Had the Seikend/AA connection upon death. I jailed Seikend my final Night hoping he'd send in the kill. Still thought Ran was their partner.
Fynal, no lie, you truly outplayed me. I read the thread countless times and always suspected you because you knew too much but you went after your scum-buddies so hard countless times that I just kept disregarding you as boss town. Congratulations, I am pretty much twisting Adumb's arm to give you MVP because you deserve it IMO. The only moment you slipped up was with the last minute wagon switch to X1 during the end of D1 I thought you might be AA's scumbuddy. I ended up discarding it though because of your previous exchanges, which were so freaking good.
Still, great performance by AA and Seikend both and you held it down so well. Best newbie performance I have ever seen on any forum bar none. I rarely slip up when I am so focused on one particular game. I can't stress enough how well you played and you should be really proud of your group performance. Fatal mistake on my part in thinking the nurse role backs up a jailkeeper. I had never actually encountered one in game before, so it caught me off guard and I could see it possibly working. I'll never make that mistake again
Some pointers for you both.
You both were very very wishy washy with some of your stances which got better as the game progressed. You both responded poorly to pressure, which actually might have saved a bit because I thought you were just frantic town. You were both way too timid in thread. I can't really accuse fynal of any of these things because I feel he repped scum amazingly in thread and I thought he was just a town prodigy who read up on the game and was playing fantastic. Only thing that comes to my mind about Fynal is him putting JTB at L-1 like that on D1 (which I took as a town tell because he did it so nonchalantly (be careful about that in future games, though, as you'll get tons of flack for it)) and his switch to X1 end of D2.
In particular, AA, I remember an instance where you said you wanted to lynch yourself over Ran because you thought he was town. I thought this was a scum slip because you should know you're town but X1 told me it was normal.
Seik, that post where I called you out for and made that huge deal was a legitimately scummy post and I think I explained why in thread already.
If I remember anything else I'll bring it up later but I'll leave on the note that you three played amazingly and from what Adumb has told me had lots of stuff going on in the background (QT) that was exceptional. Now lets see how well you do in your next game
Fun Fact: I won my first game ever on here as scum and then got lynched D1 my second game as town. Lets hope that doesn't happen to you
As for town...
Cmon Ran. If its MYLO and you're town don't just throw your hands up and say "if you've had enough discussion, you can lynch me" BECAUSE THAT WILL END THE GAME. Even to me who knew your alignment after death, it looked like a scum slip because you didnt care about dying (if you were town you would have damn well cared at that point, scum not so much). I tried to work with your town meta but towards the end I didn't see any other way it could possibly be but you and AA/Seik. Freaking fynal fooled me good.
Here is a line in my notes that I thought I would share with you all.
"JTB and Fynal can't both be town because having two informative roles in this setup in impossible. Reporter seems like a nerfed down enough role but fynal is a confirmed tracker. If I would have to guess I'd say Fynal was a mafia tracker and Seik is lying about his nurse role."
The modkill really screwed up my plans on acting on it though. D3, I was planning on clearing JTB and lynching Ran which would have brought down my pool of 5 to 3 (the whole scum team :/). I would have told me solid reads to Soup that Night and he would have acted upon them upon my death or I would have upon his death. The modkill gave town an extra scummy player to lynch through before getting to the scum team, which was the final one needed to win the game. Adumb, for that I will be ever salty.
