Yes because you said you were “80% sure” and we thought that because SK can pick bp, which you did, so that factored into it. Prior to that, we thought it was Mega.
We never in a gazillion years thought it could be Gypyx.
Also we didn’t want to bus Galron but he was super obvious scum, so we really didn’t have much choice in the matter. You will see when the scum pt gets released. We tried to help him but he didn’t listen to us. :/
Sorry it played out like that, rats. As I said, had been in a similar situation too and it really sucks, hope you putting up that fight last day wasn't too unfun. I thought you two played well.

It just really sucks when you play well and you get fucked by the setup essentially.
I guess it was bad luck that Galron wasn't around when Gypyx came up. In hindsight banking on town's apathy might have payed off to force the Gypyx lim. Game would have been completely different from there on.

Well there’s a good reason for that, the apparent plan was for Gypyx to cop ceejay and we knew by virtue of PoE we were donezo in that case, so had we had a crystal ball, we might have still been able to pull it off.
We had no choice. We were in such a great position until Enchant insisted on fucking us. :/
If not specified, I allow no-elims and no-kills in multi-faction games because it allows for negotiation between the factions, and not killing concedes some initiative to another faction (hopefully for some other advantage in return, but it's mafia so can you really trust them?).
Makes sense the kill on me was just a random cop hunt given how far off I was with my hunches.
I wonder if this setup would work better with a bus driver instead of a cop?
Successful bus drive means the driver knows the surviving target is not the faction who killed that night, and depending who was the original target maybe got to turn the nightkill into a vig shot of sorts. And scum have motive to get the bus driver limmed/killed or else they can give town extra hopes at elo.

With game officially over, I will offer my thoughts as an individual.
I had fun! It was a wild ride, and though I do think Enchant's scheme was unfair and that we should have won or lost on our ability to maintain the appearance of Towniness without an SK to hunt, I don't hold it against Enchant. I think it's a flaw with the setup that such situations are possible, but it also could have theoretically been avoided if we didn't have to bus Galron, so. It is what it is.
Maybe the real Mafia was the friends we made along the way
