Has a perfect game ever happened before?

I think that this game has been a perfect demonstration of role claiming in action. We had a little bit of luck with our lynch picks, but we were open about our plans in thread and with everyone coming forward, we were able to narrow our options down well. Sometimes luck would go against us and the calls wouldnt go our way, but this time, it worked to perfection.

I don't think outside of my last game I ran there's been many games that have been this small which probably helps make perfect games possible as there's less chaos.

I certainly didn't expect the game to end at the start of Day 3. I thought It'd be completely imbalanced if I allowed the werewolf to attack before night 3 because I assumed at this point one if not both of the mafia would still be alive and everything would still be somewhat chaotic. The fact you managed to put both mafia players up for lynch on day 1 and then Jane managed to target the one person who was protected on the first night meant it was always going to be hard, but I never forsaw a perfect game!

The very fact that you almost lynched Poirot yesterday despite him almost having a foolproof claim as well was hilarious.

I'm gutted they didn't get to see my last will and testament.

I do wonder if this style of setup ends up being town favoured purely due to the difference in timescale relative to a Town of Salem game where everything is a lot more fast paced. Like in a Town of Salem game I wouldn't have had time to mull over Poirot's claim and realise he was likely innocent as I would have had a minute to make the call. With this many roles and much longer to plan it can easily turn into a 'solved' game for the village after a role call like it did in the last phase although I suppose that was because none of the baddies jumped in with fake claims to disrupt the role call.

I mean the Jester and Arsonist won the last one, I'm not sure on balance but I feel this one became solved so quickly purely because the mafia were out of the equation essentially from day 1. If they had managed to kill two of you over the first two nights and two more were dead due to a lynch then it would've looked completely different - roleclaiming definitely is a bit more powerful in a forum game, but again there wasn't many people around to counter claim. If Jane was able to be a bit more active she could've counterclaimed Lookout which would've lead to Hercule or Jane being jailed instead of Jessica and the werewolf tonight would've been able to act. I think with proper role claiming even your average AYAW game on GR could be 'solved' - the issue is as yesterday almost proved is it doesn't matter how organised you try to be all it takes is for someone to missread something or jump on the wrong idea and all of a sudden all the plans go to hell

Is it bad that I immediately clocked this after you started triple posting

I reckon even through alt accounts in a small game like this we're all quite recogniseable in style now.

I had never 'played' the outraged over-the-top person before, so that was fun.

Is it that you've never played it, or is it that you've never survived long enough to become it.

Hey I've survived to the end and late game before

The Dream Team, baby.

Good game Townies and we'll organised Chief, thanks for running this!

Copying over my post from the dead thread:

Jane Marple wrote:Yeah felt like we were on damage control pretty much from the off! Was hard to know how to play it today, I tried to stay engaged but didn't want to push agendas too much as I was already under suspicion and at one point it looked like they were going to fall to in fighting and I'd at least love another day but alas 'twas not to be!

I was busier than expected with work and family stuff this week so it was always going to be hard to fully engage as I'd have liked to which was a shame. With more time to think/plan I'd have done things differently - putting a vote in for Frank (sorry m8) might have helped, and I'd also probably tried to get a role claim in last night/this morning - was considering posing as either the Survivor or Lookout as that was my role last time so I thought I'd be able to bluff it quite well (I was also factoring in that it was a role that may not be used again so I wouldn't be clashing with a legit Lookout! )

It was a shame that we didn't get any real time to plan a strategy as the Mafia, but thems the breaks I guess! I think some more luck combined with a bit more time to get involved might have let us live a bit longer, but these smaller games do feel harder to turn the tide once it does against you!

What do you mean?

Oh

I know what you mean

Is there a death thread by the way? I cant see it.

Also... winning streak of 2 games baby.

There is but other than the one post Jenuall ported over there was just posts by me.

Chief Inspector wrote:Also for the record when I was thinking of what name themeing to go with the idea of Dick Tracey being called Dick all the time and how much that would make me laugh reading the thread was definitely not taken into account. Especially yesterday when the lynch vote had Magnum and Dick voting for someone in a row

I really wanted to do a full Lupin theme but then I realised people wouldn't really know a lot of the characters so I went with famous detectives instead so I could still use Zenigata.

I kept lookout because when working out what roles to add to the game I realised with so few players having a Sheriff and an Investigator might be a little bit broken. I imagined there might be players who might try and roleclaim as there was one last game as well.

I think given how fast it's all gone my plans have kinda made it difficult for the neutral killer that's left, but let's see if they can do anything.

Thanks! I assumed it wouldnt have had time to gain much traction, but FOMO!

Thank you for the game Qikz! It was fun even thought it was short and sweet.

I found it harder to hide my role when everyone role claimed. It would have been easier for me if the list of roles was not revealed.
It was still fun tho!

Yeah, thanks Qikz.

Cheers for running this Qikz!

Sorry for gunning for you, Pedz/Hercule. Well played Town team!

Definitely got a bit lucky though didn't we

Yep, thanks to Qikz, it may have been a short game, but was still good fun.

Never had the chance to have a seer type role before.
