Congrats town!! Great job, Kowah, seeing through my lies!
I had SO MUCH FUN in this game. I really fumbled my way through it, and made a ton of mistakes, but I also learned a lot. I really really appreciate Jason and Umlaut in particular who have taught me so much in this game, and SeeEmpty for being a wonderful scumbuddy.
Kowah, I’m so sorry I kept dogging you all game! I actually find your game theories fascinating and I’d love to play a D1 like you envision. Creating a fake nemesis was just too good a chance to pass up. Karma certainly got me back when I missed that you were bulletproof after the Mew kill lol!
Y’all are amazing, hope I get a chance to play with you again!
also, fferylit, thanks for great modding. I was also tickled by the idea that us scum were labs hiding amongst the terriers. It was so difficult for me not to comment on every cute dog pic posted.

Your reactions to it seemed pretty authentic. I'll be honest, I wasn't at all confident I was correct with my vote. You did a great job as scum.
You're so nice to say that, I tried my best. I know I made a bunch of mistakes, especially with kills and also with not acknowledging the possibility of another setup, like you noticed.
Yeah you played it well, i just have no clue why you didn't just cave at some point in D2 and have me limmed, probably would have made you and SeeEmpty's job way easier and lead to a pretty easy win.
Like you didn't have to have a great reason to lim me, because at that point all it takes is 1 mislim to win, and one bad townie vote to win.

I should have! I was too wrapped up in the idea that SeeEmpty and I needed to stay on opposite sides after we kind of accidently ignored each other all D1. We also had a hard time coordinating during that period- we live on opposite sides of the planet and it could be hard for each of us to plan with each other in real time.
And here is what i will say, given you chose not to lim me, best strategy was probably to go with a no shoot no block N2.
You get whoever Mewtaph JK'd Limmed (forcing a mislim with no confirmations), and then get to kill off Mewtaph the next night anyway (and blocking Umlaut is probably fine at this point, it just didn't really work when we didn't know who Mewtaph was on).

I just want to say that this has been one of my favorite newbie games to moderate. I really enjoyed watching everyone play and thought you all did well with your roles and in your alignments!
Merlyn I thought this was a bravura performance for a first forum mafia game!
I hope you all will stick around and sign up for more games. If you have trouble figuring out what sort of game you'd like to play next, please feel free to PM me to discuss the different kinds of games we play at mafiascum.net!
My pup and I thank you for not rebelling against all the way-too-cute doggy pix in this game's flavor!
I'm still not sure if the possible (?) Labrador retriever in his family tree explains his personality. I think his veterinarian nailed it: he's Terrieresque!
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
Also, if you had a personal PT for this game and would like to share it in the post game (no pressure -- it's totally up to you!), let me know and I'll make it public for you.

This honestly didn't even hit me until well into D3
Nah i'm guessing Kowah hammer looked town enough that Mewtaph swapped.
I didn't want to harp on that point though because i didn't think it benefited us as town to consider that point because Kowah would have had to make the biggest of plays to have won like that.

I was savoring the eventual lab ancestry reveal! It does explain some of my Pip's non-terrier physical features, but inside his doggy brain he's all terrier.
Also, my first dog was a black lab mix, and she was definitely on my mind as I researched the flavor for this game. She was a sweet, sweet dog who aimed to please in every way. The pupster is definitely not like that!

Not possible to have too many cute doggy pics
Yay, I'm so glad you had fun too! And that for saying that, especially since you got to see all my behind the scenes fumbles lol!
I had NO IDEA that you could spectator a game. Or that anyone was watching this one! I've read pretty much every current newbie game on the site in the last month, I should have been PM'ing the mods!

That's hilarious. I have a very bossy authoritarian terrier corgi mix myself
This was a great game, and Merlyn and SeeEmpty were both great adversaries!
Day 3 when I was choosing between Merlyn and T3 I recall finding it off that Merlyn got so indignant at T3 for switching to her own preferred wagon, but I literally forgot about that when I was reviewing the evidence because I found the other points so convincing.

Yeah, spectating games is definitely a thing, and there's often at least one or two non-players spectating the newbie games. You're all welcome to spectate games that I moderate (and to play them)! Just shoot me a PM and let me know you'd like to join the spectator threads.

lololol whoops, I did indeed do that!
I meant it when I said you were a great player, I just happened to know for sure you were town Pretty much the first page you subbed in, I was like, 'I'm in danger!'
I think you felt bad about being annoyed with me early in the game (and you didn't need to be, I didn't take it personally) and overcompensated. However I had no doubt that if I managed to get to endgame you couldn't be there, you're a very savvy player
