nope everyone was pretty much inactive by this time except the mob so it was pretty unlikely you'd get called on anything
well played!

Blasphemy!
In all seriousness, it is either a strong role or a weak role. If the hatter can figure out who a few of the mafia are quickly, but aren't able to push a lynch, it can be a very strong role. Dreamflower from mafia 15 comes to mind. Otherwise, it is a weak role.

dreamflower imba!
I loved reading that game.

meh, I just think if given the choice I'd rather take a 1 shot vigilante over a hatter any day. Way stronger and more useful since they can confirm themselves without dying.
|
my list for final mafia were rastaban and pyrr + random cause it seemed JUST like BC to pull a cover with rastaban sayign BC claimed DT to him and wtf to do to buy him time and then his huge post on me was the tipping point. And the fact that pyrr wasn't dead yet seemed weird, he's a strong player regardless so for him to be town and not die sent off huge warning signs. Oh well. GG, at that point I was wayyyy too tired from my trip/interview to make any real argument, I ended up passing out

I still don't see how the plan was bad if you concede there was an urgency to create a circle and that a potential hatter losing out on bombs is a reasonable price to pay for a circle in this set-up. In another game faced with the same situation I would do the same thing, making sure to be more active. I have read nothing to make me change my mind.
Also, the fake-claim played no role what-so-ever: I could not have done anything different if I were the actual hatter. I did revealed I was green right before the flip, but by then the votes were what they were and it was better to tell the town why I was going to flip green. In fact it was a good decision, which allowed the real hatter to live 1 more night.

On another note, with citizen's plan: I'm surprised mafia didn't take advantage of one more major hole in the plan. Citizen called for a DT to use a mouth to claim to him. Unfortunately, that's a really bad move that can get mafia some forced lynches. Nobody seemed to see that mafia can claim to be a DT mouth (for a fake DT obv), then claim DT found a red. Town lynches said "red" the next day, but he flips up town. Mafia (fake DT mouth) says oh hmm my DT must be a fake, then offers a town name to lynch. Town lynches the "DT" and oops! its not a DT, whereupon the fake DT mouth finally dies. Which takes 3 whole days. Just imagine how much chaos the mafia can cause throughout that period, not to mention that you still have unresolved issues with the fake claim by citizen etc. So yes, BC blasting citizen was warranted even if he was town. But I think he would've done a more thorough job as town there if he saw things from a slightly different perspective. Regardless, there are numerous things wrong with citizen's plan, as Ace kindly pointed out.
This is a non-issue. If the mafia fake-claimed to have their own DT, there would be too many DTs so we would not trust their "checks". The problem then would be how to find the fake-claim vs. the real one - and here the confirmed DT would help.
Like I said, everybody talks of "many holes" but... the details are sketchy.
Whatever, I will drop it.

I'm with you. I really believed most of the stuff I said about killing DTA even if he was hatter because he would just end up killing innocents. Turns out the hatter was Zeks, but I was right about the Hatter doing more harm than good.

Aww, I like the chaos that a hatter injects into the game.
|
The main problem is that most people who get the mad hatter role will put bombs on people no matter what, just because they can.
|
Yeah, because TL townplay is weak. There's a way to play Hatter correctly, and it does not involve placing a bomb every night.
|
Well it's the same idea I use for Vigilantes. If I ever roll hatter the only people that are getting bombs are scum and worthless townies. Problem is that a hatter can't confirm themselves without death, which also happens to be the only way their power activates.
So I pray for Vigilante instead ^_^
ETA: TL's overall play has gotten much better than it was 2 years ago. Before you had no hope of some basic things working out without a major fight.

I can't believe no one listened to me and took out Pyrr.

And that's why I prefer the Hatter. I don't like roles that are confirmed too easily. Also, the hatter has to draw a hit and figure out mafia the town haven't found yet. I think the role just takes more skill to use properly and is more interesting.
|
I'm not a fan of easily confirmed roles either, just that if there was a better way for Hatters to confirm themselves at all besides death I'd probably like them more. Could be too broken though :'(
