Elements Mafia 78 - by serprex

[serprex]

Root kinda let slip that he was faking claims when he implied I gave back "British" on check on www3. Rules state you can investigate corpses; indeed, timpa did just that. But then Root changed his story & nobody called him out on it

Amusingly town made a big mistake by killing Mobian D1. Making it cult vs town is just losing (imagine Root doesn't whiff N1 by targeting www3..)

Near as I can tell, town has two strategies:

- kill a cultist & then work with their cult, because cult vs cult bigger cult just wins; smaller cult must cooperate with town
- kill a townie, which means one less person who might be recruited instead of you

But don't kill cult leaders. They're your ticket to a feasible win condition

Which is to say, this format was excessively troll

(I may've screwed up by not having this grind out, for example by having final three oa/root/shock (which tbf ends with cult win on daybreak after Root targets Oa), but this game got thrown out the window when the no cult leader vote emerged, since it would effectively give town a bunch of extra lynches)

[kaempfer13]

but the spirit of the game is to play for your faction, though i did stretch that a bit by withholding reads during night phases. Ofc the game was horribly unbalanced. Also town can win unfeasibly by killing cult leaders by day3 (good luck getting the loser cultists to lynch a leader though)

Also i considered the british joke the same as the my homework joke. Link failed to specify the result of what he wanted.

Yuh nice! Will write a longer post when I'm free later tonight

Imagine thinking I was a lonely cultist...

Also looks like root used my setup perfectly, converting andre.

Glad I was able to worldbuild with kaempfer and at least get him to take his vote off. Too bad there was not one, but two very cringeworthy halves to the actual world. Root being troll enough to pick shock w3, and Mobian being Mobian.

Even if my worlds were wrong, my individual reads were right in the final moments. Kae and coolkid were town, andre was cultist who spent the whole day trying to figure out wtf was going on, and either Root or Oa was leader because they didn't even try at the end. I dragged this game back to a 1/7 chance to win and I'm happy with that.

This might be the best quote in the thread.

Acurate

A world that I thought plausible was

MW: shock, w3
kae: w3, MW, me

But I didn't put if forward for obvious reasons

[serprex]

btw, this joke got MW to put together a format that's pretty much ready to go, so hopefully MW posts sign ups for that by next week & end of April / start of May you'll have a game without a bastard mod
