Shroomed Mafia. Over. Who won?

[Drez]

Thanks, in the future I'll simply resolve it myself. Sorry about that. Was trying to salvage the game, now that I see it might have been unfair. This is why I say that no one should host for a while. Also no problem, and glad you enjoyed it!

N1 -

Marigi- No action
African - Masonize: Thingyman
Reed: Rolecop Coco
Thingy: Kill: AFrican

N2 -

Marigi - Send message: Thingy
Reed: Kill: Boolerex
Thingy: Roleblock Coco
xCoco: Kill: Majora: failed

Notes: If coco didn't get blocked, scum would have won right there. Yet I feel it was better to have this Lylo so make them experience "oh **** it's our last chance guys!" and work hard to win. Sadly they didn't.

Also, Fawful had a posting restriction haha.

One tip: Sometimes, it's better to go after guarenteed scum. Reed was role cop, coco knew that she was rb'd, so they must have known. ;)

Important: I think it's important that we all do shout-outs, and have a great post-game discussion! Mafia is serious business, but that doesn't mean we can't all be friends outside game! Plus, one man did say: "As mafia when you win, always say "This is how I won..." "!!

Shout outs later.

 

[Squid Master]

GG mafia. Well done to everyone.
I would have been ore active if it wasn't for school projects :(>

 

[ReedRGale]

Ehehe, it was fun.

I'm glad everyone was on the right track with me near the end and I was getting up this morning totally ready to try to throw around some more mist and make it harder to tell, but yeah. Damn, Thingy, you are scary. I wasn't kidding about that the whole game. >_>

xCoCo, play like that as mafia and you will never be suspected into rolecopped, like wow. It was like "hello everybody where are you?"

As for the posting restriction? I kinda thought that was what the "confused vanilla townie" was about. Glad that my suspicion was right... and glad that it was useful for us in day one. ^u^

Anyway, look forward to more games with you all! Sorry for killing you all. ;)

 

[African American]

****inlwgejfpbysnwlfochsnelgifjdngpv

reed you played a meeeeean mafia game. not to say it was completely flawless (especially later on when you guys got more comfortable with the roster of players alive) but ill admit itd have taken A LOT of work for me to catch you. whether that has to do with overall lackluster town play or good scum play i guess well never know, but props as **** for fooling me.

thingy, youre a cheeky ****. my feelings about your alignment were mixed going into N1 and i knew that youd probably be the hardest read to garner, which is why i recruited you. unfortunately, D1 garnered a whole lot of nothing, and the responsibility, unfortunately, pretty much fell on me to make things happen, so i ended up showing my experience more than i wanted. obviously as a mason recruiter you wanna stay low key, but unfortunately i realized that that just couldnt happen D1. but man, if i had lived to see D2 this wouldve been QUITE interesting.

boolrex, you made yourself extremely obvious as a townie and did EXACTLY what needed to be done to rectify your slot. congratulations :)

marigi and coco, your lack of activity early is forgivable considering your experience levels, and because you guys really shined through with your towniness later on. unfortunately, you guys just got outplayed. pro-tip: it IS suspicious when a clearly expressive and more experienced player is still alive at lylo (lynch or lose). lylo is the time where you basically flush all of your reads down the toilet and reassess the state of the game to determine the absolute best course of action. in my head, lynching thingy > majoras was the right thing to do, but then again id be wrong lmao.

now...

widdle mac and majoras, i wish you couldve played this game properly and am willing to give the benefit of the doubt in regards to real life seizing your activity ability. but in reality, if you find it difficult to log on AT LEAST like two times a day to keep up with what's happening in thread and commenting on the gamestate, you shouldnt be playing the game. both of you made it really difficult to get D1 moving and your general lack of presence is really what led to your lynch. but once again, ive been in a place where irl takes control, so bygones be bygones, i hope to see you guys play a game where your activity is much better :)

squid master... this is the second time where you basically did next to nothing in thread, acting like a chicken with its head cut off. if this is your standard approach to mafia (stalling yourself because you dont have absolute answers), then unfortunately mafia just isnt a game for you. in mafia 1, you literally threw the game when you had moderate pressure at most put on you. here, you either refused to contribute or was so confused as far as what contributing IS. are you a completely new mafia player, because id understand if thats the case. but your desire to run a setup tells me that youre not, so you just confuse me. ill be willing to watch you play about one more game before i decide to strongly discourage mods from allowing you to play in games and blacklist you from my games as well. but please. play the game when you sign up for it. you played at the VEEEEERY beginning of mafia 1 and i havent seen you play since. you dont have to necessarily be GOOD quite yet, you just... have to try.

ran, a masonizer that can recruit an unlimited amount of townies is pretty strong in and of itself. but making it so that recruiting scum results in an "action fail, and you cant recruit anymore" and not a death is pretty insane cuz it basically makes me a buff cop. except even STRONGER than that because ill have the ability to distinguish whether i recruited scum or i was rb'd. also, this was said before but allowing town to decide the fate of that slot was a BAD move. it forces scum to, in thread, make a move they either dont actually want (the option that lets the townie live longer) or be exposed saying they wanna modkill em right ***** off. it takes away from the game, and its not your fault there wasnt much going on. im glad the slot was replaced in the end, but thats just not the right way to go about resolving that issue.

 

[Drez]

Yeah man on that one I was adapting. I'll keep that in mind next time. It's probably better and safer if I just use masons.

 

[ReedRGale]

@African American Yeah, I just play as a mafia as I would a town as far as I can tell--I wasn't lying when I said I was rather new. Here, it was that you were super experienced so in the day I was like "wow, this guys knows what he's doing!!!" At night it was "this guy gotta go."

 

[xCoCo]

Haha well tbh I can't be angry Majoras is kinda dead so. Good game.

I'm glad one of my my guesses were right. I think town would have been better if some of us were active.

 

[African American]

yea thats pretty much my thought process too. good job man.

 

[xCoCo]

Also I'm learning so any critique could be helpful.

 

[Thingyman]

You managed to clear yourself and after getting a slight push on Day 1 you became active, so you've got a lot of the bases covered.

I guess from here on out it's just a matter of becoming increasingly better at being able to pinpoint what is actually scummy behavior and what isn't. And really, you just need experience for that, so it'll come :P

The struggle to find scum is real

 

[Boolerex]

Heh,expected that day to last a bit more but heh gg to mafia, I knew that you were mafia right after being killed thingyman, too bad I was too dead to say anything about it

Edit: Also while it was my very first time playing forum mafia, I got some expérence from similar game like Trouble in terrorist town (a popular gmod gamemode) and town of salem (which is actually very similar to it). Guess that showed in my play heh

 

[Marigi174]

Dang @Thingyman you're a VICIOUS mafia. I had a hunch at the start of day 3 and then I kinda forgot about that hunch later on. I could learn a lot from you XD

@Boolerex you weren't in the game for long, but in your small number of posts I could tell you were a complete natural... in the town role at least XD IDK how good you'd be at mafia as I've never seen you play as mafia XD Good on you :D

@Squid Master PLEASE ACTUALLY PLAY NEXT TIME!!!!

@xCoCo Nice play all the way through.

I was a little thrown-off by the mailman position as this is my second major game XD I'm still not 100% certain as to how to optimally use that position ;;;; Still, I feel like I was much more confident later in the game (I was extremely unconfident early on in the game, which is why I was reluctant to post (that and I was reluctant to read 3-4 pages of stuff XD) and I feel that I'll probably be better and more useful next time I play XD. It'd certainly be fun to play as mafia, as I have a hunch that I'd be pretty good in the role once I get my town game completely down, and I'm looking forward to completely solidifying my playstyle :)

 

[Marigi174]

Also, @Drez I liked the theme, and I found it cool how much thought you put into even the designs of your role PMs. However, while it was certainly creative, I don't feel like having a lot of the main antagonists of the series as townies and then Peach of all people as mafia was a good choice, as it just makes it a little confusing from a thematic standpoint. It'd make sense if it was Bowser and Dimentio as the mafia, Peach as a powerful townie and all of the "antagonistic townies" retaining their townie position, but I just find it a little confusing looking back on it from a thematic standpoint. Great game nonetheless ;P

I might mod either the next game or the game after it, as I have a few themes in mind myself...

 

[ReedRGale]

i dunno i personally liked having an evil peach on my side

 

[African American]

for the less experienced players thst are interested in hosting a mafia game, i suggest you look up either very balanced open setups to host a game (they usually ALWAYS work as a good setup), or if youd like to customize your own and think about how youd like to assign PR's, id advise going through some of the more experienced mafia players that know how to balance a setup well.
