Mini 2004 - Birth of the Necromancer - [DERP! - MOD LOSES]

[Ankamius]

GJ everyone, so sorry I had to replace out.

I'm actually really sad we never got to engage this game, I think having that strong a town read on your slot earlier would've had an impact on my reads progression.

[Nancy Drew 39]

Perhaps, he can host it again? I see no reason not to.

[Eddie Cane]

we all know the setup lol

[Nancy Drew 39]

That was an awful vote on brass by zombie whoever made it

Yeah, I think had we continued, it would have been town’s game to lose.

[Wisdom]

to win you mean

no way we were losing this

[havingfitz]

Perhaps, he can host it again? I see no reason not to.

[Wisdom]

this setup only works when we dont know everything about it

[Momrangal]

He could remake it, but yeah. I controlled the zombie and i wasnt pissed at anyone. I was trying to keep brass from getting lynched and making distractions that ultimately didnt work

[Ankamius]

See, this is why I say to ignore the zombie.

It's true that having a confirmed scum on a wagon means that it's less town-driven, but the way it's done is also too blatantly obvious that it's the case which means scum are more likely to be doing it to try to derail a wagon... but if scum are trying to derail the wagon, doesn't that make brass most likely scum? But then if brass is scum, aren't there better uses for the vote that are more likely to succeed? So therefore brass is more likely town... etc.

It's an endless loop no matter where you start because you can always find something to 'disprove' whichever assumption you're at in the chain.

I think scum did it primarily to cause WIFOM. Why would scum want to create WIFOM now? That's hard to determine at this point in the game since we don't have enough information to go on for a reasonable analysis, so it's pointless to analyze the zombie vote right now.

The best way town can use the zombie is to dismiss it entirely. Letting the zombie influence wagons and thoughts is letting

scum

determine the game state.

wheeeeeeeeeee

[Katyusha]

^ hard agree w above

[Nancy Drew 39]

to win you mean

no way we were losing this

Yeh, that’s what I meant. Only sheer town stupidity or insanity could have lost us this.

[Srceenplay]

Hey I wonder if they will run this again?

[Tammy]

this looked like a fun game. I was going to replace in but I meta'd brass herald and he was really obviously scum, so I was like erm nope.

[pirate mollie]

And no, I didnt need Katyusha to lynch you. I was letting you wagon me to find your partners and then I had my claim to be safe. then I could cop someone tonight and get killed to send my two results to ank and the game would be PoEd out. It was over.

I am all ears. I can't exactly avoid you if I don't know who you are

just saw this game ended in a hilarious way.

ty for the game beefy <3

good to see you again mara <3 fun playing scum with you kokichi

I didn't read but when I got on the scumboard and saw what he wrote there I was like fuuuuuuuuuck it

[Nancy Drew 39]

I guess an advantage to this site, is you can often know in advance who you’d be replacing. Some sites insist you sub out via pm only.

[AnonymousGhost]

Congrats guys!

And Beef - don't sweat the small stuff. We're human. We make mistakes and we get better!

[havingfitz]

me

This is objectivly false.

Your claim was the only thing keeping you from serious consideration D1 and it would have only saved a day or two before we lynched you so you could "vig" someone. I think the claim backed you into a corner.

Congratulations to the victors!

The game has drawn to a close, the jig is up! Some of you have lost, but others have won!

Take a few days, think about the game. Recognize what was best in your teammates and opponents, and consider nominating them for a Scummy! Players and mods in this game may be eligible for one of the following awards:

BODY OF WORK AWARDS

Best Mafia Catcher

: Also known as the Paragon of Mafia Hunters, this award is given to the single town player who, across all of their games for the year, exhibited the best ability for nailing those dirty scumbags and bringing the bad guys to justice while playing as a pro-town role.

Rising Star

: This award is given to the player that is a rising star in the game of mafia, showing great promise to join the elite echelon of mafia players. This award replaces both the Best Newbie award and Most Improved Player awards, and judges may consider elements of both those previous awards in deciding this award.

Excellent Moderation

: Also known as the “The Modfather” Award. This award is given to the moderator who, over the course of the past year, exemplifies the best qualities of a moderator in the operation of the game, including but not limited to quality and frequency of vote counts, organization of the game, dealing with issues that arise, keeping players active, and so forth. Judges may consider how challenging the games a moderator ran were, but they shall not penalize a moderator for only running more basic games. A mod must run at least 3 games to completion in the calendar year to be considered for this award.

SINGLE GAME - PLAYER

Most Cunning Manipulator

: Also known as the “Don Corleone” Award. Awarded to the player who has the strongest single game performance as mafia. In rare cases, where a player feels an entire scumteam gelled to create a strong cohesive scum performance, multiple members of a team may be nominated.

Best Performance Third Party

: Also known as the “Hannibal Lecter” Award. Awarded to the player or players that performed the most impressively in winning their game as a third party.

Most Memorable Event

: Also known as the “Kodak Moment” Award. Awarded to the player or players who were involved in the most memorable event in a game of mafia. Fake claims, funny claims, awesome exchanges, etc. may all be considered for this award

SINGLE GAME - MODERATOR

Best Setup

: Also known as the “Rube Goldberg” Award. Given to the moderator who designed the best setup. Judges may consider the roles involved in a game, how those roles interacted, how balanced a setup was, whether it furthered any particular theme, how the setup interacts with a mechanic, or any other factors the judges deem relevant. This award is distinct, however, from the “Best Mechanic” award in that it does not consider how good or bad any change to the basic way a Mafia game is played.

Best Flavor Text

: Also known as the “Paperback Writer” Award. Given to the moderator who wrote the most compelling flavor text. Judges should consider the flavor text of all parts of the game, including Role PMs and Day/Night scenes. Where appropriate, Judges may consider how well the flavor works with the announced theme.

Best Mechanic/Mutation

: Also known as the "Mad Scientist” Award. Given to the moderator who figured out the most compelling way to change the basic mechanics of the game of mafia, and/or created the most compelling new role or adaptation to increase player enjoyment. Judges shall consider both the basic idea behind the game as well as how well it was executed, and the uniqueness and quality of the role/adaptation.

SITE AWARDS

Game of the Year

: Also known as the “Player’s Choice” Award. This award is given to the moderator of a game. It is given in recognition of the overall excellence of a game. The Game of the Year award is a "catch all" award for the best overall game throughout the entire year, considering all aspects of the game from moderator quality, to the excellent design and composition of the game, to the performance and cohesion of the playerlist. A Game of the Year is meant to be the game that we can all point to later and say "This game was the best game the site could offer that year in terms of Design, Playerlist, and moderating capability." This is a PUBLIC VOTE. [/color]
