Yeah when you were like "don't you think I'd change my playstyle after that disaster" I was like "so, how do I say 'not really' without being a total asshole about it :lol: "

Thanks for being our IC, Accountant! Thanks to borkjerfkin for modding as well, I'll take your advice!
Haha likewise. It was a nice game with cool ppl. The subs really made it hard for us in the end.

Yeah thanks to Accountant for ICing and borkjerfkin for modding.
I really liked you extending the deadlines even as scum i think its only fair to give ppl a chance to catch if the deadline is close.
I think most mods dont do it because scum could see it as disadvantageous to them.

It's definitely something that isn't standardized on site, but I think most mods do it.

It's my view that the deadlines mostly function as "gives people
enough
time to deal with the game with RL obligations, while also not giving so much that people lose interest". I don't feel that they should function as 'tick-tock' game mechanic outside of the things that I previously mentioned.

Not sure if that is a popular opinion or not, but it makes the decision to give extensions an easy one to make.

You might think that this should mean that I believe arbitrary extensions should be allowed, and in niche cases you might be right, but overall I feel like that would be abused.

I've got a 9p normal about to pop in the micro queue if anyone is interested as well -- this was a good playerlist.

For me as town in MYLO/LYLO, let's see...

Newbie 1691
In 5p LYLO I cased and got scum!KAAG lynched, in 3p LYLO I mis-hammered A50 (who basically the entire dead town was calling for that slot's head all game)

Open 635
Subbed in at 8p MYLO, pushed scum!RC, didn't get wagoned, town decided to wagon a different townie, with a hilarious midnight team scum-hammer outcome (RC and Ranger basically had to out in thread to get FA to hammer, while RC was getting nervous Postie might show up to unvote)

Mini 1775 (ended after 635 though started way before)
4p MYLO, correct called the sakura/riabi/titus slot scum, no one really cared to listen, we no lynched, i died, titus won 3p LYLO

Open 644
Scum sweep that I lived to see, I played mediocre but wasn't the guy who derp voted in that spot

Open 642
Scum sweep that I lived to see, I actually played fine but town decided to derp wagon two townies 24 hours into the day phase. I was literally the only player of either alignment not voting a townie that day.

Open 646
Crushed trans in 3p LYLO :D

Open 656
Technically I was alive in 3p LYLO - but the cop got a guilty the night before so scum self hammered before I even posted

Newbie 1756
Subbed in at LYLO, voted scum, pushed scum hard, lost that day anyway

So my LYLO/MYLO record as town in long games is 2-6, and usually I've lost the day where MYLO/LYLO pops up. Fun... :lol:

Yeah when you were like "don't you think I'd change my playstyle after that disaster" I was like "so, how do I say 'not really' without being a total asshole about it :lol: "
That was a bit of a lie. I changed my playstyle since that game, but that game wasn't the catalyst for it, and my playstyle isn't what I said I changed it to.
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.
