Uran, now I can comment on your confusion regarding the executions; see rule 5 ) NNW is also a vote. And obviously, if a player writes nothing, it's equivalent to them voting NNW.
Folks, it really was awesome. A bunch of active mafias (well, due to real-life stuff, Tox became very scarce at one point, but he said things weren't working out for him and asked for a replacement—he even tried to find a replacement himself; in any case, nothing terrible happened). In summary:
Tox — was quite useful in the first few days.
Fragment — yeah, we didn't really expect him to be such a convincing townie that he'd pull the Master out of the noose. In the end, as far as I can tell, it worked in our favor. He was active and played well...
Neyra — she blended into the game so well that I didn't even expect it. She did everything in her power, considering the time zones (and even stayed up until late at night, as far as I can tell, just to help us discuss ND and say something useful in the thread).
Yashchur — arrived at the right moment, figured things out, and started playing ) He pointed out some obvious things that we might have been missing before (yes, a fresh perspective is always useful); anyway, I enjoyed mafing with him too.
I'll speak separately about myself: for some reason, solving the clues just clicked for me. At first, I tried to make excuses; after long deliberation, I even wrote Uran a huge "traffic light," but then I weighed the pros and cons and decided that the chances of not hanging were slim, and I didn't want to give the townies food for thought. It's hard to judge how it played out in the end, but I want to believe that the fact that I didn't post my traffic light in the thread worked in our team's favor ) Be that as it may, we won.
I also want to mention Nephela... Yeah, I realized a bit too late that it came off as kind of awkward ) The move was good for many reasons, but if you were offended, then sorry, it was my idea... But overall, I want to quote Neyra:
and we tried to make an awesome game
rather than a boring slog
us:
managed to save the townie from the gallows who blended in perfectly, just to spend a kill on him the next night
playing with a guy who got whacked at the very beginning, but he still shows tons of enthusiasm and is a great conversationalist
killed Nephela on her birthday simply because
we provoked the main townie to use Dimension Door on the most dangerous townie for us
Regardless, this point also worked in our favor. Yes, we were winning anyway, but... We weren't sure if the doctor was Revan or Rimpel. Perhaps the second kill would have gone to him (Rimp). Then you would have revised your charts and you might have executed a mafia. Yes, we would have won eventually regardless, but the score would have been worse ;)
Mafias did great, victory is ours!
