Honestly youngminii was under suspicion by you and subversion for being the gf. Following your own guts was prob the smart move there. It was actually beneficial to town to off citizen there as it gave more information, confirmed he had been lying, etc...

It's a ridiculous suspicion as well. If you look at it logically, you have a slim shot at hitting the Godfather; the majority of the time if you find a townsperson you want to start your circle then and there. Keeping Subversion away from Amber[LighT] and youngminii long enough to get enough blame on Pandain allowed me to escape with almost no blame.

Exactly, I thought young was GF for a good long time. I thought BC was regular mafia, and South was maybe suicide bomber given how much he got defended.
Got 2 of 3 alignments right, 0 of 3 roles. Ahh well.

yeah, you guys really should have had 3 KP, but what am I supposed to do, change that mid-game?
I guess with everything else I did it wouldn't have been that out of place.
Second, Ace, you can kiss my ass dude. I am trying to do this as a favor, so get that negative shit out of here. Do you think I don't realize I fucked up? Thanks for rubbing salt on a wound.

for the record I never called for a XeliN protect I was actually thinking that siniquity wouldn't protect anyone at all
well played at the end. no one took notice of the lurkers, and then when all the blues died the lurkers came out and won the game I am pretty sure siniquity was protecting you by the way.

I was on so many peoples red lists, sucked hard, more surprising I wasn't killed sooner. I didn't even want the gf position either, I wanted regular goon and to give gf to pyrr, but everyone thought I should have it early on so i just took it.

I thought you'd be more likely to be checked since I'd been gone a while.

Let's just discuss the game and not start a dramabomb, guys.
So my gut instinct for who was originally mafia:
BC (after day 2)
chaoser (wrong)
Pyrrholuxia (didnt have much to go on other than weird voting patterns and sketchy behavior, but apparently that was enough lol)
tree.hugger (wrong)
SouthRawrea (right)
rastaban (after the fakeclaim, but this was the one where I was like "well, maaaaaybe...")
Well... I had 4 of 6 down no trouble. The issues I have with my play were:
1) Failed Day 1. Like, seriously failed Day 1. Forgot the game was even going on, rushed in and voted to escape modkill, and... yeah, you see what happened. It put me in a position where I was forced to work while many people did not trust me/people were actively suspecting me.
2) Gave up on the roleclaim idea way too quickly. After BC shouted it down, I knew BC likely scum, but did not then follow up with my second idea (instead of vetclaim, mass townclaim). I thought that town opinion was too against me and BC was too loud for it to stand a chance of succeeding. Looking back, if we had mass roleclaimed day 2, mafia wouldn't have stood a chance in hell. We would have lost blues, yeah, but mafia would have been screwed. When you know exactly how many of each role is in a game, roleclaims are uberpowerful, and we never utilized this weapon until it was too late and it was just green vs. red.
3) Didn't communicate my suspicions clearly enough in the thread. I had this great list I was running, but I never posted it, and I never said "well, what about this?" The reasons are twofold: one, I am working 16 hours a day and don't really have the time to devote to mafia fully, and two, I was still scared of getting lynched. Even after I was (mostly) cleared by BC flipping red and Pandain not flipping red, I was still too timid. Gotta take more risks.
Well, that's how BrownBear failed. Now did BrownBear succeed at all?
1) Nailed 4 of 6 mafia just by reading the thread. That's gotta count for something, even if I didn't get these findings out to town fast enough/at all
2) Called Pandain being miller. I tend to play by gut instinct versus statistical probability. The reason is, mafia is very much not black and white. Divinek might think it is, but he's wrong  Mafia is shades of grey, and if a very pro-town player I've had a PM relationship with since Day 2 might be miller, I'm more inclined to think he's miller over he's scum. The reason I do this is because my gut instincts tend to be correct. Not always, but they tend to be. Check it out: Pandain flipped Miller. Pyrrhuloxia ended up being scum in the end. BC was scum. chaoser wasn't, okay, but my gut instincts were mostly correct.
If you don't like the way I play, deal. I trust my brain way more than I trust some numbers on a piece of paper.
So in closing, Brownbear's game was a lot of fail with a side dish of mild success. I also survived almost to the end as well, so that's something!
I will post in a couple hours with thoughts on the rest of the game (other players, the setup), and the Bearies.

1.Too impulsive, made Subversion "doubt me" Also got me in sticky situations
2.Too trusting, trusted everyone in secret alliance =D. Especially proct, who I just thought was confused. Also too persuadable, as I was easily persuaded by mafia again and again.
3.Mis-guessed so many people for little "one liner mistakes". which is not enough to prove that you are mafia. Huge mistake, especially with Hyperbola.
4. Trusted people who made long posts, viewed them as "pro town"
Also add to this that I always defended the "lurkers" because they had said they had "real life problems" and i always believed them T_T

It's okay, it's a common first-game mistake. You're way too trusting, lol. Happens to everyone

You really should have pushed a massroleclaim idea. My attacking of your plan (it wasnt super solid) but was to avoid a mass roleclaim in the end. I was so afraid of that since it would auto grape the mafia. Also, you reallllly have to argue with me. See games were L/Ace, Me/Ace, Me/L, Ver/anyone, etc..... where arguing happens. It gives huge info on the players, as well as helps flesh out potential good plans to make them realllly good. The issue was town got too distracted by random antics of like YM or the like.

Most people do have real life problems, the issue is, its not a valid defense. Just because I work stupid amounts of hours doesn't mean im not red. It just means I won't be as active and am expected to perform with less time. its rough

Agreed. A mass roleclaim would have destroyed Mafia. You lynch those with a triple claim and check the remaining, and suicide bomber has a one-time use.
BrownBear, for the most part I feel you played a pretty good game, circumstances disregarding. If your plan had been pushed through, it would have won the game very quickly. Luckily, or unluckily for you, James is quite the influential poster.
Also youngminii, you really let the town focus on you haha. That definitely allowed the Mafia quite an escape route for a while.
|
nah, my plan was eh, but it was really to lead into a mass-roleclaim idea. You successfully scared me into not going for it, though, so good on you
And yeah, the argument was what sold it to me that you were mafia. Nobody noticed cause everyone thought I was scummy though. That, and young played horribly :/
