Opopanax on Aug. 26, 2023, 6:42 p.m. | I did mispeak earlier but Ref is clearly hamming it up since they were seen visiting the guy who died last night. |

Since that might be asking too much, stalins role was he marked people and whoever they visit has 200 chips stolen from them Stalin had 200 chips stolen by referee last night, but regardless Ref has fessed up to doing the visit so thats not in question, just whether you believe refs gunsmith claim Unless scum can do multiple actions it cant be me and it probably cant be SiV just based on the chip movements we can publicly see |

Five minutes later, one of the players made a discovery. "Hey," they yelled, "I found the button! It was stuck to the bottom of the deck! There's a 200-chip here too! WHOA wait a second are these cards marked?!"
The strangely sticky-fingered pack of cards was immediately discarded and a new one found. The remaining players realised it wasn't that much fun playing Texas Hold 'em without any community cards, so they started from scratch and played long into the night, confident in the knowledge that all the cheatin' swines at the table had finally been eliminated. Referee, The Deck , SCUM-aligned JOAT was chucked in the bin on day 5! quote:Without you, the game could not exist. Standard decks of cards have two colours - red and black - but decks designed for poker often have four:. In addition, some decks may be subtly marked, allowing players in the know to cheat by detecting the values of cards they handle without seeing their faces. TOWN has won the game ! Additionally, Referee receives a personal win for having the highest chip count on the losing team! shwinnebego receives bragging rights in perpetuity for having the highest chip count overall! quote:You are Phil Poker Brat Hellmuth , TOWN-aligned Explosive Miller . Both one of the most successful players of all time and one of the most abrasive, you have a reputation for losing your temper at bad beats and generally abusing your celeb status to get away with obnoxious behaviour at the table. Also surviving were Opopanax quote:You are Lady Luck , TOWN-aligned Masonizer . Poker is a game of both skill and luck: your role is to keep the fish at the table by giving them a big win once in a while. Hal Insandenza quote:You are Lenny the Whale TOWN-aligned Vanilla/ATM . Being extremely rich and keen to bully opponents with your big stack, you start the game with 2000 chips, twice the standard amount. In addition, should you drop below 500 chips while still alive, you have a one-shot ##rebuy which may be used at any time you are not currently seated in a poker game to gain an additional 1000 chips. and Spacing in Vienna! quote:You are Bluffing Brad , TOWN-aligned Vanilla/Bluffmeister . Youre a decent player, but perhaps a little too prone to bluffing - a tendency that might hurt you in this game! Still, the payoff could be worth it. Thank you all for playing, it's been a blast. Some thoughts on the setup to follow - I think scum got a raw deal here, and that's down to a couple of decisions I made late on in the implementation. |
Referee on Aug. 26, 2023, 9:01 p.m. | Fun game! Glad I came out of retirement for this one | Thanks for running it, Maugrim!
NeverHelm on Aug. 26, 2023, 9:02 p.m. |
Hm, should we trust this person claiming to be a Gunsmith that visited someone the Cop already cleared? I dunno, that one person said something that could be misconstrued as scummy if you squint
really hard...
Seriously though, fun game! Even if I got kind of bodied at the poker tables. |
Maugrim on Aug. 26, 2023, 9:14 p.m. |
So one thing I realised as I was setting up the game was that I had no way to hide chip counts from the players: you could always check anyone's chips in the Discord. Since this was publicly available info anyway, I decided just before the game started that for the convenience of players, and to make it easier to track who was on course for the personal win, I should put that info front and centre - hence posting the chip leaderboards.
From there it was a small step to including the changes in chip totals from the previous leaderboards - you've got to see who's made progress and who hasn't, right? And then, of course, I had the bright idea of closing the tables during the night phase - partly to make it easier for me to process the chip changes, but also to make it easier for the players to do the maths and work out whose chips went where. As we discovered, the easier you make it to track the chip movements, the harder it is for scum to hide. With 20/20 hindsight I think I should probably just have posted the chip counts and placings at the start of each day, with no flagging of chip changes, and I should have kept the tables open at night. This way town could still have tracked all the movements if they really tried but they'd have had their work cut out for them. All that said, town did play well! Shoutout to Neverhelm who clocked the scum team and Zoya's godfather from an early stage, Grandi who laid down a perfect solve in true Mafia Champ style, and SiV who did the daily work of sussing out all the chip changes. Also, I'm probably going to use straightforward Cop roles very sparingly in future games. I see now why people say they aren't that fun. Maugrim fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Aug 26, 2023 |
CubicalSucrose on Aug. 26, 2023, 10:45 p.m. | I liked the setup / idea! Including a semi-optional component was cool, neat way to engage obs and dead players (at least the ones who still had chips). A bit tough for scum, agree. |
Zoya on Aug. 26, 2023, 11:27 p.m. |
a note: DB's very obviously verifiably false fake claim was actually my fault
for some reason i was convinced the extra chips i stole due to whoever's action (shwinne? idr) was a random bonus for having succeeded my action, and came up with an elaborate fakeclaim for him based on that when maugrim confirmed, concerned for us, that this was a faulty premise based on his mod comm wording... we went ahead with the fake claim anyway cuz the only other ones we'd thought of were somehow worse i thought the chip movements would be harder to figure out without scum's knowledge, but they kind of weren't, and either way it should have been very obvious that chips weren't apparating out of nowhere so that's entirely on me |
Zoya on Aug. 26, 2023, 11:28 p.m. | he was prolly dead anyway cuz cop but yeah |
CirclMastr on Aug. 26, 2023, 11:29 p.m. | schwinne getting chips and then the game immediately ending before I could win more at the poker table was very rude, but thanks for the game! |
Opopanax on Aug. 26, 2023, 11:49 p.m. | So who all could I recruit? |

Assuming that scum powers require somehow lying about chip movements, which I actually did not assume until the very end of the game. I figured it was a red herring. Overall scum got boxed in by town investigative powers, though. Under the circumstances they did a great job. GG everyone, and I really enjoyed the poker piece of this game! |
Dick Bastardly on Aug. 27, 2023, 1:23 a.m. | As an irl poker player this game was a must and I was not dissapointed, the flavor and mechanics were really fun! Thanks Maug and shell for running! Good effort by my scum bros but the excellent cop was the beginning of the end for us :p |

Maugrim on Aug. 27, 2023, 7:25 a.m. | Of the six real human players at the table, two were pros, two were "decent" players (including one scum) and two were fish. I'm not sure why Hal never claimed bad player but I assumed he just missed that part of his role PM |

Opopanax on Aug. 27, 2023, 2:50 p.m. | Should have followed my gut and recruited Hal right away but it seemed risky to guess too much |
Referee on Aug. 27, 2023, 4:49 p.m. | Was my shot of BP essentially a red herring? |
Maugrim on Aug. 27, 2023, 6:51 p.m. | There were a couple of potential threats it could counter, if you hammered shwin he could blow you up or if Cube charged his day vig. |
