It was actually MYLO on D3, due to the ties rule + powers. I think Town had great odds here but scum played an excellent day game.

Urrrrrrrrrrrrgh, well played.

I want my Sunday back if you were just going to quick hammer me at the end anyway.

The only thing that really leaves me with a sour taste is the rule about ties being resolved randomly. Even if Knightwing64 and I had perfect decision making on Day 3 our path to victory relies on gambling, which conceptually sucks. I think I prefer losing in that situation rather than having a crapshoot with the scumteam over who gets to win.

Also not knowing how many scum there were at the start of the game.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

Yeah that was a weird one. I make most of the same moves as town, but probably fight harder for FoU on D1.

NJW is right though, town kinda coasted D1 and 2. Combined with N1 being a wash from the attract, it made it a bit easier to just coast along with them.

If you think dwarves are so great then you should have thrown.

Reasonable. I brought over the tie rule from the last proc gen, which I think I originally instated to keep the game competitive with a small player base (as it pushes for decisive votes) but, yes, randomness at LYLO is a bit off.

I think firmer rules on scum and third party composition is a good idea, so people know what the possibility space is.

The uncertainty did give me certain advantages in how to approach things.

So...Jim was a Jester

Thus town had lost by Day 3, and mod was a bastard to make them play it out.

Upon dying for the first time, you will revive with a completely false (newly generated) roleflip with a random alignment.
Jim was town.

It is encrusted with sharkmist and HMRC. On the item is an image of HMRC and Pancaek. Pancaek is laughing. The HMRC is melting. The artwork relates to the encasing of the HMRC in metal by Pancaek during the Mission of Many People.))

Absolutely not on both counts. It is as Lenglon says.
