Town mvp.... or something.

Dowolf is a shit.

Great game death.

What was the RB story? Dumb luck that kept working?


As earlier mentioned, we continued to RB you because of your reaction to Scare. You wanted him to explain the RB super clearly. It obvious to us you knew you were RBed. So we kept RBing you.

But no you're not the town MVP. In fact this above was one of your many misplays as town. Your reads were correct, although occasionally for the wrong reasons. But your play as town was pretty bad. First it doesn't make sense for Scare to fake being RBed as scum. But even if you think you have him caught in a lie, you revealed you were power by focusing on the RB part. And worse you did it by giving us more info and not giving any to town. Farther, your too early confidence that Scept was cleared (which he shared) and your arrogance at the end of the game didn't let anyone follow you.

Specifically in the end game, instead of acting like you were confirmed with your RB claim, there were plausible ways you could've been faking. In fact acknowledging these and pointing out the flaws of those arguments would've been really nice. But you might've lost everyone when you had the idea to kill scept who was confirmed after VI's death.

No, the MVP was Plum.

Makes me think both Pez is scum and death and Red are scum

Such an odd kill


This was right on. But more than just that, he soft claimed very well and it's too bad that Phoenix missed it. When he asked Phoenix those questions, I thought maybe Plum was Prosty and bread crumbing it. Then when Scept talked about being slept with and no one claimed prosty. It could've easily been Plum. Plum of course knew it was Phoenix. And he didn't point it out. Phoenix had no need to claim. We would've had to debate between Phoenix and Plum. We were pretty sure that it was Phoenix based Phoenix's response to Plum's question. But that was somewhat in doubt because we didn't think Plum was scanner. We thought he was either Prosty or slept with. But being slept with didn't quite make sense because Plum said he would've slept with KBM N1. So how did Plum know? We never answered that question because Phoenix answered who was Prosty.

This wasn't the only good thing Plum did. I actually wanted to kill him earlier because he was the most competent town. There just wasn't an earlier opportunity except N1 and he wasn't the threat then.

nah, no killing was never the correct play.

but w/e. scum made bad plays, got rewarded. It happens. I stopped caring about this game a week ago, so...


In hindsight, yeah you're right. But we didn't like how easily any lynch could have occurred with just 3. But yeah the best plan would've been to take advantage of Death's time difference. Kill Gravy and let you vote SBell. Death's time difference would allow him to hammer possibly. But you were fairly competent most of the game. You were wrong sometimes, but hardly ever on the wrong lynch end of day.

We thought with how messed up town had been all game we'd NK and let town implode.

No, we thought you were BG or Jack. We knew N2 when we blocked you that you were power.

@dowolf

Part of why blocking and killing KBM wasn't as bad as you think it was is because we knew SBell was power. So, we knew that the percentages were tipped toward us. SBell could've been the second protection or the second scanner. If he's a scanner, we prevent him getting information instead of KBM. If he's protection we block him and KBM dies.

Didn't read most of the game after I died. But damn, Death's scum game is much better than I thought. Pez just fooled me. In the beginning of day 2 I knew VI was scum because he made a post that argued activity as opposed to scumminess. Also thought red and moltar were scummy beginning of day 2, but that was partially based off the fact that I thought pez was town. Not going to ignore roommate powers anymore :P

I have to apologize to KBM because when I went back and reread, she actually did post significant content on the first page of the third topic. Guess which page I didn't read because I was under heavy fire from town? Most of your content before that was very fluffy and lurky so that's why I was pretty harsh in my statements regarding you during my meltdown. So I'm sorry.

But I digress.

Town's wincon is to eliminate all threats to town. If scum doesn't shoot, they're not a threat to town. You don't like that, change town's wincon.


um no because they can still shoot if they want. That's like saying a guy driving drunk isn't a threat to other drivers if he hasn't hit anyone yet

I kind of think this quote shows it. But maybe it just sounds that way because it's online.

Maybe it was just the way it came across to me. There was a time when you were arguing Scept as confirmed town when he wasn't quite confirmed. Then your actions with 6 left and 4 left (the first NL) came across as I'm the only one who's been right.

Another way I'd describe it is being unable or unwilling to understand the other person's argument. Maybe you could replace the word understand with interact with.

The war kept going with Prince Akihito named as the new emperor. People quickly got tired of the war and decided to turn on the Shogunate, blaming them for dragging it out and their influence quickly faded as citizens began to doubt their control. Kondo Isami was killed and the Shinsengumi crumbled.

SBell has been lynched! He was Kondo Isami, TOWN Bodyguard!

With the Shinsengumi gone, the shogunate lost hope and gave up, surrendering quickly and turning over power to the new emperor.

Death is now the Emperor! He is Komatsu Akihiko, new ruler of Japan!

Congratulations on becoming Emperor Death!

Well yes, looking back there is the hindsight that scare was town. But at that moment in not knowing he's town it still made sense. I was still on the fence with scare. I felt forcing scum to reveal someone else sat better.

I'll accept that it is an unconventional play and possibly a bad one but making scum do your bidding has a benefit some where.

I think I already proved why lynching me could not possibly be correct.

If you lynch me and scum shoots someone who we don't know alignment, we lose one known town and one unknown.

If you lynch anyone else and scum shoots me, we lose one known town and one unknown.

But, scum will shoot the person who is most dangerous to them, whereas we can lynch the person who is most suspicious to us. So the first unknown is less valuable dead than the second.

In addition, the first option has a 0% chance of ending the game immediately.

Also, figuring out how to improve my own play is going to be on my mind in the future. I only played okay this game at best, I had one good day and a bunch of bad days. I did play decently D3 to escape my own lynch and escape the gravy lynch at the last second, and also try to go after VI that day. But I tunneled on dowolf too long and never took a real look at death. Not really great.

I kinda feel like I cost town the game in a sense by outting and not going after Death harder :/


I don't think you claiming really mattered. Once scum knew there was a prosty, they would have probably settled on you when you told plum you would have targeted me. And if I don't reveal that, I assume I get lynched. It shouldn't have been very hard.
