Goodfellas
2023/03/24	Datisi	Gimli	Hollow Knight Mafia	where to start with this one. first, look at the list of dead players: Spoiler: after one mafia member fell day 1, disaster struck on night 1 and night 2. town's tracker ended up getting a guilty two nights in a row. the guiltied scum were in a relatively good position, one of them was being cleared on the basis of being a neighbour with a flipped scum, and they were also an activated ascetic that ended up not activating on the night he got guiltied. another issue was that by the time shea was guiltied, gimli had already locked himself into his claim - nailsmith, a role that can forge a vig shot on one night, then vend that vig shot to another player. gimli was not able to multitask. so - asri, misty, and black's deaths? those were vig shots . gimli was forced into no-killing multiple nights in a row just to keep his claim alive and not be outed as scum. it took over a month from shea's execution for the game to end. and he did it. the madman did it. going from being heavily suspected in the early days, to pocketing just about everyone alive. even at endgame, when mechanics were heavily pointing towards him, his towniness made town come up with incredible mechanical reasons for why someone else is scum, from traitor jailkeepers to multitasking public messengers to odd-night killing traitors and whatever else was there. morning tweet was voted out while there was a hard inno result claimed on her.

Moment of Brilliance
2023/03/24	Datisi	Aristeia	Hollow Knight Mafia	yes, i know this game ended in a loss for town, but i think ari's contribution to this game has made it a grueling marathon for the last scum, as opposed to an utter scum sweep. ari helped vote out scum on day 1. ari was a lazy tracker this game. when i was making the setup, i thought of the role as fairly weak. after all, it's a large game, hitting the exact scum that's performing the kill is difficult. and besides, scum has a non-consecutive activated ascetic. no way the tracker ever gets anything useful here, right? right... on night 1, the ascetic scum was performing the kill. except they didn't use the ascetic. they were neighbours with the flipped scum, surely people would townread them for that, right? well, people did townread them. except for ari, who tracked them to the failed nightkill on night 1. and then she casually tracked another scum to the nightkill on night 2. scum that was in a relatively good position, that she had a pet scumread on since day 1.
