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.
"I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"
Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.
