Mini 954 ~ Mafia at the 11th Hour (Game Over!)

[Porkens]

Fuck. Too bad.

I apologize for my shitty play this game; I know I sat on the defensive, but I still say that Percy was obvscum.

dx, huh? Well, I'll admit it; I'm surprised.

gg scum.

see y'all next tecmo.

[Nikanor]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[d3x]

wtf? I'm not Scum.

1. Why's Nik posting?

2. If it's game over, why isn't he happy?

3. Seriously. wtf?

[Porkens]

Oh lord, if Baltar got away with this...I'm gunna cry tears of blood.

[DTMaster]

Does it mean I can talk to Nikanor? Can I spoil the ending. Scum is [retracted]

[Herodotus]

wtf?

qft

[d3x]

So it's VP and Percy?!?

This is starting to make no freaking sense at all.

Why the hell didn't VP just Hammer? To see if he could get the Townie to do it?

[DTMaster]

The reason why [retracted] happened is [retracted].

[Percy]

I have no idea what is going on.

5.

I'm dead. Can I still post?

No, with one exception. A recently decased player may make a "bah" post consisting of the letter 'N' followed by as many lowercase 'o's as you prefer. Nothing else is acceptable.

Could be a bah post from Nik, but (1) that's stretching "recently" to ridiculous lengths, and (2) DTMaster shouldn't be posting, and as I said, Porkens may require another vote to lynch, so just generally what the fucking hell I don't even.

@VP Baltar

: I have never been in LyLo. My Herodotus-slot read comes from both the Nikanor interaction as well as the Porkens interaction.

I'll type out something more detailed if it isn't gg, but the top of this is worth looking at on this issue for now.

[Percy]

So it's VP and Percy?!?

I'm not scum.

[d3x]

Vi!!!

[Percy]

EBWOP: I have never been in MyLo, as far as I can recall. Been in LyLo plenty of times.

[d3x]

Ok, so everyone is currently Claiming to not be Scum, right? Except for VP who hasn't been here since before the last Vote Count? Let's assume that regardless of whatever the hell's going on with the dead players, the game's still on. I suggest we all stop posting until the Mod shows up and sorts this shit out. Agreed?

[Herodotus]

I'm not scum either.

Maybe Porkens was the last scum? DTMaster could be some kind of death-godfather type role, and therefore knows the game is over? But that would make his being NK'ed weird.

I'm hoping Vi shows up soon.

[DTMaster]

No Vi told me the game was over. I was town so I didn't care about analyzing this game when I saw I died.

[Percy]

@d3x

: Agreed.

(I call bullshit on DTMaster, though. Vi would not, I believe, tell him the game is over without telling us.)

Also, Porkens being the last scum doesn't make sense, as we are in LyLo. I can't see how that works with Porkens the last scum unless there is some serious modbastardry going on.

Shutting up now.

[DTMaster]

Trust me. It's over. Like done. Like dinner. Like me when I got killed when I replaced in. Just wait for the flavour and I won't spoil who's on the scum team. Trust me Nikanor is grinning right now. :p

I can't decide whether or not to count this as a Win/Loss if I didn't do anything. :p

[Vi]

DTMaster. Get the hell out of my topic.

[Vi]

My thoughts on what happened, quickly because I have to go for a presentation.

I'm developing a theory that the Class of '08 (so to speak) is retiring

en masse

. I fully expected to be nominating VP Baltar for "Best Performance in a Losing Cause" with the way the game fell into place right up until semioldguy got lynched - which coincidentally was where I noticed a sharp difference in the number of people having fun. The difference was night and day; this game went from being fun and exciting to a chore. sog got reluctantly lynched due to apathy, Jahudo got reluctantly lynched due to apathy, No Lynch got not-so-reluctantly lynched due to apathy. As it stands, Herodotus did a tremendous job undoing all the failure brought on by his predecessors and coming out as one of the Towniest players in the game.

Scum played LyLo very cautiously, hence why it didn't go more quickly. They expected an 11th Hour ability to come back for them. What they didn't know was that not only did most of the abilities not work in LyLo, but that they held the only abilities left that WOULD.

The setup was swingy, and I knew that from the beginning. There was a potential for Tarhalindur+Byakuren to break the game, and for a while it looked like the game was going to go that way. Scum losing one of their own and then activating the fantabulous mystery power N1 made things look rather grim, but on the other hand none of the post-lynch abilities ever got used so it balanced out.

In the end the only desperation ability that actually affected anything was Porkens delaying his own lynch long enough for Jahudo to get lynched instead. I was banking on a considerably less conservative/more xRECKLESSx player list, although given who I swayed to show up that was probably a short-sighted idea.

The flavor was the last thing added before the game ran and was probably completely unnecessary. I was worried about a massclaim even before the game began. To the two of you who actually bothered with the flavor, I hope you enjoyed it.

DTMaster deserves the loss. The scum were going to kill d3x but changed their minds when DTMaster replaced in (partly

because

of the flavor massclaim he would probably spark). Plus I'm still very "upset" over the dead players raiding the topic after the Porkens lynch. BOTH of you have been scum in my games before and BOTH of you know my opinion on spoiling the ending. This is especially frustrating because this was the first time I ran a Green Room thread and I just got done telling someone that they had never caused any trouble that I knew of.

I'm going to be leaving for a while in July, so there isn't going to be another M. Theme coming from me for a while. I'm going to start work on L. Themes instead. I'm also refining a Mish-Mash game that I can hopefully start next week; it's very easy to play and I hope to see you there.~

[Gammagooey]

Soooooooooo that was depressing. Everything pretty much fell apart day 2.

Not 1 but THREE separate (town) people could have pretty much single-handedly lynched Herod d2 : /. Semi giving the king ability to someone he suspected instead of someone he thought would hammer scum was bollocks IMO, DDD could have hammer-killed Herod after Jahudo's vote, OR Percy could have lynched a dirty scum lurker after Jahudo's vote.

VP played really well, and I was thinking pretty much the exact same thing Porkens was (Percy/Herod scumteam) until Nik came in the dead-thread after MYLO and said lol, nope. Dead quicktopic-http://www.quicktopic.com/44/H/KyDVpZMSFg4

Porkens I beliiiiiiiiiiiiieved in yoooooooooooooooooooou


VP can you share the scum quicktopic with us :O

[VP Baltar]

Thanks to Herodotus for coming and making it so I didn't have to play alone. Nikanor just never could shake his lynch (and I tried to get it off subtly!) and Cobalt played to his usual scum meta of a giant red arrow saying "SCUM!"

I was fully prepared to pull a Sotty on Day 2 if I had to.

Vi's probably right that the apathy set in over the course of the game, but that really helped out our team immensely. I wasn't about to encourage people to start posting behind the show of stamping my feet mildly. Letting the battery dwindle quickly and watching people rush to whatever was available made it fairly easy to get our way in the end.

Thanks to Vi for modding and enjoy your break!

[Gammagooey]

Wait it's in the PMs I'm dumm

[VP Baltar]

GG thought I was town? Now you know something is wrong....

Also, I have to say it was a very weird experience NOT powerhammering in lylo. Yesterday it was hilarioius when Herodotus and I were both posting in thread because I knew we were both thinking 'should we hammer now or wait?' Even though Porkens had used his 11th hour ability, I was really worried that endgame would trigger some kind of last shot from Percy or something and then the next day it'd be really easy for the town to bag and tag.

Please hold for scum QT.
