The other thing was a lot of powers that were highly visible without being highly interesting.
Taking someone's name off the pole might confirm a townie...and that's about it. Same for lynch saves. Arguably the strongest part of a soapbox, too.
Contrast things like clue cop, misdirector that are interesting to use but don't reveal townies.
Also possible to give town and scum a lynch stop or a soapbox and take the confirmedness out.
Or keep the setup from being open so you don't know if the good guys or bad guys stopped the lynch. Or go the Mass Effect route and not be sure which roles are really here. Or the Fire Emblem route and and not be sure which roles have which alignments.
Lots of ways the game could have been modified only slightly to greatly rebalance things.

Re: Mountain Mafia [END]
I think the problem with the unbusdrive was the sheer number of roles that don't target. It was like a >50% chance to be a roleblock.dunya wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2017 2:15 pm I loved Marmot's game, but I do admit there were too many strong Power Roles for Town and made it almost impossible for a scum team to win. It's hard to balance a role madness game, but sometimes you have to give weaker roles or one shot things rather than several shots to everyone (Long Con had 3 powers, Quin had 3 shots, etc), and some roles that can be negative to town to balance the numbers. Also, I found speedchuck's win stipulation a little extreme. I mean, Mesk and malakim got a win from this game (I'm assuming sig didn't and was not simply accidentally written out from the winners post although Jay included him in the PM he sent out) and speedchuck didn't. 3p role is hard, esp one with 0 abilities whatsoever. I would have personally allowed him to win for simply surviving till the end with either faction considering he has no abilities to draw him closer to his win. And speedchuck made a hell of an effort.
I consider Long Con's bus driving save night 1 legit, but Sloonei to stop any lynch, Quin to be unkillable any 3 nights he chooses, Epi to survive first kill on him lynch or NK (and the ability for Chimborazo to borrow that ability?), and me to become immune to all night kills a few too many indestructible roles and makes it probably frustrating for the scum team. Also, Everest's role to be passed down indefinitely, while it never got down to that, but I also considered that too much in Town's favor. The Day 1 no lynch in the event of a tie was also a bit town-favored. Also, this game had masons. Imagine if DDL and Daisy had found each other.
I'm happy we won, I put a lot of effort into this game but I do think the odds were stacked against scum from the get-go so shout out to the scum team for lasting as long as they did tbh.
Maybe that was intentional. Still. Felt out of place because the exception was the expected result.

Re: Mountain Mafia [END]
With no watchers (or much in the way of offensive and investigative powers in the town at all), mafia should have done the standard HCRealms double tap block+kill on the same target. Dunya's power was secret and the scum lost their but that would have killed Epi.
100% chance to stop the vest if necessary vs a 1 in however many townies are left to stop a block or doc.

Re: Mountain Mafia [END]
My reasons for suspecting you were legit and I was tinfoiling in a bad way for awhile but by EOD I was reminded of exactly this. I knew I didn't stop the lynch so the chance of you being bad was super low.
Decided not to voice this cause nobody else was on you, there was a decent chance I'd be lynched and revealed to not have stopped the lynch and....townie distancing? I'm not sure that works at all. I remember getting Wilgy killed by the opposing mafia in ME. Didn't want to do that.

Just an observation I made this game and a note about personal preference. The reason I felt confident Malakim was town was actually this post:It wasn't just that he was confused about the nightkill mechanics, but also that he got a response from the host in the thread. It suggested to me that malakim's ignorance of the nightkill mechanics was genuine and that he had no hand in carrying them out, or else Marmot wouldn't have been compelled to respond here. It's a tiny thing, but any host interaction has the potential to reveal information. This one gave me a hint about a player's role that I should not have had.Spoiler: show

Plus, I really need to go read some context around the Dom/Jimmy/Melk trains and then the Jimmy/Speed/Wilgy trains.
My biggest scumread is still Mal. Seen nothing that makes me think he's good. His actions yesterday and Jimmy's actions prior make them look w/w. That's the main thing you should take away on the off chance I die.

What I've noticed with traditional distancing is that a lot of scum like to keep their suspicious partners as "suspects."
This means if the town is hunting for 2 baddies, putting a teammate 3rd from the bottom in your rainbow. This means saying that you'll vote for a teammate or that they're the best option but ultimately not voting for them.
Why do you think Jay is not doing the later to Mal? Jimmy says he'd lynch Mal now if it was EOD but no matter how many times he was pushed, he refused to actually do so.
That screams "scumbuddies" to me.
Why was Jimmy after Mesk so hard if a townie Mal lynch would have been just as good for him?
I think you're exaggerating Jay's role in the Mesk lynch. I could be misremembering, but as I recall he was largely a follower on the bandwagon. He said more about Mesk than others, but only because we were making him talk the most. He seized the Mesk wagon because it existed. He was saving himself, not Dom.
He absolutely pushed for Mesk to die over Mal, not himself.
Quin then came in to present Mesk as a candidate. Jay seized on that, and Epi questioned him on this vote, drawing Dom as a comparable candidate and one who Jay had expressed more reasons in-thread to lynch. The argument over Dom/Mesk between Epi and Jay was about Jay's inconsistencies with regards to Mesk, rather than any alleged protection of Dom. Epi was backing him into a corner based on his Mesk vote. Jay was swinging wildly to justify voting for Mesk because that's what Epi was questioning him on and he had to say something that might seem plausible. He didn't.

Show your work.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 4:02 amI explained my suspects in way too much detail there, but I also largely ignored Jay's Day 4 ISOs because I'm viewing them as pure, unfiltered wifom. I did make the same observation as you that wilgy was the only target who he offered a definitive read on, though. I would expect Jay to want to bus a teammate or two, and I would likewise expect a teammate or two to want to bus Jay.
colonialbob's interactions fit this model best of anyone, in my opinion. They sort of hovered around one another on Days 2 & 3, without ever really delivering any criticism of one another. Jay labeled bob as "not a town read" after I came up with my initial Bob case, but that suspicion fell completely off the map afterwards. Until Day 4, when suddenly bob was apparently highly confident in Jay's badness; confident enough to attack another player (DDL) for appearing to defend Jay, but somehow not confident enough to vote for him on his own. Jay, meanwhile, offered an ISO that was far more critical of bob than he had been prior and even made one point in particular that was directly opposed to a stance he had taken earlier in the game, when presumably BaddieJimmyJay would have wanted to keep his partners out of harm's way. I could not help but sense a shift in the way each of them approached one another on Night 3/Day 4.
Sig was the low-posting suspect who Jay repeatedly named, but never pursued in any serious manner. Dom/malakim and sprityo/dunya were both players who Jay actively tried to lynch at one point or another.
I agree with much of what you have to say about wilgy, but I do not disregard the possibility that the two of them as partners conspired to maximize the distance between them in the thread. It would have been fairly elaborate, but that's not something I would put past either of them.

Re: Mountain Mafia [DAY 4]
Meh. There had been no nightkills yet. Mal's surprise is not alignment indicative imo.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 2:56 amThe surprise and unawareness of the nightkill mechanics in this game malakim displayed here appear genuine and believable to me. I think he's a townie who believed for a fleeting moment that we had a janitor in this game, or that the nightkill was carried out by Olympus Mons. If he was scum he would have been clued into their target and would presumably be aware of his team's full complement of abilities.malakim2099 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2017 3:04 am A janitor in this game. Very interesting.
Though I suspect the Martian is involved with that. Too many secrets.
Going to bed now, will poke back after some sleep.

Re: Mountain Mafia [NIGHT 4]
Okay but here's the thing. Every time someone does this you say "but Jimmy probably told his team to bus him." You're not acting like you want use to figure it out. To Bob's point, you're acting like there's nothing to see.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 12:38 amNope. It's our job as responsible townies to suss out the honest suspicions from the false ones.colonialbob wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 12:35 am Question for Sloonei: if you think JJJ told his teammates to bus him D3, doesn't every suspicion of JJJ expressed D3 instantly become worthless because it's potential bussing?
Townies can be uncertain, or wrong, or vote for mafia members not called JaggedJimmyJay. And it's possible not all of his teammates were on the bus.Second: if all his teammates were bussing him why were there so many Wilgy and Speed votes until very late in the phase?
Why wouldn't his teammates be on the bus? You talking about inactives or people who decided to vote elsewhere?
If Bob is bad with Jimmy and was told to bus Jimmy, why did he wait until we had an hour or so to go to do so?
You wanna see a cred building bus? That's Speed in Pirates bussing MP. What you're accusing Bob of and the timing of Bob's vote are entirely different.

Re: Mountain Mafia [NIGHT 4]
If you don't ignore ridiculously scummy behavior, there are well more suspects that deserve immediate lynch than there are remaining baddies. Bob is not one of them.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2017 4:12 pm I regret not pursuing colonialbob more over the last couple of days. I never heard a good argument in favor of him being town and I haven't changed my mind on him. Digging through Jay Mountain only strengthened my read. Does anybody have an argument for colonialbob to be town?
I don't particularly see Bob teamed with Jimmy.
I certainly don't see him teamed with my suspects Speedchuck and Sloonei.

Why do you disagree?Sloonei wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 3:02 amI agree. I just disagree that malakim is the likely teammate. Sig and colonialbob look like better choices to me, and I'm also open to DrWilgy.Jackofhearts2005 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 2:05 amSloonei, you may have already covered this but I have real problems with this assumption.Sloonei wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2017 2:26 pmNo hesitation in supporting Dom's lynch.

What I've noticed with traditional distancing is that a lot of scum like to keep their suspicious partners as "suspects."
This means if the town is hunting for 2 baddies, putting a teammate 3rd from the bottom in your rainbow. This means saying that you'll vote for a teammate or that they're the best option but ultimately not voting for them.
Why do you think Jay is not doing the later to Mal? Jimmy says he'd lynch Mal now if it was EOD but no matter how many times he was pushed, he refused to actually do so.
That screams "scumbuddies" to me.
Why was Jimmy after Mesk so hard if a townie Mal lynch would have been just as good for him?

Re: Mountain Mafia [NIGHT 4]
Epi's accusation was not that LC was trying to lynch him and he'd flip scum. His accusation was that LC was trying to mislynch him. Also, I use this word as a townie when talking about other people.dunya wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2017 8:23 pm I don't care what you'll all say about that "mislynch" episode, but the fact is: Epi's post was all about lynching him (sure, mislynch was implied, but even EPI who is sure of his own towniness didn't use that word....), LC responded by using "lynch" too, because LC believes Epi would be a lynching not a mislynch. If Jack really believed Epi was scum, then lynching him wouldn't be a mislynch.
... Jack has a lot of other question marks around him. ...
Quin seems town.

No, Quin seems incredibly bad. Why do you think he looks good?
