I think doc was able to protect himself but couldn't protect the same person twice in a row.

I was also so very surprised people let fusi's claim to a PR go by so easily. I wonder if a confident "I'm just a basic villager, mafia is pushing for an easy lynch on an inactive townie" would have been enough to not get lynched I was furiously DMing with strike when DDD and Dega would find out that the third roleclaim was without any actual claim to pressure into a full claim, at the very least. I also wonder if fusi felt called out by my "was expecting more activity from some people here" which I wanted to target at fusi but Traf took upon himself. It was very meta so I didn't mention anything but I expected fusi to be more active and perhaps have difficulties in acting town as scum.

I only lived a single day, but still had lots of fun and am looking forward to a next game

I do want to talk about some people's play but will start with my own. On one hand, I am glad that my instincts haven't rusted over completely. I was suspicious of both Pixar and Fusi most of the game. However, I think I got a bit gun shy after outing the cop day 1. I knew the Darin wagon seemed scummy and I knew Pixar in particular (at least before Fusi jumped on to make it L-1) seemed suspicious but I couldn't really bring a full case out of why Pixar was scummy. Some of that was Pixar playing reasonably well and not doing anything that really stood out, some of that was Darin making it difficult for me to defend him but ultimately I was hesitant to make myself the townie everyone was listening to and my case making skills are apparently pretty rusty.Rusty. I could have probably tried a bit harder to make a case of Fusi day 3 but...well...Max made it impossible to defend him.

As far as Fusi's play, I get that he was probably acting scummy intentionally to draw the cop's investigation and honestly that's not the worst strategy in a game where there's unlikely to be a vig and you have investigation immunity. I do feel like you pressed your luck a bit too much and probably should have toned it down a little bit. Asking the cop to investigate you for instance was too much.

My biggest problem was tunneling on the roles and not even thinking about the Godfather. If Dega hadn't mentioned it, I likely would have screwed town over hard. Ah well.

I want to point I weas the first that if i overthink we could have a godfather role, but I must say I was not believing we had such role as I though it was not common like cop and doc. I guess I was in the borderline all game as I was onto Fusi and he tried to get people against me luckly it didnt happen

I was pushing back so hard because I knew that it wasn't an all-vanilla game, so you were never going to convince me otherwise. I just wasn't thinking about the godfather role during our "discussion". :lol:

I know! f*ck! Lol. I really should have just focused on the 3rd claim bit and saved us the trouble and our sanity. Lmao

Pretty sure my reaction to Dega saying he got an innocent investigation on Fusi was "oh. He's probably the Godfather."

Except you were already dead by the time I investigated fusi.

/or are you saying you thought it?

Yea. I was already dead at that point. Ragian did end up telling me who scum were but that was afterwards.
