Mini Theme 2145: The Weakest Link Game over

[Dunnstral]

For those confused why the game ended there (nothing was explained):

-Midway was dying
-I was the next chain leader and would have passed to Ndmath then Unwnd
-The quiz was failing, and the power was a 1-shot vig for mafia

Resulting in an unwinnable situation for town, even if they had tried to hold onto the chain.

[midwaybear]

wait so Dunn and ND WERE scum

oof I suspected there was a fakeclaim
the best friends was smart ig

[Nahdia]

Enjoyable watch.

Have some thoughts on the setup. Overall I think scum earned this win by relative dayplay, but I think the lynch mechanic ended up favoring scum a bit more than we accounted for. So more scumsided than I would have hoped.

Also should have anticipated the autowin and found some way to potentially account for it, maybe.

[midwaybear]

yeah, I was pretty dumb this game
unwnd did a nice job IMO

[MariaR]

Thanks so much for playing everyone! I know things got a bit much at times but I hope you had fun! Also thank you to my amazing reviewer and co-mod Nahdia who did a lot of work behind the scenes.

[midwaybear]

Thanks it was fun!

[beeboy]

Growing apathetic last phase was basically game throwing on my part. I should have pushed harder to save spring and get unwnd ded. But being wrong on Titus really fucked up my motivation. My bad I didn't consider how unwinnable lylo was.

I doubted the masons but I probably wasn't pushing them until I caught the 3rd scum which means they did their job.

[midwaybear]

what does a spy/quiz swapper do

[MariaR]

what does a spy/quiz swapper do

Spy can view the quiz pt even if they weren't in it. Quiz swapper can swap 2 people on the quiz during the day (one of them having to be themselves)

[Dunnstral]

Unwnd= Spy
Dunnstral= Goon
NDmath=Quiz swapper

Unwnd had a 1-shot ability to spy into a quiz we weren't a part of (never used this)
I started as a goon but became the mafia joat (rolecop, rolestop, fruit vendor) - Questionably I used the rolecop on TSE
Ndmath had the 2-shot ability to swap himself and one other person onto or out of the quiz. It would have been strong if he was getting lynched if our claim fell apart, he could cause the quiz to fail by putting himself onto it. He could even do it twice if I got lynched before him. (never used this either)

[midwaybear]

I'm glad I caught Dunn, but sad that I believed the claim so much.
It was smart because noone would have thought scum would do it, and since lylo was tomorrow, they could coast.
pedit: thanks

[midwaybear]

oops so scum could tamper

[midwaybear]

I'll 1v1 Dunnstral because I am convinced he has to be scum.

[SirCakez]

My reads were really bad I fuckin sacrificed myself to save scum unwnd UGHHHHHH

[SirCakez]

I'm glad I'm going on a hiatus for the next month cuz my play has been so bad lately

[midwaybear]

i wanted cakez alive over unwnd EoD1 for some reason. I didn't even think unwnd was scum

[beeboy]

My reads were really bad I fuckin sacrificed myself to save scum unwnd UGHHHHHH

Ngl I regretted that near instantly >___>
I got distracted pushing Titus in particular who couldn't be scum with unwnd then I gave up after that flip instead of adjusting and moving forward.

Also I didn't push Math nearly as hard as I was supposed to.

I think my reads this game were ok, but my execution was the most god awful thing ever. Killing my bad reads and letting my good reads live the way mafia was intended to be played.

[Nahdia]

well, as soon as they flipped town you started townreading them (:

[beeboy]

well, as soon as they flipped town you started townreading them (:

That quote is specifically talking about Cakez which only makes it better.

[midwaybear]

town was all the loud posters and scum were the quiet ones

[Starbuck]

Man, I hate that I was wrong on ND. Gah.

Also, I'm disappointed in the all the hang ups on me and not looking at the bigger picture. All that tunneling cost y'all even when spring said that she felt I was town.

I was reading her posts and taking them heavily into consideration on the last day. I just didn't want to interact because the toxicity was too much and that was killing game enjoyability for me.

[Pink Ball]

Oh ok I'm not that mad now. Same as mid, happy that I scumread correctly Dunn, very stupid for believing the claim so much but there was a LOT of info lacking that the claim legit, it didn't look like LyLo.

midway you pushed a scumslip that wasn't a scumslip but you were fucking right lol good job!!

[farside22]

Wow that was some bad reads by everyone. I think Dunn was the only one that pinged me that entire game. I didn't think about the mason claim at all being fake, which in hindsite I probably should have thought about all the claims but got tunneled.
Glad I was right about SB, PB, BB and titus in the end.
