I'd been out of mafia for a few years before I joined this site, and this was the first game I've played where it actually affected me. I wouldn't say I dislike it, but it was a rude awakening for me based on the circumstances. You can especially tell that I wanted to say everything I knew.
Barbara and I discussed A LOT in our chat room. Barbara probably posted more in there than the actual game thread, lol. But before I had a chance to decide what to do next after lynching Mary, I was killed.
We originally thought about Barbara making the cases against players since she was indestructible, but my availability in real life was better than hers, which was another of our unfortunate circumstances. If we could have had an invincible player just picking off the Death Eaters left and right, you wouldn't have stood a chance.

I won't try to lecture you on how I think is the best way to utilize the info you gain from an info role. Your accuracy at finding baddies was remarkable, and you could be quite convincing with your reasonableness. But you played 100% exactly like I'd expect someone to play when they have info that they aren't allowed to dump. We heavily suspected that you were Hermione when you went after Mary and it was confirmed when you tried to use the same tactics against Karin. It was obvious to me that you hadn't read the thread from between your death and your rez, so I knew you had nothing concrete on Karin. Once you demonstrated that you, in fact, had no case, I was able to go to work discrediting your intel.
The question wasn't whether or not you had info on Karin, because I think everybody knew that's what you were trying to imply, it was hard to miss. The question was whether your info was credible or not. The way you played actually made it EASIER for us to discredit you.
I still thought it was a longshot and knew that if the Karin lynch went through (and it nearly did), I would be next on the chopping block. Our whole team would have been decimated before long. But the fact that Epi/Alizon trusted Elo/Karin really helped us here and they both deserve a ton of credit for how that played out
And the Resurrection Stone event allowed me to plant some doubt about your alignment post-rez. All we needed to do was convince Alizon and Katharina, and then we were able to get people to ignore you while we continued to run the lynches.
You were in a tight spot. Against a lesser group of evildoers, you probably would have succeeded. But we had no intention of going quietly.
I checked you out because your relations with Mary struck me as odd. Turns out that suspicion was spot on. But you were easily the hardest between you and Karin to make a case. Everyone seemed convinced that you were good, so I thought my only chance was to get Karin lynched. I will give my kudos to Karin (Elo). Even though llama played a great game as Voldemort, I do believe that if Karin had slipped up in the final couple days, than I could have had her and Jane lynched and things would have gotten much, much tighter.
