I had a number of various shenangians that I would have used for various things.
For example, had Mariyta been lynched, Mr. Flay would have joined the game as a Balrog and killed Mariyta, for Glorfindel alludes. (Mr. Flay was a Balrog in the sign-up thread, if you remember.)

My first comment on the Dead QT: Zwet, why miller? Why not Arwen--Beloved Princess? (If they post the Mason QT, you'll see we talked about that, but it would have made more sense than Miller.)
Has she a name? / She reminds me of a small bird, perhaps a jenny wren. / An owl perhaps, that speaks only when the rest of the world sleeps. / Jenny will do well enough. ~Juliet Marillier,

BP is a bad claim in a 2-scum team game.

Katsuki is by far more absurdly beautiful than Fate. (hai parama)
Katsuki's Madness coming to you shortly: Nov, 2011!
But it would have required a guard...Aragorn was dead, and thus the only logical guard for Arwen would be Elrond, which could have motivated Elrond to CC, which would have still gotten Zwet lynched, but would have outed a PR and a ringbearer.

Loved the heavy flavor invested in the roles but I also feel that same heavy flavor limited some aspects of roles. It also limited fake claims. I absolutely loved the ring mafia traitor idea. I did not see it coming and I thought it was awesome when that flip happened. Based on flips, I would say teams were balanced (one side gets an extra ability but has a member a traitor instead of 4 together strong)
The palantirs were underused basically by design. When its obvious that a QT has scum in it, and its anonymous, then the QT usually ends up not getting used. QTs have to be iffy and unsure of alignment to be used well. I want to know what the intent of these were
But town did play extremely well only MLing once. Combining that and a plethora of cross kills makes the victory seem like a landslide. And I laughed when Saruman protected zwet....only to have his scum partner be the lynch that day instead. Town had superior play and won.
Cannot really comment more on setup balance until I see role PMs. If most of what was said was true, the setup was swingy (with the ring alt win condition? or was that the only win condition?). Swingy but looking really fun to play.
Hey Sajin. I don't remember if I actually replied to your PM or not. lol
The palantiri were something I threw together for fun, to add something new to the game. It wasn't until Edge got one that they were actually used; and by that time it was Edge and both scumbags in the QT posting as other people. lol
Scum could win as majority faction, or with all rings and other team dead.
Setup was meant to be swingy as hell; Mordor always pulled through in the trial runs...
I guess I could try and do role pms now...

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
