I'm still confused why the musician acted in the first round though.

So there's an actor loophole. If you choose to be thief you get the thief's ability to become the poisoner so if he's dead, insta-poisoner . Also actor is op when you switch role claims with someone else.

Actor not being able to be guessed AT ALL is also OP :P

I'm pretty sure a lot of the roles could be considered OP, which makes them not actually that highly powered. There's just some that are underpowered.

I interogated CC about a lot of rules like this. It's not an accident we tried to kill the Thief first. Eagle was also Thief-searching, killing The Wizard was almost accidental. Sorry Tel! Ironically changing roles at all is what ended us both :p Being immune to guessing was a much better ability with how all the roles were in the open.

I get the feeling this game was played a lot differently from the first and that's entirely because of ika. In the first round ika set up a role trade with a lot of people. He had a list of who to kill in order and the game proceeded almost exactly according to that plan. By killing people whose roles he didn't know he had it locked down at the end who had to be alive. Thinking that no one would let us both get far anyways, xof and I traded roles on Day 1 and told ika and Eagle we were each other while they told us their real roles. It sounds like Fenrir and Cybele also pulled some role-lying shenanigans because we were told the Soldier was dead. Still, at least three people knew Eagle's role from Day 1 and everyone at Final 7 ended up knowing so winning despite that is, well I thought it was unlikely!

I think it's funny ika thought he wasn't playing to win. The way he had most of the alive players under blackmail I felt he had the best chance of winning overall. Total Shanghaing control of everything, it was scary to be on the other side of my own tactics. <_< I knew he didn't want me or Eagle to win so I don't regret taking a shot at him, just with warning Cybele what was going on. I didn't expect the Peasant to still be alive and to actually tell ika he was in trouble. But once he knew and knowing how ika felt about Jelly, who the Peasant was, wasn't hard to figure out. :p This is what I get for trusting boys! Except for Eagle who was the cutest ally.

CC also got to hear my rants about how Student is the worst role. The only thing it does is done better by three other roles. My chance to dance off with Eagle and win was stolen :( I wanted to tell him the Student had surpassed the teacher! Before the game started I said telling anyone your role was the worst idea. Now that I've played I feel completely opposite. You have to find someone to share information. The Professor having a guarenteed person to win challenges against for a third guess for example. But I'd love to see the Blackmailer and Barbarian team up. So yeah I enjoyed this game a lot!

Man I was hoping that eagle didn't know my role but it was probably pretty unlikely. I was pretty much down to try to take him out next round in guessing and hope he didn't or hope his stake of life guess this round was wrong, or saying 'nochallenge' and having all three of us stake of life each other out of the game :P but I didn't really know what would happen for sure if I did that. When I got poisoned this past round I figured I probably had no shot if xof told Eagle though.

Also I almost stake of life guessed xof as thief because I wasn't paying attention, then I was like "nah, I'll trust Eagle."

When ika kept asking me for my role, I was like "hells to the never" I almost didn't even tell my role to my closest ally though.

I had the most fun plotting how to send the poison back with Cybele :)

It was nice to play with you Eagle and you deserved the win, congrats :)

Not only did Eagle know, so did Jelly. :p By the way, you're the worst sketchy quasi-ally ever. :(
I asked what would happen if all the roles were revealed at once, the game would have continued. Since it was possible I'd get to play WIFOM with xofelf.

So, I was thinking in my corner about general strategies for a few roles, seeing this game as a mafia-like game where everyone is a scum faction on their own.
Turns out it really was a social game, and the only private interaction I ever had was with a small 4-player alliance where everyone died in two rounds. ika also tried to get my role, but I didn't answer at all.
And to anybody thinking it was actually a good idea to share your role, here's my number one guideline in any game where private communication is allowed: there can be loopholes in any truce. Any shared info that may get you killed will get you killed, especially since there's only one winner. My mental reaction to ika's PM was just a plain "What."

I stand by the opinion that sharing your actual role with more than one person is a terrible idea, and it only worked well for Eagle because ika ruined everyone else's games singlehandedly. :P (sorry ika <3)
