You stealth-hydra'd? Or is Gonzoooo a known hydra I just didn't know about because I'm new?
I was inclined to side with the hydras-give-unfair-advantage side of the debate before this, but REALLY am inclined that way now, after this game. Dammit, I want a quicktopic and an extra set of eyes telling me I'm crazy or on the right track.
TBH, the mafia QT is really boring xD. I have no problems with showing it if Smash/vollkan don't. The setup may have been broken simply considering that the mafia got the rolecop as early as possible (barring a mislynch on the rolecop, which would be really unlikely) and we never got any use out of it.
Also, as soon as I saw two VT deaths, I was praying that there wouldn't be a massclaim... I saw someone say to NL without talking, but sadly they had unvoted by the time I made it to the thread .
I also agree that it would be interesting as a larger setup, maybe even closed.

Well, it was kind of an unconscious decision. We decided we wanted to hydra and it just kind of didnt' come up after the game started, so we decided it wouldn't be a big deal.
As far as the hydras are overpowered argument, I think you'd need to play with more hydras. Some are and some aren't. Both DDD and I are relatively decent players on our own, so perhaps Gonzoooo was. On the other hand, it honestly was mostly me posting so most of what you were seeing was VPB except for close to the beginning and closer to the end. I'm happy to share our QT if DDD wants to do that as well.
One interesting thing of note was that DDD had the initial negative gut reaction to dj, but I was doing all of the posting at that time. So I was kind of working from DDD's meta even though I was slightly less confident than him!
@lew - mod said it was up to the scum team if they want to reveal it or not.

I think jk's are way more powerful/useful than docs.

I don't think it was broken. Town was really strong and hardly any town were suspicious of other town.
Also you were slightly unlucky dj wasn't forced to claim which would have helped things for you.

Well, I'm currently undecided on the hydras are overpowered vs. not overpowered argument so I won't RAGE but I still think that you should have at least told
me
, your
moderator
, that Gonzoooo was a hydra.

I'd be quite interested in seeing the QT, if DDD doesn't mind.

yeah, I missed that... apologies. If scum don't want, np.
I have nothing against hydras. I do not think they are overpowered per se. Moreover, this very hydra played very good, but I believe that single VP and single DDD would have played more or less at the same level as gonzooo...
all in all, I think that the best town-player in this game is DJ.
vollkan was prolly the best scum, but his smashbro vote was a big mistake, and so was his giving scumpoints to PO as soon as someone softly fosed him. I was surprised that no one openly agreed with me, but from the hydra-qt I see someone actually did
Used to play a lot, haven't played for like 8 years, would like to play again.

vp: i wasn't trying to set you up. just kind of figured you had to be town once i realized how important the mafia jk was. had you gone with the plan their it would have been fine. when sss flipped i used the one on one off theory. had to shoot myk just to be sure. narrowed down scum between thad and implo. then looking at the wagon i saw volkans vote as the most likely to be a bus. thanks for sharing the qt.
I was vig-killed? That was my obvtown-non-caring-vanilla-with-little-time-meta...
Well, for the game. Wrong about Gonzo (VP, I really should avoid you. You are always scum), Wrong about PO, almost right on vollkan (next time I'll have you again), right about Don.
But shot by a townie :/ Well, there's a first for everything.
Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.
I PM'd vollkan for permission so here you go: Mafia QT
