I mean, it's true. Scum had no chance here, just like Town had no chance in DR2, and Town had no chance in Star Trek, and Scum had no chance in EZA, and Town had no chance in LiS.
The only balanced games I've ran have been minis or other ones not designed by me.
I may be overreacting a bit, it's just disheartening to see almost all of my games end up in wild sweeps like this for one side. I'm not sure what to do about it.
Nier 1 was a steam roll by scum and I will forever maintain that game was balanced aside from a few tweaks. It's super unpredictable to see how games go and while I'll say my most balanced was probably mystery mafia??? (Even then scum got a bit steam rolled lol), as Geno said as long as the game is fun for everyone it should be all good.
Let's make fun games and balance where we can, but sometimes steam rolls happen. <3
Though I will say I appreciate EC's self reflection here. It IS hard to stay interested in some of the more sustained games, especially when they start to fall apart, and I think it's good to recognize what you prefer and what you don't and I support that!
But I'm also gonna say that a way to fight that boredom in games is to try to work together with folks. :/
yeahhhhhh I tried a few times in the thread while I was spiraling trying to figure out who to vote, only for no one to actually post. That was possibly for the best as my own gut is what lead me to settle on wee lol, but it's hard to do anything when you try and spark conversation if no one else will respond lol.
Loki locked onto that championship belt!
lol you guys had way too much faith in me.
Jokes on you. i got spooked when Fanto first asked me to replace in for OJ (wee got there first which denied me being same team with Ephi :< but to be fair I was not in the right place when that happened lol). Anyways after that happened, i kept up with the thread, so I knew exactly what i was walking into which is why I posted my reads list based purely on what i remembered of the thread when i got there LOL.
Curse you weeeeeee not killing me for the memes lol. Also LP saying I could be sheeping his reads when it was my genuine takes was LOL.
Aw, I've actually never saw Loki play so this will be fun. I don't know what kind of voice she typically is in a game but good luck to her lol I hope she can shake something up here. I would love to know what Wee is making of all this lol I wonder who they're going to kill
LOL I'm sorry you saw this performance because it was not my best work. It worked out for sure and 100% redeemed me for the >> other time I replaced into a Mafia game at end game, << but still wasn't my best work.
Too date my best work was in my lover/illuminati chats in Steven Universe/HvV2 or Scooby Doo lol
Leaving LP alive with Loki is risky imo. If those two get on the right page together the game is over.
Spoiler: It was not. You guys completely underestimated me coming to massively town read Kopite and settle on wee lol.
Loki came in at the second tap with fire and vengeance. She's taking no names, Wee gotta watch out.
How Loki's entrance feels so far:
Very solid opening reads list, looking forward to seeing how the day plays out.
I think the gambit was decent because the way in which you pre-planned it gave you the conviction of someone who rolled that role at game start and didn't smell like a scum fake claim.
By the time of the mass claim, most of the room credibly believed you were a miller and were unlikely to push you that day phase. At this point, I think you were better served acting like a soft-cleared player and working with the other clears (e.g the masons) to try to flip the remaining scum. Your full reveal seemed a bit reactionary to light suspicion that you were hiding behind your role claim, as town you didn't need your role claim to carry you because you don't need to guarantee your survival to end game.
So IMO the play itself was fine (risky, but produced a different outcome than straight honesty) and the main thing to improve would be cooperation after you have secured individual safety.
:I I literally said I had no idea who to vote except for the two obvious ones i wasn't voting LOL I'm laughing at how much faith you guys had in me when I was saying to Fanto
"Time to make up for Stardew... .-." and spiraling because I wasn't getting any solid leads on who to vote lol.
I expect Loki to chase it up when she looks into the thread again though
Spoiler I did not XD I focused on the video lol.
Lol that junkyard dog dancing video.
Wee may actually be town
Okay to be fair brain was convinced by this random flavor thing, but gut was not, so at least gut won out in the end.
Mind you only reason that happened was i didn't listen to my gut in Stardew and clearly my gut is the best scum reader i have LOL.
Where's the vote loki?! Loki, where's the vote?!
I was getting to it D:< and probably asleep lol. Honestly i need to stop forcing myself to post, scum hunt and vote, and just read some stuff and go to bed like I did here.
I dreamed in Stardew Reki was scum and didn't listen to it. What helped me here was reading wee and Kopite going to bed and realizing that despite everything I believed Kopite more and didn't trust wee at all. LOL BUT EVEN then i had doubt.
Yeah, that's a good point. If she didn't kill Jman or they didn't replace in with loki and Faddy who were on point, then she was getting into f3 free.
Killing jman (and going for the smarter choice of killing me ;D ) really helped my game lol. I was very convinced he was town but also massively convinced he wasn't and I would have debated that massively most of the day phase and might have not go for wee lol.
