The Original Rand:

Mafia

Geyde - Mafia Role Cop
orangeandblack5 - Mafia Roleblocker
Solic - Mafia Goon

Town PRs

Icibalus - Town Motion Detector
Vulgard - Town Doctor
sulit - Town 1-Shot Vigilante

This went from a strong scum rand to a very townsided rand, and I apologize again that we had to re-rand.

And yes,
The entire first-rand scumteam became PRs in the new rand. lol

Honestly I have no right to be mad about this but I’m still upset that you didn’t just concede when the game was mechlocked because it would have saved all of us a lot of time

but hey it was well played so genuinely good job

Im so sorry Arete!

i wrote this on D4 and never used it cause ici didnt CC me

im rescinding the vig claim because it’s probably unhealthy to not rescind by D4 regardless of whether or not ici goes with it

i said why i did it when i claimed it, if arete is a villager i needed them to view the game from a less narrow point of view

them continuing to antagonize me and show such disbelief for my claim makes me think they’re exactly a wolf RBer/JKer who did RB/JK me N1 and knows my claim is fake, and knows i have to rescind it later (and it technically lines up with their N1 claim to JK me, although i question if they’d actually say they did this after actually doing it because its basically outting if im a PR?)

them pushing ici over sulit/orange backs this up too, as both sulit/orange are VT claims and ici being pushed would mean he has to CC me, which makes me look like an :joy_cat: outted wolf :joy_cat:

this is why i’ve been stressing that ici is lock V, because i knew he had to be the vig

Hi, I’m Arete, and I’m a Mafia Rolecop.

Uh, anyways, I figured I would make this wallpost to talk about this game, and explain some of the more :eyes: plays I did? Feel free to skip this if you don’t want to hear about my personal approach to the game/etc.

General Approach

In general I think most players overvalue “acting townie” as scum, and undervalue pushing agenda. (Relatedly, most players bus way too much.) That is, uh, definitely a mistake I made this game – I was too focused on trying to look like a villager, and didn’t manage to ensure that either of my partners lived past N1.

Rolling scum in this playerlist

I didn’t want to roll scum in this playerlist, for reasons that should be fairly obvious. I was … not happy … about the rerand, although I guess maybe it’s my fault for necessitating it. I tried to be positive in scumchat while it still had other people in it, because I know it’s important to keep people’s WiM up, but you can kind of see me having a breakdown as the game went on. Anyways, I spent most of this game feeling boxed in and like I had no chance, which means that you all did really well! If that’s how wolves feel, that means the village is playing well.

Conceding

I put a lot of thought on day 3 into whether I wished to concede. From my point of view, even knowing kat was lying about her claim, the game was likely to be mechanically locked unless the Bodyguard randomly decided not to protect Geyde for some reason. I ultimately decided that even if my path to victory was very narrow and possibly non-existent, I owed it to my teammates to keep trying, just in case there was technically a possible way I could win.

just imagine if I spent the same amount of time on my coursework that I spent trying to win a game that was mechlocked

PR hunting

Arete: ‘wow, I really think X seems like a VT’

Arete: ‘but what if they’re a PR, though, I should kill them’

X was Vanilla Town

Arete: surprised Pikachu face

Other Miscellaneous Things

I treated kat’s claim really weirdly because I knew it was false. Like, I literally rolecopped her as VT-or-Goon N1, and then the actual 1-shot vig decided not to CC her for some reason? But I knew that her claim was false, and I didn’t really have a graceful way to pull out of my tunnel on her (especially since I needed to be able to miselim her later).

Me CCing Mist wasn’t really planned, it was pretty spur-of-the-moment. I was hoping it would get me towncred but it didn’t really work, and may have backfired? Geyde was right when he said I was specifically appealing to my history of that sort of FPS (e.g. in the finale).

My sucky treatment of Conroy was the result of me trying to avoid TMIing him V and accidentally going too far in the other direction.

I had multiple versions of my SoD2 wallpost prepared, I posted the anti-Dat version after Dat got vigged. When orange was like ‘but Arete could have had two versions of their wallpost’ I was like :eyes: :eyes: :eyes:
