MVP wont go to someone who was MVP already since it is for a qualifying spot. So koshi cant get it. Must be on the winning team. Sorry DF. SL play affected who was attempted to be shot and helped saves being made. So if Koshi and DF cannot get it, who other than SL should?

Yes. They are familiar.
Read ot and imagine if there is a banana on the table and calix and rayn ars standing before it and rayns says "Well I dont know what that is but maybe it is an apple"
And calix is like:
But it is yellow, why is it an apple?
But it is long, an apple is not long..
But it isnt something round, apples are normally round.

I could make a post about why I am voting df to explain myself and potentially calm the upcoming shitstorm. But I don't know if I want to do that.

Somewhere I felt throughout the game df was clean mafia. Said it a couple times. tw and btdt were ugly townies but I actually read them more town in my gut throughout the game. Xcept when rayn and I were drilling btdt, at that point I could see btdt be mafia.

The last days btdt was also pretty aggressive playing this game. It could be he is mafia and knew he had to keep up the hard work though. I can't really differentiate.

Anyway. I feel somewhat bad about the TW lynch. Rels and Shape I was fine with.

The game itself was pretty simple. Some of the better players picked up on Calix's awkward conversations in the early game. Her disappearance made her the path of least resistance to lynch, which is a death sentence in these plurality games.

Darthfoley was obviously much harder to catch because of his "cleaner" play and the town-cred he got from bussing Calix early and hard. One of the hardest things for town to navigate around is bussing plays, and this game made me think a lot about how to identify possible bussing situations and when you should be considering them.

Town could have benefited from considering Calix's slot more, and the circumstances around her lynch. The lack of resistance around actually lynching her (sudden disappearance and long-term Day 1 inactivity) made a bussing play a lot more likely than in a normal situation. With Calix not showing up to defend herself, it makes very little sense for a mafia buddy to try to look bad defending her. Or at the very least, it makes a bussing play much much more attractive. If your partner isn't fighting and is going to go down, why put any credibility and effort into defending said partner?

Analysis in hindsight of course, but certainly worth thinking about in future games.

Odds and ends:

Overall:
Sicklucker, Rayn, Koshi, and Darthfoley all played top-notch in this game. Sicklucker deserves a special mention, because that might have been the first fake-blue-claim-as-VT I've ever seen work that well. Mafia wins this game easily if not for the two doctor saves. Props to Koshi for playing along.

A fine analysis of lylo.
