KotZ Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Late in the night, Santa tried to determine Eloise's stance on the Naughty or Nice list due to her being lynched. When he got his answer, unfortunately, the child had expired. So he did as any good person would do, and buried the orphan, right in the graveyard attached to the Home of Misfit Children. Scott had been laid to rest there, too, as had others over the years. When morning came, Santa gathered the three children left. He looked at each, a twinkle in his eye and said. "Well, you all picked wrong, Eloise was on the Nice List!" Gasps! Had they been bamboozled? Had they been grinched and hoodwinked? But if Eloise was not evil, then, well, Cindy-Lou-Who was? "Hands up, old man," Susan ordered. Santa, surprised looked to the others. "I told you she was bad and she wasn't lynched? What the-" "Ah put a sock in it," Susan said. "Now let's not be too hasty, Susan," the old man replied. "Besides, you'll shoot your eye out with that thing!" "I've been practicing!" But Santa, the magical man he was, was not out of tricks yet. "Well, Susan, you got me. But there's one problem... there's only one of you!" "Not so fast!" someone shouted with glee. And there it was, the second person on the Naughty List team. It was Clark, with an axe that gleamed. "There's no way out," Clark said. "We've got the toys, the list, and it was sealed with the lynch on Day 3!" "Wait, were you recruited?" asked George. "No," Clark answered, "I've been Naughty the whole time." So off Santa went, with little George in tow. Maybe a new town game would be good for this child to grow. So Susan and Clark gathered their toys, no longer sharing with the other girls and boys. And now Santa knew when he came to this town, only these two would get gifts due to this shakedown. Congrats to the Naughty List team, Clark (Bob) and Susan (mostlytechnic!)

I hope you all had fun! This was a really exciting game to manage and watch play out, and I think everyone had some really good moments. I'll have full thoughts up later on everything, but great game everyone!
Trekkie99 Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Wow gg scum! Still surprised there were two scum! @Classic_Spaceman I'm quite surprised you moved your vote off @mostlytechnic when you were the publishing cop. My self vote was tactical. I wanted to take advantage of the possibility of a even night kill. Assuming one scum, I was willing to sacrifice myself so mostlytechnic would have to go day four, otherwise it could have been me getting lynched day four. Of course last minute I changed my mind only for Bob to hammer. So unless mostlytechnic was the only scum and/or if classic_spaceman decided to town read me, there was no way to win this.
Trekkie99 Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Quote I actually think trekkie’s experience with mafia elsewhere is hurting the town From the mafia pt. Very true I think. Yup. MafiaScum has definitely broken me lmao.
Bob Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 I’m so sorry Classic_Spaceman! It was very refreshing to play mafia again! It’s a shame we couldn’t get more people, but next time I’ll try to frontpage it. I think I’m allowed to do it, but I’m not sure and I never have.
Tariq j Posted December 20, 2024 Posted December 20, 2024 Great game everyone! It was fun playing mafia again.

I tried playing on mafiascum long ago, after I'd been playing here for years. I hated it :) Just such a different experience, felt very contrived and overly logical since you were playing with strangers and there was no roleplaying stuff like here to get the conversation started. 4 hours ago, Tariq j said: Great game everyone! It was fun playing mafia again. Amen! Agree a ton and yes it was fun. Been a while and to be honest, I felt really dumb a lot of the time. Like covid-brain has slowed me down even on this ;)
KotZ Posted December 23, 2024 Author Posted December 23, 2024 Ok, finally got a chance to write down my thoughts, travel and family stuff and all. I'm lucky the game ended when it did; I would have had to take a lot of photos before I traveled for a variety of scenarios depending on how Day 3 went if there was no lynch. Once again, thank you all for playing. This was a fun one to watch and run, and it's been too long since we had a game on here. Overall, I think everyone played a very solid game, especially Bob. That was a masterclass game. I felt so bad for Classic_Spaceman, especially when you looped me in on the PMs with Bob. Don't get me wrong, I liked seeing that from a gamerunning perspective, but oh boy I felt so bad seeing Bob get you like that. I don't think you even did anything wrong, your logic was sound throughout. The no lynches for the first two days really helped the scum this go around, imo. With a game that small, it definitely can swing the game early on. With how quiet Day 1 is, I wonder if in any future games, if we need something to kick the game off. Not necessarily a random reveal, but something. Thak you, Tariq J for chatting on the deadboard and not ghosting, it was great seeing it play out with you. As for Trekkie, you did a good job as well, but as Tariq and I said in the deadboard, you admitting here, and I think on previous games, your experience with MafiaScum games hurt you here. There's certainly an EB meta, even after all this time and less players than back in the heyday. It's kind of funny seeing how that happens. You're a solid player and have a style when you play, it's always fun when you're in!
