I probably won’t say anything else until I can write something that won’t get me banned.

:(

i guess i'm not crazy for thinking that fn + bomb + mfd was kinda balanced
and i was right on tw way back when, wrong just about on anything else

i think this was lost like early day2 and i guess i'll have a retrospective on just why/how later

Just because I rolled scum doesn’t mean my emotions weren’t 100% real - including my reaction to essentially misreading Lilith’s post and getting genuinely upset about that as well.

I take having my ethics called into question like that extremely upsetting. There is no mafia game ever where I jerk people around like that to win a game and it’s horribly insulting that anyone would think so little of my character. I never go out of my way to hurt people. I don’t know what you guys think I’m capable of but I don’t do that to further my wincon
especially
as scum ffs!
I just posted this in the scum PT so if @Skitter and @Dats want to go off on me for that I 100% don’t deserve it. I’m not a fucking psycopath! :cry:
And you can fucking ask duckling if you think I’m lying about any of this. He will 100% confirm I 100% did have an actual meltdown, for the exact reasons I claimed.

Spoiler:
I do have rl issues that were triggered by that. Not a single thing about any of it was fake or strategic. I legit had a meltdown
and I even made it clear in that post that it wasn’t game related and NAI. I never ever lie about rl anything and I sure af am not some fucking sadist. I don’t treat people that way ever, I couldn’t live with myself if I did!

i have some things to say to that i that i probably should not say here

in fact i have a lot of things to say that i probably don't want to say rn

but yeah

enjoyed the pl for the most part
grats scum

micc i gotta say that the game was ~out-of-the-norm~ enough that it was hard to make any determinations on what or could be considered fair-game here.
i thought the game was normal-adjacent until the pooky vig/bomb thing happened. and then didn't. and then did again cuz he was probably lying, right? and then the mfd kinda threw all that out of the window

thanks for modding tho

For realz I am an emotional abuse survivor and another player on here - no they weren’t even sr me, just implying I was - take your pick: stupid, crazy and something else I thankfully can’t remember now and it triggered a rl meltdown for weeks afterwards, so I just can’t deal with anything at all like that, so if I’m reassured that nothing like that is even possibly happening here, I will eventually calm down and go back to playing like I did before that happened.
Eventhough I’m town here, my meltdown should be strictly viewed as NAI.
If anyone thinks I make up this kind of shit - to lay out my raw emotions like this and thoroughly embarass myself to win a fucking internet game, I have no words.

I can definitely back up that you were really visibly shaken & upset by that exchange, yeah. I don't know if this conversation needs to happen in public / right now though; it might be healthier to wait until everyone has calmed down a bit then chat about it directly?

Fine but all of it was 100% real. I don’t play with people’s emotions like that especially as scum.
Spoiler:
I was legit triggered based on a rl history of actual and persistent gaslighting for my entire childhood in fact but that’s not something for a public game.


As for what I posted post-hammer, you never want to assume the game is over until it actually is.

man, this game.

here's my notes thread where you can read how bad i am at this game, if anyone needs a laugh, and it seems like we do need it: https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=83851

thank you for modding, micc.

@scum, gg.

@raven, if this is about the me/you/pooky spat (from yesterday? a few days back? i genuinely don't remember, time is an illusion) i do believe that was an unintentional shitfest that spiraled out of control very quickly and was ultimately NAI and we all would've liked it better if it hadn't happened, and i treated it as such.

@pooky... sorry. just... sorry.
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

<3 Thank you. Yeah I am seriously hurt that anyone would think me capable of such despicable behaviour, so yeah I’ve been crying in the scum discord ever since I read those comments from Skitt/Dats and I knew I couldn’t handle it if I waited until after the fact.

Both duckling and I actually did think Pooky was super obvtown and I 100% meant what I said that he sounded 180 degrees different to me here than in coalition.

It is also true that town!me would have had some niggling doubts about his posts about town!duckling executing Pooky to confirm his role.

This game was emotional torture for me and I probably couldn’t have gotten through it without duckling’s support.
I’m legit feel bad if anything I did was unintentionally hurtful in anyway. I never want to hurt anyone.

@Sorry dsjstr for the deathtunnel but I probably would have done that as town as well.

@Sorry Pooky, I know you were put through the ringer and if you ever want to vent, feel free to either PM or DM me. Same for dsjstr or anyone else.

We had to kill you because we couldn’t take the chance that you would figure out the game and I think you were the only one who possibly could have. Preventing Skitter’s FN confirmation was actually secondary. We 100% needed you gone before you put two + two together and completely destroyed our game.

That's really all I have to say. Pooky got dealt a terrible hand and then played it terribly.

Bodyguard claim seems to have been playing with fire when you didn't know the whole setup, no? Surely if Pooky's PR had been stronger you would have paid for that.

We actually thought she was just regular town neighbour and that Pooky was a 1 shot dayvig deactivator.

ok makes me feel a bit better than, the setup was kinda wack which didn't help things
significant portion of clearing tw came down to that but given the setup not sure i could have assessed that otherwise

This is an open setups and we were given a suboptimal selection of fakeclaims. Duckling almost went with regular town neighbour but it turned out that the bg choice worked a lot better. Duckling did legit think that Koba had softed a PR and was initially his first kill choice. SS, I mean.

He also wanted us to use mfd D1 and we had a bit of a heated discussion on why Lillith was the optimal kill and by duckling. We were both in sync with Skitt mfd kill N2.

Like if the bomb claims then they're just a fancy VT and scum can STILL kill them if they want. If the bomb doesn't claim then again they either do nothing or whoops, one scum is dead and the other has to mark so town gains an extra mis-exe and a free scum kill. And scum don't know that this is what the mark is meant to avoid.

This might be balanced per se but it's balanced around a small chance of a bomb hit which wrecks scum and a larger chance of no bomb hit when town just has no power.

Sorry, Micc and schadd, but there's my $0.02. If you've got a review topic for this, I would like to see it, just to see what you considered and thought about.

If you read YoM1, you would notice that the scum and town roles matched pretty well. That’s how I new immediately that Skitter was either regular town neighbour or FN. As for Pooky, he kept talking speculating on whether or not scum had a 1 shot kill, so I deduced correctly that he had some kind of killing role.

In YoM1, town had an N2 investigator and scum a rolecop, so since duckling was mafia neighbour, Skitt’s role made perfect sense. I actually initially considered my mfd role to be a negative utility but duckling eventually made me realize that it could be a positive.

I also think that duckling claiming a bg on SS sort of made his role confirmed and greatly helped take suspicion off of him post mfd Skitter mark.

We did have a backup plan had Pooky been flipped over dsjstr but it would have put duckling in a weaker position. We did discuss my bussing duckling but w/o a regular NK, it would have been a tough road.

I’ll start with good things:

- my 100% read rate on SS stays intact yayyyyyy (now I just have to beat my record of lockreading within 17 SS posts)
- I enjoyed playing with most of you
