GOSSIP MAFIA - Game Over, Town wins

[TopHat]

I said he could be saying the truth about his ability, but not his alignment.

[pete d]

you hear a rumour that raekuul2 is innocent

vote count

IH (2): Adele, TopHat
Tseirp (1): IH

not voting (3): Josh, Tseirp, raekuul2

4 to lunch

[Adele]

[Tseirp]

If Adele is telling the truth about the people he investigated, as well as the results he got, which i believe are the truth, as it seems just a bit too convenient that he would be able to guess all of those correctly. For now, as I have stood the past few days, I think Adele is innocent.

As for what Adele just said, a few words after Tophat and Josh make me really have to start thinking: probably innocent.

I'm not sure if the IH wagon is the right path, and that is why I haven't voted yet, I havent seen enough info to decide if thats the path i will take.

[Adele]

[Josh-oo-wuh]

Adele - No offense taken. I would be skittish around this many masons myself.

Tseirp - I agree with Adele. IH has responded to the concerns, and I'm not swayed.

Vote: IH

[TopHat]

We seem to be one vote away from ending this game. Then you can all go and [shameless plug]sign up into GOOOOOOAAAAL! mafia.

[Tseirp]

Fine, Let the **** hit the fan.

Vote:IH

[Adele]

You made the right choice, guys :

[TopHat]

Okay... GOAL mafia?! Hello!? What are we waiting for!?

[pete d]

The remaining town band together, pushing IH towards the town well. "You can't do this!" IH says, "I'm a backup!"
But, too late, for IH is hurled into the town's infamous well of lunch.

IH, mafia, lunched

GAME OVER: town wins!

"Hey," someone says, "What are we supposed to drink now?"

[Tseirp]

Wow, I was thinking that I possibly was naiive and stupidly belived Adele for a bit these past two days, but who in their right mind would purposly admit to ratting out their scum buddy D1?

This was a very interesting game, and it was one of the few I actually have enjoyed in the past while, even though it was a slow first 2 days.

[Livingod]

I loove lunchtime!

I enjoyed the game, but I must admit that by the time I got in the identity of the remaining scums was pretty obvious. The town did all the hard work on day 2 by lynching (lunching?) the GF. Thanks to all who played and modded.

[IH]

Guys I had no way out of that one = ( Doc/Cop combination at the end was to strong....

Adele, I seriously wasn't talking about that game on Mafiascum XD I was talking about IRC.

GG.

Doc/cop combos hurt things... it certainly was a "ticking off boxes" thing at the end. I think the masons pinched the scum at the start, also. Overpowered town, which could've been fixed with a mafia rb, or a one-shot powerkill (which overrides doc protection). Rae could effectively confirm me by the end because of his role too...
Who else could gossip besides me? I had one gossip per day, and said day 1 that anyone who could gossip should, daily, so I could prove that I was the gossiper I claimed to be later on (I kinda wish I'd had to argue my copliness more... when Rae said that that gossip had been planted by a cop after I claimed I was the cop who planted the gossip and no-one counterclaimed either... )


So the town had
1 cop/gossip
1 gossip cop
1 doc
1 RB
2 Masons
2 more Masons
1 1-shot vig

The Sk had a gossip

The mafia had:
1 GF
1 doublevoter
1 goon

A vanillaless game without safe claims, or nearly enough extra mafia powers to balance it. I think this game would've been better balanced if raekuul1 (pro-town rb) had been part of a second mafia group with the SK, to give a 8-3-2 (town-mafia-mafia) setup, given the masons and all.

[IH]

Yeah, scum could gossip, Sk could gossip.

I was hoping that there would be 3 gossips per day, but that didn't happen.

[Adele]

Why didn't the scum use that ability more cunningly? I think I used the gossip very well to the advantage of my role, and while I didn't actually think about how scum should use it, I'm sure it would've benefited you to put something - a mix of truth and lies - out there from the start.

[Tseirp]

Something I will admit, that I didnt like of what I did, were the people I attempted to save nights 1 and 2.

Night 1: I protected AT, because he seemed to know what was going on with the game near the end of day 1, and I felt that he was a cop. Though I did almost go with Mgm, which I didn't though because I realized while choosing my actions that he pushed the Rae lynch very scumishly, and I wasnt sure, so I let what happen to him happen.

Night 2: I protected myself, not sure why though. (Note: I was able to save myself every other night) I sort of felt that I was a target due to the fact that I was the first to point out the possibility of Ceph being a scum, and I was pretty much dead-on. Another reason is that I didnt really trust anyone else so far (though i think my second choice might have actually been Livingod, which sucks because I may have been able to hold off another kill).

Night 3: I admitted to protecting Adele, as I felt if he was telling the truth about being a cop we needed the Cop/Doc lock to prove a point, but many times until the end of the game I still felt that Adele may have really been scum.

A couple things I would do differently:
Not blindly jump to 5-6 different FoSes night 1
Gone with my gut (would have saved Livingod, and possibly made me belive Adele more, but gut insticnt doesnt always work in Mafia).

[IH]

I really only got one day to use it. I didn't expect there to be a gossiping cop, and I can't say for my dead buddies choices....

On day 2, I was trying to make it look like Adele was lying about her gossiping cop. If I woulda had a buddy left, I would have argued that point, that perhaps this gossip was the real cop counterclaiming.

but I didn't want to risk it, and town didn't pick up on it to much.... they kind of ignored the gossip...
