Thank you Incognito for running the game. You did a good job with all the Mod mechanical issues and especially with handling the replacements so well.
Overall I think, despite this being an /invitiational, that the level of play was pretty sub-par. Both sides had seriously under-performing slots.
Thoughts on my play
–
I think I played a fairly average game. My Day 1 early play absolutely sucked. That stupid comment about Zajnet not RVSing on Page 1 was just careless and I was right to get run up for it.
I planned pretty much from the get-go to bus Zach / Jason hard based on the whole Sotty – Zach relationship factor. She was going to catch him and when vollkan protected her N1 and we lost the kill I pretty much knew it was a requirement to win the game. My thanks to Jason for taking it in stride.
The Hider claim was a WIFOM-filled gambit I would never had made had my endurance in this game not run out. From my perspective the game was exhausting. I wanted the game to end Day 6 and the gambit was made purely to end it right then and there.
In hindsight the smart move would have been to kill on Night 6 and just play as a Vanilla Town. I doubt it would have been as close.
Thoughts on my teammates –
I NEVER want to see either CDB or Ythan as a scum partner again. Worst scum-play ever. Should I mention they both failed to submit a Dayscan action Day 1 or Day 2? The only scan we actually got was on Sando, the day he was lynched.
I appreciate Zach’s replacing (I’m assuming it was to try to save the slot), Jason’s handling of the bussing and Erg0’s play until he got fingered by Sotty.
Erg0 – I simply wish you had used your Daycop on Sotty before self-hammering and just posted the results in thread so I was 100% sure she was a RB.
Thoughts on Town –
Once again Jack’s fake-claim ended up biting Town in the butt. I think it cost him any credibility in attacking me and after I escaped Day 1 gave me additional cushion that I needed.
Poro – you were dead on in your set-up analysis. If you had not been so lacklustre to that point it probably would have been easier to convince the rest of Town I was scum.
Vollkan – I have a question if you read this – was your Town read on me accurate or just blowing smoke? Would you have protected me N2? I had suggested not killing you N2 in hopes that you would protect me and die and then spinning the double kills as either Erg0 or I being a one-shot vig who killed the other death that night (which would have been Jack had I gotten my way). Of course flavor could well have done us in but I thought it might have been a good gamble.
Sotty – Do you remember your N1-2-3 RB targets?
General Thoughts –
From a scum perspective I think the game was weighted towards Town from a set-up perspective.
Town had essentially a Sane Cop, a Roleblocker and a Weak Doc (who could effectively detect via protection the Mafian the Cop could not).
Scum had 2 Goons and effectively a Partial Godfather who could Dayscan.
Overall I enjoyed the game. The two misses on kills certainly helped to drag it out farther than it should have gone.

Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.
