Shame that one wrong call at night is likely to cost us the game.

If I'd played better/kept up, I'd be ranting a lot more, but that huge day 1 just killed me, so I can't talk despite being right about TWIE...

Once I got votes I just tried to keep the JK alive and draw out a vig CC. Some luck that the vig was already in the list of conf town.

Hopefully the possibility of a GF wreaks paranoia...only need 2 mislynches :)

The whole group saw he was being antitown. From the get go.

Self voting - Antitown.
Murder me - Antitown
CCing an investigative role after wanting to die - ZOMG LYNCH IT NOW!
Trying to out results and cop fish - Where is a good day vig when you need one?

His whole which one of you is the FN was just terribly fucking bad.

I have like no regrets on Jaquen lynch. He's not a newbie.

But my point was that all that started after you opened the day with a rather ridiculous push on him. I guess it doesn't matter anymore but I don't know that any of that would have happened if you hadn't opened day like you did.

@EE, That push isn't ridiculous. It's what is known as a reaction test. :nod: basically, you're doing something that throws someone off their guard to get them to indirectly reveal information about themselves or others. Fake day vigs were common until it was abused and any player with my level of experience or older rolls their eyes at them.

Scum aren't going to dance and say I am scum.

@IAI, me as cop...really? Why?

@Eagle: I get it, but understand that it's probably a 1 game thing. We can probably talk it out more in post.

@Titus: Yeah, I feel I really should have shut down the Alchemist thought harder than I did. I just didn't want to out myself more than I already did. I thought I was extremely transparent to you about my thought process and that you knew I was going to solidify the town block and ease paranoia on Elyse. If I wasn't there I would have been on Auntie J. And I was being coy near the end because I thought you were softing cop to me. I was essentially telling you that you could look into Alch but I was not making him a priority for night investigations. I was hoping to revisit that conversation on d3.

And I really feel like I should see who suggested the SK idea first on d2. I thought Itlepip was an overeager vig shot. If it's not on the list of dead of conf. towns, that's scum.

Wasn't me, one of the others swore by it, u can ask him post game.

I even pointed out the "hard town" read each day by TWIE, first with MOHIS, then grapes, then EP, but I was told that TWIE gambits all the time so I was overruled.

Ps - Titus I think one post you started questioning a JK or roleblocker, I believe that had something to do with it.

So then once you've decided he a town, bcp off instead of pushing harder. You pushed a reaction test and then kept pushing even after apparently you had a town read on him.

@sg hopefully. I've claimed down a bit more and looked at it without all my emotions swirling around like crazy and it does look like it was probably my fault and it just kept spiraling out of control. But yes, it's probably better to talk about post game.

I've never replaced out of a game before, but if I'm ever Scum with a certain 2 I'll be out with my first post. They have WAY more ego than talent.

IAI and I should both still be alive.

Lol. Garmr just loltunneled me. That's the second game in a row scum have done that to me and I've kept from directly scum reading them because I was afraid of OMGUS ing them. Im about to just up and coin a term about it because holy cow. It's a pretty amateur play, though.

Garments isn't a person I'm really interested in playing with again, though. He didn't seem to have too many active brain cells.

He's not really bad, he's just not as good as he thinks he is. Same with Elyse.

There are very few outstanding players in any alignment.

A good rule of thumb is be prepared to bus your partners if necessary but don't rush to do the job.

O used to think bussing was the way to go because it won me my first game(death tunneled lurking teammate) but Titus taught me otherwise.

It depends on the situation and what benefit you can get. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is to consider the long-term effects of something before you do it.

Just a quick question to those who have played in a few of my 'You could be anyone' games. Do you prefer real people, or the new fictional characters?

I have no preference, actually, both are equally fun.

Which is exactly why you should have, after I was lynched and came clean on exactly what I was doing, LOOKED INTO IT. Instead it was completely ignored. It would have, AT THE VERY LEAST, lynched Elyse and Garmr.

I recognized that this game, knew I was expendable, and proceeded with a play to help town win. I needed, at that point, to die ASAP.

I think people just enjoy playing a game you run, Jason, because they're well put together and moderated. The subject matter and preface could be about anything or nothing at all as far as I'm concerned.
