First time. Also, no one wanted me to do that scum move I did that got me lynched, "the reveal". But that just told me it had to be done for show, at least haha.

Thanks for the compliment, that means a lot to hear from a veteran. I am aiming for "most wildcard new blood player" award.

wowow

incredible outing as a first timer player. much respect. you really did put on a show, lol : D definitely will look forward to your future games as a mafia player, spottie ^ ___ ^
 
When you said I deserved a reward, it's when I felt the true rush only this game brings, haha.

Also, Ohyeah referring back to my list is some crazy shit. Most moved on from it because they realize it's pointless, but the fact someone is trying to bring it back has me legit surprised.
 
:o turmoil joined the land of the dead?

Looks like I really need to catch back up. I got out of reading the game around the time I got invested in Cluedo.

You expected me to reach the late game? lol

:eek: what was the mechanish to be recruited if not the egg?

So I got the feeling that now Apollo is scum? Or I am incrediblely bad at this game.

I was spoiled on two of the scum, I’m guessing it’s 4+1 so if I had to guess the final scum I don’t know right now I’d peg it as Kray or Salva.

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Yes, so scum went with a no kill on n3? Or you can't nk and doom the same night?
 

ynnny

SPIDER
Delayed Kill (DOOM) was supposed to have an effect on the Even/Odd mechanic. Say you DOOM someone on N1 and claimed Town RB/Doc/whatever, and grab town brownie points since there is no kill in the ensuing Day Phase. BUT! Your actual kill goes through next phase so Maf isn't robbed of the numbers of their NKs per night.

It was supposed to be a strategic ability.
 

rac

whatever
instead it sowed chaos in my mind

you don't understand how often i was thinking about why the hell *splinter died that night
 

rac

whatever
but thanks for pointing that out spider, i wouldve never came up with that at all

im so baddd :(

Likely he was drunk all the game night lol

What table with votes? I think I missed it
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Oh the spreadsheet, yes yes

I was thinking on the kind of table you have your meals on o_o
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Ohyeah's obsession with Brazil amazes me lol

If both are town and kill each other I swear ...

Slan better is in this game, I want to read that role PM lol (methinks she is the recruiter). So we have the framer, swiss knife Void, the recruiter, whatever sickening power Femto has now, and what power could the last scum had got?

Hmmm

I think town has a chance at pulling this out. Hopefully they don’t overlook some of the scummy behavior from previous days.
 

turmoil7

Gamerunners told me above that
zipped was recruited + other 3 before your death
 
Just when I was enjoying this game... there is so much I wanted to do today. Brazil is town, he softed even night passive ability a few phases ago... It adds up with mine.

I was legit sure to not be killed. Still enough doubt on me - people were just starting to let go off the "could be scum" talk and no one town read me.
That last fucked up vote on rac isn't alignment indicative. (I hate using the colours btw. .. with Highlight Tags that vote would be in time)

I expected Zipped or Apollo to die. That lynch against rac out of nowhere made me townread him hard.

Kalor is 110% scum.

The others I don't know. Kaz would be my next choice probably.

SPIDER
your posts at the beginning of the day was hilarious, gorlakie


scum got lucky you didnt activate your bp, tbh
 

ynnny

SPIDER
awwww

at least people appreciate your spreadsheet (see posts above)

also you are highest poster.... i think! well done on carrying the torch even when the going is slow and morale is dubious on D5! you are a great hero \o/

the game is close, i still think scum has performed incredibly well on the earlier phases but town seems to slowly but solidly come together now
 
But I always do spreadsheet. That''s not townie :(

Yah, somebody had to put in work yesterday and I didn't want to be a part of a bad town. I'm bad at scum hunting and very indecisive as town. So all I could do was prompt everyone to post and give stances, so we can look back at sth the next day.

We got very lucky with the rac lynch imo - did Zipped know rac was scum? Him taking credit for it is suspicious.
 

ynnny

SPIDER
was a toss up between you and the switcher

they chose you cuz you were HELPFUL TOWN and that you were ON TO THEM
 

rac

whatever
"did zipped know rac was scum?"

haha... ha

maybe it wouldve been better for scum to lay it all out on d5
 

rac

whatever
i actually screwed up major on my way out, i feel really bad how i handled that

i shouldve called kalor out on his votes, i think

i really need to watch videos on how to play mafia
not a good town, and not a good scum... sigh
 

ynnny

SPIDER
that was your first time as scum, rac! i think you did super well! i can sense your nervousnesssssssssssss....... and despite that, you were under the radar for a long time!

im sure you'll level up and up and up with more game time :>
 

rac

whatever
i think this was a really good learning experience for me to be honest
i just hope i can apply that to future games
and i definitely need to learn how to post more

edit: there was definitely a lot of things that you can notice and not say anything about since you know who your team is already
 

rac

whatever
thanks spider :)

edit: also for future games everyone should notice how many drunken posts im making, when im scum there will be way less
 

ynnny

SPIDER
<3 rac

and yeah i think playing scum is difficult cuz you double-triple-quadruple-guessed how do you think you are sounding like to the rest of the players hahaha

must be nerve-wrecking :D
 

rac

whatever
so nerve-wrecking, see post above about drunk posting

i basically had to limit myself in that regard :D

*makes notes quietly on rac's playstyle*

DRUNK = TOWN

....but wait. is rac playing 5th dimensional chess and actually WANTS me to believe that ????????

That's quite a good claim by Kalor. Looks like the town counterpart to rac.

OTOH it's yet another cop and yet more protection... will town buy it?

[Berserk mafia].......Dolan: everyone was bulletproof

Rac wth did scum kill me? I can think of 5 more useful townies at least to target.

I don't think you have other rolecop... OR DO YOU
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
I am not liking brazil, if I were bp I would make a huge target out of myself to try to attract scum instead of hiding in the shadows.
 

Splinter

Lord of Volcano Island
Hiding in the shadows is one way to get scum to target you, just look how much attention I got :p

Leading the game (like Terra for example) is generally more effective I admit. Easier said than done though.

people were suggesting who to kill and i said you

sorry :(
 

rac

whatever
it was basically "who do we kill?"

"how about turmoil"

"turmoil is a really good kill"

i don't think all the people claiming helped you at all
 

rac

whatever
well i was also convinced something crazy happened last night and someone else got doomed somehow, and i was sure it wasn't you


turned out it was no one
 

turmoil7

Imperial Corps Commander Who Cheers the Army
Well at least I hindered scum a little with the nk and you wasted all your powers on dead man splinter, so I wish scum to have nothing more than the legit and fake town claims now.

and i would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for these meddling new players
 
I've read all of the spec chat.

The newcomers fit in really well and will do fine in the future, I liked playing with all of you :)

Timezone was meh for me, would've liked to stay around during D1 or D3. But what can you do.

The egg talk was pretty much noise and annoying.

My biggest problem set-up wise is advertising as "non-bastard" (I even rechecked with spider) and in the end we were not able to trust a cop check, that's why I had such a hard time with Geno even though his standpoint made sense to a certain degree... I was coming around with him, but this wasn't supposed to be bastard.
How else will you define bastard if not by "we could be lying about PR results".
 
@Terraforce - I only came at you because I sometimes like to antagonize a strong player early game, usually offers people to lean one way or the other and can be helpful in retrospec. Also people townreading you for being a vocal player always rubs me the wrong way - would you have done anything differently if you started as scum? I'd bet no.

That nonsense with Salva didn't bother me. You and Geno having a relation from somewhere else did however. It felt like you were trusting each other way too much.
 
@Geno - Targeting Terra wasn't the best choice, but that happens. The attitude was your bigger problem. Even after seeing you were wrong, you kept a certain arrogance instead of trying to help town figure stuff out. At the very end you tried, but it was too late ;o

Still looking forward to play with you in the future
 
How the hell was Geno the one lynched?! What a shit show lol
Please. If you are in the game, you have absolutely no clue. We lynched the most vocal town player because of a false red check. The responsible player then went on to pull a gambit in order to save himself. How could you remotely trust someone like this? This decision was nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be here.
CS claim wasn't perfect, but still not totally unbelievable if you know nothing about the setup but your own role and a few flips.
 
@Splinter
What was going on with you? I knew you'd put way more effort into the game as scum and weren't just coasting... I was expecting much more help :(
 
Looks like being pro active gets you killed... I'll keep that in mind for the next time and don't get myself killed with a bp shot left :( Feels so bad.

Why was Griffith cut from CS flip?

Going from CS comment ohyeah is definitely town... I.. I wish he'd be a bit more helpful throughout the days especially the early phases :(
 
@rac
Wasn't splinter a vengeful lynch person/hunter type? Why would you block him N2? He wasn't close to being lynched or anything especially after Terra's flip?

And you did good! While I dislike coasting for that exact reason, you were a null to me. And dead town townreading you was a plus for you. I had nothing for or against you and am still surprised you got lynched.

I had no more information than you - I’ve never seen the design of this game and nothing had been spoiled for me at the point in which I figured CS was scum. His claim in a vacuum was fine, but when compared against the other roles out in the open made little sense. Then when you take into account Apollo’s reveal about his attempt to kill CS failing and try to consider what Geno would have gained as scum to go with a fake claim like that just to get one player lynched it just was surprising to me to see it so close, let alone ultimately Geno being lynched. Obviously scum had a role in that happening. I’ve had my share of bad reads and pushed mislynches without considering the game as a whole before though. Not like I was saying I’m immune to a tunnel or anything. It happens, heat of the moment and what not. I meant no offense.

the investigate only gave his flavor name or w/e
so all i knew was he was rickert

as far as coasting goes i was going into the game wanting to be a better townie until i got scum and decided to just be me, which turned out to be a bad thing this game i guess

and i was struggling with how to react to my teammates, i basically have no interactions with any of them

SPIDER
Framer isn't bastard. It was used in Archer, too, and that game was certainly not advertised as Bastard. It just hit the perfect player in this game. Even Terra suspected Framer ability immediately in-game, knowing the set up is not bastard. Someone who has played a few games would have been able to deduct this as Terra did, too bad he wasn't really listened to, I guess.

Bastard game would involve roles that affect flips. Not roles that affect inves e.g. Godfather, Framer, Miller, etc.

Griffith is not cut from CS or rac's role PMs. That's their whole role PMs. If town had nailed the scum recruiter, it will show Griffith there.
 

ynnny

SPIDER
I half wish I'd played in this one but I'm possibly thinking spectating was better!
i think you'd do wonderfully in this game, kikimon

it's quite a puzzle solving set up :> and some players seem to like more puzzle solving and some others, more the social/players reading scumhunting aspects. most mafia games are both, of course. but berserk was designed with a slant towards the figuring out the puzzle aspect :>

I don't know about brazil's vote on kalor, it's not like if there is a better choice anyways.

Breaking the tie is an argument that can be used against anyone, in fact I was going to vote for cs before my last f5 showed Kalor's vote

Regarding the bp, I thought he lied as a attempt to protect himself from scum. OTOH, if true, it would make him more powerful than rac, but against it scum has more info so I just overlooked it.

Well, now Kalor has a lot of small stuff going against him, let's see how it goes.

Not like I was saying I’m immune to a tunnel or anything. It happens, heat of the moment and what not. I meant no offense.

I still don't think it was obvious. Geno may have had no reasonable motive as scum to off Terra, but they had history and you never know how important sth. like that could be. And it wouldn't be the first time for unreasonable moves in a game of mafia in our community...

Furthermore he shot himself in the foot with the gambit (yes, even though it did reveal scum), that just looked like outing another PR as in taking down as much as possible while being alive.

CS claim was how exactly bad? One can critisize the immediate need to claim at all. Taking 30 minutes to give "boatmaster" as description may be another hint.
Apart from that? Day action was possible and lead people to believe him even.

There were two sides with unreasonable moves and motives to claim. CS was in no need to claim as scum, why couldn't it be over nervous town?

Apollo came forward and pegged the egg into in a longshot theory to make several person scum.

And a false red check will most likely lead to the death of the claimed cop, no matter what else is happening.

Thanks for the snark ynnny.

The cop got a red check. Thus the check got lynched. Terra had meta to assess Geno better than everyone else. You can't expect the rest to still believe Geno. It's not on the players that your game design was setting exact these proceedings up.
 

ynnny

SPIDER
I wasn't snarking tho :(

And no, of course, a red check from a cop is worthwhile following. I wasn't expecting otherwise. I was just impressed at Terra's play. I just meant that the design and that element is not a Bastard element.
 
Mhm, any chance we could write down what roles can be expected in a normal game in general?

Furthermore I was looking up for some advice on how to be a good townie while playing and I think, it would be cool if we gathered a few ideas/links/self-written paragraphs at a specific place.

To give an example: TL Forum Mafia General Guide
Of course while not everything is super helpful, they do have some very good points.
