Thanks again for the game @Elistren

I was really concerned reading this DP, that Town would fall off track. Towards the end of last Day, Kira brought up my original reveal post, and I'd assumed he was trying to throw scum off or something, but I'm not so sure. That post was made before Natalija had claimed to have targeted Laix - once he/she did so, the scum team was reduced down to either Kira/Natalija or Tiger/Laix, with no exceptions. That meant my assertion that Tiger should not be the lynch, had lost any meaning whatsoever. I can kind of understand the paranoia, because the game was broken open very quickly from just that one set of interactions, but it really was just a case of listening to what the mechanics showed. I have a feeling that was probably why I was killed off, in favour of say a Kira or a John Wayne.

I'm pretty proud of how I salvaged this performance for me, personally. I really was frustrated at myself for failing to watch WPK, and while it was probably more luck than any skill on my part, I think I did a good job of running through and explainng the mechanics once it was clear to me what had happened. I'm glad Okosan was able to pick this up once I was gone, though reading some of Natalija's tinfoil really got me worried.

On the note of @Natalija - I noticed you made the claim that your Doctor role (a doctor is just a role that can protect from the night kill) was useless. In actuality, the doctor is one of the most powerful town roles in the game, because it prevents the Mafia from being able to kill with impunity. Your confusion around the naming of it though, was actually what prompted me to stick with lynching Tiger (Laix would have been fine too), because it did not feel like that was faked at all. If I were to say one thing though, sometimes mechanics do just give you the answer, and following that just makes the most sense. I felt like you tried to lone wolf it too many times this game, and you didn't do yourself many favours with it.

Overall, I think was a pretty strong game. Setup looked great, and the individual play of each faction was mostly good too. It doesn't really feel like either side were completely outplayed, even with Town mislynching only once. GG.

    I'm happy with how the game turned out, but there are a couple of mechanics that I'd like to highlight. First is that Sigismund was a town traitor, meaning if the mafia tried to kill him, he would have defected and joined them instead of dying. Second is that Melkor was a vigilante with a very harsh punishment for misfiring, which he incurred when he killed Hayumi. Though the mafia never knew about either of these things, they were two of the biggest mechanics working in their favor. If the mafia had decided to kill (and thereby convert) Sigismund toward the end, it could have turned the game back in their favor.

    MVPs: Kira Yagami (Malissa), Tiger (Stalvan Mistmantle) and Laix (Morgan Ladimore)
    Honorable mentions: Okosan (Blind Mary), John Wayne (Alyssa Eva)

    Thanks again for playing. The activity and involvement in this game surpassed my expectations.    ​

    Cuz we lynched the seer on day 1. (Also, a very low power scale game)

    Only thing I didn't like was 36/12. Not my favorite pizza topping. Kind of like pineapple. Some love it, but it's objectively gross.

    I like the 36 hour days, but the 12 hour nights might be too short. I might go to 36/24 in the future. The only downside is that it's difficult for me to maintain a schedule with inconsistent phase timings.
     
    Well done, guys! @Kira Yagami I really lost my mind back there when people were accusing us of being scum team :sauceskully

    @Tiger and @Laix what’s up with that weird bulletproof and redirect tactic?? If it wasn’t for that, we wouldn’t have figured it out.

    I protected mafia for two days :lul

    Lol it was a useless role if you ask me. I wouldn’t have normally claimed if you didn’t call me out about Laix.

    I do not recall seeing that much bussing in three members Mafia team. Was this your tactic from the beginning. @Laix, can I see the scum chat?

    If Cooler managed to buss either Tiger and Laix, I think he could win.

    And thanks for the game everyone and in particular Elistren! @Kira Yagami you were definately town MVP.

    Actually, I wanted to tag @Elistren here about scum chat. Also would worgen's curse have any additional effect?
