But it was the Wiki link. I don't trust anyone who cites Wiki.



P.S. That wasn't the tell though...

I'm at a function ATM, so I'll reply properly to everyone later.

I'm so happy that town pulled it out of the fire.

@Xeno: nope, never been scummy, just looked that way.

It's coming and in it you will be, well, probably whatever you want to be really. That is how god fantasies work, but how will I control for too many specials?

I learned a lot from that game.
Damn, you're good.

Thanks for the game Bol. Was entertaining.

And... (a touch smugly) ... I'm now 5 from 5.

I was going to explain about how your PM made me more sure about you but I realise I can use it in future. Bwahahahaha!

The PM confirmed things but it wasn't what I based my opinion on.

PMs from night 3 were not relevant though, strategically. As I described, the odds were against us at night 3 and when winning there failed, then with more time for town trust actions, hopes were very slim. At that point it was a matter of raindrops in the bucket. Identifying which particular drop overflowed it is misleading to the strategic position on night 3.

More interestingly, I was toying with the idea of creating a thread on game design. I have thinking of reviewing net-available games for what configurations precede wins for one side or the other, hence what configurations allow skills to edge the result amid all the lucky events.

On luck by the way, remember Durro was about to hypnotise one of the moriartistes on night 2. We had no idea about that and killed him solely because he was a good player (and Threat had asked me not to kill him (Threat) ). Had we picked one of our other options then the game changes strategically, drastically.

@Threat: 5/6 after next game, even if I have to mod-kill you
Edit: Oh sorry, it is Rhys who is the consistent survivor. OK, substitute "Rhys: 2/3" in the above
