i knew i should have stuck to the overly formal speech patterns i used on night 1 and 2 :[

'It's your homeboi K2 here' (aka your first sentence) comes from nobody but Kylemii

then why the whole theory about it being wilgy, huh!?

I never said I thought it was Wilgy. I just wanted to see other people discredit the theory for the sake of thoroughness

suuuuuuure.

this was also a pretty big clue that you weren't k2.

Is that how you think I talk normally? x_x I was trying to emulate the typical over-the-top YouTuber.

Everything turned out okay because you guys found the mafia really fast but if this game had given a different direction I would have died because I wasn't careful enough. x_x

at first i thought that introduction came from jay.

Before this game I vowed to climb whichever mountain I ended up rolling at some point in my life.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 4:11 am I set out from the beginning to use my role as a means to advise the thread and direct people's attention without tipping the mafia off to who I was, and I pretty much did the opposite of that.

The Scooby Doo script message was because I kinda..... stopped caring at that point. It seemed like we were going to win no matter what happened and Marmot told me at the beginning of the game that my messages could be as long as I wanted as long as they don't hit post limits. I wasn't sure a full length movie script would fit.

In a way I didn't really have a choice but to post the entirety of the dialogue from Scooby Doo: Where Are You season 2 episode 7 on Night 8; it was out of my hands.

that was probably my favorite thing about this game tbh

We were incredibly unlucky on top of that. We had the thread primed to start with two mislynches. They both failed, and the victims became confirmed townies instead. We killed both Sloonei and Epignosis before they could lead my destruction -- they both lived. We killed dunya before she could carry out her slaughter -- she lived.

the hardcore bussing strategy kept us off the scent for a while. it would have been effective if any of us died at any point.

I don't want this to sound critical of Marmot in any way becauase it's not. Just an observation I made this game and a note about personal preference. The reason I felt confident Malakim was town was actually this post:It wasn't just that he was confused about the nightkill mechanics, but also that he got a response from the host in the thread. It suggested to me that malakim's ignorance of the nightkill mechanics was genuine and that he had no hand in carrying them out, or else Marmot wouldn't have been compelled to respond here. It's a tiny thing, but any host interaction has the potential to reveal information. This one gave me a hint about a player's role that I should not have had.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 2:44 pm That's why as a host I generally ask that questions be delivered privately. I understand that it's a bit party pooper though and don't judge other hosts for doing their thing.

I prefer this approach when I host too. I tend to be a silent host. Just the crucial updates and end-of-phase posts, and maybe a few off-topic shenanigans per game. But everyone who runs a game should run it in their own way.

I feel like I did alright, especially considering how focus on me supatown Sloonei was.

I'm really sorry

It happens. Not upset or anything, although I admit it was a little relief to be lynched and not worry anymore.

I was also a bit relieved to be able to move on from suspecting you. I could not get past it no matter how hard I tried. But mostly I just felt like a big jerk.

Kylemii wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2017 12:33 am i agree day 1's no lynch tie ruling was a safety net we probably didn't need, but the day 2 lynch was a calculated risk taken by the mayor role, i think that one was fair.

I think in general, roles whose only purpose is to be guaranteed to be harder to kill at night should be limited to like... maybe 1 per game, depending on how many other roles can fuck with the kills.

I think what epi's point is is that there were more opportunities for town roles to make a play like the one I did on Day 2 than there perhaps should have been. I faced some pressure on Day 2 and had no reason to worry about the consequences, then I was relatively unquestioned as town for the rest of the game. Essentially the same thing happened with nutella on Day 1.

I guess that didn't happen! However, I am pleased to see town was still able to get through it. Congrats

I hope we didn't scare you off with the volume. This game was a bit extreme even by our standards. we're always a little intense, but not usually like this.

I got to climb to the highest peak in Massachusetts earlier this year. It was neat. Not impressively high (3491 feet/1064 m), but a cool experience. This was my view: I've also peaked Mt. washington, the highest point in New England (6148 feet/1917 m), three times now. That's a bigger hike. Mountains are cool.
