A QUICK REMINDER
Rules: (Yes, even bastard games have rules.)
Players may not contact each other about the game aside from in-thread and game-approved PMs. Dead players contacting the living players to better spectate the game is acceptable as long as no information is revealed or hints/tips are given to the living player. However, I strongly prefer dead players contact me for information if they want to spectate. Dead players may contact other dead players.
Spectating players may not reveal information about this game (roles, characters, etc.) since all players can see it. Any players given inside information still relevant to the game cannot replace other players.
If a player is replaced out, they may not reveal information about this game (see above) unless I specifically allow them to replace someone in the game.
Once a player is dead they may not communicate in-thread. They may still communicate in game approved PMs, however. Also, players may not talk after the DP has ended. During twilight it is fine to talk, but not after final vote count and flip are posted.
No players may C/P their role PM or fake doing so. Just kidding. You can do it this time.
DO NOT edit your posts in DP threads. Violators will be banished to an alternate dimension where they edited their post and were not punished for it.
DO NOT like posts after death. (Uh oh. I can't stop you.)
All questions to me about the game will be answered wherever they were posted as long as they can be answered without ruining the game. I can and will answer all hypotheticals, but cannot answer questions about unrevealed information, with a few exceptions that will already be specified at the start of the game without the need for players to ask about. Example: If a player asks if there is a cop in the game, I cannot confirm or deny that. I can, however, answer questions about how a cop would work if it were to be in the game, since that is a hypothetical.
The role a player gets will be the role that player gets. Do not ask me to have you swapped for something else, please. I will deny the request in all circumstances.
Please respect the other players around you. If violated, penalties may vary, but I will always give a warning first. This will be loosely enforced; I will only step in on the worst of circumstances, so don't expect me to do anything if someone merely mocks or teases you. IN FACT, I encourage you all to mock and tease each other.
Have at it!

Whenever I suggest this site to people, they take a look, see Pie's pfp, and decide not to join
Well that’s lame.
Pie is out here doing the Lords work tho- if they cannot get along with people of opposing beliefs they should not even be here.

@Skipper_Sr
I’ll add to this and say it’s a good idea to check your first couple of game setups with an experienced game host before starting a game with them- I’d say Lunatic, Pie, and I are the best people to ask for this.
You don’t have to copy paste their setup styles either; you can add your own flare. The point is so that some utter bs doesn’t end up in your setup. I didn’t copy paste Lunatic’s role madness style back when he taught me- my style is more of a hybrid. I still learned a some good tips and tricks from him though.

I stand by what I said when I say you are one of the better noobs I've seen. Despite how weird your DP1 was, I felt you did much better in DP3.
My only advice is to give out your thoughts clearly, and don't be afraid to give your reasons for sussing others. Do not overstate your case! However, be sure to have some introspective- evaluate your own reasoning before posting it. There are also times when you think of the logical consequences of you being wrong- too often we get tunnel vision and need to experiment with other perspectives entirely in order to realize it!
I'll give you examples from my own gameplay:
In this game, I made a very bad push on Cerulean. I was somewhat correct- Cerulean did not have a town motive and was acting non-committal in their sus of me. But I didn't need to give out some sort of bajillion IQ master plan idea that Cerulean might have.
I should have started with this...
"I did overstate my case a lot. You didn’t have to be thinking that far ahead. It could be as simple as “I want to get a mislynch on someone, but being committal looks scummy. Let’s hint at someone and see if town makes a case for me to parrot.”
... instead of overstating my case and having to clarify it like this later. As a result of me overstating my case, it looked stupid (it was, but only because I went too deep) and everyone was pushed off it- including me.
In Clash of Clans Mafia, I had a tunnel vision on Pie late in DP1. It resulted in a mislynch. If I (or Savant) had considered alternative ideas or candidates, this mislynch would not have happened.
With this post in Bo Burnham Mafia, I was able to avoid pushing for a mislynch by asking myself, "what if my current scumread isn't town?" This resulted in me catching Whiteflame outright, and helping Pie with the Banana catch, as he was beginning to let Banana off the hook. I died NP1 having set town up for a relatively free win.

intro to sign up thread here
So, there's a lot of new and new-ish players who have never seen a bastard game before. Isn't that a shame??? Don't worry folks, now is the time!!!!!!
First things first: What IS a bastard game?
As you may expect, a bastard game is a game that is terribly designed on purpose- for comedic purposes. These games are not to be taken as seriously as a normal game- rather, they are for the express purpose of clowning around, for both the players and mod. These games are best when you enjoy the show, and are a part of the show! Additionally, bastard design can be an art of its own- a place where really wacky, semi BS but also weirdly balanced games can be created for a unique and memorable experience. Bastard games just hit different.
Rules: (Yes, even bastard games have rules.)
Players may not contact each other about the game aside from in-thread and game-approved PMs. Dead players contacting the living players to better spectate the game is acceptable as long as no information is revealed or hints/tips are given to the living player. However, I strongly prefer dead players contact me for information if they want to spectate. Dead players may contact other dead players.

I didn’t mean to tag you in that earlier post. I was gonna include some helpful feedback about the setup there, but decided that would be saved for a different post.
Im gonna switch to my pc to type that out cause I have some very detailed thoughts.

I think you slipped when you said “glad I’m not on the side of it this time”…
You were implying that my “it” (my early DP1 paranoia, a habit of mine) was incorrect, indicating you had some undisclosed knowledge.
I kinda threw there by brushing the thought of that aside.

Yeah I overstated my case on you. Somewhere down the line I made a lesser case, but by then no one was buying it, and that made me think I was wrong somewhere.

And yeah, I got tracker/watcher mixed up. I was claiming from memory.
Town could have also done without me being a competitive asshole to Cerulean and Lunatic. Sorry for that everyone.

Had a good mafia game recently: https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/11997-bo-burnham-mafia-endgame
Outside of that, not a whole lot. I know I've had comp games in overwatch where I popped off and was happy, but that's eh. I could play multiple comp games in a day, so no particular pop-off is special to me.
Kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
I played football and wrestled in my first couple years of high school... wasn't good at either. I was ecstatic after my first win in a wrestling match; so there's that.
Oh here's a good one: When I was in elementary and middle school, my private school used to go to a competition (called an "Academic Festival") to compete against other in-state private schools in various trivia games/other competitions. There was spelling, history, math, Bible knowledge, science, general knowledge, something called "SDK," and speed puzzle solving. Idk why that last one was a part of the competition, nor do I remember what "SDK" was... I just know it's on some ribbons I got from the event. Could be "standard knowledge," at which point my list of events becomes redundant. Idr.
I remember dominating every category, every year in that competition.

Good idea. I heard about a stock market app that lets you copy the trades the senators and house reps make
Not sure if I want to get into the stock market yet… but it is interesting to me

I had a love/hate with a Taco Bell I used to work at. Serving customers was nice, free Taco Bell was nice... some nice coworkers.
Place was understaffed and stressful at time, and the store went through 6 different RGMs in my time there... so some real assholes as well. There's been a few shithead coworkers that were fired for on-the-job meth usage. Hated them.

Yeah, I still can’t give Skipper anything but a townread now. Noobs are gonna noob, what can I say. I did like how he just gave some reads. That’s neat- he’s learning 👍

And then there’s Barney floating around. I mean earlier I kinda felt like a dick for wanting his claim when he was so busy… but then I had another thought: I’ve seen him update the claims list numerous times… each of those is a time where he at least showed he was skimming the DP, and could’ve noted something tiny about something, but didn’t. I still don’t think he should’ve signed up for this game in the first place, but if he’s gonna spend the time on that, why not say something small in each of those claims list updates? Perhaps he sees it as some duty to show he’s doing something, like he’s compelled or owes something to town, and is setting some limit on himself… I can see him thinking that if he starts doing little reads in claims list updates, he could get carried away and spend more time than he wants
However, whether it’s fair or not, inactives are harder to read, and I understand why Pie wanted him to claim. I wonder if I should’ve said that after Barney responded to my vote on him. I guess town will have to see how active he is DP2 and make that call there
