Sorry guys for the bad play, I was too hasty in giving DTA my role. After chatting with YI in PMs like a couple mintues after, I realized how much I screwed up.

Thank god for town

If you're a Bodyguard, never give that information out. Who can it help, even?

LaXer, no shame man. I am this game's worst player for trusting darth 100%. Good thing town still won.

Myself and deconduo (the DT) trusted him entirely as well lol. Played right into his little game when we thought we were making a circle of trust...

Heh, to be honest I expected him to have both of you killed.
Giving up a Mayor for two DTs and a Medic (littlechava RCed as well) is well worth it, since you're nulling three blue roles plus the power seat for the town. In fact, it would have helped a lot...

Sorry for my inactivity. In the future I'll try signing up for a game without clues - then I won't be able to excuse myself from actually reading/posting as much as I should because I can "fall back on clues" to determine people's alignment.

Though my clue analysis was pretty shitty anyway

. Especially about Darth. I had no idea he was connected to the clues, didn't take names into account when scanning profiles.

I log on, and... we won?

But seriously, here are my thoughts on the game.

Mafia played very well the first couple of days. Sneaking Darth into the mayoral spot like that was brilliant, I didn't see it coming until much later. Mafia's biggest mistake came from deciding to nail both LaXer and YellowInk night 3. I see where they were coming from, as YellowInk was a dangerous person to keep alive for much longer, but nailing the bodyguard AND the pardoner in one night aroused too many suspicions that the town circle was infiltrated. Plus, the whole "why was YellowInk targeted and not DTA" thing started suspicions on Darth, which I think led to the mafia's downfall.

crate was mafia? The Godfather, no less? I am completely blindsided, he played an excellent game, and he was actually on my excel sheet as LEAST likely to be mafia. Darth played very well too, until that slipup on the last day, where he drew way too much suspicion on him. Sucks that the DTs were apparently clairvoyant (nice job, guys!), and kept his hands tied throughout the second half of the game, but so goes the life of a scum mayor, I suppose.

I am slightly confused as to why mafia conceded. Here's how I see the rest of the game playing out:

2 scum lynched by us, Darth probably cleared in the eyes of the town
crate had absolutely no suspicion on him from what I can tell
The 2 of them should have been able to keep it going for a good long time, maybe being able to make a run at an endgame win (although it would have been hard once it got down to 5-6 people, but hey, they had a decent shot)

Not like I'm complaining that they conceded, but if I had been in their place, I probably would have elected to keep fighting. Plus, the sacrifice-half-your-team ploy would have been just so incredibly badass.

Looking back on the game, here's who I thought was almost positively town:

crate
MTF
DCLXVI
DeuceGladlier
DTA (provided bumatlarge flipped red, which he would have)

And here's who I thought were mafia:

Hugoboss
LunarDestiny
TheGilaBoy
CompX (that would have been a tragedy, lol

)

So I was pretty far off, lol. Still, I'm glad it worked out in the end.

Thoughts on my play:

I didn't play as well as I wanted to this game. My reading of the game, and of several people in it, was off. Here's what I'd like to do better myself next game:

BE MORE ACTIVE DAMMIT: I was pretty active Day 1 and 2, but I dropped off a LOT afterwards. This is following a trend I've noticed in my playstyle, so I need to work to keep it together for the long haul. I don't want to make flamewheel cry

Don't trust people who post a ton of great analysis. Example: crate. Dude appeared extremely town-aligned to me when I read over his posts, but only because they were long and substance-filled. I really have to read more carefully into people's voting habits and WHAT they are saying, and look a lot closer to try and catch contradictions.

Above all, DON'T TRUST PEOPLE YOU KNOW FROM PAST GAMES JUST BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEM FROM PAST GAMES. (i still <3 you DTA, but you played me like a piano T_T).

That's all for this post. Funtimes coming up in a bit

The problem was that I got scared when people said I was 99% town aligned. I was certain I was going to get hit so I took a gamble and tried to grab some protection. :S

the last day / night where we killed YellowInk/LaXer was all for the lulz.

I never understood why people implicitly trusted you. I think I commented on that early on how people just "felt" that you were town and went with that. Your posts were quite neutral till day 3.

DTA played the town role so well that he forgot he was mafia lol - what a lawful person!

Clutch rolechecks by the DTs.
