Honestly this game was pretty damn fun overall.

I kind of acted like a dick on day i was lynched, but beyond that it was fun.

Only thing I didn't like was just following plan. It started become A) Plan night B) Accuse anyone not following plan as scum
i wish we did more scum hunting beyond those and had that as still in existence but less emphasis

I dislike large games that have one death a night.
One death a night in 20+ players is torture.
Especially with 2 week deadlines.

I admit the night planning created a serious problem in that it made defiance look scummy and obviously was backed by several scumbags.

But it did achieve one of my primary intended objectives which was to force the scum to nightkill within a specific pool of players.

There were two chief flaws to the whole thing:

1. Scum picked roles that would be key to town success specifically to deny them to the town. This meant several players were held "above suspicion" for a long time simply because of the strength of their role and that there weren't enough sincere townies with powerful roles to make any meaningful results.

2. I failed to realize the roles that were truly most powerful and critical to town success (Lockdowner, Tracker) until it was far too late. The scum prioritized killing those roles early, and I suspect deliberately.

You'll read a lot about our draft choices in the THING PT but yeah, this was the driving factor behind our choices.

If Wraith keeps up the confirming people list we will have problems. Killing the Lockdowner will help assuage those fears.

Careful who you block, Magna. I might block you one night since your action resolves before mine and we need some confirmage help.

It's funny that y'all were talking about McMenno's death by Vig like it was a done deal. I was
this
close to letting my doubts take over and sparing him just to see how it played out. But in the end I decided it was too risky and would turn people against me.

And during that crisis of faith I was also considering lying and claiming my shot was somehow blocked and then surprising a scumread with it later in the game, but deemed that
way
too risky a gambit.

Just reading that thread and I see that MoI is like a clone of me, only a better version.

Since I'm a huge sucker for people following similar lines of thought this is gonna have to be how I treat MoI if we're together in future games

Only just now am I starting to think abandoning the Nightkill PoE lists post-Andrius flip was a mistake. It might have been able to clear some people in the lategame, I don't know.

Your refusal to vote me made my day, in case that wasn't obvious.
So that's CRUSHING DREAMS but MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE maybe.
