I was Protoss a.k.a. the noob.

Wanted to thank Orange/GM for helping me learn and not making me feel stupid while doing it. Not to say other people didn't help as well, but GM never went out of his way to make me feel dumb. =P Definitely made a lot of rookie mistakes, but learned a lot, too!

Had fun, thanks again.

That would be a correct guess gmarshal. You may all reveal roles/aka's if you want. I won't however make that mandatory and aliases won't be revealed by me personally. The setup was 3 medics 2 roleblockers rest town. I only added 1 roleblockers from last game. There were no traitors or any of the other listed roles.

3 medics 2 RB's is very hard to mafia to win. I play a lot on epicmafia.com and i would say that mafia will win that only like < 20% of the time. The no reveal helped mafia a little, but still not too much.

Mafia won the first exp mafia. It was maybe a mistake to use the same setup though, considering mass claim.

It was an error for me to allow people to talk about the set up after last game. I should of banned that, was really dumb. The set up wasn't actually the same. Last game had only 1 role blocker, meaning the mafia was at an even greater disadvantage. Although I will say that this wasn't entirely designed for balance. It was designed to meet certain criteria conducive to the experiment, which I feel it did if I had more activity. Unfortunately luck wasn't on my side, but hopefully I still have enough information for my papers.

Thanks for all the participation.

Hey, I was blue. I am pretty new myself and wanted to use this experiment to try out a new strategy. I am sorry for being kind of a jerk, but this was kind of my theme this game. Also I pretty much knew orange was GM, and I expected him to being good at scum so that's the reason for my tunnel. I'm getting pretty used to being wrong though, so great job town for seeing things more clear than I did.

GM kind of randomly assuming pink2 was scum to the point of making that gambit, made it impossible for me to see anything else he did as constructive behaviour. Also, since I was pretty sure orange was gm there was some meta going on behind the scenes that threw me off completely.

Red and Zerg were scum. Green was something that was most likely just a vanilla townie. An insane vanilla townie but townie all the same.

I had about a 60% scum read on you night 1, and just decided to tunnel to see what the reactions would be, I figured it being a smurf game I could try something outside of my usual play and get away with it, by the time day 3 rolled around I was sure you weren't mafia, but decided to keep at it, to see who would try to abuse that tunneling (see zerg 'deciding' you were mafia, it was because he thought I would push for your lynch since I "knew" you were scum)

All in all it was a learning experience, I think I may try it out more in my regular play

bad sand, no making assumptions about meta in a smurf game! thats half the fun of smurfing getting to try out things you wouldn't usually do ^_^

On being a jerk, you weren't really, it was just measured aggression as far as I was concerned, except for the whole "if I'm wrong I'm done" thing, that wasn't cool, but at least now you know for next time.
