This is a case of confirmation bias. I would have said something to that extent regardless.

You weren't playing from a town perspective though, never mind the coffee, and I did catch on to that. Truth is, I'm a real coward. I'd rather lose by someone else's hand than fight for what I believe in. It's my worst trait as town. I shouldn't have let you go. But I did. And you played well and was slippery enough to sneak away.^^Scotty wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:58 pmThis is a case of confirmation bias. I would have said something to that extent regardless.

Aside from the fact that I was bad as shit, I was wholly honest when I said things. It’s all about playing from the civ perspective
Unfortunately I can relate here.

This game has burned me out a bit. I didn’t have nearly the amount of time to play as I wanted and it became a chore sometimes :/
The loss was because of me. All I had to do was vote Scotty and the votes would have been there. I knew that.Dyslexicon wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:01 pmYou weren't playing from a town perspective though, never mind the coffee, and I did catch on to that. Truth is, I'm a real coward.

But I could've fought you on it. I wanted to. I almost did. But I backed out of it. Because I would rather not have the "blame". Which is dumb, because this is fully a team game all the time. So I'm sorry I did not fight you on it harder.Charlie Blackmon wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:06 pmThe loss was because of me. All I had to do was vote Scotty and the votes would have been there.

The one time in her life that nutella has ever sounded genuine to me was the one time I heavily defended her and she was on the bad team.
I am about 1 for 14 batting against nutella.
Claiming still isn't second nature for a lot of us around here who played games for years where it wasn't allowed.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:21 pm I was surprised too that people didn’t seize the role claiming thing earlier. In one of the earliest RYM games I broke it open by taking advantage of grouped civilians in a certain way when I was the cop and it was pretty damn hard for scum to fight that. Good that the intervention happened when it did.
I think that, on balance, mafia roles which cannot be lynched until all others are lynched are extremely powerful -- among the most powerful that faction can have. Not only does it prevent Colin being lynched on Day 4, but it leaves the mafia with two votes at all times -- LyLo came on Day 6 instead of Day 7 as a result.
Yes. And now that this game is over, I'm hosting the next heist (with sockpuppets). Still could use 3-8 more folks.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:31 pm Now everybody go sign up for more games so I have something to do at work.
I agree with this assessment.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:32 pmI think that, on balance, mafia roles which cannot be lynched until all others are lynched are extremely powerful -- among the most powerful that faction can have.

That said, I don't blame you at all for that -- in a 12 vs. 3 game, one strong mafia role isn't a big deal. Perhaps this one was too strong, but the civilians have no room to complain. If everything was perfectly kosher, Epignosis would have never been removed from the POE pool, and he would have been every bit the suspect that Quin, nutella, and Scotty were in the last couple days. The mafia team got burned by that (and of course Epi didn't intend any shenanigans, it was an understandable accident) -- they had to overcome a serious suspect instantly turning into essentially a confirmed civilian. If Caerbannog was too strong, that tipped the balance back.
Yeah, I was pretty afraid of fucking things up for Scotty both votes but my desperation Hail Mary would have been to vote for him 3 minutes before EOD today if I had to. I just kinda talked shit the last few phases and that was it.Golden wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:37 pm Two votes that, if used as a block, could reveal the teammate. Scotty having "Vote counts as 2" while colin had nothing would potentially have provided the same result for the baddies with less risk?
Perhaps the best use for Colin was wifom?
I love the chutzpah of leaving Jay alive. From an external perspective, scotty's performance feels a little like my Economics one.
If it makes you feel any better, if I was mafia I definitely would have killed you.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:39 pm I rarely seem to get killed, especially early.
And at 4-straight losses, I can't blame anyone. Let me screw up.
I see what you’re saying. Totally true.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:42 pm I don't think the importance of Colin's vote is in where he places it -- it's more important in that it exists by the numbers. The civilians lose at 2 vs. 2 because that vote exists, instead of playing on. LyLo happens sooner.
Is it different to or equal to scotty's vote being worth 2? Different because you could devise a tie plan to counter a double vote?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:42 pm I don't think the importance of Colin's vote is in where he places it -- it's more important in that it exists by the numbers.

I certainly don't take anything away from y'all. I think this was possibly the most well-played heist we've ever had by both factions. I've rarely experienced such a hard-fought defeat. Y'all had to endure a lot to get here, and you got here.ColinIsCool wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:44 pmI see what you’re saying.

Usually when I implement roles like that, I specifically indicate "the bonus vote does not function during elimination phases" to avoid things like this. I hate it when vote shenanigans infect a beautiful endgame. (That's not what happened here)Golden wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:46 pmIs it different to or equal to scotty's vote being worth 2?

Absolutely. I appreciate that a lot.

I need to have a productive summer, and then fall classes will resume. I might consider a burglary here or there.
Oh, yes, I see what you're saying... because even though Colin is outed, you still need a day at the end to lynch him...JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 11:49 pmUsually when I implement roles like that, I specifically indicate "the bonus vote does not function during elimination phases" to avoid things like this.

In a LyLo scenario their utility is similar. Overall, a bad guy who straight up can't be lynched until X is stronger. That means that at the very least, a no lynch is going to happen if the civilians aren't perfect in their order of operations. No lynches are balls.

Also to the mod for the setup and the game.

Your random comment toward MacMarmot almost gave us the game in a way and we made a lot of lemonade from your lynch.
