Frickin' called it! Woo! Was that why I garnered the NK, Tom, because you knew I would bulldog you?
@Anak: Thanks for making the right choice in the end. Surprised you were willing to lynch Shadow, though. I did the analysis overnight (and told GJ that I was more likely to be the NK for doing my work ahead of time) and figured there was NO WAY that Shadow was buddies with Megiddo. Just...no way.
@Megs: I don't know if you meant it tongue-in-cheek, but I totally took your "TEAM 'BEE'" comment to be a scumclaim (because you weren't "Team A", the town). Seriously, it was the thing that made me go "Meg is prob scum". Wouldn't have been enough all on its own, but then your behavior reinforced my suspicions.
@Tom: Why'd you push so hard for the 4-lynch D1? If you hadn't, I probably wouldn't have fixated on you.
It goes both ways. I was just floored that it could be that easy to grant you locktown status given your logic. I'll obviously have to be careful of you in the future, but your transparency of thought paired with the small size of this game....yeah, there's no way scum would go out of their way to townclear me like that.
@Tom: I applaud you going for the hard kill with Wind there, I'm pretty darn impressed. There was no way scum!wind didn't find a way to townread me and chain lynch the other three for the win, he was soooo townie.
KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

Well I got it right in the end, being in the final vote spot is stressful.
Tom felt off all game to me, but he can also pocket me really well. Wind I thought was super genuine, almost too genuine and I wasn't sure if it was actually an act.
GJ as always thanks for running a fantastic game, you are a top notch host.
Unfortunately I never read that game, so that didn't apply to me.
In 2v5 you probably go without a NK? That feels difficult yeah
No, you never take out the nk I don't think. The nk is why the town doesn't just get to go ape ***** crazy. Otherwise, you could just lynch one person a night, figure out their alignment, and continue the cycle. The night kill keeps the town from just info mining.
@cantrip NGL that's the most bizarre reason I've ever been voted. And I've played with DV several times.
Heehee. Well, technically I didn't vote you for that, but it's what first piqued my interest. Hope it made the game memorable.
Quote from Megiddo »
I was suggesting that i was on the BEE team as in not the WASPS. who were scum.
Oh, I know. I figured it was a 1000 to 1 against you actually claiming scum tongue-in-cheek with that. But, like I said, it made me reread you a little closer, and I liked (didn't like) what I found.
That and the post by Tom where he asked for NO BRAKES clearance from you. That smacked of scumtalk.

I think Anak's point was that it might be correct to lynch consecutively until the game ends if it's 5/2 and not allow the scum to have a NK from the town perspective.
I think the 6/2 set-up is probably better because it gives the same number of mislynches as a "normal" game, though only giving the scum one controlled kill makes it kind of town sided. Might consider going up to 7/2 and allowing the scum team to kill twice with a 1-shot vig or something.
The Town is VICTORIOUS!
The GJ way path to no lynching:
Sorry for my tinfoiling when I got lynched.

Well-played, all.
Thanks for the fun game, GJ!
good win everybody!!!
Yaaaaaaay I got lynched twice by Tom this game.
I am determined to make this work for a small game! Thank you everyone for playing!

I'm just relieved more than anything
Was fun lynching kj twice
Hard to tell. I've been scum in both blackouts.
Was hoping someone would meta me from the first one actually. I made sure that looked good for me

For the record the moment we got to four members I was trading in all town cred for a power lynch on you.
WP to Windveiled entertaining player for sure.
