Hello all.
So. First of all, I love you Varsoon. There is no one who I would rather play a game with, against, or under the moderation of. <3
Now, a few points.
1) This town sucked. Except Shadow_step, I think, who was a fucking champion actively participating in the game after death. Kudos man. Much love.
2) The scum team, except Nahdia, also sucked.
3) Anyone(looking at you House) who wants to blame our slot for anything this game needs to back the fuck off Elbirn and fight me. I'm the one who was making the majority of the calls this game. Elbirn advised, but he didn't have the mechanical grasp on things that I did, so yeah. My fault.
4) Because of the above, yes, I fucked up, but not nearly as badly as you seem to think. Elbirn and I were suspicious of Nahdia(Elbirn in particular), and it wasn't until we received D&D's message vouching for them, which was followed by Mixed6 vouching for them as well, that we just said fuck it might as well trust them. I selected Nahdia for *1* hunt. The second hunt I was on she was only part of because Varsoon started the day early(since that was the night when I realized she was probscum), and she would have been removed had the day started at the actual deadline. The only special information I gave to Nahdia was regarding my role/vileblood membership.
5) Speaking of Varsoon starting the day early. None of this would have happened if the day hadn't started early. I went to my PT with dwlee to just say fuck it, let's lynch her, need to be safe, and found out it was locked already. I DID mishandle the situation, I should have at that point created a PT with dwlee to chat with him,but i was greedy and wanted to get up to 7 insight, but that shouldn't have been necessary. If the day doesn't start early on D5 or whatever, Nahdia is lynched by Dwlee and myself 100% of the time.
6) Now, Varsoon...did Nahdia actually trigger her nightmare event before the hammer happened, and you let her cancel it?
She says she went back and forth, and thinks the last choice was for it to be active before the hammer. If that's the case, and you let her change it afterwards, that's really really shitty man. Like, even worse than starting the day early, since I know there are town slots who tried to SUBMIT actions after the hammer which you didn't allow(for example, Dwlee, who should have had a vial to use to protect himself).
7)FA, I can post our logs from skype in the PT, we knew you were likely town but wanted you dead because anyone who uses a vig/gladiate on N1, when they have the least information possible, can't be trusted to not keep doing it.
8)Mechanically, the Amygdala slot was almost certainly a mistake. At 3k echoes it could easily gain access to a quad vote through transcendence+the hunters axe(though the problem was really transcendence more than anything else). In any case, from quite early on in the game it was very easy for that slot to speed lynch people by themselves in an unstoppable fashion(they even had a mechanical means of giving themselves EVEN MORE echoes and insight). Only fear of vigs kept them in check I'm assuming, and given that there were no unconditional vigs in the game, they could have easily ripped through the town even earlier than they did. The problem there though was transcendence more than anything else. The fact that the single greatest counter was negated by something those who had access to the greater power could likely purchase was a very big deal.
9) The town sucks, again. You all KNEW that Nahdia was scum, and had to be lynched, and yet nobody fucking showed up? Except Shinobi, who is a boss for doing so. Like, wtf guys? Do you realize that she had a lynch threshold of *3*, and if any single other person had shown up, she would have been lynched and the game saved?
10)KC, buying the old hunters bone was a terrible mistake. It didn't do anything to protect you from actually getting lynched(because the person most likely to vote for you could dump a buncha poison on you, thus bypassing the vote limitation of the bone), and it was an incredibly self serving action. Had we lynched Nahdia, that fact alone negated all the positive feelings I had about your slot due to your party selection on D1. OKay, maybe not that fact alone, but that plus the fact that you actually did claim Ghernam.
11) Speaking of D1 party composition. WTF man? Easy scum team hunting party on D1, and they would have all had at least 1 insight, with KC having 2, and one other member having 2, by the start of D2. MINIMUM. plus those echoes. And free fucking items from hunters dream, so they could have used all that money on getting the actual high ticket items.
Umm. I might have more thoughts. I think some people said some bullshit in this post game that should probably be addressed, but I don't remember what things they said.
The game state was restored to where it should have been, EXCEPT for the part where the day started at a time other than the deadline.
not too impressive to suss that out once you've made that assumption.
