The Syndicate

Would have made it too, if Daisy hadn't ganged up on me to save dunya

Not that I blame her

Can someone start hosting Burglaries? Preferably in the very early am Australia time. Thanks

Dunya: I dont like being mafia
Dunya: I wish I was killed already
Speed: vote dunya
Dunya and daisy: wtf

Gg though, had me tinfoiling too much to be helpful

This hockey game is bullshit too. Everything is bullshit.

Good game baddies though. Amazing come-back.

Haha that would be such a shit way to lose

I thought the mafia team was done. Mac lynched Day 1. Jack caught Night 1. That's half the team.

Hello ladies.

Yeah not to mention the civilians have been smashing mafia lately. It seemed like more of that. Dunya and Elo just refused to give in.

After Mac got lynched, I felt guilty. After Jack got red peeked, I felt guiltier.

Lol.

I really don't like being mafia on here. I don't know if I've stressed this enough. It takes a lot out of me to lie to people I love and sometimes frustrate them. I hate doing that intentionally.

Thanks for hosting, Epi. Very cool set up. The game was challenging and seriously fun and I feel like it could have swung both ways. I mean, me and Eloh had given up several times in the scum chat and just said we'd have fun till we got lynched, that's all we could do with Mata's watches looming over us and juliets not dropping it. I was >this< close to throwing my towel in the other day before I came up with that fake role claim lol.

How... how HOW did you guys end up lynching LONGCON?


Now I know why I was lynched, that shit would not have flown with me at all. LC was clearly town. And I didn't even read endgame, I saw the poll and knew immediately dunya was bad because civ dunya would never have voted for LC in that situation.

Also I wished I was still alive so I could tell you I had been blocked. But I hadn't been sure until the night I died.

Me in private chat: dont we think a doc is a bit ridiculous with a jail keeper and bodyguard?

Yeah probably.

*does nothing*

Should have stayed on Eloh or dunya, but dang dunya's got that emotional manipulation down. I wanted to town read her so bad for the way she started waffling on me at the end.

Yeah dunya's AtE is next level.

I sort of feel like I started that. He wasn't around, and I'm prone to thinking the quietest person is scum.

My reaction to dunya moaning about not wanting to be wrong about luna again

Literally who the fuck cares about that in lylo.

I wanted to set them both on fire when the constant defenses based on nothing persisted into MyLo. But I was dead. That's why I was dead. Good game.

I genuinely felt bad about Luna. Eloh suggested we could lynch LC instead and I agreed, cos I'd feel less bad about lynching LC at endgame than Luna. Plus it would be funny. And it kinda was funny, sorry LC.

I'm sorry I stressed you, Luna. I genuinely felt bad you were defending yourself all day.

I'm surprised I lost from Long Con getting lynched instead of myself getting lynched. And thanks, I was feeling left out from your earlier massive apology post earlier. It seems being scum takes a toll on you.

Yeah. I'm officially retiring from Mafia for 2019 at least.

This game was fun, but I had just as much fun following after I died. The new style of playing is also fun, but now it’s time for me to point out one thing about old skill playing:

When a person is killed and they are revealed to be a watcher, read! My role specifically says I get the name of anyone who targets my target.
Dunya claimed that she did not target Nutella on night one and she did not target Nova on night 4. I made a case against Dunya, on day 5, a crap one, admittedly, but I was quite adamant about it. After I was killed, didn’t anyone other than Juliet’s get it? I had her name as targeting someone, I had her in my red list, anyone? How could she not target someone but I had a pic of her targeting someone?

And Elo! Oh my word, she said she did not use her power all game. Then how did I get a picture of her using her power?

It’s true that I suspected her before I got her picture targeting JJJ, but either way, I had her in my red list right before I was killed.

Old Skool doesn’t ignore evidence, and someone should have called out their claims of not using their powers. Omg I was half laughing, half screaming at my phone all end game!

I was watching people saying ‘don’t vote me it’s not fair’, and watching people say ‘ok maybe I wont’. I’m like wth???? How do people play this game without using info?

But other than that, I like the new stuff a lot!
Congrats Y’all were slick!

Stop feeling bad dunya lol. You played to win, and you played a great game.

I'm sure they'd have done the same to you in that situation.

Here's what you should be doing

At least I got to be scum with [mention]MacDougall[/mention] for the first time since we both started playing mafia 8-9 years ago. Too bad it lasted a day and a half before I lynched him.

novaselinenever wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 9:44 pm Here's what you should be doing

I love him!

[mention]Matahari[/mention] - just like Gossip Girl, you were amazing and lethal. Your little paragraphs against me and Eloh shook us in our boots way more than Jay's ISOs (sorry JJJ lol). I told my team you were dangerous from Day 1, but there were always bigger fish to fry lol. I wish we'd killed you sooner cos I knew we were fucked after those red reads of yours. What was that post about where you were moving me to pink?

The MacDougall lynch was accidental. I was in too deep when they all decided on him instead of nutella and I couldn't justify having a last minute change of heart. I do feel bad about it, and will reassess my distancing methods for future games in 2020.

Trust me, a number of us brought it up. And it should have been enough in that ridiculous nonsense of a MyLo. You did your job. Something to consider moving forward though -- if you have conclusive evidence, call it 100% instead of 80.

dunya wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 9:47 pmYour little paragraphs against me and Eloh shook us in our boots way more than Jay's ISOs (sorry JJJ lol).

Very necessary comparison.

BTW [mention]Matahari[/mention], Eloh never used her power. She made the kill on the night you watched her.

[mention]dunya[/mention] you said something that sounded like you were hinting at having the role that sounded like Elo’s role that she eventually claimed. I made you a lighter Red temporarily while I tried to do the math. But I couldn’t take you out of my POS list. POS= percentage of sureness.
You are a fast talker when you’re bad. I’ll remember that next game!

Also if you are in a game where role claiming is allowed, just let it all out instead of trying to make it look like a normal case.

Like, my whole argument with juliets was because I thought you would have been more obvious if you actually caught a baddie.

And if you catch two baddies, the game might as well be over. Go ahead and win it.

Indeed, in a game with legal claims -- just say "I watched dunya targeting nova". No need to conceal the juicy bits in a setup like this.

Regardless, you were concerned Matahari that you might not "fit" with the present style of Mafia played here. Clearly you did, and did very well. No doubt it my mind about that.

Ahhh. Not sure what that was. I wasn't even sure what I WAS going to claim. At first, I was going to claim jailkeeper of some kind (it would explain the block). The fact that Jay was saved on N2 and then also came in and said his action failed was like a lifesaver. We knew there was a jailkeeper. Then I started thinking how people would react to a town blocker. The fact I'd blocked townies would have looked bad so I couldn't do it. The doctor was just random bullshit, a final hail mary. I do hate roleclaiming (you can check all my games, I don't like it), so that much was true.

Hope you enjoyed this game a little more than Gossip Girl since you had a very active role

The problem with that is I didn’t know all the roles. There could have been a role that switches peoples targets. I literally was thinking about My Old School, ‘California tumbles into the sea’, maybe the ground shifts and all targets move. I overthink things.
Plus, like Dunya, I’m not too keen on role claiming unless I’m about to be lynched. It takes some of the mystery out of the game, you know? So I left both Dunya and Elo at 80% or more red. Next time, I’ll try to play your way and just assertively put it out there.

Dude you won the game it's fine. I got a free win on the leaderboard and didn't have to play scum to endgame which takes years off my life every time. Thank you.

It’s just strange to me that no one looked at my role and thought “Elo must be lying”. I was going crazy when she claimed that lol!

I think the problem was that you had consistently suspected her, and the suspicion grew kind of organically. It was hard to pinpoint when it developed and if it was a cause of your role.

And to be fair, juliets was dying to get Eloh and/or me lynched as soon as you flipped watcher for town (something we weren't expecting at all).

The way I see a game may or may not allow role claiming.

The next two games I'm gonna host (both of which should be soon) will not allow it. Maybe sign up to them if you can.

But if a game does allow it, then there is nothing wrong with people doing it. It's part of the game.

I don't mean to bash you, btw. When I came into this site in 2015, all games banned role claiming. Things have changed so it's normal if you found them strange. And I don't think things necessarily have to change all the way, that's why I still make games that ban claiming now and then. Just letting you know that what some things that used to be socially unacceptable are now acceptable.

And claiming doesn't necessarily make a game less fun. If the game is well designed, it can add a whole new dimension to it (though if its badly designed it can break it).

I hated the Favorites game in the end, [mention]Dragon D. Luffy[/mention], because it turned into a game of "role claim or be lynched/vigged". That's kinda lame. I'm against those methods.

Favorites is extremely hard to balance though. And it's a homage to role madness so that's usually not the priority.

But yeah I feel you.

Also NFers are lazy as hell and will abuse loopholes even when that is not strategically smart.

Y'know, it was pretty obvious when dunya survived N1 Anyway, GG, sorry again for inactivity

Generally a game should be designed so that revealing your role doesn't usually save you. And investigations are limited so town can't win with just them. Case in point: this game.

If you can't guarantee that, just ban claiming and call it a day.

I still think the Mexican Standoff is one of the best Mafia games I've played!

Thank you JJJ and DUNYA for the kind words. I will try next time to just come out with it. Dunya, Gossip Girl was every bit as fun as this for me. My fun comes from playing detective and trying to peg the baddies, like reading a mystery and trying to solve it before you get to the end, so being vanilla was good for my first game back.
I think the next game I’m signed up for is an open set up, so I’ll compare the styles afterwards. If I can get past the claiming hang up, then I will definitely play another closed set up.
