I must admit, I quick hammered myself in an attempt to frame Locke (which I think lead to sotty roleblocking him N2) I knew Sotty had seen me self hammer before in a game when my scum buddy was asked questions in an attempt to cut off conversation and was hoping she would have picked up on it again.
Sorry, Locke-

Jason your play in that doomed slot Day 2 was great in my eyes.
1. You drew vollkan's Weak Doc claim which could have been HUGE trouble long term if he was able to clear multiple Town.
2. Your quickhammer (and Erg0's subsequent self-hammer Day 4) both made it possible for me to put both Poro and Locke in the questionable portion of my VC analysis.
Good work there!"I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Thanks to everyone for playing. I think this game was somewhat frustrating for me as a mod. There were times that the game just seemed to drag because of low activity levels or various V/LA periods. I thought the two week deadlines would help make sure everyone was pretty active and would prevent the game from going into a lull, but I guess that didn't really help. I think that was partly the reason town lost here.
MVP choices for me would probably be MOI for the scum team and Sotty7 for the town team. Wrt to MOI, I could imagine all of the blocked NKs and missing Daytime actions getting really frustrating but somehow he kept up his resolve and played a good game. I was confused by the claim though - I really thought that was going to end up costing him the game. I thought he could have won the game just by using a Vanilla claim instead.
Does anyone have any comments on the balance or anything else? I know there were a lot of comments about the Goon Cop - I threw that in there because I thought it was a pretty decent alternative to a regular Cop. I considered it a Normal role because I remember mith used it in his /in-vitational last year which was run in the New York subforum. You can see in the role PM now just what specific results it would get.[ooc][color=black]patrickgower2006 (8:12:03 PM): all beer tastes same to me

Oh, I just noticed the balance comments on the last page. I could see why some said it looked town-sided, but I really think the Daytime Rolecop is a strong enough role to counteract the town's powers especially since it couldn't ever be roleblocked (since it worked during the Day), and it would let the scum get a much better idea as to who to kill during the Night. You figure the town lynches someone during the Day so you get a role flip from that, maybe another person is forced to claim since they got to L-1 so you get a role from that, and if the Rolecop cops a completely different person, you pretty much know 3 roles right there. In this case it didn't get much good use though since the people who had the role (aside from Erg0) didn't submit any actions.[ooc][color=black]patrickgower2006 (8:12:03 PM): all beer tastes same to me

lol, yeah, I was curious as to how that must have looked to you from your perspective.Sotty7 wrote:I roleblocked Zach/Jason on night one. When there was no kill I thought I blocked it hence the 1000% increase on pushing Jason. I think I made a passing comment about it as well something like "It will all be clear soon" since I thought I would have to claim to get people on to this wagon. Thankfully it didn't come to that and Vollkan ended up being a weak doc which was pretty funny.[ooc][color=black]patrickgower2006 (8:12:03 PM): all beer tastes same to me

Is it wrong that I would have enjoyed Jason's lynch much more if Zach never replaced out?
I was convinced because I didn't think the town would have a roleblocker and a doc. I really should stop trying to out guess the mod. I'm thankful it worked out in the end otherwise I could have looked silly.Incog wrote:lol, yeah, I was curious as to how that must have looked to you from your perspective.-

Incognito - The big issue I have with the Daytime Role-cop being a powerful offset relies on the fact that he's also our defacto Godfather. It makes the Mafia suffer from very swingy results if they should lose that role early. And yeah, not using it Day 1 and Day 2 really hurt us anyway."I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

That can be said for pretty much any scum power role though since there's usually only one scum PR in most 12-player normal games.
Haha, I don't think I'd ever be able to play Mafia with my girlfriend. I'd be all "aww baby I don't wanna lynch youuuuuuuuu" even if she was scummy as hell. It must be trickier when you're married though. :PSotty7 wrote:Is it wrong that I would have enjoyed Jason's lynch much more if Zach never replaced out? :twisted:[ooc][color=black]patrickgower2006 (8:12:03 PM): all beer tastes same to me

Awesome job, MoI! Must admit that I probably would have claimed VT at the end there, but it worked out pretty well so no Monday-morning quarterbacking from me.
I did, that was why I said "damn roleblockers" in my self-hammer post. I probably could have made it a bit clearer, no harm done in the end though. Ythan's scum meta was so obvious that I was initially aiming for two mislynches before run up myself. I didn't quite make it, but at least it was role-based info that got me killed.MagnaofIllusion wrote:Erg0 – I simply wish you had used your Daycop on Sotty before self-hammering and just posted the results in thread so I was 100% sure she was a RB.
Re: the vollkan kill, I'm always in favour of the safe option at night. This has bitten me in the butt (or cost me a potential advantage) a few times, maybe I should be more open to taking the occasional risk."You were doing well until everyone died."
V/LA most weekends.-

Well, it wasn't a town read. It was just that you were my most confident 50. As I said in thread, you had an absence of scumtells whereas the others were just confusing. I can't say for sure what I would have done N2, but protecting you again definitely would have been on the cards.Magna wrote: Vollkan – I have a question if you read this – was your Town read on me accurate or just blowing smoke? Would you have protected me N2? I had suggested not killing you N2 in hopes that you would protect me and die and then spinning the double kills as either Erg0 or I being a one-shot vig who killed the other death that night (which would have been Jack had I gotten my way). Of course flavor could well have done us in but I thought it might have been a good gamble.
When I died and went to the peanut gallery, I actually PMed the mod because I was interested to find out how accurate I was. I was kicking myself over it initially. But, on the plus side, you've reaffirmed my belief that behavioural towntells don't exist - smart logical play can and does come from scum.-

Well, I still haven't forgiven myself for going back on the one strong read I had all game. Credit to Magna, he played really well, and when it came down to it, I had stacks of reasons why Poro could be scum over him, while the only real reason I had for Magna being scum over Poro was that my gut said Poro was town. This game has also helped to reaffirm my suspicion that I'm really not very good at being town.
Thanks to Incog for modding, I liked the setup and I think it was reasonably balanced, perhaps a little town-leaning, but it certainly would have made it more even if scum had actually used their rolecop ability more often.If ya smell what The Locke is cookin'!
