NY 161: Overly-Posh Mafia (POSH WIN - NIGHT X)

[mastin2]

Hi, guys.

As a warning, our hydra hasn't been activated quite yet. So we can't play yet.

[mastin2]

This is going to be my sole out of hydra post.

But I need to make one more.

Mod:

My half of the hydra will be V/LA over the weekend.


Btw, TheReverand is pretty much confscum. Moz is bad, but not as bad.
I'll elaborate as soon as the damn hydra account is activated. (It STILL isn't.)

[mastin2]

Fake claiming as town might often be anti-town, but it's entertaining. We should be playing this game for fun, with winning next priority. It makes the game interesting.

For the player doing the fakeclaim, yes.

For the rest of the town, no.

If your fun comes at the detriment of the fun for the rest of the town, you're doing it wrong.


And UN, I'm not an easy mislynch most of the time. It's when I'm apathetic that I can be mislynched, because my interest in the game was zilch. The hydra wasn't activated, which created a loss of interest. And the constant spam-posting was a put-down. I can handle five pages a RL-day, but ten or even twenty? Nope.

And guess what?

That was the posting rate this game had.

The signal to noise ratio was off the charts. And despite my reputation...I just can't deal with that as a player. It

kills

my spirit if I've become lost, confused, and unable to properly determine scum-motivated play from just anti-town playstyles. This game did prove once more, though, that I shoulda trusted Nero. I realized by sometime mid-D3 (or was it D5? Well before the end, at least) that UN was pretty much certainly scum and that Nero was right there, but I didn't even care to mention that.

By the way, I never got a link to a dead QT. I'm not sure if Nero did, either.

ask mollie, she got a Scumwin out of it

That would be my first scumwin since Oversoul's Mini, no?

(No, seriously. Vs. Investigation is the first scum win I've had in a year or two. Followed closely by Playing with FIRE, of course, butyeah. Felt good to win that. )

[mastin2]

Then I hope you're never a cop when I'm scum.

He was. (Well, effective-cop, anyway.)

You still won.

[mastin2]

the signal to noise ratio was high, but look at who was doing it. mostly scum.

I had no way of knowing that, though.

Most of the time, when you get that high of a post-rate, policy-lynching the players who're the worst offenders will just land you town lynch after town lynch.
