Oh gosh, that took a very long time, but I'm glad it ended. I never do want to argue with wrathie again.
Quite frankly, so do I. For that matter, I never want to play in a game with wrathie in it, ever again.
Anyway, so, given how I managed to win this game despite almost dying on D1 and having a fakeclaim hovering over me ever since and both my scumbuddies got lynched D2 and D3 and the game lasted until D6, I do admit I had to have pulled this off pretty awesomely.
There was no highly complex pre-planned gambit. Quite literally D1 I was faced with the prospect of being lynched and had to run to an exam, so I claimed Town Doctor primarily in the hopes of "well, even if I'm lynched, at least I will have outed the
real Town Doctor and it will not be inheritly crappy for scum". This later turned into LYNCHING the doctor and outing the cop. I come back from my Thermodynamics final and spend a couple minutes laughing.
Then, after seeing this, pesco's role info, one of the rules and being on entirely too much Dexedrine at the time, I thought up a silly little gambit. Pesco frames me (as KY is likely to investigate me due to him being a noob cop), and then
because nowhere in my role PM does it state that my ability to roleblock cannot block NKs (and I clarify this with Kilga just to make sure), Nietz NK's me and I RB Nietz. The result is the N1 No NK.
D2 I bussed pesco due to pesco quite frankly being extremely irritating and playing very horribly. I didn't
quite want him to be the D2 lynch, D3 would have been much preferable as he'd be able to frame Nietz then and the game would be over sooner, but then...
N2... let's put it this way, Kiro: I consider you more of a threat to scum than a claimed, proven cop. Good job. You really have impressed me a lot.
D3 was kind of surprising. I was expecting that Serpentarius would investigate donut, which would lose us a mis-lynch, but otherwise would not be that terrible. Instead he happened to be a much better player than I had expected and had investigated Nietz, who rather unsurprisingly turned up scum.
Oh, one thing I have to mention: the one unfair advantage that I think I had was the knowledge that pesco's framer role could turn scum into townies, and not just townies into scum as per the MS wiki. Considering Kilga had posted the role PMs of Sodium Iodide, Kanako Yasaka *AND* Roukan, I was vaguely surprised by this decision (though I'm not complaining
)
D4 was essentially push case on Zaknut, hope he gets lynched. I simply was not around during the deadline, that's all. When I finally got back I breathed a sigh of relief.
N4 I decided to off Roukan as he was getting worryingly on my case. Turns out N4 was the same night he decided to track me! This was some pure luck here and I am amazed it worked out in the end.
D5 I can't comment on much due to the modkill cutting the day short. I'm not sure what to make of the modkill, but if Kilga had simply let the day go on I think I likely would have been screwed, so it would either have highly benefited Town or highly benefited Scum, with no middle ground.
LYLO was essentially just me being awesome. I gave it my all, I missed sleep and basically ran to this thread the second I got out of my classes, not to mention spent entirely too much time just refreshing the thread. I was a bit surprised umu dredged up Kiro's post about setup speculation, inferred the right conclusion from it, and then dropped it. I was also rather pleasantly surprised that Affinity happened to be correct in assuming I was scum. However, there was the issue that I played exceptionally well, and personally I think if I wasn't forced to fakeclaim, that I essentially would have been obvtown until the end.
So...good job to Town, especially Kiro, Edible and Affinity, who played extremely well. Also much thanks to Kilga, for making a rather interesting setup which was also quite fun to play.
For anyone who is interested, the scum quicktopic is
here, though it's not terribly useful due to both of my scumbuddies being lynched fairly early on in the game.
Oh, and umu: I never planned a gambit. In fact, I never planned any of my actions. My play since D1 in this game, and in basically all other games that I've been scum in has been to make shit up as I go along, and so far it appears to work quite well.
The fact that I completely ignore the whole "try to lie as little as possible" scum philosophy and essentially create statements out of thin air rather helps, tbqh.
