[Boonskiies]

Granted, I'm pretty sporadic and unreadable. I didn't even think I was going to hammer Adrien. Tn, you're fine, haha. He changed the sprite to a shiny salamence.

[tn5421]

Yep. Looks normal to me. Maybe you found a shiny one or something?

Maybe, but some of my other colors aren't right. I think it's the monitor itself. Thankfully I don't do any color-sensitive things on here.

A green Salamence?

I think you need to scrub your screen

No, the monitor itself is clean.

[Not_Mafia]

Then you need to throw it away

[Boonskiies]

Why was Brood killed over me, Adrien? And haha, Aegor totally won it for us.


@tn - it's green, yo.

[Salamence20]

It's a shiny Salamance.

Sparkle sparkle

[reinoe]

Our game has a star symbol on it. I've never seen that before.

[TheAdrienC]

Why was Brood killed over me, Adrien? And haha, Aegor totally won it for us.


@tn - it's green, yo.

I thought that, in the case of a longshot JoaT or something like that was hiding around, they would protect you. I thought Brood, the other cop confirmed, would have been 100% able to do.

[Boonskiies]

Oh that makes sense. I would have definitely been protected over brood.

[Aegor]

@Wake:

Nice job at the end. I strongly disagree with your early kills, and the fact that you and scum shot the same people is...not awesome, but nice job with setup spec at the end. As a note, Commuters should never, under any circumstances, be considered cleared.

@Toomai:

Thank you for modding this game. It had a great setup, my role was awesome, and this was the smoothest and most aesthetically beautiful modding I have seen in some time.

@All:

If you want more Large Normals, Wake's is now in signups, and you should definitely pre-in for mine.

[Aegor]

By the way, good job town for getting my inno crumbs.


Also, you all are super lucky that Aero NKed TWIE, since he by rights should have cleared himself based on his reaction to my softclaim.

[TheAdrienC]

Toomai, you had a great game, most fun I've had in a mafia game.

Wake, you got me! I panicked a little when I realized you were shifting to distrusting me.

[shaddowez]

First off, thank you Toomai, great job modding!

Secondly, good game guys - there were definitely a few clusterfuck moments, but was a good time.

[reinoe]

Oh that makes sense. I would have definitely been protected over brood.

In the mafia thread I did put DYING REQUEST that if I got killed that Boonskiies should be shot. Instead that never happened...

Yeah, I'm a little bitter but I'll get over it soon enough. I've never lost as scum for damn good reason...

[Mirhawk]

Good times guys, I really enjoyed this game. Props to Toomai for excellent modding as well.

@Adrien
I couldn't believe when you got Juls like that, right when you needed her to not be alive too.

[shaddowez]

And damn, N1

and

N3 had someone double-targeted. That definitely threw me for a loop. Was convinced for a while Wake was putting on the hugest gambit ever.

[Boonskiies]

I definitely should have been shot. I'm a dumb wildcard often that was annoying to have around after being cop confirmed.

I've never been NK'd actually.

[Juls]

My musings...

Sharpest-knife-on-tree - I hammered you out of spite against wake. Least town thing I did all game and I apologize.
Cabd - very obviously town. I cannot believe that you were shot by a town-vig. Plus you replaced my BFF Salamence so that makes you doubly awesome.
TheAdrienC - I struggle with what to say to you. Your fakeness can be forgiven because you were, well, fake, cause you had to be. Hopefully you can improve on that. But then I think back to your BS about me misspelling your name and threatening to report me, and running Salamence out of the game and I think that's just a shitty way to play, even as scum. Take that for what you will.
reinoe - you were more vocal in the dead thread then you were in game. I barely remember you during the game.
Wake88 - will likely never play with you again. You need to learn to talk to people, stop OMGUSing, and get over this idea that the game revolves around you. And stop bugging the moderator to prod players or players to post when it's been less than 24 hours since the game opened.
Burning_TowN {Burning_Earth, tn5421} - I thought you were scum primarily for being lurky. I would have probably lynched you if your wagon grew.
shaddowez - You were very logical in end game and that worried me since you were kinda quiet for the most part. I think you may have been drowned out by the noise in retrospect. Nice playing with you.
Damon_Gant - I don't remember you at all other than you were on my scum list at points.
Mirhawk - You scared me because you agreed with me. That was a rarity in this game.
Not_Mafia - I have read you as town in this our 3rd game together. That scares me cause you were scum in one of them. I realize that you are going to be a difficult person for me to read. But I would love to play more games with you.
Aegor - we didn't always agree but I do appreciate a player who can have civil discourse. I would love to play with you again.
TheWayItEnds - you drew the wrong alignment. Wish we could have been on the same team.
farside22 - you're lucky you died early
Boonskiies - you had no reason to hammer me. I just don't understand someone who plays this game to what? Last as long as possible? Hammer people? I'm still really irritated by the way you handled my lynch.
BroodKingEXE - congrats on being confirmed town cause no one would have known based on your content.
Juls - I didn't play a good game by far. I hammered a tracker, I couldn't convince people to lynch Adrien, and I got way more irritated than I wanted to given recent games where I tried to take a calmer approach. I am disappointed with myself.
Aeronaut - Town MVP. The reason I pushed your lynch is you white knighted too much. Get that under control and you will probably be very successful as scum.
HunterSeeker - village idiot that should be reported for playing against wincon.
Clusk92 - don't remember him.
BP - I thought you were town. Good thing Aegor investigated you and I believed in Aegor cause I would likely have never lynched you otherwise.
Alina - I already mentioned, be more confident in your play. Otherwise you were very good.

[TheAdrienC]

I didn't mean to run Sal out of the game. I was just trying to stay alive.

[Alina]

Alina - I already mentioned, be more confident in your play. Otherwise you were very good.

Thanks! If anyone else has any advice on how I can improve my play, that would be very much appreciated. :3

[Boonskiies]

@Juls - You were confusing my scum reads far too much. All my attention was drawn to you, and I did have a hunch you were scum. In the end, I knew if it came down to it, I was going to be the final person to have to make a decision, and I couldn't have you be anywhere near that. Also, with you out of the way, I was able to narrow down everything. I had super town read on Wake, so I was pretty set unless I died, which I don't believe I would have.

PEdit: @Alina - Like Juls said, just be more direct about your statements. It's implied that they are opinions anyhow, so you being unsure of yourself was the main reason I had a scum read on you. It wasn't until I hard interrogated or whatever I did that your certainty came out. Play like that, and you'll be super hard to read as scum, and come off as super town.

[Mirhawk]

Mirhawk - You scared me because you agreed with me. That was a rarity in this game.

Ironically, I was townreading you for the same reason.

I didn't actually agree with the tells you were using to push you suspects, but that was okay as they were still the same people I thought were scum.

I actually followed the lead of my town reads a lot this game now that I think about it.

[Juls]

Happy birthday Mirahawks

[Mirhawk]

Wake was instatown the second he posted that he was responsible for those kills. Double so seeing as how Aero flipped SK immediately afterward.
