Fidget sighed and took the scroll. Technically, she could just pretend to read it, but that didn't seem like it was fair to the scroll, she wouldn't want to hurt its feelings. She reluctantly opened it.

Delightful. She had been...

Town

-of course. Ah well, they still had 2 more shots, this should be easy.

Pooky and MURDERCAT both really wanted the scroll... this seemed odd. Perhaps they were really fond of its fine papyrus? Mostly it seemed like they just wanted to kill each other though.
Fidget threw the scroll at Pooky, and he thanked her.
Pooky, too, was...


Spoiler:
Town

Uh oh. Pooky frowned at Bell now, while MURDERCAT, Noraa, and Bell all looked at each other,

in their eyes.

Noraa spoke up, "
hold on, I have a chem class, can we do this later?
"
"
Not really, the deadline's closing in, Noraa.
"

She drew her pistol and
murdered
Bell on the spot.
Shockingly, he was...


Spoiler:
Town

Thankfully for the others, she'd only thought to buy one bullet for the gun.

Pooky knew what had to be done. He graciously handed Noraa the scroll, and she accepted it, recognising it was all over.
She was...

What a game... I had so much fun watching this. Scum off to a great start, then they crumbled within just a few passes, and then DEEPwolf Noraa riding it out as pretty much the no.1 UTR until the final stages. I hope you're okay with having dayvig and chem class memes following you in your other games now, Noraa. that was hilarious.

This is the longest large game since a 40 player one from over a year ago. Fantastic playerlist, thank you everyone for playing!

I DID THINGS ITT!
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.

Yeah. I am never going to finish reading this. I read somewhere that reading from forums are actually a huge time sink, but shorter games should be fine. This game, however, is about to hit a 5 digit post number.

Noraa, it really doesn't matter that we lost this game. I had my fun before dying from receiving a scroll.

Definitely, the best game I think I’ve ever played, this was truly a masterpiece. And the playerlist was dope, particularly MUSH, Noraa, Pooky, Murderkitty, Owno, Shelley, Bell, Fidget, Hopkirk, Tayl0r - who I can thank for not getting scrolled D1 while I was V/LA. <3

I absolutely /loved/ this game.

Bar none, some of the strongest performances I've seen from town or scum ever in here, and Noraa's positively unbelievably deep pocketing of Pooky and the absolute /struggle/ everyone else had wrenching their brain around to Noraa scum despite /not/ being deeply pocketed -- that performance is easily topping that list.

Top of the list for town, I want to make sure it's on the record that Bell was an undeniable MVP. Bell's the one whose eleventh hour effortposting was phenomenal and would have been gamechanging in, I'd hazard, literally /any/ other Mafia game that was running this close. Bell's the one who got my head on track for Day 2 leading into the rolling red flip mid-game we had going, and I kept watching Bell's reads for my next pushes to keep those slots coming up red. I wanted Bell and UNOwen in the end game, because I felt like they together would be 100% guaranteed to hit the deepwolf -- Bell had the innate sense for scum-stink and UNOwen had the innate sense for non-stinky scum, between them they were damn near an unstoppable force (too bad about UNOwen, though...).

Bell and Noraa, the Death Curse MVPs. Outside of and on top of alignment wins, these two deserve to feel like winners individually. This was great stuff, my favorite game ever easily.

This game might have been more fun to watch the later stages of than play, it was very stressful :lol:

But yes I'm very happy to have been a part of it. I have some critiques of my own play but I guess it was just barely enough in the end.

Check what I had to say in the spec/dead-thread about my performance being worth literally anything. Spoiler: like 60% of that credit, MINIMUM, belongs to Bell, UNOwen, Gloria.

I just got finished reading through Bell's end game posts more deeply than I had done during the game. He's MVP, no question.

gg all
Thanks for modding Hectic, it was a fantastic game and definitely my favourite of games I've been in. Playerlist was great and the scroll mechanic made for a very tense final stage. The dayvig use was wonderful.

Glad we got the win in the end but Noraa deserves a lot of credit for turning things around after a bad start, she played extremely well and almost managed to win against what was a pretty strong town IMO. Could not have helped having scum three replace outs either.
