The room for error was incredibly small and one mistake could pretty much lose the game immediately for the town-side.
I was very happy with how it ended up playing out with the town having multiple chances at forcing a victory and the scum battling back to salvage their position through cunning counterplay.
For example there was a real chance the "deathpool" would've contained two scum if Oka had forced Ydra/Fire into the "Deathpool" but the scum team did end up pairing up with Hectic instead and somehow managed to get Oka paired with Fire ? Which was very mindboggling :3.
Even after removing oka, fire, mom, the town had a good shot of winning if the UTRs in unwnd/noraa had paired up but the scum did a brilliant job of getting paired up with the most widely townread players instead.
I think both sides played fantastically well and it was a hard fought / well deserved victory.
yes!! that overall is the scumplan is to get paired with hard town in order to reduce chances of dying - harley and ydrasse did great there to refuse LHF pairs :3
I wouldn’t pair with anyone as town either if they were sr me. Only way I pair with a sr as town is if I’m extremely confident they’re scum and want to use it like a vig - something that I’ve yet to ever. I’m pretty survivalistic as either alignment.
yeah i do have to blame myself for pairing with fire there. i played right into scum's hands whether they intended to or not and that probably costed us the game.
Oh it was you who did that? Wild.

They were literally the only players still left in the game who were doubting each other’s alignment, so they were never going to pair up.

I told y'all Harley was scum lol.
and that hectic/ydrasse had scummmm
You had Hectic as lockscum and thought I might be his buddy, which I thought was really hilarious, considering how he had been interacting with me.

You were the least sure on Ydrasse.
ydrasse was supposed to be our endgamer so
Well really never know how that would have played out since Hectic was confident on his sr of her but less sure on me. It would have been wild had Noraa/unwnd actually paired up and one of them still leave due to paranoia.

Thanks Pooky for moderating this. Gg everyone. @Hectic, probably should enjoy the scum PT more than anyone else.
@You should never lockscum read me if you believe it’s 100% to my town meta to hard omgus you. You pretty much sr me for NOT doing that in Fifth, so kind’ve shaking my damn head at that. lololol
But just like you didn’t believe me when I told you honestly I didn’t know Infinity got hammered until the mod literally posted it, I was afk when you pushed the narrative that my somehow having a rl was scum indicative. So the salt was real because activity is always and WILL always be 100% nai for me and ALWAYS a terrible reason to alignment read me ever. Still you’re one of my favourite people on site and I still felt kind’ve bad about that but I would 100% react that way to alignment-based activity reads irrespective of alignment because I know when it comes to me, they’re basically trash.

Congratulations to Fire/Koba, Ydrasse and Harley.
Well played all around, I found this setup quite enjoyable.
Pooky never invite me again.

A swing and a miss my dear.
I do not believe I have the option to redact anything, so have at it

it's all good, oka. you weren't having fun and your own enjoyment is more important than winning the game.
well played, ydrasse/harley. sorry for leaving, hatters.

If I have a suggestion for you, is to quit with the activity-based gotcha stuff. 99% of the time, it will be wrong and the 1% you would have actually caught me would just wind up backfiring on you because I would just use it against you - irrespective of what our respective alignments would actually be in any given game.

Two people thus far have expressed a mild concern over this gimmick. I am glad there is someone aside from I whom enjoys it.

No need to apologise, I fully believe you were playing to your win condition.
