I think this game taught you not to start off doing something for the sake of doing something unless you can pull your weight and get out of a lynch. Really, bad play. I was hoping I could've lasted until D2 or D3 without bussing one or both of you but then you both played like **** and I had to do it both days in a row. You started to play a little bit better once **** came to pass but by that time, your hole was so deep that any relatively townie post could've just been swept under the rug.
All in all, if you're gonna do stupid ****, have a back-up plan just in case it blows up in your face.
2. Glyfe
I wish you could've seen my face when you showed up and started making math puns. I was so excited that I was in this game twice and was so sad when I shot myself.
Your play was...obvious. People were starting to hound your slot and my immediate reaction was "that's just Glyfe." I know you wanted to break the whole "Glyfe only plays as scum" meta but you shouldn't have picked this game and that way to do it. If anything, you should play the game as town, you're more of a benefit for that.
As for shooting you, I wasn't sure if Jerkus would've been protected and I wanted to swing an indyGheb M/L if I could. Then you flipped indy and I went "WELL **** ME" and threw up the white flag. FFS.
Ah well. We'll get 'em another game.
3. Gorf
LET'S DO THAT AGAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIINNNN
4. TAWNN
Honestly, I didn't focus much on you guys. Occasionally you said smart things and that was my basis for leaving you alone. You didn't do anything that made me rip my hair out in anger and you weren't really a threat, so you got knocked down to the bottom of the priority list and I honestly didn't focus on you at all. I don't really know, try to make more of an impact? There really wasn't much to say. You have your brains about you at times, so I was impressed with sound judgment but I think your scumhunting was lacking.
It's hard for me to critique you guys.
5. JTB/Ruy
JTB was here?
Dammit Ruy, why didn't you shoot Soup, I would've loved M/Ling you on the basis that you were indy because you didn't shoot who we said and shot S-Tier instead. Except then I couldn't have claimed bus driver and jerkus would've ****ed me over harder. Oh well.
6. Soup
Don't fall for the obvious traps! Zen's all about gambits and that's exactly why I left him alone--he eventually put himself into one because I was expecting him to swallow himself alive through all of his bull****. I knew that if we kept him around long enough, his play wouldn't really speak for himself. Had you not done that, I might've carried you to D3 or D4 and then really bussed your *** then. But, sad day.
I think your issue is that you play this game to find scum and you struggle to do that when you are scum. So you feign **** but it's half-***** and doesn't come off well. Getting better is going to come with experience but you need to still hunt for things as scum. Instead of finding mafia, though, look for indies and PRs. These are key targets for scum.
7. Allegory/Inferno
Sad to say, Gheb had his point, Inferno (I hate saying Gheb is right, he gets such an ego from it). You basically came in and did what you could not to **** up the read people had on AcroFling already. I get that you tried to remain in the shadows because you were a princess, just...yeh, do more.
AcroFling, you played a good game, just one of your problems was that you tried to focus on everything and wanted to prevent anything from slipping under your nose that you actually did just that. Soup/Spidey went right by your main suspicions because you wanted to fully read everyone and while you were right about us, you weren't going to leave your vote there and your reasoning for it was bogus. Try developing a sense of priorities--focus on what's important at the moment and leave the other stuff for later. That's putting a lot of strain on yourself in a time where you should just be fleshing out reads as they come.
Good play otherwise!
8. GLG/Jerkus
**** you Peeks.
**** you Jerkus.
**** this slot.
No but seriously, well-played. Wrecked people with the information you had and had the intelligence to pull off the massclaim AND not claim your results before everyone else. It forced my hand and made me claim the PR out of safety rather than let me skate onto endgame as a VT.
9. Dabunz
Don't...ever do that again when put to VT. Honestly, I didn't really read you that hard, that was mostly Gorf. You made a couple of dumb posts that caught my eye but for the most part, I just anticipated you to play dumb because you're new to the game. For the most part, I was right. You made a couple of really bad connections to both scum players and that's mostly what damned you. Be careful about that.
Though the rainbow text made me think you were Ryker in the Closet or some other homosexual Ryker flavor.
10. J
I think you came into the game terribly as well. Leaning so hard on a restriction and your own meta really just kinda started you off badly and I was keeping you around solely because I felt town would ML you at some point or another (despite having top-tier reads on everyone). You kept living though, mostly because other things kept jumping up the priority list and you eventually got cleared.
Fun game though! You're always interesting to have around as town or scum. A ***** to read but usually an asset regardless of alignment. I missed playing with you, you should get on a scumteam with me sometime.
11. Zapp Brannigan
GOG YOU WERE SCARY. Putting Van's reading ability and logic with someone who can lock onto a player on a whim really, really had me on guard at any time. I felt glad that you came into the game and immediately hit it off with me--it eased my mind so well in the early game. The only reason I shot you was because I didn't know how you were going to react to J and I lynching one of your top town reads, but you seemed just to care about J and were going to leave me alone despite the fact that J's reads usually agreed with my reads all game. I had no assurance you were taking me to endgame, and I was trying to frame it into a situation where I could've won in LyLo. I didn't know if I could've pulled it off there.
12. S-Tier
You caught Soup, I'll give you that, but clearing Spidey in the process damned you. I wasn't letting that go, even if you turned around and got onto the wagon by the end of it. You played alright at times, but you were just...so sporadic and so reliant on gambits to get things done that I couldn't trust you at all. Town or scum, I would've made that lynch, or at least tried for it. I flipped back and forth on you so much on whether or not I could pull that lynch before I just said **** it and went for it. I figured I had something strong enough by that point.
13. Swiss/Gheb
SO HYDRA BULL**** WAS HYDRA BULL****. Yes, some people took to signing their posts but I wasn't about to join in on that. I get how you work, but on the other hand hydras just aren't that obvious. They're a different beast when it comes to reading them.
Gheb, no ego plz.
. I've gotten some scum reads right (Xonar in G3S, T-Block/Kantrip in Tactics, etc.) but I'm still not there yet. Gotta learn to push my reads better.
), I honestly think it was more so just my inactiveness/laziness on D1/D2 apart from a couple big posts. In reality I was more so just throwing insight here and there. I never actually pushed or lead a wagon on anyone this game. From my eyes AM and S-Tier did that mostly. I showed why Soup's case on Zen was scummy, but I don't think he responded to it. Spidey/Soup both just seemed pretty obvious to me, and there was no real need to convince anyone; everyone was pretty content with them going and that was fine by me.
