Cyclic Experimentation Set x01 - [Game Over]

[LimMePls]

We would have won this game days ago if I hadn't been blocked. But I'm not bitter at all...

GG town, and FANTASTIC JOB MOD!

[popsofctown]

it was just a brain fart. I self corrected in a double post iirc, ckd didn't. There's orders of magnitude of difference there.

[curiouskarmadog]

good job town...scum really feel apart, but even with that, you guys did well.

[Furcolow]

Yeah, thanks for stepping in and allowing me to reach endgame, Vi.
I was wrong on CKD/TMH, sorry for that, but at least I was right on my numbers analysis, and on SC at the end

Once we lynched DGB, I was very surprised to see the position we were actually in.
I also felt that WC was playing as underwhelmed town, and sticking to that got us a win.
I would definitely play again.

I really enjoyed this game, as I noted in the Dead QT. As much help as IAI, pops, and MoI were in securing a victory, DGB, that vixen, really cannot be overlooked here. I'd love to see this game unfold in an alternate universe where Lateralus, that bum, never flaked. I feel like the scumteam had Lateralus in our collective pocket.

gg all!

Side Note, Congrats MoI on the Scummy. When I saw you on that list, I knew my chances were slim!

Why is LMP town? There's so much blood on his hands, and looking back at D2 the "three people you think are scummy please darla answer my question answer my question answer my question" is such fake scumhunting.

How exactly was that fake scumhunting? I wanted her dead, and I wanted solid relational information for what I thought was a coming scum flip.

@MOD: What do you think of the idea of multiple scum teams to help fix the swinginess? If a scum flip doesn't clear who he passed to (because that person could be scum from another team) it goes a VERY long way towards toning down the information gained from the power passing, while still making it relevant information (Player A can't be scum WITH Player B).

It is a interesting idea, one that I will be considering for a second iteration of the setup. The only thing is it limits the game design to automatically having two scumfactions. But as an alternative I prefer it to the concept of unknown scumpartners.

I've nominated the game for best new mechanic. I think this should get 2nd/3rd/Nth.

[diddin]

Furcolow dude you've played so much better in this game than your reputation suggests. You're getting a lot better.

Same to IAI. In Growing Pains you were the same smart, analytical obvious townie you were here, but you weren't very aggressive. I'd like to think I taught you how to be aggressive even though I made a dunce out of myself in that game;)

[popsofctown]

giving someone chances to trap themselves isn't the same as scumhunting. Obviously that read was wrong though.

[MagnaofIllusion]

Thanks for the congratulations guys!

I Nthed the Best New Mechanic Nomination and threw in a Smooth Operator nom for Kunkstar (aka The Eruci). The way he handled this game was an excellent display of Mod greatness.

[Parama]

I was under the impression that The Eruci was two mods using the same account... don't remember who the second one was though x_x
I should probably nth those nominations, but I'm too lazy. *shrug*

[The Eruci]

For those of you interested in looking at the actions / Cyclings, I kept it all together in a Master spreadsheet, so you can take a look at that here:

Note that the end days might be a bit messy because it was easier to keep things straight with less people.
And thanks to all the people who nominated this game/mechanic, I am extremely glad that I accomplished my goal of making this enjoyable for everyone!

I forgot that I said I would tell people why I chose to send to Saint. I had two reasons: A) I did not want to send to obvtown players that had a chance of being nightkilled, so on N2 and after, that ruled out iam and implosion and B) I wanted to create as many connections as I could, so I sent to different players every night from the very start of the game. If someone thought I was scummy, this action of trying to create as many connections as I could would have been seen as obviously pro-town. If I was scum and had done that, one flip would have ended the game. No scum in their right mind would ever take that risk. Whereas town has a large incentive to do this. It might have been better to tell this strategy to everyone now that I think about it, but while the game was ongoing, my main thought was that because scum knew who i had sent to on previous nights, they could easily narrow down the list of who I would send to this night.

I did something similar with passing Monitor to LMP. As a

persona non grata

, I deliberately passed abilities to (evident) scum, so as to maximize the possibility I could be cleared by someone else's flip. The fact that the Town was holding people responsible for who they passed to helped this a lot, in case I actually DID pass something useful to scum.

So naturally it was the pass I didn't have anything to do with that wound up clearing Saint, but... well, I already said this was a hideous game for me.
