Actually, we were all just saboteurs. With three alive, we could vote-steal. With two alive, we could roleblock. With one alive, we could kill.
I'm a little upset by a few things, but I tried my damned hardest. We knew we were toast on Day 3. I had a lot of thoughts typed up, but they got erased. Essentially:
#1) There were WAY too many confirmable town roles in this setup. Parama & Antihero could confirm themselves quite easily, not to mention the fact that with each investigation/tracker they gave out, we had a significantly higher chance of being found out as well.
#2) On top of that, there was a doctor who could save one person per night, PLUS a bulletproof vest that was given out, PLUS Sathoris was a one-shot bulletproof. That's three people our kill would fail on during any given night.
#3) Had we opted to kill someone else instead of ender (like, Parama or Antihero), we probably still could have won this game. The ender kill was us trying to hit the cop-giver-outer, and we had it narrowed down to ender/Antihero... but we thought we could push a mislynch on Anithero, so we shot ender instead.
Despite all the complaints, I have to say this was the perfect game to be my last mini theme. I had a lot of fun, it was challenging, and in my 20+ games of being scum, smargaret was one of the best scumbuddies I've ever had. I truly enjoyed this game, I laughed out loud IRL at the flavor, and I have to hand it to Kairyuu & Antihero. Kairyuu did his typical "Watch me break the game and win this for town" thing, and it worked flawlessly. And Antihero made the right call in endgame, despite my best efforts to confuse him.
Good game, all.green shirt thursdays-

You know, I see that in the scum QT a lot after the game, and it always really pisses me off (probably because they sometimes succeed).The ender kill was us trying to hit the cop-giver-outer, and we had it narrowed down to ender/Antihero... but we thought we could push a mislynch on Anithero, so we shot ender instead.
Hm. I wonder how well an SK cop-gifter would work... [/modmeta]#1) There were WAY too many confirmable town roles in this setup. Parama & Antihero could confirm themselves quite easily, not to mention the fact that with each investigation/tracker they gave out, we had a significantly higher chance of being found out as well.The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.-

@Antihero:You could have made this a helluva lot easier on yourself if you'd looked at a few things. Technically speaking, the game was not broken 100% at the time of my death. Parama could TECHNICALLY have been scum. However, a few things happened that should have made the final day a breeze for you.
1. Sathoris died. Since he was town, he probably wasn't lying about ardent defender. This means that it was used up earlier in the game. The only Nights with missing kills were N2 when I shot Bub and Reck claimed to have dodged a kill and N3 when Reck claimed to have shot at me and gotten blocked. Based on this, Reck was 100% confirmed to have been caught in a lie, and thus 100% confirmed scum.
2. You got a track power. Unless you wanted to assume that the last remaining scum was able to gift you a power and kill on the same Night, Parama couldn't be scum. In addition, based on the (faulty) information you had at the time, it still worked, because the only way Parama could be scum and you could be blocked is if Parama was able to use THREE actions in one Night, whereas Reck would only have to block and kill.
2 isn't a complete clear, but 1 is.
@Starbuck: Should have listened to you about smarg earlier. Didn't matter in the end because I broke the game, but I still deserve an "I told you so" from you for trusting her over you.
smarg and Reck played a great game for scum. The ender kill and the Enigma implosion really hurt their chances though. Either of those things not happening when they did and this may have been a very different endgame.Because, no matter how you dress it up, that's what the world is. A community of idiots doing a series of things until the world explodes and we all die.-

I'm not sure it would have turned out any differently if we'd gone for Antihero instead of Sathoris. I feel a little cheated by how many times town got to confirm someone - it's so aggravating to have this nice mislynch set up for day 2, and discover that our mislynch target is not only confirmed town but bulletproof >.< That said, Antihero in particular did a good job in a tough situation.-

Yes. But...1. Sathoris died. Since he was town, he probably wasn't lying about ardent defender. This means that it was used up earlier in the game. The only Nights with missing kills were N2 when I shot Bub and Reck claimed to have dodged a kill and N3 when Reck claimed to have shot at me and gotten blocked. Based on this, Reck was 100% confirmed to have been caught in a lie, and thus 100% confirmed scum.
From this, I wasn't completely clear on how the ability worked (passive vs. commuter type power). So it ended up piled onto the mountain of WIFOM I was already standing on.Sathoris wrote:
I have a 1 shot ardent defender that stops any kill attempt on me. I was hoping to be targeted on N1, hence my statements against mass claiming on D1. There is nothing in my role PM about informing me if I was targeted though.Antihero wrote:Everyone seems to be a gifter here.
OK, fine, there's a way to settle it.
If anyone got any kind of protective gift at all during this game, claim it now.
UNVOTE: in the meantime, I guessThe distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.-

Setup:- The Priest role is what should have been left out, or at least should have been further neutered (multiple Night cooldown). Put a Townie in that slot and the game looks a lot different. I will keep it in mind. I knew going in that Night actions would be a big determining factor. I have weathered my first swingy game that came down to a not-so-fair LyLo; I suppose that's something positive to take away.
- I really like the Inventor role, as it rewards competence but does not necessarily punish a single bad decision. More than one bad decision and you're getting into the danger zone.
- That Parama and Antihero could pseudo-confirm each other was not something I really saw happening in most iterations of the game; as I ran it through my head I always saw them getting hacked off a lot earlier than in actuality. I should have planned better for those particular LyLo scenarios.
- The repeating flavor was purposeful, although I did not expect it to fully serve that purpose. After talking with Kairyuu last night, I learned punisher roles are not prevalent in most setups today. Just call it a taste of "Vanilla".
- You have every right to skin me for not publicly mentioning the inclusion of all race/class combos. If anything the omission was an underestimation of player competence. I've learned enough lessons on flavor to make a very lasting impression.
The Game:- Well, I got what I designed. It was a swingy game that hung in the balances with each Night Action choice.
- Parama and Antihero did a very good job of deploying their inventions.
- Reck and smargaret played a better-than-average game, but losing their hidden vote along with a teammate on Day 1 was just a crusher.
- Enigma got what he should have for claiming things he knew he ought not, jokingly or not.
- Most town played... soundly... just a bit tunneled imo.
Personal Performance:- I apologize for the apparent mod droughts, but:
- You all played WAY faster than I feasibly prepared myself for. This is not your fault - I was out of touch with the speed of games, my age is showing.
- I WILL be prepared for the speed in future games, and I will be employing someone around more often than I to at least do more frequent votecounts.
- Dungeons WILL be returning to a queue near you. Just not quite yet. Also, 25 mans.
- I'm happy to have any and every one of you in future games!

Ha, you have me wanting to run the next one already. I think I will.
Next will be another Mini, either the Scarlet Monastery or Gnomeregan. Lean SM.
My first Large is gonna be troll-flavored. Zul'Gurub or Zul'Aman. Both are awesome.
