Well, twg isn't my first choice for a lynch, but my main reason for thinking him town would be the blueprint. But what inf said about not being worried about things he probably should've been is a red flag. And at this point, I suppose a red flag such as that is still worth pursuing.
And well, it's a short pursuit I guess. Probably too late to convince to people to go for Aqua :/

I'll just drop the hammer now so I can go take a nap.

Thank you everyone for playing my first mafia setup on EscRestart!
Also, a major thanks to Alisha for helping me balance the setup, as well as Inffy and Ltin for helping resolve some technical issues we had with the forums.

Thread being unlocked now :D
Yo thank you too for hosting a really cool game, shame I couldn't be in it for longer!

But damn well played maf,

especially Tim, there was a voice in the back of my head throughout asking me "what if Tim's the scum investigator role and inf's actually town?" I chose to ignore that voice but how wrong I was, gj dude you played it well!

Inf i gotta confess, i had both the lava lamp and the tinfoil hat yesterday, but the real confession is that i didnt realize you and twg meant the tinfoil hat until tim mentioned it in nightchat.,
You had to have your birthday the day we needed to lynch you, didn't you?

ngl, we were planning on getting sessy lynched, and somehow town swayed towards twg, it was genius.
Sessy played that really well tbf, I was more confident she was scum than I let on, I just didn't want inf to get a chance to bus one of her team mates.

But as soon as she claimed and defended herself she convinced me she was town. Idk why or how but it's pretty impressive.

I should start taking day 0 seriously...

There was probably truth in your (and mars') points about me inf, but still i tried to make real reads so i dunno. I did try to be more precise with wording after that first post.

I stand by what i said tho, should have been you instead of fog day 0 inf!

Closed setups means a game of counterclaims is not reliable, and role does not equal alignment either which why these games encourage reading intentions, not into mechanics.

Super spicy game, I enjoyed the idea a lot. I definitely had done stressful moments but I'm happy to hear that i did a good job. I do sort of feel like I didn't do a whole lot and just let town kill itself....

Tbh I thought we still had another night phase before winning. I thought we were going to have to deal with inf desperately using the cow to turn him into a doctor and mind game that.

Ehhh idk, I can definitely see Mars point. Unless the game is a bastard game there will be a degree of logic and balancing to a game so trying to predict whether cc's are real and what the town line up may be based on that isn't too unreliable.

Like even tho in the end I was mistaken a large proportion of my argument relied on the notion Tim and inf couldn't be on the same team for balancing reasons. I was just too closed minded to factor in Tim being a sneaky snake lmao

I think Mars was just unfortunate that these contrasting roles were all made visible the way that they were, with unu going from cop to messenger role with both being cc'd, it's obvious why that would draw suspicion.

Stranger from Planet 9 Alisha What were the reasons for your role/item choices? I'd especially like to know about my safe because as Tim pointed out it doesn't seem super useful as a townie but I might just be missing something (unless that's the point).

Also if you want to invite me to dead chat, I'll rejoin discord to make things easier :)
