Two things doomed town this game. One was setup spec. That pretty much singlehandedly got me lynched with the whole loud doctor thing and got GC cleared way too easily. The second was the absolutely anti-town play on ABR's part with outright lying about his role, movements, and singleminded determination to lynch that not only got me lynched but got our backup cop killed and ABR was the 3rd power role with his tracker ability. I wonder how this game would have gone with a different player in ABR's slot.
Yeah, town killing the claimed cop was pretty bad and ABR's fake claim because of setup spec was pretty bad. ABR has done gambits before and sometimes they work spectacularly but other times they just fail - high risks, high stakes I guess. I think he was genuinely in the belief that you couldn't be the cop because of incorrect setup spec.
The first time ABR tried to get town me killed for some gambit I was furious but then I looked at his Wiki and there's some intriguing stuff there. I also feel like all of town kind of screwed up by then lynching him when his gambit had no value for scum to make.
The town "Bah" posts were uplifting even if for a brief period of time. I kept thinking, "game over" or "why bother, we're screwed" but those posts kind of helped it not be complete despair.
I did like having a PR even if it was passive and that there were a number of PRs in the game. Imagine if the cop, tracker and backup cop had not been killed - like this setup with some tweaks to the serial killer role should run again just to see what's possible.
