Chess - Game Thread [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Also don't worry about me too much. To put your minds at ease, I'm not in any games, it's the weekend, I slept this afternoon, and Sooh's here.

I'm cool now, and just watching Lucahjin. (recommended to watch her play Ace Attorney games blind)

Very good youtube channel imo.

Which reminds me. Sorry about "thanking" posts after death. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Yes, believe it or not, whenever I'm playing during a term at uni I place a limit on how much time and attention I dedicate to mafia. This last year or so I've even played only the one game at a time.

I was a lot more active when I was younger, then I got to college, started actually having shit to do a lot of the time, started going outside and being social more often than I used to, and just generally didn't have the time for playing mafia or even posting at CFC and the Org nearly as often as I once did.

Pretty much the only reason I was super active and totally wrecking everyone at the start of this year was because I had literally nothing else to do.

In the past 3 games, on here and on MTGS, I've caught 3 wolves in each game. That's 9 wolves in 3 games. But I didn't win either of the first two games I am mentioning here, because one got away.

Hey man, it happens. I only got three of them, too, and decided to give one of my protections to the last one. I've had plenty of games like that.

Like the one where I, on two separate occasions, scumread a town over a mafia when they were the top two lynches (and they were my top two suspects), the scum got lynched, I proceeded to go hard after the townie anyway the next day and help get said townie lynched, then I got lynched myself because of how scummy that made me look.

Or the one where I correctly suspected all four werewolves and roleblocked them all at some point in the game, but never actually lynched any of them because they were just below at least one other top suspect (and I think one of them had some kind of crazy anti-lynch power).

Or the one where I was a neutral survivor and managed to eventually figure out that my scanning power could detect that one member of a mason group was an infiltrator- but I didn't realize that until after I died.

I just wanted to have a year of towning that I could really be proud of. I wanted my town game to be on point for once, and I've gotten really close a lot lately.

But in the end, that desire should not be the main goal. It's consuming more important concerns to only be concerned about having a extraordinary town game.

I will just come to grips with the fact that I'm an ordinary townie. That has to be okay from now on.

But it's somewhat comforting to hear I'm not the only one struggling to have that perfect game.

You weren't spoiled so it's super okay. The only downside was that it was distracting and putting ideas in my head that didn't belong there. As soon as Sooh confirmed no one that was dead except the mafia were spoiled, I was able to move on with the game.

Still, I'd be way in favor of a no thanking posts during the game rule. I pushed for it at one point and people were like meh.

As we've seen on MU, dead chats tend to get spoiled as the game goes on, so when dead people are thanking posts, it can be read into, even involuntarily. Even if the post isn't alignment indicative, just thanking someone's post, gets people to think hey, he might be thanking a townie's post. Who is he gonna agree with the most? Probably the townie he's rooting for.

I'm glad it largely didn't impact the game. And even if people were spoiled, I'd consider the thanks to be innocent mistakes before suggesting it had a nefarious motive.

People don't realize that they might accidentally be giving stuff away. That idea is largely how I hunt wolves even, looking for the things that they don't realize give away their alignment or the alignment of others, but do it anyway.

It's a fairly effective way of reading the game. Not foolproof as we've seen, but... people often don't know what they're revealing when they do things. Spew happens.

[El Barto]

Who?Me? No.. im completely innocent as usual!

You're Finnish. There's no way you're innocent.

Do you understand the meaning of the word ‘helvete’?

Also, Mr. pizzaguy has proven an adept host for dinner parties.

It's already in effect whenever I host.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm more like 1 for 2 on adept hosting of dinner parties, actually.

You know when you host a great game people still talk about years later, but they neeeeeever mention the "sequel" and neither do you?

Yeeeeaahhhhh.....

Wait.

there was a sequel?

[Askthepizzaguy]

................Nope!

[Askthepizzaguy]

On the plus side, now I understand why Hollywood makes a lot of sequels, but they suck.

Sometimes, you cannot perfectly copy a pretty snowflake. Sometimes you just end up with a ball of slush.

[Sooh]

Do you understand the meaning of the word ‘helvete’?

Sure do. I've been there.

I've seen that. Kind of made me have all sorts of second thoughts about things actually.

[El Barto]

Sure do. I've been there.

You didn't tell me you'd been here.

Anyway, is the RL poking of the pizzaman the good kind or the other kind?

Helvete

Depends on the situation. Also may differ from POV. For instance, I might have fun doing so, while he might have not fun experiencing it.
