Transformers Mafia - Dinobots STRONGEST!

[Vecna]

bold gamble. guess itll come down to whether goey has 1shot bp or not then.

VOTE: neither

[Papa Zito]

VOTE: Neither

[Vecna]

or is goey some op dinobot after all

[Papa Zito]

[Papa Zito]

Ain't nobody got time for awkward multiball lylos.

[Vecna]

we did actually shoot at goey and he survived though. kinda worked out for you guys if he only had 1 shot bp.

insta duelling goey wouldve been more optimal, but i guess he did shoot rather quickly

[SpyreX]

And so it was that we came to this. An end fitting the bloodshed I desired, but it was too late. Far, far too late. The rebels showed the weakness we had, all the way up through the last to fall that day. Our 'courageous' leader.

So, I sit in this cell waiting for my chance. Glorious vengeance.

I'll put in threads with the ok from the teams.

Mod Thoughts:

Well, it sure didn't go exactly how I expected. It ended up close, but the town really didn't get a lot of juice. The D2 not instant punishment for speedduel was surprising. Fundamental Theorem had the right idea in getting himself powered up and I expected dramonic to push for the same. Two days of power, plus bookies, plus cancelling bad duels would have REALLY shifted things.

I was surprised at the tone of dissatisfaction I saw from a lot of people. I understand that not getting your wagons shifts the thought process, but the abandonment of hope seemed very odd.

I did like the never-let up madness even though you guys dialed it up to 11.

There were a lot of standout momements that made me laugh, but the real standout (from someone who apparently is fairly new) for me was Skygazer. A+ would mod for again.

I'm really, really not sure how Vax and I got our wires crossed on his ability and I apologize for any confusion I created there.

Mod Mistakes:

So, there were a couple and I feel baaad for them.
1.) Katsuki should have (in my mind) ended up in the masonry as DGB was the first death. That may have really changed things a lot.
2.) Gamma I'm so sorry - my original intent was for you to be untargettable (I KNOW WTF SPYREX) but the way I worded it and read Grimlocks ability I couldn't see another way to do it.
3.) Gamma AGAIN - I'm sorry. So, originally, this was about 80% done years ago and back then I clearly meant for duel to be a used ability - when I was asked and went ohh yea sure it doesn't use your ability I forgot about the fact that would just let you speedmurder the whole game. Hence the secret passive. Forgive.

Thoughts:

What did you like, what didn't you like?

[Vecna]

loved the game and how fast paced it was....however from a design pov i think gammagoeys role was a mistake. dual someone, shoot him, claim your flavour, and youre suddenly completely unstoppable. not that it mattered much in this situation but us autobots had absolutely no way of ever winning against that role (and neither had the dinobots if any shot had landed on zito). if zito had died at any point, it wouldve been town auto as long as goey is convincing enough.

[SpyreX]

It was a gamble for sure. But there were, in theory, ways to handle it.

But yes id probably take a very different route there.

[SpyreX]

I fully expected some form of omg an sk we have to lynch not duel...kill his face cause spyrex would totally do that assmove

[UnrealSeal]

the only thing i'm sad about

is that Unicron wasn't in this game

gg all, especially rb who fooled pretty much everyone.

real talk the only thing I'm actually mad about is people trusting Porkens even when he had screwed over Ircher.

that was a scum move through and through and people should've seen that shit.

OH BTW
I WAS RIGHT TO DOUBT THE TOWN LEADERS (Spiffeh and rb)
THAT WAS MAJESTIC

[SpyreX]

I loved the instantaneous nights.

Thats one of my.favorite parts but man its hard - its why i ran it on vacation.


And yes the porkens gambit was amazingly ballsy and i was shocked

[Fundamental Theorem]

Also, I have to admit—Creature had me fooled there to an extent. It definitely says something about being *careful* with your meta reads.
