So first of all hurray. Thanks to sfs for modding. And I will say at no point was I offended except when ash suggested I might be faking RL emergency. I assure you I am not. I realized on day 2 I had to push Eevee Jim. And realized hey that's what DSell wanted. Sheep sheep.

Additionally this is the first game I played as scum where I did ZERO Husain jus so that if I became obvscum my meta wouldn't give away my teammates

Insom, I specifically said we should assume you are not faking, and ruled you out of lynch discussions, focusing on the other four.

Sorry if you thought otherwise.

I would like to try scum choosing the IC's actually.
That actually has potential, unless I've missed something.  And I'm happy to go back to the ICs.

Ashersky - reminding you that you had a twist (or tweak)* to the IC setup.  Wanna post it?

This game was a blast. A stressful, heart-pounding blast, but a blast. Thanks, SFS! If I can, I'll totally sign up for the next one.

The masons was one tweak.  The other idea we kicked around was letting the ICs tell the mod when they wanted to be announced, instead of automatically at game start.

Well, I'll give you fair warning:  The signup process will be EXACTLY the same.

I like that also.  In fact, I like that better than letting the players elect, and better than letting mafia elect.

Requires the mod being online though, which is sort of undesirable although not overly impossible to work with.

Not necessarily I think. If the mod promises to confirm someone, then I don't see there being any fakeclaims, because a fakeclaim can't even draw out a real claim because you'd just wait for mod confirmation. I guess just assume any claims are real but don't lynch until you get confirmation.

Or the "IC" PM could include some sort of codeword that only the ICs know. That way the ICs can back each other up once one of them has claimed.

I think you mean Archetype, and yes, I do.

Instead of 2 ICs, you have 2 'Best Friends' (The "standard" term for players who know each other to be Town but are unable to speak to each other privately). It's a variation of a Mason. The 2 Best Friends are confirmed Town to one another. They can both claim D1, and the game would be the same as if they were ICs, or they could wait.

Maybe it's not needed, I mean, scum won this game. But I still feel that Masons are too good in this setup. I think the reason they lost is because ashersky and Desterio didn't use their daychat too effectively.

approximate post counts again:

Once again scum is on the low end (63, 88, 53) when you disregard the ICs.

ash, I'd like to hear your thoughts on my game. You said a number of times, "I know how Jim plays and this is more like Town Jim." You turned out to be wrong, but I'd still like to know what you were basing that on.

I have watched literally every game you've played.  That includes your QTs.  I think (thought) I read you pretty well.  Your first game as scum you were different.  I think having the chance to be scum again right away helped you adjust.  You do we'll at conveying honesty through tone, which I picked up on.

Dsell found you scummy, others POEed to you.  I just felt surer of my ability to read you.  Good job there.

My general scum plan has been "Well when I'm Town I'm really really unsure, so I'll try to do that now." I also think I should learn to be bolder when I'm Town, and I guess I should wait until I'm Town again to do that (there's some WIFOM for you).

What about this for the next game? The first day has a 48-hour deadline, and after 24 hours two ICs are revealed as selected by scum.

FAQ: If a lynch occurs in the first 24 hours, scum cannot choose the dead Townie as an IC. If scum fail to choose ICs, they are randomly selected.

These Blitz games just haven't gone my way. Lost both of them, and they're my only two losses as far as normal games go.
