thanks LC :P

my first banner!

Let us flaunt, partner.

Everyone go sign up for other games so this quarantine isn’t a total borintine.

Each time you vote for a Civilian, your vote value decreases by 1, to a minimum of -4. Each time you vote for a baddie, your vote value increases by 1, to a maximum of 4.

He ended at exactly 1.

I have started working on the massive procrastination backlog during the quarantimes.

Can 2020 be the year we bring banners back? I want to flaunt this win.

I don’t think I performed a kill all game.

I did get blocked on the night we targeted juliets. That made me panic.
Was that N7?

Night 4, I think.

I didn’t listen to Rawls, I hope McNulty would be proud.

@Long Con @Black Rock what was this?
Added the 'No double-targeting' rule to the Rules post.
Someone got it right? I found out on night 2 when you told me I couldn’t keep asking Dom to talk to me

Did you ask me to target yourself one night?

By the way:

Spoiler: show

I assumed dizzy was the harbinger as well

We knew juliets was the monitor because we tried to kill her and it failed.

[mention]sig[/mention]’s lone Day 2 post had us laughing in scum chat. He was 100% right on mac

Why was no one resurrected?

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:29 pm Yeah, Anti-monitor team really didn't get a break this game. Between being the first under heavy pressure and the accidental killing of Sabie (who would've been lynched anyway, but at least it would take longer). But they all still did great despite of being under fire pretty much all game. Respect.

I think town did wonderful as well tbh. In order to win a multiball game where almost half the game isn't town you have to have both luck and play almost perfect. And town is the hardest alignment to get to "perfect". I really thought there was a lot of great play. The only thing I think can get better (talking to myself especially) is cooperation. It should feel like a mutual effort in the moment, and it did at times in the game. Of course that is extra hard when you realize half the game is scum (so who can you really trust, right.)

And obviously the Master's teamed played great as well. And they kind of ran away with it with the head start they had, having the Anti-Monitor's team being the team that got the most heat.

So overall just a lot of great play imo. ^^

It is as if this was a game comprised of champions.

Sabie getting accidentally taken out like that has to be one of the unluckiest things I’ve ever seen in a game.

Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:10 pm Thanks so much for the game, LC and BR!

Congrats, winning scum team!

Also, well played, town!
I wish I stayed longer in the game, but such is mafia. Thank you to those who invited me.

Your ghost posts were MVP worthy.

On the subject of vote value, I believe Ted’s ended up at exactly 1. What a rollercoaster.

Tranq wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 10:01 pm Great game everyone.

@other civs: i'm sorry, i tried. I really did. I could've kept going. I could've switched speedchuck and Epignosis tonight, and get the not-Ted mafia killed. Or i could've used Harriet on both of them. But in the end i had to respect the Take 5 Bomb possibility, and couldn't risk it. A well deserved win to the Master team. They played great.

Killing me gave town a chance that it wouldn’t have had otherwise. I had a +1 vote that I’d been hanging on to all game which would have made it all but impossible to lynch any of us moving forward.

Oh, please.

LC and BR games are far more structurally sound than mine. They are masters of balance and functionality.

My games are mostly memorable because everybody seems to lose their dang minds while playing them. It covers up the inherent flaws.

Is losing our minds not part of the design?

Epignosis wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 9:49 pm This was the most challenging Mafia experience I've had in recent memory.

Agreed. Nothing about this was easy. Definitely my most rewarding mafioso victory to date.

G-man games are on the same level as LC/BR games.

G-Man wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2020 9:34 pm Okay, well I’m glad to see that I was right about Sloonei and his garbage attempt to throw shade at me. That’s another top-notch name that I can say that I’ve busted thanks to my that internal BS detector.

I had fun up until the day people said some rough things about my choice to let you lynch me. It’s been hard to even lurk for long around here since then, but now that the game is over, I can ignore most of the words that were written about me. I didn’t give up or throw the game. I made a choice that was designed to wake people up, and it did, at least for a little while.

Always a pleasure, LC and BR. ‘Tis a pity that I won’t get to play one of these masterpieces again.

My suspicion of you was genuine early on, for the record. The lynch vote was complete bullshit though.

Excellent game, everybody. Especially LC and BR. I think this was my first significant experience with one of their games and it lived up to the hype. I loved it.

And my teammates all kicked ass.

Requesting permission to laugh as well.

rez please

In the original Fallout Mafia Tony, mac, and sabie were the mafia team. Two out of three down.

Jack and juliets are never teamed with Mac. That's about all I'm comfortable saying at this point.

And screw self-voting as well.
I assume this is what you are talking about. I'm less familiar with speedchuck's anti-emotional stance. This post is not enough to remove him from my POE, and it's possible the emotion is genuine but he's still bad in a multiball game. I'm not sure if he'd be aligned with mac in that scenario though. So I guess if the POE is just for that team then it might make sense.
So you think he is the Anti-Monitor or just faking it? It doesn't sound fake to me but what do I know.

I doubt it was faked. Even without knowing speedchuck has a specific objection to emotional pleas, he doesn't seem like the type to say unkind things for the sake of scoring points in a game. But given the situation right now I'm not totally willing to dismiss him as a suspect for this. To be clear, it helps his case. It just does not completely absolve him in my eyes.

I don't have an answer to things right now. This game has kind of been back-burnered for me the last few days. I hope I have a chance to do solving things later. This isn't unwinnable.

Could be. I sort of expected you to yell at me, at least with your Sloonei voice, about that out-of-nowhere read. So I'm probably right

I am yelling. Look how angry I am.

I don't see it as out-of-nowhere. I've been forced to reconsider my read on you. It makes sense to reconsider me as well. The POE is wrong if it includes me, and you may be fully aware of that. Walk me through why speedchuck can't be bad.

If the POE insists that I must be bad then the POE is wrong.

No. Hence frustration.

How many times can Jack claim that I ignored the case on Mac?

Because you can’t all be wolves. Jay only has two teammates. Two of you are just not listening.
I am listening. I have not agreed with you. I might now. I don't know. I don't think he needs to be bad here but I won't ignore the possibility.
Lol okay. So Sloonei is still one of the wolves.

wait no. if he detonates then jay gets lynched no matter what. I'm not sure what this accomplishes in that case.

This isn't a new wagon. This is a backup in case G-man freezes the poll on us.

Town read on tony right now, I think.

It will also make them unable to post, use abilities or be targeted by abilities, during the next cycle.

The effect will wear off right before the next day’s lynch. Once that happens, the three players will receive any votes they had on them the moment the ability was used.

If there are less than 10 players alive, only 1 player will be frozen with the user, instead of 2. If there are less than 6, only the user will.

I prefer to lynch G-man by a country mile. I did not realize how late it was. G-man's self-vote makes me nervous. Someone change.
