Blah, that really threw me off. I would have taken out McGee first thing that day if I had known it could actually be done. He ended up going anyway so it really didn't matter.

I actually think Bulldogs was one of the only townies who actually contributed. His vote idea was the only thing that redeemed what I will argue to the death is an OP power, in closing the day early for the mafia.

I'll go ahead and explain myself.

The lateness was never intended. I was obviously around. But I had spent points to recruit a mason, I felt it would be a waste to just ignore him and submit night actions with out talking to him. Alas, he isn't really around on the weekends, and even so, our weekend conversations didn't really change what I was going to do so. So I probably should have just gone ahead and pulled the trigger, and I know it sucked for everyone else and I apologize for that aspect, but I'm not going to lie, I don't feel that badly about prolonging the game under the circumstances. Today was a little different, but I was honestly surprised at the backlash.

As for vigilante kills, eh, the not getting the information until the next day pretty much ended that for me. Investigating someone would come up into the paper right away, a kill would require a full day of waiting, plus there's no certainty. I could have killed McGee, but I also could have killed Caddy.

Some may not like the fact that I protected kill those last two nights, but kill was the only person I could trust 100%. His death would have doubled my points, but I would rather keep him around. At that point in the game, I didn't feel anyone else would have been that much more helpful to achieving a victory for the town.

That, and BD, you're one of the guys we know half asses it when you don't have a power role. In those cases, you should really be playing even more balls to the wall since you don't have nearly as much to lose if you get yourself killed.

ATL is another who puts in about half effort if he doesn't have a power role. It's disappointing when you guys do that because either of you is capable of swinging the balance if you're really into it.

I had a funny writeup for it, like Caddy was recording himself doing an audition tape for Australian Idol or Survivor or something, and the killer didn't see the camera, but I wasn't sure what we were going to do so it never made it in.

I told you to make it creepy!

Snicho · 07-16-2012, 07:56 PM

Well I quite enjoyed the game whilst I was alive. I liked the fact that the info wasnt given to just the one person, but to everyone in the thread, if we had only used it a bit better....

I don't think it was OPed after reading the Avenger's role and realizing that everything the Avenger did was unblockable. They balanced each other out.

Yeah I kinda coasted on purpose. Starting Day Three (I think it was) I went pretty insane. I had like four posts the first two days. I just didn't want to die early, it wasn't as if I wasn't reading. I honestly thought I was doing a good job, really didn't expect the coroner report to be false. Wish I had thought of that.

Snicho · 07-16-2012, 07:58 PM

Also kudos for Bulldogs for working out from the write up that i was a protector, but then when you went on your rant about the vote thing I lost a little bit of faith in you.

vidae · 07-16-2012, 07:58 PM

No side was overpowered. We made it as balanced as possible. The town really screwed themselves by a) following the op-ed pieces as gospel, b) D-Unit getting himself modkilled, and c) not questioning Shane more about a power that was very clearly a lie.

Oh well, whatever. I really hope you guys enjoyed yourselves. It was an out there idea but we had fun making and modding it for the most part.

SuperPacker · 07-16-2012, 07:58 PM

I was in stitches reading BB's piece on Gonzo!

I think it takes away from the fundamental element of mafia games, the day. It is basically a free kill for the mafia, who can already kill...

Shane P. Hallam · 07-16-2012, 07:58 PM

I thought someone would figure out the coroner reports were false. Between the pictures and how it took a whole day to get roles.

It isn't a free kill for the Mafia at all. It was because of the way the town was playing in this game, but it isn't a guaranteed kill.

I think it's time to sit out a few games.

I did... Several times. :(

Dr. Gonzo · 07-16-2012, 07:59 PM

I tried to discredit myself. I was wrong about Deep, the Aussie and German stuff I thought was clear ******** and wanted to see who ran with it. I was wrong about Deep, that one is on me. Knew Shane was evil and I feel good about my late sbh and broth suspicions. Not sure what else I was to do with an editorial screech besides throw out accusations and see who followed.

Gay Ork Wang · 07-16-2012, 07:59 PM

people shouldve known once JRD come out with his role.

At least gonzo got hammered.

He was supposed to be a superhero type of character...since this game revolved around a newspaper, we were jokingly calling him "Spiderman" early on.

Hence him being very good.

I also want to know why the mafia thought their Shield (a newspaper editor) could stop Vigilante kills? He could stop articles from making it into the paper...a kill is a bit outside of his jurisdiction.

Bulldogs · 07-16-2012, 08:00 PM

I would like to apologize to Caddy/Snicho. I had a feeling somebody was lying about the votes because I was almost positive ATL voted Killswitch. With Shane also voting Kill, there couldn't have been two groups with two votes. I chose the wrong group.

At that point they had what? 5 members. That was more than the second player got in votes. IE free kill. No point arguing as we clearly disagree.

Right, these aren't really "Mafia" games anymore. I think we can all safely say they have evolved into soemthing else, lol.
