Open 175 - Picking Simplicity (Game Over)

[semioldguy]

List of Night Actions:

Iguana:
Night One - Investigated Grimmy (town)
Night Two - Investigated Toro/Sotty7 (mafia)
Night Three - Investigated Heilograph (Iguana was killed)

Scott Brosius:
Night One - Protected Iguana

Mafia and Serial Killer actions are obvious. Mafia kills were flavored as shots.

A Few Thoughts:
The large number of replacement in the first couple game days were a big hit to the town in my opinion. It made reading player slots harder which wasn't helped by the style of some of the players in the game. The town started playing better when there weren't new players replacing in regularly (also due in part because there were less total town players to suspect).

The early loss of the power roles, and late offing of the Serial Killer also hurt the town. Had iguana lived another night a second scum investigation would have greatly helped the town.

I thought it was interesting that on night three Col.Cathart was originally contemplating killing SpyreX, but after the way day three ended he changed his mind and killed StrangerCoug instead. The change would have drastically affected the outcome of the game.

[Grimmy]

I think the confusion with me thinking Nik was the Sk was the idea of two kids high on sugar with boxes over their heads pretending to be tanks screaming IMAGINATION ROCKS!

I did NOT see the real SK for anything.

Well I forgot iggy alt password so meh

Anyways...

WHAT THE HELL WAS UP WITH NOT LYNCHING SPY AFTER SOTTY??? It was horribly obvious to me after his attempt to skew obvious crumbs to a yabba lynch. At the same time it became obvious to me that yabba was town so I might of gone along with a KoC lynch just for pushing yabba... but just wow town really?

I actually want SOG to put up my last message because I think I called a Spy/Nik/Helio scumteam when I died but im not sure. I know Spy was in there and Helio was a alternate (which is why I was going for him that night).

Pissed I moved away from a 12kb wagon, that was just a random one to start the game off quick.

@amish - I was actually trying to no lynch when I moved the wagon to you, and almost tried to pull it off again when sotty voted you. I though doing something stupid to stop a lynch would no doubt give me another night, and with a guilty heavily crumbed I would be in a ok position even if I got killed.

At least just about all of my town reads were dead on in this game. Even the move off Scoug

Just kind of mad. It was obvious so obvious yabba was town, and the chance of spy being town was so close to zero there.

Snipped PM from night three:

So scumteam is

Sotty, SpyreX, Yabba and ?? [Kre/Helio]

[LlamaFluff]

Ah, yes

Well the other three were in my top 4 so im happy

[SerialClergyman]

I spent the whole game fighting my scum read on Spyrex because I like playing with him.

<---- played.

Still, it was a very fun game and the scum played well. I had some bad reads and some good ones. Well played kids.

Why play a female alt, Llama? Just to call me your "hun" at some point in the game? *creeped out*

(jk)

Col likely made a swap from a town (not) player to a scum (not) player because he realized that the Town was in the losing scenario. SK's optimal strategy- kill the people who are winning right now. That's Town's fault.

I haven't the slightest idea how Llama decided to think Helio (Honcho at the time) was scum. I'm impressed- but too bad you got done in before then.

Good to know we were spot-on with catching the investigations.

@Grimmy- you pretty much want the kids to shut up one way or another anyway.

The thing is- you really gotta participate a tad more- you did play with a good deal of apathy that the SK can do. Col didn't play the apathy card as aggressively, and that's why had it not been for him Mafia-telling oddly enough, that would've done you in.

I'll shut up now about the game- save for the YGDB entry I'm putting in. Not sure how the hell I'll recap this game in one paragraph.

Just wanted to mess around a bit. Then it got tedious to log into an alt for just one game so started lurking. I was almost ready to replace myself.

SClerg was obviously town, Grimmy I knew was town, I had KoC as non-mafia at that point, skitzer I was heavily leaning town. Didnt leave a whole lot of people and he fit really well. I knew it would be next to impossible to prove though so I investigated him

[Sotty7]

At least I did my part in helping kill off the cop That makes my lynch a little less painful at least.

Well played Spy and Heilo.

[LlamaFluff]

At least I did my part in helping kill off the cop :D That makes my lynch a little less painful at least.

Well played Spy and Heilo.

I did feel sorry watching you replace into a doomed spot. If the doc was alive I would of claimed as soon as I saw Toro getting replaced I think

Same here.

All replacements were determined randomly though.

Also had an "aww, that sucks" moment when I needed to replace Toro right after I knew he was the investigation target.

Amished - (8) SpyreX, Grimmy, Iguana, StrangerCoug, Knight of Cydonia, Sotty7, Nikanor, Kreriov (Col. also placed a vote after the hammer).

SpyreX, Sotty, Kreriov and Col. 4 out of the 5 scum were (basically) on me; that makes me feel a bit better.

I still don't understand why the hell I was quickhammered like that; that should've sent alarm bells to everyone that was town at the time. I'm especially disappointed in Iguana for doing something like that as the cop.

Mod: List of night actions?

I think it was that when I was replaced, Hohum never posted, so by the time you replaced him the player slot didn't look good.

[Nikanor]

Agggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I should have stuck with my initial town read on Blastinus! Confound it all!
Oh well. My town reads on yabba, Blastinus and Flava were right, and my scum reads on Sotty, Krer and Col were right, so not a bad game overall. I think I learned a lot about saying Wheeee in this game.

[Col.Cathart]

I thought it was interesting that on night three Col.Cathart was originally contemplating killing SpyreX, but after the way day three ended he changed his mind and killed StrangerCoug instead. The change would have drastically affected the outcome of the game.

*sigh*

To add insult to the injury, I was planning to gun down Spyrex during the next night, if I would be still playing that game and manage to avoid lynch.

Sorry Nul for leaving you a doomed spot.

Also, thanks a lot town - I was helping you by taking down Kre, and his flip was the main reason you lynched me/Nul. God damn...

[MichelSableheart]

I haven't got much to comment on, I'm affraid. My original read was way of, and I spent far more energy on the SK debate with Spyrex then I should have.

May I ask what your reasoning was for killing me on night 2, Col. Cathart? Spyrex seemed to believe I was SK, and that was the only SK discussion going on. I would have expected that you would keep me alive as a lightning rod.

Dramonic was pretty much random shot, but I smiled when someone started creating link between Dramonic's death and Iguana as an SK by you. So I decided to shoot you as well, and see if we can get somewhere in that direction ;]
