Another interesting dynamic because NMA made me explain ("logically") in the scum chat how time changes can change the outcome of games
This day is a pretty good example of this - if Nyte had been flipped immediately, Ironstove was probably going to land on div. By having more time to think (due to host delays), he ended up leaning toward me. Ironstove's a kind of back-and-forth player like that so time does make a difference
You can't feasibly expect the host to be online 24/7 (this is on @SOPHIE for not developing the mafiabot to support these features). @Nyte had to post her own role PM - that is a grievous error on her part, not mine.
Most of the things I said in the thread were true - for example I do think ironstove is a good player, he correctly identified many things I did which were indicative of me being scum. He's also dangerous to play against because he changes his mind, so he's hard to pocket - but I think it is his downfall. Too all over the place and questioning himself too much
Also for the record nyte town read me when she died. She wouldn't have said I'm a horrible player and all that otherwise - she would just say wow, mafia killed me.
Nyte basically hard scum reads all my town games and allies with me when I'm mafia. It's a pretty good indicator for my next mafia game
Div actually played fine, toward the end of the game I unblocked him. You've graduated to a real town player
SOPHIE freaked me out, I felt like every single one of his posts mentioning me outed us as partners. Original game plan was that I would die early and he would take lylo but I feel like he just has no ability to fake it as mafia
LBJ played an uncharacteristically good game, he's still a ■■■■■■ but giving him a day power to use made him actually engage with the game in a readable way (maybe his first time ever on this website)
Whomever deleted the Tywin VC post and mafiabot response I think should not be acting as a mod on the thread given that there are like 5 mods actively playing the game, it creates extra info only mods can see
Tywin also was liking, reacting etc in addition to posting while dead. In a way that influenced the game (trying to indicate I was scum while dead). If anyone deserves a game ban it is him
My entire motivation this game was to show KKat that we could play a good town game on this website (unfortunately I rolled scum)
It starts with town & scum collaborating to remove the low-posting or annoying/anti-town players. I think if we'd known the EOD time, jdance would've been lynched d1 (I wanted KKat to get to play the game). Luckily we had the night kill as a backup so could remove whomever we wanted.
I hope this inspires future mafia teams to do the same - make decisions to create good, fun games rather than easier games for mafia (by, for example, eliminating a strong active town player early. Leave those guys alive, let people start to question why they're surviving so long)
Another interesting dynamic. Usually I am ruder in these games (maybe not a good thing) but due to the game mechanics I found myself being very careful with my words because anybody I piss off could decide they'd had enough and immediately turn and shoot me. So I actually think it's a good setup, we played it basically as plain jane with an added threat that if you are antisocial enough to any two people, they might shoot you. Nice prosocial setup
Should run this one again and add a cop + doc + godfather
