Silent Mafia 3: The Golden Game, Game Over

[forbiddanlight]

Wow. AWESOME vigging. Anyway, this seems to be a very difficult set up for the town. I honestly thought K-scope was cop with the double vote, as I assume he intended?

[Hoopla]

Haha, we'd have been so screwed without OGML. I think I was wrong with about every wagon I was on. Well done town!

[destructor]

This was a fun game to follow.

I've nominated OGML for the title "Silent But Deadly" in the Title Fairy thread. Maybe someone can come up with a cool title that's less of a reference to flatulence, though. lol

[OhGodMyLife]

I should probably retire from mafia after this game, I'll never top that.

Simultaneously my best performance and the most frustrating endgame ever. That should not have been a no lynch, and there should have been zero votes for Plum because she was clearly the last mason if you looked at the pattern of votes between her and Darox.

Speaking masons, sorry I shot two of you...

Did anyone else put any real effort into trying to read this game? I had a big chart tracking all the votes and alignments as they were revealed. Kscope was frickin' obvious town but I hammered him anyway because we weren't getting anywhere else with that day. Assmaster was also ridiculously obvious town, and it was

so frustrating

when everyone insisted on wagoning one or the other of those two for days on end.

This is a really cool game, but it needs more dedicated participation from town or it becomes a cakewalk for the mafia. Also, I'm not sure how useful the cop is in the setup, since there's pretty much no way for him to communicate results in a way that doesn't just get him killed.

Any chance of getting links to mafia and mason quicktopics?

Yeah, a lot of the time I just felt town were following the easy bandwagons - I tried to start one on iamausername on the basis that he had, iirc, moved from a scumwagon to a townwagon at a crucial point. But no one picked up on that and so I was forced to nightkill him instead.

Identifying the vig was a nightmare, because OGML did a good job cloaking his identity. Kison and zwet were killed out of nowhere - no one seemed to suspect them - based on that, I actually came to the conclusion that zwet was a policy vigging, which set me off on the wrong track. I think had we killed OGML earlier, we could have won this. The constant disappearance of scumbuddies was incredibly demoralising. I've neer been in a scumgroup that has been prey to a vig quite so hard - it's terrifying, because you think you're doing it all right during the day, getting the mislynches, but you wake up and there's yet another dead scum and you have no clue why they killed him, no opportunity to defend him or to bus him.

@Mafia: Why me Night 1? Was it because my name started with C?

[Primate]

I was voting the people who acted like they knew what they were doing early in the game.

[Primate]

Assmaster was also ridiculously obvious town, and it was so frustrating when everyone insisted on wagoning one or the other of those two for days on end.

I know right.

[populartajo]

OGML, well done.

QT, please?

[zwetschenwasser]

OGML killed me... This would have been my favorite game...

[OhGodMyLife]

Zwets if it makes you feel better your meta had nothing to do with my decision to shoot you, I didn't even have an inkling of who you were. I just got a "member of an informed minority" vibe from you. Unfortunately it was the pro-town version.

On the bright side, your death led me directly to both alcove and Kison.

[Zindaras]

I had an entire excel file with all the votes and vote counts (with coloured names, too). I spent two hours on that only to conclude that I should keep voting Scope (a choice I had some gut doubts on, but it was a lot better than Darox, who I thought was town). I went into the next day with Plum-Shanba as scumcalls. I really don't see much of a connection between Plum and Darox. I hypothesised that the scum were trying pretty badly to avoid voting each other. Plum and Shanba stood out there.

Funny to see I actually survived.

[Rishi]

Why did people vote for Scope? Was I being too subtle as a cop? I did place one vote on Scope but then took it off ten minutes later. That was my sign that I investigated him and he came up innocent.

Oh well. Great game, town. Amazing vigging, OGML.

[OhGodMyLife]

Zindy, I had a spreadsheet too, which was tracking votes and vote changes through time. After killing Darox and his mason flip, I immediately saw that he and Plum had basically been voting in tandem throughout much of the later game. It was really, really frustrating to have people start voting for Plum, especially skitzer who I really thought was town based on the way Erratus stuck to the charter wagon when he could have derailed it.

And Rishi, I didn't see the indication that you had an innocent on scope, but I was convinced he was town. I only ever voted him as a hammer to end a day which otherwise looked like it was going to end in a no lynch.

Darox: Shanba Assmaster Cephrir Assmaster alcove Kaleidoscope Zindaras Assmaster ortolan Assmaster iamausername Assmaster Kaleidoscope

Plum: Rishi Kieraen Kaleidoscope Cephrir Cephrir Zindaras iamausername Assmaster Kaleidoscope

Looking at this list, I agree there is some correlation. On the other hand, there were a lot of people voting Assmaster and Kaleidoscope at the time.
