Well....................
Congrats to the winners
Especially TH, who I thought tried to help the detectives as much as he could, and never understood why people weren't giving him more credit for it. And I knew you'd know me better than anyone.
Also, Rico did fool me. I knew that TH suspected him, but just couldn't find anything wrong with how he played, so props from me.
Daisy, I think you did very well, although every time I thought you were suspicious, I told myself that it's the travelling from here to there you kept talking about. But when you started getting really pissed at Epi, I thought you were good. So good job
DH, I hope I didn't take away the fun from your game, but if I did, I apologize.
As for me outing myself, I never planned to do it, and I went many days without saying anything, but instead, fighting as strong as I could (boo to all those who said an unlynchable civ wouldn't fight so hard), because I felt that's what I had to do, and because I thought if I did get lynched, when the baddies gained BTSC, they would know I was either Near or Mello.
But, after Epi decided Russ checked me out, and came out with the probability factor, I thought that if I get lynched, the baddies know who I am, and the civvies think that I survived it because I was a Kira, and I was worried that once L was killed, Mello would NK me. I thought it would be best to just put it out there. Ironically, it turns out Russ didn't even target me, so that's that

.
At one point I also thought llama was L, especially after how he posted on himself, and I thought he probably tried to summon me to a BTSC and failed and thought that combined with Russ' "results", would make him positive I was bad.
In my defence, I wasn't lying about starting the game not wanting to play, and doing it only because MP was really excited about my role and thought I would do really good in it (shows how much he knows :P ), and I felt I couldn't disappoint him. And then, because I was in a foul mood starting it, it got people suspicious of me and it only escalated from that point on. I admit I was really frustrated this game, and even though most of the time I thought llama and Epi were just having tunnel vision, there were times where I started doubting it, because I couldn't understand why they weren't even considering I was not bad. But I understand where Epi was coming from, and I might have done a lot of things the same. That said, Epi, I think this is something we all do, and maybe we should learn from (though I'm pretty sure neither you or me will :P ). We decide someone is guilty and then everything they say is used as evidence they are what we said they were. That's why I do use "emotions" or "intuition", because it sometimes saves me from myself. If you get a feel of the person, it might help you decide better. I never said don't use logic. I even said a few times that your cases were the best.
I still prefer you hosting me than butting heads with me :P But I really wanted to play with you because I usually play your games.
I am disappointed in Bass for the emotional manipulation he used on us. I thought his attempt at making it better the day after was not enough. We all literally didn't lynch him because we felt bad for suspecting him because he had a death in the family, and he used that by saying he wasn't here and that's why everything he wrote was BS. It doesn't even matter if he was lynchable at the time or not. he shouldn't have done it.
That said, I would do the same thing again, in terms of not posting, because I want to trust people to know where to put the line, and I think being considerate is more important than winning the game.
llama, don't beat yourself up, I think you did a very good job with some of the things, while not so good in others...We all do that most of the games. Sorry I got angry at points. I still love playing with you.
MP, I think it was a very exciting and creative game, and obviously, thoroughly planned and executed. I'm not sure these types of games are for me, because I get lost in all the mechanics, secrets and complicated roles and win conditions, and I can't keep up. Maybe it's why some people considered me bad because I was supposed to keep up with everything. I just couldn't. I have to keep a lot of information in my head in RL, and I guess I don't have enough room :P
I hope I didn't disappoint you with the way I played. It was really hard to focus on finding baddies when I had to defend myself so much
As for the mechanics, I do agree with those who said that too many unlynchable baddies is very frustrating. I get that each team could win, but even though TH tried to help the civvies, he didn't have to, which means that this was something to consider when planning. Also, other than Mello, who could only use his power after L died, or maybe Near, also when L died, the only way we could win was by lynching the baddies. So if they can't be lynched, you feel like there's no point in even trying to find them. The most important remark, in my opinion would be that we not only had to find baddies, which I think we did pretty good, by the way, we had to find the right baddie every day, and the probability of that happening was very low. I used to be a very sore loser, and even though I sometimes still take it hard, I'd like to think I've grown since I started playing mafia, and that this point of view would have been voiced by me even if I had won....though probably not :P
Still, with all the frustration, the outing and the FU, which I've never used in a game, neither as a baddie or a civ, but agree with DH, would never have said as a baddie, I enjoyed playing this game. There were twists and turns left and right, and never a dull moment, so congrats on all of that. You managed to suck me in. Thanks!!
