Oh yes, I completely forgot to mention something. Descriptions.
In game 58, many people complained about me because "nothing is clear," and yet, in this game, I repeated a similar structure for the descriptions. I think that as a player, reading a newspaper that has something to think about (Whose turn was it? Who was the one killed? Executed? And so on) is much better than reading text that directly tells you what happened. However, this doesn't mean that they didn't make sense or that it was impossible to understand the meaning of what was written.

Ironclad justification, Aretz, nothing more to say.

Night (Mona) blocks Neira
Boucher (Ment) – a massacre on Neira

- A massacre. Kills the player and all their visitors.

And why didn't Mona follow Neira?:confused: :confused: :confused:

Because this shouldn't happen for perfectly logical reasons. The Mafia clarified this beforehand, before sending the actions.

this shouldn't happen for perfectly logical reasons

I don't see any "logical reasons" at all. Doesn't it kill "its own"? But it says "all." And if Night hadn't gone on her own, but Eleanor had sent her (or if Mental had redirected Night to the target), would she still have died?

The Scout (Tox) checks if Vesper is armed.

I hate when people treat me like that. *added Tox to the blacklist*. Thank you all for the game and the interesting discussions. Special thanks to Naver for the wonderful set and captivating story, and to Ment for the engaging conversations in the chat. Ursula - congratulations on the victory! I hope you enjoy it here.

Kosha's elimination on the last day was simply epic. And she correctly guessed the serial killer, Ursula. Arandor explained his position regarding the game in detail, but didn't explain why they were so eager to execute Drakkosha.

Ursula, congratulations on the victory! The game was excellent.

The town was indeed strong, and I liked the idea of a team within a team. But, unfortunately, this game didn't turn out any better than the others. I understand that I seemed suspicious, but you still had more obvious candidates (at least Plesen, even though they didn't quite guess him correctly).

Regarding the descriptions: overall, considering that all the bodies were eventually identified correctly, this confusing approach was quite justified.

Now about the notes. This time, the deception was quite elaborate. I didn't understand the persistence in sending notes supposedly from Limion almost until the very last night. Revan, can you add to the log who sent which note? It's very interesting. I'm making it a rule for myself never to blindly believe notes again. Even with double hyphens. I hope the town won't be so quick to execute people based on psychology now.

Thank you all for the game.

I didn't save the authors of the notes, so it's only possible to restore their authorship if those who wrote a particular note identify themselves.

What if Night hadn't gone on her own, but Eleanor had sent her (or Mental had redirected Night to her target), would she still have survived?

If she hadn't been a direct target of the Necromancer, then no, she wouldn't have died.

Sure, no problem. You might be surprised, but our team deliberately didn't write any notes, and I don't regret it; it turned out perfectly. Okay, I did consider blocking someone that night, but in the end, we decided to take a risk, and Ursula turned out to be more perceptive. I actually pushed for this decision, so it's my fault; we could have fought it out. Regarding the previous day, everything was perfectly logical. Remember that each of us had to not only prevent the Mafia from winning but also win ourselves. With instant execution, we had no chance, for example: there were too many townsfolk. I'm not even mentioning the case where we might make a mistake: Saret also seemed like a Mafia member, and in his case, it was easy to believe that he could forge a note. The town had a chance of winning even if a recruited player was executed, and it wasn't a bad chance. That's how it was. Don't judge the original town players too harshly; on that last day, they did something useful for their victory, they tried... But, of course, I won't talk about everything that happened before because it was epic. I'm sorry, but it was epic, and that stalemate was a completely natural consequence of the strategy of playing defensively, whether against the Mafia or a clean town. We were killing people, and what? No one was revealed throughout the game, the number of kills was off the charts, and everything was on point. And we were incredibly lucky with the random numbers; we constantly broke through defenses, even in that situation with VisTrit. So, that's the gist of it. I don't want to talk about the town; if anyone is going to beat their head against the wall, it's pointless. In reality, only towards the end, when the Winner and Ples were executed, were there some unpleasant mistakes... And even in the latter case, the Mafia made mistakes together with you, and not all the town players went for the execution head-on; some doubted their decision, which means something. So, that's roughly how it was. Thanks to all my teammates for the game; you guys are great! Thanks to the Game Master! Thanks to our opponents, especially Ursula, who turned out to be a truly serious and interesting opponent. And congratulations, Ursula! ------- Oh yes, I'm glad to see that our decision on the last night, even though it led to our defeat, still saved our last player. And even arranged their personal life

Congratulations to Ursula on the victory. I really enjoyed watching you play.

Morni, share your impressions of playing an "open" role, where you don't have to justify to everyone that you're not the Mafia.

Thank you, Revan, for the game. Even though you didn't play, I read it with interest.

Added 34 minutes later

which means we can just sit back and we have good reasons for that: weak roles, the right to do so after the last game, and a gameplay where we decided not to kill our citizens, because we live in the same country and want to become worthy rulers, etc.

Predictably, double standards, Arko. I'll translate what you said into Russian:
"The team I'm playing with can afford to sit back at home because they might be killed/hanged in response (I can always provide a theoretical basis for this). All other teams and individuals should not sit back at home because their tactic of sitting back is not justified."

Oh, and with his gameplay style... According to his logic, we should have been the ones to eliminate all eleven city defenders and the maniac. Well, we are cool, but not that cool.

In short, you're all to blame. Kosch wasn't hanged, which is why the emissary gained a decisive advantage. Figuring out Ursula was a good move, although it took three tries. But you could have failed. Our plan was solid, but you all messed it up. Regarding the game, overall, everything was fine. At first, we were afraid of the power of the Fingers, but it turned out they weren't a real threat, except that they just got in the way with their existence and desire to hand victory to the maniac. But that's their problem. The order of the non-disclosure agreements was very inconvenient. It would have been much easier to do everything in order. Moreover, the redirects should have come before the blocks, which is logical. Then everything would have worked out for us. Even if it hadn't worked out, by executing Kosch, we would have still had a chance to win. Moreover, if Metzger had actually blocked Ursula, and I had managed to redirect the Margrave to Nefel, we would have had every chance of winning. The very next night, we would have redirected Alex and killed Kosch. At the same time, Night would have been enough to kill Nefel. During the day, we would have reached a 3-3 score, when the conspirators and Cathar could have easily put pressure on the non-disclosure agreements. Then victory could easily have been ours, or at least gone to the assassins. After all, Night ignores all blocks. Ursula, well done, excellent game. Thank you to my team, Revan, and everyone else. Thank you all, you're all free to go.

Yes, Heroist, the plan was good, but forgive me if I say that we couldn't rely on you? I mean, if you were on your own before, it wasn't obvious that you would suddenly help us later, sorry. We had to take a risk; there were many cities. I probably don't regret that we killed, but the goal, due to my mistake, was chosen incorrectly; we should have targeted Sareta.

Sareta wasn't needed. Both of us would have died. Right? We just needed to wait one night, and then go to Nefel. During the day, they would have hanged Ursula, we would have taken down Kosh/Tox, and we would have ended up with a 3-3 score. Even if I had been hanged, Night ignores blocks, so we could have easily taken down two more while they were hanging Nebo. We would have ended up with a 1-1 or 2-1 score, and from there, who knows, but we could have won.

Sareta wasn't needed. Both of them would have died. Right?

Yes, you're right. Okay, then let's go with Koschei again. It's strange to hope that we'll successfully break through the defense for the hundredth time, but at least there are some chances.

we would have taken down Koschei/Tox

Well, I wasn't sure you could do it, and blocks still exist. Anyway, it's okay, what's done is done. We went all in, we lost, it happens.
