NY214: Project Pinecone (Game over! Town wins!)

[Raskolnikov]

oh nvm. but why try to keep kill off me as sk

[Raskolnikov]

i thought that was probably the play as vig (that's totally a town vig thing to do) but as SK now im slightly confused

[the worst]

it was like a soft scumlean which mostly dsvelopped d2 LMAO I actually had flashbacks to our chat about how we approach the game as different alignments and had a couple of pings. you also felt different to BSanders for a bit early game but it like... wore off when you became towny af and cleared....

dram was so so so so so so so scum I couldn't not kill him n1

[Raskolnikov]

nah I definitely played different this game than BS idk I like it mix it up every game for no reason

[the worst]

dw me too
that was a very general like read not like the dram/MoI reads

having reliable meta is for chumps right?

[Pine]

This game would have gone very differently had Mafia not lost their most toothy PR before using it

[the worst]

[the worst]

actually gonna throw down mad respect for the hard anti bus play from {dram, MoI, profii}
(sky already knows I think she's rad)

taking such a strong stance as "we will not lynch a claimed pr and it doesn't matter if he's scum d1" was like.... an insanely ballsy take on a scumbuddy. and staying off the profii wagon given how lynchable he was, with some solid reasoning, was also like a pretty impressive play

[Pine]

Like I said, everyone did a great job. The scumteam got crushed hard, but they went down swinging, and spun each new shitstorm in the best light possible.

QFT.

[brassherald]

I think 4 scum, so dramonic, Flubbernugget, Gustavo, and HeWhoSwims.

If I am right, please confirm in the thread immediately.

I got 1 of them here.

Though, I admit, the others were pretty much random.

People expect me to read so much in these games, we should just make audiobook versions of these games so I can participate better.

[the worst]

Annadog40 is working on that!

[brassherald]

She has to work on it faster, I really just do not ever want to read a game anymore. I skimmed.

[Pine]

I know I fell down a bit on the flavor this game, and for that you have my apologies.

However, if you enjoy my design aesthetics and the early flavor of this game, Aristophanes and I are in the process of designing a new theme game.

Working title: Plead Your Case
Size: 14 players*
Bastard: No, some disclosed elements
Mechanics: In the confirmation stage, everyone will submit a ranked-order list of preference to become the game’s Magistrate. The Magistrate will become a Town-aligned Treestump, with an important caveat: theirs is the only vote which matters. What the Magistrate says, goes. They have the sole power to dictate lynches, and thus all cases and arguments will be addressed to the Magistrate. They will also have power over procedure, able to set new rules and restrictions (within reason). The remainder of the players will then be issued standard roles in a typical 10:3 spread.

Hitalt's detective outing TW d2 was probably most crucial action.

I haven't been active on site with any of my accounts for a while now, but wanted to pop in and thank Rask for that N1 "save"!
I now know I WASN'T the target for the scum-kill, but even now I think my assumption was reasonable and lead to some correct deductions.
And the way Rask implied Doc soon after further cemented my thoughts on them. Ausuka claiming Vendor immediately after scum made me sort of townbin them too (felt a strong paranoia before that).
I feel like those two slots helped me immensely in evaluating the game at that point.
I think my reads were overall "OK" for D1 and D2, and I'm just sad I couldn't carry it through the whole game..

Sorry to everyone for how I acted D1 - it was absolutely NOT NORMAL for me! I just wanted to throw shit up in the air to make sure I have enough to analyze for days to come, and to help me decide who I'd check N1.
Also sorry for how I "hijacked" the whole thread when I wanted to pressure TW into scumclaiming, but I sort of still stand behind that course of action since it really did confirm my suspicions on them.

I still think Town!Duck (VigDuck) would've acted differently under that same pressure.

(what a way for me to take responsibility for acting like a douche!)
My thought-process was that as long as Ducky doesn't know WHAT I know about them, they'll have to avoid committing to any specific role/modifier. (if I was a rolecop, I would've seen that multitask+bulletproof = not a good Vig-claim afterwards etc)

As a sidenote: This was the only game I've ever replaced out of, and I intend to keep it as such, so I won't come back to playing until I've finally managed to sort things in my personal life.
Thanks to everyone!

As sent to pine

Thanks! I loved it. One of the better/more fun games I've played around here. I'll follow it hopefully.

If one of sky/chick is scum and TW is serial killer I'll demand the entire town will buy me drinks

Pay up yall!

But for real I loved this and I loved you all as a playerlist so THANKS FOR ALL EVERYONE!

Also TW you are one of my favourite players here if not #1 but can we please end up on the same faction again for once

well I'm broke so good luck

[Gamma Emerald]

Also sorry a50

Yeah, no problem. Just remember that I do get NK'd as a CLAIMED VANILLA TOWNIE all the same. My claim canNOT be trusted by the "evil forces" and those who know me well know that for a fact.

I feel so so bad for this. I kinda realised both of my kill prospects in you and HWS were probably town but you were always a VT. I'm ok with the SK rant thread being released BTW. and in that I think I expressed my burning desire to kill scum again but the fact that if MoI flipped green I was doomed.

Yeah btw I was right on A50, ha

looks cool

[Almost50]

I'm actually seriously considering nominating the worst for a "Best Third Party" Scummy despite the wide margin of the Town win here. In this game, I think it's a solid case of the Serial Killer being too accurate for their own good.

Anyone else have thoughts on that?

No one gets a prize for shooting me. NO ONE.

I agree here. He was being kept around because he was shooting well but really hitting the last mafia hurt him. There was no way he was making it to Mylo/lylo and it was all because the mafia team would have been obviously dead by then.

good luck. thats probably a more healthy response than my stay anyways and let play suffer progressively more and more approach

yeah wow. i would never have imagined scum would shoot you on that especially when you were also set up as the vig target ROFL. sorry about misreading you i really was baffled that you were like 80-90% focused about your own gambit and nk baiting strats over who should be lynched but i really should've done due diligence and meta on you or at least asked more from others familiar (though i think most of those people were scum here?)

Could probably find an app to read the posts for you

[davesaz]

Several of the people who drove me out of this game were scum. Interesting...
When someone doesn't have an opinion and they say they don't have an opinion, typically they're town.

[the worst]

@dave if it's any solace the really really crappy pushes on you early on helped me forming a couple of my scumspects

[profii]

actually gonna throw down mad respect for the hard anti bus play from {dram, MoI, profii}
(sky already knows I think she's rad)

taking such a strong stance as "we will not lynch a claimed pr and it doesn't matter if he's scum d1" was like.... an insanely ballsy take on a scumbuddy. and staying off the profii wagon given how lynchable he was, with some solid reasoning, was also like a pretty impressive play

I am mad lynch bait yo
