as did Russ lmao

Russ and Wilgy are actually the same person.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:47 pm**

Russ and Wilgy bussed teammates and nearly survived to win. Wilgos not getting killed by diiny would have made the next poll interesting with all the dumb votenanigans happening.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:50 pm**

I could never decide in this game whether my role was overpowered or underpowered. Being invincible at night is incredible, and having zero control over my own vote during the day is so awful.

I guess it's healthy balance.

It's official forever:

meta is bullshit
It netted you Bullzeye though.

And scumslips netted Floyd.
Scumslips are applicable to brand new people, but I don't want to hear about slips for players who've played Mafia for years. :P
I made one in gentlemans guide. I'd never made one before, lol.

I made a scumslip in RYM #88. (iirc only espers cared though and I got away

)

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:53 pm**

Yep Jimmy I think the idea that there are no scumslips is wrong.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 8:54 pm**

I do think, however, that most so called 'scumslips' are about things that there are obvious civvie thought processes for saying, and so really are far less likely to be scumslips. It's a poor reason for a lynch unless it's obvious.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 9:01 pm**

They should always be interrogated. They're a great way to put pressure on a potential scum's weak point

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 9:01 pm**

My favorite thing to do with "scumslips" is see which scum are making the accusation. :P

I know, wasn't it crazy? It seems the sites were better at reading folks from the opposite site this game!

Sloonei and I will be handing out shiny MVP banners/awards to TWO players.

All players have a vote! Please PM both me and Sloonei ASAP with the player you think should win each award. You should thus be submitting TWO (2) names, one civilian and one mafia.

Meanwhile, while Sloonei and I wait on receiving these PMs, we can keep talking postgame.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 9:09 pm**

You know what?

If you're a spectator reading this, feel free to vote as well! I know I said players before, but Sloonei and I will take MVP votes by both spectators and players.

What if I'm a co-host? Can I still vote?

Marsh the reason I was after your head was because I was convinced you were aware of the possibility that your Vote For Sale vote had gotten through but were ignoring it. That was the only basis for me calling you illogical. I thought you had ignored the very real possibility that me tunneling Wilgy for literally a week was attempting to send you a message that "I want Wilgy dead after the night phase you bought LVS's vote against Wilgy" but you didn't see it. So the only remaining possibilities were Mafia or SK, both allegiances I wanted dead.

I will give spectators and players to submit these votes until 7:00PM Eastern tomorrow (November 11th). The MVP announcement will occur then!

Don't feel down; you played an excellent game, Mac, and it was awesome to see you in action for the first time. I, for one, am really glad you seem to have stuck around here. Can't wait to play a game with you.

Thank you 3J. The sheer amount of effort you can squeeze into a task such as this baffles me even after having witnessed it before. I really don't know how you do it.

And I'd like to point out to k4j and FZ., who suspected me early on because I was quiet, that sometimes...just sometimes...a person stays out of the way because he has an awesome role that like, skips night kills altogether.

lol - and here i thought the dog was learning new tricks.

Also, this was true! Based on the atmosphere in the spectator chat and thread, I really thought JJJ was going to be lynched. I was gone for a while though, and then I came to the thread and saw seaside had the most votes and was like "WTF"?

I considered my own place with the LC defense, and figured defending MacDougall was the same deal, so I backed off 3J.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 10:57 pm**

Alright, first page posts are updated now. I think I've revealed everything important as well. Be sure to throw whatever questions you all still have for me at me, and definitely keep discussing the game!

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 11:07 pm**

Also, new poll! Just for fun and one last homage to RYM.

I'm signing out for the night. I'll be around tomorrow evening to answer more questions.

Posted: **Tue Nov 10, 2015 11:09 pm**

The game loses half a star because Diiny killed me!

Otherwise it was essentially perfect.

I hope all of the RYMers enjoyed this game, the behemoth that it was, and please feel free to stick around for as many games as you'd like. We have plenty of games that I am sure you all would enjoy.

We'll make sure to arrange a formal crossover again in the future as well.
I think Jay should host that one.

I agree with the newtmot.

My only complaint about that game was the amount of reading due to it's scale 4.5/5 stars from me. Game was fun loved the behind the scenes role recap that was posted really cool to see all the bts stuff.

NIGHT 5

Matt F saves the day! He redirects TheFloyd73's target from himself (unknowingly) to JJJ, who survived the NK.
Interestingly, Russtifinko is the player selected by the ACEOs for "Radio Head".

Was my protection of Jay what saved him from the redirection on this night?

No worries golden - ask anyone. I blamed LC not you. If you weren't so convinced I agreed to what LC did, you never would have did what you did. I KNOW if you thought I was civ, you wouldn't have gambled my life like that.

Also - it feels like you getting me lynched really started to break open the game. We were all important in our own way right?

Amazing game. You played incredibly well as a team and it appears likely you lost because of bad luck alone. I don't even know. All y'all rock, seriously.
I want to say I genuinely did just give up with this game, I was so lost and really struggling. I honestly tried and had every intention of following through with what you asked of me but I just couldn't cope with it and had no idea where I was. I feel like I really upset you and some others (including my own team) by giving up the way I did and I'm sorry. It was all genuine though.

You didn't upset me mate, and I'm sorry too for being aggressive about it in the heat of the moment.

Hey, I called JJ a fool for correctly identifying LC was bad!

We all say stupid things in the heat of battle sometimes. JJ is far from a fool, even if he had been wrong.
