Good game everyone!

I really enjoyed it

yea i’m... not to keen on roles that are made specifically for bussing

i mean. i figured it out this time that nanooks shot wasn’t clearing

but like, why did that role have to exist and why did i have to endgame with a role like this again. was anni not torture enough

like i just think bussing roles are unfun and borderline broken and there is no reason why we should be asked to expect that in a game explicitly advertised as “light role madness”

i mean. this wasn’t the reason we lost. we lost because of the two modkills and tutuu fpsing really

but still, that is not a fun role or one that i think should have existed in this setup

if you’re going to put stuff like that in a game, advertise the game as such

i mean i still dont think its a good setup in general but ESPECIALLY in postcap light

which im more and more questioning the concept of in general

60 wallposts is not light

60 iaafr posts is light

jk that prevents actions from working on the target is conventionally called "alien" or "jailor"

"conventional" jk is almost always roleblock + doc specifically ime

Maybe the people I’ve played with have used it wrong

I've been convinced that my definition of light role madness has definitely exceeded the standard bounds, but I stand by the dayvig. The town team is not expected to solve for the fact that the ability must be used purely as a bus, but they are, in my opinion, expected to take into account the fact that the fact that a wolf was shot does not mean that the shooter is guaranteed to be town.

oh

i mean i agree specifically because the godfather mech existed

otherwise meh

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:02 am**

I mean it was brilliant play tho

Like it was planned to shoot someone for cred from pregame kek

Not how we wanted it to go down but c’est la vie

I still used the shot in a townie way even if it was forced, it was entirely possible for me to die D2 with the timing of the shot

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:03 am**

well regardless of the outcome i’m extremely happy with my play this game

i subbed into a ridiculously tough spot halfway through D1 and destroyed the wolf team immediately

caught radishes, linked him to kza, caught bob, sussed nanook a ton and then got there on him in the end

overall i really cannot feel disappointed in myself despite the outcome

this was one of the better village games i’ve ever played reads wise and i think we win easily if not for the mech shenanigans and/or modkills. even with tutuu fpsing we still could have won because i still found her anyway. but lol mech

w/e. gg wp to the wolf team

It only came apart when I died instead of Tutuu N2...and since I was dead it didn't matter that it came apart.

Naw, gamelong plan was to frame tutu

Which worked pretty well!

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:06 am**

im just gonna go with i wouldve both been far less tilted and i wouldve likely gotten there if the postcap+hammer situation didnt happen on the benson yeet day

i regret a lot of my play afterwards but still choose to blame the setup and the mechobsession gamestate it created

and i did sus nanook/radishes d0 too so there was that

well i did do that in the end at least

but i mean, if the day vig wasn’t mandated to be used on a wolf nanook wouldn’t have shot bob in the first place. he’d have killed tutuu. so like... it being mandatory bussing did factor into what occurred. if it wasn’t mandated abd nanook has just shot bob when he didn’t have to i’d be more inclined to agree with you

no your play was fine im just talking in general about the concept

i dont think enforcing a postcap in this manner is conducive to a game actually being light

almost curious what it would be like to run a "light in spirit, self-regulate please, no postcap" light game over an actual limit light game

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:09 am**

i mean frankly your play being completely thorough about the mech and exploring every possibility was probably correct

the fact that this game semi-necessitated that in a postcapped situation was fucked

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:09 am**

This game illustrates clearly why It's a bad idea to have emotion in mafia games

not taking anything away from your individual play, btw

like it’s possible to have legitimate gripes about the setup while also acknowledging that you played very well

they aren’t mutually exclusive. you outplayed the village for a long stretch and benefited from our unforced errors. you absolutely deserve the win

Well, yeah with all the extra godfather stuff no doubt that's a good plan. Without that N2 becomes a very tough decision because you have to kill the cop but you can't spare the guy who isn't buying the buss either.

also i still hate 3ps but im aware syndicate hosts love them for some reason

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:13 am**

I didn't know I had a godfather until like

D3 I think??

Or D2 maybe, whenever Dizzy got modkilled, pretty sure that was D3.

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:13 am**

I think that without the software to support it postcaps are kinda suck. Way too much brainpower was spent on counting posts, and the happy message from modbot saying "yeah piss off you can't post any more" is just way cleaner.

doesn’t mean the setup wasn’t also kinda problematic and unfun even independent of the play that transpired

Openwolfing from day one with panache. Having the godfather in your back pocket steals a little thunder, but still impressive.

I think we all agreed on this already.

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:18 am**

But yeah, the mechanics were a bit uh...wonky, but idk, I don't think they were terrible tbh. Like...I could've very easily been outed if I hadn't asked if Machiavelli was in the game and gotten the godfather, or if I had picked a fake claim that wasn't Italian and gotten red peeked by Amy.

This much in a light game was kinda rough tho, yeah

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:18 am**

If not...that is absolute truth.

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:19 am**

yeah. we had it enabled on a previous light game with no problems, but here town decided that utilizing the mechanic as much as possible was a great idea. That option should not have been granted to them, it's against the spirit of what is ostensibly the format.

the alison maj was literally accidental

only the proto maj was intentional and egregious (and again, 5 town players shouldnt be able to decide for the entire playerlist to do that in the first place)

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:21 am**

but we live and learn. And even the fact that majority should not have been put into place does not excuse town for using it recklessly and repeatedly imo - benson being the worst case.

Posted: **Fri Jul 31, 2020 12:22 am**

Long Con's role also doesn't work well in a majority game for reasons that were discovered pretty quickly
