1. Spotlighted Zealos and Papapanda. 2. Reactions around the Kita flip looked genuine. 3. Papapanda's reply to his FoS. 4. Gut town read. By far the strongest read I ever had on Kenpachi. I was pretty sure Hyaach was town too, so it was one of you and Austin. Austin unfortunately played scum agenda all game by accident  | ||

I'll just leave this quote here: <WBG> what's the single most important thing marvellosity did this game? <Maju> Start a case on Mana? | ||

 A large chunk of my reason for supporting the Kita/MZ theory in the ObsQT was my lack of alternate scumreads. At the time I had ET, Marv, Austin, Hyaach & Kenpachi as town, and one of Manason and Maju. Wiggles I couldn't get a read on. The conspiracy theory arguably made more sense than the truth. Edit: Oh yeah, that Maju quote wasn't supposed to be some kind of smoking gun. It was funny at the time and differently funny after the flips. I thought Maju handled that situation pretty well by only incriminating himself. | ||

Guess it was tough to spot in that 60 page day 2. Any reason for roleblocking VE? | ||

Real shame his shot didn't go through. I reckon we'd have killed Gambit or Wiggles day 2. | ||

Day 2 was quite spammy despite a lot of players still not posting. I was seriously thinking that VE might be doing it deliberately like in that horrible game. | ||

To me you were the only one making sense and so naturally you gained points in my book. This was actually a rather dubious switch from Marv. Earlier in the day, he'd been hedging on VE in a slightly scummy manner. Once the lynch was virtually sealed he switched to throwing suspicion on people for voting VE, while not really pushing the case for an alternate lynch. It's why I didn't give either you or Marv as much credit for day 2 as some players did. Remember when I called for players not on Zealos or VE to switch to Zealos? That's what was needed for a vote switch. There was a bare majority on VE (~16) and about 4 votes on Zealos at the time. No-one was going to break the majority on VE without a serious alternate lynch. Wiggles probably had a better chance of getting a switch with his Maju stunt. Essentially Marv pushed Zealos hard at two points: When the majority opinion was for a lynch on Zealos and Gambit was the alternate lynch, and then again when it was too late to get a lynch on Zealos. That's a pretty soft bus. Note that if Marv hadn't pushed Zealos, he'd have been open to accusations given how he nailed him in MTG. So tactically it was an optimal bus, and you just have to consider whether Marv is a good enough scum player to fake-rant. I think he's proved that previously. Then there's the question of whether the rest of Marv's play was sufficiently townie. He maintains a high activity level, but there was a lot of buddying (and not just the proposal), quite a lot of scum agenda and a generally weak late-game contribution. Nothing particularly damning, but I'd have lynched him before Hyaach or Kenpachi. I think the lesson here is that you have to judge players on their own standards. You shouldn't lynch Kenpachi before Marv just because he never made a case longer than two lines. You shouldn't lynch Hyaach before Marv just because he wasted a day on conspiracy theories. Hell, I called the guy "paranoid loner newbie town" on day 2. Once you factor in players' weaknesses, it's a lot easier to work out whether they're actually scum. And yeah, I made the same mistake on Kitaman. I should have figured that he had a terrible weakness against newbie lurkers | ||

People read your activity there as a town tell, while tactically it's good play for scum unless there's a genuine chance of switching people to a Zealos lynch.

It was all relative. I doubt I'd have lynched you before 2-1, so it's an academic point. The players left at 3-1 weren't going to lynch you. | ||
