Well done Quin.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:35 pm**

I brought back Mad Max Quin. For one game only.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:36 pm**

Quin, you beautiful man

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:37 pm**

I better never hear about Quin's butthole again.

Good game, gang.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:37 pm**

Sorry to the other civs, especially DDL and Epi. I used to be with 'it', but then they changed what 'it' was. Now what I'm with isn't 'it' anymore and what's 'it' seems weird and scary.

I contemplated killing him early so I would never have to hear those words again.

That vest claim came out of nowhere and won the game. Well done, birthday boy.

Thank you to all of you. This was a fantastic game to host and spectate. Y'all were great.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:40 pm**

I almost went the whole game without using my role at all. I RB'd DF last night to guarantee the doctor's death and would've used it on Colin tonight, but I never used my role check.

It was a good game all around, it got tight at the end with basically everyone having some sort of soft-clear I had to fight but it worked out in the end. If people were around at this EoD it may not have gone the same way.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:41 pm**

Oh yeah, the vest claim happened because I suspected [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] roleblocked me the night nobody died. He made that one cryptic post and I thought if I didn't do something quick he'd ruin me.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:41 pm**

My reaction when I got home on Day 3 and saw that all the votes had changed from nova to leetic.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:42 pm**

Still have yet to win...

I kinda knew Quin's claim was fishy but still was seeing DDL as scummier. Well done.

I don't know, but I know one person who might (for now, I will leave them to handle that as they please; there are multiple possible explanations).

This was the most panic inducing post of the whole game for me.

In my mind you won the game because of your CBob vote. The cajones.

Night action chart:

DF was 3-for-3 on his doctor shots, but was overridden by a strongman night 1 and then blocked last night.
Mac used both of his shots to track people to himself.
And like Quin said, he nearly went the entire game without using his abilities at all.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:48 pm**

Mac surviving the whole game prevented me from posting this:

i know this isn't really the best time for me to say it but i really don't like bussing guys

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 9:53 pm**

One of the biggest derp moments was when I didn't roleblock Colin the night he killed nova. That was staring me in the face and I completely blanked on it.

If you watched my Shockheaded Peter game, you must understand why I was in no mood to award civilian credit just because someone voted a mafia member- even a powerful one.

If the civilians would have followed my LOGIC, the civilians would have won the game (even if it meant you dying). My enthusiasm in the late game was because I had figured it all out, and we had the lynch to spare.

The funny thing, Mac- and you tell me right now if I am wrong- is if I had gunned hard for Quin first instead of you, things would have turned out differently.

Indeed. You created hope that you summarily snuffed out.

also i was kinda mad that a no lynch option came out of nowhere and made me spend the whole day thinking I was gonna have to fight through Day 6

It felt unfair not to give the option of a No Lynch at MYLO.

no one seemed to acknowledge it though. there was no reason to, really, but I wanted to provide the option anyway.

I have to say my biggest beef in this was that, on the Day I got lynched, I laid out a solid case (that would have won the game if followed), and nobody except the people I argued should be lynched had anything to do with the thread. And nobody engaged with the list I provided of things you have to believe if you believe I am bad.

Folks, I don't write these things for no reason. I write them to ask you to consider them if you are serious about winning as a civilian. If you aren't serious about winning, fine, but don't pop in, vote for me JUST BECAUSE I'm in some vague poepool.

In the very least, do me the favor of using the Day phase to talk about what your plan is if I do indeed show up to be civilian.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:15 pm**

I thought Epi was just trying to evil genius his way out of being lynched, and I nearly fell for it. Well, I mean I should have, anyway.

I think if a host is going to add a no lynch option to a poll, it needs to be consistent throughout the whole game. Even if it never gets used.

I don't "evil genius" starting Day 4.

I start that shit Day 0.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:18 pm**

I wasn’t ever really able to do a lot of heavy lifting here. I’ve been sick to some extent for the entire thing and it was hard to get past my own (bad) initial impressions.

It really only needs to be added in a certain scenario: If there are three civilians and one mafia member. The purpose of a no lynch option is to force the mafia to narrow it down, and then make it two civilians to one mafia member.

There may be other nuanced reasons for its existence that I'm overlooking, but that's the main reason.

I see no reason for a no lynch option on Day 1 or 2 or 3.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:20 pm**

I added a no lynch at the end of Vanilla because I messed up the balance. I can see the argument in favor of either approach, but I am used to it being a sort of MYLO special. In my experience civs rarely punt anyway.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:21 pm**

We used to have a no lynch option on Day 1 on RYM and it was kind of a waste of time tbh. Every game stalled out a little from my experience when they should have hit the ground running.

Posted: **Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:24 pm**

Yeah, there’s almost always one player at MYLO who’s universally cleared (Colin in this case) so the strategic value of a no lynch is pretty much null. But, like Epi, I can’t envision another strategy where it would be theoretically viable at all, so I only feel it’s necessary at MYLO. I did hesitate on it because of the inconsistency issue though.

There's an inherent pro-civilian bias by including a no lynch option specifically when it hurts mafia the most.

Lol the hubris. You spent your entire last day trying to lynch a civilian. To say you "had figured it all out". Come on man.

I will give you that if you hadn't have wrongly attacked me and instead tried to make a case on ... not me ... then I might have been able to entertain it. Given I was a civilian, I just couldn't agree with your assertions that I was in fact not one.

That notwithstanding yes had Colin, DFaraday and DDL sided with you against me rather than me against you then there's a strong chance that Quin would have been lynched the next day. I can see that.

Sorry I pushed your mislynch.

at the very least, when I saw it, the first thing I thought was "Sloonei's taking the civilian's side". That probably wasn't true, but it was definitely a blow.

I just don't understand why, after a fresh mafia lynch, the enthusiasm in the thread took a massive shit. I mean, what the hell? Everybody should be in the thread going nuts- not "yeah, Epi is a good vote." *chews cud*
