pisskop, why did you hint at Firebringer being your monk partner?

That was quite literally the only reason that I dropped my suspicion altogether on the slot.

Firebringer, why didn't you kill me N2? That would have been the time to do it. Eliminating a player who could not be mafiate was ideal then. Leaving me alive is what allowed the wolves to more accurately nightkill/lynch players D3. (At least I don't feel too terribly bad about being on the Yakko lynch. It seems everyone in the dead thread thought Yakko was scum, too.)

I think one of the main problems in this setup is that it, quite literally, relies on crosskills in order to win.

Losing from three mislynches is something you'd see in a micro, but in a game that's this size, a town losing after three mislynches and one crosskill shouldn't happen. Simply put, there wasn't enough lynches. Let's say two town died each night. Even with a scum lynch two days in a row, that's four town dead by D3 if they were of opposite factions. That places them at being only 5/7 players alive. Keep in mind, this is off of near-optimal town play. If eliminating a scum faction by D3, that's 6/8. Simply put, the town does not have enough of an influence on the game. They have to play perfectly or they have to hope scum kill scum; there's no room for error.
Quite the RANGE.

I want to apologize for the replace out, I rarely do that, but I just couldn't engage the game properly. I legit had no idea what was going on and it was 30 pages in.

Yeah, I started to write a post last night saying the same thing but misclicked back and didn't feel like writing it again.
