You also gotta look at the power roles. Town had a full cop, full watcher, full vig, and a fuckload of lesser roles, whereas scum had a single KP, a gimped medic, a framer, a "captain" and two powers we never even used. There are different ways to balance games, and town had a massive power role advantage this game. Seriously, this was a pretty big game with a single fixed KP. It was in no way rigged against town.

I thought this wasn't over until grush dropped dead since mafia wincon said "control at least half the votes in town"

So technically.....

But since town had no medic or bulletproof players left, there was no way to prevent it even with perfect lynches, I explained in the scum qt.

Grats to the scum team.

Thanks for hosting Ace, Dandel Ion and Kurumi!

Interesting roles. I like the prplhz Captain role especially.

Very true, it was an interesting and cool role. And agreed, thanks to ace et al for hosting, it was a really fun game.

Just finished reading ace's rubbing commentary. Guess I get scum MVP (because I got away with my OO/oats post)?

(Lolno)

I agree that we almost snatched defeat out if the jaws of victory. There was no need for ve to bus bh, plus that night I got drunk at a party and forgot to medic bh, which was my plan. Still this was a really fun game, I loved being on an active scum team for once. Sorry my activity fell off after I thought I might have thrown the game with that night action lapse.

Like I agree that shirokami hurt town by aggressively not giving a fuck, but I feel like that's balanced out by me letting bh die, that would have made a big difference.

Game would have been better as well as closer if the modkills didn't happen.

given that those people signed up, the modkills were essential for town to have a fighting chance - hiro was right, they just wouldn't have had enough votes to ever lynch a scum.

obviously though you're right that the game would've been better if those people had decided to actually play

I want to explain my BH push when I get to a computer. Anyone familiar with my play should be able to see I never had any intension of getting him lynched. It was strictly a PR move and as Ace will tell you, a fairly transparent one.

yeah but i think ace would agree that it wasn't a very good idea in that circumstance
