GG everyone, and good play by the evil team!

I think the long game days here are tough for me.

Was the no NK intentional then?

I played terribly. I was very sure of my reads and thought people would see what was going on. It didn't help that I was tunneled from page 5 for a joke crumb.

It's very hard to believe this is any sort of a sincere apology, given that there's absolutely no reasonable explanation for having made that claim in the first place, and your penchant for similar stunts in other games.

Kind of. I suggested either killing Catboi or going for no kill to keep as many suspects as for possible for endgame, but we didn't come to an agreement in time and defaulted to no kill.

Good game everybody.

I was not expecting Roden and StD to be the mafia team.

To be honest, I think nonstandard gambits are cool sometimes.
T3's move might not have been the best, but it did generate some reactions and stuff.

It's nice to get a no kill every once in a while.

Now, if two people in the game were AFK during the entirety of the night, that no kill gambit might've been even better. :)

My hat's off to Roden, I only started picking up on his scumtells after I already knew his alignment.

Honestly it's kinda funny how I initially thought Shwin was just a troll, but by day 2 he was the one I found myself rooting for lol

Wish Val would check things out now that it's over, I'm definitely interested in hearing what was going on with him at the end there

Overall, this game was kind of a nightmare but definitely an entertaining one and I definitely think mafia did wonderfully (I might have to take some notes if I ever get a scum role lol)

GG, thanks everyone. I hope Val checks in too, because I think I know what he was going for but I had to push him anyway.

Btw Nav, what actually are my scum tells? I'm pretty aware of my playstyle, but I'm not sure which subtleties give me away.

Well, anyway, now that the dust has settled, I hope the newbies from this game stick around even if the game was a bit of a disaster. I did enjoy playing with you all regardless.


Although I feel uncomfortable with giving advice, as I was largely awful this game, if anyone wants feedback, feel free to ask.

I think you did pretty well.
I will take some feedback. :)

Honestly they're very subtle, but knowing you were scum let me notice that you have a tendency to project and at times your posts gave off the vibe that you knew more than you let on (because obviously you did). But like I said, it's very subtle and I probably wouldn't notice it in a proper game with you

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind. I can definitely see the projection, though I thought I was being careful about TMI. But if it's vibes it might be a tonal thing then, which I feel like is one of my bigger weaknesses in general as scum.

Nah, game was really bad even by my usual standards.

As you, hm. You got hit with some early suspicion but had a decent response to it, it just took a while for me to stop being hung up on suspecting you. It wasn't really until I reread you that I said to myself "oh, he's actually doing things." In some sense you get hit for fluffing around to start, but I don't really want to tell you to stop that, it's not like everyone is obligated to be serious business immediately all the time. I think the biggest trap you fell into this game was scumreading Meg just because his read on you was incorrect - I think in the future it's worthwhile to remember that someone can be wrong or have faulty reasoning and still be town. (Of course, I was wrong there too, I think his absence from the game complicated things a lot, as well as a lot of other things going wrong). Other than that, I think you could stand to be a little more assertive with your opinions in games. Pretty minor, I think overall you were fine this game and most of the stuff that went wrong was outside your influence.
