Mafia 44. Time of Troubles

Rudy, you don't need to be afraid of me; God willing, we'll be on the same team, it'll be easier)

Not necessarily. If you achieve victory by any means :D

I slightly forgot about the third night. Killing Plesen. Well, he was inactive. And I decided that since the anime fans suffered from me during the first two nights (it happened by chance, there are many of you here), I shouldn't break the tradition. Yes, I could have already, and indeed should have, started playing "smart," but I decided that I wouldn't survive until the end anyway. In short, I did everything for the sake of a more interesting game in the future. By the way, Vistrit was another candidate. A Cossack, after all. But, as I said, I hoped for the mafia.
Day 3.
After the witch saved me, I was sure problems would start. But nothing of the sort happened! The town, on the contrary, completely stopped paying attention to me.
But everyone went to Heaven. This, of course, was very good. But this is where I made my first serious blunder. I started attacking Hostor. No, it wasn't about him at all, but about the fact that the witch had to be gotten rid of. And I already knew that Heaven was the witch, because he hinted at it quite clearly.
In short, I see only one plus from my actions - I forced the cossack to kill a civilian.
By the way, perhaps the town's play wasn't that fatal; for example, the inquisitor's team could have guessed about Vistrit, because it was clear he was a cossack as early as the second day. Post 463. And the info before it.
In short, everyone made mistakes.
Well anyway, the day passed in stupid flooding and trolling Hostor.
Night 4.
Judging by the speeches of the 3rd day, it was easy to guess that Ar would block Heaven. Either he said so directly, or something else, but he decided to finally convince everyone of his guilt. Besides, a "levak" had already been given; there was no reason to stir things up. And the GM really wanted to close the Night earlier. In short, one major factor and a bunch of small ones.
The action of the fake prince faction was very clever. Removing Ivan under the condition that the holder of his role had already been revealed, while the town completely failed to notice it. Honestly, it was just hilarious! The mafia was telling each other that there were two revealed town roles that needed to be protected and defended. OMG!
Day 4.
It didn't really stick in my head. I decided not to blow my cover and let Ar carry out his dark business. Besides, it seemed to me then that the town was already too weak to win. I simply lacked gaming experience.
And yes, it seemed to me that we were executing a mafioso. But later, when analyzing the day, I concluded that I was really being dense back then. But overall, sticking to Ar's version was a profitable move, a viable one, I don't consider it a mistake. And I didn't care who died. Or rather, not who, but which role. The idea of executing an inactive player was a good one.
Night 5.
I killed Pobeditel. Since at the end of the previous day he was attacking me. And I was sure he was mafia.
Naturally, this was a mistake. Because:
1) exactly as a result of the following night, when as many as 3 mafiosos and 0 civilians died, it began to seem to me that it was game over. And I was right.
2) I deviated from the principle of killing inactives. Pobeditel played worthily. It was pleasant to watch.
3) If Pobeditel had continued attacking, there would be a chance the town would have hanged him. True, I was bothered by the fact that Archik was sure he was a cossack. Still, it's strange that with that role he didn't figure anything out. But still, I consider this kill a mistake. That's that.
We really shouldn't have been cutting each other, droogi negatives.
Day 5.
Exposing a mafioso. Everything is logical. It was very sad to execute him, I even thought about trying to bring the town back to executing Heaven. And again, I started to feel sorry for my "shield." Fail!
Night 6.
Now this was sad. Very sad.
1) Lisichka signed my death warrant by killing the prince. I would never have thought that anyone would set their sights on him.
2) I hoped the prince would live. And then everything would have been very cool. Arandor wouldn't have been able to explain everything away. As for the others, except for Lynx, whom I wouldn't have attacked anyway, they absolutely didn't care about the game. I would only have to explain everything logically and execute some civilian. And then it would depend on how the cards fell. In short, I got way ahead of myself. And I deserved it.
I see two scenarios where I could have pulled through this game:
a) I should have killed Djak, not Ar. He is a smart man, not indifferent, so he could have quite possibly abandoned the idea of executing me after at least that post.
b) Taking the skin of a Volkhv instead of a crusader (since I thought Ar would block me). Then the execution wouldn't have worked. And it would have been a blast!
Day 6. Well, I tried. Lisichka, in my opinion, did too. It's a pity I couldn't join the conversation from the very beginning. Then the thought that I was the "bad guy" wouldn't have taken root in the town's heads, and there would have been a chance, even without detailed explanations, to convince the town to execute Djak. Uh-huh, barbaric. But a bit more fun. Yes, not an intellectual method. But it couldn't have worked there anyway, I did it out of desperation. I don't like leaving a job halfway.
Night 7. Everything is logical. At least Hermit died rather than going on a drinking binge.

This was an analysis of my mistakes (in general) and a bit of the game.
I think after this, many will lose the desire to consider me the "best" player. After all, only my tactical part was well-developed. As a strategist, I am an outsider.
Impressions of the game as a whole coming soon.
