I kinda just put it down to geript being bad at the time, maybe i need to up my expectations for geript and hold him to them. I honestly don't know how this differed from my town play. I know it did somehow. I don't know if how I meta people as town or scum is different but I feel like it is. I think how I push people is different too. It's a bit easier posting as scum once you stop caring about what you post. | ||

I would've wanted to lynch the crap out of you for how you played (or more appropriately didn't play). Like don't ever play blue like that again. It's really bad | ||

Because I'm the type of player that has to read and reread a million times. Honestly, that was the toughest thing for me to do as mafia because there's no real joy in finding mafia. It's a real drag to read and reread when I'm looking for odd things. I was really hoping the HF wouldn't come out until later in D2. I really wanted to see if I could get him lynched. | ||

Overall review of town, honestly I think the real problem is that so few people projected towniness well. GB had points where I found him towny, Sent too. Super and Sn0 I'd have been happy to lynch if I had been town. Palmer I never fucking know what to do with. I know Wave bitches/hates the fact that he's good at projecting towniness but bad at finding scum. The honest truth is that just being "towny" and being easily perceived as being "towny" is tough. Like being unlynchable because you're so towny is huge. It's a huge benefit. Granted I try to find scum differently than many people, but I've found that it's far easier and often far more correct to narrow your lynch pool. This game is a bit of an anomaly because there were 2 active scum who were able to come off as super towny and didn't bus each other or the third really. But in general, if you are able to remove 3-4 other players as being town in a mini then you can get a really good lynch off. Narrowing it down to a 50/50 or better is pretty good and it gets better later on. It's weird though because (even as scum) I couldn't find solid reasons for a lot of people to actually be town; then on top if it, I found things that were different about HF so I could retract my townread on him. | ||

I can't tell you how much trouble I've had with this in the past, so having someone act like it's not even a thing to not get lynched ever is kinda lame. Plus, Wave found rayn with relative ease and got him to modkill himself. That's like the crowning achievement of mafia: if you can play to the point where you can get a member of the opposite alignment to modkill themselves, you won the game so hard the scoreboard turned into diamonds. I don't think wave had a solid scum read on Rayn fwiw. In many regards, becoming unlynchable takes time. It is in part an extension of experience. It is in part showing your ability to hard carry a game. It is in part the amount of quantifiable effort you put into a game. To explain, veteran players who have any reasonable history of carrying a game (Hapa, Marv, VE, HF, Palmer, Austin, Kita, Foolishness, Keirathi, BH, etc) are just less likely to be lynched because of the downside of being wrong. After you play a bunch of games, you consciously or not get a feel for things that people find towny and things people find scummy. As well, over time you learn how to construct an argument that people find appealing. Honestly, half of looking towny is recognizing other towny individuals and the other half is recognizing individuals who are scummy. That way you organize yourselves into groups that naturally separate town and scum. The last part is effort. For most people, solving a puzzle is far more enjoyable than trying to trick people. So in general, town tries harder than mafia. So when you put in 8 pages of filter including obvious reading/thinking/analyzing you naturally look more towny. Like look at the variety of meta points I used to frame arguments. Sn0 was being useless, not helping, not reading and barely paying attention by his filter. Then I showed his town game included many of those things. It wasn't a simple lurker/asshole not productive argument which didn't work. It showed more effort than just "let's lynch scummy person X." Even Marvs argument on Damdred wasnt a rehash of my case on him. It was all that stuff, close mislynch and circumstantial Rayn information. Long story short, being towny is a lot like giving a memorable gift. The gift needs to be something of value; the gift needs to show sacrifice on the part of the giver; and the giver needs to mean something to the recipient. | ||
