YAY! We WIN!

Also, RPG, can't believe that every frickin day, you kept laying into me, and each day, I narrowly escaped being killed. It was awesome. I was sure that the day after we killed Sifright, we'd go after me. Instead, we let the town go and kill IC.

Super excited.

Good Game everyone!

Well, I kind of gave up trying to defend myself as I didn't think any one would believe me if i said i was the town doctor, but hey yay me saving karesh

Why wouldn't they?
If you claim Town Doctor, either the claim is countered or it isn't.

If the claim is countered: Only a scummate would counter the claim and pretend he was Doctor. Sure, you'd still be lynched, but the minute you'd flip you'd guarantee Scum died the following day.

If the claim is un-countered: Why wouldn't Town believe that you're Doctor, if no one counters your claim? Town would have to be pretty foolish to do that.

It's funny how NPF appears to play Mafia differently than we play Mafia in my native environs because where I'm from, if you're a Townie you try to force claims all the time to see if you can catch Scum stumbling or prevent your Townmates from lynching a unique Town Power role.
Ironically, the one person who really relied on a similarly cohesive strategy was Fenris, and when he was doing so he was lying to get Town to support a lynch of their own. And RPGDemon in response, although by that point his own efforts felt like self-preservation of the accused.

basically, I felt that if i revealed my role it would be viewed as me attempting to falsify a role to save my own ass, whether rightly or wrongly. Also at that point it wouldn't have mattered as i think the Mafia players would have forced a lynch on me regardless and having the night to remove another player shift the balance of power enough to ensure a victory either way. I suppose if I thought about it a bit more throughly I should have revealed the roll either way.

Eh, I'm of the opinion that anyone who keeps their vote on a claimed Doctor would look horrifyingly bad once the Doctor flipped, particularly if the Doc claim had not been countered.

Your present PM said I could only use it the night after I recieved it. That night corresponded to the time when my internet was down and I was totally inactive. Don't know when else I was supposed to use my present.

And if I used it would have only helped the mafia more because I was originally planning to target fenris, see he was mafia and then think he was town because inventors are always false inventors.

Mostly I lost interest pretty massively which is why I stopped really posting. Not enough town posting. Not enough shit to pick over in night texts. Meh.

Ha ha holy shit

Ugh. Really disappointing that we had some townies w/ powers that either didn't act on the powers they were given or just plain weren't active enough to use them. Not saying that alone is what killed us (some lunch choices were made with not much thought behind them imho) but damn, the information that could have been gained would have been real helpful in at least getting one scum role and giving the town a lead we could actually work with.

Professor Smarmiarty · 08-16-2011, 08:22 AM

The fact that killed us was that none of the town(including me) was that pretty much all the town (including me) was inactive for long stretches and not really playing properly and a few mafia players were, which is all you need. Like I normally read posts throughouly and multiple times and analyse voting patterns and shit but I didn't do that this time at all and nobody else did either. I didn't even read the role fernis was claiming. Urk.

I also totalyl didn't want to get lynched first day. I don't know the fuck that happened.

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche · 08-16-2011, 09:06 AM

Fuck!

The whole reason I never voted RPG and just ended it was that I actually suspected Fenris.
I just never got around to actually coming up with a concrete reason why that anyone would buy. Had i voted for him it would have basically been:

"Vote: Fenris. Not sure why, not sure why not. Just really feels good."
