Mini 1040 - Everyone's A Critic! [Game Over]

[nopointinactingup]

say Mykonian, are you doubting I'm town o_0?

[mykonian]

This was the one scenario I didn't want. I have had a very strong townread on you, but D3 I saw some towntells with shotty. If only one of you had been in endgame, I would have most likely gone for the other person alive.

But with both.

and an innocent result on shotty (I investigated him because I thought he was likely to get to endgame as scum would keep him alive) I was starting to doubt my reads.

Oh, yes, the reason I didn't want massclaim was because as cop (thats me), I was very content with the vig acting as a lightning rod for the kills. And it is common knowledge that the cop is the stronger role.

However, from day one I have expected that there was a GF in this setup. It would make sense as scum didn't really have other PR's available to them (the RB was a broken role).

[nopointinactingup]

Ahh I knew you were the cop when you hesitate so much after we lynch Shotty. Yup, there's a godfather alright ^^

[nopointinactingup]

It's reasonable for there to be a godfather, because the two mafias we goons and towns have 2 investigative tracker + cop combo which makes things exceedingly difficult for the mafia, that is if they have no godfather. So you were right to think there was a godfather.

[nopointinactingup]

But why didn't you believe in LMP's miller claim at first?

[mykonian]

at first I did. But I really haven't liked LMP's play pretty much the whole game.

Plus that miller is and stays a very good mafia fakeclaim. I could imagine that there was a mafia with 2 goons and a godfather, and that one of the goons would get the idea of fakeclaiming miller (hoping that the cop would support them).

[mykonian]

Ahh I knew you were the cop when you hesitate so much after we lynch Shotty. Yup, there's a godfather alright and it's me ^^

[nopointinactingup]

LOL I guess I could also be a godfather, a bullet proof double night kill godfather that is

[drmyshottyizsik]

The pistol fell to the floor empty. No more shots needed to be fired, someone finally had won this twisted game.

"Finally, it took you a little longer than I expected, but it was quite enjoyable for me. So I'll leave you with this to see the results of this fun little experiment."

The stranger picked up the spent pistol, opened the door and walked away, dropping the little card he had checked so often.

Mykonian

scrambled over to the card and read it, then looked at the now lifeless body of

[kunkstar7]

First off, I would like to apologize for the initial confusion on the randomization of the Vigilante Ability. That definitely should have been something I should have had clarified in the original setup rules/mechanic section. Ditto on this with the scum not being allowed to pass it to their partners as well. I was worried about the setup initially, as it had town in a semi-mylo situation in Day 2, but once the initial scum was killed it freed the town up a little, combined with the guilty result on Carapuce resulting in the lynch of the second scum.

On my reasoning for that, here is a quote I left in the Dead Thread when the situation came about:

Well, mykonian got it right, but for the wrong reasons. The ability was assigned randomly, but it was fairly weighted towards town, so the chance of it being scum was small, and town did in fact start with it. Even if scum got it, it would be similar to a 2:1:9 setup, with a SK kill hitting a townie. With town having it though, the game should run balanced, the town needs to focus more on scumhunting, which most players seem to be doing well, I'm pleased with the level of play in the game so far. It had to be selected randomly to prevent the "confirmed" effect mykonian found, but I believe even if scum started with it, the game would be balanced. Sadface at mykonian being displeased with me, but I couldn't let him have his confirmed, that's even less fair that giving scum the extra kill, especially considering that scum has little power.

Jack did notice one thing that I didn't consider, scum will know who they passed the vig to. I don't see it happening, because a lot of the pro-town looking players so far are town, so the vig isn't likely to fall into the wrong hands. I won't be surprised if at least one scum is dealt by the end of N1.

The second mistake that I would like to apologize for is( one that I believe mykonian and nopointinactingup did not see, otherwise I would have probably not switched it up), the changing of the removal of the Vigilante in Day Four. In the Dead Thread RedCoyote brought up the question of who would win if scum and the Vigilante remained, and the answer was the Mafia would win (which I had clarified as a note in the updated Day Four Start). To prevent this situation from occurring I originally removed the Vigilante from play.

But the first post from drmyshottyizsik with the Vote: No Lynch resulted in a confounding dilemma, if the final scum were to hammer then, town would lose without the Vigilante Ability to even get a chance at shooting correctly. So I noticed neither mykonian and nopointinactingup had viewed the game since Day Start, and proceeded to switch it to the way it is presented now to prevent that rare case causing an unfair loss for town, with the added clarification of endgame resolution, and handed mykonian the Vigilante as was dictated by nopointinactingup's Night Three choice.

About play: Oh boy, I am so sorry to town for Jack's fakeclaiming "Best Friend" totally screwing the town out of a D1 scumlynch. Had anyone of the players also been present of Gears of War Mafia along with Jack and myself, I believe they would have seen the gambit, as it was similar to the fakeclaimed mason he did in that game to push a lynch on his scumread of CryMeARiver. Then the N1 actions resulted in danakillsu making an incorrect assumption about the Vigilante Tracking Results.

Overall, I hope you guys had some enjoyment playing, and feel free to yell/scream/criticize for anything you found wrong in the game.

[mykonian]

Damn.

I guess you had it too easy. You bussed your buddy perfectly though.

[nopointinactingup]

LOL. Apparently not what it sounded like in the Dead Topic. At that point, I knew I had to buss Cara so why not make it as aggressive as possible.

[*]

A clarification of Action Resolution:

The passing of the Vigilante ability onto another player occurs last in the series. Therefore, a kill targeted at the owner of the ability on night start will successfully eliminate the ability.

And btw, Kunkstar, you forgot your own rule No need to take the Vig out of the game. I gave the Vig to Myko so I could override his Vig if I go NO LYNCH. I didn't go no lynch just for the fun of it. Myko called me confirmed town, so .. ^^. I also thought Myko could be cop, but then its obvious that there should also be a godfather so his investigation can be effective quarreled with. After that No Lynch post from Shotty, I knew I could take this game for the mafia.

@Shotty: Seriously, READ THE GAME.

The kill would still actually go through, so technically if you No Lynched and he shot you, town would have won.

[danakillsu]

There are only three problems I had with this game. The first was with the mod: why couldn't you just tell me that the vig ability didn't have to be passed during the night? I thought it did have to be. The second was obviously that I got lynched. What was that for, anyway??? The third was that shotty endgamed so horribly. There is nothing worse than voting no lynch in 3-way lylo.

[nopointinactingup]

The second mistake that I would like to apologize for is( one that I believe mykonian and nopointinactingup did not see, otherwise I would have probably not switched it up)

I kinda saw the no bullet left change, but it doesn't change much.

Oh right, it's the kill not the passing Either way, good modding. I don't think there was anything substantially wrong with it despite the game's chaotic mechanics.

[jelly jiggler]

Wow nopoint's last day actions came off as really scummy to me. I'm quite surprised you voted for shotty so fast.

1> I think you are required to obtain that info yourself from the players. The mod will only answer what is given without elaboration.
2,3> Agreed. Shotty, you should cancel some of your games and focus on a few. You obviously have not read anything at all in this game?!

[nopointinactingup]

hindsight bias

[jelly jiggler]

Not really since I have been thinking that since yesterday.

[XScorpion]

Good job nopoint for picking up my spot, well played

Jack and Shotty both definitely shot the town in the foot. After I saw Jack fakeclaim with a best friend on my scumbuddy, there was much lols. Hard to lose after that.

[XScorpion]

Oh and yes, this is a prime example of me scum-lurking to avoid suspicion 8D
