Mini 1245: Trouble in Paradise (Over!)

[Thor665]

Oh, and there was no real need to mention it because - derp, any scum in the three way coulda woulda whipped that out, so it was a null piece of evidence for anyone that hadn't seen my role PM. Yabba probably didn't use it as a reverse against me for the same reasons - it was never going to sell anything.

[petroleumjelly]

Well, that was an anticlimactic ending. I can't say the town "deserves" to have won after that, but seeing as I'm usually on the other side of this sort of situation, I suppose I'll have to take it when it happens to favor me.

Thanks for playing, all.

PeregrineV, I would prefer that the Neighbor QT not be revealed for this particular game.

[Whiskers]

...Why?

[petroleumjelly]

If I explained why, it would defeat the point of asking for the Neighbor QT to not be revealed.

[Whiskers]

Yes, but it would also prevent me from trying to find ways around your request.

[Snarky]

NONONONO!!!!

I was so certain Yabba was going to win this Lylo! Anyway, I have no problem with how Thor managed to convince SA to hammer Yabba, this game is all about lying, so I don't think the toxx clause is so different than any other lies scum or town could create to convince someone else. Thor could easily have been scum using it to convince SA, so I don't think it's game-breaking at all.

I really enjoyed playing this game. At the beginning of day 2 I was pretty sure I was going to be lynched soon enough because of cymru's play, so I decided to bus one of my scumbuddies to give them towncred when I'd die (y'know, obvious scum play). Turns out the day went on longer than I expected, but I couldn't stop bussing, cause it would have been really weird (and certainly would have drawn lots of suspicion to both me and Yabba). I panicked and I felt really bad when yabba started to go down with me, but then when we both became the only lynch options for the day that was a really fun moment, cause at that moment we could cross-bus each other shamelessly . The way SA switched to me at the end of the day was a lifesaver for the scumteam, cause first, I wouldn't have done as good as Yabba did for the rest of the game and second, I feel the cross-bus became way more confusing that way for town than it would have been the other way around . It almost blurred SA in lylo...almost.

So, with that, thanks a lot PeregrineV for modding this game and letting me replace in it (and also thanks again for replacing in mine at the same time ) and congrats town for winning this!

Oh yeah, and since everyone is okay with revealing the QT, here it is: http://www.quicktopic.com/46/H/Lxugxnrpv83Gg

I made note of this since I'd never seen it before (that I know of). All prospective lynchees were mafia!

@Yabba RE: Scum QT - we'll just have to wait for another game and you and I can just agree to keep making all of our posts via video/audio files instead of posting any text

[Whiskers]

Or you could hydra.

[Rainbowdash]

When not claiming D4? With two cleareds alive? Making it worst case a F5 with two cleared if everypony ignored GF chances? He didn't play bad but I think thats a major play error. Your claim gets bought in full and thats basically the game right there.

Except that by softclaiming his results, he had an insurance policy in place. Had he outright claimed, it would've guaranteed a nightkill on his slot. By not claiming, he still had two innocents with a chance of catching a guilty party that night as well.

Oh and can I just outright say this fucking trend of MLP speak and Whiskers typing in all pink letters the whole game makes me want to just nuke the entire planet and start over?

His chance of getting countered by scum is far less though. He makes F5 alive he is going to have most likely two clears if scum killed elsewhere. So he is going to call a scumteam, and its going to be a who can argue the case better since scum are obviously going to counter him back with a different investigative role. Scum can either play up the GF angle or try and go 1v1 against him. Claiming a day out puts scum in a tighter position, since they are going to have to deal with killing him and clearing two, or letting him get an investigation off and deal with the 1v1 the next day. If he didnt claim it basically forces a team vs team scenario, far more risk to me. Also love and tolerate, Whiskers was a blast to read this game.

[Whiskers]

...When were Reck and jelly even in this game?

[Sleepless Assassin]

Reck wasn't. He's just grimm's bf.

Jelly was part of the AD hydra with rainbow.

[Whiskers]

So... why was he reading the game, and why is he complaining about it now?

[Grimmjow]

He being whom, Reck, or Jelly? And I thought the hydra was just just the two ponies...?

[Whiskers]

How long has Reck been

playing

reading over your shoulder, and why?

Jelly and Rainbowdash were the Hydra-- one of "the two ponies" was jelly, apparently.

[Grimmjow]

I didn't know Reck had been reading until I was dead. Then he let me know. Apparently he reads all of my games... >.>

[Grimmjow]

And what was he complaining about...?

[Whiskers]

Oh, just bitching that I said "every

pony

" instead of the more politically correct English word.

Oh, and that I used color. Ew, color! Jeez, they should remove that feature from the site, it's so offensive.

[Sleepless Assassin]

Just read the QT. Yabba, why so sure I was VT?

[Sleepless Assassin]

Oh, one more thing id likne feedback on. I played the majority of this game from my phone. Do you guys think it had any effect on my performance?

[Whiskers]

During the last Day, did you sit down at a desktop somewhere to use a PC?

[Thor665]

Oh, one more thing id likne feedback on. I played the majority of this game from my phone. Do you guys think it had any effect on my performance?

Hard to give a solid answer on that without a better grasp of the baseline.

I never felt you had problems reading posts or writing long ones when you desired - which are the usual foibles associated with phone play.

[Sleepless Assassin]

Whiskers, yes. Any time I looked at vote counts and added colors and stuff was from a laptop and basically any big post or anything with major analysis. I think about three posts on the last day were from a laptop.

Thor, what do you mean by baseline? That's basically what I'm looking for though. Like if I ever came off as active lurking or coasting.

[yabbaguy]

That probably explains the concision of your posts, but it just looks like one of those instances where Town just always was confident in themselves and thus had no problem injecting useful commentary into the discussion, so you just called it as you saw it.

[yabbaguy]

Related to the same point, you had no restraint on how much you posted, unlike Grimm, for example. That said, I thought 65k's fail hydra meant a PR, but clearly not.
