-Lurking killed the scumteam. If Feysal had not lurked so hard, I think he could have had a good chance of mislynching Hoppster.
-This game was really swingy around mid-game. I thought the scumteam would win for a while, and that I had underpowered the town (Bodyguard had no effect, Doc might have been better, but I didn't want to have yet another Cop/Doc combo). However the two confirmed townies (1 by role, 1 by cop) really pulled through for the town in the end
-inHim just got really unlucky that the Mafia RB stumbled across him by chance, otherwise he might have had a fair chance at victory
-I'm somewhat annoyed at the snail-pace, lurking, and general lack of activity. I myself am also guilty of this considering how I somewhat neglected this game after my Large Normal opened
-jilynne was really horribly obvious scum by the end of D3, and the ToastyToast lynch was really bad and obviously scum-motivated. If they hadn't lynch jilynne D4 I would have facedesk'd.
That's about all from me. I'm glad players (and the odd spectator) enjoyed it. While I could have done better in the lynch/death scene department flavor-wise, I'm personally proud of the job I did with the role PMs. Here they are, by the way, minus win conditions which I had to ad-lib when I sent them out:

Setup originally had a Tracker and no Miller. My reviewer suggested that the Tracker was deceptively powerful, so I modified it to Flavor Cop and added a Miller to compensate.

There's actually quite a bit more cut content. When I originally came up with the concept (before I put a setup in stone), I wrote a bunch of sample role PMs for all kinds of roles. I might post them up if you want me to, that'll send me digging into the word documents of my old computer.
