I'll type up a longer analysis later. Some initial thoughts:

1) Reasonably active scumteam rolled an inactive town. That was the game right there.

2) The lack of a town-leader is devastating in this setup more than the normal games IMO. Day 2 turned into a complete waste of time as town waddled around between suspicions, then swung a quick-emotional lynch on risk. The risk.nuke lynch was terrible. He was playing nothing like his scum-meta, and wasn't even objectively scummy. Even mislynching RoL or Hopeless on Day 2 would improve your prospects on Day 3 so much more.

3) Don't vote at LYLO unless it's a coordinated town effort! One wrong vote by a townie is insta-GG via scum-hammer.

Also, how was the setup itself? Any improvements/tweaks you'd like for the next version?

I liked the setup - I just pray for a more active roster in the next one. -.-

As far as the scum, CC and Lazer did a really good job staying active.

I thought Lazer was really catchable with his Day 2 voting actions (he was really throwing his vote around for litte rationale), but it was hard to take a serious look at him given the poor town atmosphere and activity.

CC played an excellent game. RoL made some good observations on CC with his initial case on him (namely his negative attitude towards discussion and some passive finger-pointing), but the case wasn't pushed at all, and you're not going to lynch an active player like that.

Yeah, I was really busy around that time and just had time to post the case and couldn't do much more. I will say I was really annoyed that the town was mad that I didn't comment on hopeless/sylencia at that point. There really was no discussion leading up to that, it was practically idle jabs with nothing significant brought forward.

I felt that the 48-hour Day 1 felt really artificial. I'll probably tweak the time-mechanics a bit for the next version. I'm thinking either...

a) A "time-bank" mechanic. Town starts with 72-96 hours on Day 1, and gains 24 more hours every cycle. If time ever expires on town, the day ends in a no-lynch.
b) A flat 1-week time limit on the game.
