No, I only hope to improve my game... mostly by tunneling less. That's goal #1.

As much as I'd like to try to break Jay's posting record, I'd certainly fail out of the PhD program if I did... and be committed to an asylum for overly obsessive behavior.

"Man Fails to Comprehend Difference between Mafia Game and Real Life"

It depends though. I tried to break out of tunneling in this game, namely after seaside was lynched. As a result, I felt incredibly waffly, and acutally had a difficult time committing to reads. It also resulted in me dropping my long-time suspicion of a player who almost won it for mafia.

It'd be nice to be an effective tunneler.

Isn't that the best kind of game? :P

I also blocked that game out of my memory. Future games will see a new and improved MP.

I'm hoping, anyway.

Well I did win in Cars, but I replaced in late in that game, and as a civilian who was rezzed, so I didn't have to prove myself at all, nor do any work.

I just realized, this is my first win in a full game as a civilian. Thanks fellow civs.

Your role was definitely experimental; I don't plan on using anything like that again. Was worth trying out though.

And at least you didn't explode randomly this time.

Yes, these are the kinds of roles I land in your games, aren't they . I think its a good role though, the laughing one not the exploding one. It just needed to be made objective. For instance, anytime a player made someone else respond with a ' ' would have worked.

I always seem to land a role that can't be lynched or nightkilled.

I think MacDougall is the only player who didn't get a banner. :P

RIP Ricochet.

I was trying to behave like Dom. I think I got it right at some points, but also was way off at some other points where I let my true intentions show.

Day 3 GTH reads accuracy,

JaggedJimmyJay - 1 for 6 (also had Diiny as bad)
Golden - 0 for 6
MacDougall - 2 for 6
zebra - 0 for 6 (also had Diiny as bad)

Curious. MacDougall was mafia, he had more accurate reads than any other player, and also had the fewest baddie reads. Zebra had 12 baddie reads, but was wrong on all accounts (wert mafia). MacDougall had 6 baddie reads, but got 2 right, more than all 3 other players combined. MacDougall had 6, the number of mafia still alive. This is noteworthy for the future.


Day 7 GTH reads accuracy,

bcornett - 3 for 5
DrWilgy - 1 for 5 (also had Diiny as bad)
JaggedJimmyJay - 4 for 5
Metalmarsh89 - 2 for 5
motel room - 3 for 5
RadicalFuzz - 3 for 5
Strawhenge - 2 for 5

Later in the game, curiously, the only mafia player involved had the least amount of correct baddie reads. Jay got every one right except for the player he was teamed up as CEO with.

RadicalFuzz wrote: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 did notice that vote. Unfortunately, I had tried to get your vote on three different occasions, PMing MP within 5 minutes of the post going up. But the other times when I thought I had asked pretty quickly, nobody voted the player I wanted, so I figured I had missed out.

Also, my tunneling on your "scumslip" outweighed the possibility in my mind that you were Love for Sale. I probably should have acknowledged that possibility more. Sorry about that. :P

I was going to ask you a question soon actually. I planned to use that office gif you used during TSM

When llama had that role, his question to me was cake or death.

I chose cake and got a vote. :P

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.

Oh, there was that one too.

That game was still ongoing, or I'd have mentioned it.

I pointed out an example to you of an experienced player doing it here on the Syndicate during this game. But I agree, it is at least a rare occurrence.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Suggestion for Syndicate brass:

If the all-civs-win condition complicates your annual champs prerequisites (by causing a massive game from hell), an alternative could be to turn it into a champs tournament and award all winners a spot in a qualifying game instead of a winner-take-all finale game. Those advancing to the final can be decided by a variety of mechanisms such a popular vote, win conditions in qualifiers, etc...

Something to chew on, I've obviously never participated in a Syndicate championship thing though.

Here is what a Sydicate GoC looks like (notice the player who got lynched Day 1). Signups are open to everyone who qualifies, but as is normally expected, not everyone will.

But we've had more games this year than previous years, so maybe this year will be different.

Thanks FZ. I know you got a late start to this game, but thanks for coming in and playing nonetheless. Congrats to you on the win as well.

Uh, we better!

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.

Strawhenge wrote:

Hi-ho Strawhenge. Told you I wasn't bad (in a mafia sense).

To be honest Jay, trying to keep up with you in terms of post count AND content was impossible (when I really started going at it around Day 8 or so). It drove me insane, and I couldn't think straight, let alone offer decent reads on players. Last time I make that mistake.

It's been a wild ride, and it's crazy trying to be the guy who looks bad enough not to nightkill but good enough not to lynch.

Also, who wins the award for the the "Live Wire"? I hope I didn't have to play the whole game with red underwear on my face for nothing.

Oh yeah, I owe you an explanation.

I tried to get you lynched late because I roleblocked you the night when both factions failed a separate kill. I combined that with Strawhenge's vendetta (he also received a unique roleblock shot from the ACEOs and went after you when both bad teams failed to kill the same guy) and thought it was too big to be a coincidence.

As you can tell, I wasn't worried about getting lynched. :P

After all the hints I dropped, and my behavior during the Floyd lynch on Day 8, I thought you might have picked up on it.

Thanks for modding. Congrats civs.

My read on you is perhaps the most wrong I've ever been about anything. You got me good this time, MacAttack.

I'm just happy I got one read right this game. Just one, but it was enough.

I tried to use my extra vote on MacDougall on Day 6, but apparently I was 2 seconds too late.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Oh damn, just realized it's Day 9. Whoever that role is: you're rocking this game.

Of course you were the role that I accused you of not being aware of.

I survived a nightkills with 40% evasion rate and 60% evasion rate. Wow...

I'm glad I didn't have to face another one.

You too Russtifinko. Why the hell did I drop my suspicion of you that I had held onto for 7 WHOLE DAYS! :P

Whoa, how did Russ get lynched?

Yes!

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Yeah.

Good luck brother.

I don't like the way this game is going to end, but it's going to happen, so we might as well get it over with.

I'm down with skipping to Day 15. There's really nothing to happen Night 14 if I'm not mistaken.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote:Yeah. If we have a 3-1 majority and still can't control the lynch then I don't know if there's anything we can do.

Don't lost hope Jay.

Ricochet died with 999 posts.

Yup, definitely Russ, and it didn't matter.

Russtifinko wrote:MM, not convinced at all? No shred of doubt in your mind it's me and not Rico?

Not enough to switch.

It's Drugs we're talking about. Our only chance to lynch him today is to pool our votes together, and I think you are more likely the one than Rico.

Who's going to die today?

I'll be here all the time...I can never quit.
