It is a time of CELEBRATION to be had, so all may REJOICE!

You can BASK in the GLORY of having achieved a GREAT TRIUMPH.

This great FEAT was made possible only through SACRIFICE, and for that always REMEMBER the PRICE your SAVIOR paid.

I laid the PATH by which the town would achieve VICTORY, so my SALVATION has fully MANIFESTED.

I am kinda bummed that my death so early wiped out my own great ACHIEVEMENT tho.

I genuinely never top the post count in my games, ever. I'm always in the middle of the pack: never the bottom, but never the top. I'm at around my placement in TFT games: 4th-6th on average with the occasional 2nd-3rd and the annoyingly-low 7th/8th.

But this game, I was in first place and looking like I was going to maintain it. I posted more in this game than I have in nearly any other in such a timeframe. So I was looking forward to that crowning ACHIEVEMENT, only to be STRUCK DOWN and quickly have it LOST to the sea of time. It carried through to the realm of the deceased for some time, but even I in my GLORIOUS PRESENCE could not maintain that level of DIVINE INTERVENTION for too long, so to BASK in it was a period all too brief.

All that said: I'll take being a D1 scum kill. :P

It ain't often that I get the HONOR of being the first SLAIN by the FORCES OF EVIL.

I was genuinely SHOOKETH by the REVELATION that I had LEFT the MORTAL COIL, but also quite satisfied, for it meant I was given a sign of RESPECT fit for my DIVINE WORD.

(Also keeping me alive would've been bad for the town since most of my reads weren't great. :shifty:)

Tbh I didn’t read much of a thread because I had such a short time and I tend to focus on raw facts to avoid squishy emotions.

From a mechanical facts perspective Titus soaked a lot of scum shots so that’s impressive.

I don’t feel I can comment on the play itself as I didn’t read much.

Also deploying hugs to Mastina <3
ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure.

For the record, I had assumed that all hoods made would remain after I melded with Frogsterking. I was told that we still retained the role, so I was a bit surprised when hoods broke. I should have asked.

If my interpretation was correct, we would have had an all town thing like Suidoken with an unkillable tank in the middle.

My role was played optimally, but definitely not neutered because of scum power. If scum had shot around me (I was and am drowned in RL), then I think they win.

cause i think it only happens when said scum already has a guilty on them, and isn't trying to hide anymore, and the method is usually spamming, not non-standard posting.
people often scumread what is to them weird behavior. my expectation is that such yeets have less than rand accuracy overall, since scum have more of a motivation to blend in where townies want to be right.
didn't note it at the time but fred correcting himself about the meaning of the term "p-value" was probs a towntell.

Yeah it is something I've observed scum doing. It's aggressive and helpful for staying alive. I think a few awkward or extremely misguided posts which seem to be coming from a good place (or not even) can stop Town from finding each other and it's necessary to disrupt the thread in order to survive sometimes. I agree though about non-standard posting and that Fred was probably findable as Town.

My role PM said that it deals damage to everyone sharing a neighbourhood. You would have been sharing a scum PT with Enchant, but not a neighbourhood, however.

if you have a notes pt you should be able to edit it now, feel free to release it at your own choice!
i didn't include the threads that had like, one post in them/were just because we needed the thread in case of interactions from roles later (mafia jade hoods), etc

i am not very smart so i am going to figure out how to release the discord chats that the hydras used Soon tm and then share them (:

Mage Crest - everyone's actions doubled for one day/night
Ancient Archives - setup info (what traits existed/didn't)
Cursed Crown - turns off all protectives and also you get more alts a la new recruit
Age of Dragons - no more elims during the day for two days, instead you would target each other in thread with shots to kill
Verdant Veil - mass ascetic for the night

mala's powers were based on the in-game mirage traits which change every game (Spellsword, Executioner, Warlord, Electrocute, Pirate, Dawnbringer, Duelist) which we decided randomly each day. she got warlord (being on elim wagon = awards, she was loved and received cop shot from it), pirate (get passive item that defended from things like cannoneer that could turn into a full 1-shot vest if activated), i think those were the only ones that were relevant

sara's power would have ramped up more from announcing post to mailman, roleblocker, rolecop, 1-shot protective, 1-shot vig, and then repeated basically scaling in intensity

similarly meek/math's ability was tracker->psych->rolecop->cop
