Higurashi Mafia - Game Over! Who won?

[#HBC | Dancer]

I kept up with this game all throughout, and I gotta say that I'm both very impressed with town's performance as well as very disappointed with scum's.

Shootouts later

MVP: tHE-MAN
MVP: Kuzi
MVO: no one (will explain this later)

Any one of these three will be good.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Town Wins!

THE STREAK IS BROKEN

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

Streak was broken with Halloween Party mafia.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

i could see a MvP Kuz/Ryker thing going on.

Kuz nailed all 3 like magic.

although Gheb was obv just due to PoE and his sloppy cases

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Streak was broken with Halloween Party mafia.

boooooo

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Ryker this, that

haters

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

Plus that whole cop guilty thing probably didn't hurt.

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

Sword I thought you were indie.

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

Really?

Why?

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I remember ryker wanting you dead too
Dun remember why

i was like wtf hes way too vocal to kill in thos stage in any situation anyways

 

[SangfroidWarrior]

I'm happy with who I chose to track. N1 I tracked Ori because of my dislike of him. Didn't want to track Gheb becuase he was either dumb or scum to me since he was just acting so badly. I tracked RR N2 because of suspicion on him and, when I got that he went nowhere and yet he got scum on Ori I was confused, which led me to tracking him N3 and getting that he visited Kuzi. All in all, my first time as tracker went pretty well.

Good job to tHe-Man for figuring that their role was insane cop. I was confused why they got guilty on Gheb and yet he was the godfather. Never would have thought of them being insane.

I give props to everyone as well but J would like me to point out that he did have a lot of correct reads D1. He had Balatro as scum (but not necessarily mafia), he had Joey v Gheb as TvS, and he had Ori.

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

I noticed that a lot of your foses and attention were going explicitly to newer player slots. I thought that gave you the appearance of scumhunting while ignoring being too big of a target from more experienced players. Also I thought that even if new players were the target of your FoS, you still wouldn't attract a night kill if they were partnered with someone more experienced who wanted to prioritize their own safety. I didn't mind you living though because you put pressure on new player slots and gave out reads.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Yeah J was legit

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

All i knew watching this game was Auspher, Acrostic, JO_OEY and Felipe were obvious town.

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

This was not my best game, I will not lie. I got lazy with reading people and forced scumpicks. The only thing I really did accurately was read townies, with the exception of Gheb.

I did genuinely believe J was scum, anyone else whom I may of accused I was not totally sold on.

 

[SangfroidWarrior]

I did not have felipe as obvTown at all. No offense dude, and I really feel like playing with you again, but this time was just way too... odd for me.

 

[Asdioh]

I knew the setup from the beginning so I can't say anything.

I was pretty impressed with Kuz when he called out the entire scumteam, though. I haven't read most of D1/D2, so I'm not sure how he got there.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

i've played with felipe at EM, he's inconsistent as scum and town he just derps all over.

albeit the fact he claimed doctor....

 

[SangfroidWarrior]

I mean before that. He probably wouldn't have had to claim if he didn't act so scummy on a gambit. But, it all worked out in the end.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

I didnt like joey that much, but looking back its probly just because he wasnt playing optimally.

I wanna go with another hydra next game, gunn ask around sometime

 

[#HBC | Red Ryu]

I dislike my play in this game a lot.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

tbh i think town woulda won even without help of tHE-Man and his copping powers.

but they still deserve it.

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

This was not my best game, I will not lie. I got lazy with reading people and forced scumpicks. The only thing I really did accurately was read townies, with the exception of Gheb.

I did genuinely believe J was scum, anyone else whom I may of accused I was not totally sold on.

You still contributed a lot though and double confirmed Auspher as being dumb town for me.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

I dislike my play in this game a lot.

It wasn't bad at all, Gheb kinda revealed you a bit via his lynch.

 

[SangfroidWarrior]

RR, your play wasn't bad, per se. You were just kind of unlucky with the way things played out.

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Biggest kuddos this game too

acro for pleasantly surprising me with his play
swords for being a legit info leak
j for showing his townside, i 100% disagreed with his lynch tbh
kuz but i dont like you so meh (<3)

and ofc ryker for being awesometier partner!

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

We targetted rr n3 @JTB

 

[#HBC | Nabe]

boooooo

yeeeeaaaaaah

 

[JTB]

Mod Notes:

- The SK was given watcher as a means to find scum. This wasn't used at all since he died N1.
- Cop was supposed to be a plus for scum. I added the godfather in for when the cop realizes he is insane so that town can't win just off a 'follow the cop' routine. However, Gheb being targeted N1 was the worst thing that could happen.
- Felipe's claims about Takano Miyo being scum and him not saving the SK N1 with his protect made me realize that flavor can be taken too seriously, so that's something I'll keep in mind for the future.
- Mafia's choice to kill Balatro N1 was awful and I'm extremely disappointed in this. Killing a weaker/non-existent player because they have no connections when the doc claimed D1 and power players like Ryker/Kuz in the game? Terrible reasoning.
- Disappointed that Swiss didn't get a chance to really play. I was really looking forward to seeing what he could pull off under a new account, but that didn't happen.

As for the setup, I feel like town would've been too strong if the game came to a massclaim phase, so I'm glad that the game was won for town because of good play. I enjoyed using this flavor for a mafia game since most characters could go be either alignment and still work with their flavor.

 

[Asdioh]

>link the shion torture scene in sword's role pm

poor guy


Akasaka should have been Town Window Puncher

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

wait
wait

swiss was in this?

as who?

._.

 

[Asdioh]

Balatro was Swiss.

"Are you watching, Nii-nii? Satoko has become this much stronger!"

Screw that, Satoko's quote should have been "I won't let you have that hamburger!"

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

The flavor led me to believe we were insane pretty early on. Wasnt sure til the godfather flip though.

We really wanted to cop Gheb though, it wasn't dumb luck, but Gheb couldn't know we were insane.
Insanity actually helped a lot here, haha.

 

[Asdioh]

Godfather: By careful manipulation of the village, no one suspects you to be the true mastermind behind the death of Rika in every world. If investigated by a cop, your results will be treated that of a normal townie.

huehuehuehue

 

[th3kuzinator]

Yay. Gheb stop being so transparant when you bus people. I had a scun read on you going into D2 but I pinned RR entirely off your interaction with him.

Ori was just obvscum when I re-read.

 

[Asdioh]

Ori_Bro (Ryugu Rena, Mafia Ninja) has been captured by the village (aka lynched)!​

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2l19qWBbrE

ok i'm done

 

[#HBC | Dancer]

You still contributed a lot though and double confirmed Auspher as being dumb town for me.

Thank you. Day 1 I wasn't really able to get any reads on anyone, so I was actually trying to get some information out instead, in hopes that something will pop up to use later. It's pretty much the same thing I did in Kingmaker Day 1, where I pretty much had already decided my shot early on, but reserved giving out who I was going to shoot for the means of having other people take stances without being corrupted by my thoughts.

Anyways, time for shootouts!

Joey: I honestly don't remember to much from your slot. I do remember getting into a little battle with you early on, and I do remember that you seemed to contribute a lot late into Day 1, so props to that. Just watch that TM bias, next time, lol.

TM: The way you guys did things threw me for a loop Day 1. Since I was dealing with Ryker, I approached you guys catiously. I caught some glances of you guys actually taking into account things from multiple angles early on which I def. liked. That huge lynch pool out of nowhere later into Day 1 really kinda the me though.

Anyways though, great stuff investigating all three mafia in a row. The Gheb investigation was definitely a good idea, and I can see why you would want to investigate him. The Kuz gambit was questionable, but it got you what you needed, so in the end that was also probably the right move. It was kind of a two for one deal with the investigation.

Anyways, generally really good, spot on reads on your part, and I definite canidate for MVP.

Acro: Your play this game actually kind of reminds me of my play this game, in the sense that you were more concerned about creating information to follow than immediately latching onto someone. That was probably a good idea, as Day 1 was a pretty null Day. If you remember, I actually questioned you because I thought it was suspicious how you weren't really taking that many stances, and were instead just asking questions. However IIRC TM put your play in a perspective which I could read as townie, so good job overall being such a team player.

Tanny: I honestly don't remember much of your play, which is probably do do the fact that you simply weren't here too much of the game. Good read on Ori, though, you really brought out an obvious scum to light which I feel a lot of people missed (not me though ).

CK: Uhhh, you were inactive. Shame, because I know that you're a really smart guy, I just wish that I could of witnessed your intelligence first hand.

Kuz: Holy **** dude, those reads. You just beasted scum, it was like watching that time on AIM all over again, were you just laid out the scum in PF for me one by one. You were kinda lazy with those cases there, tbh. Since you knew that you were going to die soon, you wanted your reads remembered. Understandable, but if you truly wanted them remembered than you probably should have made a case against your scum picks. People would of probably followed you more likely (if it came down to that) post death that way. I'm nitpicking though, otherwise this was a seriously great performance on your part, and you're a MVP pick right up there with TM.

TBH I actually had a nasty hunch about you going into Day 2 (ask JTB, he knows), so it's probably a good thing I died when I did, lol.

RR: Decent play Day 1, terrible play afterwards. The things you did and the way you did them were ********. The bus on Gheb wasn't a bad idea, persay, but the way you went about it was bad bad bad. Even worse is that once Kuz was on to you you completely lost your wits and counterclaimed cop, which was quite possibly the worst thing you could of done in that situation. By doing so, you brought attention upon yourself, and made yourself a prime target for investigation, as well as other Night actions. The best thing you could of done was simply claim vt, and push elsewhere, but by claiming cop you doomed yourself along with your already doomed partner, Gheb.

Live and learn dude.

---

Alright, gotta go do some homework, I'll finish these shootouts later.

 

[th3kuzinator]

Agreed I was lazy. Apologies.

 

[felipe_9595]

Gg guys, my gambit was bad xD

Also, maf, why you didnt kill me N1 !!!?? I am still choked by that, did you thought i was too scummy to kill me ??? i dont know what you were thinking xD

Also, lulz for protecting Ryker n1, i love you ryker <3

XDDDDD
