Posts from Mafia 44. Time of Troubles Auto-translated

We will retaliate against those who attack any of us.

You see, Zybr, lately I've been noticing that there's less and less good, high-quality analysis, discussions, and debates. Some find it boring, some are too lazy, and some signed up just for the sake of signing up. This is all wrong (and I don't deny belonging to the first two categories myself). But there's another point — a person does something one-sidedly. I'm not talking about the mafia and maniacs, but from the town's side, more often than not, only the point of view of how that person saw it is expressed. That's it, there's no further attempt to understand the situation, weigh the facts, or come up with different scenarios. And all of this is made worse by the games being overloaded with ND. The majority of the game takes place at night, which is wrong. This reduces the impact of conversations. And that's it.
By the way, that's exactly why I almost entirely adopted Vegtam's layout from my first game on HeroesWorld — to reduce the influence of ND and raise the level of reasoning back to what it used to be.

You sometimes attack me too, although I haven't noticed that lately.

In short, overall I liked the game. Respect to Rudyy for playing well with mages. The city's passivity wasn't very pleasing, nor was the chaos on the last day, but it was still fun. The city won.
I also liked the concept of having a specific role – not just a double vote, but also having to think about who to steal from, so as not to harm the city and not lose votes/experience. Although in reality, I just stole from inactive players.

Congratulations, Jack. Just don't get so worked up, for crying out loud. It's not worth the stress. And it's bad for me too. It encourages sadistic tendencies. I don't want to be a troll.

Well, I'm saying, if I wasn't so worried that you and Lynx might convince Hermit, I would have just ignored it. But I had my concerns, and I couldn't let the city lose like that. But you both really impressed me with your activity and your very good excuses. At least there were a lot of words.
Red, you don't need to be afraid of me; hopefully, we'll be on the same team, and it will be easier.
Morni, go suck on a tuna, okay?
Actually, Kosha and I never really argue. It's just for show.

Maybe you could just put in some effort to lose once in your life, get eliminated, and come back as a substitute after there are only five players left, and their roles are obvious to each other, huh? Because we all know that you have to play to lose!

You weren't following the game, I guess. I joined in the middle of the game and made a big contribution to the victory. And I'm sorry that I died on the second day as a peasant; I couldn't help with that role, but as a Cossack, I made accurate kills and analyzed the situation well during the day. But I still have a long way to go to reach your level

Thanks to everyone for the game! I really couldn't dedicate much time to it, but I tried my best and I'm glad I played and won! Jack did a good job by simply making me believe he was peaceful, although he went too far in one instance. On the last day, you guys unnecessarily stirred up trouble there; by the way, I read everything, just

As for Jack, he really shouted too much; he should have just been ignored, especially after Hermit finally decided not to change his voice.

Pzkhahahaha))))))))

Rudy, you don't need to be afraid of me; God willing, we'll be on the same team, it'll be easier)

Not necessarily. If you achieve victory by any means :D

I slightly forgot about the third night. Killing Plesen. Well, he was inactive. And I decided that since the anime fans suffered from me during the first two nights (it happened by chance, there are many of you here), I shouldn't break the tradition. Yes, I could have already, and indeed should have, started playing "smart," but I decided that I wouldn't survive until the end anyway. In short, I did everything for the sake of a more interesting game in the future. By the way, Vistrit was another candidate. A Cossack, after all. But, as I said, I hoped for the mafia.
Day 3.
After the witch saved me, I was sure problems would start. But nothing of the sort happened! The town, on the contrary, completely stopped paying attention to me.
But everyone went to Heaven. This, of course, was very good. But this is where I made my first serious blunder. I started attacking Hostor. No, it wasn't about him at all, but about the fact that the witch had to be gotten rid of. And I already knew that Heaven was the witch, because he hinted at it quite clearly.
In short, I see only one plus from my actions - I forced the cossack to kill a civilian.
By the way, perhaps the town's play wasn't that fatal; for example, the inquisitor's team could have guessed about Vistrit, because it was clear he was a cossack as early as the second day. Post 463. And the info before it.
In short, everyone made mistakes.
Well anyway, the day passed in stupid flooding and trolling Hostor.
Night 4.
Judging by the speeches of the 3rd day, it was easy to guess that Ar would block Heaven. Either he said so directly, or something else, but he decided to finally convince everyone of his guilt. Besides, a "levak" had already been given; there was no reason to stir things up. And the GM really wanted to close the Night earlier. In short, one major factor and a bunch of small ones.
The action of the fake prince faction was very clever. Removing Ivan under the condition that the holder of his role had already been revealed, while the town completely failed to notice it. Honestly, it was just hilarious! The mafia was telling each other that there were two revealed town roles that needed to be protected and defended. OMG!
Day 4.
It didn't really stick in my head. I decided not to blow my cover and let Ar carry out his dark business. Besides, it seemed to me then that the town was already too weak to win. I simply lacked gaming experience.
And yes, it seemed to me that we were executing a mafioso. But later, when analyzing the day, I concluded that I was really being dense back then. But overall, sticking to Ar's version was a profitable move, a viable one, I don't consider it a mistake. And I didn't care who died. Or rather, not who, but which role. The idea of executing an inactive player was a good one.
Night 5.
I killed Pobeditel. Since at the end of the previous day he was attacking me. And I was sure he was mafia.
Naturally, this was a mistake. Because:
1) exactly as a result of the following night, when as many as 3 mafiosos and 0 civilians died, it began to seem to me that it was game over. And I was right.
2) I deviated from the principle of killing inactives. Pobeditel played worthily. It was pleasant to watch.
3) If Pobeditel had continued attacking, there would be a chance the town would have hanged him. True, I was bothered by the fact that Archik was sure he was a cossack. Still, it's strange that with that role he didn't figure anything out. But still, I consider this kill a mistake. That's that.
We really shouldn't have been cutting each other, droogi negatives.
Day 5.
Exposing a mafioso. Everything is logical. It was very sad to execute him, I even thought about trying to bring the town back to executing Heaven. And again, I started to feel sorry for my "shield." Fail!
Night 6.
Now this was sad. Very sad.
1) Lisichka signed my death warrant by killing the prince. I would never have thought that anyone would set their sights on him.
2) I hoped the prince would live. And then everything would have been very cool. Arandor wouldn't have been able to explain everything away. As for the others, except for Lynx, whom I wouldn't have attacked anyway, they absolutely didn't care about the game. I would only have to explain everything logically and execute some civilian. And then it would depend on how the cards fell. In short, I got way ahead of myself. And I deserved it.
I see two scenarios where I could have pulled through this game:
a) I should have killed Djak, not Ar. He is a smart man, not indifferent, so he could have quite possibly abandoned the idea of executing me after at least that post.
b) Taking the skin of a Volkhv instead of a crusader (since I thought Ar would block me). Then the execution wouldn't have worked. And it would have been a blast!
Day 6. Well, I tried. Lisichka, in my opinion, did too. It's a pity I couldn't join the conversation from the very beginning. Then the thought that I was the "bad guy" wouldn't have taken root in the town's heads, and there would have been a chance, even without detailed explanations, to convince the town to execute Djak. Uh-huh, barbaric. But a bit more fun. Yes, not an intellectual method. But it couldn't have worked there anyway, I did it out of desperation. I don't like leaving a job halfway.
Night 7. Everything is logical. At least Hermit died rather than going on a drinking binge.

This was an analysis of my mistakes (in general) and a bit of the game.
I think after this, many will lose the desire to consider me the "best" player. After all, only my tactical part was well-developed. As a strategist, I am an outsider.
Impressions of the game as a whole coming soon.

Don't skin a Crusader.

But it did give you a chance to continue with the Sky-Shifter version.

But it did give you a chance to continue the version with the Sky-Shapeshifter.

I just didn't have time to develop it. *regretfully looks at the promising profile of the Sky-Shapeshifter*. Anyway, agree, a wizard would have helped more. Because he would have saved me even without city support. And it was only possible to get it at the beginning, when Hermit was still wandering around. Oh well, I'm glad I missed that moment. But actually, no, I'm not. I'm happy with everything.

Because it would still save me even without city support.

Well, in principle, that's correct; I would round 3/5 down to one and remove the vote...

Well, in principle, that's correct. I would round 3/5 down to one and remove a vote...

But why down to one? Wouldn't it go down to two?

Minus one, in that sense. That is, it would be "execute Rudya – 2 (Dgak, Hermit, Haven)".

logical. manywordsmanywords

And what is the correct way to say it – “Rudya” or “Rudogo”?
