It was useless at night but the player who died with it (should have) been flipped as "town-aligned" because I am a """fun""" mod. I was super hoping someone would die with it while holding the dagger so they'd be a "Murderer (town-aligned assassin)"

Now that would have been hilarious to watch.

Realising the jar was useless when Lumpen died after using it was :allears: Shoulda roleblocked ljtri that night (thanks qpq for the boards)

Thanks BK! I was worried about suspicion on me earlier, but it looks like passing the pearl to Rarity put me solidly in town for a good while for most people.

This game seems a little skewed towards a scum victory. But I had fun and I thought I got sam for sure but for some reason I never even imagined there would be a second scum left.

Especially considering Hal and I were the only one's left so they should have already won anyway because they would technically have controlled 50% of the vote anyway.

You didn't win or get end gamed in the complete bullshit game. Therefore lynch all liars. ;)

The pearl holder was at -1 to dunk, so you still had a chance.

The reason why scum didn't autowin I think is that there were 3 votes of 4 required to lynch, making the pearl essential to win for that day. If both town voted me before Samfu turned up and then the surviving town player voted me the next day, they could have won. It would have been hilarious if when 1 vote is required to win, holding the hated pearl resulted in auto lynch.

I thought you were town because I roleblocked you the first night I was in the game because I figured youd try to kill me but when you didn't really respond to it and didnt mention a roleblock I figured you were vanilla, probably town.

I think it haunted town more because us scum were able to use it more effectively. Plus it stopped LJ from harpooning someone on N3.

I was a terrible townclear.

However, I am heartened by the fact that I was right about Lumpen for all of those posts. I feel people were more concerned with how rude/moody I was being than the content I was presenting. Well, cya.

You did a good thing by pooning Lumpen. Your mistake was just not doing it earlier.

And yeah diqnol, the big fight you got in with merk allowed us to discredit you more.

Thoughts:
1) I think Diqnol sacrificed his win condition when going all in on me being scum. I would have backed away from casing him if he backed away from my case, and I think he would've won if that happened. If I'm actually scum, the scum have to night kill him. If I'm town, he gets lynched. I don't see how he wins with how he played on me d1.
2) The scum actually had a strategy of 'we can get merk lynched.' That was their entire d2 strategy. Lumpen made a great case on me that I think sealed it.
3) I really liked the setup. I had some sour grapes about the pearl in lylo because I think more often than not it eventually gets to scum in the end anyway, but I think the Hated status really balances it out. It was a race condition between the pearl holder and CPig/Hal showing up to the thread. Really cool.
4) I 100% agree with Ecco's decision to modkill f_v. Lumpen, what the hell?
5) The game, even though I was lynched and lost, was a personal win for me because I convinced a Town TNL that I was town in spite of everyone else saying otherwise. :shobon:

Good game scum. I had some moments earlier and wish I had made it to later days.

Keane not voting may have cost us the game, it could have been the difference between lynching merk and getting him another day + scum lynch. Voting is such a huge part of this game, not voting as a townie means you're gimping your team and ceding control of the lynch to the scum. That kind of poo poo may be fun for the person pulling a gimmick like that, but for everyone else it's frustrating to see someone sit on their hands for no reason.

I was a little weirded out by you Keane, but it was also funny that you said you were a ghost because the dagger we had stated that it not only killed the body, it also dissipated the soul.

Sorry everyone, the last few days coincided with my barely being available and if I had been I would have pushed Samfu much harder since I though he was scum from like the first post he made but never got the time to make a good case on him. I am disappointed in myself but the timing of when this thread was open just ended up really being against me (mostly because of work).

I think Ecco handled everything properly from what I can see, but regardless the scum did a good job overall and they should be commended.

You saw a wagon on me that had Sam, Sam, and Lumpen, and you jumped on it.

As I said, I didn't have the mental wherewithal to think critically. I made a few assumptions early on and never re-examined them. It just took too much effort and I was too tired to even verify if my posts made sense. My vote on you, referencing WIFOM, is a good example of this. In absence of my thoughts, I gravitated toward people that seemed confident in their reads. What happened is that I read an earlier post from Lumpen, thought he had put effort into said post, and blindly echoed his sentiments. Events like these happened more often that I would like to admit and it contributed to the town's loss.

Of course, these realizations provide very little solace now. All I can do is try to avoid repeating these errors in the future. Unfortunately, I have a recurring problem where I see something I am interested in and bend over backwards to get involved in it, even if my schedule doesn't fit. If I don't flake, I produce a really poor quality product that has little thought put into it. My brief foray into the Let's Play forum and my participation in Creative Convention's Thunderdome are examples of this tendency. I've gotten a little better at dealing with the issue, but I really need to recognize my limitations before I decide to participate.

I'm sorry you got lynched. It was a dumb vote and I probably would have rejected the bandwagon in any other situation. While the game was balanced toward the Mafia, actions like these are what made scum victory inevitable.

QPQ I actually started treating you mentally as part of the scum team D2, and none of your posts seemed out of place. Some mild bussing but nothing serious.

N2 I actually forgot you weren't scum when thinking about the game.
