I wouldn't say my play was "strong"... Indeed I avoided being lynched, but it was because I mostly focused on survival (appearing as a noob townie) and didn't achieve much for Mafia outside of our own thread discussion. Also, I was lucky, since Risen caused two wasted days where nothing really happened (except townies died at night...).

To me this game was enjoyable, although it was limited by a couple of issues (disinteresting days 2+3, too easy to blend in on day 1 with so much randomness, WBG's endless trolling, too easy to survive on day 4+ even though I suddenly started lurking). It was fun though - mostly because of the very active Mafia discussion and somehow quite active day 1

But I can see why a vanilla townie might find this game a bit boring.

Thanks to all for this game and see you later! I can't participate in a while (going to the army), but I'll reappear later at some point, and then you can analyze my play with my post history

Just saw town lost. Sigh. GG mafia team.
It is pretty difficult trying to sub not a game and try to catch up on so much filter and stuff where you can make an impact. After the Arco lynch, I was really hoping people would have read my case on Xatalos..I was fairly convinced of him being mafia when I posted that. I guess I cold have pushes it harder, but agai, trying to come in with thread presence halfway thru a game feels so weird.
If anyone has any criticism, have at it...I am all ears.

GG.

Don't be too harsh on yourself

If I had to make a list of who I wanted to kill the most during this game, you would probably be ranked #2. SLJ seemed like the most dangerous player to me, because he suspected chaoser early on and was very confident he could find the remaining Mafia during day 2. At first I wanted to kill GreYMisT too, but he did nothing to clear himself of suspicions or to push a lynch, so we left him for town to kill. There's only so much you can do alone... Most of the town didn't feel very threatening at all. Only SLJ and you gave me the feeling "this player has to die by tomorrow". Although I guess you could have pushed for me harder or made another case to clear GreYMisT/risk.nuke or to lynch chaoser/Kohbee...

Xatalos: I told sandroba that you seemed scum based on your very first posts due to the drivel about sc2 mafia. I could conclude based on your relative fluent English that you weren't stupid enough to believe in that. Unfortunately neither of us was very interested in actually playing the game.

Heh, good for us then

Why didn't you shoot me with your vigi shot though? Or even mention me? It'd be fun to be town in my next game - if only to see how differently I would behave then. I tried to act like a useless townie, but it's really hard to act against your instincts, especially if you write a lot of text. However, I wasn't under real pressure at any point (luckily), which made it easier.

Yeah, I don't get the layabout lynch either xD Like, WTF happened there? We didn't even push him or anything, except gumshoe saying "I think he's a useless townie, so I'll vote for him!"

Hmm, any notes about my Mafia play WBG? When and how did you exactly figure I was Mafia? What should I have done differently? Was it good to lurk towards the end and avoid attention? What about my noobie actions during day 1?

wait, a vig shot sandro?

WTF? WHAT LOOL

Yeah, we used 1KP on him and MrZentor also shot him, so he died regardless of the fact that Mattchew was protecting him.

Good thing you weren't town

It only takes a couple of people on the right track to get things done... Luckily, there weren't many this time around. You can read through the Mafia chat to see our thought processes more clearly.

My only regret is that we did not kill lyter like I originally planned to and thus would have caused WBG to lose.

Lol, I can see the pure evil flowing from your post

I would have maybe preferred a lynchable (but not killable) hidden third party with an objective to kill everyone else, cause the town to lose or something equally "dramatic"... Unlynchable just seems a bit too much IMO. It's a quite interesting idea, I have to admit, but being untouchable makes a role also less interesting.

And everyone knowing the role of said untouchable person makes it so easy to just totally ignore one of the players... Which makes the role less interesting to use too.

scum actually fucked this up. They should have shot you and mattchew. They were guarenteed a kill and if you were bluffing maybe get 2 if mattchew doesnt jail you. At worst mattchew jailing you would roleblock so he would die, at best you get 2 kills

That's true actually... But what if the Medic was someone else than Jitsu healing Mattchew, and Mattchew healing Jitsu? Then we would get zero kills and town would have some pretty convincing role claims. At least this way it was a quaranteed kill of a powerful blue role...
