Open 459: There is a New Scum in Town. Game Over Town Wins!

Also you were obv. killed after because your vote went into the final lynch wagon.

[buldermar]

FFS Bulder stop doing what you do on TR and respond to all posts in one post please. I know I battled you on this in your newbie game and fucking goddamnit no more.

Butwhy

Then I guess I technically won the game before I was killed.

[Majiffy]

BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO READ AND FUCK WALLS AND POST COUNTS AND GODDAMNIT.

Sorry, I'm currently frustrated with life.

WAIT WHAT YEAH WHAT THE FUCK RACH SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK.

[Majiffy]

THIS IS LIKE INCEPTION AND SHIT.

[Maenara]

Welp, looks like we won. Well, yay.

Knew I wasn't likely confirmed, but I thought that drawing attention to the fact would probably be a bad idea.

Nice play town; fellow scum, sorry I couldn't pull that out, but it was fun working with you while it lasted.

I would love to know what made Nachomamma8 so confident that I was the last scum (although I'll point out that the people who were likely to be alive the next day, since Majiffy was the necessary NK choice, didn't agree to the popcorn lynch plan) if he doesn't mind sharing.

I was really surprised that the director didn't JK me again Night 3; I really lucked out with the Majiffy protection. I probably should have let myself get lynched that day to give uctriton00 a better chance of making it, but live and learn.

Thanks to RachMarie for modding, and thanks to everyone in the Graveyard for providing such entertaining commentary!

lol the dead thread people wanted to fucking kill me when I unvoted you

[penguin_alien]

Ech, bunch of armchair quarterbacks! Nah, you made the right decision in the end, and close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, not Mafia.

Even though we didn't get truly far, there was enough waffling in this game on all our lunches that made the game entertaining for us. It was a good mix of people.

Harsh on poor Aether though. Even more awkward when people started quitting. Surprising to see Majiffy who prides himself on being abrasive managed to meet someone who could out abrasive him

[RachMarie]

After this game, I guess I am ready to handle modding almost anything it has been quite an experience lol.

Majiffy the reason for that was if I had just modkilled him it might have thrown the game off. Matt P looked the game over and gave me the idea of have the lynch go through and then have Buldermar modkilled as a Neutral Survivor to preserve the balance in the game. That way town was not penalized for what Buldermar did. I am adding a specific rule in my rule set so it coordinates with the site rules as well.

It wasn't abrasiveness, it was sheer stupidity making my brain hurt.

[RachMarie]

Aether was trying to get mod killed, which is why I force replaced him instead. He also had been cheating in other games though not in this one as far as I know. That was why he was banned.

I'm sorry that you had to spend time figuring out how to resolve this issue.

I can see the point you're conveying. However, the modkill itself was extraneous in terms of influence on the outcome of the game because it happened post-game. That being said: had the lynch not ended the game, I think this would have been the most fair decision (given the premise that I have to be modkilled, ofc).

although i will be honest bork saying that penguin was super town for being down with dying almost broke my heart

totally knew no one except for majiffy would agree to popcorn lynching
that's why i quickhammered myself
the two biggest things for you being scum was the tunneling on nobody special and how you reacted to majiffy's doc of you. you tried to leverage getting your tunnel lynch from your confirmed status instead of taking a break and reanalyzing things and it looked like you guessed you wouldn't be confirmed town forever. You also noticed the obvious logic flaw in being confirmed (JK target) and yet still acknowledged that you were conftown, which felt off. I don't think you would have a problem saying "no the reasons for me being cleared are wrong" as town, but as scum there are obvious reasons for you to not to shut down bad reasons that confirmed you as town.

[borkjerfkin]

I feel like my scumhunting has gotten progressively worse since I joined.

Remember 397 rach? I cracked that shit open.

[borkjerfkin]

I mean it was mostly in the dead thread, but ya know....still....

[borkjerfkin]

But I'm at the point where I feel like I wanna hydra with someone so someone can point out exactly where I'm fucking up when I erroneously clear people, which I think is my biggest problem these days.

[penguin_alien]

Thanks for the feedback, Nachomamma8! I see where I got too excited over netting the doctor protection (I figured I was up a tree WRT the director, since I'd suspected even near the end of Night Two that he was a PR) and lost the town mindset. Oh, I remember what I wanted to ask: has popcorn lynching been done to good effect in other games?

this is where i get the idea from
hasn't been used in any other games, really
i love the concept

[Kmd4390]

This game was the first I've heard of a popcorn lynch. Thought it was made up on the spot. I'd have done it if I had a scum read on penguin.
