yeah, that's likely the method I'll use next time. It was less ideal in that it involved a TON of "well X would NEVER choose to be scum" arguments, which the tokens did somewhat avoid (though the argument against swaps was strongest when focusing on how swapping reintroduced that factor back in). But I also felt like fewer people got really discouraged (other than the Screaming Death Clan who drew 3/4 scum)..- pirate mollie

I feel like team!mafia was very all consuming. but I don't regret it.
mebbe some of us just need a break.
in other news metal played incredibly well, good grief it was so hard to get him lynched but that was the lynch that mattered cos if he wld have made it to lylo he wld have won, more than likely.
I had a discussion with quadzypants on how town/sided and scum/sided nightless is and we had differing opinions. in the nightless games that I have played/spectated scum won more of them. he pointed out that town win more nightless games on ms and it gives food for thought.whew!- Tammy

I guess it could depend on the town, but it just seems incredibly difficult for scum to win a nightless game. And not necessarily because there's no way to get rid of the strong town players, but also because the lack of a night phase doesn't give you a refresher period and can increase fatigue. It can do that for town to I guess, but no break is just difficult when you have to try to fool people nonstop without a break.I am in the top 90% of scumhunters onsite!- Rhinox

Congrats winners! No qualms about the outcome.
The strongest, best, most skilled players don't always win in... pretty much any competition you can think of, you know?
I had a lot of fun with my game, even when it kinda really started going off the rails lol. I'm just glad I was out of the game by then!- Faraday

Well yes, some people would have, but I think that if it had been Cockettes it'd have been a much smaller number of people.In post 734, Nachomamma8 wrote:psyche

I'm happy that someone has actually my long post. I'm even happier that someone has found the most relevant piece of information of it. ^_^- T-Bone

Anyway, to those saying they'll play (or not play) next year, it won't be until 2017 earliest (honestly, I thought the 3 year turnaround was pretty good, but 2 years might be good too). I think people's stamina and interest for this type of thing is reduced if it's done too often, not to mention this is a pretty big undertaking for me, and it means that for about 6 months I don't get to run any other games that I want to run.
Ho Ho! 2 years! We're all going to be old.
Glad I had the opportunity to take part in this installment! It was one of the most intense games that I have ever played, and it affects me in all angles.
I love my team. I love Westeros circlejerk.
I was able to know more players on a closer personal level. I think that's great.
though, if I did win my nightless, my team won't have won, but then Westeros would have! And every1 would definitely be happy! grumblegrumble- SleepyKrew

The scum win that was the most harrowing in my long list of scum games was a 4:8 vanilla nightless. Mollie was there <3- Aneninen

Perhaps use each victory as a multiplier for surveys next year. Then raw victories AND player behavior will work.
I am almost tempted to recommend a hidden com game again as well.ShowThe scum had the misfortune of Titus being absurdly accurate on day one.Really quite impressed by that.~Drixx
You're letting Titus win the game by herself.Good luck now I guess.You have no chance to win.~Tywin

rather than release the whole topic, I believe Cockettes will be providing selective quotes:

I would imagine he's talking about the Alquin counterclaim"Don’t buy a dozen eggs if you just want a hardboiled egg. Don’t buy a head of lettuce if you just want a salad. Don’t buy eggs and lettuce if you want egg salad because those are not the right ingredients." -Julius Bloop - hitogoroshi
