euklyd Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Question 14: The game is in LYLO and you're one of the last players left in the game. What are your thoughts on making it to LYLO as town? What are your thoughts as scum? As town: "I'm still alive...crap." As scum: "WHERE ARE MY BUDDIES?" Alternatively both parts of this: Town LYLO: "So it appears I'm actually terrible at this game" Scum LYLO: "Please don't be Loved" For the current question, I've talked about it enough in scumchat but I never get around to doing so because town really hasn't put us in a position where it would be very useful. EDIT: If I needed to I would probably (attempt to) bus the buddy I could make a case on without flip-flopping completely unbelievably. Or Refa; I've always wanted to actually bus him.

Prims Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) I bus pretty much when I feel like it and don't bus when I don't. I prefer bussing early to bussing late because even though the latter is better in most scenarios, an early bus lets you coast for a while and also when it's 5p LYLO or whatever I just want the game to end rather than trying to bus my buddy for a win in 3p.just wanted to remind you how much you suck for villains 2 D2 Edited May 31, 2014 by Prims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prims Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 real answer: bussing in forumafia sux but on EM it's my only way of winning except for that really cool game where i buddied xinny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhaltz Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I'd bus SB. Idk I like to keep a variety of interactions with my buddies when I'm mafia so that scum!meta doesn't screw up my teams. Sure, even if you have a bussing scum meta you can still try to WIFOM, but some players don't automatically discard things just because they could be WIFOM and are probably going to catch on eventually.

Junk Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I believe it has been 24 hours? Question 16 What is you favourite format of mafia and why? format(chat,forum,irc,etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Forum Mafia; I haven't really played any other forms besides EpicMafia (which is really fun, but not quite the same also it makes me rage more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refa Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Basically getting your scumbuddies lynched to make yourself look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaze Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Ah. Depends on the scum buddy. If they are especially bad at the game, they're gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDRHAWK Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Ah. Depends on the scum buddy. If they are especially bad at the game, they're gone. I actually kinda disagree. If they're just playing badly and garnering some unwanted attention that way, they can be coached behind the scenes; whereas if they're genuinely looking scummy, that's when they're best bussed. Like in Healer, Eury was playing badly at first and getting people on her, but then she picked a 1v1 with one of the few people she couldn't do so with since their claims (Watcher for Eury, Stungun for Shinori) were so similar, so she looked super-scummy and ended up lynched.

eclipse Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Forum mafia! It's easier to lie when I have time to think about what I want to say and how I want to say it. . .it's also easier to tell the truth, too, and I'm less likely to snap at people for whatever reason.

Sunwoo Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Forum mafia, I don't think I've played any other kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsuki Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 It really depends on how involved the people who you play with are and what you feel like doing at the moment. If I feel like taking the game seriously it's forum mafia > IRL mafia > Epicmafia (those are the 3 types I've played), but if I don't the best is Epicmafia. IRL mafia can be awesome when you're playing with people who actually think about who they are voting, but if there are too many people it's way too hard to keep track of all of them. Also, when people don't actually care about the game, which is most of the time, it's impossible to scumhunt and scum tend to always win. It used to be my favourite kind of mafia even after I played two forum mafia games, but then I played my third game with people who actually took mafia seriously and changed my opinion. Maybe I would change my opinion back if I played IRL mafia with people who were as motivated as me, though. Epicmafia is always so fun, but I think it's hard to scumhunt with information other than roles because of its format. Roles also make it way too townsided, winning as scum is so hard...

This but without the IRL mafia; haven't played it. Except that EpicMafia in the "official" lobbies has always been aggravating for me, so I prefer private games.

Shadoweh Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) This just in, forum mafia players prefer forum mafia tomorrow we dig deepr and ask gays how they feel about gay marriage also stop slacking and post more questions, im looking forward to making a giant questions post wall Edited June 3, 2014 by Shadoweh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoz Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Honestly, this is progressing kind of slowly and since Prims more or less disappeared from the topic, I feel like it might be more "productive" if we got started on that The Well topic he mentioned in HQ. ftr, The Well was a series of threads on smogon where people would vote for a person to be interviewed, then that person would post a short introduction of themself then answer questions for a week Assuming people would actually want to have a thread like that of course.

Vhaltz Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) I like forum mafia the best because it generally requires more people skills and less rolepuzzle-solving skills than EM. That said epicmafia with the people here is also very fun, mostly due to the mix of unearthly setups, fooling around like dumbs and actually playing the game. Winning as survivor in Australia is priceless. IRL mafia is more meh, like Mitsuki said people tend to not take it very seriously and barely scratch the surface of mafia logic the way it is usually used in forum mafia. It's fun in the very rare occasions when you gather people who do take it seriously. EDIT: Also since there are no questions around I might as well ask. Aimed at those who dislike rolling vanilla town, why? Is it just rolling vanilla in role madness setups or is it bothersome to not roll some kind of power role in general? (Shadoweh is not required to answer this question for obvious reasons) Edited June 3, 2014 by Vhaltz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I dislike rolling vanilla town simply because I feel it's less "exciting". Even rolling a power role that has no actions (such as PGO or nexus) or a power role that's pretty much worthless (courier) seems "better" to me than rolling vanilla town, mainly because I just feel more motivated. I guess I can't explain it. Another reason I dislike vanilla town is because my alignment never wins when I roll it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_ Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm fine with rolling VT because it means nothing really changes when I die. It's more irritating to me rolling a weak role in role madness than it is getting an outright VT in a non-role madness game :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prims Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Honestly, this is progressing kind of slowly and since Prims more or less disappeared from the topic,yeah after I flaked multiple times I just felt like it'd be weird trying to continue it.

Paperblade Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 You should change the title to "Mafia Question of the Day - LYLO" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsuki Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Well, rolling vanilla feels like rolling the least special thing you could be. @Shadoweh: I've played way more IRL mafia than forum mafia and for a longer period of time (altough now I hardly ever play), and I prefer forum mafia.

Grace Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 tbh VT suits my playstyle so rolling it is gr8 it also means im not mafia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
