I cannot adequately express how utterly ashamed I am of those last three days' play. Watching that unfold was simply gut-wrenching.
Lynching RC without letting him do anything was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.
Accountant was obviously scum there. 'fmpov' in the most timid way possible is absolutely not town. No idea why you think he played well there at all Kaboose.
The main problem, though, was the complete lack of coherency among the town at any point in the game. The only reason we got so much as one scum lynched was because they were in a similar boat.- Kaboose

No idea why I didn't get lynched on policy for lynching 2 scum in a row - this setup encourages bussing.There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.
You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.- RadiantCowbells

There isn't really data on games where scum does not have private communication.- Accountant

That really doesn't matter that much relative to town losing in 2 mislynches.- BROseidon

It's two mislynches and two coordinated kills between three people.- BROseidon

Not really, since each time town lynches scum it becomes easier for scum to land the kill. Here's the two extreme scenarios that can happen assuming that any scum group larger than 1 person always misses (so most favorable to town):
This game: lynch scum day 1, lynch scum day 2. 2 mislynches and lose.
Town really sucks: Lynch town day 1, lynch town day 2, lynch town day 3 - 3 mislynches and lose, 2 if scum quick hammer day 2 and coordinate a target.
No matter what, you've set up a game where town loses unless they lynch scumliterally more than they lynch town, which is really, really unfair. We lynched scum 50% this game and still lost. This could have been balanced by giving town much better power (full doc instead of a bg + a cop instead of a tracker), but then you just make a really swingy setup. Going with 2 scum and limited town power would have been a much better option (that said, I think this concept in general is better suited for a 13-15p game so that lynching 1 scum doesn't end it. 11:4 would probably be ideal).- BROseidon

TheCow double-investiaging not_mafia instead of using one of those investigates on literally anyone else may have actually cost town the game (if the second person targeted had been Ricastle it wouldn't have mattered). Having a result on me, PC, or Accountant would have made the game very different.- BROseidon

Plus speedlynching me.
Just generally both are extremely poor town players.
And they're not poor town players in the sense of they're bad scumhunters or they look scummy; I can handle that. They just don't even fucking try as town and make terrible lynches without making an effort and then blame the people they lynch. Cow quickhammered me when I was cop in our last game.2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.- Kaboose
