YEEHAW

lets GO bois

Why
I don't recall much from this game cos it's been a bit since I've paid attention to it but wasn't I voting you before I voted Creature?

[Shaziro]

Fucking called it on Varsoon, he was trying to communicate to the other scum team. Also, we know there was a Domination and a Science mafia, and that Boudica was spreading a religion, so I am fairly sure there is a Religion victory mafia that likely wins when something like half of the living players are their religion or something. If you get religiously converted and are notified, announce it for god's sake...no pun intended.

[Chara]

how many different ways to win are there in Civ 5? i know domination, science, religion, and culture.

[Shaziro]

The only other one is time, when the game hits a set number of turns it ends and the civ with the most points wins.

stop asking me dumb questions and help the town. you think i have the time/shits given to look up your voting record when i hav bigger fish to fry?

smh. any1 who played with gamma a lot have a worthwhile read on him? last time he shitposted and played dumb he was scum but im not sure if his d1 slapfight with dunk was staged

[Chara]

i was trying to think about how many mafias there could be and why domination and science are there in particular, after your idea about religion, and why they would be singled out. but i suppose even domination/science is arbitrary.
ok, i'll stop speccing, it probably isn't helpful. especially considering i don't know this game. i'm not sure if there would be another faction whose win condition is dependent on a mafia ability, especially one where the effect isn't clear.
it's interesting, though. thanks.

pedit: i've been townreading Gamma, have played with him a lot but i don't remember if he was ever scum.

[Shaziro]

My best bet is that there is a Town religion spreader, a Mafia religion spreader who has no win condition involved, and then a Mafia religion spreader who -does- have a win condition for their team involved, or possibly a team of like 2. That would mean that they could spread equally fast to the other two, in fact, and since the other two couldn't coordinate it would be in favor of the two who could. Makes their objective to find and kill the other religion spreaders while still spreading their religion, makes for an interesting mechanic, and is exactly the kind of thing I would expect to see in a Civilization Mafia theme game.

ALSO: Fuck everyone who said I was reaching when I made comparisons to the Prostitute role and the banning silk, not only did the fucking flavor for that ban being enacted mention sex workers, but CREATURE WAS A MAFIA ROLEBLOCKER WHICH IS ALSO CALLED A PROSTITUTE. 10/10 predictions, let's go!

Idk the religion victory condition you described sounds like it would work for a 3p as well.

[Chara]

i think the epicmafia flavour for scum roleblocker is hooker, so yes.

i'm going to keep thinking two scum until there's more evidence for that, but it does seem very fun. three scumteams would be a nightmare, though.
i'm more interested in Elbirn's crumbs, though. i'll ISO him when i'm less lazy but i think that post feels relevant. Venmar's answer too.

i had marshy as leftovers yesterday but i like how he's opened the day. i need to go remember my own reads.

pedit: that too.

[Gamma Emerald]

What I'm curious about is who took Varsoon's word for multiball and who told him he was wrong
also interesting is Klazam is very likely spewed not scum with Varsoon

[marshy]

i wont settle for anything less than being deemed the main course baby

[Chara]

i had Klazam as unlikely scum with Dunker/Creature. i forget interactions with Varsoon.

i also thought it was multiball after his explanation. i'm disappointed that i townread that, but i think he did a good job of it.

pedit: hahaha. consider yourself microwaved.

idk but I'd love to try

[marshy]

I'm liking Kokichi. I don't mind if he were an alternative to Chara as host. Question: How many scum are we assuming is in this game/setup?

Usually 5 is the standard, but could be 4 or 6 depending on powers. It could also be like 13v4v4 if it's multiball, but I don't think Venmar does that to me in my first game under him.

yo

im PRETTY sure this post was before venmars multiball spec. meaning a50 would b the first one to float the idea i thread. i dont like the slot regardless and i think this is a tell of having inside info

Anyway if creature flips scum and I'm not alive tomorrow to bring it up, this is a reminder to all of you that Gamma was real shifty about the creature wagon earlier and you should put the squeeze on him. Actually in general if I'm dead tomorrow I hope you all heed my wisdoms I've said lots of good stuff and I'd hate to be a non participant after death.

Speaking of which Joey is town leave him alone white haired anime lady

so, really unclear if this is Elbirn crumbing he'll target Joey or target Gamma. i'd have personally picked a townread with that role, but the way Elbirn specifically mentions being dead it sounds like he's trying to communicate a guilty. thoughts?
or if he was just nightkilled and town is responsible for one of those scum deaths instead of it being a crosskill.

pedit: yeehaw.

lol honestly Elbirn just basically claimed that he protected me, i might be biased but this looks quite obvious.

He basically said that he softed his night target

Theres no point to keep voting brass, as long as he WC

Also lol @ shaziro for the Dunker read, that was such a lucky guess imo for his 2nd post but well done. I just assumed that the behavior was too stupid to be scummy

[pidgey]

LOOOOL at opening post

If we lose the game we are the worst! I like how we are doing though

[brassherald]

At work so limited posts during lunch. Told you Dunk was scum.
