Town Victory!! Congratulations to the townies, both dead and alive, to bring that about. It's pretty rare to see town win in a BM, and you did a good job!
Special kudos to
Shakerag and lynx_ for seeing through
Flandre's lies at the last minute, to
Nerjin for some fun flavour ideas, and to
Captain Ford for carrying the flag and trying to win for the scum to the very last minute!
Thanks to
Zombie Urist for a fun game, and for giving spectators some popcorn to throw at the noobs from the peanut gallery. That was a lot of fun.
Some general thoughts about this and future games:
- Dudes: be active! In my experience, the most fun games are active games, the least fun games are lurky games. Please, if you plan to play in future games, make every effort to be active! We don't care about your skill or manners or looks or anything else. As long as you play fair, all we ask is that you post!
- There should be a conversation about limiting extensions on BMs. Yes, limiting BM games is unwieldy and may unsettle new players, but on the other hand games going on for two months is not ideal either. Some middle ground should be found.
- In my opinion, Scum ICs should post more often on the main thread. Give non-scum players a peek of how things look like from the scum point of view, obviously without actual scumhunting or aiding your team. It would be useful, and would make posts like that horrible, horrible last minute extension attempt by Imiknorris less jarring and give it a context.
- Popcorn is fun! and tasty! For the future, I submit that for anyone thinking or saying the word "spoilspec", the right answer is "deadchat". That was a lot of fun, and just the right amount of popcorn. Thanks Tiruin and Phantom to think of it, and Zombie to go along with it. In addition, I think perhaps the Scum IC should be given access to it as well (he knows everything else, and can help keep the conversation going or advise the new players as they die), but that's all up for debate and the mod's final decision of course.
Again,
congratulations to town for a deserved victory. Good show all, and please keep activity as a priority in your future games.
