Proboards is pretty powerful, I'm pretty sure you can hide all of that stuff. You can make entire boards hidden to members who aren't part of specific group, so you'd just only put scum in the scum group and only allow members of the scum group to even see the scum chat board let alone the thread. It's a lot of setting up, but a lot more elegant once done.

I loved that too xD xD

Congratulations to all--especially Pooka!!! I had a good deal of fun, and the last 2 days were tense and really enjoyable.

@Joe to correct the oversight, I hope you also had a good time moderating. Thank you very very much for another grand soup... er... setup.

Also thank you all again for your patience with me those days and prayers for my dad, he is doing pretty well and the surgeon is pleased with his recovery so far

BTW, everyone don't hit your head on a fence. It feels bad.
O.O

@Joe I especially loved the paint nurses...( No @autocorrect, I said "pushing noses") in the last flavor! It was truly an ingenious way to yeet the lunch.

I admire your creativity.

@lift sadly you gave credit to me when it isn't due. Pooka was right, I don't think I would have dared to risk it as scum.

@pooka before I spoke up the last day, what was your plan for that day?

Thanks again to Joe & Joppo for Modding and Co-modding, Ave to everyone for playing!!

I was deliberately inconsistent with failed results so that town didn't read to heavily into them, I guess I was undeliberately inconsistent with unfailed results too. that''ll learn ya.

Joppo #28 in observer: Yes, actually the statement doesn't make sense when looking back at it, but I wouldn't call it a slip. More like a, uhh, sleepy accident where I saw "self-hammer" and "GR" and instead of thinking "oh GR hammered dogmaus on D1, what's so 'self' about it" I instead thought "oh yogsloth self-hammered, not GR!"

Really just a honest mistake. I think.

The plan was going to be a boring "suspect Micro for surviving and suspect Lift for predicting that in D3" and sow doubts around the both of you until one set their first vote and then I'd come in with a quickhammer. Honestly unsure if that would have worked.

Still, congrats especially to you. Yes, keeping you at bay was fun. Tense, especially after Lift asked if he should go ahead earlier in the Day, but it was all fun and I'm happy it played out the way it did.

Thank you! The reason I spoke up the way I did was because I was worried if be yeeted before saying a word. I wonder if it's give on defense if I would have survived instead.

@Book in observer thread... What made you think I was shy? Did someone target me n2?

Honestly, even I wish Micro was scum. Lift made a theory that I, like him, wished were reality and not a fantasy.

This actually reminds me of one time I played Secret Hitler on Discord, with zeogold. At endgame, after he so saw many times that I suspected him to high hell, he came up with this theory with so many people conspiring against Liberals and of huge scope, that I wholeheartedly bought into it. I dunno who elected him as Chancellor, but he got voted in and BOOM he was Hitler. Fascists won. He named this strategy the "castle in the sky." And that's what Lift's Scum Microfish theory is, basically.

Anyway, Night 1...so why the heck did we off Cadaver? Easy. I saw the news about the new replacement and I read the name Cadaver747 and the first thing I think was "fuck he's more dangerous than bookwyrm ALL PERSONNEL CHANGE PLANS" and bam, he was dead on the ground, instead of Bookwyrm. Yes, Bookwyrm was planned to be sleeping with the bizarro fishes from D1, but yogsloth convinced me to go for the new guy as a low info kill and I was convinced because Cadaver.

Night 2 I chose Bookwyrm anyway because yogsloth brought up the possibility Micro might be the remaining Half to Bookwyrm's Half. I banked wholeheartedly on this theory and offed Bookwyrm like I always wanted. And given what he's written in the observer, it wasn't a bad idea. And given Micro's survival gained him some suspicion...I honestly didn't anticipate that Micro would be suspected after that play. At all. It's kinda weird, but it worked in my favor as that led to me sparing Micro on N3 in favor of offing him, and then keep the "scumhunting" ongoing.

I'd like to add further thoughts but not sure where to begin, so I'll leave them at that for now. But I gotta say, Lift's #521 was the best thing to happen to me this game, period.

Oh I didn't really say it, so let me say it.

The flavor was bizarrely nice to read. I loved it, both the character interactions and the surreal environments that were also easy to visualize.

Some days, paranoia is not your friend. :)

GG all!

Was that me? Looking back in the thread, Joppo was the one saying you were Shy.

Beaten out by the guy who hadn't even said anything yet. XD

True or not but I agree that announcing a replacement right before or during the Action Phase is NOT cool. I can't say I would change the game much, perhaps I would accuse Pooka like anyone else, that "self-hammer" slip would earn a strong vote of course along with a wall of accusations.

I don't know if I ever play GOG Mafia, but I do know that the only way for me to participate in the next one is a 13+ players setup with ZFR in it.

GG Mafia! Town earned their downfall.
Vote Book for not paying attention
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/inviteonly_forum_game_gog_mafia_74_bizarro_mafia/post409

Doesn't count! They killed you before you posted that.

This second and for me short but intense Mafia (?) game was damn weird!
Congrats to scum (?) Yog and Pooka, well played, thank you everybody for the fun!
Still I am unsure of why Yog self-hammered himself, what is the point of this and why it's a common scum strategy? Is it really just so Pooka didn't have to vote as Micro says?

So Pooka would shut up and stop attracting too much attention.
I request a mod kill this instant!

Hahaha, during N1 all three halves decided to investigate Lift.

This is correct. The answer is by the end of GR's #495 where he says his night action at N2 was a failed investigation on Micro.

I had noticed that Micro was a low-profile mostly Town-read player during N1, so chances were good that nobody tried copping him back there. When GR admitted to trying to read him on N2 and Micro's own investigation failed I realized that there were good chances he was Shy.

Fun fact: Joe gave me more Mod responsibilities as the game progressed to help with his chaotic availability. After we all had to endure the looong D2 twilight I suggested to him he could send me the setup and I would be able to end the Day for him in the event of another untimely lynch.

When I wrote about Micro being Shy Joe had already sent me the list of roles and modifiers on each player, but I hadn't read it yet.
