A lot of people don't like my cop choice. I say it was good, as he was a lynch target that day and no one really cared to defend him.
The Day 3 massclaim was a shitty decision.

^This.

And I would've cop'd boring or at least PP, one of them had to be scum but after receiving an inno on implosion I would've lynched Prism as one of them had to be scum as well

To be fair, I defended you D1. Nobody paid attention to me though.

I saved that because I was scared of people who town read me because they may be doing so to pocket me - see Prism.

I'm really disappointed in my play this game. I don't really know what else to say. I'm sorry to boring and LUV.

My plan was never to pocket you, nn.

You and BV both did a spectacular job this final day and earned the win through and through so congratulations, I'm in a bit of a state of shock still from outside things that drew me away yet again, but you really earned your keep and I'm glad you did it.

If you want to read my notes on the final day, I gave them completely on page 10 of the scum QT.

My frustration with Shadow was also 100% legitimate.

I appreciate this but I don't feel good at all. I played the LyLo horribly. nn/BV took every inch I gave them and ran with it but when I look at this last day I feel ashamed and disappointed, because I don't think I've ever played worse.

@Prism you made it to LyLo with a power town read from everyone who was alive the previous day. You did fine.

As I've been stating in my QT, it's time for an icon change in light of the reveal.

And I proceeded to completely drop the ball and play the worst I have ever played, by a mile. It meant that months of hard work went to waste, not just from myself but from boring and LUV.

I'm not trying to take away anything from you, you both earned that win fighting tooth and nail, and took every inch I gave you without hesitation. I'm just the type of player that can't be happy with leaving something halfway done, and I did that here. It's not really worth it trying to console me, this is something really worth celebrating for you, you've worked for months and you did it.

I'm not upset, Prism. You did a good job despite your busy schedule. Besides, if LUV and I had made better decisions early in the game, you wouldn't have had to go it alone for two whole cycles.

Congratulations, town, and
thank you podoboq!
This was a really fun game, and I learned a lot.

Also the fact that my own frustration with Shadow in many ways wound up being my downfall is hilarious and a good lesson in humility.

One thing that I didn't mention in the thread is that it made me really happy to see nn use this:
In post 3247, nn30 wrote:
In post 488, Prism wrote: 3) Can you describe your play style concisely in one sentence? Whatever it takes to win.


Maybe his plan was always to pretend to 'cool back down' and come back to the game?
It wasn't my plan, but that opening RVS statement was intentionally made against my own alignment. It was intended to be the only warning all game as for what was coming. I wound up deciding to give a second warning with the "WIFOM game and winning" statement and I'm glad that was eventually noticed as well, even if it was to my own detriment.

Some notes on my meta that I gave in my QT that you may or may not find interesting: I despise being the scum to go deep. It is my least favorite way to play scum and the way I am worst at. I heavily prefer either the whole team following through or me being the first one to get lynched. I am much better at setting up my partners than I am setting up myself, unfortunately.

P-Edit: I'm glad to hear that boring, but I'm sorry I couldn't do more to bring home the win. I don't really know what to say-I tried my best, but it really wasn't enough this last day. I don't really gauge my play by whether I win or lose, so much as how satisfied I am with it. My play wasn't satisfactory in my book. It was my worst scumgame in years. And that's on me, not on you/LUV who set me up to succeed, and especially not on nn/BV who smelled blood and took home the W. That in itself is enjoyable, because I love seeing my own errors and my own room for improvement-which I clearly have a lot of.

I think it's pretty clear I'm pretty prideful about my scumgame, and definitely to a fault. So it's lesson time:

One of the key takeaways from this game is just how much more interesting forum mafia is-I got to let out a lot more of my creative side. I set up so many things and didn't even bring up 1/4th of them-it was just a delightful process to go through and really got me to think about how to implement them more/finding more ways to bring them to the forefront. Another half of my ideas I didn't even try, and will have to wait for another game.

I was simultaneously really impressed with the level of play, but also kind of disappointed at just
how much
information was lost in the mishmash. I really felt like I had strong rebukes to BV's day today but didn't even know where to start, let alone with everything else that was going on.

I really needed to be more transparent with LUV/boring about what my thought processes and visions for the game were. I think we would have made a much stronger team if I had.

I also clearly need to work on my deep runs. I can't always avoid them like I want and need to be able to square up better.

Finally find ways to deal with time commitments. This last week was an outlier in that it was
literally the worst week of my life
, having everything from health issues, severe sleep deprivation (Past 7 nights the total is about 20 hours), to urgent trouble with family and work, but there's a larger takeaway here. I wouldn't have had those issues if I learned to do less than more, and be sharper with my posting.

If anyone has any tips for me, please let me know, because I'd love to grow. If it's post more Day 6 I know that one, unfortunately.

Two things that got me Prism: Your hammer on Dier was over the top & you weren't interested in figuring out people's alignments in LyLo. You stuck to your town read on me without confirming it by finding scum motivation in shadow/BV

Just finished reading the dead thread.

Shadow's posts are hilarious. I don't really know what else to say about them. I'm not even mad, they should have always been funny and honestly I don't think I've burst out loud laughing from reading a forum post in a really long time. I really needed this this week, so thanks Shadow.

I'm really grateful for boring's approval and cheerleading along the way, along with the real faith that LUV and boring placed in me. It really warms the old scum heart.

But above all
holy shit podoboq, you are the real MVP, and won my heart.
I actually love you. I don't know what else to say other than thanks so much for putting on a great game, not modkilling me, and for offering the extension when I desperately needed it even if I wound up not making good on it.

My not voting was strategic to prolong the day, I didn't think nn would vote until I would. Obviously backfired.

My coasting wasn't purposeful except for whatever day it was that we got Dierfire lynched. That one I wanted the angle that I had lost interest in the game as I was pretty sure it was DF and it made no sense to be hyped up and investigating every other player given that assumption.

I mean, as for how I felt about my activity and my posting Day 6, you can read the scum PT for yourself. I left my heart right there on page 10. I didn't want to proddodge, and I wasn't making excuses for myself. I really wanted to post up a storm but just couldn't find the time to do it, and it broke my heart, because I put so much work into this game and I couldn't follow through. It just got worse the last week, which was literally the worst day of my life.

Special shout out to Shadow, who is so deluded in his own mind to think that I'm playing mafia in the scum PT and to the mod. It's been hard to find anything to be cheerful about the past week, but at least I can know there's still empathetic and loving 15 year olds like Shadow here to support me.
