[MattP]

Cool sauce

Enjoy your hammer jarvis

[Jarvis]

Hm. Alcohol would help this situation considerably.

Why did I say I'd hammer.

Matt, you said you could offer a shot at a kill-free night. How would you feel about no lynching?

[MattP]

That would be absolutely pointless

The reason this is good is that we can probably squeeze out two more town led lynches where as your proposal does nothing but make me waste my role

[DeasVail]

Ok, I don't know what I can do to show you otherwise, but I'm town and if we could just lynch MSH or Shamrock or

anyone

(except me) that would be amazing.

Like, could you look through my ISO again or something and reconsider?

Or maybe a deal would work!

If you lynch someone other than me and they end up being town, you can direct my vote the next day! How does that sound? Unbelievable, right?

So yeah, I don't know what to do...

[MattP]

Do you actually think shamrock is scum?

[Jarvis]

I'm not proposing it, just thinking through. See, I can't shake the original feeling I had about your leading the Vash lynch, which was that it was a bus. And hmm.

But no, I mustn't second guess myself. Doesn't work. Not going to buckle it now.

Yeah I've talked myself into it. But again, the alcohol...

WHOOSH BANG

VOTE: DeasVail

oh lol that post is basically a scumclaim anyway ALL THAT THOUGHT FOR NOTHING

"Blut und Eisen sollen Prussia erlauben, über die Welt zu herrschen. Nicht mehr Österreich so stark sein. Wir werden gewinnen." Otto Von Bismarck banged on the lectern to emphasise his points. The gathered Prussians erupted into spontaneous cheers, all chanting "Blut und Eisen, Blut und Eisen." Bismarck allowed himself a satisfied smirk. His work here was done.

A couple of hours later, the Prussian aristocrat was enjoying a moment of rare relaxation, sipping on his favourite beer. He was pleased with himself. The speech had done wonders, and everyone was supporting his bid to make Prussia a world power. Now all he had to do was rid himself of the minor annoyances of Denmark, Austria and France, before being able to be completely content.

The beer was going to his head, as he hadn't stopped to drink. He chuckled to himself, as the door flew open. "Traitor!" the people yelled, dragging him from his room. "You've betrayed Prussia!"

The Prussian tried to struggle, but the gang was too strong. They grabbed him, and tied him to a tree by his neck. There he remained, for all to see. Underneath, someone had scrawled three words:

Blood and Iron.

"Those Engleesh Pig-Dogs, siding with the Prussians. I will not have it!" Napoleon Bonaparte slammed his hand down on the desk. "We will win."

The short man paced up and down his war-room, trying to decide the best plan of action. "So let me get this straight. We've been attacking the English constantly for the last few days, and still they hold out? Tch! That pig-headed Wellington doesn't know anything." The Corsican took a deep swig of his wine before throwing the glass across the room. "Now, the treacherous Prussians have decided to attack us, meaning we have to fight two wars at once? Unacceptable."

The leader sighed, regretting his choice of throwing his wine across the room. He picked up the bottle, and took another deep glug from it. "Well, the correct choice is clear. We French never give up. Attack the English at first light, slaughter them all by lunchtime, then turn around and start marching towards the Prussians."

One of his advisors opened their mouth to speak, but Napoleon cut him off with a gesture and a threatening look. "No, no arguments, just do it."

Morning came, and Napoleon led the first charge. During a battle, it's easy to lose track of people, and despite the fact he was the most feared military leader of the time, Napoleon was split from the rest of his men. When they found his body, they knew that was the end.

Abraham Lincoln was riding a wave of huge success. He had been elected president, successfully guided the North through the Civil War, and abolished slavery. His speeches were awe-inspiring and rousing, and he had a magnificent beard.

He decided that he would take the night off, and go take in a play at the theatre. It was probably the worst decision of his life.

Shamrock - Abraham Lincoln - Vanilla Townie - Endgamed

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was the hero of the Bolshevik Revolution. He had come back from exile with his April Theses, and, along with the Red Guards, installed the Bolshevik regime in Russia. He then defeated all comers during the Civil War, leaving the Communists as the dominate party in Russia. No-one would argue against him. Most people couldn't.

Yet, somebody did.

Moderator Thoughts

Day 1

was an easy day for the Town. Vash was awful, and he left McStab in a fruitless position. Vash spent too long trying to make some madcap scheme where he and MattP could confirm each other as town, and his play was erratic and deserved the lynch. 1-0 to town.

Night 1

was, as usual, the night which one of my PRs was killed. It happens in every game. It was a great shot by the scum to kill Quilford, although keeping him alive could've meant that ChaosOmega would've been mislynched sooner. The Amrun kill was unexpected, but eh. Roleblocking IceGuy was great too, as it meant he wasted one of his shots. Night 1 was great for the scum after an awful Day 1. 1-1

Day 2

I have no fucking idea what went through DCLXVI's head. A miller claim on any day other than Day 1 is idiotic, and there was literally no reason for him to do it. If there had been a cop and they investigated him, he would've been found out, and it was bad enough play to warrant a lynching. 2-1 to the scum.

Night 2

Roleblocking ChaosOmega was a good idea, although didn't make a difference. Killing IceGuy saved MichelSableheart's ass, as if he had survived, then MichelSableheart would've been lynched. 3-1 to the scum.

Day 3

Lynching ChaosOmega was a pretty silly idea - you should've left him alive and at least let him try to kill someone. It was basically a free extra lynch if you did. MattP's claim was very outlandish, and I'm surprised it worked. It allowed him to free ride to victory. 4-1 to the scum.

Night 3

Killing Staeg was fair enough. Noone else could do anything. 5-1 to the scum.

Day 4

Masterful play by MattP allowed the mislynch, and ultimately the victory. Despite a terrible start, scum were helped by a combination of idiotic town play (fakeclaiming a miller) and great night play, as well as MattP's excellent claim.

If I were to do this again, I'd remove the motivator, as it was pretty pointless, and possibly have included a Jailkeeper or something else. Scum didn't use Daytalk as much as I had hoped either.

Anything about the game y'all wanna say? How was my modding?

Thanks for playing. My next game will be either a football-related Large Theme, which I will do with CDB, or some other Mini Theme which I will do by myself.

As an aside, scum have now won every game of mine except one of the Newbie Games I ran.

[DeasVail]

I thought the modding was great Nexus

Sorry to town for my bad play, especially to Shamrock!

And well done scum for getting the win, particularly MattP. You had us all completely fooled!

[Amrun]

NO WAY would MattP fail to account for vig as gunsmith - can't believe no one caught that.

[Nexus]

Also, there was talk of Bitmap (or was it Shamrock?) being conftown early in the game, and I was confused as to why? If it was because I told him not to put a quote from the game in his sig, that's silly if you think he's confirmed. I mean, he was town, but he was far from confirmed. I would've told anyone not to quote the ongoing game in their sig.

[Bitmap]

I pretty much derped Innocent Child this game. I kind of wish that I pushed MattP early and did something useful. Also, MattP knew too much from the start and his claim seemed like of a JOAT which I've usually seen is mafia aligned.

Anyways, gg MattP. You pretty much carried the game here.

[DeasVail]

I think it was because of him actually putting the sig there in the first place, not any mod-related action, but I didn't think he was conftown, just likely town.

[Bitmap]

MattP left a weird impression on me early game and I swear I thought he was town.

@Nexus: I believe it's mostly because MattP lead everyone to believe I was town and everyone just went with it.

[McStab]

Yeah, Vash left me in a tough spot to replace in, and this combined with some subpar play on my part made my slot an easy lynch Day One. Also, sorry for not claiming RB, for some reason I subconsciously read that as claim PR, and that you would counterclaim me (to MattP). So, my bad there as well, but it looks as though you guys did well anyway.

Also @Nexus, some really great flavour, I liked it.

[Quilford]

Is this setup balanced.
