I've gotta add a few role related thoughts.

1. My own role: I felt using it would throw to many things into confusion. I didn't want town to have to figure out what the hell happened with delayed actions on top of all the other weird shit I was sure would occur. The personality was the best I could have hoped for though, foolishness' play in aperture one has always been my go to best town play and I was excited to emulate it to the best of my ability. In reality it wasn't hard to write the lymircs in game, it was much harder to not speak in limericks in real life as, for the duration of the game, I pretty much thought in limericks.

2. The reversed flip on Cora. Once I had seen his flip change I decided that trusting the host on either flip made no sense. I had read him as red and he had been flipped as both green and red. I don't know why we should have trusted the second flip any more than the first. I decided to treat him as if he had not flipped at all and continue from there.

3. Overall I'm pretty displeased with my play. Before the game ended I correctly identified all the scum but it was pretty late on the game for that.

4. I have no idea how anyone read Yamato as scum from his play. Along with people saying they couldn't understand what i was saying this confused me more than anything else in the game. In fact I contacted both GMarsh and Artanis during the game to ask if I was making sense and both said that i was so when people (espessially Supersoft) said my limericks were confusing and anti-town I found them scummy for the accusations.

5. I loved having the tree stump in the game. It's one of the roles I've always found most I the resting and never seen play out. I had a good time with it.

6. I talked to oats just after the game finished about his use of the plexa role. I had a town read on him all game but based on what he had done with the role if he had ever admitted to being plexa I would have lynched him on the spot. The use of his role was pretty abysmal.

7. My PM interactions with mocsta brought me from a green read on him to a red read but by that point in the game the thread was so shit I could see him simply being demoralized and having lost interest. I didn't pursue him in the thread enough and, while I bread crumbed that he had masoned me (and he had obviously BC'd GreY earlier) no one picked up on it after my death. This is the part of my play I am least proud of.

The reason I didn't out Oats as Plexa in thread, even tho he claimed to me in mason, is that I 'knew' he was town, and that people would try to lynch him for being illogical and stuff.

I disagree that nothing came out of the masoning, it was cool beans.

I feel like I played my role as well as I could have. fk da h8ers. If you'll notice, I made my claim in a way that didn't sound like a "bodyguard" but like a "medic", so I kinda forced scum to shoot me INSTEAD of marv, even though a doublestack would have killed us both IIRC

Masoning with dandel was awesome, mostly cause he was drunk half the time and hungover the other half.

Also we pretty much thought that each other was confirmed townie so we were shooting the shit.

About my use of the Magic Marker, I honestly couldnt think of a good way to use it :/
It was a fun idea to come up with, but yeah execution was horrible.

I did not want to make an overpowered invention because its so boring. Give me list check please. :/
Also with the 'nerf' I tried to make it as detailed as possible and therefore there was no nerf.

hehe.

Was so convinced that snb was BH based on the paint pics and including BHs, plus figured BH was enough of a "personality" that he'd be in the game, and nobody counterclaimed.

The Mr. Wiggles role is one of my favorites from the game. I like the idea of a role that can reward or punish the player based MOSTLY on what that player does. I'd be kind of interested in roles like that but where some of the powers aren't one-shot (one-shot vet powers always seem way less useful/more swingy than one-shot medic/investigative/etc.). Maybe something like a cop who gets different sanity checks back based on an input? Just something neat where a role can be more or less powerful than the french vanilla equivalent depending on some other factor.

Thanks for the write-up and the thoughts on the roles.

I sent in BC as my check at first. But when the first two players flipped both had hidden powers, I started assuming that everyone had hidden powers. I thought that my hidden power was likely either a vig or a CPR doc (especially CPR doctor since that would mean that my guesses would only be right when they were wrong lol), so I changed to Foolishness because I really really thought he was scum. But if I'd stuck on BC I would have survived an extra phase at least.
