As soon as you flipped Mime, I knew we were kinda screwed. Drafter even ended up changing the town wincon which hurt us. If there was just one TP we’d be fine, but two really killed us

You needed two to make it balanced. One Mime (Jester) is a pretty dumb role cuz it's too easy to win. Two is harder because once you know there are players in the game that are TRYING to get lynched, it makes you hesitant to lynch "obviously scummy" players. I thought 2 was perfect for balance in a game based on Paranoia. In fact I hope if Mimes are ever used going forward it's in this exact set up with 2 scum and 2 mimes.

I know mime wasn't that1 when she seemed to want to go mime hunting with me where Pie definitely did not.

Ya I know. If there were Mimes it would have to be 2. I was hoping you’d be some other TP like a survivor or something which is why you claimed that. Never thought you could be a mime

Despite you trying to look scummy, you ironically still were the only person who seemed willing to lynch pie and croc in dp1 lol. I was trying to agree with all your posts on those two as much as possible without giving away I had inside info lol

First time playing as a TP, and first time in chat with another player in the game. Fun experience. Really got to play up the "I'm a novice and just want to play this straight" angle. To Speed's credit, he was among the first to see through it, though like many of you, he scum read me.

I was going to waive the lynch on Danielle to save the potato, but you convinced me to vote her since I had no idea about the mimes.

I was for sure she wasn't town bases on all that Google doc shit. I just couldn't have fathomed mimes. 

At worst I was expecting cultist

I think the balance was just fine too. I don't see many situations where town would have won this though and that is mostly because the way the meta is here, results and roles are taken at face value way too much. I mean you literally told people the game was designed to induce paranoia and people were still town confirming scum over roles and results lol. 

That said I would have loved to see this set up in live mafia, I think it would have worked a bit better in towns favor in that circumstance.

I literally thought someone flipping mine would paralyze the town and keep them from lynching anyone.

Nope, lol

Btw if both mafia got lynched, you would have had once chance to guess which of the four flipped vanillas was the seer. If guessed correctly you would have won. Who would you have honestly guessed between me, speed, elmin, and that1 was the seer?

Honestly, you were the main one I was concerned about this DP. When mafia NK'd you, I knew I was in good shape.

Yeah Idk why it didn't occur to Supa he could be insane cop, he was so narrowly focused that I was guilty and IlikePie was inno, that possibility didn't even come up in his mind

Was concerned about that as well, though that probably would have led to an easy mafia win.

I mean when we lynched you I had no idea. After the flip it was all on mafia.

After I was dead and drafter wouldn't let me replace I was screaming at luna that wf was a mime lol

Wouldn’t have been optimal for scum to kill Mimes either because of the BP. The only reason we got this far is because of what you said and cause Psychiatrist
