Three Wolf Moon [Concluded]

[Montmorency]

Man, I became so entangled in my convolutions that I couldn't divest myself of them even after they ceased being convincing to me. Well, at least I understood why town is always eager to lynch you. You set off these recursive panic alarms, and it's very stressful.

Maybe because it was a fairly small and simple game, everything turned out to be very straightforward. The Mafia never tried anything particularly devious or sneaky, and the town was spot-on by the midgame. Without my ravings the thread would have perfectly mirrored the game itself: a steely, relentless march against the Mafia. They never stood a chance.

In this game, the iron fists of the town meet the hollow bones of the Mafia - and break them.

Perhaps I should hope for similar attitudes to prevail in the future.

I am the player most prominently featured in any mafia quicktopic, primarily because I give that same reaction to the scums if I am anywhere close to being right.

Yep, proven townie dead pizza. Awesome.

JHT's reaction to me being dead proven townie in the QT just about sums it up. My first two cases were dead wrong AND I was urging a wagon on Monty instead of him, but you could already feel the enthusiasm slipping away with that comment.

I'm glad I pushed B_Ray onto my list of suspects, tied with Seamus for 3rd after Johnhughthom 2nd.

Monty.... Monty, Monty, we must discuss this whole admitting scum while not being scum thing.

[Askthepizzaguy]

About to be lynched early again as protown role.

God

I'll handle it, again.

[Montmorency]

I was heady with power.

[Visor]

God

I'll handle it, again.

Again? This game, and pretty much no other, really?

[Tratorix]

Being paranoid about the scans and the chain was correct; since the scums could falsely clear themselves, that was a huge danger. Me scanning Memnon and promptly dying essentially cleared 3 townies at once, and by then, the blind lynches alone favored the town. We could afford to drop Monty and still nail the scums, even if there were 4 of them.

I'm really not sure what was supposed to be gained with that move. I mean, there was still a lot of suspicion on you once you died, if you had survived we probably would have ended up lynching you the next day.

[Believer]

I am guessing that Tratorix was assumed to have been scanned on the night he was killed; congrats to Believer for his excellent play all game but ALSO for guessing correctly on a townie that wasnt going to be murdered for the scan. Scanning Warman was the final nail in the coffin, really.

I'm starting to think you're coming on to me. :$

Thanks. :)

[Johhog]

Lolwut? Didn't Monty confess to being scum?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Lolwut? Didn't Monty confess to being scum?

Indeed he did. And we all told him how wrong that was.

That said, congratulations Monty and Tratorix on figuring out the twist of the game before anyone else; that the shirt wasn't reliable on the backs of a wolf, obviously.

It was so obvious I had to make sure that Memnon was town before we continued. I hate surprises.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Again? This game, and pretty much no other, really?

Well, this will be the first time I rescue you. But I've done this sorta thing before. I'm always putting out brush fires.

[Johhog]

TRATORIX, start your Mafia game. You're stalling the queue. >:O

[TheLastDays]

Haha, someone's eager to host his own game

You know, I feel really bad TLD sacrificed himself to let me live past day 1 and I'm scum...

Awwww... I'm touched ^^

[johnhughthom]

Awwww... I'm touched ^^

I'd just had a spate of day one deaths so I knew how annoying it is. Though my letting you do it was probably something of a scumtell, I doubt I'd have gone along with it if I had been town.

JHT's reaction to me being dead proven townie in the QT just about sums it up.

I didn't like that kill at all, but I only got online just before the deadline and B_Ray wasn't about, so there was no time to discuss it.

Anyone else thinking that if everybody who thinks they are going to die night one in Capo does in fact die night one, it's going to be a very short game?

[Double A]

I'm dead serious. You didn't put enough scums in the game.

hehe

[Populus Romanus]

The first game I survived. Yay! I bet will die night 1 in Capo IV because of this.

[Zack]

Can a mod change the thread name?

Why do you think that? Maybe I'm just eager to play in Tratorix's game...

[Memnon]

Has Tratorix opened a thread for his game yet? If so, where can I go to join it? I've got mafia fever!

[Double A]

What's Tractorix's game about, anyway?

[Zack]

Bill and Ted.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Bill and Ted.

How timely. New York only recently passed that legislation.

[Double A]

Gah?

[Zack]

What do you fellas think the optimal strategy for the town and mafia would be in this game? Let's say 3 mafia, 14 townies, everything else about the game is the same.

Here's my thoughts:

Town: Lynch blindly, try to keep scanning townies at night and keep an unbroken chain (basically what ATPG said).

Mafia: Try to get the shirt, then ??

[Double A]

Maybe as a balancing mechanism, you can't give the shirt to someone who was just scanned. Or something.

[Askthepizzaguy]

That would drastically alter gameplay;

Either would make a fun game but I like the dynamic of attempting to make a chain, and also, scumbags clearing each other and giving each other the shirt.

With more scumbags it would be a real challenge.

The next morning, everyone came downstairs, surprised to see that no one was missing.

Believer: "Well, I guess we ratted out the killers, eh?"

Ishmael: "Technically, aren't we also killers?"

Johhog: "That's different! No more people are killing at night!"

Ishmael shrugged.

Warman: "So.... I can just keep this shirt, right?"

The others glared at Warman.

Everyone except Warman: "We'll see about that...."
