Yay! Good game guys, especially BDH for cracking the code and getting 11 items! Jesus.

I played like dogpoop this game and almost feel as though we won despite my play. So much stuff happening behind the scenes I had no idea who was who towards the end. I definitely wanted timmer dead and didn't think for a sec that Russ was bad, but the others were a crapshoot. The beginning 3 phases of this game was quite demoralizing for me, where I was one of the top vote getters for the first 3 lynches. Then replacing in to rabbit just to be under fire again for similar reasons, I was ready to walk away from the game. So yeah, this was not the most fun game for me, but I'm glad the more well-minded civs saved the day.

LoRab, you asked me to answer you in post game why I killed Russ when I did? I was having a very busy spell, thus reflecting my segmented posts and thought processes early on, so I listed the top 3 people I was suspicious of early on. I knew that the Engagement Ring could make someone die in place of someone else, and while I wanted to use it later on someone else getting lynched that seemed civ and someone that didn't, I just kept getting under fire for whatever reason. So I gave it to whom I thought in that moment looked be fishiest, and it was between Epi, INH, and Russ, none of which were on my suspect list. I was hoping it wouldn't be traced back to me if I was wrong, and I agonized til a little before deadline which I would throw to the fire, and if it had been one of the other 2 it would have been game changing. But I was wrong. Very wrong

Then the host post listed exactly what I did with terrible consequences.
Then Russ immediately switched in to another role, assuming the likeness of someone else, and (rightly so) holding a grudge against me.
I wasn't sure if I could talk about items, so whenever someone asked me about why I used my ring, I didn't want to get in trouble. Plus, I had a pretty hollow reasoning anyway that I was hoping to stay buried. Russ returning and talking about his previous life really fucked me.

Quin is this your first win??!

buddy! Welcome to the winners club!

[Elohcin]

I'm so glad I could redeem myself (after being fooled by the tricksy Epi) and still help the civs win. This was a very fun game.

[Epignosis]

I really wasn't trying to fool anybody after timmer died.

[Tangrowth]

Seriously, those riddles were tough! The only one I got was the Manhattan one, which I guessed right away, but the others I spent more than a handful of minutes and then gave up because I couldn't figure them out.

[sig]

I still think the first one should've been something to do with the Statue of Liberty.

a reminder of laughter......the answer should've had something to do with Ghostbusters. :P

Good riddles though Epi I was stumped on almost all of them.
I tried to narrow down who I thought Ying/Yang were from the riddles, but the replacements threw a wrench in my calculations. I did suspect Epi was one of them early on, but I didn't pursue it which I regret, though he did kill two cops so maybe I don't regret it. :P

Great game all around, sorry I couldn't be more active for it.

Also who were the targets of the failed night kills?

I understand. By that time I may have been blinded by all the butter and sugar what was taking over my RL.

[Spacedaisy]

The first one was you and the second one was Epi I believe.

[Spacedaisy]

Oh and BDH the last night.

[Turnip Head]

This was a fun game to spectate! So... what happened was that MP accidentally spoiled me as to who some of the baddies were So I had to be replaced.

I was very happy to facilitate Russ subbing back into the game in the Henry role though. I was routing for him the whole game. I thought he did a great job of constantly shrugging off the suspicion against him while he built cases. You played a great game Russ and I was proud to see you make it so far!

As for my small ingame contributions, I knew from my role exactly what the engagement ring did, so I thought Scotty was bad news after Russ 1.0 was lynched in his place. That's why I kept asking Juliette to arrest me, I wanted to pass along my info while incarcerated. And then Scotty ended up being Juliette

I could not believe Epi flipped as Yin or whatever, I was so shocked :P

Yeah.... Originally we had given both baddie teams a chatzy, but the Crooked Cops wanted a thread-based BTSC instead. In my haste in setting one up I forgot to remove the action from the administration log so when Turnip Head logged into the ACP he saw it listed under the most recent actions.

It's my first win that had a banner to go with it. I've won a couple of heists already.

[DharmaHelper]

The good news is that there are some cool games in sign-ups

[BigDamnHero]

All I can really say is....WOW!!!! I'm amazed I was able to pull out that win for Civs everywhere...Really, it ALL came down to luck during the last couple phases.

First off, I was gathering NO info from my nightly polygraph checks (and night 2 or 3 I didn't even get one cuz I was trying to PM from my phone and apparently didn't submit the PM to hosts). There wasn't enough info to assertain anyone's role in the early going. I was really REALLY hoping taht some civ, ANY civ would realize they should lie on ALL 5 QUESTIONS so I would know the full truth from them (keep that in mind for the future, folks). That's why I said in one of the later days that Timmer may be one of the SMARTEST players because he told me 4 lies...which turned out to be equally as disguising and only slightly easier to figure out he was bad, but by then he was killed and revealed anyway.

Now Epi's response basically called me out as being Lassie...which I kinda figured meant he was civ after I lived for so many night's after. Obviously he used this to his advantage to keep me in his side pocket...well played sir!...but when it came down to the last few days, I basically threw out ALL previous feelings and looked solely at Epi's response and the roles left and realized he MUST be one of the baddie roles.

So on about night 5 or so (shortly after the safe combo had been reset), my guess came back with 2 of 3 correct numbers. The next night I changed the one up a number....nope...then chaged it down a number the next night...nope...finally got it on the third try, and it COULDN'T have come at a better time. Here's what was inside:

Ankle Weights: This item does something! But the player who uses it won't know what until they use it.

Apple: Using this item will allow the player to be told the actual vote tally

Baby Monitor: The player who uses this item will learn the result of Madeleine’s psychological profile without learning the identity of the player being checked.

Cup of coffee (three cream, four sugars): Keeps the player awake for a stakeout; that player may watch one player and track their night target. (Carlton Lassiter can use this twice)

House Keys: The player who uses this item can protect another player from kills for one night.

Necklace: If a player holds this item when Carlton hooks them up to his polygraph, the necklace will allow them to get out of it, giving him no results.

Pistol: The player who uses this item gets a one time kill, but it only has a 25% chance of being successful. Each player can only use this once.

Psych Profile: If a player uses this item, they can remove one other player from the poll, but not him/herself.

Roller Skates: If a player uses this item, they can choose 25% of the living players to be in the next day’s poll, but there is a 50% chance one of those names will be randomly replaced with their own. This item can only be used once in total and since it has been used once already they are now useless.

Straight Jacket: This item does nothing! For you anyway...

Threatening Photograph: A player can use this item to role block another player.

I began asking the hosts TONS of questions: can any be used immedaitely, can I use the items before giving them away until I get down to 3 befre the end of the night phase, can I give them to the lynchee RIGHT BEFORE they are lynched so the more dangerous items go back in the safe, etc? That's when I came up with my final plan: I would dole out the more inoccuous items to the other players and give three to epi so he would take them with him to his grave and thus be unusable. I can't remember what I gave to who, but I kept the pistol (25% chance of an NK), Threatening photo (night block) and Psych profile (remove other player from poll). I decided to use my night ability to check Eloh, use the pistol on Russ (my thought here was that Epi was trying to eliminate the cops and so since he wanted us to take out Russ, this would be a good target), and use the block on BWT. Best case scenario: Russ would be the cop and the game would be over (providing the bullet hit its mark). But...well, we know how it turned out....knowing the game wasn't over but BWT had been blocked, it was easy for me to cast my vote and just HOPE AND PRAY Eloh wanted to win an epic victory with the civs...

[BigDamnHero]

Now, as for my "info dumping" I immediately apologized to the hosts and confessed I knew I was walking razor's edge, but in my defense, ONLY BWT and Epi (the only two living players I had checked) could've known/understood what I was saying. I figured most everyone else would figure I was talking jibberish or got whammied by an item. BWT then announced about his item, which I was NOT expecting, and asked me what info I gathered that made me think he was bad...the answer was exactly as I had been yammering about, I received NO info that night. More than anything, I was hinting at Epi (who I thought was civ at the time) that the 5 questions he previouly answered did not get a response from BWT...and I made sure that during the fallout that while THAT particular case against him fell through that it in NO WAY exonerated him from scrutiny.

Also, I updated my sig at the start of the game for 2 purposes:
A) just to brag...
B) As a wink to my role without blatantly saying it.

All-in-all, I had a blast playing....and now it's back to mafia retirment for me...PEACE OUT!

[Scotty]

Hey BDH- good stuff my man! You are by my count the MVP of this game for the civs.

Cracking that safe and ending up with all those items at once could overwhelm a person, but you meticulously doled out items to pretty awesome results. You also chose to block bwt at the perfect time, so that's great stuff. Thanks for netting me and the rest of the civs a win for this game! I thought we were doomed from day 5 onward, so whoosh this is all surprising.

I can't say Epi was the MVP of the civs, though if he hadn't killed INH in his kamakaze jamboree, I dunno if the game would have continued. So thanks Epi!

[Russtifinko]

I felt almost a little bad about that grudge, especially after you flipped. I had almost convinced myself to let it go, but in my BTSC with LoRab we talked about it, and she helped me convince myself that only a baddie would redirect to a civ. So I kept going at it hard.

This was a fun game to spectate! So... what happened was that MP accidentally spoiled me as to who some of the baddies were So I had to be replaced.

I figured you had gotten spoiled somehow! Bummer you didn't get to play it out! It was a fun game, despite being frustrating at times. But I'm really glad you had fun watching. It's kind fo fun to know you were watching and pulling for me the whole time. I did a poor job of rallying the troops on timmer, and the civs needed both a big dose of luck and major help from both Epi and Elo to win.

And BDH, YOU killed me??? And on a 25% chance, too. Haha I am so glad Epi had the Cops figured better than you did! I am glad you finally reconsidered your read on him, as I thought it was nearly impossible he wouldn't make it to endgame, although I was getting more and mroe convinced he was bad as bad lynch after bad lynch went through. I laid off him because I was scared you, BWT, and Elo would all turn on me hard though, with all the support he had.

[Russtifinko]

Anyway BDH, well played, and thanks for leading the civs to victory!

[Quin]

Would someone be able to add this game to the Hall of Fame? It looks like it never quite got there
