Paradox Hazard - GAME OVER - MAFIA VICTORY!

I mean the emotions were real lol. i just lied for the exact reason. i felt like i was digging my team into the grave and was stressing about it. which is why i wanted out of that conversation. my intention was never to make you feel bad about it

You think i would kill you ;-;

well

thatā€™s the last the time anyone ever trusts me on this website

GG

Meta reads get people killed for no good reason.

If I have some bad things to say, you are tunneling, unpredictable.

It just means youā€™ll be unreasonably tinfoiled in your next towngame, and then itā€™ll go back to normal afterwards.

Was SirDerpsAlot in the dream by chance?

Some commentary before I forget:

While I generally thought the game was well run, I had an issue with how the mod error around user Someone was handled. The fact that it was publicly announced in-thread while he was talking about it in-thread would have, if I were town, acted as immediate confirmation to me he was telling the truth about his claim and was therefore town. I was very very lucky that none of the town seemed to pick up on this.

I donā€™t know that thereā€™s a good solution to this (beyond ā€œjust donā€™t make errorsā€ which isnā€™t exactly tenable, especially in a mechanically complex game), butā€¦if itā€™s not public info i feel like it shouldnā€™t be publicly revealed.

Regardless, big thanks to @Zone_Q11 and @CRichardFortressLies for hosting, I had a lot of fun!

I think I had another thought, but I just woke up and am still groggy and donā€™t remember most of what I was thinking. Iā€™ll see if it comes to me in a bit.

Right - the mylo announcement on Day 4

while I get why this sort of thing is done to prevent town from thinking they have more MLs than they do, in particular with this type of game it could be used to guess info about peopleā€™s roles (even if those assumptions might not necessarily be correct).

iā€™m also not the biggest fan of locked votes in this scenario - i think when thereā€™s more possible options and one wrong vote from town doesnā€™t end the game people shouldnā€™t necessarily be forced to stick to one vote. i think itā€™s very antitown overall in a situation that is already very difficult for town. I donā€™t think it decided the outcome here (even without bystanderā€™s vote, I think I could have gotten town to vote wherever I wanted), but it certainly would have made life a lot harder for us. I was pretty all-in and couldnā€™t afford to have Hazard die and bystander and Ash were both closing in on him. Despite the outcome, this was a close game and the town gave me a good scare on multiple occasions.

oh yeah, I liked the anticlaim mechanic, even though my team was so, so, SO bad at using it - which is also a testament to how town played well at making it hard to guess their roles! I thought at the start of the game ā€œThis is FoL, half of the game will out their roles by Day 2ā€, but no, people played really well with making their roles hard to guess. But even without us getting [3rR0r], the mechanic is quite powerful, as it let us functionally do a guessing rolecop and learn what roles were not in the game - because there were no town jailkeepers I knew I could safely claim that role and I thought it worked well with the theme (technically I was going for Alien but didnā€™t get specific about it)

overall I thought that aspect was really fun and challenging.

One of my worst virtues is probably the fact that I am being too truthful. When I make an error, I like to report it and disclose it as much as possible without altering the gamestate.

Locked votes in XYLO is a thing I have always been using for the longest of time. There was no particular reason behind locked votes in MYLO. I have now seen two feedback stating confusion or discomfort regarding this matter, and I donā€™t mind not locking votes in MYLO, so Iā€™ll try to remember to do this in my future setups.

Iā€¦tend to townside kind of hard. My feeling was it would improve my status in the game. At the time I thought people might have been so tunneled on you that you would get executed anyway, and I would look good for white knighting you. I didnā€™t anticipate momentum shifting to Marluna and regretted it a bit after. As it turns out there were no protectives so marluna wasnā€™t necessary to keep alive but we didnā€™t know that at the time

Itā€™s not as bad as the Trumpeter 3 mod error tbh.

Wonā€™t lie dude that play solidified you in my towncore
I had quite a bit of paranoia on you at points but kept coming back to ā€œbut why tf save Ash and vote Marluna with me???ā€ so wp lol

i empathize with this so hard - i have been there quite a few times. It sucks, and Iā€™m not sure thereā€™s a lot you can do (I still havenā€™t figured out an answer). Hugs. Hopefully next time is better.
