Good games town.
Some thoughts and analysis:
ToonyMan:
I think I played as well as I could have as a mafioso. I wasn't thinking I'd be around for Day 2 so I tried to turn an unwinnable situation into a win by convincing Luckyowl. Honestly felt like I had at least a 50/50 shot of it working. My hammer wasn't justifiable at all, but there's an argument I was mistaken town. Memehammering Webadict was really funny, but I wasn't suppose to survive doing that so justifying myself afterwards was a challenge. One day I'll play a game where I don't kill Webadict.
4maskwolf:
My brother in arms. I think voting them was really clever and I don't have any criticism with their play. If they were around for Day 2 instead of me I think we would have had a much higher chance of winning. I was pretty obviously scummy, but 4mask was way more ambiguous.
Webadict:
Very smart of them to kill the person who put them at L-1 and not the guy with the really shady hammer. This made it more than obvious that I was scummy and should be lynched on D2. I didn't want to make myself too obvious scum in case I did survive though.
Notquitethere:
Literally didn't get to play D1 so can't say much there. Everything they said on D2 was correct.
Luckyowl:
Accidently confirmed themselves as town on D1. I think this may have played a part in why I wanted to quickhammer Webadict compulsively like that. If I dawdled then there would be more evidence against us. This meant the lynch had to be on Webadict or NQT. I think they should listen to Web's advice in their previous post.
I would like to do a deeper dive into D1 votes and lynches at a later date.
Alright, I'll finish up with everyone else:
ToonyMan:Honestly ToonyMan, thinking back on it, I do think you made a good decision to quickhammer (Or, at the very least, a not incorrect one.) I realized it was to purposefully bait the Vengekill, too, but only after I saw the flip. It's possible that the play could've been improved by asking me a few more questions before hammering me ("confirming your suspicion," so to speak), but then that changes the intended plan a bit to avoid being Vengekilled and play for a Day 2. Basically, just add a fallback plan, in case it doesn't work as intended.
You were right. I was planning to lynch one of the remaining three and get myself into a position where I controlled Luckyowl (and therefore the game). That's actually what I
thought I was being hammered over. I was going to show Luckyowl the reasoning behind what I was doing, in an attempt to prove I was Town, and then I probably would've advocated for a lynch on, likely, 4maskwolf. So overall, as a plan, it was solid. It was incredibly bold, but it wasn't without merit, and honestly, I think it might've worked had I second-guessed myself on the Vengekill.
If I had to change how your Day 2 play was, though, I'd have gone for a more apologetic tone as your first post and owning the mistake. You'd use that as proof to show Luckyowl has to be Town, and then confirming it when they don't insta-lynch (Or, you know, they
DO, in which case, you win). Additionally, I think you're next best move would've been to start buddying Luckyowl hard. You'll notice that Day 1 had some of me doing that to Luckyowl, and it can work, but you're going to have to play hard at them. Humbling yourself before Luckyowl might've made them think twice about their decision.
notquitethere:I also agree that notquitethere had a great opening post on Day 2. Well reasoned arguments, and a solid defense for everything. Overall, no complaints or suggestions. Like, they didn't even get to play Day 1, but they knocked it out of the park.
4maskwolf:Regarding 4maskwolf, I can't come up with improvements, because a lot of my suspicion of them was gut related. The thing I got hung up on the most was that they voted for me, but also said Luckyowl was Town. Putting me at L-1 wasn't super suspicious, but they were defending the vote
too hard (Am I using the Too Townie fallacy?) for it to be a simple pressure vote. A lot of why I Vengekilled them related to me removing ToonyMan - notquitethere as a team, and because they were probably the biggest threat if I didn't. Basically... Eh? They made me wary enough that I had to kill them, so they showed they were doing a good enough job.
webadict:Great job, as usual. Medal of Honor. 150%. A+++ grade. I liked the part where you posted and the other part where you also got to play. Keep it up. Maybe work on not getting quickhammered next time, though, but honestly, that wasn't your fault.
