Feel free to hammer away. I don't expect to come up with anything meaningful to say between now and whenever the intent to hammer was for. Scum feels like it's in Child and FF but it's entirely possible I'm missing on that. Certainty hasn't been the greatest game from me and I'm sorry about that.
"FF, you're a dick, but you don't hit below the belt. So you're a dick about finding scum, not hurting the people who are playing the game. That's acceptable dickary." MaryJoLisa
Yeah it's hard to come back from that
like who does he push as a counter wagon at that point?
We'd just jumped off Child who survived the L-1
I think his only choice would have been to push FF
Never felt sorry for scum before, but Micc really got hosed this game. Still a win is a win.
Thanks for modding Plot - enjoyed the fractal theory stuff.

Yeah that sucks.
It happens.
I was once partners with someone who on day1 (when not being forced to claim) claimed a role that the rules said was not revealed to you if it was your role (Chosen Townie).
Yeah this didn’t go well. Not bussing early enough has been a weakness of mine in the past. Here I think my timing was good enough but getting to it from my earlier stances was never going to be natural. Hitting the cop with the nightkill was encouraging but there was still a lot of work to do. Perhaps I could have obv-town’d a little and driven some mislynches with a constant presence, but definitely not while out on vacation. Alonzo being the tracker clear was the nail in the coffin.
Town play this game was strong overall. My hope is to break that down into a review of sorts for each of you, but please know that I’m lazy and historically only bat around .500 on making that happen. If there’s particular things you’d like me to comment on or questions you have let me know and I’ll make sure to address them.
Thanks to Plotinus for a great job moderating. I’m ok for the mafia PT to be released.

Why is it there are sometimes timeframes and sometimes people just cut in line? Seems counterproductive.
This game wasn’t a good example of how the process usually goes down. In general you can expect the person to claim when they go to L-1 or when someone declares that they intend to hammer. From there people either jump off or the hammer happens. When a timeframe is given that’s usually just an indication of how long the L-1 player is being given to respond before they are hammered regardless of their lack of claim. Note that hammering without a claim is extremely dangerous as hitting a town PR is nearly impossible to come back from. Many players will pursue policy lynches against players who unexpectedly hammer without a claim.
The process tends to fall apart in the game’s later stages. For example no one felt the need to wait for me to claim since all the PR slots were accounted for.
@Micc - did you know I was cop or educated guess? I tried to represent town enough to not get lynched but not so town to get NKd. I did crumb but if you picked up on it you were the only one apparently.
