I don't have an opinion on how many scum remain. I have no reason to think it's two or to think it's three. Why are you so sure that it's three or more? And regardless, most of the play in this game is so goddamn awful that most players in it could be easily of either alignment. I only have two townreads, too. Do you think I think that there are five scum? But the worst part is how much time people are spending trying to figure out who my scumbuddies are. All of that will be a waste and set people up for making mistakes based on confirmation bias when I flip town.
In post 3923, penguin_alien wrote:OK then. If this is a mislynch that ends the game, well-played, scum.

VOTE: Paschendale
Far more like really horribly played, town. I wrote that response before you mislynched me, and didn't want to bother erasing it when I saw your vote. I have no doubt that town will lose this game.

I've called out bad wagons on town and opposed them even while you rushed to mislynch. If you'd listened to me at all this game, we could have avoided several of them.

Scum QT: http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/KPZzcgn8kK4f

Scumteam actions:

N1 - SpyreX kills Nachomollie, MoS blocks Desperado, Porkens rolecops Majiffy
N2 - SpyreX kills Majiffy, MoS blocks Garruk, Porkens rolecops Desperado
N3 - Pecan kills SpyreX, MoS blocks Garruk
N4 - SpyreX kills Nachomollie, MoS blocks Formerfish
N5 - SpyreX kills AJ the Epic, MoS blocks Generic
N6 - SpyreX kills Desperado, MoS blocks Formerfish
N7 - SpyreX kills Formerfish, MoS blocks notscience
N8 - SpyreX kills notscience, MoS blocks penguin_alien

- So yea...SpyreX *was* actually blocked from killing Nachomollie N1. Thank you morph for claiming BP and taking the heat off of him. :) Garruk blocking SpyreX N1 actually turned into one of the best things that could happen for our team, because it allowed SpyreX to perform the NK with impunity every night after that (except N3, obviously), since we could read Garruk and figure out if they needed to be blocked or not in the future. After SpyreX got semi-confirmed by counterclaiming Porkens, we could just ignore Garruk and block Formerfish instead, since he wasn't going to block the claimed docs and stop their cross-protects from working.
- The mods allowed us to gambit by killing SpyreX on N3 solely because we were playing to our win condition. Our plan was to either "confirm" SpyreX by having a Formerfish protection occur or to "confirm" T-Bone by having a nightkill show up on a mafia member, thereby making it look like there might be a werewolf team. It would also have the side effect of taking out the other lover for us.
- My song was actually "Street Corner Symphony - Voodoo". I lied about my song just to fake the Starship Troopers PR, and because it made things more interesting if there was a small chance that I got counterclaimed on my song. :P
- I don't know what Porkens or T-Bone were thinking with their claims...the entirety of claimgate went horribly, horribly wrong, definitely not what I'd wanted to see. We really failed to take advantage of our daytalk to plan it out better.
- Mad props to pecan and SpyreX for working with me to get us through that endgame. That took a lot of legwork to pull off, especially after claimgate blew up in our faces.
- I don't understand how I was able to fake a post restriction for half the game and then completely drop it after claiming VT and have NO ONE push me about it. I ended up using it as a change of behavior to make people subconsciously suspect me less because they were no longer being annoyed by my Starship Troopers quotes.
- I'd been planning to claim a PR (probably limited-shot bodyguard that couldn't target if I broke my PR during the previous day), but after my ENTIRE team decided to steal my thunder and claim PRs themselves, I had to go with VT.
- I'm so, so sorry, morph. I really wanted to be on your team this game, and it broke my heart to have to play you like that. I think your indecisiveness as a pair helped out the scum a lot in this game, perhaps.
- Paschendale, don't you dare come in here and try to be all high and mighty. You were as much to blame for this loss as anyone else on the town, because you let yourself get put in a position where your arguments held absolutely no weight. We set that up on purpose, too, so don't go around calling the town idiots just for falling for it.

This was a pretty fun game, but the general town apathy definitely hurt both the game and the town overall...still, I think after claimgate there was a very good chance that we would have lost if our team hadn't played the resulting days perfectly. I had to work my ass off to pull this one out, especially on the last day or two.

I really played that last day bad. I should have fought the lynch more after my gut was going nuts over it.

I don't understand Pasch's reaction though, nor do I really understand any of his play from a town perspective (granted, this is me talking so you'll all probably take it with a grain of salt)

I don't know why you had generic down as a possible mislynch, there seemed like no members of the town all that interested in his blood, but meh.

Generic was a possible mislynch because I knew I could push him into screwing himself over and getting lynched if I needed to. I didn't expect him to rage-quit, though. I fully believe that the arguments I was making were not terribly off the mark, and Generic had to know that either I was scum and getting under his skin on purpose or that I was town and making my arguments from a place of sincerity. It's unfortunate that he chose to leave the game when he did, and that nearly screwed over our plan for the final day.

Hey ffery Roleblocker is my favorite role and I can play it well.

Also proof that people put waaay too much emphasis on the fact lovers exist.

Also

>blocked scum 4 nights out of 5.

Sorry bout the self hammer but I was seriously mad that people were just flat out not looking at the narrative.

welp
- Paschendale, don't you dare come in here and try to be all high and mighty. You were as much to blame for this loss as anyone else on the town, because you let yourself get put in a position where your arguments held absolutely no weight. We set that up on purpose, too, so don't go around calling the town idiots just for falling for it.
I think that this is unfair. pasch looked objectively less scummy than the scum players left in the game, you said you set him up, why are you as scum going "oh hai it was your own fault you got lynched even tho that is how we set it up!". like I don't get this <--- I am just trying to understand

anyways ty for the game
whew!

notscience
, you are
Anna Kendrick - Cups (When I’m Gone)
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Though a popular song in the music world, it was not very popular in the Song Contest, gaining -6 points after a non-voting deduction. Though it is musically very wonderful, one has to wonder whether this song did badly due to it’s association to Pitch Perfect.


Role: Vanilla Townie

Powers: You may use your vote and your voice during the day to lynch a player. You do not do anything during the night.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Please reply to this PM with your role flavor (artist/song), role and alignment to confirm.


DeasVail / Micc / Maenara
Maenara
, you are
The Dresden Dolls - Girl Anachronism
. You are aligned with the
town

One of Drench’s most popular submissions, he failed to vote and grab himself a top 5 placement. However, this remains one of JDodge’s favorite songs.

penguin_alien / Generic
Generic
, you are
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Though hit by a 20 point deficit, “Invaders Must Die” was a fairly popular entry in Song Contest 23, gaining top 10 status sans deduction.


Role: Vanilla Townie

Powers: You may use your vote and your voice during the day to lynch a player. You do not do anything during the night.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

mykonian / M45t1n
M45t1n
, you are
Foo Fighters - Wheels
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Popular songs have always been either hit or miss during the Song Contest. “Wheels” was entered in Song Contest 31 and got some mediocre scores, but although it certainly isn’t a bad song, popular songs have always been the underdogs due to previous exposure and boredom.


Role: Vanilla Townie

Powers: You may use your vote and your voice during the day to lynch a player. You do not do anything during the night.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

evilpacman18
evilpacman18
, you are
evilpacman18 - Kapustin - Impromptu, Op. 66 No. 2 (Allegro Meccanicamente)
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Although there have been quite a few people who have submitted their own work to the Song Contest, historically, they have not done well (in fact, most of them end up in the bottom 5 of the contest, sadly). However, evilpacman’s fantastic piano playing blew away most of the competition, not only getting out of the bottom 5, but becoming 3rd in Song Contest 58!


Role: Vanilla Townie

Powers: You may use your vote and your voice during the day to lynch a player. You do not do anything during the night.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Hiraki / Sajin
Sajin
, you are
Brian Stokes Mitchell - I, Don Quixote
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Submitted in Song Contest 5 by OhGodMyLife, it is a song so deeply embedded into Song Contest history that you’ll rarely find a person who remembers it being submitted. Nonetheless, it became quite a popular choice, gaining 3rd place.


Role: Vanilla Townie

Powers: You may use your vote and your voice during the day to lynch a player. You do not do anything during the night.

Paschendale
Paschendale
, you are
Johnny Cash - Hurt
. You are aligned with the
town
.

A haunting entry submitted by Haschel Cedricson to Song Contest 36, it was outscored by Caravan Palace’s Suzy by a few points, gaining second. However, it is notably the favorite entry in the entirety of the Song Contest history to many long-time submitters, including Matias, AGar and others.


Role: Vanilla Townie

Powers: You may use your vote and your voice during the day to lynch a player. You do not do anything during the night.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

, you are
Squirrel Nut Zippers - Ghost of Stephen Foster
. You are aligned with the
town
.

The winner of Song Contest 16, and Seraphim’s first win, was a testament to the popularity of gritty folk rock. Though Seraphim’s involvement in the Song Contest is past its time, the song will always be an important part of the Song Contest.


Role: Vanilla Townie

Powers: You may use your vote and your voice during the day to lynch a player. You do not do anything during the night.

, you are
Giraffes? Giraffes! - I Am S/H(im)e[r] As You Am S/H(im)e[r] As You Are Me and We Am I and I Are All Our Together: Our Collective Consciousness' Psychogenic Fugue
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Submitted by evilpacman18 in Song Contest 41, this prog rock title with the longest and most obnoxious name ever unexpectedly, but with good reason, ended up getting 4th. While the length and title both are tiring, the musicality of this song is not.


Role: Town Mason

Powers: You may speak to your fellow mason (Desperado) in this quicktopic only during the night: http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/MPzBdN45WMiQ
You know that the other mason is town. You may also use your voice and your vote during the day phase to lynch.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Please reply to this PM with your role flavor (artist/song), role and alignment to confirm.


Desperado
Desperado
, you are
Drake feat. The Weeknd - Crew Love
. You are aligned with the
town
.

The short-term entrant The Mini-Librarian sent in this entry to Song Contest 61, only gaining one point despite some praises from many of the entrants. Whether you are a fan of Drake or not, you can not discount his charisma and sense of style.


Role: Town Mason

Powers: You may speak to your fellow mason (InflatablePie) in this quicktopic only during the night: http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/MPzBdN45WMiQ
You know that the other mason is town. You may also use your voice and your vote during the day phase to lynch.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Please reply to this PM with your role flavor (artist/song), role and alignment to confirm.


Majiffy / Parama
Parama
, you are
fun. - Take Your Time (Coming Home)
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Submitted by pickemgenius in the very first Battle of the Best contest, it was the remnants of a very early and simple time of the Song Contest: a repeat of the winner of Song Contest 3. It was a frequent song on MafiaScum Radio during it’s time as well.


Role: Town Watcher

Powers: Once per night, you may target somebody and, if successful, you will find out if somebody visited them. If someone has, you will learn the visitor’s name. You may also use your vote and your voice during the day.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Please reply to this PM with your role flavor (artist/song), role and alignment to confirm.


Formerfish
Formerfish
, you are
Brand New - You Won’t Know
. You are aligned with the
town
.

One of the first entries submitted by Bella, it was put up against the two highest scoring entries of all time: “Baba Yetu” and “Would You Be Impressed?”. The mere fact that it became 4th in that contest solidifies this song as an underrated gem.


Role: Town Doctor

Powers: Once per night, you may choose to target a player and protect them from any and all nightkills. They will not know that you protected them, and you will not be told if they were the target of any kills or not. You may also use your voice and your vote during the day to lynch.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Please reply to this PM with your role flavor (artist/song), role and alignment to confirm.


Garruk Relentless
Garruk Relentless
, you are
Poe - Haunted
. You are aligned with the
town
.

A rather interesting song submitted by Quilford, it ended up under 8th place, behind Gotye’s Somebody That I Used To Know and Canon Blue’s Indian Summer (Des Moines). However, it’s chorus is extremely chilling and pleasing to the ear, despite it finishing in a middle spot.


Role: Town Roleblocker

Powers: Once per night, you may target someone in an attempt to stop them from performing any action. If successful, you will stop them from performing an action, if they are performing one. You may also use your vote and your voice during the day to lynch.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Please reply to this PM with your role flavor (artist/song), role and alignment to confirm.


Empking / Agent Minnesota
Agent Minnesota
, you are
Chester See & Ryan Higa - Bromance
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Submitted by AGar in Song Contest 51, this comedic song about brotherly love got a mediocre point count, but a somewhat popular following.


Role: Town Lover

Powers: You are lovers with another player (SpyreX). If one of the two of you die (either during the night or the day), the other immediately dies as well. You are NOT informed of your lover’s alignment, and they are NOT informed of yours. You may speak during the night in this quicktopic: http://www.quicktopic.com/50/H/hfi4AnYwcbL
You may also use your voice and your vote during the day to lynch.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Please reply to this PM with your role flavor (artist/song), role and alignment to confirm.


Morph the Cat / PranaDevil
PranaDevil
, you are
Hale & Pace - Well ‘Ard Song
. You are aligned with the
town
.

Submitted by PranaDevil in Song Contest 22, it showed off a staple of his preference of comedy entries, setting a precedent that later defined many of his entries. It is also the only entry that has 0 points without having any points deducted…but that hasn’t stopped him.


Role: Town 1-Shot Bulletproof

Powers: You have a 1-Shot protection from any night or day kill that may happen to you. If multiple kills happen to you at once, you still will die. You may also use your vote and your voice during the day.

Win Condition: You win when all threats to the town are eliminated or nothing can prevent the same, even if you are dead.

Please reply to this PM with your role flavor (artist/song), role and alignment to confirm.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

we had a town read on majiffy and a scumread on pecan we probably should have hit it with more force.

a mollie/majiffy scumread isn't common and we should probably have it hit with more force.
whew!

I think that this is unfair. pasch looked objectively less scummy than the scum players left in the game, you said you set him up, why are you as scum going "oh hai it was your own fault you got lynched even tho that is how we set it up!". like I don't get this <--- I am just trying to understand

anyways ty for the game
There's also the fact that the people who misread a townie are almost always to blame over the person who gets mislynched.

When I say that we set up his lynch, I mean that we took advantage of the way that Pasch's playstyle is completely detrimental to town to get him lynched. His "come at me bro" attitude, combined with incessant whining every time someone accused him of being scum...that's all on him. Pasch went around saying that the town was stupid not for seeing him as town when he's arguing from a standpoint of knowing his own alignment. That kind of self-righteous indignation is not at all helpful to town play, and I capitalized the hell out of it to take the win. If Pasch or Generic had been willing to reevaluate their own behavior and actually act in a manner that could benefit the town, I'd have been stuck treading in deep water and we wouldn't have been able to manipulate the town like we did. They were as much part of the problem as anyone else.

All things considered, I actually think morph played a better town game than anyone else (excepting perhaps the masons) who lived past the claimgate fiasco (which culminated in T-Bone's lynch and Nachomollie's death). I worked my ass off specifically because morph was in the game...if not for morph and the masons, we'd have steamrolled even after dropping two of our own to back-to-back lynches. No one else who was left in the game mattered to us except those 3, really. notsci, myko, Empking, DV, pasch, and Generic were not putting forth the strength of presence or logic to have been a threat to us, Formerfish and Garruk were handled once we survived D2 with SpyreX and his subsequent doc claim, and Generic/Pasch were also easily used to distract the town from actually being able to effectively hunt scum. Essentially, everything I did after Day 4 was for the benefit of a very small group of town players who held all the meaningful power when it came to getting town momentum in the proper direction.

That's categorically untrue. Town players have a duty to act in the town's best interests as much as possible. Getting mislynched for not doing so is as much (if not more) on the shoulders of the person who got lynched as those who voted them.
