Execution: Bad.
My performance: Worse.

Fact that David bloody Xanatos won: UN-bearable.

There we alot of players that played wore than you. Your lync was terrible though and there wasn't very much good to play to begin with.

Kudos to DX but the fact a lurker won this game just shows how bad this was.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It would have been so much more awesome if DX was actually PSY and bumraped the entire world's political system single-handedly. An ode to pop culture being the true controller of the world.

To clarify they pop back up when their name is mentioned - like beetlejuice - which indicates they are following the game and choosing not to speak.

As for the game, yes it had its problems, which (since the original mod isn't even here) I won't bother to go into. Town didn't deserve to win, though, so I'm not dissatisfied in regards to that (newscum probably should have).

Anyway thanks all for playing, and thanks kk for stepping in and finishing the game off, and gg to davidx. I'm going to lynch you in every game you lurk in from now on I think! :P

I didn't lurk in the original TV Mafia! Before my life got flipped turned upside down, so I'd like to take a minute just sit right there, while I rant about Beetlejuice not actually being a thing here. Where it was claimed, I was being mentioned at least once a page, and someone always calls Beetlejuice despite the fact most of the time it was genuinely just me getting on when I could.

I saw this game ask for replacements several times and was going to offer, but then I looked at it and decided that would be a poor choice.

I think the replacements and posting rules (e.g., no posting past the GoToThePolls hammer, which is really easy to violate accidentally) put a damper on activity.

Still, it was a very fun concept. I enjoyed it until I was killed.

I followed this loosely. All I can say is I sort of pitied Khan when he agreed to be the back-up mod, as it was obvious what was coming.

The concept was interesting, but yeah, the execution was poor on Jordan's part. A few changes I'd make:

* De-power the mafia a little and not make the ballots public. It seems like it would fit the whole politics theme a bit better to allow mafia to conspire to rig elections to influence the lynch. Two competing mafias and town masons can work to cancel out the election tampering. Conversely, town could have some balancing roles like a ballot investigator (Sees how someone voted), and the like. My mind is a little tired and I can't remember all the stuff I was thinking about while working. But in general, centering around the voting seemed like the way to go.
* Setup the elections types with likely number of players in mind. Most of the IRV voting styles are going to end up in possibly unbreakable ties when there are few players left. Coombs method on Day 9 is a gerat example of this.
* SK was too overpowered. Especially weird since David Xanatos wasn't even told that he was bulletproof. Somewhat bastardish, I think.
* Something, something.. I try to remember this later.

Thanks to everyone for having patience with me as I tried to sort out Jordan's notes and rules and precedents. Big thank you and apology to Staeg for putting up with me force replacing him. Must have been especially frustrating since Cogito Ergo Sum entered the game and went to work from the exact same point that Staeg was. But he honestly got there without the mod slip-up and stuff like that is important to me. Mods shouldn't influence games.

Thanks to Cogito Ergo Sum and DeasVail for replacing in such a huge game. I owe both you guys.

Thanks to the dead QT, UberNinja, TheButtonmen, and Mr. Flay for all the advice given on how to smoothly bring this game to a close. Big thanks to TBM for letting me vent at him.

And of course, thanks to the players for playing. Hope you had fun.

I'd post a Night Action list, but I only have a partial (with Jordan's notes):

Glowball did nothing
DrRoy blocks syndrome
Masons try to recruit Feysel and Zdenek (neither successful)
TeChNoWc investigates vijay

Day 3

Well I'm rather disappointed. Many kudos to David, but I really thought my team was going to win, the n7 Lynch was where it went wrong. I damn you ces! Nice play though. I hoped I'd stay a third party, but being recruited only did god for me. I fun gact: I actually was recruited in real life too and am posting via phone from the army.

Long fame, was fun and satisfying in the last 100th pages :-)
I'd like to see the full roles of all...

One NK per night, BP, and at the start of the game I was allowed to choose either to be investigation immune OR have strongman kills.
