Thrilling diaries of Kyan.
Mason chat was fun and pain. Fun because I got to shitpost somewhat and because of chocolate ice cream. Pain because Sawneeks interrogated me more than anyone in the thread itself. Really, I first presented my opinions to Sawneeks and then to the thread. Had the extra burden of needing to be extremely careful with what I say and when and how and aaaargh and all from day two to day whatever.
Day three was the 1st time I thought I'd die. Sawneeks thought about revealing the chat and I figured it would be towny to do so. I tried to convince her to let me do it, because the revealer gets the #townpoints. She was not that interested in that and I felt that pushing the matter would make me scummy, so I began to fear my death. Then I wake up on the morning and I see she had hesitated. DAAAAAAAMN. An nth level gambit? Change stances to see how I'd react? If I do not reveal, I am scummy. If I do reveal, I might become a lynch candidate. DAAAAAAAAMN. But then everyone was KILL SAWNEEKS and then the game was about keeping her alive.
The 2nd time I thought I was dead when Sawneeks voted for me. I had no idea what that was and looking back I feel I was too defensive even though it was somewhat warranted. Managed to play it off, maybe somewhat because town had no interest at all what went on in the mason- that is in the Shrödinger's chat.
The cop reveal was [COP RANT] FUCK COPS [/COP RANT]. Unless town would fuck up, the endgame would be pretty close instead of it being a total scum sweep. The game became more unknown at this point and I am happy I got El Topo dead, as I never usually lead lynches. It certainly was out of my comfort zone. But even that was not enough and thanks to my amazing vote record, I felt I could not push for the final needed townie lynch. Instead, I did what I am comfortable with: suspect scum mates and hope town fucks up.
There was no direct fuck up so I gladly attached myself to Kark's theory of CB/CM/Stanley scum team. Thought it was the only way we could win. I fucked up and missed a vote on the day Corn got lynched. That was 3rd time I thought I was dead. Why that was not brought up, I have no idea. Then it was about who I want to the endgame. Oceanic died 1st because I felt his opinion of me and thus his vote was unpredictable. Then it was a pick between Kark and Salva. I picked Kark (because of Love Boat trauma) because he had shown throughout the game that he is not afraid to go against everyone, even himself. The more worrying part was that if he would suddenly flip to think that his initial read about the scum team was wrong, I did not feel I could convince him otherwise. Salva on the other hand had shown no such confidence in his own reads. He had made a big post detailing how he felt Karkador was scum and then some minutes later changed his opinion. Both could change their opinions, but Salva was more likely to not go with the change. That is what I thought at least and yay it worked.
Thankses all, Sophia, other mods, bear for not eating me, goodies, my baddie friends and chocolate ice cream. I already gave my thoughts about the balance in the scum thread and Sophia was very receptive about the ideas so I am sure the next game will be even better.
