S-FM 164: Greater idea

[DarknessB]

Because I'm so fabulous that Scum see me as a threat?

I hope that's why.

People are afraid of competent-seeming people that they don't know well enough to meta?

[Klingoncelt]

Whoever killed me might provide the answer.

I must have struck great fear into his/her heart!

yeah, that's it... that's the ticket...

Oh look this game ended.

I didn't read the setup lol. I didn't know my discarded role went public or I would have kept mason.

Anyway,

Sorry that you're dealing with real life issues. It's not just the lack of activity though man -- when you were around, there were a lot of questionable posts in terms of helpfulness to the Town. I won't pile on you, but I think you'd be better received if you adjusted your playstyle a bit, in terms of being a little more serious / focused. In any event, hope your real life stuff is alright, and we can take this up more so later if you want.

Well I'm a little new to the Forms. never played form mafia before. i play like i do in sc2 mafia. i have a kinda useless town role so its really hard to take it seriously. its like getting shitizen in sc2 mafia.

thats also being said i have too much of a workload to host anytime soon, it will be some time beofr ei host again

[Frog]

GG everyone. :-)

I was the lone Mason.

@Klingon - yeah I asked SuperJack, he was the missing kill each night.

I was surprised at the number of serial killer draws in this game. Anyone else concerned?

Werewolf Immune Serial Killer
Mafia Immune Serial Killer
Alien Immune Serial Killer
Werewolf
Mafia Doctor

Innocent Child
Blood Hound
Private Investigator
Bodyguard
Nynphomaniac
Mason

It was the only true vanilla- scum heavy setup but competing scum. We got lucky they were so divided.

I had the option of Mafia Goon, or Mafia Immune Serial Killer. Neither were town, so I picked SK to be immune to the organized Mafia lol.

[ika]

the odd thing is how close roles were when i did a 21p of this and dice tagged it there were very few overlaps

[Klingoncelt]

I like these crazy role games better in the SC2 format. 48-72 hours works far better for this sort of game than 2-3 freakin' weeks. Players wind up overthinking the game and second-guessing themselves. The longer deadlines hurt the player.



ps
Next game, please let me live a couple of days, you guys, dang.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I couldn't do Mafiascum -- the games are way too stretched out honestly. After 2 days or so, how much more can there be to discuss? Just leads to too much delay their way.

This post is worth some discussion. In FM, Citizen is a very common and useful role in terms of deflecting attention from those players who you think are Town Power Roles (i.e. non-Citizens). Remember when you first joined the forums and expressed an interest in Forum Mafia, I suggested you observe a game or two before jumping in? This is part of the reason.

No role is useless in FM -- you have to approach the game in terms of voting power and persuasion more than night actions man. There were so many scum floating around that we needed every last Townie's thoughts and votes. Not taking your role seriously almost cost the Town the win -- in a narrow game like this, we really need everyone on board.

It's just different from the SC2 mod where the Town always has an excess of Power Roles and can win strictly by night actions. FM is much more about reading players based on their posts and reaching consensus on correct day lynches. I hope that has become more apparent in your first couple of games and you can adjust your playstyle to being more productive, because most FM setups have a ton of Citizens. Would appreciate other players chiming in here as well, because I think this is an important point to make.

TLDR -- If you approach this like the SC2 mod, it's not going to be a very good experience for any of us. Forum Mafia is its own animal, which you're hopefully seeing more so now.

Actualy they are doing trail runs of blitz games right now (24-72 hrs)

Lol, sorry for killing you. ❤

Also, sorry SuperJack! 💔

-Kill Superjack.
He gotta be vigilante'd.

Kill Klingoncelt.

Yeah Fire mentioned this to me. MU also has bot-hosted turbo games that last ±1 hour.

Lol, sorry for killing you. ❤

RLVG, you played awesome this game. I had for the most part town read you except for a couple of standout posts from D1. When I started to ISO you I was reluctant to release it because it basically drew the conclusion you were Town with a hesitation.

[DarknessB]

It's funny that Mafiascum's idea of a blitz fast game (say 72 hour days) would be glacial by our site's standards (where people even grouse about 48 hour days sometimes). I can only imagine how painful their normal speed (7-10 calendar days per game day) must be.

It's really nice for busy IRL members. One can take a day or two off to deal with whatever, or come in and post for 5 minutes a day because of schedule, and not miss out on anything happening in the game.
