Cheaters never Prevail

deletedalmost 10 years

A statement which, sadly, cannot be said in reverse.

If it isn't our favourite medical miracle, back from the grave (or not!) for round three!

So I was tipped off that these two might be cheating, and rushed to my station to take this scalp yet again.

Quite the anomaly. It's a shame so many people's decision-making turns to mush around this person, but hey. The Graveyard vision in a few games is pretty damning. And that's before you get on to the fact that they don't wrongly FoS each other on a Lylo one single time all round.

Just 3 times did Rose beat Prevail, and all of them were in games where it would be so hard for town to come back that it's better to just write them off to avoid suspicion.

Anyway, that's 3 times I've nailed her for cheating. Time to just flex and skedaddle out of here.

I've only played with Retti once or twice, but it's not hard to tell that he knows how to play. I'd say the only thing I noticed was that he didn't really take charge even if he had the right reads, but I'm guilty of being a bit more passive on that end as well.

Retti says

usually gira you'll catch me in a game with one or two circlejerker or ill join a game during your crunch time and my problem as a player is that im pressured easily and make bad judgment calls in the hot seat

your problem as a player, largely, is that you're sub-par. It's okay. It's just a game. It doesn't matter at all, in the grand scheme of things

im fairly certain im not and have always felt a need to make alt accounts to prove myself but either get bored impressing training people and never get around to competitive or get bored of mafia in general

Believe it or not winning a trophy on sex and lies is horrendously frustrating these days, because a large portion of the user base is actually incapable of understanding that mason list. Sex and Lies SHOULD be townsided theoretically, but it will never flip to townsided because it requires a lot of thinking to actually reach the point where it is townsided, and most players don't like to think too hard.

That, and it's also nowhere nearly as popular as it was. Since I've joined I've only seen it comped a handful of times and it wasn't played much any of those rounds.

Retti you are a good player who cracks under pressure and doesn't try that hard sometimes imo

how to win a trophy: be at least an average player and get lucky

that's all there is to it

alternately: if random variance isn't going your way, cheat

FoodLion, how many times have you run since then? I think running is all psychological. Round 109 was the first time I "ran" and I did great up until I started worrying about the damn trophy.

the last time i ran was like a year ago. i won like 15 games in a row before i got suspended for something and gave up

gotcha, that hardly counts though. You were only a 1/3 through the round. At least you didn't get a heartbreaking 4th only to be modded, never to run again.

i will hold a seminar on trophy-winning. 20 tokens per person

I don't think winning a trophy on something like Manhunt or Armed and Dangerous means anything at all.

I would agree with the setups Renaldo mentioned but I would include Sex and Lies which I think is a perfectly fine setup, albeit slightly townsided.

Yeah I agree with you. Coinflips are bad since you don't need to be good to get lucky. Good players have more control in the setups I mentioned.

I've never played S&L, but I've heard it's super townsided now thanks to mason lists. The setup I won a trophy on ended up having a pretty horrendous ratio by the end, but that was because I rolled town a ton and got really lucky.
