Longtime user. Part of the 10k club. Right now, probably the best mafia player on the site. Probably the best setup creator as well. Has dabbled in just about everything on the site, mostly politics if it’s outside of mafia.
Lunatic
Another one of the better mafia players and setup creators. Has been a consistent member of this community for over 15 years. Like Pie, will dabble in a few other things on the site from time to time.

Some people may have forgotten about him, but I haven’t. While not super active these days, he still picks up debates from time to time and remains the biggest challenger to Oromagi’s throne. As a debater, super underrated. People like to complain about how he’s farmed some lower-tier debaters, but when he goes up against another titan, he’s proven he can hang with the best of em, including a 1-1 record against Oromagi. Has posted a little in the forums.

I didn’t care enough to watch. I heard Trump had some harsh things to say. Considering what Democrats have put him through the last 10 years, I’m willing to bet he was pretty lenient in his criticisms.
Heard some other news about the Democrats’ holding signs and refusing to clap for some disabled kid. This might be a hot take, but I don’t really give a shit about any controversy surrounding that.

It’ll probably affect a few urban locations… and that’s about it. Unless a lot of left-wing Americans outside of the black church get involved, nothing else will happen.
I’m going to guess Target isn’t expecting much backlash, which I think is noteworthy since historically they’ve been left-leaning whenever they get involved in anything political… so whatever data on their customers they have, they really aren’t expecting much of a hit.
Or, perhaps they want to expand their customer base. I’ve noticed a lot of companies are bending the knee to Trump on a few things (Facebook being another recent example) and I’m willing to bet it has something to do with Trump winning the popular vote for the first time. I don’t recall any large companies doing stuff like this in 2016.
I’m glad Target got rid of their DEI practices; it would be nice if they did the same for their pride displays.
Politics aside, Wal-Mart is still better imo.

Pretty much. Add them and their values, and ours will be subverted. Canada as a whole isn’t just more leftist than the US, they’re also less libertarian.

Interesting. I boycotted the Blackhawks after their locker room scandal from a few years ago.
Anyway, I’ve also stopped watching NASCAR. I’m done with that sport; the only way the sanctioning body will get its head out of its ass is if it goes all the way through and dies, like a reverse ouroboros.

Talked to Austin. Game should start soon. It doesn’t look like he needs my help for anything, so that’s good.

Ok so the state receives some from the fed. Tbh, I would prefer each state have their own pool, outside of interstate travel.
Not exactly one of my major issues though. I suppose if they are getting money from the fed, the fed has the right to make sure it’s spent well.

New York can do whatever it wants with its transportation as long as we aren’t paying for it. That’s my take.

lowkey it still might’ve been a little townsided. Very chaotic though. Overall it was still fine.

Last thing I’m gonna say is that it’s best that affiliations don’t get swapped when a universal backup is used. I think in game mechanics it’s best that affiliation and role are treated separately.

This might sound crazy to some people, but the setup was fine.
I would be calling it townsided if it weren’t for the fact that the killing roles can be such double-edged swords and easily backfire on town.

role legendary. Once a game can announce they are legendary which does absolutely nothing but it may help you feel better.
Oh good great gravy. I thought about this on theme, but pushed it away cause “Wylted would never include something like this!”
I felt like I was playing out of my mind in some areas this game, but I could’ve done so much better at so many different points this game.

@WyIted
town did NOT need more confirmation lol
Fair. My #1 piece of advice for any setup creator is: Do not be redundant. If townhas three or more roles that can do a similar thing, you need to make some cuts. The limit is two; the limit becomes one for the stronger roles + scum roles imo. Maybe you can get away with more in a larger setup, but “less is more” is a great motto for this.

Ballsy maneuver stealing the Crab God. Could’ve easily been Hidden Purple Goo or something. I guess with four players you can afford to be a bit ballsier.

I’m not banning Greyparrot from my games. Dude just needs to adjust how he plays. I’m ok with having some non-tryhards as well.
I would love to grow the community to a size where we can separate the tryhards from the casuals, but that’s not gonna happen for some time.

Oh yeah another thing that could have fucked us was that we all sucked at fake claiming this game so basically we kind of all used each others roles. If we had been lynched in a different order would would have fucked each other lol
Ha. I knew the claims were off. Had a feeling there were no protective roles with town. My idea is that if there’s not multiple, then there’s none because wylted isn’t invested in nerfing the town killing roles.
Although come to think of it, town protective roles would just buff the town killing roles, since they have lower odds of hitting town.

When you’re caught because of POE over behavior it kind of sucks. But is what it is.
I had behavioral reasons to scumread you. I did feel your early vote on Banana was pretty bold. I would’ve left it there but then you said we were “making a mountain out of a molehill.”
The other one was I knew I was getting buddied, even during DP4.
Did you really waive the NK, as I predicted? I felt like you had to make that play in NP3.

@Greyparrot
Greyparrot, I’m not gonna pretend I didnt make mistakes, but please be patient in these situations.
Also, don’t have a town meta where you reveal your role at the start. You’ll find that the scum team can’t exploit you as easily when you’re town, and that you don’t have to fake claim right off the bat when you’re scum.

Yeah. If we’re a bunch of dicks to noobs we won’t have noobs anymore. Mafia will die as a result.

Look. You had some good luck, you can’t get too mad when the luck reverses mid game.
At the end of the day, you still won because scum played better than town. GG.

Next time, when we tell you to claim, you need to claim
Banana will figure it out and develop her own style in time if she hangs in there
Seconding these statements from Pie and Wylted. Townies very rarely get away with not full claiming when pressured for it in a way that helps town.
Mafia is kinda like chess. There are unofficial rules to play by. You learn those rules first and develop those good habits, and then you learn the rare exceptions where you break the rules. The latter process can take years. I recommend noobs strive to have good fundamentals.

I’m not gonna be harsh on you for this.
You’re still new to this and noobs get destroyed for quite some time before they start getting good at a game like this.
You’re improving.
In theory your CC was a good idea. In reality, we had a bit of non-standard setup for this game. Nothing wrong with this, just that it presents an extra challenge for town. I kinda fell for the false dichotomy between you and Vader as well.
Normally, however, there is space for two kinds of the same role in a setup. For example, a doctor could be included with a bulletproof. Both block night kills, but in two different ways.
Same with your role and Vader’s, what tripped me up here is that two killings roles in the hands of town is quite powerful, and I felt that was a bit much. Where I went wrong is that killing roles can be somewhat neutral in utility, since they can hit both town and scum. And of course, a 14 player setup does mitigate some of the chaos of killing roles.
I don’t know if that was your thought process, but I assume you had a similar error in your reasoning. Good learning experience.
