Well then, I should probably write something too...

I wasn't ready for a setup like this. I'm a pretty poor player, and on top of that, I had almost no time left because of this stupid move and internet issues.
I really hoped I wouldn't get a mafia role or one of the maniacs, because there's no way I could play them properly. I was hoping to get some kind of defender-investigator, ideally the Lizardman, just so I could chill until the end of the game.
...
And then I got Rogdan's student... Okay, it would be one thing if it were just a reference to my character in the expansion, but it also came with the most fun ability I've ever played. So I decided to enjoy the game as much as possible.

However, don't think that my "fun" necessarily meant good play. At first, I simply wanted to click abilities for as long as possible and ideally survive until the end. It's a shame they weren't random and there were no kills; that would have been 10/10))))
Oh, and another funny fact... I only found out on the fourth day that redirection only triggers the following day, and even then, I figured it out "by accident." Yeah, heh

For the reasons mentioned above, I barely played with the town at first, for which I repent. I didn't tip you off about the first-day isolations or the second-day redirections. It seemed to me that such specific info would definitely blow my cover to the bad guys, and from there it's a short trip to death. And heroes don't die, after all.
In the end, as is known, I had to do it anyway, and besides, I grew fond of our little town and wanted it to win. But at least Revan didn't kill me in the log, so I'll count that as my mini-victory.

Regarding the setting in general... I liked everything very, very much, I'll only comment on your point regarding descriptions...
Vague descriptions aren't that bad, BUT, it's strange when some descriptions are explicit and others are incomprehensible. In that sense, the best description, oddly enough, was Neyra's death. Which is exactly what everyone kept pestering me about)))))
But some, like Lo's murder, the oranges, and the first clue, were a clear overkill. Revan might be overestimating the skill level of the heave-players, but it must be remembered that more than half of the people here are total casuals (no offense, I'm one of them), for whom such things only cause demoralization.

Regarding the players:

*Tox.
Well, as usual here x) Sorry for letting you down on the last day...

*Ment.
At the start of our discussion yesterday, I wrote the absolute truth. I didn't want to argue with anyone, but I was surprised and even glad that it happened. And although you didn't hang me, you still achieved your goal, because I completely forgot about you and the possible move to the Lizardman with an invite for the mage to your team. By the way, this might have cost the town the game, so you can boldly consider this a personal victory. Also, the vote for Artza wonderfully whitewashed the latter.
I still don't like all these moments of brazenly revealing one's role, even if not on a Tox-scale, I even asked Revan about it; but since the town didn't understand who was who from the discussion between me and Ment until the very end, I think it actually turned out well? And it's generally funny, considering we basically played each other's roles for half the game x)
Anyway, thank you very much, it was interesting.

*Lock
Your post a minute before the execution was just 10/10. Thanks to it, I boldly crossed you off the mafias, Inarych, and all the "newcomers," and only the moment with the possible Nekoran troubled me slightly until the last day. I'm not sure if something like that could ever be pulled off again, but I was glad to play. And I certainly don't deserve your praise...

*Master
You covered yourself perfectly with the investigator role. Of course, I still had slight doubts, and those doubts only grew after the "Inary" vote on me along with Ment, but as it turned out, it didn't decide things. Compared to the last game, yours differed very little, except that you answered a bit more cautiously, but without knowing beforehand, uncovering you was almost unreal.

*Nebos and Arets
It was nice chatting with you.
Nebos stepped it up noticeably at the end, and also did great at the start as Alma. I don't know why I didn't pay attention to your posts((((((((
Arets was vague, but friendly-vague, which is why if he was executed, it was because of someone else's role. Except that he suspiciously fell silent toward the end of the match, but by then it was far too late to jump anywhere.

*Nephela and Ples
Thanks to Nephele for the detailed breakdown of my actions)))) it was exactly after your posts that I decided to get properly involved in the game.
Ples played the day very well, I wanted to follow him. Pity he was killed fairly quickly.

*Medj
Also played well, even after the check I wasn't sure of your role, and as you can see, even with it, I couldn't determine it correctly.

The others either played inactively or died early, but thank you all for the game anyway!

As per tradition, a separate big thanks to Revan for hosting, I got a lot of pleasure and was glad for the opportunity to participate in this.

Whatever
