Or, what if I was the one jailed? Because ChopBam stated start of Day 2 that after Night 1 he feels a lot better about iLTS. iLTS being roleblocked again Night 2 reinforced us even further, given it was only ChopBam who had ever voted iLTS this whole game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retaliation Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 1 minute ago, Jeod said: In hindsight I should have shot shade. I wanted to fire on either of them to score some town cred. I think shooting someone else would have been an even worse play there. From my perspective it screamed as toxin trooper desperate to get his attack off before something bad happened. I'd figured scum would look at the 3 previous shots with minimal blowback on people and interpret that to mean their fine to do any of their own. My only hold up was that an Irish kill was all risk little reward. I wouldn't have to explain away that problem with a kill on someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChopBam didn't go ballistic on iLTS Day 3 (after having potentially investigated both iLTS and himself), so we remained convinced he was the jailer. We saw no other reason for iLTS's actions being blocked two nights in a row. Mind you, the second night we redirected ChopBam onto Retal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voting analysis wound up being correct, but not for the reasons I was thinking. And I pretty much included the stats in the dead doc. 46% chance Shade was Spy, 8% chance FRAYDO was Jailer, all following the math. You can't rely on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Killing_You Posted December 21, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 GAME OVER With tensions mounting, one brave soul opens fire on the one who killed the medic on the previous day. It wasn't long before the accomplices were rooted out, and they surrendered without a further fight. iLikeToSnipe, the Mutant Hijacker, has surrendered! Voe, the Chameleon Spy, has surrendered! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Congratulations to all the GDI players! Special thanks to @Nodlied, as my balance consultant for this game! ROLESI'll give my opinion on the roles and the players who played them in one go, for simplicity. LIGHT INFANTRY (Anon_Kat, Retaliation, Louis, Mojoman, Category 5 Hurricane) The five "vanilla Town" players. Pretty bog standard, a direct port of APB'S Rifle Soldiers, and I think they worked pretty well. Category 5 was the best player out of these five, but that's to be expected. Retaliation didn't do a bad job, even scumreading two scum members at the end of D2. Mojoman and Louis were chaotic elements, but surprisingly not as detrimental as it seemed. Anon_Kat, perhaps you should read some past Mafias to get a better idea of what to do and what to say. APB1 was my study guide, so perhaps you could look at that. OFFICER (Shade939) Again, copy/pasta from APB's Starshina, though it worked well here. I think Shade could've benefitted from not playing the numbers game so hard, and I think he could've claimed to save Irish (unless his weapon stuck, which it did), but ultimately, not too terrible. RIOT TROOPER (FRAYDO) This was one role that was depowered from APB Mafia, being a jailer instead of combo jailer/rolecop. Fairly balanced overall, I think, and FRAYDO not submitting his action N1 accidentally led to scum's downfall. Funnily enough, I predicted that FRAYDO would be Town's ace-in-the-hole. UMAGON (ChopBam) You know the drill. Kinda Copy/Pasta from APB's Sniper, except seeing who people visited instead of what action they took. I thought that was better balanced, and it led to some interesting situations where Chop had Snipe cleared in his mind, before using it as incriminating evidence when the time was right. MEDIC (TheIrishMan) Truth be told, this was the role I was most concerned about given APB didn't have a Town doc. But surprisingly, it didn't impact the game as much as I was worried about. Irish didn't do too bad, although claiming on the shot would've helped his case, especially if Shade backed him up. JUMPJET (OrangeP47) Orange got the secret role for this game; the JumpJet. I wasn't sure how to incorporate this unit, until I looked on the Wiki, discovered the Commuter, and decided to play around with it. I've always toyed with the idea of a role that had two different "states" it could toggle between. It was a fascinating experiment. Too bad Scum used neurotoxing on the one night Orange would've been vulnerable to it. CHAMELEON SPY (Voe) Yet again ported over from APB's Spy, though I wasn't sure if APB Spy doubled as a rolecop or not. I left it out this time since Town had no rolecop of their own, and it likely would've given Scum too many tools to work with. Maybe I'll restore the ability next game, maybe I won't. Depends on how I feel. As for Voe, I honestly thought he would've been in a good position to win until Snipe misplayed his hand. TOXIN TROOPER (Jeod) Scum's hyperlethal role, this was also a bit of an experiment. See, it was a unique brand of unstoppable kill in that it resolved before any other action rather than simply punching through roleblocks and doctor abilities. This would've been critical for killing the JumpJet before it took off and became the only role ingame immune to it, while also guaranteeing an early kill. Overall, I think this experiment was a marginal success. MUTANT HIJACKER (iLikeToSnipe) This was a strange one, as I'm not sure how well it fits into the overall balance considering it failed both nights. Snipe played the part well for the most part, however assuming his action failing was due to being blocked led to his downfall. Truth be told, I wasn't sure how to handle the action resolution initially, and the decision to report the action as a simple failure was advice I took from Nodlied. CONCLUSIONOverall, despite some odd issues here and there, I'm willing to call this a success. It was refreshing to see the conversations revolve around scumhunting more than mechanics. I also think my approach was successful, as I was deliberate in keeping information to a minimum, particularly with action resolutions. I also think the element of uncertainty was at just the right level; having just enough information to get the conversation going, but not so much that players could latch onto something with 100% certainty Like Secret Invasion and Netflix Basics, this game ended D3 with a Town victory. Unlike those games, I think this went over well. I look forward to running TSR 2 sometime next year. And with this format, setup will be easy. If someone else wants to go first, though, be my guest. Until then, I'll be ready and waiting. CVC AT THE TOP WILL HAVE LINKS TO THE DOCS AND MASTER SPREADSHEET 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retaliation Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Would have been too late to claim cop. The winning play there is to appeal to my desire to not win with math and argue better than Shade/Louis. It would have been a long shot, but possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the scum doc, but it looked like Jeod might be going down anyway. If he claimed cop and baited the real cop, that'd at least be some utility before dying. His execuition just had some missteps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
