Night 6 and Epilogue

10 August 2015
Dunsborough, Western Australia

Our party managed to make it through the Outback and through to Western Australia to observe more wildlife. The government had mobilised forces into the Outback to quell the poachers and we managed to reach Western Australia after a long drive through the Outback.

As for me, once we reached Western Australia, I had a little too much fun feeding the stingrays.

"Welp," replied Tictock, "we're here and we're in one piece."

Our guide for the day smiled as he took us into another boat.

"This area is way more peaceful now that we've flushed the poachers out. The seas for one are more safe and less crowded. Although I'm not sure how they are doing inland."

About an hour later, we observed up close a slew of sea lions.

"Haven't seen these in a while, not this season." remarked the guide.

"Probably flushing out the poachers has a lot to do with it." I replied with a smile. "When was the last time?"

"Definitely not this summer."

"Which means it might be a good time to go fishing," replied Ver. "Anyone know if they lifted the fishing restrictions?"

"Not sure, but either way I think we don't have to worry about safety for once."

ObiWanShinobi, another rogue hunter (Mafia Vanilla), had been driven from the Outback!

Onegu, as DarthPunk (Named Town)
rsoultin, of the Anangu (Town Vanilla)

...are both enjoying their lives in peace.

The Mafia have been defeated...

Town Victory!

Lake Mungo (Observer QT) is here.
Kutakina Cave (Mafia QT) is here.
Role and Action List is here.

I would like to thank everyone for playing and congratulations to the town on their victory.
Cheers Fidei and Tictock for helping with co-hosting.

I especially want to thank Damdred and geript for offering their skills to analyse this game, and I really look forward to their writeup.

Please stick around for post-game analysis and conversation.

OWS, like I said, you gave it your all. You would have had a much better shot had it been you and scott in final two, but that wasn't to be. I'm not sure GB would have voted Onegu over you but it would have gone back and forth. It is really difficult when you lose your first two scum players and getting 3/4 mislynches is something, though I realise it's painful to fall short.

Honestly OWS should of killed Onegu since Onegu was unCCed Named VT which I think was the key for rsoultin to figure the game out.

In a final three with Rasputin, GB and OWS, I'm not sure OWS would have had any more luck, she was townreading GB.

I have to say, I wasn't sure if Onegu was really going to vote down Rasputin and afk, or if he was actually trolling, it was to the point I had a mafia victory post all readied up in case that happened as shocking as it would have been.

Night 6 and Epilogue

10 August 2015
Laverton, Western Australia

DarthPunk sighed as he finished another bottle of water with his Anangu guide. He was nearly finished his cross country drive from east to west Australia and was ready for even more R&R in Perth. He had decided to stop a little and check out the wildlife and his guide had taken him a bit around Laverton before he would head southwest towards Perth.

He and the guide were about to get back into the car when they were surrounded by poachers. His guide, who was Anangu, immediately started to panic, but DarthPunk tried to calm her down.

"Hey guys," started DarthPunk, "we're not here to cause trouble. I'm on a cross country trip, and I needed a guide to set me on the right way to Perth. I'm from Queensland, for fuck's sake."

"Why are you here with one of the natives then?" snarled one of the poachers.

"I said I needed a guide," he replied, "I'm Aussie but not from around here. And I don't belong to the feds. I don't have any involvement here."

"You didn't answer the question," the poacher retorted. "WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

"I'm on a cross country trip and I'm going to Perth." DarthPunk replied, "Not sure how many times I can say that."

Immediately one of the poachers stepped out to grab his guide. She tried to run away but was promptly seized by the poachers that surrounded her.

"Let her go!" yelled DarthPunk.

"It's a shame you had nothing to do with anything out here, but unfortunately you were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

rsoultin, of the Anangu (Town Vanilla), was shot by the poachers!

Onegu, as DarthPunk (Named Town) was unable to escape the poachers.

ObiWanShinobi, a rogue hunter (Mafia Vanilla), continues to pilfer the Outback!

The Town have been defeated...

Mafia Victory!

the scott lynch was hysterically bad

I think that was the general consensus in the observer QT - I can see why those who weighted his behaviour more heavily (as opposed to balance argument) voted him down, but the ones that took very much setup speculation into mind and then still voted him down (Rasputin I <3 you lady, but I'm really looking at you here) I don't understand why you'd say "ah can't be any godfather" you know how I do my setups, you said framer/miller/gf was not balanced and then you think Scott might be mafia, make a quip on the DT goofing up his check and then if you think Scott is mafia you imply he's godfather.

So that was one thing that I was really scratching my head on, because I pulled out a bunch of quotes at length and you really went into setup discussion to the point that you shouldn't have ever voted Scott. I just didn't understand your train of thought on that one.

Ah, you had ninjaed me there. It makes sense if you wanted to think Onegu might have fakeclaimed and he'd have gotten lynched I suppose. I know Scott made a few posts about his IRL availability or lack thereof, but at that point it might have been too little too late for him.

That was another thing, on one hand Palmar hammered Slam with two seconds until EoD, but Slam being forced to AFK for real life reasons (he had exams) I mean I went back to where he said he had to afk and if I were town and had final exams I would have just stated as such. I don't know. Then again, I have to go back and check to see how much of that push was because of Clarity's gameplay or if it was because of Slam's actual entrance. I know the latter's entrance was NOT great even with a legit RL reason.

Role/action list updated FWIW.

If anyone has any feedback about the game setup/post-restriction or anything else they want to mention regarding my approach to this game give me a shout. I'm always looking to improve my hosting and I do care about the experience people have playing my games.

I do appreciate everyone staying mostly civil this game, it got a little heated I think D2/N2 but for the most part everyone was cool, and I appreciate that.

I felt looking at Ver's/Palmar's post restrictions and my last Down Under game, 4 pages for m13 per 72 hours I felt was relatively fair, and Ver's idea of max 10 post donations seemed a great way to give some flexibility in the event someone found themselves getting wagoned, etc. I know for Down Under 2, someone mentioned 20 posts for the night phase was too little so giving some flexibility between day and night should have hopefully solved that problem.

I think we had about 6-7 postcount warnings (which is what I would have expected with the given player roster) and there was one day that Snickers reached 118/118 posts after 4 waves of donations but everyone seemed conscious of where they were at even when filters went down with the upgrade.

Also there were some questions regarding setup. I personally wanted a slightly reduced emphasis on roles, which is why I only gave two blue roles and went for a simple DT v framer deal, which gives town 4 mislynches to lose no matter what.

Maybe I should have swapped the named town for a 1-shot something, I've not seen such a role in an m13.

Finally there was questioning regarding the replacement for Clarity. For what I have gathered and based on conversations I've had with other veteran hosts, Night 2 is the latest people will get replaced. That to me would appear relatively standard across the board.

I believe one individual mentioned he didn't like how late in the cycle a replacement could happen and this I know had not come up in those conversations, I believe Clarity was officially replaced out with about 4-5h left. I know I wouldn't have replaced out with less than 2 hours though, but at the time I did feel 4-5h was ample enough time.

I agree with this tho. Not that it was game changeable, but it sounds better.

Fair enough. I thought of some of the replacement situations I've encountered on TL going into this decision, but I'm thinking going forward (this in from BH) 12 hours might be a better cutoff on whether to throw the replacement in or wait until the next phase. I was worried waiting until the next phase without Clarity voting might modconfirm him (he could in theory be warned for failure to vote per my rules) but I've been since told how to get around that without affecting how people perceive the player in question.

I know LoneMeow replaced a newbie out for Holyflare like maybe 2 hours prior to the daypost and he was NKed instantly so I knew I'd never replace that close to the deadline, but at least I have a better sense of what timeframe makes sense.
