BTXVI: Boons Ahoy! Spectator Thread

[Boonskiies]

I will be very happy if we manage to win, my spirits were not high after night one!!!

i perhaps should have explained that i do not tend to survive games on this account and it was a burst of misplaced optimism that led me to think i might survive this game
in fact i have never survived to the end of a game as scum

i do however have a 100% win rate as scum so

Getting double night killed helped not clear any of the people who night killed you, though.

Firebringer’s Epiphany has been forgotten, though, it seems. But if it’s remembered, I think Klick gets faded tbh.

[Enchant]

I had 100% winrate before i lost game

[Ranger]

I also think this game is an example of meta being bad actually!!!

No, Klick accurately described the difference between Drew's towngames and scumgames.

This game is an example of being bad at actually recognizing the meta you have.

[Ranger]

What an endgame, the slippery little Doctor.

I got many things, including my predictions, wrong.

Fortunately my Drew read isn’t among them!

I’m apparently one of the few.

[Ranger]

This is the best I’ve seen of Drew scum.

I’m honestly not impressed, tbh. Drew being townread for being blatantly in his scum meta is a town error, not a scum achievement imo.

Need For Speed: Mafbon

[Theta Alpine]

hmmm
let me guess
klick is not just two shot

[Enchant]

Or Frogs has additional jail.

Either way.

[Peregrine]

Drew is playing a wonderful game and I do not think it needs to be downsized for town not playing perfect!!! I don’t think anyone played poorly this game honestly, and everyone worked with the hands they had!!

[Enchant]

Claimed to heal jailkeeper claim, instead of VT personally cleared.
Then didn't clear anyone while being second weak role.

This perfectly passes as "no way it's scum".

No further commentary is needed.

I can’t say I’m surprised about a bias not being reconsidered in light of the evidence.

While there was valid reasons to not hide, that Drew didn’t claim said reasons

should

've tipped them off.

Drew's claim is fine if he said "I feared three scum still alive" which, with 7 alive, would be valid.

He didn’t claim this. He used some nonsense reasons instead. Logically, an indicator of his mindset not being town.

I don’t expect Ali or a tunneled Klick to apply logic.

[Boonskiies]

Yeah, the not claiming weak, even if it was Malakittens is rough.

And they did get super lucky with the accidental no kill shenanigans.

[Boonskiies]

And ugh, Norwegian asked for replacement

[Firebringer]

And ugh, Norwegian asked for replacement

Sad

[Firebringer]

Drew can just hammer at this point

But hammertesting being the whole be all and all thing that is used to judge someone is town in end game is overplayed and ive played around with it to make me look "confirmed town" before.

Silly

[Boonskiies]

i think he's worried about possible Jailkeeper Frogs. Idk, though.

[Boonskiies]

i want him to just end, haha.

[Boonskiies]

Drew might've messed up big time at this point by not hammering.

[Boonskiies]

I think they still can win, depending on replacement, but they really need to frame it like it's a decision between Klick and Norwegian slot.

Rough rough replacement tbh.

Technically they always can play the 'he could have won by hammering' card, so just kinda running the motions now.

[Firebringer]

Drew might've messed up big time at this point by not hammering.

possibly. really depends on if the replacement can come in and sus out drew hard

[Boonskiies]

Hit up a few people who asked to replace in earlier, but nobody replaced out of this game bar hydra/alts.

[Boonskiies]

Enchant's right, this ended up being a bastard game.

Interdimensional Traveler Role I meant to have the role be 'not informed about this.', but originally I had it be informed, so I changed it in like every single place except my Scrivener where I copy/pasted, and I copy/pasted my old version onto this game's signups, but it's different that Klick's Role PM.

OOF. Hopefully Drew just thinks he read it wrong, and doesn't check the Edit time.

Klick's Role PM does specifically state will not be informed of this.

[TemporalLich]

oh dear, mod errors suck

[TemporalLich]

I still prefer Interdimensional Traveler to be Announcing by default as it can cause an investigative role to lose

two nights

worth of results, as the main difference between a Delayer (which delays actions toward the next Night, effectively applying the Delayed modifier to a single action) and a Interdimensional Traveler is that the latter will block investigative results if two actions resolve on the same Night.

[Boonskiies]

Well, other than that, this game ran pretty smoothly, I must say. I was even hard VLA for like 6 days.

I think I want to double down on this style of game, though. Basically, a regular game of Mafia, but the roles and setups are basically cartoonized looney toons style, which in theory, was the idea of BooneyToonz in the first place, but I don't think I've really been able to truly capture how to make that come across until this game, and I think that came about through revamping the BooneyToonz Rolebook. Was really the first time I've evolved it since I made the BT Discussion thread.

I'm going to do another game shortly after this one, if anyone's interested. I'm gonna take what parts weren't fun about this one, and try to see what I can do with that in mind.
