I was kind of tunneling Natiko_Sparks towards the end though.
Entirely not OMGUS.
or mostly not.
To be fair, I was thinking it too. Kark + Xbro made sense to me, but I kind wanted to OMGUS vote them. >_>;
Time to go through scum chat and see just how much they talk about me.
Caught your stealth edit
I didn't think we were that annoying, at least...I know I've been way more annoying as actual Town. The combination of Xbro's purity and being a scum partner with Sorian kinda made me take an unusual route of being quiet, as it had to feed into the overall cognitive dissonance.As for scum chat, I can't recall us talking a lot about you. It was mostly our own internal scheming, and the adults in the room swatting down my uhh, tendencies.

My being quiet came from being on a mostly unplanned vacation for a good part of Day 1. After I got off vacation I figured I'd just roll with it.

For what it's worth, I totally should have followed my flowchart and lynched you because of your lack of Day 1 gambit.
Of course, according to said flowchart, the correct course of action is to also lynch Crimson in Lylo. WHOOPS. >_>;
You two being quiet set off my alarms, I don't know why I didn't push it @_@

It's depressing how well the "afk scum" tactic works, especially during lylo.
because scum can be idiots too
hey! misreading our role PM actually worked in our favor this time!
Eh, we figured anything we said would tip the balance. Natiko had us covered.

My head is spinning from deciphering this
And just think, I was still adding stuff to it when I first made it
but the laughably bad web software I used basically became an unwieldy piece of crap after a certain point. D:

Same pls
I thiiiink I had made a post about that in scumchat early in the game, lol. It was actually a concern I had.
Yeah, I just read that comment and was like "WHY DIDN'T I FOLLOW PAST ME'S ADVICE?! WHY?!" *headdesk*
Also wow at the fact that we have more posts in our love boat than most of the other chats combined. >_>;
It wasn't so much because you were quiet, it's that usually in mafia, if I'm being loud, it's because of some insane thing I'm trying out. I'm fine with doing that without a partner, it's my own game to lose. The combination of partner game + being in the scum team made me feel a lot more responsible for other people's chances.
This is also why I was expecting you to dump a huge amount of info at some point. It was part of the ongoing fear in my head that you were summoning a spirit bomb of observations.
Me prodding that on the last day kind of played double-duty, though, because you saying you *didn't* have that gave me some confidence that we had a clear path. If nothing else, you should have bluffed

Yeah, if I hadn't lost my composure I would have. Ditto on the bluffing. Argh. >_<;
I'm really frustrated with how changing up my medicines made me do a 180 there. Oh well, only got myself to blame.

Always go after the coasters. It has become my mantra by now.
Anyway, I think we were on the verge of lynching XKark. XBros good midgame helped them way more than the lategame coasting. And I wouldn't say that Sawrian were coasting at all.
never
I think it's clear you didn't play to your full potential, which isn't such a bad way to lose. I, on the other hand, probably only survived because of good teammates.
Some of the things you did saved us. Like voting Ty/Trigger on Day 2.
That vote... I should've used D3 on it instead of forgetting about it

reading spec thread and feel real stupid. OH WELL.
Times like this I wish I was more experienced. I had doubts over town hooker but so many other people seemed to be willing to see it as a possibility that I was like, well, okay, and the wiki says maybe so I guess it could be! That coupled with Sorian just feeling very reasonable about it just put me in enough doubt that I went with it. NEVER AGAIN, WILD CLAIMERS.
(someone remind me of this later)
That FLOWCHART. I'm in love. Sophia, leave Crimson for me.

Remember that the next Sorian run game will actually feature town hookers though.
One thing to note for you (and probably part of why Sophia was on edge the last day), don't worry too much about the spec thread watching. It's harder to see all the angles when you are in the thick of the game and have to worry about anyone being evil. The people playing scum are trying to prey on that part of your mind.
Also, I forgot about that flowchart but it really did check out on this game for the most part.
I don't actually care about spec chat (in fact, I can't seem to see it? MOOOODS~!)
What had me on edge was mood swings caused by my medicines changing. Which is why I was all "SCREW THIS I'M OUT" one moment and then came back later to try and defend myself after that outburst. >_>;
I want to recreate or update that flowchart, but I'd need to find new software to do so. Software that could actually handle the insanity I'd put into it. >.>
Gotta keep that meta fresh!
Fair enough, sorry if I came off rude, just had to take a pot shot at the bad wording.
Nah, you didn't come off as rude. All of my anger and frustration this game was entirely me; nobody else's fault.

Remind me and I might have some good resources for flowcharts! I'm on my way out the door for a meeting just now though. Also I hope your meds get worked out. That's rough. <3
Oh, I don't really worry about it. Like it's not anxiety-inducing (and I do suffer from anxiety, as do so many academics, sigh), it was more a joke. Like an oh-man, hindsight-is-gonna-hurt reminder.
Noted! I'll ping you in a bit, and yeah the Doctor thinks it's because there's a sharp drop in my testosterone levels. So it's a good thing and should go away once they stabilize.

Someone analyze how I played and tell me how I could've done better with the tools I've been given
I feel like my lack of experience hurt town

If you come lttp. Or late into the day phase. Look if there were questions directed at you and respond to them.
It felt like you were not even trying to play the game at times and it came off as incredibly NS

The stuff that doesn't work, look over that and try to figure out why or change your course of action.
The stuff that works, do more of that and try to figure out why it works.
It's kinda self explanatory, but if you find something noteworthy think long and hard at why a scum or townie would say that. Townies do really weird things sometimes because they're town and scum are straightforward and calm because they're scum. Think back to past plays you've seen because not all scum and town will play like you.
Also realize when you start going in circles and can't learn anything from something. Just because something weird was posted doesn't mean it has anything to do with alignment. Move on and look for something that can tell you alignment.
The tools you're given also aren't the only tools available. Ask other people for their input, not only to see things from a different perspective, but also to get an idea of their thoughts. If someone is holding back try to force them into the spotlight so you can get a read of them.
Create discussion. The game is basically played by reading how other players read other players. Get that wheel rolling; point out something tiny, but noteworthy and interesting.
I didn't have that many tools (or, rather, I didn't read that much indepth), but what I found was fairly accurate. Maybe the pair mechanic made it more obvious, but I was kinda struck by how townie the town was in this game. My biggest misread, CrimSoph, was partly because that townread was less tangible as a product of many interactions that I didn't make notes of.
