Awards!

Best Overall Player: Final-Fan. You were both extremely active and also quite trusted as town.

Too Good to be Lynched: Blade. You should've been lynched without question for pushing padib into the lead at the last minute Day One. You should have been lynched for trying to push the blame of hat's lynch onto others. Yet town would not lynch you.

Town MVP: hatmoza. Your connections was the most effort shown by anyone and I appluad that by itself. Additionally, your analysis may have led to padib's mislynch, but at least someone was trying to push town to do something.

Non-participation: Trucks, prof, and Darwin. Each of you were not active enough to live to see additional Nights or Days. It was in the rules! Trucks gets a bonus award for guessing that I was the one to kill him.

Another good guess: spurge. Despite playing in countless games in which the subject of 3 town: 1 mafia "rule" has been brought up, you still thought 2 scum was feasible and it turned out to be correct.

Oh that says Unvote: Noctis. You didn't place a single vote all game. Not even your signature first post joke mod vote, which would have stuck too.

The idea that you might be executing the lurkers did occur to me, but I just kind of dismissed it instead of considering it seriously.  For some reason, it didn't occur to me at all to double check the rules post to see if they supported the idea! 

Two questions: 
Was there a minimum level of participation above which even the least active player would not die? 
Could mafia have been killed by this rule, or was it just town that was susceptible?

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

Mafia could be killed as well, Blade was fairly close Day Two and Three. Even Day One at one point.
I gave some consideration to a minimum level which would warrant no kills at all, but didn't come up with any actual rule since there is never a game in which every player is safe from being called a lurker.
I was going to "leave town" at the start of Day Four though, so if Blade had been killed(or either mafia lynched) or if there had been a No Lynch at some point, it would have turned into a normal game other than the voting changes.
Also, I could have been "lynched" in which case no more kills. It would still have gone to Night unless lynching me would give mafia the win, in which case Night would be skipped.

The idea was an extra kill would both decrease the amount of mislynches mafia need for a win as well as reduce the number of mislynches town wastes on lurkers. There were three reasons for having the death at end of Day rather than a second Night kill. Mafia and the Mason Recruiter wouldn't waste an action, Mafia's kill would be clear, and a Bodyguard death wouldn't cause extra confusion.



Oh yeah QTs:

Problem was that I was distrustful of everyone and I couldn't protect myself just by voting. Not being quickhammered actually put me into an even weirder situation, since I was sure if spurge was scum there would be a quickhammer. But as it was I thought that it was maybe even 1+1 as scum. I admit that FF probably would've risen way up in my scumlist in a 3 players left scenario, but in the current situation he would be the only one I would've denied to lynch.

Anyway, gg - I enjoyed taking ourselves apart.



padib is happydolphin, eh? I remember you. I vaguely remember having a very low opinion of your gameplay.

IMO you were a better player in the dead thread than in the game thread. Still, you participated, which counts for a LOT. I look forward to seeing you in future games.

Thanks for the town MVP. Yes, I was trying to get people active. I didn't necessarily want to lynch Padib but his response was just so classic scum. I would have let it go if it weren't for his terrible reaction. Actually if you go back to day one I was more for a Blade lynch before Padib persuaded us otherwise.

FF, the only time I faintly suspected you as scum is when Blade and Darwin hammered me and Prof was killed. But even in death I couldn't be convinced that my sweet Butt buddy FF was scum. Good on you. I applaud you for not only being an excellent player this round, but exploiting my weakness of me trusting active players who agree with me. What can I say. It feeds my ego.

I must see the scum thread.

Oh and I completely blame prof for my lynch. Jackass

Wait, that's it? It's over? Well, in hindsight, I can say I played like ass. Being town is way harder than mafia.
