@NSG I’m sorry we didn’t get more of a chance to play with each other this game, I was really pleased when I saw you’d repped in

It's really easy to think you're in a worse position than you are as scum. I was so so confident you were town from the dead thread, and you know better than anyone how to win games despite seeming like you're obvious scum.

what would you have done seeing you rolled scum in that setup? knowing there were two week deadlines for each vote, not knowing about the bulletproof dance mechanics until later, and assuming the scum did what they did in that game and revealed 2 of them had role pms kind of implying they might be traitors working against the others (but not really)?

Its an objective view cuz one of the players is a mason, the other was neighbors with scum and also a 1 shot neighbor who gets cleared off of a scum flip, and the last townie is very apparent in her townmeta and it makes 0 sense for them to be scum over me.

FL still had me uncertain until he did the classic 'FL-replace-out-scumclaim' move.

its having the chance to win. In doomed slots the illusion of that exists but that doesn’t mean it’s real it’s just an illusion.

It’s not an objective view because this is mafia and I’ve seen lylos were scum had no business winning and have personally won in a 3p where the player I 1v1’d was mechanically inno’d to the player casting the deciding vote

hm, i think i find it harder to reevaluate my townreads (that townread me too) to neutral/scummier positions in my readlists when i'm not confident in my towniness level relative to the gamestate. that's soom good introspection that could help me. feels the same as in deathcurse where my one wrong TR was the one where they were defending me a lot. i think i'm too prone to being buddied if i'm not heavily TR on average

@NSG: what is this, out of interest?
for example, mafiauniverse tends to be much stricter about people replacing out of games. of course, their games avg. 24-36 hour day deadlines and so it isn't an entirely apples to apples comparison between the websites. i believe that they also tend to see replacements as more game-breaking and, as far as i'm aware though, a large view there is that mafiascum tends to be somewhat frivolous with our replacements. discussion of the reason behind a replace-out like some people did for flavor leaf is sort of a taboo.

i think that discussing exactly how winnable the game actually was is sort of a distraction from what i see as the real issue, which is that of conceding against your partner's wishes and—in a sense—playing out of spite and against your win condition.

The game was entirely winnable even if there’s disagreement on the extent of that and given that it was conceding and claiming scum with me was totally unacceptable

Yes people are absolutely prone to human error

Mafia setups are there to enforce wincons and to guide people, but they don't determine the way someone perceives your slot as a whole

I'd say that regardless of how winnable the game actually was or wasn't conceding against your partner's wishes is wrong.

I might say that there are obviously exceptions for a literal mechanical loss or something similar where there is no possibility of scum winning even if every townie suddenly got mind controlled, but that obviously isn't the situation here.

Oh so it doesn’t matter if the game was actually unwinnable?

Also I still think bussing Mena is correct.
