You stopped Jack from protecting LC, thereby allowing sig to catch NANOOK killing LC.
Super-flawless victory.
It was an epic conjunction of Civ-abilities that deserves some sort of Socky recognition. It's like we were some sort of synchronized graceful superentity whose parts naturally understand how to achieve harmony for the whole.

As it happens, nothing was with the whole Chess thing. It ended up entirely irrelevant because the game ended so quickly. How it would have worked under more typical circumstances:

Whenever a White pawn is captured, that player loses his bonus .5 vote (if not already used). If a White power piece is captured, that player's power role is eliminated entirely and rendered vanilla.

Whenever two Black pawns are captured, one of the mafia members loses their bonus .5 vote (if not already used). If a Black power piece is captured, the black faction loses one shot of their power role abilities of a strength that depends upon the strength of the captured piece (Queen > Rook > Knight = Bishop).

With even one more phase, I think we get into that. Y'all started very defensively, but the board was set up for a slaughter soon. A lot of Night 2 abilities would have been cancelled.

But, yanno. :shrug2:
That sounds like a very cool mechanic. I would not have guessed that much. Too bad it never came into pl...yeah no. :D
In retrospect, it seems so obvious to me. An elegant way to merge the chess game and mafia. My absolute favourite mechanic this year, excellent thinking. Is there a Socky for favourite mechanic? Nominate. :srsnod: :noble:

I would like to argue that I had a level of influence on that win, and perhaps deserve to be among the winners.

Jackofhearts2005 wrote: Thu Feb 13, 2020 12:14 pm Of note, Colin was like “why aren’t you voting, Jack” and I was like “Lol I don’t suspect anybody” and then Colin got lynched with 2 votes.

Is that a teammate interaction? No. Colin was hoping I’d vote somewhere and build a counterwagon he could jump onto. He had to say it on the thread because we aren’t teamed. I didn’t vote anyway because I was not motivated to try and save a partner because I’m town.
That post was more convincing than the previous one.

Stop trying to buddy me like your partner blatantly did.

Number one, I wasn't going to be around (even 1.5 hours I was busy with dinner). I didn't "dip." I have basketball stuff to do.

Number two, there was no numerically viable way I was going to be able to save Colin even if I wanted to. At the time, there were two votes on Colin and only one or zero votes on anyone else. I was never going to get it done on my own. I needed sig.
Well... you could have put your vote on a player that had one vote, tying Colin and giving him a shot. :shrug:

What if we lynch like the mafia bishop. Does it leave the board?

What if the town queen gets taken? Is that player out of the game?

Is this chess bot good? Do we need to help Sig not fuck up?
We elected sig, and it's his duty to make those decisions, not ours. :noble: I don't know the answer to your questions, I just think we'll find out before long.

Creature has 5 posts, all on the first page of the game. I have no read on him though generally I don’t like lynching early null reads on players I’m good at reading (Creature, Nutella, Speed).

Nah, I think your analysis was accurate. I'm sure he'll make a good King General. I don't know what happens if we elect a Mafia General, but I think it means we lose the chess game.

I recommend lynching Creature on the basis of this post.

"Oh wait wtf" is over the top. It's a phony reaction to the fact that this clearly dragged on and did not fill to 16.

It's saying something without saying something. Lynch.
