To the mafia: Nice try. None of you played necessarily bad. Just a bit of bad luck with the night actions and being surrounded by so many obv town.
Ripple: I had you pegged super super early I felt your tone was off and your posts were pretty forced. However, you know me too well and how I read people. I think you knew I would SR UltraAug and possibly used that to your advantage. I wish I didn't give you benefit of the doubt for one day. On top of that, your fake claim was really good actually. and I half bought it. However, your feud with Shamu was basically the nail in the coffin for you. That and Jeff threatening to out my bluff if I didn't vote you. You didn't play bad this game Claire and your scum play is still really good.
Shamu: You played a pretty good scum game for your first (legit) forum mafia game here. I'm proud of you. I think some of your posts were a bit off and ingenuine. Which is why I was a component of lynching you. However, you did a good job at pretending you were game solving. I did doubt my read on you a few times and waffled quite a bit. As you said, your feud with Ripple was a bit too theatrical. So for that and your claim, you ate a lynch.
Gerry: I had you pegged as mafia immediately as well. However then you just started to troll the game and bluff a lot and your progression through the game actually looked kinda genuine for the most part. At times I felt like you were fake scum-hunting. It's without question that you played the best out of your 3 partners. YOU WERE LITERALLY CONFIRMED SCUM BY BEING ROLEBLOCKED AND YOU MANAGED TO GET XXEROX LYNCHED. Pretty impressive bud. But unfortunately, that damned you quite a bit. Also the fact that your interactions with Ripple d1 contradicted heavily with your interactions with her d2. I said that you also might have had faux-rage but I didn't mark it as immediately scum because I've defended scum super hard like that as town before. Just put you on my "do not let live to LYLO list".
was the events log useful for people? i was hoping it would be a big help for people wanting to reread specific parts of the game but im not sure the need ever came up. if only we had ISO's on epicmafia.
And for dead threads because I dont have everyone on skype and it was just easier.

Nah, they still used Skype. I used QT for your neighborhood because I wanted to make sure it was totally clear how the mechanics of the neighborhood worked in case someone who would have never experienced neighborizers before got the role.
I think the next game I host I'll deliberately try to screw with you guys and give mafia more "towny" roles.

yup. he just wanted to fakeclaim i guess. didn't end up making much of a different really. claiming miller out of the gate probably would have been better for town.
Oh, and xxerox. Many mods in flavored games do decide to give each power its own unique ability name. I didn't do that for two reasons.
First, I thought since a lot of people in this game weren't used to heavily flavored games, it would just add to confusion. I wanted things to be as clear as possible while still getting to add flavor.
Second, Tarot cards aren't literal. Death being a vigilante might make sense, but tarot cards are all metaphors which speak to ideas, not literal figures like emperors and celestial bodies. Giving unique flavor names like "Death's Touch" would have been a discredit to the spirit of Tarot. If I had given ability names, a vigilante ability in the hands of Death would have just been "Ending" or something to that effect. And again, I thought that would be confusing.
Ultra wouldn't have been lynched if i knew there was a miller.

Interesting things that happened this game: xxerox gets told he's miller in his role PM. Not only does he decide not to claim this, but he ends up quickhammering the claimed cop day 1.
Thundurus not using his nonconsecutive ability for the first 3 nights.
Ripple deciding to claim her real flavor despite the fact that I gave fakeclaims, one of which was far more suited to her Universal Backup claim (The Empress).
Sincerely choosing to sack herself was amazing because she was about to be lynched.

I didn't end up getting lynched but I was also never hit and was still being doubted in the 4person mylo at the end. And I ended up mislynching because my macho modifier trolled me into thinking there had to be another protective role in the setup (mafia had fakeclaimed doctor). Just like this setup; it was a complete red herring. The macho modifier was meaningless.
