Really Good Plays that amazed you

[Untrod Tripod]

On a side note, people focus a lot on big, flashy plays (both in terms of threads like this, and in terms of winning scummies) but usually you only have to make a play like that when something has already gone really, really wrong.

The best town play, where several townies figure out who the scum are together and calmly work together to lynch them, and the best scum play, where the town is just chasing it's tails for day after day and never even comes close to finding any scum, never get noticed in threads like this, because it's subtle and quiet, it just wins games. So don't necessarily take things you see in this thread and use them as an example of the "right" way to play.

shh don't tell people my secrets

I agree with this, especially pertaining to scumsweeps, but usually those games end up in town blaming each other for bad play as oppose to recognizing that even in post-game, the scum had them so successfully manipulated that they still could not see HOW the scum managed to exploit their faults to turn the town on one another. The lack of recognition is quite unfortunate really, but it is a trophy in itself as to how successful your play as a team truly was.

I actually prefer it this way, that way no one suspects you of excess deviousness >_>
