Pirate Ship Mafia II [Concluded]

[Double A]

I feel kind of guilty for moving the game towards "everyone reveals their night actions to me and participates in a vig group or they're killed/lynched," because as effective as it is, I feel like it might have sucked out the fun for a lot of people. Not to mention ended the game pretty abruptly.

I'm also shocked that even though I clearly had much more gold than anyone else the entire duration of the game, a mutiny never came even close to fruition (in the thread, that is). I also survived as long as I did due to a lot of dumb luck (such as TinCow trying to steal from me, inadvertently revealing me as town).

Like Pizza says every other serious post, I vastly prefer games where you're matching wits, not spreadsheets. It sucks the fun out of a game when you just look at hard data and little else, especially in a themed game where balance is less of a thing. If someone is playing to win, then the gameroom is not the right forum for them.

That's a ridiculous thing to say.

You know what he means, (I highly doubt you don't).

Personally I agree with him, I'm not a big fan of spreadsheeting myself.

Thanks for the game GH, I enjoyed my role, though it seems everything was doomed to fail by the start.

He's right. The best way to massively network is by winging it. If you forget to assign orders one night, well, that just adds to the excitement.

I was annoyed that you died, as I was hoping you would be of service in helping me. Also your lynch was crap, which I did say earlier.

Indeed, Diana was in on that one and actually set it up. But I'm not sure she knew of the identities of all the Spanish people.

Duh.

And a really effective one too.

1) I came up with the treasure-steal / protect gold plan, and insisted it be used by only the men the Captain personally trusted. That soft-cleared a lot of folks.
2) I told the Captain that Double A was suspicious for joining my group late, and that I expected one of the folks in my group to have been converted. Right on both counts.
3) I came up with the mercenary idea to sell our services knowing that folks who do not have a gold win condition would eventually hire us. Visorslash did. And I mentioned he was probably Spanish or something in my QTs.

So, in spite of my VERY VERY greedy play, I was also playing townie to the best of my abilities.

I also stuck to my personal goals:

1) A member of the Three Musketeers surviving the game (check)
2) Contacting only one person the entire game for recruitment purposes (DaveShack, check)
3) Not organizing any groups / networking other than working with the group that hired me (Diana's was the only group that attempted to use me)

And you were actually rather loyal to us, Zack came to me saying that you had sold us off in exchange for being Quartermaster… which you'd already told us in a separate QT to which he never got access.

Of course, I engaged in Agent Mulder mode from the beginning up, never trusted Double A or the other Merry Men (and I was right!), and expected you, Diana or me to be converted before the end of the game (I was right as well).
I also took advantage of the chance to engage in Talk like a Pirate mode and do goofy antics -like Agent Mulder!

I proved to myself I don't have to lead or organize in these types of games.

Yes you did.

I also demonstrated a lot of cojones taunting Andres and never asking for protection once all game.

That, too.

The sole mistake I made really was attempting to work with Tincow, who I mistook for someone who wanted to be Captain. But I would have betrayed him mercilessly anyway.

Of course you would. Who wouldn't've?

He's right. The best way to massively network is by winging it. If you forget to assign orders one night, well, that just adds to the excitement.

Or, it tips you off as being a mafiascum like Double A. Well, we had a double error in type, but yay!

To be fair, Double A and Jolt were going to be killed regardless of any spreadsheet. They weren't exactly Mr. and Mrs. Townie.

Okay, in case you haven't guessed it yet I won't be able to finish things today. Postgame stuff should be up tomorrow.

And I never got to my big fake reveal. :'(

Not sure why I ended up rp'ing the way I did, just sorta happened. Was going to do something bizarre and dumb fairly soon to try and get TC captain. Then was going to mutiny against him so I could slay god. Or try, anyways.
