Hall of Fame

*Curtis was the Town MVP obviously! He had scum pegged. One post in particular was pretty amazing. Caused mafia to lose their breath for a second. He had narrowed down Lamps/Herm/Christian/Brian as "leftovers" when sorting who was town and who was not. All the leftovers that he was suspicious of was the entire scum team. He had some noteworthy strategic moves that helped him secure what seemed like an impossible win. His idea to lynch whichever person of Herm/Zersch/Brian that was not claiming serial killer worked perfectly. Another good strategy was confusing Herm on Day 9 into admitting he was the finalmafia rather than the Serial Killer.

*Spider had a great first game. She could have gone with either the mafia or town and she stuck with the harder win condition and came out on top. (Siding with mafia would have been an easier win for her in the last two days) Her smartest move was leaving out the fact her role could not save her from kills. This led both the Mafia and the SK's to not really consider her as they thought it would be deflected elsewhere.

*Zersch almost won as a serial killer which is so hard to do. He took some daring and fun risks claiming mafia and then claiming his actual serial killer role at times where it made sense. He made kills that made sense for himself, all except the final day where he had to roll the dice.

*Buffy was extremely active and appreciated by me throughout. Though she had some bad reads here and there (Ahoda paranoia) she was generally on track with her scum reads and was a strong force for the town throughout. Surprised me how long she survived. I attribute it to her keeping her mason team underwraps for so long. The decision to teleport Jamie and Curtis were great choices.

*Maddie was also taken out way before her time and unrelated to how she played the game. She was actually becoming a great vig for the town in my opinion. She took out scum Timmah and attempted to take out scum Lamps her final night alive. She had also expressed doubts of Christian during her night deliberations. She was on a roll and only got killed because Mafia inaccurately thought she had attacked Lamps. She just so happened to come guns blazing for him in the day thread because she thought he was scum. Mafia assumed she had struck him the night before when it was actually Zersch and that led them to think she was a killer. Just bad luck for her and town in that circumstance.

*Nav surviving those lynches as long as he did was such a fun story and his arguments to stay alive were plausible enough to keep sparing him. He just had a rough ordeal when he had claimed his role too early and couldn't prove it because he lost his abilities.

*A few more shoutouts to people who used their roles well: Primate picked every town move he should have used and did. He was able to help show town that Nav was a Serial Killer and that he had survived his attack. Jackie also helped put a target on Timmah with her role. Brian lynching himself and shouting out who Zersch should kill was also a good move for the mafia, despite it not working in the long run.

*Herm and Christian were the stars of the mafia. Herm had so many fake claims prepared to help the mafia. While his weak cop role was not the strongest, there was an air of truth to a role like that existing. Caused some doubt in some town members. Him claiming Serial Killer was also a necessity to mafia having a chance. Christian had a messy and confusing final day but in general seemed like the leader of the mafia team throughout the first half of the game.

*Mason team in general had a strong team and discussion going. (Curtis/Buffy/Jamie)




Hall of Lame

*Mafia team in general had weak claims and a low activity. (Lamps with Survivor claim and im317 with universal back up) Rose posting once and getting lynched day 1. Lamps hiding all day long to not get lynched. (This actually worked and Helios got lynched instead. I like that Lamps made a comment about how sad of a reality that was where someone like Helios got lynched because he was there fighting and claiming his role while someone could just not be there and survive)

*Brian not helping mafia all game long and only logging on the board after Christian had died.

*Some of the Mafia's decisions were questionable. The group acknowledged Curtis was a popular night 1 target yet still sent Timmah to scan him. (And he got caught and this eventually cleared Curtis) The decision to use the unstoppable kill on Maddie did not seem necessary. They didn't need that unstoppable kill on her and could have killed her that night or the next if it didn't work. They had knowledge that Curtis had a tricky escape role yet opted to leave him with it. (Causing them problems late game)

*Ahoda's second votes in general just seemed to be used to cause annoyance rather than be used for good town gameplay.

*Kat telling the group she wouldn't mind being the one Helios take down with him because she felt useless to the town. (If that happened that was beneficial to them in no way)

*Josh putting himself on the Helios train when Helios was already going. Town Doctor did not need to get taken out by another Town role.

*Jamie giving Nav Merc's cure. The mason team pushed Jamie to give it to Brian which was the smartest move for town. (Imagine Brian's role had saved him when it did? Town wouldn't have won. They are lucky it didn't) But Nav had been annoying Jamie all game long that Jamie gave it to Nav as a fuck you personal decision. In the end Nav receiving that package actually helped his gameplay because now he had an excuse to say he couldn't use a role he had claimed. (He had already lost it when he became a serial killer at that point)



I'm probably fogetting a lot and did this off the top of my head. If you feel I missed something share it!!!

Oh and hall of lame for Mafia trying to kill Nav? I did'nt get that. He was such a suspect for town I wasn't sure why they were killing him over say Buffy.

It was mostly a selfish decision, I'll admit. But I came back to log-in to tell Herm we should switch to Kat, since it made more sense strategically, but the day had started early. We didn't know Buffy was cleared to 3 or 4 people lol

“(Curtis/Buffy/Jamie)”

wow

I earned that HOL with dedication and perseverance

Probably deserve HoL for that but I didn't believe Helios at all. WHOOPS!

I get Jackie claiming everything so she wouldn’t get lynched, but outing me as visiting Curtis wasn’t a cut and dried great decision by her. It worked this game, but as far as she knew she’d just outed a town PR to scum. The couple of people that assumed i was scum just because i visited Curtis was pretty lol too.

fun game shadow. Thanks for hosting!
