Deadline's in 24 hours, and nobody's doing anything. I will hammer geraintm if required to avoid a no-elimination. Sorry for not being able to focus much on this game.

I don't have much to say, I got prodded but when I went to bed last night only 2 people had posted anything.
I fear I am going to get lynched because titus says so and has the strongest voice and there is zero enthusiasm from anyone left in the game to do anything else
GG. I feel really good about my subin here. All hail VCA.
Gamma, why did you try to provoke me.

@
Mod
: The Mafia PT is not public yet. (I assume you're waiting for redactions or the like.) Could you let me know when it's public; I've been interested in reading it all game!
Mafia Watcher explains where the setup balance is coming from. I was wondering if the scum had an extra investigative. (Much of my reluctance to eliminate geraintm was that I was seriously considering the possibility of a 9:4 with Frogsterking and Titus as scum, something that could be guarded against by eliminating Frogster first. Eventually, my setup balance knowledge overrode that read, "it can't possibly be a 9:4, surely?", but I get so paranoid as town. At least eliminating geraintm first meant that we could get out of this game faster.)
My reads were rather off this game (although I caught Gamma, and my reads were at least good enough to win, as I would have eliminated geraintm over Nosferatu after the Day 4 discussion); I think I townread every member of the scumteam for much of the game. I am, however, generally happy with my play apart from my reads. I found #358/#359/#360 hilarious; as VT I normally don't care at all about surviving the nightkill, but because I had such a late-game-oriented power role, I was (for the first time in my townie career) actively playing to dodge the nightkill, and it ended up paying off (after the Gamma elimination, scum couldn't nightkill me without automatically losing, so I got to confirm all the players but one).
I still don't understand pretty much anything that scum did, which is why I'm so eager to read the scum PT. #352/#354 was also pretty funny in retrospect; Nosferatu thinks "scum playing in too townsided a fashion and getting caught by PoE" is something that doesn't happen, but I think it ended up happening this game (not in the same way that I discussed in #352, but it still happened).
I should mention that this was a pretty difficult playerlist to play with, not in terms of personality (there's nobody here I hate talking to and many of the players were a lot of fun to be around), but in terms of readability. There were players who rarely explain anything (RCEnigma, Not_Mafia), players who naturally tend not to scumhunt much and are hard to read as a result (geraintm, Nosferatu), players whose thought process is completely alien to me (Frogsterking) or familiar but sufficiently different from mine that it's hard for me to follow (Titus), and a large number of lurkers. That might help to explain why my reads were so off (I did end up reading Tayl0r and Raya, two players who play more "traditionally", correctly, but that might be coincidence). Or maybe I was just being bad at reading people again.

Yep, and i'll post when it's ready to release. Same with the Neighborhood.
Thank you everyone for playing!
Special thanks to Datisi for back up modding and resolving night actions while I was busy with work.

I really don’t know what I was doing either, guess I can’t pitch a winner every game. Would rather have a volatile amount of skill than a consistent one tbh.

Geraintm you stinker. Great game. That last post from you convinced me you were scum. My bad Frogster.
@Titus: I’m gonna have to learn VCA because you had it down.
I really enjoyed myself. This was a great game and a great group of players. Can’t wait to discuss it.

Thank you for putting me out of my misery. This game has not been fun to play at all. Will post more tomorrow when I have time, but I don't think scum could have gone worse at nearly every single stage of it.
