Vector, we get to lynch someone three times but others are removed from the equation each night (as long as no power roles intervene). This changes your later point exponentially. Also, I simply defended someone who I thought was being attacked unfairly. I have changed my opinion since griffy's post about town etiquette.
I'll just say this: one of these games Lenglon is going to be scum, and you are going to learn a hard lesson about white-knighting.
And remember--if you're right, then why on earth would the scumteam try to help you? "Whatever you want" needs to be the environment that's hardest for scum to thrive in. Polite and friendly is, frankly, easier.
Vector: What was the most difficult mafia game you have ever been in and why?
I don't know where to start, to be honest. I always feel like I'm flying by the seat of my pants.
Beginner's Mafia (I) nearly gave me a heart attack (and a phobia of Webadict; I had to convince him that I was lurking and passive because I was naturally shy and unassuming); in Rysith's Semi-Bastard I had to pretend to give up in order to win the game, and mimic the mod's voice; BYOR: P lasted like half a year or something and had a lot of third-party roles with really crazy stuff going on. The hardest games for me are ones where you have to suddenly think outside of the box and convince people to do things that you know--and, often, they know--is very much not in their best interest.
Most of the games in the Notable Games Archive were Hard Games for everyone involved. You might enjoy a readthrough.
(Reminder to self--need to update...)
Hey
Captain Ford, you seem to have a deathwish. Ready? I already smell your graveyard's cypress on the wind.
Because seriously man, you're playing as scummy as I've ever seen you. Inactive, sullen, not exactly fecund with the ideas, giving absolutely no advice, making no attacks, disseminating no opinions. Usually you're loud and passionate, and defending all the wrong people. But you've got a style, at least. Now you seem frozen and incapable. You've made, what, three posts in the past week? Just sort of stuck your vote on someone and left it there? Something like that.
In any case, you're being quiet and I have a very hard time believing you'd sign up for this responsibility and lurk your fucking face off if operating as an honest sort of fellow.
So that's the case: wake up and look lively, or die, scumbucket.
