Mini 1762: Game Over

[MagnaofIllusion]

Frankly this game has gone on long enough. If I choose incorrectly then meh, I take responsibility for that.

Both Rask and Synd look like possible partners for the reasons I outlined earlier. At the end of the day I have to choose between Synd and Robster’s very weak interactions (which look like buddies not quite sure how much to bus each other) versus Rask and Robster’s interactions (which look like Robster is more bus happy and Rask on the other hand is happy to buddy up to Robster at points).

Deciding factor is activity. Synd’s pure apathy at trying to actually demonstrate that he actually believes Rask is scum. Rask also has been wiling to antagonize me today which probably doesn’t come from scum who wants my tie-breaking vote in LYLO.

VOTE: Synd

Rask if you are scum congrats. You reversed your Day 1-3 skating with activity the last two days enough that you deserve the win if that is the case.

[Raskolnikov]

Bwahahaha! I have fooled you all!

[Raskolnikov]

I'm kidding please lynch implosion tomorrow if I get NK'd.

[Raskolnikov]

The difference between implosion/titus is way less than the difference between syn and you (syn vs you is a laughable comparison) though, so idk if it's necessarily open and shut?

[Raskolnikov]

But I really liked titus's slot defending me especially yesterday, and I feel like she could've easily won today if scum by encouraging imp to just vote me as he was clearly willing to.
Looking back I townread the ink slot way more than imp independently, and even GiF was way better than imp in posts despite their activity levels being about the same.
GiF at least was pro-town af with the massclaim suggestion and actually showed concern for where that lynch was going at the end of the day.

[Raskolnikov]

I find it very amusing that nino and kirroha both wanted to lynch me and we'd have lost if they didn't replace out too.

[Raskolnikov]

Rask also has been wiling to antagonize me today which probably doesn’t come from scum who wants my tie-breaking vote in LYLO.

Having already given all the reasoning I could have, I figured the only thing left to do was try some AtE strats, if you'll believe that. I don't actually dislike you as a person, though every day dragging on like this and the gamestate being so dead was genuinely annoying. This game started in february and I've /in'd so many games while I was waiting for this to move, and they were great fun games but I was killed n1 in most of them and just went back to this to see nothing happened in the meanwhile. Several of the people in this game have since stopped playing onsite entirely and I suspect this experience as the cause for at least some of them. A huge thank-you to everyone who replaced in and helped salvage this, again in case I am nk'd.

Of course if it's some weird scenario and syn was actually town and we lost I'm making a big fool of myself for speaking like this, but whatever.

[Titus]

Totally didn't expect hammer there.

Before lock (in case it locks while at work), I am leaning Imp as last scum as well. He was my biggest scumread due to wagon action.

Bbl

Of course if it's some weird scenario and syn was actually town and we lost I'm making a big fool of myself for speaking like this, but whatever.

The only ways Synd could be Town are -

1. You trolling in Twilight as scum.
2. Scum had two investigation immune roles in this game.
3. Radiant was a jerk and lied about his investigations results.

I dismiss 2 out of hand. While I don't like Radiant from a personality standpoint I hope he wouldn't do 3 knowing his death was approaching.

So that just leaves 1. Feel free to come clean ... hammer is already in.

[Raskolnikov]

No, I'm town. If it was 3p lylo and the game was over I would've pretended to have been scum to troll until the flip, but at this point it was too risky since the game actually needed discussion on syn partners especially in case I died.

[Raskolnikov]

But yeah, it's a bit concerning the game was on a knife's edge especially yesterday and we almost lost despite scum not having played well.
I'm convinced that if either of the following happened
a) not every one of those players had flaked and got replaced
b) I got lynched instead of kirroha's slot yesterday, which probably would've happened if gif didn't defend me
we'd have just lost the game today.

[MagnaofIllusion]

Well if Synd is indeed scum then I don't think too much discussion about relational tells is wise in Twilight. Scum have to decide who to kill and that decision in and of itself can provide the remaining Town with possible information.

Congratulations to Raskolnikov on an extremely well played game.

gg.

[MagnaofIllusion]

Thanks very much for Metrion for taking over as Mod and making sure this game didn't get abandoned.

With the game ending so aburptly after Synd's lynch I'm going to take a few minutes to gather my thoughts.

[RadiantCowbells]

I'm surprised this got past normal review.

This setup is pretty scum sided.

[beeboy]

I like how I won since I was never replaced out even though I never posted

[beeboy]

I really messed up town this game I think

[Raskolnikov]

I should not have joined this game.

Don't feel bad, you would have won if not for kirro, nino, and rubixxx all replacing out and said replacements being mostly reasonable people; all of these conditions had to be met. An unlikely thing to happen, in retrospect.
Your bussing also convinced most town initially, which is why I could not get you lynched you day 4.

[Titus]

Tbh I am one of the few that would look to see the glaring vote pattern D1. It was like a neon sign in Titus hunting. My big concern was "too easy"

[Titus]

That being said most played well.
