I'm on a laptop at a coffee shop right now because my internet is totally out at home, so a lot of things will have to wait until later (unlocking of scum threads for example).

But a few quick thoughts:

1. Thank you to my mods: quadz, Nexus, Equinox, hitorogorshi and Magua
2. ESPECIALLY Magua. He designed a hilarious setup in a matter of a day or so because I messed up. He did so without getting angry (as would have been his right), and I actually think his game was pretty terrific.
3. My apologies overall to everyone involved with the mess up.
4. Some people wondered about the side selection and whether it was flawed: it wasn't. It was simply that people spent a LOT of tokens on being town, particularly in the Vanilla Nightless.
5. Young and Beautiful were the only team that won all four games. I know it was suggested in the dead thread that something other than wins should determine things, but ultimately any team that is perfect in their games should be eligible for a victory.
6. Replacements were interestingly an issue this time around. The policy was pretty similar to last time, and future iterations will have this policy reexamined, but I want to emphasize that there is zero chance players will be modkilled for flaking or replacing.
7. The large theme was in theory a well devised setup for our needs: it was 20 players large, but it couldn't last a ton longer than the other games, but it couldn't just have killing roles added willy-nilly. That said, in the future (and I've said this every time), I want to focus on simpler setups. I think Team Mafia is already complex enough with enough moving parts that a setup that is difficult to understand probably isn't the best place. That said, I think hito's setup was pretty great.
8. Six games was a lot. I'm not sure I liked having a micro involved.

Anyway, there's a lot more I want to talk about, but it involves having internet on my main computer. Please leave any CIVIL comments here!

Thanks everyone for playing. Don't forget to nominate individuals for scummies. With 6 games and some of the best players in the game, surely there's something you want to nominate!

[ActionDan]

Sorry for flaking at the end of the large theme. Titus' death affected me definitely. And the outcome of the game was a forgone conclusion.

[Untrod Tripod]

singer for MVP

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Congrats Y&B!

Thanks for the special mentions from Anen and Wgeurts

I really thought we had a good shot of winning this. Maybe next time.

[ActionDan]

Ya she did quite well.

[vezokpiraka]

singer for MVP

Singer was definitely MVP, but you also played a good game.

Most of the players in the game played well.

[Cheetory6]

I would nominate signer for a scummy if there was one for "best individual town performance in a game".
Because she absolutely killed it this game.

[Nachomamma8]

Thank you to everyone with the exception of zoraster!

[ActionDan]

I just enjoyed tricking shadoweh in the end, even as each minor day became progressively more painful

[ActionDan]

Btw. Did singer's team actually spend 2 town tokens on Regfan and 3 town tokens on empire?

[notscience]

We spent all of our tokens getting the games we wanted

Yes.

[Fenchurch]

Loads and loads of thanks to zoraster and all the game mods and a whole bunch of the players.

I really enjoyed my game, and the format. It was especially great actually being at a meet with my team for a critical stage of my game, and being able to consult them thoroughly on the best play. I also enjoyed that even after I died, I could still read and influence the other games. All in all, a really fun experience.

Yes.

[EspeciallyTheLies]

I approve. Well done.

(i'd like to now apologize to the town from Twin Trap - yall did a great job. ily. ♥ )

But seriously Mina - we really did spend 5 tokens to get Anti town in the large theme

[Alchemist21]

We love you too.
