the problem with my statements is that I suck

I hammered the most important pr, but I also almost strong armed the most important mafia according to gerrys most recent post

I was willing to bus connor since I knew who doc was and I was gonna kill impoetic next lol. Which is why i voted him.

Also you have it backwards. I was the mafia goon. Connor was the role blocker.

Town as a whole:
I gave a light opinion about what I felt town needed to do but I did not include more of it in detail. I think that this town suffered from being hard-pressed in situations but not really having much of a reason to back it up, or being blind because they were too focused on their own personal ideals. This lead to even a no lynch on D2 and by then I was start to feel doom for town. Nobody really stepped up to bring up convincing arguments and it was extremely easy for Mafia to blend in for that reason. Town needs to work on actually listening to one another and being more precise in their arguments, and not playing to deadline where everyone scrambles on a lynch for mostly vague reasons.

Mafia as a whole:

Mafia didn't do anything bad but they also didn't do anything great. I was really pissed about what connor did that one phase but I digress. This is not to give away from their individual performance but this was not necessarily a very hard game to win. Good job for pulling through, though.

lol laughs at myself

I think you should co host with someone next time you host. Especially someone who would do vote logs. I think the setup was balanced. Just very unfortunate tracker got lynched.

my town squad waS THREE/FOUR that's not bad for a two mafia game right

also retti, I feel like the EBWOP thing might have made it harder to do good vote counts. it really lengthened the thing, and I don't think editing has affecting a game negatively too bad before?

idk I get the logic behind the rule but it made the game a lot harder to follow I presume

other than that I think you did fine, I can agree with the modvote and most other decision made

a Upick would be OK but honestly, i'm not sure i plan to do forum mafia here anymore. :\

mist says

ah. the universal backups i've played with have always had the option of when they inherit a role and which role.

Impoetic did. Not including universal was a mod error.

Retti says

There were a ton of posts that happened that didn't really need to and I felt that town evidently burned themeslves out on..well, themselves.

did you mean: forum mafia games 13-15

ah. the universal backups i've played with have always had the option of when they inherit a role and which role.

Mod errors and personal reflection, and the future:
Sorry to the mafia team for messing up your actions on N1, but you two seemed to come out of it OK. I still defend my decision to give you a modvote connor and I will defend it if I had to give it again to someone else. I am also sorry that my votecounts were not frequent but do bare in mind how hard it is to keep track with the content moving at such a blistering speed. If you have any criticisms towards me please let me know, I am not perfect and I am to improve my hosting ability as much as possible. I hope everyone enjoyed the tidbit of flavor while I still had the motivation to do so.

I have an idea for another setup that is pure chaos and filled with fun restrictions and powers if people just want to have a relaxing game for the most part. It's called Upick, and basically you send me a character or thing you want to be and I make a role out of it accordingly. If people are interested in this idea please let me know because while I have tried to emphasize the more serious aspect of forum, I believe that everyone would have a great time.

i didn't even realize that weak Doctor served that purpose too gaddam

also what was impoetic talking about yesterday with the 1 pr left? was that psycho impoe or was she talking about ultraaug

also how did she even know that lol

Gerry says

I pocketed Mist. I didn't pocket you N1ed. I pushed on you a bit but you kept towntelling.

am I an idiot, I thought pocketing was getting a town to fully believe you're town in any way possible

and with impoetic dead tbh i put you right in her place

On the setup:
I gave town three PRs but mostly made it into a scenario where the roleblocker could fundamentally make two of them useless. He played as a big boon for this setup and it would've been hard had Gerry gotten lynched, but that didn't really happen. The Weak Doctor is basically a Doctor but will die if it protects Mafia, which was supposed to give incentive for scum to be more proactive. Moreover, a weak doctor also works as somewhat of an investigative, as you would know that if you saved someone and didn't die, they were likely town. This gives me pause in including the tracker more than the backup, because the backup is not an amnesiac. If the backup were roleblocked on the night that they used their action, it would be gone. It's a one-time thing that you don't get back. Overall, Setup seemed to do fine.

i forgive you, N1ed. my play was equally poor and haphazard in other areas. just be careful with the votes.

also, to be clear, did impoetic amne n1? how would that have worked with role block lol

it's fine, girl. i don't blame you. i was perfectly legitimate as a scumread there.

s/o to impoetic and ultraaug for best town plays IMO

that's my sh*t opinion though

anyway yeah I'm really sorry mist

Sorry mist I was trying to go for 'harder' mafia in you and gerry because I had connor as scum

ian's self-imposed wincon was to get towncred and i punished him for it.

Actually, I'm gonna pause my game for a moment because I have individual thoughts I wanna get out

On player activity and game speed:
Overall, the activity was never a problem rather it was the content coming out of it. I felt that a lot of the time people were stammering on about moot points or arguing with one another without being concrete about what actually they were trying to accomplish. There were a ton of posts that happened that didn't really need to and I felt that town evidently burned themeslves out on..well, themselves. Mafia had to do basically nothing aside from participate in the chaos as town was constantly suspecting and mudslinging one another, usually for mostly unknown reasons. The game simply lacked a direction or an ability to cooperate with one another, because I just saw people trying to talk over one another instead of a town trying to find who mafia is.

(Cont.)

cause i figured ian was blue based on his "IM PR" thing lol
