ok fine I think we do Cook today, and look at likely partners tomorrow based on their approach to him (as there isn't much to go on from Cook to others).

Yeah I think a little hesitancy is fair - I guess I didn't really get a scummy vibe from the way he just sort of, gave up and didn't fight at all. Like I said, it's explainable by either resignation (because him and his partner don't fancy their chances) or, less likely, complacency (he thinks his partner is so good they will win without him). Which I guess is the contrast I pointed out with Endlessdark. Endlessdark is extremely concerned with his own survival, Cook couldn't care less. Initially I also bought his point about being less motivated because he didn't have a PR, but Endlessdark was right to highlight the significant contrast between his play here and in newbie 2052 which suggest that isn't a strong enough explanation.
Nothing wrong with being prudent and taking more time to consider everything anyway.
These two posts have a bit of discordance to me. In the first you sound convinced that Cook will flip mafia and in the second you say the way he gave up made you feel hesitant and didn't give you a scummy vibe.
Also, whoever is town among voters absolutely sucks as a player. Do you think I'd go against Battle Mage, who was hard to get lynched in the first place, if I were maf? Nobody suspected him and I had no reason to go against him with all the easy lynches out there.
GG all - was good fun, and nice to see a newbie game finished in 11 pages! Game, and town momentum in particular, was hurt a bit by the number of replacements, although everyone who came in did a good job. Obviously town hurt by masons outting unnecessarily on page 1/2. Thought it was going to be close even up to today, but the benefit of getting 2 consecutive days of ExLo, is that any town error is a scum-win - and shows the benefit of scum co-ordination. I figured I was probably eating the elim today but Enchant was in a good enough position to go on and win. Town reads overall were pretty good - you were all on to me yesterday! If Amelie was mason as we assumed, that "pretend i think whemestar is scum" act yesterday was very clever.

I asked same in my last game, because i always have problems with executions as town.

yeah we essentially streamrolled Dew on Day 1 and Cook gave himself up on Day 2. I'm honestly baffled at how easy everyone let Enchant off the hook for that Day 1 hammer - they didn't have to fight much at all. I can't remember the last time I saw a quickhammer that dubious looking get such little scrutiny.
