Near the end of the scumchat.
I'm at that post of yogs where he quotes me saying the mafia was stronk and he's going TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OLOLO-
OK, I have no idea where to begin. Good catch on yogs for concluding I had a "power" role. To be honest, I was playing in a way that had me subtly allude to having a PR, in hopes the mafia kills me and finds out they just got themselves a freaking miller. But somehow I had managed to see the end of the game alive, when I was trying - hoping - to join the observer thread instead. With Joppo. That played out very well.
Okay, about the Mafia being stronk, I thought for a moment they had two killing roles. But then some people (probs Caesar?) suggested a limited kind of SK, and I immediately thought that idea is very very probable, and before we knew it, Joe just handed his real claim on a platter of gold.
It was then down to figuring out who the last scum was. As SPF and yogs were noting, Joppo was very good at looking Town. He wasn't so lucky with his claim and double clearing me (at least he was lucky in that I didn't pay particular attention to him saying I did nothing when I should have done something to myself), and it was down to him or Lift. No-lynch was approaching and before I knew it, I just switched from Lift to Joppo. Not big of a deal, I was convinced both of them were strange and I was just as happy to off the other; but concerned we wouldn't off the correct one before MLyLo.
Oh right, I remembered.
Joppo will find this useful.
My pronouns are he/his. Being referred with "she/her" kind of, uhh, how do I say it. I like it actually (no sarcasm). I find it cute. Unfortunately, behind this anime girl avatar is yet another guy. Now what else...
I'm still finding it odd that I managed to live as long as I did with a miller claim of all things. My whole role's purpose was to distract Town, and it absolutely failed at doing that, for good. I dunno why that is, could it be that I convinced everyone that miller was so like Neville? I actually anticipated much more pushback, but I guess that's the setback of alignment indicative names and that reminds me of something else.
How weird is GOG Mafia compared to other places?
yogsloth: So mafia team had:
yogsloth! If you're still looking at this thread, my next game would be Mafia but also one that is the least like GOG. I'm thinking of stuff like lynching by vote numbers at day end (or no lynching by deliberately voting for it) instead of exclusively by hammer, 24/7 scumchat, that sort of jazz. If you were in my place, how would you do it? I felt your dissatisfaction as I progressed through the scumchat, and I'm interested in the same kind of Mafia games that you're playing.
I do agree with you that the roles were all over the place while you guys were poorly equipped, and there weren't enough modifiers to make GR less game breaking. Having you as a Mafia JOAT would have been a start, instead of the ONE role cop shot.
And I see ZFR mentioned the last game he hosted (before that one), "Previously on Mafia...". As one of the scum party from that game, it was actually designed according to C9++ dice rolls. So it was (as far as I know) balanced and, for the beginning of the game, luck was
against our side.
I'll read the rest. Sometime. Maybe.
