By the way, I think I could outshoot all of you and become the new mastermind of the mafia. There.

Okay. I'm a terrible player, and my failed strategies are just laughable.

As if there were any chances of winning, lol.

I would crush everyone. LOL, trash, hilarious, sodomy, Jack Ant, execute, guys!

A sincere acknowledgment of one's own mistakes is the first step towards enlightenment.

I still haven't gotten around to posting my thoughts on the game's results.
I don't know of any other game where I've had this many facepalms.



I'm too lazy to list all the mistakes the players made, and it would be boring anyway – those who understand game mechanics even a little already remember them, and the rest have the same standard reaction to any criticism: "lolol but what about your pro skills."
And it's hard to pick just one thing that's the dumbest. Everyone in this game is a diamond, hand-picked.

Thorium with his detailed plan for where Demi should go, and the next day cheerfully hanging a player who, by that same plan, proved he was Demi.
The Guardian, deciding to protect himself on the second night — not only did the protection not help him, but a Guardian who protects himself is of such benefit to the town that words fail.
The Sandman, who for some reason aggroed the Doctor onto himself, and the Doctor, who for some reason went to the Sandman after that — why the hell? What could be the point of healing the Sandman — a useless role that can also be recruited?
By the way, I'd like to separately award a silver shoe each to our healers and guardians. What's interesting is this: neither the mafia nor the maniac hesitated to kill off the strong players. Gil was taken out as soon as his immunity wore off. Did anyone protect or heal him? No? So, for the town, Gil's value was, alas, less obvious than for the mafia? My little lololo's.
On the third night, both the mafia and the maniac came to kill me at the same time (too bad Pandora got caught in the crossfire with the mage). Again, I'm embarrassed to ask, but what was the Doctor doing? Ah yes, by then they'd started something personal with the Sandman — tonight and every night, those lovebirds.

But then again, overall everyone was so surprisingly incoherent that I don't even want to blame anyone specific. Overall, with the exception of three or four players, no one is playing. They don't know how and don't try to learn. For most, Mafia has become a branch of a chatroom, and any mention that it's an intellectual game with specific techniques is perceived as an attempt to ruin the fun.

Playing on HeroesWorld has become boring. Everyone probably remembers the saying that you can only learn something by playing against a stronger opponent? Well, on HeroesWorld right now, you can only unlearn everything completely, so I'm going to play on other mafia resources.
This isn't an official statement like "oh, I'm leaving the forum, and shame on you all!" — I have no reason to leave the forum — but playing Mafia here is pointless. Good luck. :)

Sorry, Zubr didn't provide me with a list of roles for all the players. All complaints should be directed to him.

Thanks everyone for the game.
I don't even feel like listing the fails (especially since my dear Slonik has already described everything correctly, so why should I repeat myself). In other words, those who are interested already know all their mistakes, so moving on. And for those who play for the sake of the game, participation, etc., etc., in short, "not for the win," they don't care anyway, right?
The only thing I'll say is — as everyone could have noticed, recruitment is by no means an imba skill. There were far more potential targets for recruitment in this game than in 29 and 30, where the mafia steamrolled everyone with some lucky use of this skill (in 29, 4/18 players were recruited; in 30, 2/19; with two out of the available four successfully recruited in 29, and one out of the pair in 30 — the difference in success is obvious). My point in saying all this is not to criticize the mafia; bad luck indeed played a significant role. But in this game, almost half the players were recruited — 7 out of 16 — yet it didn't bring an epic win. So, for the future — don't brand certain types of ND as "imba," especially ones like this. Recruitment is, first of all, situational, and secondly, requires particularly thoughtful play. In that same game 30, we identified the second potential recruit by the third night, but in the end, the opposing mafia prevented us from recruiting him. Situationality and luck/unluck.
The last few days here have been absolutely deadly; I mostly dropped in just to laugh. And yes, don't start saying stuff like "ololo pro-skill in the topic lol?", some moments were truly mind-blowing and funny, that's a fact.
Too bad we weren't allowed to play properly. Last game on HW, most likely. Slonik and I won't be playing with you anymore — you're bad. :p So go ahead and enjoy your daytime discussions like in this game after the third night (that's not sarcasm, mind you — as I see, some people really enjoy playing that way). Confirmation of this, so timely!

Sorry, Zubr didn't give me the list of roles for all players. All complaints should go to him.

Doc and Sandman. Doc targets player A, but ends up going to player B. Player B can only be the Sandman, since there aren't even any redirecting roles in this game. The next night, Doc goes to the Sandman again. Hmm, what a scoundrel that MG is — didn't give a role list, messed up all the moves. :/

Good luck, have fun!

Damn, I didn't want to say anything at all. But still... "Thoughts on the staircase."
Seriously, didn't it occur to any of these... city dwellers why the Mafia, Verwolka, and Kyle were so persistently trying to execute Hosa?? MAYBE BECAUSE THEY KNEW HE WAS A MAN??!!11
So, until you stop staring into Hosa's mouth and opening your beaks in anticipation of fat, juicy worms from Papa Hosa, you're absolutely useless. Good luck.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Good luck.

+3 luck. mass buff

It's sad to see people getting upset because someone failed. If Hossi is just trolling and joking around as usual, it seems like you're taking everything too seriously. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Plus, you don't even understand the jokes. (Lowering BD for that is just ridiculous), maybe you'll even give him bonus points? ) Notice that I'm not denying that I failed. Regarding the berries, Revanka hit the nail on the head.

+3 luck. mass buff

PW is making itself known XD.
Want me to set up a fourth buff? Just to be sure.

That's awesome. Many will find it useful.

You're making a mountain out of a molehill.

You shouldn't have said that about the elephant.

Regarding the berries.

Should I award you points, or will you do it yourself?)

Want me to give you a fourth buff? Just to be sure.

Let's do a buff for intelligence instead. I want to be a pro.

Damn, the Mystic has a buff for resurrection and defense. I can protect against trolls, for example... Although, defense can be interpreted in different ways.
Choose.

No, protection against trolls isn't needed. I have immunity, after all. But protection from external influences wouldn't hurt.

This is Mafia. Do you want any buff, son?
