CRAP! I knew at the last minute those two were playing me. Damn the rest of the town to leave me alone at the last. Still, it wouldn't have happened any other way, as they would never have come together to hang Org or Irony, which were the only other choices.
In my experience, as a townie, you should basically never change your vote within the last few hours of the day. That's when scum try to pull their gambits to lynch townies. If anything, it should have confirmed Org and Jetsquirrel as scum. [...] Which is part of the problem... Townies shouldn't participate in 11th hour lynches. Makes finding the scums job *much* easier when they do.
Yes. If I learned anything from this game, this is it. In retrospect, I should have unvoted, or called for an extension. I don't like to do that, as it just moves the deadline to the next time people have classes or homework or lives or whatever, instead of solving anything, but in this case it would have left evidence of JS/Org's concerted play.
Lesson learned.
You should have claimed white sorcerer, gotten support, and keeping Org and everyone else in Sanctuary would prevent you from being NK'd! Crap, you could have won this almost singlehandedly!
Yes, that would have been an awesome strategy. That's the main thing stopping the game from ending when there are equal scum and town. The problem is that it only works if there are three Apprentices to support him.
It would have been awesome indeed. Loud raspberry to Eduren's lack of balls to suggest it. I'm reasonably sure enough support would have been gathered, moreso because his play hadn't been scummy at all. Only Irony had been going after him, and looked scummier in the process.
And IronyOwl didn't assist day 2 either... Jim was Org's second supporter.
Jim, why did you support red N2? You trusted my claim for white, and you seemed to trust I was town; did you really think red was town too, or that I had supported the scum school by mistake?
So I'm going to suggest a two phase night, where apprentices can send in their support, and then the sorcerers get to use their actions.
I disagree with this. Games are slow enough as it is, and extending the locked down period only encourages lurkers. Maybe if the support was posted on thread instead of PM'd, like in WD, but even then I'd rather the town got off their asses and supported on their own. Perhaps listing on the votecount who has sent support? Send "none" if you don't want to support, but if you just forget it will be recorded in the votecount.
