watch shinori not get picked anyway or me :(

hey rein raocow, 17 players do it you hideous cock

ahaha besuto thread even though I don't understand most of them Eclipse's avatar was Fubuki all along? Hopy shit.

itt serenes forest can't spot a troll as usual

you posted nothing of value, then wasted a lynch and a town slot what in this is advantageous

oh your anonymous invitational game :T :T

and I like to think myself an authority on that because I just did a postgame on something with a day 1 that lasted over thirty pages before Rein posted his little ISO trick in headquarters (seriously IP.Board why is all your functionality hidden somewhere between two hundred feet underground and the fucking void) I don't know what I would have done had you survived longer so don't do it again

Higurashi's over and Carnival is functionally over so the mid slot should be open.

that's not a good thing

entire town is watchertrackers entire mafia is ninjas

don't run ~ath files

Since I'm probably going to be putting a lot of my productive energy towards learning to code soon, now's a good a time as any to talk about this. I have an idea for a starting project, something I wish existed but can't find. I've conceived a mafia organiser/database tool. The basic idea is to have a program that can hold an entire game thread and whatever other relevant stuff exists - yes, I won't learn crazy things like how to make the program rip data straight from the forum for a good while so you're going to have to paste everything in manually - but the trade off is you'll have access to specialised search functions, sort of like the forum ones except not completely useless for mafia purposes. On top of posts being categorised by player and phase, I'll add a tag system so you can pick exactly what you want to see. Isolating a player's posts is easy. Better still, tell the program to omit all posts you tagged as fluff; it's now possible to get a fucking read on Blitz. Read an entire topic of discussion without posts on other topics getting in the way. Shamwow does it all. Essentially it's a tool for people like me who are usually really unorganised, but I'm confident anyone would be able to find a use for it. Only problem is the horrible amount of time it'd take to get the data into the program to begin with... Would you be interested in something like this? Does something like this already exist? Any ideas to deal with the data input issue? Should I just wait until I learn how to make it read the thread automatically? Opinions go.

I feel validated. I can't say I didn't consider Strawman for scumvp, but I just wasn't feeling it. I may have done it if the mafia won, but no luck there. Oh well.

oh shit oh shit i finished it i finished something again if you want more let me know idgaf we'll see Individual Performance Rein: Didn't post much, seemingly through a combination of injury, illness and being Rein, but was generally on the ball all around. Ended up on a lot of bandwagons and was more correct in his suspicions as the game progressed. He was definitely a couple steps ahead of a lot of the other players. JB: Didn't seem to be paying much attention early on, and focused much of his pressure on whoever was stupidest at the time, not really a reliable way of finding the mafia. If I'm to be honest, I think he was confusing judgemental tendencies for actual reads. When that died down, he didn't seem to have any strong opinions, and was confused sometimes, which may have been a product of him being busy with school. By the time he began appearing on the ball, what was left of the game wasn't really that hard to figure out. Eclipse: She's Eclipse. Posts summaries, scolds everyone in a motherly way, keeps people active and on their toes, is the best cop. There was no stopping her following her investigation of Kaoz. If I'm to critique her play, I'd say that she focuses a bit too hard on activity levels. She's also a filthy drunk. Town MVP. Core: More difficult to get a read on this guy. He posted a fair bit of good content, and appears to have some slightly alternative ideas about scumhunting? Despite his well-founded logic, he had a humorous tendency to be wrong. He got way too caught up in the 13th debacle, which is surely what jammed his scumdar and ultimately got him shot. Bizz and Snike: Nightmare was the only reason Bizz didn't withdraw her signup. She was as invested in the game as that fact would lead you to believe. She consistently acted preoccupied and tired, if you ask me, and yet still managed to have a better grasp of the earlygame than the vast majority of the other players, if not all of them. Sadly, she subbed out during Day 2. Snike subbed in for Bizz, said some crazy shit, shot two townies, then got killed by Sho. But seriously, he took charge during the weird claim party with the independents and tried to get the game back on track. Unfortunately he decided he was going to try to find Odin - who was Sho, who wasn't about to go back on a claim, so that didn't get anyone anywhere. I don't really see anything amounting to a significant opinion from him, save a desire to get rid of 13th. Guys, you're not going to find scum by getting caught up trying to rationalise a lynch of the persuader who claimed fool and then went back to his original claim. Some things just mean nothing. Shinori and Kaoz: Shinori did nothing before he subbed. He weighed in a little on the 13th issue, but... that doesn't mean much when you're mafia. I don't even have a quote for this guy. Kaoz came in and quickly got the mafia on track. He was active in the thread, posting very logical things. I question his decision to encourage a Sho lynch, since keeping Sho around so he could keep spouting bullshit could be, and was, a good way to keep the town distracted. It didn't last the phase though, he proceeded to advocate a lynch of a handful of other people. He probably would have won the game for his faction had he not been caught out by Eclipse, who he intentionally spared on Night 1 for the sake of a more interesting game. Even though the root of the mafia's defeat is on his hands, I'm going to give him Mafia MVP. Nightmare: His posts were sparse, but to the point and insightful. Nightmare's play was concise, easy to follow, and frankly pleasant. His reads were... inconsistent. He could stand to add some conviction, though. His reasoning could have been stronger and I don't feel he had much of a presence, if you know what I mean. A misstep made him the only townie to be killed by Strawman's role. Play a game with me sometime, ないとめあ君。 Kay: Being Kay, she didn't post much. Her early posts seemed to be more pro-town than the townies, interestingly enough. Essentially her posts were fairly sound and helped promote a town image for herself, but it seems she didn't fool the more quiet players, and Iris caught her out with her role in a particularly unlucky way. This basically guaranteed the mafia's loss. No quote because Kay never says anything colourful. Rapier: I have a lot of problems with how Rapier played. I can see him being noncommittal, unconfident and self-contradictory, going Super Tunnel Brothers and making odd leaps of logic in a bunch of places. More or less drove the game in the same pointless direction until he himself was accused, then he started acting smug and annoying. Then he died... also, Freudian slips. Blitz: The guy who spoke a lot yet said very little. He often posted multiple times per page and contributing nothing in any of them, and his suspicions seemed to revolve entirely around activity (and perceived defensiveness towards inactive players). I know he didn't survive past Day 1, but he really never said anything meaningful. (he said that three times) Iris: Everybody's favourite votaler. Actually, that's the majority of what she did... I'm kind of surprised that nobody really had a negative read on her despite the fact that she posted exceedingly little content. I suppose everyone was just preoccupied with a certain trio. She took a neutral stance on most of the earlygame issues, which was the correct answer, though she never pushed much. In the end, she found Kay with her role, completely countering the janitor ability. This alone would make her Town MVP if only Eclipse wasn't here, but instead I'll give her the gold sports prize for bowling a wicked googly with her crystal ball. Eclipse shouldn't have taught her Facepalm-fu. Strawman: Strawman, the best townie. No wait, he was scum. My favourite thing about Strawman's play is that things would have been a lot easier for the town if they had taken his advice in the thread. I think we can count this as evidence that playing a completely pro-town game (in the thread) as scum may be a viable strategy, because it wins you townpoints while the dumb players ensure that your insight is never acted upon. Unfortunately, this apparently isn't the best tactic when you want as many townies to target you as you can get; only Nightmare died this way and Eclipse was under JB's protection. 13th: the worst player in the town If anything characterises how 13th played, it's how he spent too much time defending himself in a depressing way. His reads felt... eroded, probably because he didn't care much. Despite all this, Night 4 came around and he was suddenly on the ball... then Snike killed him. Shame. And remember kids, never claim when you're high. No quote because he was being too depressing for most of the game to say anything funny. Sho: nope ...okay, fine Sho's attitude had him on the verge of being lynched all game. Since he was the wolf, this was not a good thing and guaranteed that he was going to die as soon as the town ran out of obvious lynch targets. There's really not much else to say... he did do one thing well, though. Apparently, he managed to make his fakeclaim in such a way that not one person took notice of the fact that he was taking all of his cues from Rapier's very timid and gradual claim. Maybe it was just because nobody wanted to read his posts any more than they absolutely had to. I also wonder what he intended to do when the town inevitably figured out that nobody could be Odin but him, if he had survived longer. No quote because I'm not going through 253 posts of RAEG in an attempt to find one.

"bad logic isn't necessarily scummy" thank you paperblade

So, slight change of plans. Raocow Mafia is now a 17-player game, and should be ready for checking soon.

hamtaro torrent binge time?

no thread nighttalk/no day mafiatalk makes sense in flavour and forces individuals to think for themselves as well as encouraging everyone to pay attention when it counts, going to try it in raocow

basically no sandbagging "oh I can't get torchic, minus eleventy points"

IT'S ALL TERRIBLE (and yeah none of it is Volug who I'm pretty sure is objectively more attractive than Ike or Soren but fangirls are weird, so...) I'll just go ahead and continue not looking up Fire Emblem on google images.

They should do neither, and make a new game.

Who are these people who gauge the value of everything through its "usefulness" towards an arbitrary goal? Seriously.

'swhy I posted the thread

This is a week-long marathon in which the primary goal is to catch every single pokemon and put them onto a single cartridge (White, I think). As for event pokemon, I think they use glitches or tools where necessary, but they'll always use the legitimate method if it's available (and the method that's closest to legitimate if it's not). There'll be a lot of time left over, which they'll fill up playing spin-off games and shit like that. Plenty of information in those videos. They've even been on the news once, with a report on their Final Fantasy marathon prefaced with a picture of a guy playing Metroid with a 360 controller.
