I wasn't a fan of the crypto rule. Being allowed to use crypto that was solvable by hand but you only get a tiny fragment of a cryptogram that has no meaning independent the code is silly. The whole idea of cryptography being solvable is to use a large sample to brute force patterns. You can't hand solve a singular line with added landmines. That's not how cryptography works.

The challenge was designed to make them fail where they would eventually forget it.
the challenge: Everh sentence must end with two periods..
Brutal
Just being on mobile I would have failed that. Let alone when I was catching up using a Cyrillic keyboard

Honestly I think that was also pretty terrible modding. There were too many inconsistencies with the rules and how they were enforced
I disagree. It was an anonymous game and where Mago is from people respected that. He wasn't prepared for a community that would immediately ignore the intent of the game.

I was very wrong on Caine but also the moment Brand flipped wolf I would have done a 180 there. Honestly I do not see how the scum would have had a shot had the game gone on.
I was trying to shade that Jailor could still exist and I either was Jailor or was jailed to throw WIFOM to cover Deirdre. Duno if that woulda played out but I expect Kohai would have picked up on the potential at least.
I picked up on that and expected you to eventually claim jailor

Agreed. And this eliminates a potential ML. TBH I was gonna go in and try and sell your slot as a ML but you shut that avenue down fast. I was forced to either pick a fight with Mikal or Llewela as we were poed out
Yup. Even Gerard mentioned my slot as a ML. It was unfair for mafia to have me dropped on them at Mylo. The solution is either to not allow replacements or not allow players who often need to be replaced to play. I'm not saying I've never needed to be replaced, but quite a few people get away with signing up and being inactive all game every game.

You played very well. I think your individual play clearing yourself really closed the game up
I'm glad I didn't let myself get paranoid. You mentioned a GF D1 and Lord of Chaos flipped GF/Goon. I'm used to GF meaning "investigates innocent". I realized it was being used to mean "controls the kill" and that you and Mago come from the same place so that's where the GF terminology came from

When tim subbed in made the game way easier to read.
Part of why subs are inherently pro town. Inactives need to be weeded out of the community because mafia cannot strategize around a player being replaced. Half of Mafia is controlling texture as the game occurs, so when someone gets to join and reread the game fresh with knowledge of flips, that's an inherent imbalance

Yeah. We easily figured that out in scum chat. And we figured Llewlia was Helz probably
I was going to hide my identity but I got so much pressure to catch up immediately that I got annoyed and just decided to be efficient

I do not ever see hardline wolf eating wolf plays as one submarines themselves. That threw me for a loop.
I didn't see it as wolf eating wolf. Fiona was the obvious D2 lynch

If Brand flips scum this is going to be a true skill test between Llewella and I determining who the last scum is, because we're clearly in disagreement. I look forward to it

They were on mine but it's for such minutea and I didn't have time to dig into it. The mod offered me an extension when I joined but I won't be free tomorrow anyway. I went with my gut that they are town.

Fuck it. I trust your skill and experience and I only just joined the days with 2 days to catch up and none to feel out the texture of the game.

I prefer to favor individual reads over association hunting. I have been on plenty of mafia teams where wolves just avoid etch other and do not have any coordinated patterns or even make any plays that consider their team mates in order to break hunting.
I also just voiced how one of the few strong association indicators I saw was from Caines vote choice EoD1 so flipping Brand helps solve Caine
It's Mylo. We move from lynching people who help the solve to lynching who is most likely scum.

Like really, Everyone suspects Caine/Random.
Does anyone think the other Mafia is not exactly Brand?
I think it's either Caine Brand or Caine Random. We can talk about who else next DP, but all roads lead to Caine
A-Bleys · 4 months ago
If Brand is scum, Caine still has to be scum. Brand hit 4/7 with 2 confirmed town, myself, and Random on the wagon. If we let that wagon get to 4/7 with 100% town participation and we let Brand live, town deserves to lose

Shotgun style, how quickly can you tell me why Brand is most scum?
Early game we had trains offsetting Brand. We had a flipped mafia pushing to keep them off the table EoD1. They avoided anything to do with the dead mafias train D2 and just threw a vote on the pile at the very last second to be on the right wagon.
First bits that come to mind
Okay, so Brand is scum, how does Random make more sense as a partner than Caine, WRT #128?
A-Bleys · 4 months ago
Honestly I'm fine with cancelling the game with how Random has played. I don't even care about elo on this site, but I know others do. Just cancel it at this point, I'm not joining future games with him if this is what he's going to do
