Well GG.

Got that load in, wasnt sure the best way to run that endgame.

Went with

Load
Defend
Shoot
Defend
Shoot

GG i shoulda shot plots before 1v1 when I was sure Damdred was Town. Didn't have time to think things through then so defaulted.

Interesting game, might have more thouhgts later.

N1 I loaded and n2 I struggled between shooting plot and ff I chose ff for idk why. And I'm curious why sulf suddenly thought I was scum for thinking he made a good post.

yeah GG, draw is kinda fitting for this game I feel.

No Damdred, the posts from Sulf is too close, he was talking about something before, that makes you in his opinion scum.

Your load on N7 kinda surprised me TT, I was supposed to be out of defends after I defended on N6, so I was sure you were gonna shoot to possibly win or pull a draw.

I kinda took part in this game to understand where pressure and the root of scumhunting comes from. And it appears as n00bking said, there is no pressure to be vocal.
Which then as it appears, voting is really the key mechanism to get people talking. And if you don't talk then you're either scum or at best disposable town.
But I don't know, maybe Sentinel can tell us whether such a game could have unfolded in a different way?
I always had the feeling people really wanted to participate and talk, but then felt "ah no, I just talk a bit less, it's fine" and this kinda spirals down and ends up making everybody mirror each other.

I'd actually sort of like this format of it was a vote in a mini day phase who could have the ability to use there canon and they couldn't be elected on consecutive day.

If there's ever a Cannons III, I'll probably add in a vote mechanic. I feel like at the least it would discourage people to lurk and there would be some more information to draw from (I tried to keep shooting mechanics hidden but then there wasn't much information to go off of in general)

Regarding the mechanic itself... I like your idea Damdy, and maybe have it the opposite instead as an alternative. So each day you vote for someone to have their cannon temporarily or permanently taken away from them. Permanent would still allow them to influence the game but mafia would have less KP under their control, giving town a bigger advantage. And of course more people will be talking so they can try to figure out who the scum is.

I like that idea would be a really good mechanic.

I thought Damdred was the last mafia because Obi said he was a good shot but didn't shoot him and FecalFeast said Damdred was scum. The post at the end was supposed to be my legacy in case I died and Damdred lived.

The frustrating thing is I think we would've won if I just immediately claimed the shot on Obi.

Yea this would be a nice idea to try. I'd hoped I could get people talking a bit more but like n00b pointed out in obs in this format there is just so little incentive for town to cooperate and communicate.

Similarly I didn't expect you to load N8, I thought for sure you would either try to shoot me for the draw or defend against one of my 2 shots

You made a good call about my bluff to shoot you earlier in the game, I was kinda suspect of you because of the sudden shift in your thinking D1 (really bad plan, to really good thinking about what mafia needed to do) but wasn't quite trusting my own read. I tried to point it out in case anyone else might pick up on it, but yea with most of town not really wanting to talk it was easy for you to look pretty towny just by discussing stuff.

Just wondering, was anyone scum reading me this game? It seems like plots was the only one to try and shoot me...
