Total Votes ( 9 )

Deadline: March 22nd at 23:00 EST
With 9 able to vote, 5 needed to lynch.

This is the final vote count when the deadline was reached, my apologies for letting twilight linger for so long!

As per the rules, when the deadline is reached if there is no majority, I see if there is a majority of players who are voting for someone (i.e. not not voting). In this case, that is 3 out of 5 votes on hitogoroshi, so hito is lynched

hitogoroshi, The Corrupt Goon was lynched!

Town Wins!

Winners:

DrippingGoofball the Immortal God of Rewards

Nobody Special the Immortal God of Judgment

Andrius the Vigilante
LadyLambdadelta the Town Association Cop
Lost Butterfly the Traitor Hunter
nopointinactingup the Vanilla Priest
Equinox the Vanilla Priest
farside22 the Vanilla Priest
Nachomamma8 the Vanilla Priest
Benmage the Vanilla Priest
DeathRowKitty the Vanilla Priest
AlmasterGM the Vanilla Priest
DTMaster the Vanilla Priest

Congratulations guys!

Fishythefish hammered hitogoroshi.

That's

hilarious

Well, that was an interesting game. I'm sorry it seemed to fizzle toward the end, but I thought Days 1-3 were a lot of fun to watch. From my point of view, DGB and Andrius won this game for town by figuring out early they could make a town-aligned killer mason group, and scum kind of lost it for themselves by not taking out the person they had figured out by Day 2 was the vigilante. Also, by being pretty scummy.

I don't think it would have made a difference, but Fishy's vote on Day 4 was actually the vote that caused his last scum buddy to get lynched.

Whenever there's kind of a mismatch like this, I question my balance. Sometimes I was off (see Real Time Mafia and to a lesser extent Pledge of Allegiance), but I think here I actually got it right. I should note that even though people did setup analysis as if LLD was a COP, she was in many ways a very weak cop. The traitor hunter was mostly designed to keep easy traitor claims from popping up, I never really expected their shot to go through (and it didn't).

So there was some question on how I picked the gods. Here's how:
I made a list of my top 3 choices, randomly generated one of them
I made a list of my top 5 choices, randomly generated one of them
I took all of the players who signed up to be a god and randomly picked one.

For obvious reasons I won't reveal who was what pick.

My RGAM video coming up soon

[farside22]

Yay!!!! I so called FF scum. God damn that was bothering me so much and driving me nuts too.
I didn't even realize we reached deadline.
Good shots from the temple helped.

[zoraster]

Yeah, fishy hammering hito is only made worse by the fact that fishy was the one who could decide when the deadlines were. That said, I think Fishy had something in real life come up about a week ago and was doing well just to play at all. I hope everything is okay for him.

[farside22]

And happily I read hito scum early, called out Spyrex and Feyesal. At least I dont' feel completely incompetent about my scum reads.
I was pissed that DGB wouldn't listen to people and had to kill Equinox to savage her own soul.
I'll take being wrong about corv/nacho in stride. At least I was right about one of Benmage's meta and bussing.

[zoraster]

I want to thank everyone for playing. I had a good time moderating this game, even if the long deadlines really made me itch day 1 and 2. I'm not sure I'll do another game that gives players so much ability to extend the deadlines again.

Comments and suggestions are welcome either here or by PM. I strive to get better at modding every game I do.

In all my games I ask the same question: Who, if anyone, do you think deserves nomination from this game?

Given the lopsided win, I'd be tempted to go "town of court..." but that's a hard case to make when there was only one successful lynch. I don't know if they'll allow it, but a DGB/Andrius dual nom for paragon of scum hunters may be appropriate

[Equinox]

I got played like a fiddle. Props, Fishythefish. I hope everything is okay with you.

Bowser shells are on the menu for tonight for missing all 3 scum.

AlmasterGM and Nachomamma8 get gold stars for catching up despite circumstances and whatnot.

Um. Yeah, that's it. If dead chat gets linked, you can see my rage there. Otherwise, I don't really care anymore, so good game and all that jazz.

[Equinox]

In all my games I ask the same question: Who, if anyone, do you think deserves nomination from this game?

Andrius made great calls with his vigilante shots. (Mine was eh, but he did have a good reason.)

The lynches stank, so I'm hesitant about giving dual nomination... Still, excellent team work.

1 more scum would have been more balanced I think.

[Benmage]

Fishy may have gotten a scum pm but NS was the scum God.


Nopoint, all 4s now.

I had a continuasly shitty game.....not sure why you all were so hesitant to lynch hito at the end. Should've been most obvious to the fruits.

[Faraday]

This game would have been over ages ago if the temple of bad lynches being pushed through hadn't let hito fake claim vig.

[Faraday]

I'm very happy with my play, nailed SpyreX and Hito, my strong town reads were all correct.

[Faraday]

Given the lopsided win, I'd be tempted to go "town of court..." but that's a hard case to make when there was only one successful lynch. I don't know if they'll allow it, but a DGB/Andrius dual nom for paragon of scum hunters may be appropriate

Gotta be honest...not really deserving.

Number of people played well, Tajo was awesome, Jack too while he was around and at least Andrius did manage to vig properly.

[Faraday]

Oh and they shot the fucking most obvtown player in the game, noparagon.jpg

[Faraday]

I'm probably bitter as I wanted my fucking scum lynch though. Still.

[zoraster]

Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but I think if Fishy had gone super-quick 72 hour deadlines starting day 2 and shot andrius night 2, it would have been a much different game.

[Benmage]

Yeah dgb was pretty hell bent on the AGM/Jack lynch.

Faraday did Mina have alot to say before that was lost with your death??

I bet nachos case would've been good.

I appreciated DTM for calling out all my scumslips lol

[DrippingGoofball]

I had a continuasly shitty game.....not sure why you all were so hesitant to lynch hito at the end. Should've been most obvious to the fruits.

I was going to vote hito but I wanted to see Nacho's contribution, I was worried that there were two scums left. I didn't want to go into night without having some sense about Corvuu's replacement.

I regret my tajo suspicion but I have to reckon that his lack of trust in me felt scum-motivated; the reverse might be true for tajo's suspicion of me, as well.

I also regret the Equinox NK, because my gut said "townie" but the early game wording, which I misconstrued as traitor-fishing (pseudo-confirmed by Feysal flipping scum), turned him into a major distraction for me. On the plus side, the game didn't have too much friendly fire!

I liked being bulletproof, Andrius was totally awesome in the QT, we had a ball.

I'm surprised that the scum god didn't exploit his scummy powers in broad daylight. Had I been scum god, I would have given the town a hard time with my power or messing with the neighborhood, but Fishy seems to have done neither. He's too nice a guy!

[DrippingGoofball]

Yeah dgb was pretty hell bent on the AGM/Jack lynch.

Yeah. I have a thing for players claiming scum, as a joke, or as a "joke." No a good gambit to pull if I'm in the game... not to mention how it's not a purposeful gambit.

[Eddard Stark]

Yeah dgb was pretty hell bent on the AGM/Jack lynch.

Faraday did Mina have alot to say before that was lost with your death??

I don't know (she totally trusted my reads for the most part, how cool is she? ), the 'so angry' thing was because I thought we'd been vigged and tbh we were very obv town here. Even Mina from her first post would have been a town read for me. I didn't think you were that scummy after your early vanilla claim, although I'm sure you'll break your meta and use it to your advantage one day, but I expected a little better from you overall, in terms of pushing things you believed in.

I had a blast this game, between Mina impersonating me and drunken proposals it was pretty much the most enjoyable game I've had in a while.

It's jack, and he claimed NS was scum not him. poor Jack he's disappeared

Still there was some speedbumps but there was a happy ending, although next time don't hammer DTM like that please

[DrippingGoofball]

Oh and they shot the fucking most obvtown player in the game, noparagon.jpg

obvtown is not always equal to town. And we had the leg room to take him out, and still win the game. With hitofakevig surviving two nights in a row, we felt we had the game wrapped up, it was just a matter of when.
