[Game Over] Open 743 - The Crown of Misery

[MiniDeathStar]

Thank you!! I normally use the embedded vote counts as an auxiliary aid and post the main VC with the story, but I was swamped with work throughout the course of the game, and meanwhile it coincided with my visiting family abroad, so that happened. I also couldn't figure out a way to squeeze so many votecounts into the vote history post on the first page. ;-;

I should also add that gothic horror mafia flavour elements aren't my forte, I was just experimenting for a change and it's surprisingly difficult to tailor all the frigging replacements and lurkouts into a consistent, humourless, non-self-parodying story. So sorry I disappointed in that department, too.

I'm glad at least you guys enjoyed the game in

some

ways. So thanks for that, it was really nice to hear it. <3 <3 <3

You're welcome! Thanks for modding btw!

Some concerns were also raised regarding the setup's balance, so I'm probably going to make some minor changes before I decide to run it again. It will be things like switching the point value of the zombie and the immortal, and announcing chosen undead powers before the game begins. In a previous version the setup also featured two possible neutral roles, so I might bring them back around next time.

For now however, I'm preparing a proper theme game (with new mechanics and all that fun stuff) so I hope I'll see some of you there. :)

[Lamees]

Ggs. Ah, so nako and red were town. Well we fucked either way then. Auro also obvious immortal

[Lamees]

Meme on me!

Lol it's cool, we wouldnt have been able to get an auro lynch even if you did sheep me. Nako/red or their subs wouldn't have a feel for the game at this point so doubt theyd co-ordinate with us. And succinct was in his own world. And obviously we wouldnt be able to convince rb/s_s as they are his team mates.

[Something_Smart]

GG.

I'll be the first to admit we got lucky, hanging one major PR D1 and killing the other N1. (Persivul was killed not because of a PR read but because he was universally townread. I actually had a pretty strong Witch Hunter read on DVa/DarkLightA which confused me when Dunn flipped, otherwise that slot would have been the kill )

All the people needing to be replaced were annoying and hurt town cohesion as well.

Flavor and moderation were beyond excellent, of course

Whoa, just realized this. Every single VT slot was replaced at least once, and none of the town PR's or scum were replaced.

[Succinct]

Succinct your reads in particular struck me as amazing.

Thank you.
Alas.
I picked the wrong one of Lamees/Auro.

[Succinct]

I knew that Smart had to be scum as soon as he hammered, but I wouldn't have guessed that he was scum with Auro. A+ distancing!

Not particularly? They were one of the likeliest teams.

[Auro]

Lamees, Ruby Red actually just lost to scum!me in another game, I was pretty scared of her coming in and scumreading me now. Between her and Nako's replacement, you might have been successful lynching me.

She would've been my preferred kill, the reason we went Molla was that we wanted to avoid hitting the commuter, lol - and we had only rolecopped Molla and Nako by that time. I was half expecting to be called out on this, too.

[Auro]

honestly this flavour is the best thing since ever

minideathstar best mod since ever

MiniDeathStar's modding is very awesome. Flavourwriting is 11110/10 level awesome.

and her modding aesthetic is 22220/10

+1! ^_^ Thanks for the modding. Enjoyed the story.

[Auro]

hanging one major PR D1 and killing the other N1. (Persivul was killed not because of a PR read but because he was universally townread.

I did attract his cop check though so not a bad thing. I was damn sure I'd be checked, I wanted to avoid killing the cop lol

[Auro]

I think rb/ss are catchable associatives but otherwise Auro looked t/s with both of them hahah. Very impressive anti-partner play, he deepwolfed well.

The fact people who scumread him were ignored/lynched is evidence in itself of a good scumgame.

Thanks! <3

[rb]

yeah i was okay bussing auro at the end but i decided against it

funnily enough i was planning to not have to be all that active and on day2 i wanted to just mega cross-bus each other after the two investigatives died, so i could either lose it and be out of the game, or just coast on towncred until later

instead ended up having to be one of the most active players for the entire game

=|

[rb]

also yes, succinct scumreading lamees/SS/auro made the game veryhard

[Something_Smart]

I reread the scum PT and I forgot just how much we tried to bus but town wouldn't let us.

[Auro]

Egix, anything in particular that convinced you I was town late D4? You were beginning to reconsider, no?

[Something_Smart]

Oh also, Creature's meme in the dead chat is excellent.

[Auro]

The last time I played with Thor too, everyone in the dead thread kept ranting that town would never lynch Thor, even if he scumclaimed.

Oh yes I loved that meme xD

[Egix96]

Egix, anything in particular that convinced you I was town late D4? You were beginning to reconsider, no?

It was mainly the fact that DVa hadn't given you a serious scumread prior to her replace-out. I think that was the most compelling and least Wifom-y reason that you included in your "reasons why I am town" list.

I honestly have no idea how you played this game the way you did... you're like the Darren Sanders of India

[Ruby Red]

sorry for apathy, gg scum

yeah auro i was prob gonna retract my townread on you but you played well regardless

[Auro]

Ty :')

Darren Sanders.. a comedian?

[Egix96]

Ty :')

Darren Sanders.. a comedian?

Nah, I meant DS, the mafia player formerly known by that name.

[volxen]

So I think the moral of the story is, just auto lynching Auro on day one is not a bad idea, since he clearly has a >>>>>>>rand chance of rolling scum (how

DO

you end up rolling scum so much anyways?).

(please disregard this advice if Auro is hydraing with me on the Michael Scott account, however)

Auro, I think you being so hard to lynch is going to in and of itself become a scumtell for you. In a game with Auro, and getting him lynched is an impossible task? Great, that means he is scum. You're welcome.
