Reading the other scum QT out of order right now, and thoughts roughly as I go (will save more for another post):
-We were thinking of the Austerity Measures + Deadline plan, but worked out that it screws the scum over more than the town since Austerity Measures resolves after the wage and bonuses (because some town might have under $100, while all scum get more than that every day).
-It's embarrassing how many mistakes we made over role resolutions this game. We did not find out that Messenger was a
day
action until we tried sending Muffin a message during N4 and were told, "Nope!"
-I love that the other team was as shocked by Hermy's flip as we were.
-@the other team looking for cues to who they should vote: I put off voting Nero D2 for so long because I figured you'd be looking out for that. You guys should have watched Pyro on N2! And my interactions with my partners this game were painfully obvious ("Yeah, uh, this player is totally scummy...but here, let me softly defend them for three paragraphs to the people voting them.")
-The point of the advertising post was 1) to look town, and 2) to clear upside down so he could make it into the top six. We'd advertised cop based on a misunderstanding of the set-up, so I figured we might as well capitalize on it.
-Yes, "How does it feel to be in the same camp as Nero?" was a blatant signal. Muffin messed with my head this game. If we'd only received KA's money, his guilt would have been obvious, but we were transferred $176 (which meant either KA or Muffin could have been the liar). N correctly spotted that Seanald could have sent us his $80 and Muffin nothing for the math to add up. But we were still paranoid. (upside down never getting his money from PeregrineV also sent me into spiraling paranoia about town roles that could interfere with night actions.) And I could see town conceivably not sending money as a gambit or reaction test. I voted KA and made a few comments at the beginning of D4 to set up a "Yeah, my money didn't add up!" claim just in case it became obvious you were gambiting town.
-Shit, Left Hand was the $355 bid on Neighbourizer? Sorry! ;_; I only bid so much on Neighbourizer because we were filthy rich and assumed that people in the town bloc like Peregrine or pieguyn could outbid the LH team. (Also, I had to do protown justifiable things with the money everyone knew I had.) And when we bid on it, we were really confident Muffin was scum, but then the innocent fucked with our heads.
-
was that extra hour extension really necessary? were there people who were frantically ISOing people in thread who were like, "OH FUCK NOW I CAN'T READ ISOS ANYMORE, PLEASE MAGUA EXTEND THE NIGHT PHASE JUST AN HOUR, JUST ONE MORE HOUR!"?
...um...this isn't as shocking as you'd think.
*hides under a rock*
-I was so close to neighbourizing Muffin, but then we were all, "Omigod, let's be REALLY, REALLY 100% SURE Harakiri is town and then NK him tonight!" I actually think it worked out well, because it allowed us to manipulate them better, made him look like our partner (thus deflecting ProHawk's paranoia onto them), and helped us recover from the $1 mistake. But you guys were supposed to pick up Messenger, dammit!
-I felt bad for not making it more obvious on D4 I'd won cop (I did make a deliberate cop slip, but it was too obscure to pick up on)...but why the fuck did you activate Investigation Immunity on a night you KNEW scum had the cop? The reason I claimed cop on D4 wasn't to protect Nero, but to signal to the other team that they SHOULDN'T use II tonight. I knew the N4 investigation was meaningless, but if I'd got an innocent on N5? Hell,
yes
, I would have assumed you were town. The only reason we had lingering doubts on eagle was because we could see him being silly enough to do something like that.
), or that Harakiri was too paranoid to claim in the QT, or that the other team hammered, or that there might have been a role that could block our kill if we outed ourselves. Slow-playing in LYLO when no one on your team is in danger of a lynch is always the best move.
