Not Voting {2}: manda2014, shark_bait

With 5 alive, it takes 3 to lynch

Manda2014 has been lynched! Flavor and Alignment to come when Voltgloss returns. Night Actions are due to him in 48 hours!

THREAD LOCKED!

[Voltgloss]

Sorry was unexpectedly out of pocket all Sunday. Results shortly.   Thanks Galz.

[Voltgloss]

Young Nick, pingpongsam, and Eevee stood with arms folded, watching their impromptu bonfire blaze merrily into the night, consuming a sumptuous banquet of roast hay - and manda2014 along with it.

"You guys think we finally hit scum?" asked pingpongsam.

"We'll see soon enough." replied Young Nick.

After the fire died down, they gingerly picked through the charred remains.  It was Eevee who found the blackened but still intact metal badge.  "Guys!  Guys!  Look!" as he frantically rubbed away the soot.  "There's writing here!  A Mafia sigil?  I can just make it out... 'T O W N V A N I LOOF"

When the blackness cleared, Eevee sat up moaning in the Hamlet's jail cell, rubbing at the lump on his head.  shark_bait sat across the way, staring glumly at him.  When Eevee's eyes cleared and gazed questioningly at his companion, sharky pointed to a letter wrapped around a steel file in the center of the cell:

"Dearest Companions,

It is with no small regret we take our leave of your humble Farming Village.  Having eliminated any substantial resistance, it is now only a matter of time before our Mafia brethren arrive to make this land their own.  But never let it be said we aren't sporting chaps; we have left you the means to escape your cell.  Perhaps soon enough to escape the soon-approaching lynch?  Perhaps not.

We did not, however, leave you any food.  We are curious to see who wins when a shark and a rodent are trapped in tight quarters with no source of sustenance but each other.  To Eevee, we offer these parting words of wisdom:  Evolve or Die.

It has been a pleasure playing with you.

Best regards,

pingpongsam, Mafia Rolecop
Young Nick, Mafia Goon
International Brotherhood of Mafiosi
Local No. 286"

The Game Is Over.  Mafia Wins!

(For those curious, both Eevee and shark_bait were also Town Vanilla.  The only power role was Jailkeeper Robz.)

Oh, so Eevee blew it. Well played, PPS and YN.

All of us in the QT thought Eevee was obvscum, me most of all.

[Captain_Frisk]

Very well played guys.  The spectator QT is a riot to read.

Thanks for playing all.  This was great fun, and quite a learning experience - maybe more for the veterans than the newbies? 

I hope you all will consider joining the next Mafia game I moderate.  Watch the queue/sign-up topics for details!

Till next time!

[Eevee]

Volt, good modding, thanks for the fun!

So so sorry town, although everything else went against us too. 

BOOO @ Nick and PPS, mean slowroll!

oh and i'm officially the nut worst mafia player in f.ds now. ughhh.

[Robz888]

Reading the mafia QT, it's nice to know I was doomed from the start.

I'm going to blame Timchen and Eevee for this one. Eevee is WAY too eager to lynch people. And Timchen, you just don't go around saying somebody is definitely scum unless they are definitely scum.

[theory]

Did anyone suspect YN at all?  The QT felt like it had settled on PPS/Eevee.

[Robz888]

I suspected YN more than Manda or Sharky, but no, I wouldn't say I had him figured out at all. Well played. They got a bit lucky, obviously, but their strategy was smart. No big mistakes.

The TOWN on the other hand. Oh boy. Well Manda and Sharky's relative silence didn't help. In fact, they were so quiet that the totally wrong about everytihng people--Timchen ad Eevee--got a disproportionate voice.

[pingpongsam]

Guys, I felt like I was walking on the edge of a cliff the whole game. I was playing very forward which was uncomfortable for me. I kept focusing on maintaining consistency. Even though I was scum playing scum plays I maintained a hard line on my play so there was no chink to be found. Young_Nick was a fantastic partner because he played the distance game well, even too well for my liking in the final day. I was like, get on the manda wagon, already!

timchen, while ultimately the demise of town for his outrageous play making enough distraction and confusion to work in, was really onto us hard from the get go. His gut kept telling him I was Town but his logic kept making YN/PPS pairs that made my skin crawl every time he posted them.

It wasn't until the last day that I realized Town had no additional PR. A cop would have totally changed things and probably for the worse (from a scum perspective). Our rolecop abilities proved pretty much useless considering we popped the only PR in N1.

Eevee, I have to say I actually felt remorse for gaming you so hard but you were the man we needed for the last 2 days. Everyone else I gamed with sheer glee.

As for the lack of celebration, well, first off I'm not celebrating until the mod calls it a win, otherwise I may well blow a win because of some confusion somewhere. Secondly, it was with sick satisfaction to screw with everyone's heads until the mod declared the game over.

[pingpongsam]

Oh, yeah, playing as Mafia is far more fun than playing as Town, imho. The toughest part is committing to reading all the posts and trying to build cases out of what I know to be nothing. What is very important for Town play is just grinding work for scum play. I had to force myself to read and reference the past dialogue to look like I cared and to make some Town connection.

Being in the know and watching people make misguided arguments that help your cause is just so damn satisfying. Many times I cackled with evil glee and walked around with a grin on my face people had to ask me about. This hardly ever happened when I played as Town.

[Young Nick]

I think that pps and I had such different playstyles, it was so fun to watch in action. It reminded me of the stoner thread by alin_wing that should now get switched to RSP.

In that thread, pps says something along the lines of, "It's something that I would have done years ago when I was younger, but am too mature for now."

I say something like, "Yeah, I play Dominion while high on occasion."

From those posts, it would look like he is the experienced veteran and I am the young'n. However, our playstyles made me look more reserved and had him looking like the cocky, gun's blazing, posting everywhere type, a la ^_^_^.  I thought the contrast between threads was too funny.

Also, I think that except for one (maybe two), "And obviously I know I am town," I went through the whole game without telling a single lie. All of the IRL issues were legit.

Lastly, I would love to know what people thought of my crazy idea for n2/d3.

[Captain_Frisk]

My favorite part of the game was the continued trolling after you knew that you had won.

[Robz888]

This is a good demonstration of how, absent powers, it is much harder to play town than to play mafia.

[Eevee]

reading through the quicktopics was.. very humiliating. oh well, thank you PPS for taking me to school.. hopefully i learned something.

[Captain_Frisk]

Don't feel bad.  While it was you at the end - we were all convinced that one of (Galzria + Timchen + You) were scum.

Galz was so curious he didn't even come to the spectator QT - he needed to know ASAP.

[Eevee]

robz, it was very frustrating to have the game not progress because everybody lurked, which surely made me impatient. but you are right i'm probably always too eager to lynch anyways.

@frisk

did you notice how i listed the mafia as the two most towny players at the start of our final day, and then helped them to win the game by voting for town?

I did try my hardest to save you day1 at least, much good was that for too..

[Insomniac]

On day 2 I supsected Galz, and sent my reasons to Volt.

I don't necessarily want the QT for M7 but I want this noted.

Galz, you hasn't answered my questions completely. Among the players on the wagon, who do you suspect the most?

Probably you, but I don't think that's relevant considering my belief that inn terms of simple odds we are more likely to find scum off the wagon - coupled with the fact that I find two people more suspicious than you.

M2 Galz analyzed off wagon knowing full well all mafia was on the wagon. TOWN galz analyzes ON the wagon. MAFIA galz analyzes off the wagon. Coupled with the fact that Galz didnt claim a PR (probably because fakeclaims have traditionally not worked well on f.DS) and I think you have a galz that has adopted to the meta after a large number of games of mafia.

Anyways yea, Galz is my #1 Suspect for mafia

[Robz888]

Eevee, I actually think Timchen did the most damage. You just can't say you're sure about someone unless you're really sure. You can't do the "if I'm wrong, kill me" craziness unless you really, really know.

Look at me in the second last round of BMMMI. I had no power role information to go off of, but I really, really, really thought Volt was scum. Like, I was really sure. Super sure. Stake-my-reputation-on-it sure. And I said in the thread that I really, really thought it. But I made sure to note that I didn't know it for certain, it just seemed by far the most likely thing. You have to keep that nuance, if you're town.

[Young Nick]

Robz888, who did you Jail in n1? Why?

[Voltgloss]

Robz888, who did you Jail in n1? Why?

Here was Robz's night action PM:

I am traveling this week, so I want to get this in ASAP. I will jail Eevee, hoping he is either scum or if not, scum target.

[pingpongsam]

Yeah, timchen threw the game for sure. I thought the guy was the Town Cop for a good minute. After some time I came to realize he was the Mafia asset of the year.


Mafia N1 Investigated Galzria, N2 Investigated manda.

[Robz888]

Oh yeah, Eevee. I didn't really consider someone else. Wouldn't have jailed YN or PPS, no.
