RAAAAAVEEEE PARRRRTTTYY

Hahahaha @switcher mess! Before they were like "hey, we all agree switcher is inherently more anti than protown" and today "oh yeah, I switched last night" - lol

I really like how Coppa and Tim are fighting there way through the game :) The case against coppa is soooo weak "it has to be him bc Kalor was killed", oh yeah no wait "it has to be him bc meta-bs". I'm really saddened that he'll die regardless of his efforts. If he survives the lynch decision, he'll just get turned into goo... In place of Kingkitty I'd kill the ghosts randomly instead of helping town. Where is the point in following orders when you are an invincible serial killer?

Never mind, hope you had fun Splinter :D Great plan by team scum, they will never figure out the 6 switches.

Also why didn't they kill Sorian ages ago? He's the only one who keeps up the activity in AL. Imagine Coppa and Tim were in AL last night, they simply could voted out roy and won, right?

#switcherorgy

Just want to say I think town are playing this very poorly. By now it should be obvious that this mess isn't worth resolving, so ignore results and ask why these actions were made in the first place.

Eg. "Coppa, you claim to have switched [whoever], why would you do that? etc.

Coppa and Tim made their switches for chaos and will have to invent a justification, everyone else should have at least some reasoning. If you can spot the difference between the genuine and invented explanations: congratulations on playing Mafia well.


(OTOH: the solution to this seems to be "let's lynch Coppa anyway". This scum team just can't catch a break.)

No the volcano won't kill him, he wins with scum

I think I'd be pretty suspicious of Sorian+Terra at this point. The contradictions started shortly after Sorian joined the AL, and now he's pulling some slight mental gymnastics to keep Terra up for one more night phase.

Would probably push for Sorian's lynch, and I suspect Sawneeks at least would join that. If not, settle for a TB lynch.

.....does he know that?

1. no u
2. ehh it 'could' have been, but didn't have to be. I did consider running this under various levels of information, from its current form all the way up to an open game. In the end I wanted there to be some mystery and gradual discovery of the mechanics. Now if you said that there was too much of this and it got in the way of actually playing Mafia then I'd agree with that.
3. Intentional. I think everyone expected a bastard game to be filled with crazy roles like the Ghostbuster, but this was very much about mechanics rather than roles. The intention here was for the game to be very bastard and yet still have scum hunting. I think this failed a bit, but would have been worse if everyone was relying on their crazy PRs to "solve" the game.
4. I'll be honest here, most of those "mistakes" where actually me rebalancing things while the game was running. This game wasn't actually complete when we started (unexpected gap in our schedule that I couldn't resist filling), and I completely fucked up the scum roles at the last minute. I've been playing damage-control for pretty much the entire game because of that. (I fully expect to get some hate for this point, oh well.)
4b. That said, this was a crazy time-sink for me especially in that first week. I did want to test short day/night phases but now I STRONGLY STRONGLY recommend against the short night phase. (Short days where actually not so bad? I think?)
5. You mean about Day 1 not being real? Nah, the timing of the reveal went as planned, I don't regret that point at all.

There are probably a bunch of other things to discuss, and in general I ran this game in a way that... I wouldn't approve of, personally. But I'll save all that for the end I guess.

3b. Ghostbuster and Shaman only exist because the game required them

Yeah, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but a regular random night kill in AL would do the job as well.


... because living town actively decided to get rid of Terra and not Coppa? Because THEY wanted to see the flip of the Terra?

Give it to me! I'll let you do rng kills as long as I can harass everyone!

Edit: Honestly, this is the worst about Outer Gafia! Being unable to jump in and throw a line. Never gonna happen here :( No Fun allowed.

Welcome, Coppa!

You and Tim were lot of fun to look at. Tim now has to play the long game, and I can maybe see him make it, if he just plays the cards right.

Hi guys

I had fun splinter! Just wanted to let that out there. All the crazy info and deciding how to give it out was a blast. As frustrating as endgame became, I still had a blast with it. Scum is fun to play.

Eh it's alright. No big deal, it was fun to play and that's what's most important. Glad to see I was playing scum relatively well at first (even if that slipped off later). I really do think the AL component would have worked really well had the cards not fallen the way they did (i.e. no scum there and town gaining KK control), it really was fun and added an extra layer of strategy. Also making the medium not an invincible king might've helped some in that regard.

Still had fun

Also I hope Tim reads in on the AL and realized it's not completely lost. He has a mountain ahead of him but really nobody there is suspicious of him. Also Splinter I wasn't clear on this, but could a tracker see one of the Islander-Scums use Banish or were we worried for nothing? I hope he continues going because if he somehow wins this he can get ScumMVP for life.

Ohh that's a relief then! Awesome.


Also I really do think Town should be killing all the switchers right now. It's clearly fucking with the surviving town wayyy too much since it literally means nothing. Maybe it's just because I knew how futile all of that was, but they really should've analyzed and thought about how there's no proof of any actually useful powers existing (and also realized that if nobody was claiming protect, and there were like 4 switches they knew about, the chances that the kill was blocked were super low). Oh well, hopefully they let the switchers live on for more chaos and confusion! #SwitcherOrgy was the most successful thing about scumteam.
