Quick comments from me on the game.
First off, I would like to apologize to Neko for not warning him correctly (e.g PM) in, say, D2 before modkilling him... since it was not as if he was irredeemably bad or anything. I also feel as if emotion came into my judgement of him as well, especially when it came to flavor and my replies to his PMs as well. I hope the message was sent across however, and I mean nothing personal about the modkill.
Secondly, there were some modding errors, such as telling rawr he was a 2-shot hitman instead of a 1-shot one and accidentally confirming Bard as cop in their quicktopic. Also I think huhwhat's role was ill-advised and unnecessary. Quite sad that Dormio did not have a chance to shine however, though I rooted for his win. If I had to do it again, I would make the lovers post restriction more stringent (such as forcing them to be tsun by 'denying' being lovers with anyone) and such. Also possibly would have allowed Nanako and Kaoru to talk in school during the day.
As for the standard of play this game, I am probably with Bard. Sheeping is bad and made for a wholly uninteresting game, like playing bingo with PX, Domio, Serela and Schezo on a 4x4 grid to determine the lynch order regardless of content. Scum may or may not join any of these sheeping chains, and thus they leave little trace of their ailgnment; scum had to throw away the game before people could find them.
There was also a dire lack of communication and dialogue; Dormio's and PX's rants about no one listening to them definitely has a grain of truth to them, though they are themselves guilty of this. Heck, Dan's ridiculous setup spec was indicative of town's waning interest in the game, and Serela seemed like the only one willing to consider possibilities, which is why he deserves the player MVP this game.
Lastly, there was a disturbing amount of upset people this game and post-game. This tends to make things awkward for everyone, so man up and cut things out.
As for advice on the appropriate parties about curing themselves of their meta, they should make cases and votes based on 'X is scummy because Y'. If there are two scumreads, say why one is stronger than the other and vote accordingly. If someone not in your range of suspects is a viable candidate for being lynched that day, briefly state why you agree or disagree with that lynch and why. Compared to these bedrocks of scumhunting, making unsubstantiated townreads and stuff are superfluous. People have to listen if this is followed; if they don't, it is the sound of MoTKTown sucking.
Thanks to Nameless, and to a lesser extent, pesco and Edible, for the more or less successful running of the game.
