No, he just didn't know who it was because it is me who knows that and I didn't tell him.

Yes maybe he tracked slam and slam got bussed with ls so saw everyone that visited ls aka kita/sep/xfire contains mafia aka jat and xfire are still mafia.

Lynch me to confirm

DAMDRED.

If you are really 3p you exit the game today. If you do this I will believe what you are saying because I don't think you would work against town in this situation. If you do not exit the game you are probably mafia and lying about your nightactions.

I'd like to know why all of night 1 revolved around koshi and JAT

But yea I will be talking about this game and the Aperture series/Hosting themed games in general on the next mafia podcast. So please leave any thoughts here. I am particuarly interesting in things that you found confusing about your role or things that you thought were really cool about the interactions. I would also like to know if there was a mechanic in your role that you found to not be fun to use.

Another thing I want input on is in trhead notification. In chrono trigger and Aperture 1 there was a lot of notification in the thread if an ability was used (such as learning when a yugioh card is played or a pokemon dies), as well as a lot of ##Command abilities. Do you guys find that you wanted these?

Fair enough, but you'll have to come up with an alternative hypothesis for why a good number of townies from various walks of life (Rso or VE or Slam who could have won with town for example) would townread you but also inexplicably not want to work with you and/or follow your plans. You're an intelligent player, so it's not that they think you're dumb; I believe it's an issue of personal animus.

Rso DID work with me and told me everything she knew so you can take her off the list. VE did not work with ANYONE so you can take him off the list. Slam was not town and also not working with anyone so you can take him off the list.

Slam really trashed town's chances of winning the game. I think BH would have been lynched day one if he hadn't claimed and day two VA was essentially the unanimous lynch.

I'm not sure if town actually was capable of lynching batsnacks on day four, but we should have. HF was just being so obnoxious that he was able to get under everyone's skin to a point where most of the town was sick of it. I shouldn't have let him get to me, but I was tired of the flaming from a player who honestly didn't seem to have a purpose for doing so. I kinda question how he played things out considering how easy it would have been to just claim Moriarty and have BH lynched early on in the game.

I know that this has been brought up a ton in the past, but there really isn't a good reason for JAT or HF to have a combined 100 page filter. Discussing things is fine, but a lot of the posts really didn't accomplish anything. I don't mean to attack JAT because he was a good town leader, but when you have a limited amount of time to play each day, it just demotivates you. Even I found myself spamming more than usual this game.

On a side note, I was finding so many breadcrumbs that simply didn't exist. At one point I PM'd rsoul a riddle thinking she was the riddler and HTS a random phrase thinking she was Robin. I was also really paranoid that damdred had to kill me as deadshot XD

I think my reads were fairly decent this game, which I'm only bringing up because of how miserable I have been in my past couple town games. I've seriously been pushing mislynch after mislynch for the last year or so. It's really been a while since I've been able to be fairly right. I almost never have any luck with meta so coming up with the d1 BH post was kinda surprising. I really should have pushed it later in on the game, but the 3P Moriarty threw things off. I was 3/3 on my scum list post with bats, sep, and VA, but I did a pretty poor job pushing things in the thread. It was just so tough to find a good time to do so, on D2 we have the day ending early, D3 we have the easy damdred lynch, and by D4 the game was close to over. I also think I had could have done a better idea of sharing my thoughts more often, rather than sending out PMs.

For me, I found it pretty frustrating how often people were calling me mafia based on some type of paranoia read. I haven't rolled mafia since March 2013, yet I always seem to have trouble getting people to trust me. I'm sure there are others that are probably better at mafia than town that deal with the same thing. It's just annoying to be told that you're mafia because you're still alive when there really that is out of your control for the most part.

Night actions seem to go pretty poorly. That was pretty unfortunate.

On the topic of role claims, there are two sides of this. One, a lot of the mafia team was figured out essentially to process of elimination for who hadn't claimed. On the other hand, it was way too easy for mafia to figure things out. I think you have to find a line in between for what is useful to share. A lot of people just sent me their role as soon as I asked on N1, which was pretty silly. If I had been mafia, I would probably have access to all but VE/yamato/xfire or something like that.

I enjoyed the flavor of my role with the whole witnessing my parents death thing, but I got a bit unlucky picking 3p HF day 1 and then day two ended before I could submit LS. On day three I made a mistake not going with JAT or keir. I was under the impression that yamato would save JAT, but obviously that wasn't the case.

There were some really cool roles this game. I enjoyed the setup, even if it seemed apparent that town didn't have much of a fighting chance for most of the game.
