Pretty darned flipping baller. Pff, you are no true coach unless you play hangman or tic-tac-toe with your shadow. I would have played Dodgeball with him as well, but it's kind of hard to play that in a QT
If you can dodge a lynch you can dodge a ball

lol @ that suki lynch.  Scum lost because they lurked too hard. Inactive mafia always loses.

This is for town

Blazinghand is actually a really amazing coach. Not the best at getting reads in game though and he is fairly consistently afk as mafia.

I think the sheer name of Blazinghand does enough to scare the scum team in to killing him off.

Half of the logs are Prome complaining that his internet sucks.
The other half is me saying THIS GUY TOTES SCUM, prome asking 'why?' and me saying 'I don't know BLAGHH STOP ASKING HARD QUESTIONS'

I think the real reason I eventually get NKed is typically I'm capable of pouring out a fountain of posts so powerful that nothing can hold me back. Even if I'm an ineffective analyst it's very hard to lynch someone who can pour out like 60 WPM of case and defense. My speed is aided by the fact that I don't have to sit and think about my reads before writing.

Gonzaw was an amazing coach. He is like a coaching, advising, fountain of mafia wisdom. Really appreciated the amount of work he put in and giving me great advise and thoughts.
I did kind of fall off after getting the lynch on Suki. I thought we had gotten scum and kind of stopped putting effort in the game 
I perhaps shouldn't of claimed. But I feared Suki getting out her claws again and trying to trying to rip me apart in the thread again. Scury
Suki lets talk about your tunnel. What convinced you I was scum so much. Like from your first day I thought you looked reallly scummy. Like you actively trying to discredit me and throwing things that weren't even true. Like that sheep post about Jonny really made me suspicious of you.

Yeah I just read your QT that was awesome Gonzaw... gonna dive into this prome/suki one next ;D

I think this explains it:
"Ah. My notes from my previous game say:
"If I roll town, be more decisive. Push harder. Try not to be so wishy washy and careless."
What that translates to for me is I will be tunneling people and really trying to push their buttons, even if my case isn't the best.
In my previous game I also played a bit too careless because I wasn't worried about getting killed (since I was just a VT). I need to tighten up my game a bit more. " -suki

Oh you! 
I had lots of fun coaching too. I kind of wished we had more of a back and forth, to discuss topics and the like. Maybe going to IRC would have been a good idea, didn't really think of that. But I think we always were active when the other one was working/sleeping, and that might have been difficult. But I still had fun. I hope you learned some stuff (mainly to NOT act like I do when you are town ).

Yeah, I tried to stimulate you back then with questions and the like. I kind of had an idea the suki lynch would be totally horrible (i.e everybody parking their vote, afking and her flipping town), so I wanted to see if you could spice things up with new reasonings and stuff. But yeah, we all get lazy at some point. In my own experience, when everybody is lazy, it is the perfect chance for you to shine (imagine like what Aqua did last cycle), and be the leader town needs (but not the one it deserves...wait that came out wrong). At the very least it allows you to call people out for lurking and shit on them. That's always fun
Jay, on one hand, I don't believe suki tunneling you was a good move on her, specially with some posts she made and stuff. She did lay off on D2 when you picked up activity, and claimed, etc, which was nice. But on the other hand I kind of see where she was coming from I think I made some analysis of your early D1 play in the QT, specially mentioning how other townies (eager to find scum) can see it as scummy and latch onto it. It's hard to be the towniest town to ever town, you have to work for that, in your own way. But if you follow some guidelines you can get better at that, and be unlynchable without needing a blue claim.
The most important thing I think is the contrast with your play the previous game. Such contrast will always get the attention of SOMEONE. Maybe not one of the other 6 townies, but it only takes 1 to notice it, and for him to push the lynch on you (like suki did)
