In post 1919, unwnd wrote:Also good shot Hectic at the end of course

What a fun game honestly, even if I spent some time complaining to Cabd when we were being scumread for walls
fwiw

It was never about the walls for me. What pinged me initially was the callousness of the first post, and for my part, I couldn't understand why Cabd was using outdated meta and not acknowledging it.

The other thing was the neighborizer role; it was apparent from auction one that this game was going to have a primary underground component, so most of the action was not going to take place in the thread it was going to take place in the hoods (I had assumed there would be multiples) and I could not understand how town!Cabd could ever not want to get in on that type of action, considering this type of organization is something that he is good at.

And I couldn't get around that. W/o a reach out from you guys I remained stuck there.

Oh and a question...is it true that one of you is a therapist? Cos when Cabd said that it sort of blew me away. My peer review group does that Red Cross Psychological first aid thing every 3 months for the past year, and I really did not take that into consideration when I joined this game, lol. I mean I spent a good day just going through isos looking for signs of emotional stress, to see if there was some way to provide non-game related support until I realized I was taking the game a bit too seriously, lol.

I wish you guys could have seen how hard Lexi was leaning on Alisae in the hood. I finally asked him to just not talk to her towards the end, because she really is a master manipulator.

I had fun. :)

i was going to try and do stuff but i completely lost any motivation after one of the team suicide bombed, one of the team was clearly getting voted out, and another one of the team shot another other one of the team. really didn't feel worth the effort at that point

Let's be perfectly clear.

I shot, with permission of the person being shot, the same person who was "clearly being voted out". Your description is pretty disingenuous. It should look more like:

One member of our team suicide bombed themselves.
One member of our team was dead to rights, and sacrificed themselves to give a third a good position in the game.
One member of our team was in a good position and got hero shot by Unwnd, which honestly saved the game.
And one member of our team thought "well fuck it if i don't think i can win why try" and gave up

Your motivation and scummy play is your own problem, because despite all everything, including you playing like a corpse most of the game, I still made it to final 4 in a nightless game and had the game deadlocked in vote, requiring a vig to shoot me for the town win.

You have to imagine what might have happened with just a little more effort or time. Maybe if a scum partner with more money than me didn't give up for no bloody reason, they could have bought a vig or a suicide bomb and killed someone like Misty or Elon who was very townie and I would have had a ride to the win.

You understand, right, if one of Elon or Misty was dead, this was a scum win via DGB and I agreeing each other were town. Right?

1 vig. 1 won bid. A little bit of money. 1 elimination earlier. That was the margin for error here.

So don't give me this sob story about how you lost motivation after your WHOLE TEAM WAS JUST SO BAD.

It's not true and I've shown it here.

LLD i was very close to bombing u too.

i ironically decided to try be more protown and get rid of someone the playerlist didn't trust which was a waste and then i get called a gamethrower anyways, thanks for that cabd.

i think u overstate how close u were to winning. but arguing this is pointless.

I mean you make a different choice the game is differrnt obviously

But you bombed Titus. Maybe if Elon is dead you bomb me instead. Who knows. I think I was very close to winning this game as it stood and i think a little more om the scale would have been a scum win

But I recognize you had a scun read on me so

Yeah I told Cabd this in discord when the game ended

That shot saved town the game because I was only planning on sacrificing tweetie and mistyx and keeping auto as the snake in the grass

But God what a shot from unwnd

Funny story actually I read the flavor and thought Titus had bombed YOU and that was my accusation of throwing.


You were so objectively town that killing you was throwing in my eyes.

There were many, many, many iterations of mechanics like that that got considered and didn't end up being used. Basically, the original version of the setup was a truly bloated monstrosity full of really cool ideas and we eventually ended up cutting it down to just the core mechanics to keep it workable.

Pooky had some ideas that I'd love to see made into sequels though.
