Game Thread Power Rangers Mafia | The Community Park Where All the Monster Fights Happen

Man scum, you guys just gave up in the end didn't you?

It was a fun game, sorry for some of my frustration but this was my first game being town and all :).

It was still a fun game though ^_^
 

Faddy

of, having, or involving transitory whims
I almost completely skipped Bulk in my powerpoint but even reading the day 1 posts I think I would have stuck with Finster mainly because of the brackets.
 
Of course Zack was Brazil. Top notch play as usual. Congrats town! We did good :D
Thank you my dude :)

I feel like I would be stuck to that townread of Skull all the way to MyLo if Jason had voted anyone else on #101. I was too traumatized coming off of the Gorlak-FEP D1 bus from MMIV to not dive deeper into that.

Great play as always, bro.

Gotcha tho
 
I also love how it took me 5 phases to figure out who my brother was in-game, but only like two posts to figure out that Sorian had subbed in :lol

Fandorin mixed you up with me though. Saved my ass on N1.
 
You shouldn't have made that claim, Fandorin. I think you had a shot of going far if you hadn't, lol.

Good game everyone!
I’m pretty sure I would’ve lasted one more day at best, which wouldn’t have mattered anyway so I decided to just go with whatever I had.

The thought of going till Day 10 kinda got to me. No way I was lasting till then.
 
I confess I’m kinda lost with my PR. I guess I was just a glorified one shot role cop at the end. The amount of planing that I went over it’s possibilities lol.

Congrats Town!! You guys played excellently and were able to take down Scum without the use of meta, you guys should be proud.

Hope you all enjoyed the game as much as Melon and I enjoyed reading it and watching everything play out. I have more thoughts, and awards/MVPs, in a bit but a shoutout to Pedro, Cappa, Natiko, Rover, and Retro for helping out with stuff behind the scenes. And of course the wonderful Melon for being a great co-mod and carrying this game for the last few Phases because my work schedule changed. <3

Overall though what did you all think? Did not having meta help or hurt in the long run?

So...

what happened the two no kill nights anyway?

I'll post the documents so you all can see but Fandorin is correct. Scum hit Pink the Night they won and not only were they BP, their win had priority over the Kill. The other no-kill night is because DCPat is an amazing Doctor.

I confess I’m kinda lost with my PR. I guess I was just a glorified one shot role cop at the end. The amount of planing that I went over it’s possibilities lol.

To be honest the utility of your role was very swingy and ended up being less useful than we thought it would be. It was stressed in the Role PM but your role works better when used early. Not only does this give you access to things like a Gossip Shot, BP, or a Veteran but it was also a Role Cop for you guys. So if you did correctly hit a PR then you not only gained their power but also knew who they were for future schemes.

Thinking back on it maybe we should have just let you copy teammates eventhough a 6-shot Strongman is a bit much. :p

Town MVP Award: Call it collusion, call it favoritism, call it what you want but I think the overall Town MVP goes to Zack/ @Brazil . He not only played a wonderful game catching two Scum and building cases against them but he was constantly finding information, reading back into previous Days, and pestering people about clarifications on votes or other information. In a game with no meta he took the info available to him and ran with it, helping Town secure a win. Not to mention all while roleplaying as various members of the community with varying posting styles.
Runner-up: I feel like this should be mentioned but my second pick for Town MVP is Trini/ @corn93 . Corn hasn't played in a while and I think the rocky Day 1 reflects this a bit but once he got past that he thrived. While not necessarily as clear as Zack/Brazil, he still went after people and was not afraid to bring up negative reads on people who were being Town read and to push folks in that direction

Scum MVP Award: This one is a bit tricky since Scum didn't end up living very long but my personal award would go to Skull/ @Fandorin . He was in the perfect spot as Scum for a majority of the game: quiet, giving opinions here and there, and going relatively under the radar but not being negatively viewed. Unfortunately vote records turned around and helped get him in the end but until that point he was not being suspected at all.
Runner-up: Would be Zordon/ @heymonkey . While she was killed early due to a Red Check from the Cop she was able to keep up an excellent 'Town Leader' persona for much of Days 1 and 2. Playing Scum is not easy, especially when you are a big voice in a game as any slip up is used against you as she later learned with Zack/Brazil. Unfortunately the guise began to slip towards the End of Day 2 and it wasn't long after that when she got caught. Better luck next time, Monkey.

Best Detective Award: This may not be what you think it is as I want to give this award to our lovely Neutral, @Faddy /Pink Ranger. If you have not seen it already, he put together an amazing document that he used to track down his target: Fireblend. It was a hilarious read and the 'tells' he put together were amusing and effective, he ended up catching Fireblend by a single emoji in this post here. This role was honestly going to be very easy or very difficult and I'm happy to see that Faddy was able to work with what he had to find his target.

The 'I Like to Kick Scum While They're Down' Award: It's almost impossible not to give this award to two people who entirely deserve it given their excellent PR usage. On N3, after losing the Scum Strongman and going a Night with no kill, @DCPAT /Tommy protects Scum's next target while Kimberly/ @Girlofgotham goes and red checks one of their most prominent members. If that's not mean then I don't know what is.

The 'I Forgot This Was a Costume Game' Award: This one is also a dual award though one of the winners subbed out of the game. Goldar/ @Lone_Prodigy and @nin1000 /Old!Billy are the winners of this, both playing relatively similar to their normal game despite this being an opportunity to change. While not everyone guessed their identity correctly it did become obvious to some folks as they sent their guesses to me as the game ran. Better luck next time, guys.

Best Use of Gifs Award: This one should go without saying but @Android Sophia /Rita is the winner of this award. When she got her role PM she sent me a picture of a file on her computer that held dozens of Rita Repulsa gifs that she was preparing to use when the game began. She also used them excellently and to hilarious effect.

#GameChanger Award: While there were a lot of great plays here I think the victory ended in Town's lap due to one very significant person: @rac . While the wagon against him still makes me scratch my head this forced rac to use his ability to mod-confirm himself and thus shifted the wagon off of him....and onto Jason, the Scum Strongman. I think if Jason had not been lynched in such a manner, or this early, Scum would have had a much better time and may have even won the game. Losing the Strongman early hurt and those votes helped secure lynches on the other members of the Scum team. Hats off to you, rac. Without you and your power I'm not sure where Town would be right now.

'You Almost Got 'Em, Ranger' Award: Goes to @Verelios /Blue Ranger for saving his precious Veteran shot until N3 only for that to be the Night no one visited him. Maybe next time, Vere. But hey, at least you didn't kill the Cop/Doc?

And thanks again to everyone who played and helped out behind the scenes. Hope you all enjoyed it. <3

Copying teammates with status in check would have been how I would have done it. So they'd inherit the shots.

Note the creation date: I started gathering these even before I knew my role.

Should have spent the whole game playing in character. Oh well.

And most of them were Rita but I think one of the ones you posted was from train sentai :D

Great gif game Sophia.
 
I’m honored Neeks, thank you.

Staying at the sidelines is easy to me. I’m a pretty boring player so getting by till this point wasn’t anything special. I struggled a lot with playing aggressively and finding leads on other players, instead I mostly left town do the dirty work, which can only go so far.

I definitely feel like I learned a lot from my first game as scum here though. It’s clear to me that I play way better as town, but I can see a way forward for future games as mafia.

Brazil is definitely deserving of that MVP. Great game all around everyone.
 

Tommy

I am not really happy with my own play. Lots to learn

I steered away from the Jason lynch - maybe after almost no reading and I went for Alpha, but still
I didn't want to lynch Zoldar before check,
I didn't want to lynch Alpha
Only last day could've been ended up on Skull

I wasn't trying to hide in the least, I even did my :V a few times for anyone who wanted to pay attention.

.....

I have a confession to make.

......

I got bored of playing catchup.

So, I, um, I didn't read days 3 and 4 >_>
 
Congrats town!

@Tommy I hope my Day 1 play didn't make things too rough for you, since I saw people kept referencing it. I'm really glad you managed to make it to the end and win!

It was perfect! It wasn't that bad I think and it made sure I wouldn't be night killed. And somebody made a fair comment in spec thread that it's part of being a replacement and that I did not exactly showed them reason why I couldn't be scum.

Yessss :D

Yo @Fandorin nice family sweep

I still love everything about the sudden rac hyper train, even though it was clearly a mistake on my part. It’s hilarious how fast it happened.

Brazil is definitely deserving of that MVP. Great game all around everyone.
Thank you Natiko :)
 
Good game everyone, and congratulations town on your victory. I still have a long way to go as a mafia player, but playing scum for once was enlightening.

I've been meaning to ask though: how did you pick me out of the five or so players who voted for you, rac? You had me legit terrified when I thought you had used an override.
 

rac

whatever
