Micro 950: Lovers Mafia

[Doctor Drew]

Drew, you were painfully obvtown to me; it's unbelievable how they treat our good cult leaders nowadays... just not right, I'm telling you. Thanks, Nancy, I thought that scumslip actually had good grounds! I like your new avatar.

Sorry about replacing out btw, was (and still am) overwhelmed with games.

Jesus Hectic.....why did you leave me??

Thank you everyone for playing the game, I do plan on modding this setup again! In addition to a large theme I've been working on.

For the next game I am adjusting the deadlines to 7 days on day 1 and 5 days on day 2+. Deadlines here felt really short even if they never mattered. I am trying to find a balance that allows games to move quickly and I am still not sure what that is given that number is different for every player base.

Those sound like reasonable deadlines to me.
Thank you for modding!

I agree the first day should be longer then following days, in my experience in this setup(including here) after D1 the days go quickly.

Also, would love to see a variant of this setup with 10 players, the extra two players being a 3p cult.

But I am just a whore for shoving cults in every setup.

My first experience with this setup was a 12 player variant but it had a 3rd scum rather then a cult. Although I prefer micros when mechanics allow them to be possible.

SCUMSLIP

votato is in the mindset for getting a mislynch today, which is why he thinks scum will know all the pairs tomorrow. If he's town, he would consider what happens the other 50% of the time when scum is lynched - which he should be aiming for.

i dont think this is the scumslip you're looking for. you're assuming a random lynch. is scum just refuses to bus, 5/6 townies all have to agree on a scum lynch, including 1 townie to self-vote. a mislynch is all but assured today. the game gets interesting tomorrow.

I was spectating this game, and props to Genghis for nailing this obvious scumslip. Having meta on both town and scum!Drew and Raya being painfully obvtown, I had them as the pure t/t pair. Sleeper was also blatantly obvtown. Holden did fool me though but considering I really couldn’t be confident that scum was in the Pooky/Bugs pair, I don’t really understand why everyone was so convinced Holden/Tux were the t/t pair. I also thought Tex was townier than Holden.

Hey look, someone who knows my meta saw me as obvtown. Crazy.

If only you didn't cherry pick a scum game of mine and did some actual town work Pooky.

And yes, in my blind rage here I forgot about that obvious scum slip that Genghis pointed out.......how did you not go back to see this Pooky?

Also, good to see you again Nancy......we need to play in a game soon.

<3

I think if Raya/Sleeper were paired up, I think town would have won this game hands down. The obvious mistake you guys made was determining Holden/Tux as the pure pair. Basically since both Raya and Sleeper were strongly both town, logic would dictate that you ideally don’t lynch from either pair unless one of the players does something obviously scummy which Votato did.

His locking in Sleeper as obvtown so quick was also a bit suspicious and Raya had it right when she speculated that he had hard pocketed Sleeper. Why she switched her vote to Pooky confuses me, since no one had higher scum equity than Votato.

Pooky’s posts made this game a fun read though.


I might run this game myself but allow the pairs to actually choose each other before randing the alignments because how much you enjoy this game often depends on whom you get as a partner.

[HoldenGolden]

Why not have a day 0 phase where one person is elected to choose who gets paired?

This would be something players during the day 0 phase vote for

I'd prein to this or eventually steal your idea because this sounds amazing.

Thank you, it’s Sutton Foster.

This would be FakeGods dance setup with a few more steps and the day 0 phase is my least favorite part of that setup.
Ends up being townie people being shoved together then tin foiling each other.

I always found the best pairs to be the ones made in the pregame.

Jesus Hectic.....why did you leave me??

I'm sorry! Your fault for not being Lovers with me clearly.

[HoldenGolden]

Hectic I'm sad you left me and brought up Alexander the Great in the process.

Could I run this as my first virgin game as a mod? If so, I could run it now.

I’ve played this game twice on MU.. Had an awesome partner first game and loved it. The second time I played, literally got 3 partners from hell and hated it.

Hectic/drew/Raya town bloc would have been unstoppable!

[HoldenGolden]

Oh shit I didnt even get to artificially add to the statistics of my 100*% success towntell.

I won the game, but lost the war.

Pedit: prob would if been if I couldnt cha cha real smooth into the block.

[Doctor Drew]

Also, I just assume everyone is a Hectic alt at this point.

And, yes Nancy! I would pre in as well.

[bugspray]

i had literally no idea that we entered day 2
what is even going on

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

And yes, in my blind rage here I forgot about that obvious scum slip that Genghis pointed out.......how did you not go back to see this Pooky?

I already told you I was setting votato up for being lynched but I wanted to test out if you were being real about it or if it was bullshit because it was more important to figure out if you were town. If you didn't go banzai on me like a crazy person we would've won easy

I wanna hate you......but god dammit you killed it this game.

You dirty sonuva bitch.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

How much town work did you do on me? You put me at L-1 and called me obvscum without a shred of evidence when I was obviously town.

What can I say, I like it down and dirty daddy

(For real though I need to learn how to properly shade people as scum instead of settling on being obv town like i always do.)

[Tuxedo Mask]

I'm down to try any set up of this again. Though the day zero thing sounds like a bit of drag. No offense Holden, I just think you're dumb and I hate you and your day 0 idea.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

As I said in the PT, I get why I come off as scummy.......but I don't get when people get to that point not using logic.

I did use logic, you scumslipped 3 times this game

[Doctor Drew]

i had literally no idea that we entered day 2

I enjoy this gimmick, no lie

We already moved on from you, the only bear you can poke is yourself......since I am sure no one else would poke it.
