I said several times in our discord that I consider a game with 12 neighbors and 1 vt a theme game, but fair enough.

guilty on the koba slot was gamelosing

if you read scumchat i had a major life event around the time and a bus was optimal for me there to not drag down, figured 2 for 1 was good enough.

mastina had it if she didnt... try to get townread by shirou (??) and instead thunderdomed them for not protecting xof


i was in my teamchat just yelling "pls kill xof and visit shirou and thunderdome the one thats relevant"


also this setup was too townsided imo esp for a team mafia format... too much ease of clearing and easy hints at scum roles, with an inability to reliably fakeclaim or block the 2 docs that could follow the cop on eachother, im a bit against setups where scum are intended to magically know what roles they need to aim for and who has those roles in order to not be in a losing scenario instead of being able to just aim for maybe a PR read here and mainly focus on killing people with good townplay.

mafia are supposed to be an informed party and they felt very uninformed here :/

gg tho

mafia got barely lucky with night actions and still couldnt overcome the setup

You oversold it though. You made it all theatrical with the quickhammer which made it obvious.

So i think we did a good job egging Shirou on to follow that solve despite any doubts they had.

I had almost the entire scum team in the bottom tier in D2, before any guilties or quickhammer shenanigans, before anyone believed it was DeasVail/Koba/Mastina, and that was before we also knew who the roleblocker was and their alignment to townlean Mala.

I was very skeptical of trusting my tunnels here from the start because in the past 3 or 4 games that didn't work out so well, either I got only part of the scum team right or in one case I was just wrong for the entire game.

I expressed a lot of paranoia about being potentially wrong on this game in the team chat but I've always been like this, I often (or never?) release my personal PTs but I always get paranoid of being wrong (I was secretly afraid of MariaR being town in the Dance Game or Norwee being scum in the White Flag at some point).

However there was no universe where I wouldn't kill Mastina here in the end as long as I was left alive and it was why I was so surprised to see myself alive at D5 as well...I think it was a huge mistake to not nightkill me and try to win with a final xof lim even if they had a guilty on the scum.

I'm glad u let us cook.

Better than my reaction to DGB being town lol

mith: It wasn't DGB
Me: oh wow
Me: NOOOOOO MY STREAK
mith: She was F'ing with everyone, haha
Me: classic DGB
me: we can never tell anyone about this
mith: Pssh, you're going under the bus ASAP

fwiw ausuka was really really on DGB scum until extremely late in the game. She even had me somewhat convinced at points even though I had been lock scum reading mastina and DV for a very long time.

[Thestatusquo]

My foolproof mastina strategy is if she gives off supervillain energy she is scum.

Writing a post where you take 50000000 words to lay out every possible mechanical scum team/setup combination without any additional analysis whatsoever, ask everyone to summarize pages and pages of hoods for you while you don't even do it yourself, blame a random other person when other people dont do it and claim that 65 degrees is FREEZING COLD is in fact Big SuperVillain Energy.

[Thestatusquo]

We had a bit of a barrier because my team is all unaware of F temperatures.

[Thestatusquo]

I enjoyed playing with you feysal. I hope you stick around a bit.

[Thestatusquo]

nerds...nerds everywhere!

[Thestatusquo]

sorry for metaing you wrong.



There was a point during the process when I was convinced you only posted reaction gifs as scum.

Ausuka had to put up with my mad ravings.

[Thestatusquo]

no, not shirou. Italiano.

When I was looking through like his first 4 or 5 games the only ones he posted reaction gifs in were scum.

[Thestatusquo]

yeah I got there eventually but for a while I was like this, thinking I'd cracked the code:
