In the end, if I'd had juliets lynched today, I'd have boosted Michelle's vote tonight and won with mafia by lynching the last spark tomorrow. Town had already lost the game on Day 10 unless they managed some lucky tie shenanigans, I'm assuming jack was aware of that which is why he wouldn't go for juliets. Phooey.

Oh or this plan works too but lynching Quin would be fun

That sucks, but it could have been worse. Could have lynched Quin again.

Then town would have won
Somehow

Town essentially needed 9 lynches cause of take five (again only the second most powerful thing in the game cause Tarvek is actually broken). The Timmer lynch was on town and everyone who was left sealed their fate with that. But town messes up a day 1 lynch and oh well what are they gonna do about it. And I can’t defend the creature lynch per se but I don’t necessarily think it can be called a mistake. That said I think this game was generally as well balanced as it could have been given the constraint set (4 indies) in that it was equally swingy. And it was really fun to play. I think the best way to balance for full game would be to remove Zola and mess around a bit with the mafia power set and tarvek but I’m not sure and obviously the way that the game went gives me some bias there.

Good game to the scum team, as much as we complained about skating you guys really were pretty active parts of the thread and Town was just being lazy.

Yeah. I assumed we were playing an ugly game of chicken where we lose if we vote Juliets, you lose if you vote Michelle and everyone loses if nobody moves.

To be honest, at first I was considering voting Michelle just giving you the win, mainly because I'd subbed in more or less when the game was already solved (and Quin 1.0 was townie, I guess). But I figured that wasn't fair to DDL and the role he designed, so I went with the juliets lynch to try pull it off.

I thank you for playing your role to the best of your ability, even though you had an unlucky situation to face (most sparks survived longer than they should have).

Seeing TSP dead last night instead of Dom or Jack was the biggest surprise I've gotten from a NK. That needed to get shut down days ago.

Flip side:
If Jack or Dom dies you can side with town and easily win. It's simple logic from scum to kill me that day even if you're scared of other roles.

Yeah, it was a fun game, it did what it set out to do, there's some fairness to "town lost cause town made mistakes" and also some fairness to "the setup didn't allow room for as many mistakes as it should have". It's kinda up to views on how many mistakes town can be allowed to make or moreover if a game goes mostly even who is allowed the victory (if town and mafia play at the same rate).
