Open 46 - Strawberry (Game Over!), before 508

[Max]

We HAVE to lynch scum today, 2 scum to 4 townies all 4 townies have to vote to lynch someone we have to be careful

[DeathSauce]

Uhh, yes, so let's lynch d3sisited scum.

[Max]

I'll

FOS: d3s

as I want to know someone else won't come along and quicklynch him

[DeathSauce]

He's at L-1 already.

[Max]

Oh D3sisted defense please

[d3sisted]

There is nothing to defend. Your cases on me are baseless and revolves solely around the fact that Mr.Mean in his dying moments made a rash vote, not thinking of the ramifications of his role.

Here's my challenge to you all: show me where I have been scummy.

Lynch me and we lose. Your call.

[Boing]

Your pushy, overeager play during the first two days to lynch townies makes a lot more sense if you look at it from a scum perspective.

[Max]

Vote:d3sisted

Please tell us you were scum

[Erg0]

Final Vote Count of Day 4

d3sisted 4 (DeathSauce, Boing, Zeppo, Max)

Not Voting 2 (d3sisted, killerbob)

That's a lynch!

---

You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out

Acting on their cop's dying wish, the town quickly turn on

d3sisted

. "I wuz framed!" he cries as he is cuffed and dragged to the gallows. The crack of the trapdoor signals his end, resolute to the last.

The town's joy is shortlived, though - a hasty search of his person provides none of the expected evidence of his mafia associations. All he seems to have in his pockets are tomato seeds. It would appear that he was just a

townie

after all.

Max smiles: "I was always more of a Rolling Stones man myself." Three gunshots ring out in the dusk.

DeathSauce, Boing

and

killerbob

hit the dirt in quick succession, holes neatly drilled in their foreheads. Looks like it will be destruction that wins out after all...

d3sisted, Townie, Lynched Day 4.

DeathSauce, Boing and killerbob, Townies, killed in endgame.

The Mafia (Max, skitzer and Zeppo) win the game!

[Erg0]

Night Choices:

Scum kills are obvious. The Cop investigated Boing N0, White N1, and competentpsycho N2 (all Not Mafia).

I'll make some wrap-up comments once a few of the players have had a chance to post.

[competentpsycho]

Wow, cop really screwed this one up. Mean - once you softclaimed like that everyone, especially mafia, knew what you were hinting at. The difference is mafia knew you weren't scum and town didn't. Therefore if you weren't getting lynched you would have been NKed - you were dead either way. The best thing to do there is just come out and claim cop with your investigations. Even if you got 3 innocents, two were still alive, which means that guarantees that people know 2 innocents and they know you didn't get guilty on d3. You're playing scummy was a great way to not get NKed but you may have taken it a bit too far. Also, investigating me N2 after I handed the town skitz - there could have been better choices there. Oh, well - learning from your mistakes is the best way.

For the town after I died, just because I was right on one person doesn't make me right on the others. You shouldn't have lynched him so quick, especially with him hinting at cop. I didn't help much I guess but I was only hinting cop to get NKed to get the cop one more day of investigation, which didn't work out very well. I knew it was either d3 or Mean, but mean seemed really scummy so I figured it was d3, especially with him going after Neraren consistently D2, thought he had a guilty, hence my suspicion of Neraren.

Overall good game for scum, but you got lucky cop acted like he did.

Good game all.

[Zeppo]

Agreed, we were very lucky with the cop and with the eagerness to lynch Corn for a silly slip up.

All the same, max you were killing me at the end not finishing it!

Mr Mean what was going on in your head?
Well done scum

[DeathSauce]

Mr. Mean carries most of the blame here, no breadcrumbing at all, and then when he finally pushes hard with an almost claim, it's on someone he hasn't investigated? Poor play over all by Mean in this game.

I had Max pegged as scum, but nothing on you Zeppo, well played.

[skitzer]

Hey, good game Mafia, I just want to say to competentpsycho: Thank you for helping me. I really learned a lot. I'm sorry for hampering the Mafia.

[d3sisted]

Well, guess I was kinda close. Good game, everyone.

Thanks for a well modded game, ErgO, for staying on top of the votecounts and replacements.

As for Mean... meh. You're new, so I hope you learned something from this game.
Basically, we lost our only advantage over the scum, and that was a cop with headstart. Ultimately, this cost us the game.

[Erg0]

First off, thanks to all the players for keeping the game active throughout and making my life fairly easy. I was pretty happy with the pace and posting level of this game relative to some other 12 player games.

It's definitely true that Mr. Mean didn't take the best option with his play on Day 3. The speculative vote on d3sisted wasn't so bad, but a full claim would definitely have been the best course of action. The town still would have had some work to do from that point, but a cop should never,

ever

allow themselves to be lynched without claiming in an open game.

Other than that, the level of play was pretty decent throughout and I was actually pleasantly surprised by the flow of the game given the scarcity of power roles in the setup. I'm starting to think that having fewer power roles in games may actually be a partial solution to the massive lurking that occurs in a lot of closed minis.

Thankyou and goodnight!

[Mr. Mean]

Oh, blame it on me. All of my searches were on townies, so what was I suposed to do!?!

[Erg0]

I don't agree that it was entirely your fault, but giving your results when you were about to be lynched would have been valuable, even though they were innocents. Two confirmed townies means two fewer potential lynch targets, plus the town would have had a shot at lynching someone other than you (hopefully scum) on day 3 if they believed your claim.

As a general principle, you should always claim your power role before you're lynched, if only to give the town a chance to reconsider.

[competentpsycho]

Oh, blame it on me. All of my searches were on townies, so what was I suposed to do!?!

It wasn't all your fault and hey, you'll learn with experience. A good thing for you would probably be to read through a few of the newbie games and maybe play one.

[Cornelius]

Oh, blame it on me. All of my searches were on townies, so what was I suposed to do!?!

I believe I should also share some of the blame. (I'm assuming I'm allowed to post now that the game's over, right?)

I managed to anger quite a few people very quickly and put a huge target on my back, therefore putting the town at a quick disadvantage down one townie after Day 1.

[Zeppo]

^I'm still surprised everyone leaped on you Corn. Mr Mean what was your reasoning for pointing a finger at d3sisted as you went out?

[Mr. Mean]

^I'm still surprised everyone leaped on you Corn. Mr Mean what was your reasoning for pointing a finger at d3sisted as you went out?

He was one of the few who I didn't search for. He seemed like scum to me.

[Max]

Seemed like scum to me to.

Wait the game has ended right.

Knowing that d3sisted wasn't scum I can see explanations for every action... Erg0 who would you say was the MVP and the LVP

[d3sisted]

Me, obvsly.

[d3sisted]

Kidding.
I'd say Max did pretty well staying under the radar and all there, so he takes scum MVP...

Town MVP is alot harder to choose, but i think it should go to Competentpsycho for staying on top of that scum wagon. It's a shame you were killed off N2.
