I think her emotions aren’t faked but I also know that doesn’t make her Town here. I’m just sort of unhappy all around but trying to keep things level here.

 

sigh.

Yeah I agree with you.  I don't think she's faking things but I do think she knows the right thing to say and she's using it a little bit.  I also think that's unfair and makes the game unpleasant, but I guess she'd say the same about me.

Between the two of you, I think you've been going way harder this game than she has. Like, by a long shot. fwiw. That really should be obvious to anyone in the game. It doesn't help my reads but I agree with Hallia that it's makes the game less fun.

IDK, I'm just being me.  Maybe mafia isn't for me if people can't stand to play with me.

I sort of think we’re chasing circles at this point.

 

Either it’s just her and we’ll figure out the others tomorrow or you forced this situation to end the game since you got miscleared.

 

Sometimes the simple answer is just the one I have to go with. I don’t like how this is unfolding and I’m ready to get it over with for better or worse.

If I'm doing this as a wolf to town hallia I'm a real jerk.  I feel like I've been pushing her as T darthe to W hally to combat her ATE, which is why I'm so annoyed with her right now.

I did unvote sooh, but that's fine.  vote hallia I can't be changing this late into things anyhow

Slanking is optional, but the mod certainly will slank. Fairly vanilla game. No complex role setup.

 

Yeah, no offense to sooh but I think it would be bastard modding to have a 2 wsolf setup.  I just was checking with the wiki.

but hally making that "im unfun" post and then saying glgl town really ticks me off. GLGL town is gameplay if she's a wolf, but then that makes that post really inappropriate, which really is the whole issue I have with here outside gameplay reasons. She wants to go as hard as she can, but gets mad when I do too.  

I think this has to be three wolves still.  I'ma sit on it for a bit.

Quick thought.  I'd love to get real answers here.  What are the odds of there being two wolves in this game? 

unvote

I get that it's -ev, but do I really have to go through another day of this?

For the love of god someone vote please.

I'd like to share something with you all.  I've been sitting on this for a day and a half now, because it solved the game for me and I really wanted there to be better conversation before addressing it.  Given my spot I know that Hallia is a wolf, so Sinister here dropped us something I like to call a #lock-clear post.  He caught Hally in a genuine slip (to his eyes, I think slips are a bad way to get reads, but still it's important for his slot to look for them at this point) and pointed it out to the chat.  This means they're never on the same team, given he is doing this on lylo in a game where Hally already has a vote on her. 

 

Barring that I'm wrong about AJ (I'll take the L before resolving there), the wolf team is hally/voodoo/tripped.  Been really waiting for you guys to talk about this for literally a day and a half and no one ever did, but I wanna get my real #solve out before any votes come in so it doesn't look OMGUS.

Like, I already solved the game.  This is the 5 minutes that the Cav's still have to play despite being down 80-134.

Can you tell your team to hammer you so we can move on?

If she were town that would be GG, fwiw.

Also, I'd like to use it to direct your vig shot.

Can you take a look at my solve post I made?  I've been really waiting to talk to ya'll about it.

I don't think it's super likely that you+verb is a thing.  I'm not sure why it's impossible?  Can you explain it to me like i'm 5?

I said it's impossible for the town to not have other power roles.  One of the most positive points in Verb's favor is that we haven't had a cop or a doc claim, and by this point of LYLO they absolutely would've.  I'm not trying to game the mod here, but I think I'm the most experienced mod on DM and I have a real depth of understanding for game balance.  The standard 12p game is cop, doc, 3 wolves, 7 town.  You take away the cop and doc and the win rates for town go down about 15%, per mafiascum discussions that they likely still have on their wiki.  That's an all vanilla game.  Vig's aren't inherently pro-town, they're utility slots.  When you balance around them you accept that you're speeding up LYLO, and that your vig in a vaccuum hits 75/25 town to wolves.  Basically, they introduce swing but half of their utility is as a named townie, and they get stronger as the game goes on.  An odd-night vig is an attempt to keep a vig from having too much control, but it's still a named townie with a swingy power.  So, you'd need another ability.  I could justify a cop or a doc, but I think a JOAT was a cool choice for a game.  It's a little less expected, and a little more exciting in terms of it's potential.  I think that cory likely would've claimed whatever ability he felt confident he used as his actual role, whether it be a cop shot or etc.  

Okay, all that ranting is to say, JOAT on its own is a good power role but it leaves the town distinctly underpowered, especially in the late game.  Most JOATs only get 1x of each of their abilities, and you'd want town to not be neutered if they lynch that person or that person gets NK'd early.  After all, in balancing a game your whole job is to keep the win rate 50/50 while introducing more foibles in the intricacy of the game.  Two named townies + a suite of abilities sounds a lot better than 1 named townie and good luck.

I'm glad to see your paragraph above this post, it shows that you can make a post more valid than "idk lol i just do things".  It's not really a post that's doing much for me since the resolution is where most others already are, but still it's good.  I do think you're PoE'd though.

I'm kind of in a dumb spot.  Based entirely on their play, I feel like darthe is more likely to be town than hallia.  I'm just having trouble making  more than one team for hallia.  

 

After reading the stuff with voodoo around hallia on the dice yeet, and then seeing voodoo try to get hallia yeeted again D2 right out of the gate...i just feel that's just not a very likely team.  even more so given voodoo's stance right now.  If he's teamed with hallia, i'd expect him to be going darthe over hallia here.  I just have a really hard time seeing newbie wolf!voodoo trying to bus his teammate 3 days in a row.  Like, is it possible, I guess???  But it just seems like really weird play.  Like the only scenario I can see it making any sense is if it's voodoo/hallia/darthe because they think voodoo/darthe can win without hallia, which seems like the dumbest team combo.  It makes zero sense for mafia!darthe who is basically town cleared to push a yeet on a teammate when he could have push it on literally anyone else who isn't a teammate.  Similarly, voodoo/hallia/AJ doesn't make a lot of sense because I don't think AJ, who was town reading hallia and then flips his read on her to a scum read to push her as a wagon D1 and put her at real risk is ever teamed with her.     

 

Which leaves me with team of hallia/SD/Verb.  Which is ~fine and works as a team, but it means verbal's claim is fake. 

 

I think darthe has had a decent number of interactions with everyone, so outside of Hallia, he could really be teamed with anyone.  if it's somehow Darthe/AJ +1 I'm never going to get there so gg.  I feel like AJ, more than anyone has been actually trying to sort out darthe and hallia, and I felt his big post on D2 felt genuine and I think he's been trending up ever since.  AJ says he thinks verbal is town because of how verbal handled the claim.  If that's true, I'm left with:

 

Darthe/Voodoo/SD

 

It gets a little more complicated if verbal's claim is fake since it would have to be:

 

Darthe/verbal/SD

Darthe/verbal/voodoo

 

Basically, I can make more ~reasonable teams for Darthe than for Hallia, but I feel better about Darthe based on game play.

 

 

 

You're missing the solve, but still it's a good post.  The only thing I disagree with is your last sentence.  Any team with me + verb is basically insanity, so no you can't make more *reasonable* teams for me than for hally.  Confirm this with any experienced player in this game, but for that to work would require there to be no other town PRs (near impossible in that scenario), in addition to everything else.

Which would make voodoo not town

Why would you being town automatically make voodoo not town?

While looking for that I realized Hally never did reply to this.

Right, not quite what I mean.  Do you think that T! Darthe has a good bead on who the remaining wolves are?

Verb here's what I said.

Verb's the only other one that would, I think.

Lol I’m gonna have to first aren’t i?

That's very clear. 

Is there anything I'm supposed to be doing here?  I honestly feel like I've said so much that it's probably negative to spam this thread much more.   On the flip side, I'm bored and I'm here.

Lol Make that 27 hours.  I really am the only thing making this game go.

I know it isn’t relieving since you don’t quite trust me, but this is going to turn out well.  I made the right shot.
