MTG Salvation

Eh, after Wessel, my PR-hunting radar was broken for some reason. I guess that's explainable by the fact that there were only 2!

Hilariously, had we actually killed a PR, it would have meant my death.

For the curious, I voted myself cause I was tired of this game, and wanted to see what would happen.

It did actually occur to me that Iso might be scum, I realized that PG, Tom and I all mentioned our characters name and role (and a bit of flavor), when we claimed, Iso kinda-sorta-not-really mentioned he was bulletproof..and that's it, I was more convinced Tom was scum than Iso..I also imagine doing so after you spent several posts saying Tom was scum probably isn't the best idea, although I figured I was the days lynch no matter what I did.

Nonetheless, I had fun (kind of ) and learned more about what not to do during a mafia game so, all is well.

Also, this game lasted almost 4 months O.O and progressed a grand total of 3 days, dunno if that is notable or not, but yeah.

Funny enough, proph, that question about your asking about no-lynching made you my #1 suspect. I mostly wanted to see if you were a total noob or a scum as that is one of the oldest tells in the book.

Turns out I was right on that atleast.

Entertainingly enough, I started to catch up in this game, then my son's birthday stuff, which lasted pretty much all weekend hence my negligible commentary besides keeping up with CURRENT stuff. And to be honest, this game was boring as hell even trying to catch up on. Jesus

I figured I could get away with it or get someone mislynched in the process. :3

Plus if Rhand ever flipped, it would look good for me.

I'm surprised no one noticed I went from breadcrumbing a protective role to changing my style completely when I decided I was BP. Like, why wouldn't I just flat-out CC LMD if I thought he was scum?

Wessel: have you considered playing less agressive?
You were so dangerous in the thread that we had to nk you, costing the town their cop.

I wanted Wessel dead because he was gonna be the townie to win the game, as well as the Cop and I knew he was on to me. :3

You mean you knew he was cop?

My PR senses were tingling.

Quote from Prophylaxis

One question: I remember a couple of players went after me D2 for something. Why did you guys stop?

So many people were scummy in addition to you 3 I was so confused and had no idea who to go for. Such as IB, Eron, LMD. I was kinda flailing around this game and whenever I found a direction I was comfortable with I'd find another one.

I still don't get it. Did we only have 2 PRs?

Apparently yes.

Did the Mafia have any power roles?

Wessel: who did you cop?

FO: we had a jailer.

Wait, what???? What is a Mafia Jailer? How is that not just a Roleblocker with no Vig in the game?

It meant we have to choose between Roleblocking and killing a PR. Plus in a setup with just a Cop and a Bodyguard, of course Jailer is a town role.

Plus that way we could create WIFOM - why yes I am protecting the Cop! Too bad they can't investigate!

The two power roles were Levine's idea and I saw nothing wrong with that. Just because it's common practice doesn't mean Basics must have three town PRs.

The jailer replaced a godfather. I told Levine it was a little more interesting in this setup to have a jailer instead of a roleblocker, but I can't remember why I thought that. I most likely brain farted on this one.

I liked the jailer because it doesn't allow the RB & kill on the same target and it also implies a vig (there wasn't one!)

Finale soon.

Only two power roles is fine. I just saw no other way to try and convince a bunch of people that lynching LMD was a bad idea without a little modgaming and convincing people to mass claim.

I greatly dislike this reasoning for the jailer. In fact red herrings are considered bastard Modding and frowned upon by most even at higher complexity games.

Also while two power roles are fine in a vacuum, the fact that the scum has a role that's not as associated with the mafia as rolecoper, roleblocker would make a jailer claim almost unlynchable. I can't envision a scenario which the town can win on this setup really.

How about behavioral analysis?

I really really would like to see a real ending to this

As would I.

But I'll settle for another perfect mafia win.
