2018 Socky Awards Mafia (FINAL PRESENTATIONS!)

[Sloonei]

i didn't mean to put the suspish face at the top of that post

[Lunalee]

We are possibly in MYLO, maybe LYLO, and have been drifting aimlessly for days. It won't take much to push this game to conclusion for the scum team.

A name is floated and agreed upon. Suddenly, 6 votes pile on that player without much critical discussion. There probably are not 6 civilians left in the game, and yet 6 of us are in silent agreement that DDL is the best lynch. Nah. That's a lynch the baddies are on board with. We need to find a new name.

You seem to be forgetting that scum mates sometimes buss each other for town cred. At this late in the game, it's not a bad idea to get your teammate lynched and come out looking good.

This late in the game, one mislynch could very well end it.

Agreed. I just don't want to reason out of a DDL lynch if he's actually bad. And I think there's good evidence that he is. If he is bad and a teammate started pushing for a different lynch, and he gets lynched anyways, it would out most of the team. Which is why the lynch could be "right" and also "easy"

For the sake of argument, let's pretend he is town. Who do we lynch instead?

probably nutella

Why?

[speedchuck]

I hear both Sloonei and Luna. In either case, we need solidarity. I'm not entirely certain on DDL. He does seem like the easiest lynch, and that's worrisome.

But I said the same damn thing yesterday. We saw how that turned out.

I'll be here enough to make sure the wagon isn't too split. That's all I can promise. LAN party will take most of my attention.

[VOTE: Lunalee] aubergine

Big ass push on DDL is yuck.

I believe speedchuck did the "big ass pushing" with his post of DDL quotes. I simply saw a good case and joined it.

[VOTE: Lunalee] aubergine

Big ass push on DDL is yuck.

Why blame luna more than g-man or anyone else for that matter? If anything I think Luna looks bad for pushing speed and then going back to ddl, so I think she and ddl are potential teamies. Do you think ddl is town?

I don't blame luna. I just think she's a shady looking person that's not DDL.

The big push against DDL in general has me second guessing the suspicion against him. Luna is an alternative.

Actually, literally everyone else here is an alternative.

Lol ok [VOTE: Luna] aubergine

[Sloonei]

Why is it his job?

It became his job as soon as he said, "I told you so." :P

Well how was I supposed to know I was gonna say that before the lynch?

I don't know, the same way you seemed to know he was town before the lynch.

Do you suspect me for this?

Yes, a bit. But mostly just bantering because it's fun

Alright cool because it never happened. I voted for reywas and my original response was a joke.

This exchange worries me because it could be Opportunism 101. I crapped out a fake reason for lunalee to suspect me and she pounced on it.

[Sloonei]

But also made sure to walk it back by claiming it was "just banter". So it's hedging as well as opportunism. Bad look.

[Sloonei]

And she never touched it after I called her out on it at the end. [mention]Lunalee[/mention] what's up with that?

[Lunalee]

And she never touched it after I called her out on it at the end. @Lunalee what's up with that?

eh, didn't think it mattered that much

That was like the most important part.

Why did you suspect me without checking if your case was actually based in fact?

Your "I told you guys not to vote for reywaS" made me assume that you didn't vote for reywaS. Either way, it was a dumb thing to say after lynching town, so I thought I'd respond to it.

To be fair I do stuff like that all the time as town. I don't think this is one of the stronger points against Luna. Her hedging about it maybe but not the lack of fact checking in isolation.

[Sloonei]

We are running out of time.

[nutella]

Also, wait what sloonei are you saying you said you told us not to lynch reywas when in fact you had never warned us during the lynch (and you were voting for him) or am I misunderstanding

[Sloonei]

@S~V~S tell us what you think.

[Sloonei]

Also, wait what sloonei are you saying you said you told us not to lynch reywas when in fact you had never warned us during the lynch (and you were voting for him) or am I misunderstanding

I jokingly said "I told you not to lynch reywas" after I had voted to lynch reywas.

[VOTE: SVS] aubergine

[Lunalee]

[VOTE: SVS] aubergine

what? why.

[S~V~S]

@S~V~S tell us what you think.

I understand the points you're making, I felt Blunt Luna was good Luns, but she kind of agrees with me (I think) about nutella, since I am having issues getting past that double kill.

But otherwise, nutella looks ok to me. Luna seems to be bouncing off Chuck, is this a normal dynamic for them?

Link I lol I'm typing on a phone my sister in law just had a baby I'm at the hospital

[S~V~S]

I am guessing he asked me my opinion and I guess I didn't answer fast enough

[Sloonei]

[VOTE: SVS] aubergine

what? why.

I mentioned it briefly yesterday, but I feel like she's played a more reactionary game than an active one. I've seen her responding to cases than making her own. She was one of the many to hop on the DDL bandwagon today. She's remained silent otherwise today.
Plus everyone's an alternative, right?

[Sloonei]

I am guessing he asked me my opinion and I guess I didn't answer fast enough

Nah.

absence excused, congrats!

suspicion not negated though.

[nutella]

I'm feeling the Luna vote guys come on let's do it

[Sloonei]

I'm feeling the Luna vote guys come on let's do it

me too

And SVS is her teammate.

[S~V~S]

I was in the middle of phone posting and Mr impatient knows I'm here following the thread cause he's a mod. And that's the truth you think I'm lurking but I am not.

Link I lol I am not Luna teammate you are soooo bad at reading me.

[VOTE: lunalee] aubergine

[Sloonei]

is that a mod privilege?

[Sloonei]

what happens in a tie?

[S~V~S]

is that a mod privilege?

Yes more can see people who choose to be hidden. I choose. I read a lot on phone but hate typing on phone so I lurk so I can keep up without having to explain lurking.

[Lunalee]

why am I tied with DDL? This is stupid guys. I'm not scum.

[S~V~S]

*mods not more lol

[Lunalee]

what happens in a tie?

50/50 chance of lynching either.

[Sloonei]

is that a mod privilege?

I apologize.

I don't suspect you for lurking though. This isn't a sudden thing. I've mentioned you as a suspect going back a few days.

[S~V~S]

why am I tied with DDL? This is stupid guys. I'm not scum.

Apparently we're teammates.

[Lunalee]

wait, if I get lynched, does that mean my award gets presented? Or are those random?

[Lunalee]

Cause that would be cool. Town losing would not be cool though.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Is it LyLo??? Is it MyLo? It's something like that, but we don't No Lynch in the Socky Awards.

They'd come to a standoff, and someone had to go. Someone went.

Spoiler: show

Dragon D. Luffy has been lynched. He was:

Spoiler: show

You are a 2-shot inventor aligned with a/the mafia. Twice during the game during any separate night phases, you may select a player. That player will receive a 1-shot ability selected at random from the following set: tracker, double vote, redirect, bodyguard, anonymous message). If you have questions about what these abilities do, let me know.

Separately, you are a 1-shot vigilante. Once during the game during any night phase, you may select a player. That player will be killed. This is separate from the faction night kill.

You may use these abilities separately or concurrently.

As the body dangled from the noose over center-stage, a man ruffled through his pockets. He found a folded piece of notebook paper covered in writing, and proceeded to relay its contents to the audience...

Heists, or Classic Games, are a form of game meant for players who want a more laid-back experience between role madness games. They are restricted to a low number of players, and only 3 power roles, so that most of the players have to rely on classic detective work instead of game mechanics to win.

The game I came here to talk about does not fit that description.

The game follows the restriction of only 3 power roles, but then twists the mafia format in a very unique way, by getting rid of lynches and making a gameplay based on items, locations and mini-games. It also features a beautiful amount of flavor, with text format and images creating an atmosphere fitting of the theme it is based on.

But... isn't that role madness? It might be called that on some sites. But what is remarkable is that, even with the madness, it's a game that still features a low number of roles, and builds a setup without having to hand every player out a bunch of shiny powers, but instead introducing new forms of gameplay. Games like that impress me, because they tend to be very hard to balance, and have the potential to the the most creative and original. They flee from the normal template of mafia roles to create a new type of game altogether, and it they succeed, they can be unforgettable.

Well, without further ado, the Best Heist of 2018 is...

[Sloonei]

I'm good at this game.

[speedchuck]

I missed the lynch and we're still alive. Whew.

My heart jumped into my throat when I saw it was after 7. Whew. Ugh.

[nutella]

Sweeeeet!!!

And congrats [mention]insertnamehere[/mention] , VERY well deserved. What a game that was.

[Lunalee]

cool, looks like DDL was the other killer.

[Sloonei]

Good look for luna.
Not good look for svs.
Probably not a good look for me, but that's not for me to decide.

[juliets]

Congratulations [mention]insertnamehere[/mention] and all the nominees!

[Sloonei]

I still feel like nutella is good because i'm a damn fool

[speedchuck]

So G-Man is town.

I am suddenly even more unsure as to the rest of you. Though, just looking at the votes... That was hella dangerous. I think we can figure out a lot from that.

linki: Might not be a good look for Luna either. This vote would have been easy to sway.

[Lunalee]

I'm good at this game.

LOL

[Sloonei]

sabie cast a lone vote as well. that's a thing to look at
