Yeah so gg everybody!

I feel like this was an all-around win - scum really only needed one or two more mislynches after the vote rigged double lynch.

Key elements to the victory - good "town atmosphere" leadership by Hapahauli and a generally productive town that made it impossible for Yamato and sinani to stay hidden; bauss job catching acro by keirathi; and the accumulation of five (!) confirmed townies due to marv and me winning the world wifom championships on consecutive nights, as well as scum's curious blindness to keirathi's lovers claim.

GG guys.

Kei never said anything about lovers before the end of the game. He explicitly said that if we claim we would leave out the "lovers" thing. By the time he had hinted enough towards it, we had the numbers.

Thanks to Kei for having to deal with me as a mason partner, and to Kurumi for hosting ^^

Setup comments: in general, I liked the way roles were distributed. If Ryan was an actual third party whose wincon was to kill all masons, and there was something in the OP about a mason hunter, the I think it would have been a very good setup. That would have created a real dilemma for things like keirathi and corazon claiming, instead of basically just making them two free confirmed towns, plus I imagine having reasons to keep their identities secret in the mason qt would have made some interesting dynamics for the mason circle.

I like the idea of having three different classes of roles as a way to balance a themed game - ie, the "real vanilla" roles, then the "fake vanilla" roles, and then the real blue roles. I also really liked how prplhz's role interacted with the rest of the setup, in that it rewards prp for figuring out roles, and adds another level to claiming / fake claiming.

Two things I don't like. First, I don't like the way obviousone's role worked out. The concept is fine and actually quite clever. However, I think the prohibition against letting people know about the extra information has to go farther - you can't be able to say "I know this thing but I can't tell you why or else I'll be modkilled." That doesn't leave anything unclear, because the only way a player could get that kind of information without getting modkilled just for having it is if the information comes from the host. Plus then when he dies, you can just go to his filter and look for what he said he knew but couldn't say for fear of getting modkilled. IMO it should be harder to figure that out.

That said, his role didn't actually matter this game, because Marv confirmed himself with his roleblock before we ever would have lynched him, regardless of OO's extra information.

Second, I don't like how kurumi came into the thread with the "to modkill or not to modkill" stuff. That made me a lot more trusting of Marv's claim than I otherwise would have been, and while I tried to ignore it, there's always some subconscious bias. I think there was nothing wrong with what Marv said; if you're going to put roles with certain naming conventions into your game, you have to either give scum appropriate fake claims, or else you have to make the role names confusing. You can't expect people not to claim their role name and color, those are just basic things, and the "role pm rule" is there for things like comparing PM times and the wording of rules clauses and flavor text. That aside, if there's a question about modkilling for stuff that gets said in the game, it has to be made by the host outside of the thread, maybe in consultation with other hosts on irc or skype, but it needs to be outside of the game or else it will influence the game.

He said the thing about Marv's plans maybe not working out before the end of day 2, and as soon as he said that it was obvious what was going on. If scum had been paying attention they would have killed one of you with one of the day2 double lynches.

Role claims are always a thing where players try to confirm themselves without getting modkilled and you never know when the line will be crossed. After it is crossed, it usually is too late. There are ways to counteract this (different pms, role names and so on) but that does not always work (notice how I made Dandel Towny instead of Townie) and still can backfire.
OO did not get info that marv is town. You can check what would he learn in the "Roles!" section in the spreadsheet: He was given info that there are only 3 Mafioso N1.

Oh I thought it was when you were asking acro to explain how his unlynchable role worked because we could ensure a favorable outcome on mechanics.

Wow OO that was a fucking ballsy play then. Really gambling all-in on the Marv town read.

Also that would have been good to know when we all spent like 72 hours trying to figure out the fourth scum.

GG everyone.

I honestly enjoyed this game a lot (should be evident...this is my second longest filter ever, second only to Chrono which lasted like 10 game days/3 weeks irl) despite the weird setup, and felt like it was easily one of my personal best games on TL.

I do feel bad for rayn, though

GG

I still suck as mafia and got super demotivated after night 1.

Hapa played well, as did Keir. Marv bloomed late, which seemed like a product of Hapa's insistent badgering of him.

I will say, while Acro's role was powerful, the exclusion of a fourth scum hurt us in thread presence. I was too obvious this game, and Acro being the only other active mafia made it more likely for him to be lynched before there were any reasonable counter-arguments to him being mafia.

Sinani played alright as a lurky member, but without a claim or a good bus to give him town credit, it was really inevitable that town would lynch him before trying any of the claimed members.

Overall, I would trade Acro's "OP" role for a more conventional one like GF and have a fourth member. The balancing out wasn't beneficial enough to us in this particular game. If I had played better and been less suspicious early, or even stayed active day 2, things might have changed somewhat, but morale between me and Acro was low at that point in the QT so it just never materialized.

yes, you were superb, especially from the end of Day 1 onwards. sorry for trying to lynch you <3

edit: Basically Hapa & Kei were town MVPs, s&b & I merely get some mention for using our roles pretty much optimally.

GG Town. Two main things that fucked me up completely:

1. Thinking the QT in my role PM was the scumQT (though seriously, who wouldn't think that when it's tagged on at the end just after the "other members of the scum team") and claiming "some kind of vote rigger" there. + Show Spoiler [role pm] +


Original Message From Kurumi:
The Nice Guy

Oh, you are so nice you wouldn't ever hurt anyone! That's why you signed up for this Town's Scum team: to prevent harm to people you like. Of course, you have a trick that will help you achieve that: You can rig the votes! Obviously, you are going to use that only once, because people are pretty angry that they are getting killed and rigging them more than once would result in your inevitable death... Did I mention you are a part of a friendship circle? Of course you are! Can't let your friends down! You win when the Scum team equals the Town members or Town can't create a scenario where they'd win.

Scum team:
Acrofales
InsertSmurfHere
Sinani206

http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/dv8DsvrH3aKfR Role acquired QT, the only way you can communicate in your circle is this qt


2. Being in the countryside with no time at all and just my ipad to write on when suddenly there was a case against me.

ScumQT: http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/BvGguDyp9QB (not really much there)

Also, this game was a disaster balance-wise, but I've been over that in the QT. Also, I feel sorry for Rayn, who had an SK-esque wincon tagged onto his town wincon just to make shit harder.

Honestly, the balance could have been fixed all-around quite simply by making Rayn scum, removing me from the QT and leaving everything else exactly as it was... oh, and tell Hapa and Grack that it is not necessarily safe to claim their identity in the QT. A 4man scumteam while leaving the KP pretty much the same as it was now.

It was just a misunderstanding.

I had started writing up a post on why I wanted to lynch smurf, which would have ended with why I didn't want to lynch prplhz.

But I kept commenting on things after I started it, and then was dragged into defending myself for an hour+.

Your point made sense, it just didn't make me scum. I did act differently towards prplhz than Hapa did (IE, I didn't immediately unvote him), because I wanted it to look all nice and stuff.

I was pretty sad that everyone just sheeped you and forced me into claiming though

The problem was that Hapa and I had identical reactions, and it was the reaction I expected you to have as well. And in fact you did have it, you just decided to make a couple of other pointless posts first. So I'm entirely blaming you (not at all).
