I was actually trying to buddy Kalas to get you to vote for him.

 

Yeah, but I thought that my watch over the thread was enough to dissuade from quickhammers.

 

We coordinate in our QT and used the day timer to vote at the same time.

 

Wait, you guys had daytalk?

:/

Regarding the setup:

Yeah, it was a low powered, but balanced setup. In a game this small, masons are very strong, as it's effectively two confirmed town, with no real way for the scum team to manipulate it. Cop can't check a godfather, be shot n1 or be chain roleblocked.

The one-shot untargetable was effectively a bulletproof - unfortunately he died without claiming, as he could have been another 'near confirmed town' that scum would not want to shoot. Once the rolecop died, at least.

The rolecop mafia side was neutered by, well - there being a lack of town power roles. It was effectively there to let them use up the 1-shot untargetable if/when Fen was forced to claim. If Fen played well and drew the NK, then it was a huge boon to town.

Regarding gameplay:

Town's ultimately downfall was completely disregarding the doctor claim being scum. The combination of claiming at the last possible second, lurking hard while being 'townfirmed', the dubious selection targets, and the 'roleblocked' claim on the last day should have sent up a ton of red flags.

If the mafia had a roleblocker (and the Doc was town), why would they have killed Riley? Especially when he flips Vanilla, so you know he wasn't rolecop'd as a power role.

I can understand not wanting to lynch a power role, but too many things added up by the end of the game to not lynch him.

Fontisian played fairly well, especially early in the game. Late game behavior was a little sketchy, but by that point, Sesc/Kalas/Moridin were all probably better targets from a 'Rubicon is town' perspective.

Sesc had the scum team pegged, until he ended up talking his way out of it. Trust your instincts a bit more - Bill Door/Rubicon/Fontisian was indeed, correct!

Town MVP - Sesc (although realistically no one truly deserved this one)
Scum MVP - Fontisian

Other things:

And a huge thanks to Typhon and Prophylaxis for replacing in when it was extremely difficult to secure replacements! The game couldn't have gone on without you two, and would have been much less active/enjoyable, regardless of the outcome.

Bah, I think I'd take the most worthless town award, if you give those. Well played to both of you and apologies to Sesc are in order, I think.

 

"Prophylaxis should get the award for most useless Towny, or just flat out call him Scum!Town."

 

Thanks to all for playing, and again - huge thanks to Typhon and Prophylaxis for replacing in.

I'll have another game signup up in a week or two - after finals, I'm sure interest might be a bit higher. Will be something a little bit different, too, I think!

 

One of the huge things for me going in favor of Rubicon were those early interactions.

Aaaaargh.

I'd also also like to extend the customary "comments on my play".

 

Just going to link my last living post:

Even before I got access to observer chat, it was obvious as all hell that Fontisian was scum when she made up almost her entire accusation post there.

Honestly was baffled that nobody else seemed to notice it at the time, or upon later review. C'est la vie, eh?

 

Why didn't you claim one shot untargetable?

 

Fen: You said that you thought Castiel was town, but never tried to start a different wagon. If I were town, I would have lynched you there. I actually did misread the part about you blaming Castiel (>_>), but the rest of it was legit.

 

So, eh. I like contributed to our victory and stuff...

>_>

Eh, who am I kidding. Really well played by Rubicon and Fontisian they really did all the work.

 

My streak of never being on the winning team continues.

 

Overarching lesson, from an obs point of view: Do not modgame. Closed setup + modgaming = epic fuckup. Assuming certain roles must be present is a terrible idea.

Also, sorry if I was a little mean in the obs qt. Most of my posts were right after marathon study sessions :v

 

Yeah. What the heck, I just /won/ a game back on my own forums because the town was modgaming, and they ended up concluding one of my scumbuddies confirmed town.

I'll probably join the next game, the 72 hour day format is fairly interesting and I want to improve my game.

 

UUUUUURRRRRRGHHH. Good game scum. Way too many derps on towns end to bring a victory out of this.
