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?

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.
