TAZ Mafia: Murder on the Rockport Limited mod/dead thread

[Varsoon]

Seeing as TOWN wants flips from Koki and Gamma, it's pretty much GG.
What a laughable outcome for a game where scum was caught red-handed N1.
Maybe this will teach xyzzy to never design a setup where scum get a free daykill.

[Gammagooey]

I could see tomorrow being something like nsg vs Nos assuming shoshin dies

I would have played a lot more carefully instead of lolhammering a mason if I knew I didn't have a daykill I could pull out of my ass but I do think the combo of a hated townie+a scum daykill was too much here, even though town would I think 90+% win if they had killed off 2 scum in the first 3 days just from costco items

[Varsoon]

Costco items are very much 'winmore' sort of things.
Still don't believe I've seen a 'shop' in any mafia game that's been designed in a perfectly balanced and satisfying way, even in my own games :/

[Gammagooey]

the 1-shot doc seemed most useful for town from my perspective until there was only one scum left and people could just start buying trackers, if creature or anyone else had docced sircakez the night after I died town wouldn't be forced into lynching koki here or potentially autolosing tomorrow at least, and we (or at least I and I told my scumbuddies about it) knew that it was a risk targeting him given the amount of people that would get gold from my death+him being a fairly unsubtle mason partner but it still seemed worth the risk for the potential of killing off the one guy who actually cared enough about porkens shenanigans to want him dead and get a mason dead in the process

[Gammagooey]

it also really, really didn't help that town considered trying to strategize with who should get gold from my and future deaths and then didn't bother at all after porkens said he was going to stay on the wagon, including lynching a town player the next day who took up two spots on my wagon

which put basically everyone in pasta pass range but not "i can do something useful with this gold" range

[Varsoon]

Yeah they really beefed it by not just locking down the right townies getting just enough gold for a bunch of 1-shot doc shots.

[Gammagooey]

uuugh I swear if nsg can at any point look town enough to not get lynched while pushing a wagon through scum will very likely win the game

but instead she's lurking until she gets prodded again

[Varsoon]

Doesn't matter, town would rather gobble themselves up than take a lynch out on lurker-nsg.
Like there was even a moment of "WAIT! NSG HASN'T DONE ANYTHING THIS GAME!" and then it quickly went back to "Oh well we should lynch Koki, Gamma, Shoshin, Nos"

[Gammagooey]

kokichi is like the only person in the game who wants to lynch shoshin which makes it a little weird

gemerald might get lynched if koki gets lynched today, but I could see all of shoshin and nos and skitter pushing to lynch nsg first out of whoever's left alive, and if theres just one scum alive a lot of things could go wrong for porkens

[Varsoon]

Porkens and NSG have been phoning it in so hard that a town loss here really hurts my confidence in town.

[Varsoon]

Like, as an institution.

[Irrelephant11]

Town will win
I want the graphic novel, so I BELIEVE

[Gammagooey]

and like

I feel like I gave more than enough cover for Porkens, and specifically bugged NSG to bring up RC's insistence of her being town because I told RC I'd lynch her if he was 100% sure on nsg being scum and that caused RC's big flip to NSG being town and me being scum

and yeah that might reinforce a Gemerald/NSG scum pairing to shoshin but then use it to lynch Nos the day after koki's lynch and win the game, you just gotta TRY and you'll probably get away with it

[Gammagooey]

Town will win
I want the graphic novel, so I BELIEVE

I've been listening to a lot more adventure zone soundtrack stuff and a few episodes since I died in-game, I wouldn't mind it

I mostly just binge-read through a bunch of the transcripts before the game started though

[Varsoon]

I already own it.
My Taako's Correspondence Course just came in the mail yesterday, too.

[xRECKONERx]

ye ive got it already and rockport limited on preorder hype

also relistening to balance now

[Varsoon]

"Hey wait guys we should lynch nsg!"
"Yeah, Nsg hasn't done anything ALL GAME"
Shoshin: "I AM DETERMINED TO LOSE THIS GAME FOR TOWN THO"

[Irrelephant11]

Eh she makes some good mechanical points

When the glass is half empty there's like multiple gulps of water still

[Gammagooey]

i mean, rc's read is first and foremost (and probably takes precedence over everything else, honestly), but apart from that i guess i would call it more of a relative thing - that is, i feel like a lot of people are playing scummy this game, even people who i doubt are actually scum (like porkens and to a lesser extent shoshin)

what does this even meeeeeeaaaaannnnnnnnnnn just say that it's really unlikely you're scum with me b/c I was willing to lynch you nsg plz

[xyzzy]

also on the one hand I realize that having 50% of the "this week's Adventure Zone is brought to you" bits basically be Sydnee McElroy bits is leaning a little hard on people who aren't even on the podcast, but on the other hand, listen: Sydnee is terrific and is the best at what she does. all the best bits on

Sawbones

are Sydnee bits, don't @ me

[xyzzy]

night 5:

Gamma Emerald is purchasing an Extreme Teen Bible and using it on Shoshin (redirect to skitter30)
Gamma Emerald is unicorn dick vending Shoshin (redirect to skitter30)

[xyzzy]

skitter30 moving the death cop ability over to Shoshin, which actually works, because it's a ~non-targeting ability~ and therefore is unaffected by the switcheroo. I mostly did that to avoid having a role that just targets people for no clear reason in the setup because there are a lot of tracker abilities floating around this game but hey it works out well here

[schadd_]

i mean like this is a theme you're allowed to make anything not redirect / show up to trackers Because Fuck You

[xRECKONERx]

barf this game is barftown
