I did have a frustrating first experience, but I'll keep it up.  There aren't too many good two-player games that we can play in person.. Dominion is okay, but we only have base, seaside, and intrigue, and honestly, I'd almost rather play on Goko than in person, since he has all the cards there.

Do you keep up with every single pack?

Yes, although because of a miscommunication I don't have the most recent one. *sob* I need to check whether it's available anywhere online...doubtful. Even if I don't buy them, though, I love seeing the spoilers and thinking about the new strategies they open/enhance.

Edit: *gasp* it's available for a reasonable price on Amazon!

I don't know if there is a thread for this in the main forums anymore so I'll just brag / share my joy with my friends here:

http://gyazo.com/a00114c3834dfd31a15b1bcd74bdae56 Yay, first time!

Kudos to Robz for telling me that playing people ranked less than 5k makes maintaining a high ranking much much harder.

Congratulations!  Now that Guilds it out, I may actually break down and buy the cards...I find I can't get a game otherwise.

Me too! I had been waiting for guilds to come out so that I can get a discount on a superbundle with everything. We'll see how that pans out...

I would really, really like to, but I already played too much today, and now I must get other things done, sadly.

Woah. What's with the avatars on the leaderboard? Is that something that comes with downloading the VP tracker package?

Congrats, Eevee!

Eevee isn't in this game? No eevee? How didn't I notice this before... What to do without eevee? and why do I have a bunch of thoughts and reads subscribed to eevee for this game? I could have sworn he had a town read on voltaire...
I know right! I was so sure I had signed up..

Seee, I told you I was bad for town, though in my attempts to protect the two of you as my top town reads and all, I may have actually blocked your nightkill and caught you. Oh yea, I was a Jailkeeper again, that was going to be fun to claim...

I think we are at the point where it is mafia's game to win or lose. I mean I think any recent town wins have been due to some big misplays by scum. Though I am not sure this is a new thing. I mean the only game I have lost as scum in the past 7 months was one very recently where I made a huge misplay(wasn't around) I don't think I am actually that amazing of a scum player, I do think it is and always has been advantaged toward scum. Alot of it has to do with participation I think, I remember I used to be soo nervous about falling behind because if I started lurking I would get lynched, now town lurks often enough it is no longer a valid reason to lynch. Which isn't a bad thing, people just don't have the time(including myself) but I think that was a major way to catch scum, they had to post and post alot because at the end of the day(literally) the lurkers were getting offed days one and two with enough post down from scum that wagons could be analyzed and they could be caught in days three, four, and five. Lastly, Power roles do need to come back to favoring town, and I mean just giving town power roles that help. Watcher and Tracker have such a super small chance of even doing anything in a game, and if you happen to see someone who isn't scum it can hurt you. IC in reality gives scum just as much as town a voice to follow and doesn't amount to much of anything, Robz use in the last game was amazing with it and still it equated to nothing but robz being forced to call a few lynches(this is worse than town trying to work toward a lynch together because it eliminates scum having to throw their voice in) We need more cops, cop catches scum or creates an IC each night he is alive and hits his target, on day 3 a reveal should create 3 IC's(depending on who is living) that would just about end the game, but hey all 3 people managed to live and cop was never blocked(oh yea roleblockers for scum should be back too, as well as a rolecop) then I think town deserves to have that advantage. I would say cop and JK work great as they can hurt eachother but they can work real well against a roleblocker/rolecop. Or give town a doc/JK/Rolecop and give scum a roleblocker. That way town has some huge saving potential and has a cop sortof, though getting back a vannilla result wouldn't give the rolecop any clue of alignment so it makes it a tad harder to create IC's and catch mafia. This way there are some huge PR's going on which influence the game and some vannilla's watching and trying to guess who is on their side fighting for them, who has knowledge of their alignment, and whose claim do they trust based on what makes sense for that player to do(see the last mean girls game, in retrospect doesn't my claim seem obviously right in the grand scheme of things vs ash's opportunistic play/bussdriver and yuma's radomly changing watcher role that watched the silly targets)

Interesting take mc.  I do think you may be right about the need for a cop.
In the end of mean girls, really it came down to me misreading Yuma and eevee.
Funny, my worst reads ever....
Have all been Yuma...(and robz to a lesser degree).
It would have been nice to have a hall moniter/cop
But really I mostly need to learn to read
Better

He has. and if you had listened to me in mean girls...

But really, don't sheep anyone, go read everything for yourself!

cop is definitely the best simple role for town. a JK, doc, watcher, tracker, etc. can often go to their grave without having provided any usefulness to town. A cop will usually provide a benefit of some sort, as long as they are not NKed N1.

I tend to think the problem is that people just don't tend to enjoy playing or put in as much effort as Town as they do as scum, and lazy Townies make for easy mislynches. Scum make more of an effort not to do things that we all know will be seen as scummy.
