Balto the Invitational - Game Over

[Mina]

I'd have loved to use it, Iec, but a provable cop doesn't work in a set-up with an IC and other confirmable roles. And Faraday had an attachment to the Karaoke Dog role that bordered on obsession, so we had to design the

rest

of the set-up around it.

[Iecerint]

Yeah, I understand.

You could've always given that role to scum.

[Iecerint]

Would need a different scumtheme, though.

[Faraday]

._. it's cute. Woofwoof. (The Karaoke Dog)

Pedit: We originally were going to do stuff with the days changing according to which board game was scheduled and had some stuff like that, but too much awkwardness and it was overly complicated for the sake of it. C'est la vie.

[BBmolla]

hey Molla guess who that douchebag scum was that kept you alive because you were literally worth nothing

No shit.

Don't really have any comments, played awful, contributed to the town loss. Bout it.

[BBmolla]

yeah I think the thing that made the least sense to me was teh Zdenekn lynch.....

between Reck's conftown read of it and AP's "LOL UR GONNA REGRET THAT GRIMM TOWN READ" as he was going down that I pointed out.... I just feel like he shouldve never been questioned

Out of places to look

[Maestro]

Interesting. Looking at the dynamic the 2 Days prior to Endgame, in anybody's opinion, would you all have progressed differently had the lynch on Zd's Day been Iece?

You made me laugh more than anyone else in this thread (that's not an insult - claim delivery was HILARIOUS)

[Nuwen]

Confirmable can mean a lot of stuff.

Where is it on a scale of "stuff happens" to "The mod descends and declares my slot an Innocent Child."

Woof, Woof, Woof

Woah. Calm down BBmolla! Stop barking at us. Please. Just calm down and we'll give you what you want. Who's a good dog who's gender we didn't learn? Who's a good dog who's gender we didn't learn! Yes you are. Now, roll over!

BBmolla is MOD CONFIRMED to be the Karaoke Dog and aligned with the

Balto Meet

.

The above is mod confirmed to be true, purple text and all that! Day Continues.

I would have pushed the Zd lynch harder in hopes I've been right all along.

@Nuwen: Thanks

[BBmolla]

Thought setup was fine, the flavor confusion was just an unfortunate unforeseeable mistake.

*shrug*

[BBmolla]

I do apologize to those who truly put their heart and soul in this game for my lazy play.

And to Iec

[Axxle]

People are persuaded by repetition.

Please tell me this was a purposeful triple post.

Ultimately I think Matt deserved the win, congrats! Even if it was a lurk to win, that was our fault in letting him do that.

[Axxle]

Dying day 1 always makes me sad too, but it sounds like it was for the best.

[ChannelDelibird]

Just reading through the post-game but one thing to bring up now:

WEREWOLF LOVER IS NOT A REAL CARD, MODS. JEEZ. I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW YOU'VE RUINED THE VERISIMILITUDE OF THIS GAME

[ChannelDelibird]

Anyway, flavour: Unfortunate but totally understandable. I think MattP did a really good job of playing the "I'm flavour-confirmed town" angle just to the right degree of confidence, so well done, and I don't know whether I would have thought to reconsider if I'd been left alive. Once I saw the dead QT screaming for his blood I realised he had to be Greaterest and kicked myself, but hindsight's a lovely thing.

As someone who probably paid the most attention to what was going on with all the varying Greatness of Ideas, I hadn't really thought about it from Iecerint's perspective but can totally see why it might be difficult to see both Greatest and Greaterest in the same game. The sheer fact that most Idea games tended to have at least one person asking 'So which one's this game? How many do I draw?' before we played probably, in hindsight, should have indicated that there might be some confusion here. It's unfortunate that my flavour spec on Matt ended up contributing to locking him in but I'll take it as a lesson to give flavour slightly less importance.

Most important thing: Thanks very much guys for playing! Though the first couple of days were tough to get into, I ended up really enjoying this game and the opportunity to reminisce. Thanks to the mods for the effort that went into it!

I could've sworn we'd chosen all our ideas from the big roles list, but you're right. Maybe I'm just developing early-onset Alzheimer's.

[ChannelDelibird]

Yeah, that's probably the only conclusion. Sorry to break it to you like that.

[Mina]

Oh, well! It's not like I was using my brain for anything, anyway.

[xRECKONERx]

so just to be clear CES could've chosen between killing triforce and fate and chose fate

[Iecerint]

I do apologize to those who truly put their heart and soul in this game for my lazy play.

And to Iec

Meh, I wanted to lynch town on the last day, too. ^^

[ActionDan]

well Triforce and Fate were both town.

Btw I'd like to mention that Trollie existed in this game. Let us not forget
