I have to say I fully expected scum!Haschel to vote me when I first cast my vote on the last day. Like, if you had, I would have been *sure* you were scum. The fact that he didn't came *that* close to making me switch my vote. As it was, I was only slightly more confident than a coin flip.
But at the same time, Haschel on that last day just didn't feel at all like Haschel at earlier points in the game. Felt to me like he was giving up, in a way. Ugh. Sorry, HC.
And well played Luke and STD.- fferyllt

I just wanna say that Luke almost legit hurt my feelings on d2 when you turned that wall on me. To the point where it kinda made me start playing things closer to the vest, I think. I really could not get a read on you one way or the other, but I found myself feeling like you were town, and then when I thought about it I couldn't really say why, which made me think you might be scum, and round and round I went.
Anyway you threw enough garbage into the water that it worked; in the end I put a lot more stock in trying to figure out Luke, the confirmed scum, than I did trying to figure out the 2 possible scum players, which I guess was my mistake. Lesson learned?

I'm sorry :/
I mean, I was trying to frame you, but I never meant for it to hurt your feeling or anything. I made comments on that the scum team would be pushing their partner hard, right after I pushed you really hard.
I actually told STD that the path to victory was likely:
Day 3: Elim Zyla or Hockey
Day 4: Elim Pav.
HC actually a bit of a back up plan. Basically exactly what you said here:
I was pretty sure that one of Zyla or Hockey had to be going down Day 3, because I had pocketed them hard enough that they both defended me at various points, and I also defended them. But for day 4, I tried to set it up so that "if they think I was scum reading/pushing my partner, then they will miselim Pav" but, on the other hand "if they think I would avoid scum reading my partner, they will miselim HC" I tried to situate my real partner kind of in the middle of that dichotomyIn post 1289, Pavowski wrote:He has to know anything he says will be measured and turned inside out. But that brings me back to Haschel, whom he mostly steers away from in those final posts. That feels tactical.I have a GTKAS now! - Come ask me questions!

This. 100% this. Azeru nearly singlehandedly won the game for town. I was pretty sure we lost as soon as Day 2 startedIn post 1306, Save The Dragons wrote:gg guys
I think Luke did a great job, he came up with most of the ideas as evidenced by the mafia PT.I'm surprised we pulled it off, we got really wrecked by the jailkeeper, but i think luke's push on me D2 really helped.
Thanks fferyllt!
What did helped us turn it around was that the very first post of Day 2 was Cyrus claiming that I did not move. -- Scum normally do not know if they were the target of the jailkeeper, or if their NK target was. But as soon as I saw that, I immediately knew exactly how both of the PRs had targeted, which helped me have a better plan for Day 2.
But even then, it was an uphill battle from the moment Azeru targeted meI have a GTKAS now! - Come ask me questions!

You did a great job too. You got put into a 1v6, and you managed to pull that off.

What I meant was it just blindsided me that you made this huge case that "Pav is scum and here's why". I was just straight-up bamboozled. And after you dropped it, I was afraid it was gonna turn into a miselim on me there d2.
In the end though, turns out I was right to be skurrd of scum!Luke- Lukewarm

It is hard. Once people start to doubt you, they often start looking at you more closely, which leads to them finding things to nitpick over, and doubt you even more. It is often really hard to pull it back, once a few people are suspicious -- especially in your first game.In post 1310, StrangeMatter wrote:Really wish I could’ve gotten Town off me, but oh well.

I can point to several moments where Cyrus's chaos threw a monkey wrench into this game. Having him gone d4 calmed things down significantly... But I think the change of pace made me impatient, too.In post 1308, Lukewarm wrote:

It's hard to do. I was just in a mini normal where I made a couple of lazy reads, got scum read for it, and got quick hammered. As soon as somebody gets their eye on you, you almost have to hope for somebody else to create a distraction to take it off.In post 1310, StrangeMatter wrote:Really wish I could’ve gotten Town off me, but oh well.- fferyllt

Once again, thank you all for playing!
Players, you're encouraged to keep playing newbies as long as you like, of course, but I humbly suggest trying out some of the other queues, if you're feeling brave and would like to check out other game styles and sizes!

I forgot to give all of you props for this! I can't remember when (or if!) last I've modded a newbie game that didn't require a single replacement.
Good onya!Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
