The madman and his mad friends - GAME OVER - TOWN WIN

[Jason Maher]

Frankly, to get as close as he did when he could have been random lynched or meta'd early on is virtually a win.

 

[soc123_au]

I did nothing other than survive. All of my kills were redirected.

Soc played very well. It was only his obvious attempt to get me turboed that twigged me in the end.

I overthought it at the end and panicked. I got lucky with Dutchy dieing as well, he had me pegged.

 

[Rebel]

Mvp right here. Called it on day one.

Soc coming after me even though the Dutchy death cleared me, sealed it for me

 

[Drew-Sta]

I honestly thought you'd waver like Bazzi towards the end. :lol: I had flashbacks of dogslife and Drew all over again :sarcasm:

 

[Bazzi]

Well played soc, nearly had me there even though I had it all figured.

Thanks for the game Drew, really interesting concept, I'd definitely play another one like that.

 

[Bazal]

soc played the role really well.

I thought Bazzi did well working it out, Rebel worked it out and held fast too (which in the end was what won the game - had he flaked with Bazzi then JM could have been lynched).

JM and Dutchy did well.

Baz seemed to work it out towards the end I thought.

Too late though. I switched Dutchy and Bazzi the last night because Bazzi had been doubling up soc. I figured if he targeted soc again, he'd kill him. Except somehow Dutchy died. Sorry bro

 

[Drew-Sta]

I'm not sure others would play Bazzi :sarcasm: But I'm glad people enjoyed it. Is definitely a different idea.

 

[Bazzi]

I doubled up Dutchy on the night he died, but you switched out powers and it resulted in me killing Dutchy

 

[Jason Maher]

It wouldn't work as well if we knew it was a one man vs the world game.

 

[Bazal]

Yeah I figured that. Still, it sealed soc for me because Dutchy was only gonna target me or soc.

 

[Drew-Sta]

It wouldn't work as well if we knew it was a one man vs the world game.

Agree. I'll have to come up with some other concept to try.

 

[Rebel]

I would have loved to have socs role. So fun!

 

[9701]

killed on night 1 second game in a row, the anti-metagaming rabbit was an odd night killer, believe it or not.

 

[Rebel]

I'm loling at bunnies man for not even questioning that the census was fake lol

 

[Jason Maher]

My census was real.

 

[soc123_au]

I would have loved to have socs role. So fun!

It was fun, right up until the point I thought I might actually win. Lol. Then it got frustrating. Still fun though, one of my favorite roles & I have had some good ones.

meh I don't get this. His role was basically a guaranteed win if Drew had stuck to his initial plan for the write-ups.

The only thing that prevented him from winning was Drew deciding to be considerably less shifty in the write-ups (remember his initial idea was only kills). How would anyone have known if they didn't start to get those clues? How was soc figured out in this game? The write-ups went from giving him blowjays to spitting it back into his eye, the poor bastard.

Drew basically gave the game to town saying that Dutchy had targeted the madman when Dutchy had just said he was going to target soc on the previous page.

He couldn't be night killed. Couldn't be investigated. He is the only investigator, the most town-friendly role and this means nobody can discover him via night actions. His investigate is always correct as it cannot be blocked or redirected. Has a fake PM that is not in the list of roles.

All he'd have to do to prevent being meta'd is claim to be the investigator, which is true. The only real threat imo was the auto-lynch, which was then a 1/17 chance at picking the right dude on day 1 anyway, but it lolsworthingly got used on KTF.

soc played like soc always does, well and hard to read, but honestly I don't think he had to do much besides say he was an investigator and kill off the women so he's left with only males he can pin the madman tag onto.

I don't know, I enjoyed the game I just felt like it was far too much in soc's favour despite the result.

 

[Jason Maher]

I figured out pretty early on that it was likely one man vs the world (what I was thinking every time I posted "Drew is trolling us"). Problem is how the heck do you figure which bastard it is? Perhaps if someone had made the leap "hey town have all the Mafia powers, perhaps the Mafia has town powers?", but no-onr ever did that I saw. In hindsight, soc's suggestion that scum were showing as town on death should have raised a red flag. That would be the most bastard of all bastard moves by a host ever, and render a win impossible. But because no-one twigged, soc was able to use it at he end to try amd get a traim going on me.

Fascinating set-up. The key was questioning what we knew.

 

[Drew-Sta]

The key was questioning what we knew.

This was a key part of it. We always say that certain powers are mafia powers. Its a type of meta although I understand the reasoning behind it.

I wanted to get people to question that.

I agree with some of what Apey said too. We chatted a month or so ago about it (which is why he didn't play - he knew the set up) and he said it had merit but was going to be hard to get to work. He was right :lol:

But I think it is always good for people to try and do things different if only for the chance to give variety.

Seeing people meta for no reason than simply their presuppositons was chuckleworthy.

 

[Apey]

Perhaps if someone had made the leap "hey town have all the Mafia powers, perhaps the Mafia has town powers?"

that's what I said to Drew during the game, that that was the most likely logic that would f**k soc over, assuming the bad guy doesn't give himself up. but it's still a huge risk to lynch your (seemingly yours) only investigator.

, but no-onr ever did that I saw. In hindsight, soc's suggestion that scum were showing as town on death should have raised a red flag. That would be the most bastard of all bastard moves by a host ever, and render a win impossible. But because no-one twigged, soc was able to use it at he end to try amd get a traim going on me.

I enjoyed this almost as much as Dutchy killing both protectors in one night. Maybe the guys who are town are actually mafia. Haha, 10/10 soc. 10/10.

Fascinating set-up. The key was questioning what we knew.

Being the jerk I am, I didn't like it to begin with but the idea definitely grew on me. I liked how it turned out.

Drew did a good job in the end, I think he just went from one extreme to another rather than maintaining middle ground. i.e no hints in the write up to practically "soc is the madman", lol.
