The Good
-- The winners. Congrats to them. boo dupes everyone again with strong gameplay and taking command over the dynamic, no surprise there after Death Note.
-- This game. Amazing in its challenge and results, overall.
-- The Hostesses. Great in every way and terrific to have around. Plus, I understand they said something about, except a runner-up competition from DrWilgy, me being their favourite player with whom they had contact...? That's gotta be a reward in itself.
-- Surviving a phase as an outed seemer. Going from certain kill to NO votes taken. Nothing else worked out for us, but this has to feel good. Also, you should have seen Golden and JJJ constantly ready to buss me, only to congratulate me at the end of that Day for the bewildering result.
-- The irony of me playing Golden and Golden playing me and being together on the same team. Hostesses say it was purely random, but I ain't buying it.
-- Speaking of, at least Golden didn't win.
-- Oh, at least MM didn't win either.
-- The team that was there. Eloh and BR, it had a great time playing with you. As for my trio with Golden and JJJ, let us meet again and make it work next time, gentlemen.
-- My teammates not figuring out who I was, except for Black Rock ("Scotty"), but she spotted me dun goofing in a Chat she created in Recruitement, probably. And perhaps boo? Idk, I dun goofed in Gladiators twice as well.
-- Not being figured out by anyone else, either... he says in his wishful thinking...
-- My sock. I literally freaked out when I was delegated to play Golden, because of time issues and not being prepared one bit to adopt his persona. But until I had to start adopting other socks as well (see slightly below) or just lose grip on it (late in my game), I tried to emulate him as best as possible. Of course I collected as much meta as possible - I'll just copy some of it here
The Bad
-- That I lost, of course. In fact, I'm now 0/2 in the last three games I plan to play. I only have Talking Heads left.
-- The team constantly getting rekt by the recruit killer. And then the blocker, cop and so forth. Oh well.
-- Golden's lamenting in BTSC. Not to mention, his predictions coming true, as well.
-- The outbursts in the game. Let's not ever go back there again.
-- The seemer. F this role. I handled it as best as I could, without any experience (obviously I wasn't that mad to go search for TGG's Crazy Clown meta from two freaking months ago, so at that point I basically conceded), but me no likey.
-- The mafia slackers. I'm sorry, but we were seven. SEVEN. And in the end, after "LC" (Eloh) died, it felt like we were only three. And then we were just three. And then... And then... BR I can understand, since she couldn't balance hosting and playing, but we also lost "Wilgy", who had become a second seemer and "Blooper" as a protector. I think BR said in BTSC that Bass is a beast to have as teammate, but sorry, I didn't see any of this. And Lacey, as far as I understand, was the only player who was delegated mafia because she asked or stated such preferenced. Disappointing.
-- Losing the Day-whatever-it-was challenge (the video one). I've talked to the Hosts and I apologise for bringing it up, but the way I still see it, I lost to bias and it also happened to drive the mafia's game into near ruin (TGG flipping as the real player and tracker and thus sending me to the grave, etc.) The seemer story / possibility was in the open already, "rey"/TH himself suspected me all along, so losing after two days of efforts to "MM" cracking a llama (oh the irony!) vid joke was desolating and felt rigged. I don't know if this is true, but this is how it feels. If your choice was genuine and unbiased, TH, then you still broke my heart. It stands for me as a glitch in the Challenger's role design, which is why I think that normally the decider should be third party. Since TH already had info (and suss) on me, compared to the first challenge (which I won), I regard this second challenge as having had no chance to earn his sympathy anymore. All in the past, but just want to share this, for future reflection on how to let players be the judge of others, especially if dynamic and perception can change.
-- Losing my shit on D7 and using the Day end, although we discussed in private that, should things go south, we'll preserve it. But nope - after we lost "Scotty"/BR on D6, the recruit killed "SVS"/JJJ and I suddenly saw red in front of my eyes. I even did a terrible move voting/lynching "rey"/TH, whom we blocked that Night, trying to figure out if he's the killer. It wouldn't have made any sense to push that lynch anymore, since the kill went through. Anyway, dumb and costly and it was 98% over afterwards for us. Props to the real, worthy Golden toughing it out a few more Days.
-- Unanimously lynched, oops.
I'm sure there's more, but I'm too tired right now.
