I haven't heard anything from KJ yet. I'm not gonna count on any more people showing up to the party.

All the spam from the last page or two is hilarious, but kinda meaningless. So it all boils down to me?

I'm not going to change my vote after all. Sorry for being stubborn, my (apparently poor) analysis got us this far, might as well go all the way. My sincere apologies if I am wrong, but regardless this has been an excellent learning experience for me. But the game isn't over yet, so i'll save that for later.

The reason nemesis had to fake claim:
Mafia wants to say subversion fake claimed role block, i.e. there isn't really a roleblocker. That means we're in a setup with 1 blue role. Where's the blue? they had to fake claim. Was hoping some team would come along and point this out, but nobody did. Still wanted to believe in ace/meapak, but I really can't now.

Ace was all over LSB for his poor read of Ace's posts, but Ace's read of me was even worse. This has been a hard game for me to decipher, and if I turn out wrong my poor ego may never recover (actually it might be good for me). But in the end, I'm going to go with my analysis and trust myself one last time.

I already voted, but it feels like I should say something epic but I can't think of anything. oh well. Let's see what happens next...

This game will have no modkills, I have decided it is pointless because both juniors and seniors are useless without the other. If you are inactive then its your loss on a learning experience and I will ban you from future boot camps. By joining this game and going inactive you steel someone elses opportunity to learn which is a dick move.

I want to hear your excuse, subversion, but really, dick move. Was this just to prove that town will destroy itself if mafia just afk's? I wish the modkill rule hadn't been modified, would have saved us a lot of trouble this game...

I guess I get the mafia's BFF award this game rofl.
I'm gonna be bitter I think.

@ chaoser, i and others posted several times something to the effect of "why would mafia need to fake claim when they had an easy lynch in the bag". the idea being it was an unnecessary risk. But, in fact, it would have been a necessary risk. I wanted someone to point this out just to see if anyone was trying, paying attention, and at least half-truthful. Nobody did.

There was no easy, logical choice for me. I had to go with my analysis, and even though i practically begged people to help me see why mango/gmarshal were scum, nobody did an analysis of them either.

I don't want to lay blame for the loss on anyone though. The truth is, my play was horribly flawed and there was a bunch of times I shoulda stayed quiet but was too paranoid to trust anyone else to make decisions for the town. Not to mention my analysis 'skills'.

In the end though I had fun, so there's no reason to go around making people feel bad. Not as much fun as if I had won, but maybe I learned more this way. GG everyone.

? Oh, I said no reason to make people feel bad talking about myself laying blame around. I had fun, why should I criticize anyone? I actually have really thick skin and never thought to take offense.

as for what worked:
-feeling comfortable being able to trust SOMEBODY
-seeing the game through someone else's eyes really helps avoiding simple mistakes like tunneling or going off of bad scumtells.

what didn't work:
-too hard to coordinate schedules, I got very little back and forth with my partner (although in my past game with KJ I learned more than ever before or since thanks to his tutelage)
-inactivity right off the bat while people try to coordinate
-no modkills

My advice for the future would be to help define the senior's role more clearly. Voting partner or not? are they expected to post? should their posts be limited? etc. I personally like Ace's stricter inactivity guidelines too i.e. post every 24 hours. Although that's a lot harder to enforce.

The size of this game is like perfect... you mess up twice, it's lylo, but you still got a good shot...you don't have to sift through posts from thirty people... It did feel inactive, and this thread is only page 24, but at least there was no spam problem... nice setup overall RoL. I liked the balance/size.
