Congratulations to the scumteam. I was particularly impressed with redtea's play Day 1, Puppy's tonal play throughout, and the worst's play upon replacein. I especially am impressed with Puppy's play, and willingness to press on, given his role as the Chara and the woeful state of the partner slot. Without commenting on the trust tell, I don't want to take away from Krazy-I just didn't read his play much given my redtea read, and I assume it was equally as strong. I was thoroughly beaten. Congratulations.

This was a classic Prism towngame. Any further description is redundant. I want to extend my apologies to all of the town alive on Day 2, and express how grateful I am to have been here with all of you-Hectic, Chara, Tweet, Pooky, Lav, Tanner, and Taylor. (catboi gets nothing) Thank you all for the effort and love you put into this game. You turned a game that I looked at with only apathetic misery into something incredibly fun to be a part of-and tolerated me despite the implications this had for the game.

I also want to thank Noraa for replacing in and doing my slot justice, even if it wasn't the result any of us wanted.

I don't think I have any other comments of substance.

Also, the theory that I replaced out because of Nacho was false.

I don't want to go further into why I replaced out, but in a normal world I would have been very happy to have gotten the chance to play with him.

While I regret the result, I also want to say that I regret nothing about how I played this game. The fact that this would have ended in a town win if I simply hadn't cared is secondary. I don't regret the hours spent reading, the late nights thinking, or the long discussions had. I don't regret the days and weeks of obsession, and of believing in myself, believing in others, and challenging both myself and the other players to rise to the occasion, even if I did it all only to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

There are mistakes, not everything went how I and we wanted, and my obsession was naturally a double-edged sword that crowded others out. Adjustments are always to be made.

But I don't regret how much I love and effort I invested in this game, nor do I regret throwing all of that away without a second thought.

I forgot to thank the most important person-Isis. Thank you for running this, for getting me to play, for listening to my private rambling, and for dealing with how high-maintenance I could be. You were a great moderator, but you're an even greater friend. Thank you.

A town Prism made 800+ posts, and not a scum one.

Making this argument persuasive is the tougher part, and it was very sad to not see Nacho given the chance to explain it. My intuition, that might be wrong, is that he correctly drew the parallel to Dystopia! and/or Emperor. He is also probably the most familiar onsite with my scumgame, and knows that while I hardcarry every game I flip scum in, I despise the alignment and find it very boring to play.

don't worry, the point made itself. i realised very quickly your slot wasn't on the table - the only reason i tried it was because it didn't feel like there was any reason i should actually know your slot was off the table, lol.
you were super obvtown.

As a side note, 1264 is the moment I realized it wasn't rolling scum that I hated: It was not putting 110% into games. It was more apparent as scum due to my bad habit of playing to the level of the table.

The minute I hit the switch, this game became significantly more enjoyable.

Sure thing, Prism.

i do feel responsible for the replacement hit that plagued the second half of this game so fiercely, so all i can do is apologize and thank everyone who replaced in and allowed the game to run to its conclusion. i completely agree with Isis's thought that a higher-quality game is played when every slot has been present from the beginning, and i regret that there was a need to leave.

Krazy played really well. i can't speak for what happened before i left, but i said as much in the game. the only problem i had with Krazy was a lack of confident towntelling. unfortunately, that was the key that was needed. no idea if i would have realized that or not, but it doesn't matter now and i'll learn from it when i feel ready to play again.
Tweet, you did a great job towntelling while i was here, and i am very happy you didn't flip scum because it would have killed my confidence.
Hectic, i can't promise i won't flail and flipflop around you for eternity. it could also be a one-time thing, time will tell. it was nice to fool around with you again, in any case.
there's more to say but i'll pick this up later.

Pooky I am so glad you've made a return to the site - my only regret this game was that our time together was short but I enjoyed every post that you made.
