Open 257 - SCIENCE! (game over, scum wins!)

[drmyshottyizsik]

BV just failed for us

[bv310]

No, I'm actually town, unless someone's fucked up my role PM. Shotty's just screwing with you, Gand.

I just stopped caring after Shotty flipped scum. I knew no one would listen to me at that point.

[drmyshottyizsik]

i dressed you up with a scummy tuxsito

[gandalf5166]

This game...... Seriously bv, WHY didn't you post?

[Crazy]

Yay!

I didn't figure I would pull off the win after I defended Shotty so hard Day 1, but after I started fighting against the policy lynch, I couldn't stop, because I think if Shotty was lynched Day 1, then I would have been screwed. Late Day 1 with the whole Shotty vs. Andrew thing, I was lurking, and I kind of avoided the whole thing - if I tried to lynch Andrew then that would totally out me as Shotty's partner, but if I tried to lynch Shotty, then that might backfire and Shotty might actually

be

lynched. I think Thor realized I was being ridiculously non-commital, but I don't think he knew it was because Shotty was my partner.

I suspected that Thor was a mason because of how strongly he was pushing against Shotty's lynch; if he was only a townie, then I think he'd be afraid that he'd accidentally out the mason pair by doing that. Even though I was scum, I still don't think policy lynching is a good idea in general; this is probably like the rare game where lynching Shotty Day 1 would have actually made the town win, since I hadn't had time yet to cover my tracks.

Shotty actually submitted the kill on Thor without my permission, but that was alright, because he was kind of an obvious kill - he was attacking both of us (and nobody questions NK-WIFOM anymore) and I thought he could be a mason. Turns out I was right.

After Thor flipped mason, it became logical that Gandalf was the other mason. I briefly attacked him Day 2, but I later realized that wasn't a good idea, because I'd never do that if I was town. So I flipped my sights to BV, who was actually pretty easy to paint as scum. Easier than Edmund, anyway; I don't even really know why he came up as a target. When Shotty voted Edmund, I didn't want to take either side right away; I was just waiting to see if a quicklynch was possible. When Gandalf said that he probably was going to vote Shotty, I jumped ahead and put Shotty at L-1, since I knew that would probably make me look better than BV on the next day.

I think Gandalf was surprised that he didn't die on Night 2. The reason I killed Edmund instead was because Gandalf was only confirmed mason to me, not to BV. For BV (as scum) to kill Gandalf, he would have had to take a slight risk. Edmund; however, was also nearly confirmed, so I killed him instead.

So... I hadn't played mafia in a while before this game, and I

rarely

won as scum. I think I've only won 3-ish times as scum in the past, and only 1 of those times I did anything to deserve it. I wasn't extremely active in this game, but I still had fun; I'll look forward to playing with some of you guys again.

[Crazy]

wait so gand is the mason?

Oh, and thank goodness that nobody noticed Shotty's scumslip here when he assumed that Gandalf was the mason, even though I hadn't claimed yet.

i know right!!!
i felt really dumb after that

[Thor665]

@Crazy - you read me right, I knew something was weird in the shotty/Crazy combo but I thought it was because you were scum and shotty was town VI. That said, shotty is probably lucky we had andrew to draw the mislynch or he probably would have swung. I know in the mason QT I was debating between edmund or shotty as the obvious lynch for Day 2, and felt pretty good whhen town got it right.

I actually was almost frothing to have you lynched this final day, but honestly bv's hyperlurk threw me off too - and shotty's fakeclaim had me convinced we'd won I probably would have played it similar to gandalf.

Fun game.

[Muffin]

Good game everyone

[edmund.angles]

Good game everyone.

Congrats to the scum.
With the NK on me I was convinced bv was scum (although that off course didn't make any difference).

[drmyshottyizsik]

thanks for the game muffin!

[gandalf5166]

Well, I'm glad Thor didn't come in and yell at me for getting it wrong >.>

[Thor665]

@gandalf - one of my first games had that happen to me when I was wrong in lylo. I hated it and it hurt emotionally (though in a *manly* 'actually wasn't hurt' way) At that point I noticed how...accurate everyone's reads seem to become after death and/or in dead QT and realized most of it is just angry braggadocio and covering up for frustration and trying to blame others. As such I never do it.

We played, we lost, we'll do better next time.

It is hilarious how much we worried about you outing yourself Day 1 though, since apparently it never crossed scum's mind. Ah well, next time we'll just always policy lynch shotty, as gawd intended.

[drmyshottyizsik]

actually scum pinned you two as mason's Day 1
