Micro 643: Desperation Day (Game Over)

[Mas y Menos]

McMenno's probably trolling anyway and fire is letting him.

This has been fire the whole time.

Mcmenno hasn't posted yet lol.

@Blackstar: I always thought you chose it from the Soul Eater character.

Here it is:
1: What is your preferred faction?
2: What would you say you bring to the game that others don't?
3: Tell me a bit about your username, signature, and/or avatar.
My answers:
1: I would have to say town because the game feels more relaxed.
2: I bring a sense of humor I would say is nigh unrivaled.
3: My username is an old idea of a Pokemon Emerald remake. My signature is a quote from a webcomic, and I find the quote works really well here.

And about those wagons, I have seen votes meant to bait reactions on EpicMafia plenty of times. It's not only about successful wagons.

These are pretty useless questions (and most RQS questions are). 2 may be ok. More useful questions would be about overall mafia experience and who we've played with before.

1.)No preference really. Like being scum for fun, but I also like Town for the challenge of catching scum and feel like my Town game is stronger than my scum game as evidenced by my win rate for each faction.

2.)Mashed potatoes and gravy. No, but seriously I will actually work with people who I have confidence in. You don't see always see people willing to work together.

3.)Old interest and anime series I like. Been using this name on other sites since 2009.

1. I haven't really played enough games since coming back to the site in April (after being away 8 years) to really answer this question reasonably. I've been playing in one game at a time, and in all the games I've been in that are complete, I was town.
2. I have a tendency to go back and re-read the thread and ask questions about things that only seem out of the ordinary in hindsight. I feel like that's something I've done more than others in the games that I've played, whereas a lot of people mostly focus on re-reading as a way of documenting who is scum and who is not.
3. my username is a word that shows up in many text adventures. my avatar is art of the character Kay Faraday from the

Ace Attorney

series drawn by a friend of mine. my signature is a link to my GTKAS thread, which you should go to and make posts in.

And this is why you should go by Mas. I thought you were kidding about the name fight with mcmenno or that it happened before the game.

Honestly it wa a continuation of a joke in site chat that mcmenno called me Menos when I posted there so I lol decided to call me menos in this game.

I like confusing people sometimes on who is posting.

I guess I'll add those.
4: What is your experience with Mafia?
5: Who here have you played with before?
My answers
4: One near complete off site forum game, one ongoing game here, many EM games, and many IRL games.
5: No one.

[Gamma Emerald]

Also, can hydras chat about the game between the two heads?

[Alchemist21]

4.) All the games listed on my wiki page, plus numerous games offsite.

5.) Just the firebringer head of the mas y menos hydra.

Also yes, hydra head can always talk together.

[Alchemist21]

I'm thinking Gamma is Town too. I think he is also the type who is willing to work with people.

[BlackStar]

We're not No Lynching Days 1 and 2. The reason scum lynches on D1 are uncommon are because of the higher ratio of Town:scum. Even if we're wrong the lynches thin out the suspect pool and give us info to work with.

Plus I joined this game to play mafia, not to not play it.

McMenno's probably trolling anyway and fire is letting him.

VOTE: Comparing Realities

I think rb gives off the serious try-hard posts of a semi-experienced Town player, so they're my first Town read.

P.S. Why are so many people switching over to Death Note avatars these days? Did everyone just binge the series at the same back-to-school time or something?

I started out with a death note avatar and then circled back around to it lol

Thoughts on Mas y Menos:

It's true that No Lynching is suboptimal. The mathematics proves this. Scum will probably kill the Towniest Townie, who will most likely not get lynched anyway. If we mislynch twice (probably on people who would otherwise be viable mislynches Day 3) we narrow it down to 2 scum and 3 Town. If we hit even one scum, we have better chances. Plus, it is better to narrow the lynch pool in preparation for Day 3 so the remaining Townies are Townier than the two lynches. Thus, from a scum hunting viewpoint as well as a mathematical viewpoint, No Lynch is bad.

Mathematics in itself does not guarantee any one game (unless you are playing Micro 641) but it can tell what is optimal for games in aggregate. Here, the optimal play is lynching.

1: Scum. I tend to play better as scum than as Town in general (for example Micro 618, Open 642, Mini Theme 1810).
2: I tend to be more logical than most players.
3: Many years ago, I played Bloons Tower Defense 5 and came up with a list of ideas for Bloons Tower Defense 6. I used this username on Ninja Kiwi forums and have been using it since.

[BlackStar]

I don't think Mas y Menos are scum. Their no lynch idea was a flawed theory and it brought a huge amount of attention to them right off the bat. Bringing attention to yourself is suboptimal scum play so I don't see why they'd want to bring themselves into the limelight

[Alchemist21]

Hmm... He's done this before as scum in Space Dandy II, but in the scumchat there he said he really thought it was the most pro-town move. It's hard for me to get a read on fire based on that alone.

[Gamma Emerald]

Don't really know what to think, didn't think it was worth a vote imo.

[Mas y Menos]

these questions are mostly inane and pointless but I'll answer them for the thought exercise

1. I do like playing as third party a lot, especially jester
2. aren't we all
3. my username comes from my minecraft username, minecraftermenno (thought up when I was the ripe age of 10), I shortened it to mcmenno and it has been my internet nomer ever since. my signature is some choice quotes about me. my avatar is a grass block from minecraft

I guess I'll add those.

eh, we've played together technically

~the REAL Menos

[xyzzy]

it's definitely possible that Mas y Menos isn't scum (I mean, statistically, it's likely), but they're proposing harmful actions by the town, and they've yet to back down from that, and that's worth putting pressure on.

5: Blackstar and McMenno (Also Comparing Realities, but the game was over before he could post).

[xyzzy]

oh hey here's these

4. I played a bunch of games 8 years ago, but I left the site for a long time and only came back in April of this year; since then I've played in one game at a time.
5. Firebringer's alt replaced into a game I was in. I have also played with BlackStar. I'm pretty sure there aren't any others, although I might be forgetting.

In response to 2: dank

[keyenpeydee]

thnx 4 the help <3

If I was mafia, I would kill you night 1.

~Mas Y

You're saying this cauz' you will kill someone but xyzzy and after that, you'll kill her next night. Still I would love to vote for you.

1. Mafia because I'm almost always town
2. Lulzy gifs and a little bit of chaos
3. Blackstar is the title of a novel I was working on. I always choose avatars that look creepy lol. Right now I have a Ryuk gif as my avatar

Answering RQS:
1. Town because I tend to concentrate in the game.
2. I'm more like investigating the person being wagoned and if he turns scum for me, I'll vote for that person.
3. KNPD expanded. Siggy is what you should call me. Avatar is the coolest pic I saw.
4. I played more mafia games off site.
5. Firebringer in this account and rb on my alt account.

And I'm suspecting rb, He's not like this on the game we're playing. I shouldn't talk about an ongoing game but I'm sure there's something on rb.

[keyenpeydee]

Oh that quote wasn't meant on that post.

Anyways, @blackstar, I know a novel titled Black Star on wattpad. Is that you?
