Short and sweet, as I'm pretty busy at work this week (end of semester is always busy). I'm sure I missed/forgot something, which I'm sure you'll all let me know in the comments to follow...

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

HOF
1. Merc - While he never made use of his role, his winning of the duel on N3, selecting the box with the 1x doctor save, then choosing to use it that night was epic. There was no real inkling from what I could read in the game to think he'd be a target for a kill, and I was surprised when he wanted to use it that same night, but it kept him from being killed by Farlig, putting the Martians into an even bigger hole.

2. Herm - Caroled 5 times, found town non-traveling people 5 times. That's insane. Martians never once posted any ideas that he could have been the caroler. They thought he was a governor.

4. drrr - Was visited by mafia three times in the first four nights, killing two. It was only her lack of R-P-S ability that kept that from being three kills.

7. Ahoda - A mod error basically forced him to claim (should have been double voter, not secondary anonymous voter) early. Called helios' self-silencing early in D4.

11. brian - Dueled three times (winning twice), never had the chance to use his role power, but did put enough focus on the duels themselves to keep Martians from getting into the duels. Held onto prize ticket from fight #2, which allowed him to go "top-shelf", get the daykill, and end the game about 22 hours sooner than it would have otherwise.

14. Lamps - killed too early, but in his only kill attempt got the godfather

21. Timmah - won the first duel, receiving a note action, followed Lamps to farlig's, sent that result to DS (who outed it immediately) causing suspicion to go onto farlig, then tracked Mittens to his own death N2. Essentially played a perfect game for the first 2 days - outed 1 martian and tracked another.

22. Christian - chose to hammer his lover Mittens on D3, knowing he'd die too, because it helped town (his present win condition).

Random.org - "correctly" helped town by selecting the scummiest remaining martian(s) to include in the carol list each night. It couldn't have been any worse of choices for the Martians if I had hand-picked them myself. Also selected the right prize order to really help the town out following the duels. Only thing that kept them from being game MVP was causing Curtis to lose the final duel.

HOL
5. Vern - Didn't really participate at all, and just rolled over and allowed himself to be lynched.

8. im317 - Tried to protect martians twice (40% of actions), never protected the intended kill target.

10. Angi - DNA Expert extracted DNA evidence from DS (town), Timmah (town), Vlady (martian), and two crime scenes (killers = Mittens and Farlig, both dead themselves at this point). If the game would have gone on another couple of days, may have caught a killer!

13. Darren Sanders - only for the message to start D3, where he stated im317 was a BG, only to then have im317 appear in the carol list, which almost got him lynched over the obviously scummy mittens.

19. TIB - didn't post after D1, never used his actions (which hurt martian chances)

Martian Section

Martians in general: Other than mittens, never really tried to get into the duel. They needed to do so, to prevent the town from getting the prizes, which ended up being Timmah's note (outing the attack survival of farlig), Merc's doctor of himself (lost martian kill), and brian's daykill (ending the game). I know my perspective is biased (since I know everyone's roles/alignments), but I thought they looked really scummy over the first couple of days (maddie+mittens+helios).

12. Maddie - revenge voting Ahoda at the end of D1, when he was pretty much confirmed double voter at that point put the scum target solely on her for D2, when she happened to end up in the list of names from the caroler.

17. jamie - killed by the granny N1, while trying to setup the long-con, assuming they'd be watched/tracked to drrr's place.

18. Helios - self-silenced (leading to suspicion), then before the town could lynch him, forgot about jamie dying when visiting drrr, and chose to silence her anyways. Got silenced (for good) for his forgetfulness.

20. Mittens - if he wasn't being scummy enough with his posts and voting record in the first 2 days, out of the blue, with no discussion with his fellow martians, chose to make Christian his lover on D2. If you think you are going to die, you want to pick a town member that would be hard to kill/lynch to take down with you, not an unknown person. Cost the Martians their one chance at a recruit.

Others
3. farlig - did the best he could with the group and having his survival outed D2 by Timmah/DS.

6. Curt - Neither great nor lame. Choose to self-protect twice in four nights.

9. wikey - Participated enough as a VT

15. Primate - BP claim put even more focus on farlig, but also caused him to never draw a mafia action

16. Greensday - one of my favorite roles, lynched D1, for being inactive (??), even though he had as many or more posts than 7 other people. Also, fun fact, of the 7 votes gained to be lynched, not a single one was from a Martian.

23. Vlady - only martian to even be considered for HOF, but the choice to try to roleblock drr prevented the placement there. Did roleblock town PRs each time, but in the end, none of those blocks helped the team (bodyguard, worthless doctor, message writer).

im317 @ 14/12/2016 11:50

in my defense the town i did try to protect were the DNA expert twice and the caroler once. not my fault mafia didn't take out key town role(s)

I originally had you listed in the "Other" category, but after putting it together, I decided that the HOL couldn't just be all martians and TIB. :)

Mittens @ 14/12/2016 13:51

No mention that I killed third party and vig with my 2 kills? No mention that I was 'obviously scummy' but was tied with im317 up until 20 minutes remaining in the day? Spin never changes :)

Go back and read your posts in the game thread from the first 3 days. How you lived as long as you did was the surprising factor to me. Ps)

You were tied up with im317 thanks to DS + carol names. Why do you think DS also ended up on the HOL?

Plus, you lost points in my mind by killing my Alien. :P

Angi @ 14/12/2016 14:46

That's not fair to be HOL. I didn't mess the game up or do any damage. :(

There are no participation ribbons in mafia. Some times you do well, and other times you don't. You didn't even understand your role until D3.

Darren Sanders @ 14/12/2016 22:40

Spin has obvious bias toward me. No way I should be in HOL. I was pretty much cleared as town from d1 on in most peoples eyes, outed the information timmah gave me about farlig, got in the duel and won, admittedly pretty much hipfired that journal entry on im317 but used it as a way to further clear myself and scum hunt on people that were focusing on it too much. U tripping boo

You used your role to cast suspicion on a town PR who would have been lynched if scumittens wasn't scummier. Not seeing the bias in that assessment.

Darren Sanders @ 14/12/2016 23:48

You're failing to realize that I also came to his defense and outed my role to do so.
