. Game swung way too hard to town after. (side note: while as town I don't think I would have ever voted Morph after the results of D1, I don't think that gambit should ever be employed again.)I'll give you a moment to let that sink in- mhsmith0

Scum had claimable stuff of gladiator, rolecop, reporter
Town had a few "don't lynch" roles
favor JOAT (watcher, cop, tracker, neighborizer, mailmain)
gunsmith
and a bunch of lynchable roles
nightkill predicting vig
delayer
vote freezer
doublevoter
self-watching weakener
partial motion sensor
village idiot (practically made for a policy lynch/vig)
dead neighborizer
Only two roles were blatantly "never lynch this" and most of the other roles were reasonably in line wiht the type of claimable powers that scum had.
Really not seeing how it's broken by day 1 massclaim, sorry. If you want a blatantly breakable by day 1 mass claim example, I could direct you to Kingdom Hearts?Showhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0

I agree, actually. It took years off my life and I'm still mourning the smoking wreckage that is my meta.ActionDan wrote:I think the game was designed well enough from the roles I see, and I appreciate the claim candy.

I fully admit the gambit is something I'd only have done on about half this player list. Mostly because I don't think the response would have been alignment indicative for a lot fo players here.In post 1875, ActionDan wrote:I think the game was designed well enough from the roles I see, and I appreciate the claim candy.

Sidekick and bullet-to-poison transmutator, please. I wouldn't expect scum to claim rolecop with a roleblock add-on.

Rolecop is probably claimable in a setup like this. Obviously the roleblocker expansion much less so
But yeah probably the sidekick one is the better claim.Showhttp://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Mhsmith0

To expand, the clearly claimable thing was the HERE'S BOB!!!! (everyone's least liked Shadow hunter's role) bandaid function.
I agree that this game wasn't breakable by mass claim alone however.I'll give you a moment to let that sink in- Lucky2u

thanks btw. I was super excited to see some of the roles payoff and I am sad they didn't.

We loved our role, in much the way we loved the post-restriction-giver in the first boardgame upick. It became clear by day 2 that we probably weren't going to be able to use the role, but we enjoyed it anyway in a "lol we're the likeliest nk but wheee" manner.In post 1885, Lucky2u wrote:

It would have been mortifying to get lynched in late game due to never getting our ability to fire, but it was going to be even more mortifying to be lynched for gambiting AFTER we admitted we had gambited on day 2.- Cabd

Hey dan, you remember that one post in the dance game where it gave me an unshakable townread on you and I stepped out?
Your one post I kept coming back to this game was similar but in the opposite alignment-direction.ShowHave retired for good; Life is too busy to have time or energy for mafia. It was fun~

Well played. I would have loved to see this game go to LYLO just to see the setup play out completely. Thanks to our awesome mods.Get to know a Drixx - Recently Updated!- Creature

Given my day one fakeclaim, if you'd gladiated us i am almost positive we would have rolled over and died and called you damn near confirmed town.

Just gladiator, probably not. However gladiator with a prize fits right in with the flavor. If you're doubting gladiator would be seen as town, the first board game mafia had a gladiator that was town.In post 1891, Creature wrote:Pretty sure my claim wouldn't be buyable if I claimed just gladiator.- Cabd

I've already said I don't approve of the Gambit (see dead thread), but to each their own. However I would also like to add that I'm shocked so many people believed that penguin and myself and our 3 reviewers allowed a day cop like that.- Chickadee
