I actually stopped checking this after I died, but some post-game thoughts from me.

I thought the game was too scumsided. Town had no bussiness winning this ever, I'd even say the ammount of mistakes town made, at least during the day, shouldn't be enough to take the town to a loss, because in a lot of moments they were going in the right direction. I think there were 4 big factors in it, other ones are just swingy mechanics which can end up going either way.

-The fact that this was a multiball set up with a cult makes thing awfully hard for town. Even if you are good at clearing villagers, the moment you are aware there's a cult going on, those clears can go to waste easily because you can't really trust in anyone you've trusted before, even if they were blindly obvious townies.

-Generally speaking, town lynch power is sacred to me. Losing that is usually never a positive game mechanic. I felt bad for town at days 2 and 3 where town collectively lost their lynch power, either because it ended up randomly in the hands of one player, or because scum just took it away.

- Scum having two night kills. Self explanatory.I'd had traded the KP in it's entirely for some more interesting choices for scum to make in the night.

- Josh converting himself to scum. If one scum is worth 3 villagers roughly, then Josh adding himself to our lines is like us getting to kill 3 villagers for free. And the "for free" part is the one that's a big deal, because most of the times, when players use their abilities, they should get /rewarded/ for making good choices and /punished/ for making bad ones. But we got a big reward without us doing anything, we basically hit the jackpot without buying the lottery ticket, lol.

Sorry if this comes as somewhat pedantic or whatever, I think of myself as a host first and a player second, and I really enjoy talking and giving my input about game balance/design. I think Boc did a fine job hosting and I thank him for the game.

When it comes to the actual game, I enjoyed playing scum for a change. Thanks/congrats to my team for winning this, in particular to Seb/Josh who both had really solid performances and were a pleasure to work with. Sorry if I slacked, I figured that I couldn't really affect the outcomes of any lynches and with 2kp per night and so many scum members losing would've been hard.

Idk if I would play another game here (my guess is yes but not for some time), there are some stuff I don't really enjoy playing with (Alignment changes, third parties such as SK's or cults, too much kp, swingy stuff in general, etc.) but I think I'd really enjoy hosting here sometime, there has been some stuff done in our forums that you would really enjoy.
