Cold War Spy Mafia Game Thread: GAME OVER CIVS WIN

I tried to recruit against the meta. I was pretty sure people wouldn't be looking to recruit DV7 early, so he was a target of mine. I was surprised with Redwing, since I thought it was well known he was in both cafes and that mechanic had been fleshed out, but w/e.

My misses were Mako and SD3.
 
Two civ recruiters is tough. Fun idea overall, though. Thanks for the game, townie, and thanks for the recruit, bym.
 
you had an n0 recruit too, d14. i hoped that plus letting you into each cafe would help with both recruiting and assessing info, but it was a little too steep, i agree. probably should have balanced indy and mafia powers a bit differently, but oh well. was fun!

Whose side are you one?

Yeah, fighting 2 civ recruiters is tough.

Thank you, Townie. That was fun.
 
Who was everyone in the cafe? I was John Galt and Mrs. Scarlet.

True, I honestly forgot about that. Gouda was my N0 recruit. Honestly maybe utilization of the cafes would have helped me, but looking through 3 chatzys and the thread to try to decipher what I needed would have been a lot. In retrospect I should have spread tons of misinformation in the cafes I guess

My recruit attempts were as follows:

N1: gooner
N2: rommy (I knew redwing was an option but didn't want to recruit someone about to be executed. Had no idea the size of my recruit pool was only 1/4 of the game and that civ recruiters existed)
N3: JTP
N4: SD3
N5: Dv7

I don't see that as particularly bad at all but whatever

Jtp was recruitable, why didn't you get him?
 
Townie if I knew about the crops and widgets from the start so that I can sabotage that for the civs that may have evened things a bit. By the time I figured out what was up with that it was D2 or so

Townie I legitimately enjoyed this game, it was fun.

The widgets/crops affect whether my hits worked absolutely fucked me though, I had to get lucky and get SD3 killed, there was no way for me to actually know the answers with them mostly not even being reported. Two civ recruiters also just created an immediate civ flood if they were ever both successful, and I don't see how it's really my fault they hit dv7/manning before me. But those are my only complaints, and overall it was a fun concept so it's cool

i actually think the clearing mechanism for the farmers and factory workers may have been worse for you than gathering teammates upon reflection, but live and learn, my second custom game writeup, i'm glad you were one of the captains to give it a go
 
I liked the cafe idea. I figured out about 70% of the fake names. I missed a few but was right on a lot:

dv7 was H Hart/E Judge

Tejas: D14 was Andy Murray and kgb I’m pretty sure

Tejas: Gat was definitely clay b shaw and I think Orwell

Tejas: Jhawk was bojangles and American spy

Tejas: I think gm was Nate and Charlie

I don't want to sound whiny or anything, you legit wrote an entertaining and unique game and it was fun. Games this unique are bound to have some balance issues, but that shouldn't take away from the overall enjoyment of it. Thanks for modding

Thanks Townie and Parlay for running.

I was not Nate and/or Charlie.

I was rj, X, toogs and ... I never posted in either chat (I missed that part of my PM at first) and then decided I would likely need to claim something eventually so thought I could best tie it into my cop claim if I said i could just observe.
 
This just bears out that games with a lot of recruitables are extremely swingy. You could easily run this again and if Duff or D14 hit on N0, its a very diff game. suddenly they have multiple members and the members all come with powers.

Did you know Ph was bad or was that a good guess? I figure bad cop always gives up 1 person.
