If i'm honest, by the end I kind of felt closer to townie than I actually was. I even accidentally missed a hammer because I wasn't paying attention

It's a little satisfying reading through the threads and seeing so minimal suspicion of me! Also for dragon: I didn't push you more early because I wanted to have more faith in me late game. I wanted to appear terribly, terribly innocent.

Thank you! I feel like it was a good first game, but a lot of my benefit of the doubt from being new will be absolutely unusable now. I will say though, a lot of the questions I asked during the game WERE actually genuine, not just acts. I had to spend so much time looking up glossary stuff here and there

Now that the game is over, I can explain what happened that caused DragonEater70's replacement.

First off neither he nor anyone else did anything wrong. It was a bug in the private threads functionality.

The default settings for notifications give users a notification if one of their posts has been quoted. And at Mafiascum, those notifications are turned off in the private threads.

Kanna had asked for edit abillities in her notes PT because she was using the PT to draft posts that she would later make in the main thread. And the fix that prevented notification from the private threads didn't work if the user has edit rights.

I'm amazed that this hasn't happened before (though I was the guinea pig who tripped the initial problem with quotes in PTs back in January).

Anyway, DemonEater got a notification and it included the title of the private thread, something like "Newbie 2114 Kanna notes".

He contacted the Newbie listmod, PenguinPower, who decided that it was best for the gamestate to replace him.

borkjerfkin, one of MS's tech admins got right on this and installed a fix within just a couple of hours!

Also I do want to add that I think you were a good town, personally :)

Mafia played in the shadows while town kamikazed
Andante you got close to the solve, with how much you put into this I wish you won, you gave it everything, definitely the driving force of the EL0 endgame, if only you realized this solve,

Elpsis you had all of us fooled, we all thought you to be town, even Kanna in the end

Wow this was a lot of fun but also a bit frustrating at some points towards the end

Congrats Elpis, you did great and were the MVP and best partner one could hope for!

And good to know about Dragon's replacement, I was a bit worried and puzzled about that. I any case, why him getting a notification about Kanna's PT meant that he knew Kanna was innocent?

And thanks to the mods! The topic was also a lot of fun

He didn't
know
Kanna was town because of the PT, but he thought she was much more likely to be.

Mafia players have their team PT they can use for notes as well as for communicating. There are a few players who use notes pts as mafia. As a mod, I get far more requests from town players for notes PTs.

And thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the flavor!

Here's the image that inspired this game's flavor.

I was going to use it if there was a Day 4.

about the glitch: that’s very weird though, considering that wasn’t the first time i’ve quoted posts in my pt (dragon’s posts included)!

i think town’s only chance at winning was if dragon stayed and managed to convince me he was town (we were getting there on this) and of the correct solve so that replace out was especially painful.

thank you for the game, fferyllt and guyinfreezer

To be clear, the issue required one to actually edit a post that contained a quote in it. Since this is a really rare thing to do in a PT, this has been sitting out here for a while waiting for someone to run into it.

issue is fixed now - sorry for the inconvenience folks.

Well fugck
No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.
