Zachtown in the mountains (Game over TOWN WINS!)

[Benmage]

I may be but in general I find scum the favorite. This is magnified 10X when mountainous. If you ask me this is as balanced as a mountainous can be, which in my opinion is still a scum dominated genre. A more competent scum team wins this hands down.

I've also never been caught as scum by anything other than a powerrole...so go figure.

I think I agree with Oso mostly. Scum was in a bad spot after two correct lynches early on but...well, isn't that what happens when own hits that accurate?

The one thing I will say is I don't think scum have such an advantage where day talk should be limited - either the day talk is worth giving them or it isn't (I'd say give it, considering the double lynch mechanic) but frankly the whole half day on/half off business kinda felt confusing and slightly left me off balance as to keeping track of such conversation.

[Baby Spice]

That I agree with. Also I think the starting scum team didn't think it through and chose poorly right at the start to have the chat D1P2 not D1P1.

I also think Mina's idea to trim down the town was actually a good one.

Yeah, full daytalk might work better with this kind of setup.

[Thor665]

I'd agree. I consider full day talk to be a scumvantadge, but frankly a double lynch is a solid townvantadge so it feels relatively powered.

Not necessarily a PR catch, considering.

Dayvig doesn't count?

[VP Baltar]

Not when almost everyone could dayvig!

[Sotty7]

I really wanted to shoot someone in that game

[Benmage]

Still ...the point isn't that I've never been under suspicion, but try getting a majority on me...not easy.

And I have tried very hard to erase that game from my memory.... traitors on a scum team = fail game.

[havingfitz]

Good job town.

Did the scum QT ever get posted?

[Thor665]

Meh, 2 of 3 of the surviving scum team consented, and Dry Fit only ever posted once, so here;

Good stuff. Many props to you and Baby Spice for keeping that interesting!

[Percy]

I am very happy that we won this game. I would have had a meltdown if we lost this one!

Benmage's 1-2-3 success. Told ya I had this one on lockdown. Just needed to bypass a little collateral damage.

I'd like to add my thanks to Zach for running the game and to Sotty for inviting me to play in the first place.

This!

We got luckyish with baby spice

Oh, and Benmage? Here's your new avatar.

Yesssssssss

(Percy, I revoked my bet. IT DOESN'T COUNT!)

Awwwww....

Historically, balance in a mountainous game is best at a ratio of 2:10. The double day mechanic is definitely beneficial to the town, so adding an additional scum player was necessary.

I think the game could be run and still be balanced at 3:10 or 3:11 - this kind of game requires a lot more work from scum than your average game. But 3:13 worked out well, considering how close we came to losing!

I think Thor did really well at the end there and got a lot of mislynches happening before he got done, so kudos to him. I'm relatively happy with my play in this game; I was wrong about Dry-fit, and even though I somehow spent the entire game being hounded for it, I still got the BS lynch. And the KScope lynch felt fucking fantastic, even though he was town. Vindictive, much?

Thanks again to Zach for a great game, and I had fun playing with you all!

[Elmo]

Mmh. KScope is never a bad lynch.

I just now looked through your posts because I had great difficulty finding the case at the time. I don't think her slip was a slip - I just can't really imagine scum blurting that kind of thing out, and I've seen town use that kind of phrasing before. I do think her vote on Lrdwhyt was scummy, actually. I see the argument for but don't really buy into the point about her going after Benmage's early mistake about lynching; it's pretty clear he made a mistake, but remember that IAI did something very similar and he turned out to be town; maybe there's a finer distinction to be made there, but that influenced my view. I think her position against Benmage as "arrogant scum" isn't scummy; I think it's literally possibly true but a dubious position to take, but to me it's believable that a townie would have that reaction to Benmage's general abrasiveness, and I still don't really see any tactical gain from it.

[Furcolow]

We got luckyish with baby spice and scum got lucky furclow was town. Both weren't making it to lylo.

I have won the game for the town in lylo
I would have lynched IAI or Thor just the same as you, so
