Yay! Aw I give you a story and I get a lousy 3?! (jk <3)

I have played too many games with Ace that I would feel bad if I wrongly accused him. May sound silly, but he foole me this game That's my problem, and I'll have to read into it better X_X

Do you have a role ranking list? Or does it really depend on the picking positions?

* Not backing Incog more: this was just silliness. I had a strong pro-town read, but had too much respect for Incogs play to be able to fully back him. Ace had successfully turned the thread, and I didn't think I could un-turn it. No need for advice here, I know where I failed and how to remedy it.

Two examples of how fear leads people to make the wrong decision, even though in the back of their minds they know they are making a mistake. Don't be afraid of looking like a fool. Make sure you don't make irrational assumptions. Sometimes you need to take a step back and look at the facts objectively instead of being afraid that Ace will laugh at you if you wrongly accuse him or that I am somehow going to fool you again.

While I'm not entirely happy with receiving a 3 out of 10, I can't really argue against it. It's just that it implies that I played badly which I don't think I did. I certainly didn't play great but whatever.

I never actually claimed to be the inventor. I mean, I assume it was really obvious that I was but yeah. People pretty much just started talking about me like I was the inventor, and I just let it slide. I certainly couldn't counter-claim anything since there would be a good chance that I would be proven a liar, which is also how I felt saying anything like "no I'm not" would go as well.

It's very true that I could have hidden my role better but I didn't see an alternative choice that the mafia wouldn't want to kill that would be a suitable townie pick at the 2nd spot.

In retrospect I feel like I let the game get away from me. I felt my pick as well as my first invention were basically forced because doing anything else would get me killed. I actually was thinking of making something that would protect me night one. (basically something that turned whoever I gave it to into a bodyguard for me. Or something like that.) But I actually didn't expect to die, and if I didn't die I'd need to show

But I think I did well in line of how I tend to play. Ideas and big plans early on are not what I like to do (and I don't think I do them well) so I feel I did what I could to help the town.



As for the game itself, I was really surprised that I didn't get thief'd and instead I just got killed. Seeing where the mafia picked their roles made things clearer as they were probably afraid that thief had already been taken. I think I was most afraid of the Caller Godfather role, though. Glad we didn't have to deal with that.

I say take out the traitor and village idiot, or at the very least change them to be more interesting. I feel it really is not a difficult thing to do to get yourself lynched, and it basically spoils the game for everyone. I also don't understand the point of the traitor in this as you'd basically have to want to be mafia no matter what for some reason. I think both roles screw up game balance as well, as noted by the expectation that traitor would be picked. I really don't know why this was expected, though.

I thought I made it clear in the intro but I guess not. You didn't play particularly badly at all you just got shot night 1 so your overall impact was small besides the solid invention, thats why the rating. Your position was tough and you needed to play more proactively to avoid an early death, which more or less meant appearing more pro town and putting a little more effort into your thoughts to show innocence. I think the suspicion on you is why kita didn't end up protting you.
