Alas, you were going to be the only one to actually get that joke. But it amused me. ;)

I gave Day chat since there was only two of them, I thought Day chat equaled another half a player at least

yeah after reading that thread I have to say good job observers!

I think that Joe and ZFR is my favourite mafia bromance. That's proper heartbreaking stuff guys.

My third (one-two-three THIRD, you'd think I'd know better by then) game I as townie managed to get myself quickly wagonned at D1, then lied and falsely claimed Lover. Then admitted to Vanilla. Then got lynched.

Fun game that.

So speaking of mistakes, on your second game you still did much better than me on my third.

Don't worry about mistakes. Play and learn. Was great to have you again.

hahaha do you remember 12 hours ago when we had a plan?"

lmao

The life of a mafioso

Man, I've been there lololol

So yog, why did you feel that hard-confirmed him as Town? I can see mafia trying to take this role just to make sure town doesn't get it.

I thought it Joe was right and it was bodyguard.

The only reason mafia would choose Party Host is to keep it out of the hands of Town, and there are too many other roles that would be better for mafia to get. I would have been like yogsloth and said was lock town if I had Role Cop'd flub and saw it came up Party Host.

A mafia party host would only be useful to try and block Town from getting it - and if mafia were going to make that play, there are a couple much more important roles to snipe. Like Cop. :) Otherwise, what good does it do? Get killed and try to frame the JOAT/vig as a mafia?

Added to the ENORMOUS bread crumbs flub was throwing out there, AND the fact that I had a strong Town read on him independent of his role, and I was 99.99% sure of his alignment.

And I was trying hard to make you think he was Doctor so you'd NK him next lol

I agree with you on that too, but if the setup is around 25% mafia to Town then Day chat would be too much.

Chicks dig me for my ENORMOUS bread crumbs.

Thanks so much for hosting such a fun game trentonlf!

Great job town.






[don't lynch me]

I, too, had and have no hard feelings towards you or anyone here; I genuinely enjoy playing this; mid-game I mistrust everyone but myself (so far I've only played as Town).
But I could learn from experienced players, am trying to do that, and would appreciate some tips or hints.

As stated previously and elsewhere, after doing ISOs etc last game when i could (before bed), my head would end up hurting, so I resolved to not be quite so...overthinking(?) this time. The result was that I was hastier (I am decidedly not an Ent!) and my play suffered as a result.

That one night, I just wanted something out there (before I went to bed) that would hopefully rouse the scum or cause a misstatement and give us all something to analyze, instead I made the misstatement.

What I said about learning scum tactics from HSL was true. He was a good enough scum player that I didn't doubt him until the very end last game, and I figured "if he was so good, maybe I should look for the tactics which he used (or warned against) to be in play in this game!"

>ZFR, I'm relieved to hear that. :D

>I also appreciate the grace of you all to put up with a bad/inexperienced player such as myself (or at least not overtly mentioning your dislike...yet :P ;-)
I had a fun time all, thank you!

>Congrats, Joe & ZFR, I honestly thought you were town, and had 0 clue who town was.

Well, tip #1 would be that, while there are commonalities in "good play" and commonalities in "bad play" everyone's style is ultimately different, and the culture of the game here is different than on other sites.

Modeling yourself on someone's style (town game or wolf game) who's completely different probably won't help you much. You might pick up a trick here and there, but don't try to be XYZ player, or assume every town/mafia is going to play the way they did.

And even the best players are going to be wrong a lot, so be patient with yourself and just keep playing. Ultimately it's a team game (unless you're SK) so the point is not to try to solve it single-handed, but to share your observations, listen to others, and just sort it out as best as possible.

And if you're not quite to the sorting part as town, still share your observations and where you are at. If nothing else, that can help clear you, as it did in this game, and that has some value.
