Hosts did what we could to balance the remaining game on the basis of 5v2 with the remaining roles being RB vs RB (1-shot cop spent; GF therefore also moot), keeping in mind the information that was already out there due to the claimed cop greencheck and people claiming to have gotten roleblocked -- notice the emphasis there on claims: these are not "confirmed facts" and this the potential for WIFOM is there depending on whether you believe the claims or not.
The way we set it up, as of the start of N2 both factions had a decent chance of winning the game.
I can understand that scumteam would feel threatened with a more experienced player jumping in and kickstarting the discussion, but c'mon, we're not going to just let you cruise to victory thanks to low activity, we're going to make sure you work for it (just kidding =Þ).
Seriously though, it was necessary to replace Blurry -- who failed to make any mention of being roleblocked N1. If we modkilled 3 for 1, town would be going into a 4v2 at N2, and most likely 3v2 after the nightkill, and missing this crucial piece of information.

Yes I think it was the best you could have done in the circumstances, it was a good game at that point. Some odd dynamics, that's about it; unavoidable
Koshi did a good job as well IMO. Coming in like he did he could have been a lot less open and instead pressured people about details. But he basically laid out information for both teams. I could see mafia being intimidated about him at LYLO though
I hope stormtemplar isn't feeling too bad about this game, by the way. If you're around, I hope you know that pressuring you about why you missed the RB was only part of the game; we needed to see your reaction. Absolutely no hard feelings, mistakes are part of the game for everyone
