Yeah, nutella, you were a Musketeer... dimensional travel must have given them some form of amnesia! That darn cat messed up all my plans for you guys. I think it would have been a lot of fun, and certainly would have engaged insertnamehere to a greater degree.

How about the Tribunal Night Zero poll?

Hit The Major Third
Voter Is For Verisimilitude
Each Chosen Option Enhanced
Will You Become More?
The Honourable Tribunal

The code should have been every third word. Literally unplayable.

Appreciate you saying so.

[mention]Long Con[/mention] what was the deal with the multi-D'Abrutsi?

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 9:51 am It's okay LC. I only win games as Mafia when they are unbalanced in my favour. I get it. Nobody is a sore loser.

Actually I take it all back you're right you only one because this was unbalanced in your favor and definitely not because you outplayed me, I mean obviously that's impossible, clearly it was balance.

If the Corrupt Remnant had chosen to kill Mac with the many chances they had, then the Civs could have won.

When Epi was the Champion for a couple of days (you know - the part of his role he didn't tell you about that was the Civ vigilante whose kills failed on Civs!) he chose to keep hiding away at the top edge of the map instead of finding a baddie (maybe one who is hard to lynch?) and killing them.

In the first game in the series, Mafia: A World Apart, the Civs would have won if they hadn't allowed themselves to be fooled by a cheap illusion and a fast-talking baddie who convinced them he was unlynchable with only the power of his words.

In Mafia: A World Reborn, the Civs had a fine chance to win. They were just outplayed by the baddies.

The mistakes in this game weren't balance issues. They were: 1. Outting DH early, 2. Allowing the Jagged Blade to choose to out their whole team (I should have host-interfered with that), and 3. Flight rules provided too much valuable info to the fliers.

I look forward to analyzing GOC 2018, which is clearly a paragon of balance.

Games this complex are gonna have issues, whether they're player driven or baked in from the setup or both. Sorry if it feels like we're pooping on your game, I enjoyed it. And I respect the immense amount of effort it takes to do something like this. I think a lot of the shit that went sideways here wasn't really your fault (or was one of those "shit happens sometimes" mistakes like outing DH).

true but i think the latter has its own place and it's not 5 minutes after the game ended

Yeah you right

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 8:18 am I just wonder if we had have lost if anyone would be telling me we lost the unloseable or some bullshit. The obvious answer being of course not.

Like I said I didn't want to crap on your win. Trust me it was super frustrating to have you convince town to not lynch speedchuck after he was outed. You played yourself a heck of a game and deserved this win.

I want to say this without commenting on the "deservedness" of the win, because Mac played a good game and should be happy with his performance...

but if I had killed him town would've immediately turned around and lynched me, then DH. Not killing him was the only path to us winning too. It just depended on another civ getting killed but he tried to kill me (unkillable due to DH's protection) several times, so by the time the civ pool was low enough to consider doing it it was too late and I was being lynched.

Actually come to think of it there wasn't any way for us to win since we couldn't kill Dana or SVS. So.

I think "Mac played a good game and deserved a win" and "the balance of this setup was off" can both be true statements.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 1:23 am I rezzed TH.

Man I legit would've rather died myself than lost that role N1. 0 fun shenanigans.

DH got people to vote for Cataclysm so I feel like he won this game on a whole other level.

DharmaHelper wrote: ↑Wed Jan 16, 2019 1:16 am IIRC Cbob and I were like "Well if we kill Mac the civs will just dunk on us right after." We were hoping you'd not be a dingus and kill a civ instead of bashing your head against the unkillables.

Yeah this

That game got weird.

Grats Blade and Mac in particular.

bite me dad

You could both vote quin I guess but then he votes with Mac anyway and DH probably does too

Y'all do realize Mac can just wait you out right? Like, he has no reason to come on land when his vote on either civ beats yours.

Oh wait 4 on 3 nvm

Quin want to be a dear and vote SVS?

EBWOP y'all

Gonna be great when quin and DH team with Mac to beat tall tomorrow

Dana wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 6:58 pm Hey SVS what if we lynch Bob today and then hide on land to lure Mac out of the bath so we can lynch him?

Dang dawg

You're a capricious little thing aren't you

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 6:25 pm How about we just lynch a civilian if you're really all about just me vs. you? You're just giving the civilians an out by choosing Quin. Let's lynch SVS.

I mean sure we could do that

Pretty sure you kill too dude

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 6:21 pm the one i can't see or the one that poisons me?

Either's fine

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 5:57 pm So just lynch Quin, he doesn't die and we just do that until Bob finds and kills me because I can't kill him and then when he succeeds to kill me you just lynch him?

Really DharmaHelper? This is the world you want?

Well no you kill a civ and I kill you. Ezpz.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 5:15 pm Why prolong the game any further than need be just to give him the chance to beat me? That's a bit shit.

It's the only way civs can still win

Pipe down or I'll stick you in S~V~S's backpack.

[mention]S~V~S[/mention] [mention]Dana[/mention]

Want to vote Quin and let me and Mac settle this ourselves?

S~V~S wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 6:56 am I don't think you made the game horrible, I think our choices as civs made the game horrible. I think this was a fun game, and I really enjoyed it. I hit a high note early and made a good move for the town getting a baddie and proving that TH was who he flipped as, so the thread would stop with all the "Oooo but maybe he really WASN'T ..." crap. It removed a layer of potential baddie manipulation from the thread, but alas the rest of the game I was awful lol.

I knew in my heart we had lost when we lynched sig, even though we may have still had the numbers at that point.

Since Quin met his win con, and DH had a bad day yesterday, what do you suggest? Bob?

I wish you wouldn't, but it feels silly to ask you to vote for a townie so.

Hey [mention]Quin[/mention] if we lynched you today would that hurt you at all?

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 4:02 am How did you rezz Turnip Head?

Maybe he got tired of that stinky backpack

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 2:07 am Why did you choose not to kill me?

Didn't seem sporting.

Also, you couldn't kill me without giving up lynch protection and besides if I kill you I just get lynched and still lose.

Plus I was watching out for my buddy quin (maybe he'll vote with me now?!)

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 2:01 am What do you want Bob? Is there a way I can help you given you didn't kill me for several nights when you could have?

Idk it'd be cool if we could win together but I don't think it's set up that way.

What would be real funny is if we killed the civs then suicided into each other and let just the indys win. But that seems a little contrived.

you played well, I played well, maybe [mention]Long Con[/mention] will be a bro and just give everybody cake?

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 1:27 am The only person within my kill range was Quin and in my grace I allowed him to survive and complete his win condition.

Also fake news

Did I though? Speedchuck got lynched didn't he?

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 12:01 am Definitely Bob
Slight chance of Epi

I found something that confirms what DH said about the Frost Knight fucking his shit over btw. So he's being honest for sure.

I'm civ tho

I don't kill people
