Woot! Not that I had much to do with it. I was half planning to poison myself at the next available opportunity just because I was making such a mess of it :-\ Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk ---

Oh, and I can’t find a full pm either - what was the unusual effect that PCM said would happen if the apothecary got poisoned? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk ---

That was a pretty good game. To be honest, as early as the mystics died, I don’t know how much effect the info roles had on town–I was arguably the most powerful (being beholden to no one, and getting my own results) and I was essentially craptacular in terms of picking people the same night they died. I do give myself props for saving NAF (which netted us a scum and a 3rd-Party by the time it was done). ---

Yeah I saw him being the only one who visited you, the night you died, so he could have been in hot water if he wasn’t town confirmed. ---

This was a great game, and I would love to play another one like it again. One thing I know: if I’m Town, and Normal doesn’t have a vote down on me by Day Two, it’s because she’s Scum. I wanted to vote her for that all game, but it wouldn’t have gone anywhere. ---

GG guys, was fun to sub in, although having no baseline on anyone made it really brutal. I think you guys should come on over to POG, we got some pretty creative games going in the next couple of weeks. ---

Well played, town. Thanks for the game, Gadarene. It was really interesting and fun. Not sure if it was terribly unbalanced, because scum had quite a few things go wrong, unluckily. The culture clash, and the different playstyles were added fun. POGgers seemed like really good players, esp. Episkey, CQ, pwnsall etc. JD, are you playing the LotR mish-mash over there? I’ve signed up for that, should be interesting. ---

This was a good game. And had there not been a couple of large Scum slips, we might have had some earlier mislynches. Though, we probably would have killed episkey sooner. So I think the game might have been balanced. Though, as Normal pointed out somewhere, not giving the Scum plausible roles that they could use in a mid to late game role claims ---

gg everyone! Town crushed this game. Big props to Ed and Drain Bead in particular for making my life hell everytime I thought I’d weaseled out of a lynch. Thanks to the many many wolves that were on my team after sub inclusions. We were a bit disorganized and I wish I was able to put more effort in than I did behind the scenes. You were all a ton of fun to play with 🙂 Thanks for the game Gad, It was awesome. Also, lol @ my pm essentially stating: Hello Episkey! You are a village insane seer. Each night you give a backwards role alignment to a person of your choice of a random player. When you die, the town can figure out roles of people your message was referring to. You’re a **wolf** , enjoy your handicapped role. 😃 ---

I’m surprised no one caught my slip. My first post as a wolf was on \* the wrong board\* and no one noticed. (see why I think I go unread half the time?) Haha either way I’m on the winning team I tried to help what ever side I was on. WHAT ARE THE ODDS every one of my targets were deaded (as town?) If only I had targetted Giraffe when I was LF1 ---

Also, lol @ me. When I went to bed that one night before Gnarly died I had stated in wolf chat to target gnarly with my role. When I woke up I got a message and just assumed I was reflected or something. Turns out that there was a last minute switch and team had me target myself so nobody would learn more info haha. That’s why the whole “gnarly died and i got a peek” thing happened and made no sense: Because by the time I realized plan had changed I already claimed I targeted Gnarly ---

nah, was probably pro village tho village did rock anyway and could have won by even more if cq killed some wolves if gad asked me i probably would have told him that about the other game, dunno if he asked the other mods about it but basically it’s really hard to fake claims and virtually impossible in a game like this [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mystery-mafia-game-thread/593025.md?page=281) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mystery-mafia-game-thread/593025.md?page=283)
