Cheers, the worst, now the small matter of my problematic wincon has been settled, hopefully I get to be the same side as you in another game and we can power to victory with our plant-based proteins :)

i think i blew a fuse multiple times this game but otherwise was fun !

That's pretty incredible haha

I havent been mislim'd in ages I believe, this game serves as shock that either the site meta is less forgiving towards my playstyle now or I am rusty and don't actually play like I used to

your lim was pretty heavily scum influenced, and was also a goofy deadline scramble. i think bingle was too secure for the wagon to swing against him, and there weren't really any other serious contenders. i think we would have been better off had we lim'd Ali d1 (withdrawn if e was the 8-ball :P ), but as a townie who didn't do enough on d1-d2: i think it was mostly the town's fault for letting that go through.

Okay, now that I can stop lying: my hammer day 2 was in fact a scum claim. I did it because imagine asked me to and the Taly hammer that wasn’t + the replacements had me slightly tilted.

My not being around both during duck and tweet paranoiaing and ss and tweet paranoiaing were both unavoidable RL things, although I knew my presence in those times was important to winning the game.

Thanks for the game, particularly SS. That last phase was the most fun I’ve had in a while, and definitely Mr dargons for putting up with us. I hope there’s no hard feelings House, I knew tilting you was my best shot at winning here so I was being a little bit more in your face than I normally prefer.

And damn but this playerlist was a good one.

absolutely. <3

sorry that it seemed like I was shading for your literally not being around; it was more of a "I think town!bingle seeing *waves hands* is more likely to realise that he needs to seriously reevaluate" kinda vibe.

FWIW I thought you were obvtown. Something to do with not posting in the scum PT, probably, but I like to think I'd have townread your play regardless.

I don't know. :(

The reason I remember Wisdom so well is because he -never- explained his reads or made cases, and didn't get mislimmed despite that.

I don’t recall Wisdom never explaining himself, just only explaining things when absolutely necessary.

But yeah, a lot of the players who used to be virtually untouchable as eliminations aren’t nearly as hard to kill as they used to be. At least those ones that are still around.

And fwiw in the current meta I think both ducky and Taly are harder mislims, though probably not by much. Heading into this game I said that I could see any elimination D1 without any being exceptionally more likely, and I stand by that.

Also, I really don’t think that fighting for your 8ball is a good idea as scum and

in the case where 8 balling No Elim is allowed it's basically always the right play D1.
