Dp101, I don't understand why you're upset at being played. It's the whole point of the game!

(and thus a wonderful grudge can be born, and you can nightkill atpg one day with prejudice if you're scum)

Because this was my first loss, and I was enjoying a 100% win rate, which is now shattered ;-; Also, because no one likes feeling like they have been lied to. Its one thing to have someone you have barely interacted with flip, its another for someone who has given you advice throughout the game to suddenly turn out to have been lying.

It will make the first time (and it won't be the only time) you defeat me while being scum and I'm town, all the more satisfying.

When it happens, you totally need to say "When I left you, I was but the learner. Now I am the master" and post an image of darth vader.

That will make up for not being able to post this if I had won this time.

Flaws build character.

I'm going to say what I said about Visor after only seeing him play a couple of times: If you stick with this, you will become one of the best players I will have ever come across. The force is strong with with you. With experience, you will trust yourself more (and your votes, before being persuaded to move them, were winning on several rounds), and you will also have the experience and rhetorical tools necessary to detect and combat verbal trickery better.

That's all you're lacking, is experience. I'm not just saying that to butter you up. I rarely pass out such judgments of new players after only seeing them in one game.

You have the fundamentals and the drive and the WIM to become truly great.

Don't really like the "VT gets to talk after death" thing very much from a design perspective.

Didn't happen this game, but had a strong player been spk'd night 1 and flipped VT, I think thats really rough on the wolves for no real reason.

Not to be confused with being quite the character.

spk'd?

Was a common practice on this site at one time. There are several strategies for dealing with that. Dead vanilla towns have no vote and know nothing particularly special. And the mafia can play against their minds just as well as they can play against live townies. It's easier for the scums to blend in when everyone starts sheeping the confirmed townies. Just like when they sheep masons or a cop. I've been on scum teams who have defeated a couple dozen towns who have tried such brute methods. When the town unites too much, it's anti-analysis for vote purposes. And when the town leaders know nothing, that's a recipe for an easier sweep, even.

I remember a truly terrible game I played way back when called the Chicago Soiree...

Oh, wait... did you say strong player? Because my strong player credentials go out the window when you analyze such games by me.

TBH my town game is middling these days.

It's not fun to feel like you got played.

Even if it's an expected outcome of the game, it's a big time investment on the part of the player and if they saw their efforts fail then it causes a lot of self-doubt.

Remember: It's a guessing game on the internets where some people weren't very active. It's hard to get a good read off of Pelican, jht, Al Sips, etc, particularly early on. Think of it like a casual game of poker with your friends.

The chips don't matter, it's all for fun. If you lose this round, you'll win the next three. Even if it was a very long night of playing, it's just one session. There will be many and you'll be on the winning side plenty of times.

Thanks to Zack for organizing and hosting this game.

Thanks to Khaan for being a valued member of the team, I think you played well enough that if it wasn't exactly the town vig you were voting, you'd have gone undetected for a while.

[Dp101]

Oh yes, I forgot. Thank you Zack for hosting! Still annoyed I got vanilla, but whatever.

[El Barto]

You're redirecting your anger towards the GM. Good, good. Embrace the Dark Side.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Reminds me of Luke Skywalker facing the Emperor. You have what it takes to be one of the strongest Jedi, but you just happened to go against a foe that was your match. Had some more experienced villain switched allegiances and lynched me with you, the death star would have blowed up.

Also, everything is star wars with me, apparently.

That's nice of you to say, but I didn't do jack other than I guess draw out CF's role with my body. After skipping a phase out of annoyance to mellow myself out, I was naturally totally lost, and didn't have the time or energy to catch up, hence my absence from the qt. Besides, this game had me out of of my element. If it's not capo, 3200 posts is just too much for me and I won't lie, 70% of it sure looked like meaningless fluff to me. Excellent work and praise to my teammates for captaining the boat.


Edit: And of course, thanks to Zack for the game. Yes, I'm editing a post! BWAHAHAHAHA
