Mafia 107. Fever and Overdose

Congratulations, good roles!

This was a very psychologically difficult game for me. Being the sheriff, burned on the first night, while your death effectively counts as 4 on the vote, is incredibly nerve-wracking. At first, it was motivating, but later it caused me to make mistakes out of nowhere. It was hard to concentrate; I kept imagining scenarios where I was killed, and the mafia and maniac were bending the town over. Lucky for me it all worked out and the town won.

I especially enjoyed the play from Ment and Locken. Ment carried the town, rallied the quiet players around him, and developed a winning strategy. Locken, perhaps, was even too effective in helping the town; I doubt he planned it that way, but his actions largely decided the outcome of the game. Master, though confusing during the day, showed high activity and generally did the right things at night, so credit must be given where it's due. Crabbie needed some time to get going, but once he did, it became genuinely interesting to read his posts. Gumer's play was contradictory, taking too many risks with modkill. It's a real shame Vismaster didn't get a chance to play again.

The mafia's play didn't impress me, mainly due to low activity. I understand the circumstances were demoralizing, but leaving Lynx alone to participate in the thread discussions wasn't great either. Nevertheless, they did manage to successfully identify and kill the maniac, so they didn't leave without their moment in the spotlight.

I am very glad that mafia has returned to the pages of HeroesWorld and I hope this game won't be its requiem. Bravo to Tox, who found the strength to raise it from the grave and gave us a wonderful game. A huge thanks to him, and also to all the players; we made history together after a three-year void, and it was great to play with you all again

To show who's the boss here... Why not a simple isolation? I guess he expected an early death. Right, Fragment?

Exactly. I was seriously tilted from the first gazette, even though I tried not to show it. I understood that even if the mafia hadn't figured me out 100% yet, it would be very easy for them to do so the following night, or they might even come to kill me right away. So the only correct move I saw was to let everyone know who I was, so I could count on the town's protection at night and maybe even live a little longer.

You try protecting some Fragments, and you get treated like a junkie and suspected of being mafia the whole game...

Look who's talking x) Junkie behavior and Master always go hand in hand ) That's partly why I tried to isolate you on the first night, to get things clearer with you from the start, but thanks to the mafia, it didn't work, and then you started playing in your own style, and things went downhill from there.

And honestly, your first post that day, Fragment, looked more like an attempt by a brazen mafia player to push through some absurd vision during the day purely on authority

It was all nerves, I hope no one is offended... I was already on edge after Freud's execution, and the hypocrite's block just when I could have saved Nephela was the last straw.

After the log, I have two questions left:
Gumer, why did you only heal Ment the entire game? Did he hire you as his personal doctor or something? x)
Locken, why didn't you resurrect the hypocrite? I didn't expect you to refuse such a powerful role, especially with an ultimate...
