Please go back and try to fix your mistakes for future games. This game was an immense frustration to play seriously given how bad the overall town play was. Most players did nothing and most of those who did anything at all didn't have very good reads (myself included in that). There were some players who defended only scum and attacked only townies. I've hated playing in games of this size for a while now but I keep giving them chances. I think perhaps it is time I TRULY took a break from them to focus on smaller games (yeah yeah been saying that for a while :p) | ||

You weren't playing your town meta and anyone who defended you on that basis wasn't reading the thread. No offense to the scumteam, but this was (like most normals recently) firmly a town loss, not really a scum win. When no one in the game has correct reads and the only people attacking scum are scum themselves, you can do whatever you want as scum and win. I've done that myself as scum. | ||

At least for me, since I would never see scum renouncing on a mislynch. The only remaining options in lategame were maju and grush. Maju didn't even bother defending himself, everyone on the scumteam was pointing to grush, making him actually look less suspicious. This was quite nice play by scum, so I wouldn't take credit away from the scumteam, although they had casualman casting a lot of doubt at that stage of the game. Those weren't the "only" options. In one of my last posts I even included Kurumi and Acro on the list of players who needed to be scrutinized. I would've done it myself if I lived but obviously I didn't. You should really consider rereading the new player guides if you think that the number of people accusing someone has something to do with their alignment. It can mean that player is being bussed OR that they are town, therefore it is a relatively weak tell either way. Too many players focus on the happenings instead of reading for motivations. That's hard to do but if no one puts in the effort for it, no scum are found. We had a great scum candidate on d2: two, in fact. Katina, and grush. However when I attacked katina, townies who weren't reading the thread opposed the lynch. One townie cannot force his opinion upon dozens of unwilling without some sort of push that is greater than his voice. In order to fix that the most constructive way, everyone needs to participate and pull their own weight. Imagine if we had 3-4 townies who caught at least 1 scum. Game would've been much closer then. Also, the scum modkill kind of proves my point that scum weren't doing anything. I can guarantee Adam would've lived quite a long time just by lurking. | ||
