Longest Win Streak

[soundman]

Definition of a win: You survive to endgame and your faction won. If your faction won but you died at anytime during the game then it is NOT a win.

I've been keeping a list of all the games I've played and have been on a winning streak. So I started wondering who has the longest winning streak. I'm currently at four wins in a row: Golden Pantheon, General's Pro, Dazza's First, Hectic Eclectic. Two mafia and two townie wins.

Why do you need to survive to endgame for it to count as a win? This is more "Longest Endgame Win Streak"

[pancakemix]

Yeah, endgame is rarely requisite for a standard Town/Mafia WC.

Still, your streak is impressive.

[DoomYoshi]

Staying Alive shouldn't count.

Staying alive shouldn't matter especially as there are a good number of roles where taking a bullet for town means you played your role well.

Longest win streak: 4. New Briarsburg, x-men, platoon, dead Space. Town town, town survivor, cult.

Id have to confirm but I think I'm currently on a 3 game win streak with an Sk win mixed in.

Are we measuring by date the game started or when it finished? Because I don't know when a lot of my games finished.

By time game started (or around that time)

Win Streak: 4 (I Can't believe it's Not a RT Mafia, Loser Mafia, Buffy Mafia, Rolegift Mafia).

@Saf, I was counting by when it ended.

@You others, I know there are roles where dying means you helped town win. But for this I find it easier to count the way I've laid out. If you want you can start a thread with your own definition of a win. Personally I feel that if I die in a game (especially in the beginning) then it doesn't count as a "win". Because I wasn't able to contribute for most of the game, I feel like I didn't help my faction win. I still count those as "semi-wins" though.

I don't like that distinction as it could incentivate intentional selfish/poor play. Think of a cop stockpiling guilty results without claiming because he knows the doctor is dead and he will not have anyone to protect him when it's night.

I know it's a ridiculous example, but we risk introducing some sort of shenanigans in our games if there is a distinction between "wins" and "semi-wins", for intance.

Back to the OP, I don't think I remember winning a game without dying other than as an arsonist in Soundman's first mafia, so that would give me a highest winning streak of 1 game.

You are right it could. Personally I would never play like that, it's just not fun. I'm a team player at heart and would rather die to help my faction win (or the chance to win) than to horde guilty results, etc. just so I could count it as a "win". Frankly as long as the game is good I have just as much fun when my faction loses as when we win.

I just posted this because I was interested in how many people have had these kinds of wins in a row since my last four have been like this. Not to say that this is the only kind of win that counts.

I'd like to kill you. I will find your address soon.

[crazymilkshake5]

whats a win?

[dazza2008]

I think I won in my last 3 but I think I got killed in one of them. Not sure though and can't be arsed to check

[shieldgenerator7]

I get killed all the time. If I'm not lynched D1, it's night killing time. No, jk. There's always more experienced players who get the NK

@Rodion, PMC: You two are so experienced that Mafia just can't afford to have you lying around until endgame. You're too valuable to town

IDK my win streak. I only remember 2 wins (my first RT, Quickie Mafia) and I'm sure they weren't back to back

RTs don't count for the record books, shield.

Yeah but I still remember my first one

[Rodion]

I'm currently at four wins in a row: Golden Pantheon, General's Pro, Dazza's First, Hectic Eclectic. Two mafia and two townie wins.

5 now with Power Role Draft Mafia? Try to build it as big as you can before Two Sides A ends (since you died there, that will break your streak as per your rules).

Quick Rodion! Startup a new power role with 7 players so soundman can win again!
