Everything was wrong.

The color, the texture, the motion. Everything looked blurry as if in motion, with a tinge of surreal.

The Wonderland was dissolving. There was no one left to let the story go on.

Young Alice, or what was left of her after she expended much of her imagination in her fight, couldn't keep her head above the water any more. As she sank, she looked above for the last time. She reminisced all the wonderful people she have met, all the wonderful places she have been to. The other two Alices she only just met, but she somehow always knew that they existed.

No one would remember them. No one would learn all of the wonderful adventures they have been through. No one would remember any of this.

The story was lost and will be forgotten.

Ending

Forgotten Story . . .

MattP, Prof Fridays, and Konowa, aligned with Mafia, wins the game!

[FakeGod]

My two-cents...

First of all, congratulations to the scum team on their perfect win! I don't even remember Prof Fridays and Konowa ever seriously getting suspected in this game, and MattP's night kill choices were, to say the least, incredibly

on point

.

Moving on to why I wrote this game, I tested my fair share of roles and mechanics over the years, and I finally decided that I was ready to write a game that would show off all of my cumulative experience as a mod. Instead of focusing on a special mechanic or unusual cast of roles to make the game special, I decided to keep it as standard as possible. I also decided to balance the game using "old-school" methods, where there was a sizable number of VTs, weak town PRs, and featuring a small scum team. 14v3 setup was the correct size, but only with the inclusion of a Beloved Princess. The final balance was deemed slightly town-sided. This game was also notable for the large amount of time I spent into formatting. ("Everything looks so pretty!") I wanted people to see that much time and effort was expended to make this game

wonderful

.

What happened in the game was a series of unfortunate events for the town. Name of the game was apparently setup spec and quicklynch. After a quicklynch on 4burner, town entered night 1. Scum PRs claimed their roles in their respective neighborhoods, which was met with immense amount of towncred. Ironically, the Tea Party, the only all-town neighborhood, was splintering apart faster than a straw house in a hurricane. MattP landed a great blind shot on the Beloved Princess, while Prof Fridays succesfully rolecopped the Insane/Sane Cop. Both of the Alices dying right away only added to the crazy flavor speculation that was fast overtaking the town, and set up the stage for the Alice-witch hunt that happens in the later stages of the game. After Night 2, Vi made the now-infamous post 755. Another quicklynch goes down on ns (providing very limited info since everyone who posted during day 3 voted ns), and Vi is killed in night 3. Now, Salamence and hiplop both knew that Vi should have been jailkept during night 2, since Konowa made his night choices public in the Court of Hearts. Nevertheless, reinoe is quicklynched without much resistance. His townflip is met with much seething (and much whining against the setup and me! For shame, people...), and town enters day 5, lacking in hope and overflowing in confusion. People begin to grasp at anything at this point. The last Alice is outed before the third post, and Katsuki has no choice but to rush-vig in the face of the witch-hunt mob. He takes a shot among the lurkers and misses (he only had 1/4 shot of landing scum among MattP, rack, hiplop, and Mala), and with the everlasting towncred on both of the scum PRs, the town defeat becomes

reality

.

One thing I would ask of you, as a mod addressing the players, is to refrain from whining about the setup and yelling at the mod

until the game is over

. When the poisonous setup speculation about the Insane Cop + Framer was afoot, I had to keep my silence, as much as I wanted to defend my setup and pride. It was agonizing, and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through something similar.

Despite what anyone might say, I didn't lose faith in this setup. If I could run the game again, I would run the setup with no changes. I know I would have greatly enjoyed this setup had I played.

Thank you all for playing.

Until next time . . .

Huzzah! I definitely wanted to get town points right off the bat with Nati to carry me. The win is somewhat bittersweet - I feel like we did pretty well as a scum team, but we floated through a couple days from just unfortunate town-play. I typically prefer playing scum/third party, but I kinda wish I was town in this game; I felt like I could have cut through some of the crap, but it's hard to know for sure, being on the knowing side.

[Katsuki]

You self hammered, as town? Wow what the fuck.

Also, what

was

the deal with the different title formatting?

Absolutely nothing.

katsuki, your avi choice is most fitting.

Absolutely nothing.

Well, I can't be too upset; it helped me fluff my theories post in White Rabbit's House.

[Katsuki]

Yeah I hope no one gave FG a hard time over the setup after the D4 lynch.

I really love those end-game images!

[Katsuki]

katsuki, your avi choice is most fitting.

I had too! I would've found this before dayvigging had I not been so rushed.

[notscience]

I like fakegod setups

pity I got quicklynched before I had a shot at trying to crack it

[Prof Fridays]

Also, FakeGod, everything was, indeed, fucking gorgeous, and I take my curse words more seriously than most

I would totally enjoy playing another of your games. It was a lot of fun figuring out the set-up (also why I kind of wish I was town), and I think the neighborhoods and the unique (and fitting) roles played a big part in that. I don't think it's fair to get mad at a mod for their set-up, especially FakeGod in this instance.

I did speculate that it would keep scum team on their toes.

Dark times.

Pity this game was a giant trainwreck for town.

Granted, scum played really well. Mattp was the only obvious scum. Funny how my only solid townread turned out to be scum!

I had a feeling that we wern't going to win this if there were scum amongst Nati/Prof (I considered the possibility of those two being scum neighbours tbh, but if that was the case they deserved to win anyways since we didn't have enough lynches left to sort that neighbourhood out)

[Katsuki]

@Mod QT #113: LOL you don't know my dismay at seeing marquis as the night kill. I was so close to shooting him D4, and had it written until we settled on the reinoe investigation (that never happened)!

[MattP]

God I just really choked up this game. I literally spent like 3 hours staring at my screen today

trying

to find anything to say. Prof pushing me so hard to speak before movement happened in the game really just killed. It was really hard to have my first game back be a scum roll

But good job to Prof and Konowa for playing solid games

[reinoe]

Fakegod, I really liked how you made your game "pretty" and I like the flavor and images you used. That effort is both noticed and appreciated. Thanks.
