Mini Normal 1740: Game Over Town Wins

[RadiantCowbells]

Ty for the game! Was fun replacing in.

[implosion]

GG!

I guess being read as the traitor works ~_~

[Espeonage]

I would have been fine other than the guilty.

Remember kids, late game roleblocker is an investigative role.

[RadiantCowbells]

Postie could have given our team a roleblocker and a neapolitan and we'd still have lost

[implosion]

Other comments.

Setup is interesting. Lots of little bits of misdirection with the scum having a jailkeeper instead of just a roleblocker, and town having a nurse, and etc. RB becomes a really powerful town power role when there's only two scum that can kill, but obviously that's mitigated a lot since there were town PRs that could do things. It's basically just lucky that I never hit them (not that the neighbor qt had a big impact on the game).

I agree that the hard bussing was a mistake. Even if you think you can pull it off in a way that gains a lot of towncred, the town is going to have

some

kind of PRs, and if you get unlucky and don't manage to kill any of them (or especially if you accidentally kill the traitor) then you're in trouble with a 2+traitor scumteam.

I also did my typical thing of being hilariously useless on d1 and then doing things later~

And @rc no hard feelings about anything, it's a game, I don't think it's really worth being hard on oneself over mafia pretty much ever.

I usually refrain from hard bussing unless I've taken out PRs.

Wait till Jake hears about how wrong he was with KT omg.

[RadiantCowbells]

I think your main issue here, Espe, was your activity.

While I was here you were virtually absentee so I didn't really have a read on you but I'm sure the people who were in the game longer would have scumread the lurking.

And lurkers are usually PR bait

But WP nonetheless, and NYE party more important ^_^

[implosion]

Also that KT thing was unfortunate... I just thought it was because he said he was 12 >_>

[implosion]

Wait till Jake hears about how wrong he was with KT omg.

Jake vacillated a lot over the course of the later days.

[RadiantCowbells]

I may not always hit scum but I'm usually pretty obvtown.

Which is nice as well

[Espeonage]

Not having access sucks. New Years was much more active than I expected.

[RadiantCowbells]

priorities

I've been sick for a while so I didn't do much on new years. I'm jealous.

[I Am Innocent]

Good game all. Well played game implosion, espe played well enough (while a few others played poorly enough) that espe might very well have won without that roleblock.

Kal and mala, you did just enough day 1 to keep me from going after you instead of xtoxm on a critical D3, but sheesh, if u lose interest like that again please replace out...

With that said I will apologize for my disappearances at times, real life issues rather than lack of interest. I really did enjoy this game. ***

RC and smith, thanks for replacing in and adding life to a game that needed it...and thanks to towning it up, cause as these games tend to do, I started to get paranoid about both slots later.

Curious why the scum killed nos N1. I was going to vote park that slot D2. I'll check out the scum pt, but I think think that was a poor choice.

*** and much thanks to the mod for not only an enjoyable game but doing a great job modding!

[RadiantCowbells]

I think Mala was the slot I was most townreading in the game by the end funnily enough.

[Kalimar]

truthfully, i'm finding it hard lately to motivate myself to do much of anything... and doing nothing is probably worse than just going on in a half hearted way. life is hard. i've had periods of apathy in most games, but i normally manage to pull something out, even if i get to be a cassandra in the process. here... nothing (bar calling obvtown town, which is dull).

i don't think things are going to get better for me any time soon, if ever.

still, gg to you and the more 'with it' townies, though scum's overall play helped. :p

[Jake from State Farm]

well at least I was right about 1 scum, chaos was obvious but I was so distracted by performer/kt. my play sucked. good job town

[massive]

Sad I didn't get to play deeper into this game. Bella and I didn't really do much in the neighbor thread but even that helped me townread her, since I figured if she was scum she'd be trying a lot harder to convince me she was town (or at least doing SOMETHING). And happy for nabbing Xtoxm, even though it was a bit posthumously. Thanks chamber!

[Malakittens]

Sorry

I know I should have replaced out, but i thought "hey Mala youre not going to be mafia'ing for 6 months would be motivation enough, but everytime i tried. I'd read something and lose interest".

The whole joking about a mental illness pissed me off right as I was about to reread kinda put the nail in the coffin. (guess its just I saw first hand how it affects families and its not something should be joked about) :\

[Firebringer]

At the moment I replaced in, Esp was already hard pushing my slot, I think it would have been fine if he put the pressure elsewhere but alas. I am not good at looking townie on this site at all.

Even if I am Innocent Child or what not.

[Performer]

>Implosion claims he blocked the Nk from Espe last night. However I was blocked Np1.
>Performer soft claimed PR, explicitly claimed VT and was targeted by the traitor Dp1
>Espe claimed Deputy, tried to justify it by adding context for this game.

Where are you getting that I was targeted by traitor on d1??
Who blocked you on n1? I didn't see anything that said this. This is sounding odd.

[Performer]

Whoops just caught up with the posts I missed, since yesterday haha!

Yay!

Sorry Imp and Performer

And Smither for doubting my TR.

I never doubted my Mala and Kali townreads thought!

I'm just glad you had an inch of space remaining for believing I'm actually town. ; )
Why on earth did you scumread me so hard at times though? I 'm curious.

No Performer was scum as fuck in this game. He desperately needs to get a town groove happening.

Oh really? I'd like some tips then. Provide me actionable suggestions on sounding more Townie then.

Sorry

Mala you still on about that? You're reading way too much into that, I never said I was kidding. If you have issues with us and people irl , well nobody is forcing you to play. I'm honestly sick of hearing about this. What do you want, an apology??

If I were actually messing around, it'd be FM related. If I was going to mess around with you personally, you'd know it, and I never had that intent on this site to begin with.

[Performer]

@IaI thanks for reading me correctly (until the last day phase LOL)
@implosion you read me extremely well in this game. I'm flattered to the point of tears by your incredible depth of play in this game, and it's one of my greatest hopes to see you in another game.

Btw, I already have a few pre-ins for my mini normal so if anyone wants to pre-in, let me know.

[Performer]

just finished reading scum PT...too funny

one of my gambits I was pulling (without telling anybody), was attempting a soft PR claim, but when town interacted with me, I'd play dumb and shrug it off
I did a few soft claim interactions in the hopes that I'd draw scum fire of some sort, which I somewhat did when Esp decided to block me on n4 (but we never reached that stage hehe). Why did I want to get nk'd instead of having another Townie killed? To protect the PRs.

[RadiantCowbells]

I, uh, my reads aren't always right.

I'm good at looking town though.
