1. Son!c-I think I understand now what you were getting at with your playstyle but it was a bit too distracting at times. We spent a good deal of time day 2 arguing about a player that could not he lynched when we should have been scum hunting and most of your theories especially early were inaccurate. Your calmer play on Day 4 and 5 worked much better ultimately. I'm sure you'll say that your wilder behavior the first 3 days was necessary to get to that point but were also probably lucky more people didn't listen to you as we would have lynched Loose, forced early claims from our Cop and Tracker, lynched me and rushed the lynch on Bax Day 4. That said, we would have gotten Swang earlier. I still dont understand how you thought The Tick would be third party.
2. Loose-I just want to give credit to Loose for being the first one to pin Swang. That said, the claim trades and asking the cop to announce themselves were both horrible ideas.
3. Traffic, Darin and Swang-Poor role claims hurt you. If Traffic had claimed American Maid with a believable role then he'd possibly have lived. I don't know if the full claim of Vote Thief from Swang would have saved him with the blocked action but it would have made sense with Mayor Blank. Darin could have probably claimed any remotely believable role and with a name claim as strong as Arthur might have survived to end game.
4. I think this is the first time in a while town has had a game where no yown was lynched. Pepe did vig Loose but that was ultimately probably for the best as Loose probably would have continued to be a distraction day 3.
5. Pepe and Charle-Well played to you both. I'm sure i could think of notes but it doesn't seem necessary.
6. Extreme-Id say next time you're cop, don't hint at an investigative ability so hard.
7. Me-im mostly happy with my play. I probably was feeling guilty about Elementary and gave Darin too much leeway with his play but I think I was always going to believe the Arthur claim. I also let annoyance dictate my actions a bit. That said, I did feel like ultimately I was right more than I was wrong and with the exception of Darin who got lynched in the end before my promised vote, I was on the right side of every lynch and I don't know if Traffic would get lynched Day 4 without me, Rag and Traf sticking to our conviction not to rush the Bax lynch. Kind of wish I could have stuck to my verbose heroisms from day 1. That was fun but I started worrying that someone would think I was softclaiming the Tick and out themselves as The Tick to counter a non-claim.
This was my first mafia game ever. And my character had zero powers except being invulnerable if the Fliedermause signal was lit. So i decided to make the most of it - fliedering arround - knowing getting people to talk always works best to catch them on contradictions.
Yes it could backfire but i was counting on the fact i would always be able to explain my actions if needed.
I also said it was never about the theories but about the reaction it would trigger. Getting suspects to talk always works.
And first time is first time. Second time will be second time
