I guess I'll just hammer now
Seems like all there is to do.
Here be a rhyme with 'know'
'Cause I haven't got a clue

What to talk to you about
For the rest of my poem.
Maybe the all of you lot
Wanna know I'm having a "crème"

Which is delicious coffee
Mixed with liquid cream,
No added sugar sorry,
Dip in bread and tis a dream.

Also, please know that I hate oreos.
It is American food and it shows.

Yeah vollk, the butt of my stanza
Was you and your last post which has
the "I am frankly unsure as
to Tony's mind" etcetera

Sorry, Tenchi, for my mix-up
Here is the post where I detect
the Dodge-'breadcrumb' in retrospect
He was probing a wagon. Yup?

Just saw the hammer now
I would have rather held
Until I could read back

More further, to know how
To lynch, not mis-dispell
(Bad verse (scrambling to (yack?)))

"did you get ces to look disgusted by their offer? i thought that might work" - Patrick

First off: Good game scum. I was leanin hard on Tony being scum and had some doubts about SSK, but Volk was high on my town-meter.

The fact I didn't think of a role that would manipulate an already bad trackers results.. well. :P

So, I'm not sure if it was supposed to be bastardly modded or if I'm just reading it wrong but this seems like a very scum-sided setup. The only "useful" town role was the masons and both the others were gimped. On the offchance the SK took a blast at scum they had a 1/3 chance of blocking it. And, personally, although I loved the PR's they definitely lean towards helping scum versus town.

So, good job modding overall but I just cant help but think this one was a lost cause for town. :P

If I had gotten a clean on Tenchi, my results had me leaning towards the actual scumgroup - I suspected vollkan on the condition that SSK was scum with him, and I suspected SSK on the grounds that Tenchi was clean. Getting a bad result when I was already completely useless was just terrible.

HA! :P

Looking at the role list, yeah, this game looks heavily scum-sided.

I saw SL vote me to L-1 and considered claiming, but figured, "Nah... they probably won't believe a vanilla claim, and besides, would they really be so stupid as to hammer on page 5, page 4 if you ignore the part where we discussed the artistic aspects?"

So my reaction when Infinis hammered: :shock: "...WTF? Did he really just do that?"

Good game, y'all, though I'm not sure I was in it long enough for it to really count in my W/L record. :roll: Maybe next time...
Discretion is the better part of valor.
If I helped lynch you, you deserved it.

Good game, scum, and good game, all.

Sadly, it wasn't until the last day that I got the best read on everyone. Volkan and Tony barning JDodge with absolutely no concern that he was lying scum was a big clue.

Tenchi not having any clue why he had been fingered was understandable but why his vote didn't go immediatley to JDodge was confusing to me. Still, it ended up in the right place so what do I know? o.o

As for me, I didn't quite know what to do with the Gravedigger role, but my role reminded me of the Miller role and I was under the impression that Millers claim right away. So, I made plenty of references to graves and a couple of references to me having a shovel and burying people in case I got tracked and needed some breadcrumbing.

Korts, I had been really looking forward to this game, and I had a blast playing. But, yeah, it did feel a bit lopsided. If you ever do another one, you can count me in (as long as you don't give me Haikus!)

If you're accepting constructive criticism:

- Keep in mind that the PR's are a point in the scum's favor. It makes analyzation more difficult for the townies.

- Scum roles: The Godfather only affected the neutral. The Doctor was also only relevant against the neutral as the tracker couldn't pick up his actions and the vig couldn't kill. Thus, The Framer (Undertaker) was the only anti-town role the scum had. It's not the strongest mafia role of all time, but it can be potent, and we see that it worked here.

Town roles: The vig was blank, and the tracker could only pick up harmful investigations. The town had a Miller, essentially, in the gravedigger. The only positive role that we had was the Mason pair, but that was neutered by inactivity.

So, neutral aside, the game was 2 harmful town roles + Mason pair vs. 1 Framer. Add in the anti-town aspect of the PR's and I think we ended up with a lopsided game.

Also, I think replacements were insufficient. Definitely Hohum's and probably BlakAdder's roles should have been mod killed and their roles revealed. There was no way the town could be expected to analyze their actions. Three weeks of no posts was highly destructive to the town's efforts, and no amount of replacing at that point would have fixed it.

Just my thoughts. It's my hope that you find something helpful in there if you decide to run another one like this.

Gg, all.

Thanks for the criticism, Pads, I appreciate any feedback. And in retrospect I realize the blind tracker-undertaker pair was a wrong direction--I originally intended to make every power role pretty much useless (except Masons). I hope this doesn't ruin the experience completely.

On the whole I think this was a reasonably good game--it didn't stall as I had feared it would, and the players did a very fine job, especially near the end. Big props to all the players who replaced in, and those who stood by the game all the way through.

If you want to give me another chance, feel free to pre-in for 9p Semi-Open Deep South Mini Normal, a quick venture into the Deep South mechanic before my magnum opus.

I didn't counter JDodge because it will only worsen my position. I am the only one who thinks crap is happening, and I think JDodge has been reasonable in his posting for most of the game. Further, I think scum wouldn't out themselves and put themselves in a 50-50 lynch situation. Finally, picking me as a scum target to lynch? I think if they had a target they would go for someone more valuable like Vollkan.

What Vollkan said on how JDodge could be a real tracker just solidified my hunch.

In due fairness, when I rethought everything, I caught two scum. I left Spring alone, and accused Tony and MafiaSSK.

===================================

My two cents: This was a totally bad setup. Information is the only weapon of townies and mangling information to townies, especially if they only have a few mislynches is bad. Let's see how much info is going to be mangled:

1. Scum will lie.
2. Vigilante shooting blanks.
3. Gravedigger
4. Restrictions on Mafia Doctor (I mean, what the hell is that???)
5. Godfather investigation immunity
6. JOAT investigation immunity
7. Undertaker
8. and that undertaker is Mafia
9. Naive Tracker
10. Poetry Restrictions!!!

How bad can that get?
Yes. That same Tenchi. :D

Reicheru and Tenchi begin to bond more, sending love letters to each other.
