Open 784 - Hard-Boiled (Town Wins!)

[Nash]

Rough play from me, but good game.
Looking forward to playing with you all again.
Thanks for modding, JV!

[JacksonVirgo]

How did I do at modding?

[Gypyx]

Well played town, you guys completely crushed

And Jackson you did some great modding, you really made me enjoy the game a bit more

[Deimos27]

Townblock too strong
Great game all
Honoured to be N1 nk

[Marashu]

GG town!

The really frustrating part was, I spotted Drew's clues like right away. I was trying to pocket Drew because I knew he was hider. But I couldn't communicate it, and then both my partners subbed out and neither one were really aware of the early game. I also feel like town was so ready to eliminate Nash D2 that if Gypyx had placed a vote there at pretty much any time, someone would have hammered. But yeah, I played poorly D1. I tend to take a long time with my short posts, so this time I was trying to rush to get more posts out, and that's what got me caught.

I don't want to undersell town here, though - you all played very well! It was tough trying to get anything past you.

JV and the worst, thanks for running! No redactions from me for Mafia PT

[Marashu]

(I also realized after my posting it that my mention of the plan before D1 hammer was really for the benefit of both partners, who had subbed in and might not have known about it but if they spotted hider they could plan accordingly, and was worried after posting that people would scrutinize it)

[Aristophanes]

Good game!

I had the absolute worst reads ever, but we pulled it off!

I thought Mara was town but the designated Elim.

I thought PP was town and Nash was scum D2.

I thought Nash couldn't be scum D3 because of the competing wagon with PP but I had no better option.

That said, I thought Tux was a PR and caught the Hider crumb. So at least I can hunt town easily enough!

Gokd game and good modding! You added some really nice things into the game, Jackson, and I appreciated them!
Good mod notes, clean VC, the joined ISOs I have never seen done but I adored them! Quick replacements, The Worst co-mod, etc were all great!

Good game guys! This setup might need review, as Dunn mentioned, as it can mechanically win the game itself with the right circumstances as seen here.

[Battle Mage]

Eh, i kinda wanted to try to survive for as long as possible but on second thoughts i think we all have better things to do with our life

And now time to cast my first vote of the game

VOTE: Gypyx

this is pretty sucky - I wanted to play this one out to see if we could get a clean sweep legitimately.

[Battle Mage]

We win.

Right there there's 9 people alive, 4 of which can't be mafia

If Nash is town and mafia kill Drew + Ari and I get an innocent tracker result...

6 people alive, 4 of which can't be mafia (Tracker + 2 clears + Psychologist) - both candidates can be eliminated before a loss

If mafia kill me instead and Drew gets an innocent on Ari...

7 people alive, 4 of which can't be mafia (Tracker Clear + Hider Clear + Hider + Psychologist) -

all 3 candidates can be eliminated before a loss

The bit in bold is not necessarily true with the presence of a hider. As such, scum could theoretically have still won this game, and the giving up was premature and needless. I've won as scum in a worse position than this.

[Battle Mage]

Ah well, a disappointing end, but a really good game overall - strategy worked a treat and learning from the mistakes of when this setup last ran really helped.

A strong advert for the BM school of scumhunting and the mighty townblock which was all town.

Nah it was gg as long as hider hides in the PoE cause any 2-for-1 then also saves town an elim

It's still true, town eliminates town -> 6 people alive, mafia kills the hider's target (an unclear vt) + the hider, that brings the game to 4 players alive. Those players are the previous days hider clear, the tracker clear, the psychologist, and the last mafia, who is the only non-cleared player left

[superbowl9]

Gg yo, fun playing with all of you! Mods you were awesome. Tough game for scum, deimos BM and word yall put in that work

when do scummy award nominations close?

[Battle Mage]

congratulations to my townblock for passing the first semester

[Gypyx]

sorry for early resignation and general bad play btw, i was completely psychologically crushed, really need to work on self-confidence

also BM are you always that good or is that just a fluke? x)

[Marashu]

Thanks for subbing in - it was a tough game state to come in on. I dropped the ball by not setting things up for you to not be in that position by the time you came in, or to support the team in general.

[Battle Mage]

I did respect your honesty on that one!

I don't think you played bad! You were the last surviving team member, so there's something to be said for that, and you may have survived a bit longer.

I'd love to say I'm always this good, but I've had some real shitty performances as town this year.

I think I'm improving though, which is something, so hopefully more games like this in future!

[Battle Mage]

just seen that Midari was crumbing in order to fakeclaim Vig.

I have no words to adequately describe how bad a plan this was.

[Marashu]

Yeah - she mentioned it in the PT as well, despite tracker being more common.
