Newbie 982 - Shadows of Death, Game Over!

[AurorusVox]

Yeah I figured as much from your "I'll be aggressive" comment in your catch-up post :p I think our playstyles meshed nicely - the quiet and the loud.

Hey. I've been keeping up with this thread since getting back from my holiday. Really glad scum won in the end, massive congratulations to Aurorus and Hinduragi.

Thanks Hinduragi for replacing me and doing such a good job at confusing those townie schmucks :p

And a massive thanks to everyone else; my first ever mafia game was thoroughly enjoyable, and I hope I can play with you all in future games.

Peace Up, A-Town Down. xXx

Congratulations! The three (;p) of you played a good game.

I've read along after being killed, but not close enough to give personal comments on day 2. I was dissappointed to see the Wall of Texts return, and feel that they may have played an important role in the reduced activity day 2 (it's a lot more difficult to get back in the game if you have several long posts to read every time you visit the thread). I was also a bit surprised to see how long everyone waited with voting day 2. A vote can do a lot to clarify suspicions and does add pressure. Now, the day 2 lynch of Earth Intruder felt like it came out of the blue a bit.

^This. I totally didn't see it coming but it felt like town had gone to "Well, scum aren't likely to be around since there's 4 active and they seem town enough. I'm going lynch all lurker mode for right now".'

I also was wondering why I was the only one voting for the most part of D2. That really confused me but it gave me extra confidence that I was not the lynch today.(Mainly because I could tell town(GB, mainly, since everyone else died) was being careful about voting and that I would be able to have as much time as I needed to lurk and think up answers) I also liked that AV was smart enough to just follow in GB's footsteps about the voting thing during D2. I voted when I replaced in, though, so it wasn't very abnormal for my vote to be there.

Wow. Scum keeps winning in all of Hayl Newbie Games...

Yeah, sorry about that. I forgot that the day was going to start, then when I saw game over, I thought I was lynched because people didn't want a replacement, and you thought I was scum after the EI so you just immediately lynched. That probably would have been a bad move in lylo, though, and with the people in this game I doubt it would happen.

Part of the reason for my inactivity is that I was still really confused after reading it through. I had to read some posts multiple times and it took forever. I couldn't do a reread immediately or we wouldn't have time before deadline D1. I guess I should have reread during D2...But I didn't for whatever reason, and that's why I wasn't scumhunting much. That's why when I looked back through the omnino ISOs I noticed some other things. Have to go now, will say more later.

I'll cut down my wall-o-text posts in the future. Non-newbie games are much more abrupt, it seems ><

Oh, darn.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Congrats to the mafia, you've played a great game.

@Everyone: What did you think about my heavy reliance throughout the game on experienced players? Was it anti-town?

[Hinduragi]

It brought up alot of WIFOM. For example, the very small but slim chance you were scum pretending to be VI. But, really, if I was town, I would regard it as null tell and ignore it completely.
