Explanation of my thoughts and actions.
D1:
This post made it pretty obvious IMO that Andrew and Native were both vanilla town.
McUselessNoble's behavior in early D1 didn't match his behavior in politibastard, so I thought he was hiding something. Luckily he was scummy enough so Jim and I were able to convince town to lynch him.
N1:
Killed Phantom because he didn't post enough so i could get a read and it didn't look like he was getting a replace and we needed people to vote.
At this point, possible candidates for roleblocking were OB, Dariush, and Penngo. Penngo was dead set on Native, for reasons he still hasn't explained, and wouldn't provide any useful information if he inspected/vigged/tracked him. I doubted he would protect Phantom. Dariush's behavior was pretty consistent from BMXXX, so I didn't think he was a power role. That left Orangebottle.
D2:
Went perfectly. A town was lynched and Andrew looked somewhat scummy which I knew someone would mention.
N2:
At this point, only possible candidates for night actions were Dariush and OB. Since we lynched Penngo, there was no reason to keep Dariush in the game so we killed him. It was necessary to keep OB and Native to do the Andrew lynch.
D3: We pretty much won going into LyLo since it would require all 3 town voting the same way, and there was already OB/Native against Andrew. Wasn't planning on doing a quickhammer, so I tried to pressure OB to vote. Most likely scenarios (IMO) at this point:
1. OB + Native votes for Andrew, Jim or I hammer => win.
2. Push OB too hard, OB votes me, Native + Jim votes Andrew, OB or I hammer Andrew => win.
3. Andrew votes OB, Jim hammers => win.
It ended up not mattering, but the quickhammering wasn't very satisfying.
Conclusion: I had no reason to suspect that OB had a power role, but he was the most logical person to use a roleblock on.
Here's the scumchat from Wild West Mafia. Very useful information by Jim.
Thoughts about the game in general:
Lurking is actually a reasonably viable strategy in such a game. If OB had voted Andrew in D3, I probably would have lurked until Native did too.
I think everyone lost interest at some point on D1.
Didn't know Tiurin was getting a spoilspec and was wondering why he didn't replace in.
Hammering/Hammertime is totally a pun.
I really want to play town once.
Good game everyone!
