Gord why are you making a case on Tan when, if you're town, she dies toMorrow anyway.

I fail to see any goal to this.

Why would it matter when she dies as long as it's before LYLO?

Because her scum flip wins us the game, and her town flip will give me undeniable proof that Nich is scum.

End of story, you're saying it's between me and Tan, when ultimately, it's between Tan and Nich.

If it doesn't matter about death order, then at least let Tan die first. That way, if she's in fact town, I'll take the time to prove to you that Nich is scum. But that's all assuming she even flips town, which I doubt.

Yet if Tan shoots you it forces her cooldown upwards (higher than yours) and so keeps town safe from a scum quickshot.

We've already proved Nich is town. This is not in contest. Saying that Tan's scum flip gives you undeniable proof is irrelevant.

Convince me. Quickly.

Tandora, why are you fine with this plan?
Here's the thing, I don't know if I am fine with it.

Omni and Swiss are cleared by cofirmed cop, that leaves Nich or Gord.

I have doubts about Nich.

1) He asked for bombs to claim. Both flipped scum did the same thing.
2) I felt his shooting Mac was kinda quick. There was a lot of activity going on and the day hadn't lasted that long before he shoot confirmed scum. Why not wait and give Mac time to slip up and give evidence on his partner?
3) Shooting now does nothing to prove a person's alignment. Before shooting proved if someone was the shooter, but with GF and Goon dead it doesn't help as much as before.

On the other hand, Nich has played very actively and mostly townish all game. But it's an almost detached sort of play. I know he said he'd play differently this game, less tunneling, but I don't know if the result is actual growth as a player or scum play.

Tan if you don't shoot Gord I will. That statistically, gives town a lower win prob. Unless you want to increase the chance of town losing....? Because YOU CAN BE SCUM BUT NICH CLEARLY IS NOT.

HE IS PAINFULLY OBV TOWN.

You've made some ******* calls which are scummy and, as you know to me, always look scummy. Gord is clearly scummmaiii.

So how bout dat shot.

No Swiss, do NOT shoot Gord.

Either Gord shoots Tand, or Tand shoots Gord. That way if the shot one flips town, we can take out the other one tomorrow. Anything else, and scum might be able to quickshot. (The lowest cooldowns would be Tand, Gord, and Swiss right now. Well, Swiss might get NK'd.)]

@Omni
I'm fairly sure that Tand's scum, as I've had Gord on the town-side of my scum radar and Tand on the other side for a while.

If Tan doesn't shoot I will.

Simple.

Mentos was null to me and Gord pretty much claimed mafia in his last posts. Tan is scummy, but not necessarily scum.

I don't care which of them is scum. One of them is. Tan shoots Gord as it is safer for town.

But if she doesn't. I'll go ahead and start shootin'

GGs to everyone, well done Town! Good successive shots at the end!

Out of curiosity has someone hosted a BIM outside of SWF?

Chuckie's strategy was to try and make out it was a cop in the hope it'd die early! Vanz was pretty much in full control of what we wrote in-thread as work hit me hard and fast this time round.

Awesome. I wanted to slow play it just for more info cuz I had mixed feelings. Was gonna ask Nich to shoot Gord since Tan had her 24 hr cool already.

Nice. Gord's play the last day struck me as off (a bit), but I was surprised that he flipped scum. I really did expect Tand.

It seems my games go a lot better when I find one good town ally to rely on. :)

By the way, I'd like to apologize for my D1-D2 inactivity. RL was hitting me D1, and when D2 rolled around, I was behind on the thread, the quickshooting had already begun, and I was just incredibly low on motivation, so I basically offered my services as a shooter to counteract my lack of scumhunting. Still, it worked out in the end, I guess.

This game was so freakin ARGH!!! I mean, we had it in the bag after D2... Omni quickshot RIGHT at the beginning of the Day (and I thought they'd quickshoot mac if anything... not zen...), then I went V/LA and was hoping Mac would send the NK N3 cuz I didn't wanna send it so early on Tuesday, but f***in he didn't. If we had sent that NK in and I had quickshot, we'd have won. But NOOOOOOO. N4 was definitely the hardest NK choice. I was torn by arrogance and logic, and I went with logic and shot Nix (arrogance being that Nix wouldn't investigate me)... And then I expected Omni to think I'm town, Swiss to def. think I'm town, and have it be between Nich and Tan... And after I saw SWISS call me or Tan scum, I was like FML. But ehh, ya win some ya lose some. I'm still pretty proud of how I played, it's just that after Mac died the game was stacked against me. If I had played all game the way I played when I replaced in, probz would've been between Nich and Tan. But f***ing s***... I WAS SO CLOSE.

Shoutouts when I feel like it.

Obviously whatever side I'm not on wins in bim. Sorry I replaced out like a punk, school and work picked up and the idea of being scum here was really stressing me out, and I realized I would be doing my classmate and scummates disservice by staying in. So sorry gheb and my scummates.

Well, here's my shoutouts.

KevinM:
SERIOUSLY?!? You shot FROZENFLAME of all people for inactivity?!? In a game without deadlines?!? *facepalms hard*

Chuckie:
Nice work, you were one of the few people I had any read at all on D2, and since you were bomb, getting NK'd helped us out some.

Nix:
Well, I can't say much about your scumhunting, but those cop reads locked down the game.

Frozenflame:
Another game, and more lurking. One of these days you'll be active in a game with me.

Zen:
I think trying to toss doubt onto Omni was your main mistake here. Your activity was good enough, and otherwise you blended in pretty nicely.

Tand:
Next time, please ask for a claim before shooting. That's a big reason I had you as scum going into D3/D4.

Macman:
What happened to you?

Gord:
Well, after missing your NK you were pretty much doomed, but I think your best bet would have been to shoot macman yourself for the town points, play Tand as obv-scum, and then NK Omni. Then it likely would have come down to whether Swiss found me or you as scum.

Swiss:
I was pretty sure you weren't scum. :) Nice read on Gord.

Omni:
M-V-P. :awesome:

Gheb:
Thanks for inviting me into the game. I had a good time, despite the inactivity D1-D2 (which I did contribute to, and you can't really control).

This saddens me :c

Gord I can't believe you didn't send in the night kill :mad:

Town was pretty bad. Scum was pretty bad. The idea was pretty bad.

Omni just grr.

Nich you're right that was a mistake.

Both my original scum mates abandoned me. What's up with that.

Gord I think you had a good chance of making it if you didn't go V/LA or just sent the kill in, but it's all good. We were the only 2 active out all 5 scum peeps...I have no idea where Mac went.

Omni, would you have shotten me had there been a different death like Nich's instead of Chuckie?

Never saw Zen as scum. Eventually had the scum team right. Took my time getting there though, Jesus.

Pinned Ronkie off his 1st post. Incorrectly pinned Tan too.

also, swiss and nich's obv townie game made it much easier to nail Zen

@Zen: i could tell that something was off, dude. when u and i are town we really do click. i normally do my thing and u do your thing. your sudden abrasion on me was definitely unique altho using Mario Kart Mafia as a justification was sensible. i think you played really well but your scummates, unfortunately, werent there to keep the disconnections nor the pressure going properly

i'll do shout outs later

i really dont think imma do any more mafia games. like, i really, really like playing mafia with u guys. but i really, really dislike joining a game where like 4 to 5+ people replace and 6+ people are hardcore inactive. it makes the game... SO hard to play and it is silly things such as non-commitment to play a game shouldn't cost town or mafia games like this one dead

this game is a perfect example of how we really need to just start holding people accountable. id be down to play mafia with a cast of players i knew would be active and do simple things like post one or twice a day or uh send in nightkills. i mean jeezus

Yeah, 4+ replacements in a BIM game is a bit ridiculous.

I think that if/when I host my next game, I'll require players to either

a) Have been active in at least 3 of the last 4 games they've played.

b) Hydra with an active player.

Hopefully that would cut down on the replacements and such.

Sorry Omni. I really do feel bad, but RL comes before mafia, and I figured if I was gonna need to out later, might as well do it ASAP. It's why I havent been joinin games though.

I was quite active for most everything going on. Had it not been for the fact that I thought Mac would pick up where I was V/LA, I'd have sent the NK early. But -___-... Activity's never been an issue with me in the past. Only time I recall replacing out was due to... walrus... but oh well. It was really fun playing with ya.

Omni: Gj, Kat really really thought you were scum so I had it drilled into the back of my head most of the game >.<. But other than that you did well, and even if there is no mvp you deserve full credit for the win.

Swiss:
Gj, you didn't do ANYTHING really until after I died apart from troll, so not too much to say. V/la sucks I guess but good job in LYLO you made all the right decisions and did what a confirmed townie should do. I never really thought you were scum on D1 btw, just making it up as I go ;)

Nicholas: Wow you were so scummy to me lol. I guess it was just your inactivity and I took your wanting to shoot as a 'get out of jail free' gambit. Gj not dieing =)

Tandora
: Wish you hadn't shot like that =(, that really set up the win for scum to take but luckily Gord wasn't online before omni =/. You made me think that you and Kuz had a McFox/Mayling level of abilitiy to read eachother (where if one is scum, the other will almost always be able to tell) but I guess not =P.

Gordito, Mafia Assassin, daykilled D5: Good effort apart from not sending in the kill >.<. I was REALLY set on mentos dieing Day 1, and you made me forget about that for some reason, so nice work.

Nix, Cop, killed M4: Rofl at Chibo being cop twice in a row (and me calling it ^.^). First two investigations were bad, but you caught scum so good effort.

Macman, Mafia Goon, daykilled D4:
Die scum die =P

Zen, Mafia Godfather, daykilled D3: I think you played good. I sensed something was off (and Kat thought you were scum) but overall I would of been happy taking you to endgame. And you would of gotten away with it if it weren't for that meddling Omni =P

Chuckie, Bomb, killed N2: Bullet taken, mission successful. Boo ya ****es!!!!

t3hkuzinator, Townie, daykilled D2: Sucks you were v/la alot. Sorry for the tunelling but I needed a read on your inactive slot, and I think you did a good job of defending yourself and I was fine with you living by the end. Funny that you and Tan were both off with your reads on each other. Maybe you both need to rethink that scum meta lol ;).

KevinM, Townie, killed N1: Bad shot you should of known better ;)

Rockin, Cop, caught in explosion D1
: Tough luck.

BilboBaggins, Bomb, daykilled D1
: Bomb + Inactive is not a good combo >.<

---

@Gheb: thanks for the game.

I think town would have wrecked if we'd used a voting system. Taking the time to do one myself really painted a picture of what people were doing on Day 2.

Being in Japan really sucked up a great deal of my time. Lol tando, still wuv you.

When I saw that no one had killed omni that Night after he shot Zen I knew town was going to win. They just had to track down who was V/LA (even inactive scum would still send in a NK).

And its okay Chuckie. I had a pretty large town read on you anyway, just wanted to feel you out with some pressure.
