Finally, while I elected to go ahead and do it here since others were postign as well, please be advised that proper form would be to await the mod confirming game end since other games can have odd mechanics like resurrections and the like.

In post 574, teacher wrote:OMG Chibiie, youre my hero!

I realized right as the flip was happening that you mechanically HAD to kill Yoda, so told Plot I lost. But then you went and saved it. Such an awesome teammate.

Ive been away all day, and have to get ready for school tomorrow. I will give individualized feedback in a couple days.

Overall, PRs hid well (this was the first game where I totally struck out), and Aaron your play REALLY improved. But everyone needs to be more active for the game to be fun and for town to have a shot. I mean our 2 person scumthread is about 1/5th the size of this 9p game. It should be like a 10th based on the number of possible viewpoints and relationships discussed.
Thanks too bad I couldn't win this time though. I agree that lack of activity during Day 2 especially hindered town's chances of winning. I'm the only one with over 100 posts lmao.

Mod notes:
It is customary for dead players to wait for the mod to post the final scene before resuming posting in the game thread. In the newbie queue, the setup is known, so the only chance for mishap is if you miscounted the votes, but in other queues there can be setup shenanigans that mean it might look like it's over when it's not.[/area]

Day 4 Lynch - AaronFrost



AaronFrost
has been lynched day 4. He was a
vanilla townie.


The mafia team of
Chibiie, mafia goon
and
teacher, mafia rolecop
have won the game! Good work everyone. I think the mafia team played very well, having teacher rolecop Chibiie was a gamble because Gimm1ck could have targetted somebody else but it was a good move. The town PRs did a good job of staying hidden / the vanilla townies did a good job of pretending to be PRs. I agree with the comments that a bit more activity would have helped. A good rule of thumb is to try to have more posts than the mod does, since ideally I'm only posting once per page to give a votecount, more if I need to prod people. On the other hand, if you are the top poster, consider whether the other players are having conversations with each other or keep getting sucked into conversations with you and then tone it down -- this wasn't a problem this game but I like to mention both extremes together.

If you enjoyed this game, I hope you'll sign up for another. if you haven't completed five newbie games yet, you're still eligible to sign up as a newbie, otherwise people tend to start with normal or open games when they're ready to branch out, but themes can be fun too.

I'mma be honest, I have a better win ratio as scum than Townie in all SD games I played and if you ever played Secret Hitler, I probably have the highest win ratio as Hitler with ~7/10 games won by being nominated chancellor in Heil Zone :)

That's probably my favorite SD game, especially IRL and the one that forged my playstyle the most.
There's also Bank Heist, such a good game to play with friends IRL.

I’m much better in real time chat-based games, forums were fun to try though. Thanks folks, was fun, and I’ll most likely be back sometime.

This game went largely to plan, which was aided by somewhat apathetic town. The posting has been belabored, so I wont hit it again beyond that.

Aaron, your game has improved significantly. I intended to save you for lylo because you were lynchbait last time, but you really towned it up and were fmpov obv-town.

Gimm1ck, your entry and play were similarly excellent. My one suggestion for you would be the N1 target -- George was indeed a likely lynch candidate, to the point that I think investigatives (even weak ones) are better in the null-ish pool that is likely to make D3. Try not to target the person likely to die D2, because your result has more meaning the longer you can sit on it. A no-movement result is not a clear, to the point you could validly argue against that lynch D2, and had that been the lynch D2, the check is wasted.

Yoda - well played from a PR perspective; I cant disagree with your targets though I personally would have saved Aaron over me (being the busdriver on a townflip isnt AI, especially D1, but should at least raise some suspicion after flip). I especially congratulate you for saving Conf-town N3 rather than playing the WIFOM game of letting scum think thats what you were likely to do and guessing elsewhere. You might regret that choice, but having known!town is more valuable than playing the odds. In dayplay, Id feel more comfortable taking part in the discussions despite your role -- I got the sense you were holding back a little to intentionally stay null, which - though a good goal - can be achieved while also forcing other slots to respond/react/share more content.

Salad - man, you remain lynchbait, but still a great player to share a room with. As you see others reason, I would think maybe you could see a little more of the process and start trying it. Here, it honestly felt like you were having fun but not trying to solve. Maybe that feelings off, but I think you have gotten yourself to the point that you doubt your abilities so you dont exercise them - doing the latter will help wiht the former.

George/Dong - to short for real comments. Dong has my right for wrong reasons award; George I think would have developed into a later game threat for us so Im still happy with the NK even if you were a VT.

Spartan - a good town leader; I think RL got in your way D2. I hope it worked out, and I think just get a better sense for how much of a timesuck MS can be.

Plot - the best mod, still.

Funny how I get lynched in the game I'm playing well in yet I don't get lynched in the game where I was lynchbait.
