It was also luck the only people who received any votes from town were all scum.

You didn't "peg" 3/4 of scum. You named them amongst other players as possible scum, and then happened to lynch one of them, which killed another one. That's somewhat luck; it's somewhat skill too, I'm not saying it isn't. But the game likely wouldn't happen the same way a second time.

There were no other players who were named as possible scum D1. Hence, town did their part in catching 3 scum. (Just so happened 2 lovers were lynched, leaving the lone scum suspect to be shot).

The only random aspect in this game imo was the bandwagonning, which occurs in many games. The subsequent reaction analysis, along with play analysis was not random. I think the main thing that makes this game look less spectacular in terms of scumhunting is all the caps, but looking past that, I saw very strong town play in terms of catching onto scum-motivated comments, which lead to the eventual lynch, and outting of other scum. Then the vig and cop acted accordingly, and was especially nice cop-ping by reck. The combination of town day game + town PR play was rather exceptional.


I do not wish to argue whether this game was more due to luck or skill, considering that I was town and undoubtly look at this game with some degree of bias. The town did however show that they were not just headless chickens running around randomly (including the town PRs).

Nominate Snow_Bunny's SITMOA mafia for most enjoyable game

SECONDED

While there were some flaws in the setup, this game was a LOT of fun. Like, definitely more fun than any of the other games I've played recently.
