MaxNQT: What was that bit about the last laugh? I'm sorry buddy, I did try to get you lynched day 1 just so that we could bring you back to life as scum and roll to victory, but best laid plans and all. Although seriously, don't give out early role information! Speaking as scum, we do use that sort of information, your early claim was very useful to us.
Yeah yeah. If I'd have know that a three-person scum team with a choice of convert or kill was a
possibility I'd have lynched the lot of you.
ImpOh. And NQT. A rather humbled Imp's interested in listening to that talk whenever you'd like to start it.
Basically: whatever you thought was a scum tell for me, is definitely not a scum tell. As you can see from my spreadsheet, scum tend to have the fewest genuine targets for suspicion. If a player seems Hamlet-like in indecision and appears to frequently reassess their views, then they're probably not scum. If a player is willing to put significant effort into assessing people's actions throughout the the game, then they're probably not scum.
PersusNice job Tiruin and Toaster. Looks like NQT was right. I was wondering why Tiruin was being so defensive about me thinking she wasn't an illusionist.
Rule #27 of B12 Mafia: Tiruin is never town.
Leafsnail4 scum out of 11 players is way too many, particularly if the converted player can bring an extra kill with them.
It was a game that I was playing in, thus it was impossible that I'd actually be able to win.
MaxEh, if you shift methods enough then sure it will eventually find scum and you can claim it works.
He method failed him in regards to Nenjin, Jim and Imp who were actually townies.
Well Imp had the largest post count and was town. All of his vote analysis picks were scum.
Exactly this: every time I tried to reason through how people were acting I voted town, but both my analytical tools infallible showed who was scum. I think I might have cracked this game.
ToasterI don't think I want to play mafia ever again.
And I was complimenting your play in scum chat!
Cheers. I think I will probably play again, I snap back quickly out of despondency.
NQT is a logical player that brings a very novel (and reasonably effective) approach to scumhunting, and he makes games interesting simply for doing things differently than everyone else. He just has a bit of trouble looking outside his methodology- and it all breaks down in situations like this one. Vote records are pretty bad for tracking down a conversion.
Thanks for the compliment! I think if I'd have known a one-shot conversion was possible, I might have been able to see it in change of voting patterns. Maybe. I guess I prefer games where I have full knowledge of the possible mechanics while I'm actually playing.
Tiruin...NQT, you don't know how much I'd like to hug you and tell you you're right. You're right for the right reasons, and on the wrong team.
Aw, well that's nice. Makes me want to play another game and damn well win for once.
