Say scum hits townie and blocks SK, it's 2-2-1. Okay we lynch scum again 2-1-1. Scum doesn't want to shoot a townie in this situation because then he'll lose to SK. SK can shoot townie but then he'll get in a draw with scum if scum hits him I believe. The best actions for everybody on this night (if they want to win) is that scum shoots SK and hope that SK misses him for a draw, and SK shoots scum and doesn't care what else happens and then we'll be in 2-1(SK) situation. This only requires us to scum hunt today which is the most reliable thing we can do. I don't like this roleblocker thing one bit and we can do that tomorrow if we absolutely have to. There's no reason to compromise on our scum reads today to kill roleblocker. It's a lot better to be sure to kill scum and then get another day and more time in similar situation. From 3-2-1, scum hits SK and blocks SK. It's 3-2-1 and we have a situation like today except the SK is a lot weaker to scum which doesn't benefit town. We still need to lynch scum on this day even though we didn't get roleblocker so we have another shot at killing him here. From 3-2-1, scum doesn't block SK, then it didn't matter if we lynched roleblocker anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong. | ||

##Vote Shraft I think it's more likely that the SK appears less scummy than everybody else and Shraft is easily the scummiest in the thread and if we lynch SK then we lose. gl hf | ||

That's how it's possible to play this game. | ||

I don't think that town could have figured out my alignment very well on day1 (maybe partly because my town is bad but that's irrelevant) because suggesting a policy lynch 5 minutes into the game is generally not something scum do. They can prod me with it (and they did!) but then I just made up a dumb case and that's generally not something scum will do either when faced with the very simple logic: we don't lynch people just because you don't like them. I imagine scum will say "alright" and back off instead of just start making a dumb case. When zentor ends up getting lynched with 8 votes they can't even blame me for leading that lynch. The only way I think I could have been caught for sure was this post by VisceraEyes: + Show Spoiler + On June 22 2012 13:43 VisceraEyes wrote: prplhz is good town player. I say this not because he's often right (because he's not) but because he's often very transparently town, like me. Surprisingly Normal Mini Mafia II My first game with prplhz. His play is much better these days, but this is a good illustration of what I mean when I say a good town player. Contributing, honest and willing to talk about things. Open with his suspicions, and reacts decently to pressure (ironically, I thought he was scum and tunneled him pretty bad.) Furthermore, I don't think prplhz is the type of player to bring a grudge like that between games. He's not that kind of player, and has been around long enough to know that's a losing strategy. He's putting on a show. I think so because look at how he reacts to my interaction with it. To be honest, I like my vote where it's at...I just don't want to stop scumhunting with marvel. The bolded statement is very true, when I saw that zentor was in the game I thought "well, lets just make a fresh start" but then I thought "meh, I'll just tunnel the shit out of him because I'm scum and I have a semi-legitimate reason". I think scum's biggest mistake was that we didn't shoot marvellosity on night3. We were pretty sure that he'd shoot VisceraEyes but somehow we didn't predict that that would make him confirmed town and that everybody would be very likely to just sheep him allowing for zero manipulation. If we had shot him then people might have sheeped Probulous on whatever but that was more unlikely since he would not be confirmed and with a mislynch scum would be in a decent position (we would probably have squandered it but anyway). slOosh and rastaban both played well. Like pointed out, slOosh was susceptible to manipulation with his Snarfs read (I think he backed off of Snarfs because I called him null-leaning-town and there wasn't any other support for it either) and he'll just need to change that. I don't know if making small posts or big posts in trying to manipulate town into lynching the guy you want lynched is anything town needs to work on as long as you're making yourself clear. Scum thought that Shraft was the serial killer until the end and I think rastaban did a good job hiding. This could have won him the game if he'd just been a little better at hitting scum with his shots (shooting scum instead of Shraft would lead to 2-1-1 with rastaban on two lives which would be winning position for him if remaining scum would shoot Shraft thinking that he was the SK). marvellosity made a huge comeback but I think that having a 23 page filter in a 75 pages 12 player game is way too much and absolutely unnecessary. You'll do a lot better cutting down on that. | ||

Two reasons (policy + scummy) to lynch someone is better than one (scummy)! You can have a weaker scum read that you don't talk about. That's perfectly okay. Some people talked about the timing and that was probably right, I made the Zephirdd post 'cause I was afraid people would go after me for not doing anything but tunneling zentor. As a townie I probably wouldn't be afraid and I wouldn't post the Zephirdd case at that time (I would wait until the night deadline or I would accompany it with a vote), but as a townie that would probably have gotten me lynched for only tunneling zentor (but as a townie I wouldn't have done that anyway so  ) | ||

Really well done on the roleblocker lynch though, no clue how you pulled that off ('cause you refused to tell me other than "I spent 4 hours figuring it out!" ). | ||

That last scenario is wildly speculative. You can't just say "if part of the game didn't happen but everybody else played the same then this and that would have happened" because I doubt anybody would have played the same if VisceraEyes/marvellosity wasn't going on. You can't just take something out and leave the rest in because the rest will of course have changed too. At the same time you are suggesting that there would have been no mislynches at all if VisceraEyes/marvellosity hadn't been going on. I really doubt that and you should know it's not that easy to find scum, I have never seen you pick out scum teams on day1. The main job of the host is to make the game enjoyable for everybody and you did a really great job as usual except for the postgame analysis (well, mostly the Obs QT). | ||
