In terms of actual contribution to the game, as townies we have two responsibilities: 1. Find scum and kill them 2. Establish ourselves as town. I failed on #1 but I think for the most part I was okay on #2. No one really thought I was scum beyond VE, and at no point did I ever feel threatened by lynch. If you're not trying to find scum, then what are you doing? I dunno. At no point did I feel like you were actively looking for scum. That's why I was so harsh on you. It wasn't personal or anything (so sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way) but when people don't actually scumhunt, and then berate others for being wrong, it's incredibly frustrating because they can't possibly be wrong when they don't try to begin with. There's this famous hockey quote (or something like that) that says you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Anyway, big thanks to Flamewheel and jcarl for hosting! I didn't take anything personally. So don't worry about that. It's mafia, I know better. But I'll give you some advice for free, you need to expand your thinking when it comes to this game. Your style may work better when it comes to smaller games but you gotta adapt. You should note that I fit your criteria for #2 very well except for perhaps your eyes and risk.nuke, depending on how serious you guys were about shooting me if you could. You may miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take, but it's not always right to take a shot. Sometimes shots make things worse. And what if someone else is better at shooting than you are? You pass them the puck. So why the hell would I start shooting from the hip when we had strong, strong contributions from very strong and almost assuredly townie players? I wasn't mad at you just for being wrong. You were wrong, admitted as such kinda by saying people wouldn't listen to you, but then carried on again doing your own thing when there were excellent contributions from other people that were better to look into in every way. Why did you try to do your own thing so obsessively? For more comparison's sake, compare me with just about every mafia lurker and think about who was more suspicious. Who had me as mafia over opz? Or munk-E? Macpo? L? Nisani? Heck, a bunch of townies were more suspicious than I was. I believe that list includes you. Prolly not by much, though. Point is I was doing my part. You may not choose to acknowledge it but I don't mind. On the other hand you admit to playing badly but it really doesn't seem like you're trying to learn from it at all. | ||

My lynch was completely retarded. I mean, I guess I can relate to if BC really had no clue what he was doing, but it's just... bad. @Wherebugsgo: I don't like the fact that you are trying to call me out for playing badly. I repeatedly asked you to present a case that wasn't meta, and I explained why your case was not valid. In addition, I tried to get Protactinium into office who fingered Cyriandor, BloodyC0bbler and macpo. I also tried to get VisceraEyes into office. In addition I myself presented a case against Ciryandor and fingered sandroba and BloodyC0bbler. I can't actually see how this is any way scum motivated. The case was terrible, the decision to act on it was terrible. | ||

I read L's filter and realized that in all of his posts he actually said absolutely nothing. Boil it all down and you got "Duh". Incog apparently came to the same conclusion at about the same time I did. I was seriously considering waiting another day but I figured there was a pretty good chance I'd get lynched since I was on the same list he had L on. I also briefly considered shooting VE. But his filter wasn't anything at all like L's. So instead of shooting him I just started calling him scum. If VE was scum he would have a major meltdown around the 3rd time I fos'd him. He never did so I was pretty sure he was town. But it was still fun calling him scum. I can't believe people still thought I was scum after shooting their Godfather. | ||

The heaviest push on you happened more or less as I left. As i was in a rush to avoid a modkill your name went down as up til I left you were pretty apathetic. Had i been able to fully catch up on the thread before the deadline I most likely wouldn't have picked you, doesn't really mean much now however lol | ||

It was seriously hard work keeping up with this game, particularly as I was spending a lot of time checking up meta. Because Bum and Nisani were at the bottom of the player list I barely got around to re-reading them despite having them marked as suspicious. I never managed to post one proper analysis, because L died before I finished one on him, and my BM & OpZ posts got pre-empted. By day 3 I strongly suspected that scum morale was awful which is why I was stressing recent inactivity as a scumtell. | ||

Now I can pretty much gauge how much time is needed for a mafia game. Hopefully I roll town next one, and don't get manslaughtered | ||

I was aware that I wasn't having much impact on the thread, but with the time I had available i tried to do what I could, having ciryandor as my day 1 lynch target and BC as my mayor choice. I suspected Incog at first primarily because of his case against BC when it looked like the town might be ready to unite behind him. After the macpo lynch I pretty much decided to trust protact/BC/foolishness for the forseeable future. About macpo, when people wanted to lynch him for being uncertain and self-doubting in his first post, I wanted to defend him because I remember in my first game being very hesitent and having no confidence at all. Guess that's a scumtell for a reason. Mostly the game was proceeding in an acceptable manner (aside from way too much unnecessary posting), so there was no need for me to do anything drastic. I know it's important for townies to establish their innocence and I will hopefully do better at that next time, but it was actually pretty enlightening to be the target of various accusations and to be able to judge people's intent based on the way the accusations were made. I never responded to any of them, either because they were dozens of pages back when I finally caught up to the thread, or because I just didn't feel threatened. Maybe I should have been more worried but I wasn't. I've never been lynched as town and I didn't intend to start. | ||

It really did seem like you genuinely just went with an easy lynch since you didn't have time to actually scumhunt. I mean, I don't care that much, it's actually a good opportunity for people to understand why meta is bad. It's bad play, and I'm certain that in hindsight you agree it was bad play, but I mean, we all fuck up. Me lynching YM in that huge-ass game wasn't much better, although I did provide a case, but that case just concluded he was being an asshole, which should have told me he's town, not the other way around. | ||

Essentially this. I can't believe they let BM off the hook day 3 because of his meta. Yes the bomb thing did play a part, but when the posts are 'It's BM, he could do anything', that's just stupidity. | ||
