I came in for someone who was silent before me and had the vanilla role. I wanted to come out strong regardless of how it would be taken. I can usually manage to fight off a lynch in most mafia games so I was never too concerned about that (although several times I had to resort to bizarre tactics). I figured, like many mafia games there would be plenty of roles in a group of this size. 

I thought it would be interesting to try to draw a lot of attention to myself, fight off the criticism and then let the role players get to the bottom of things. Along the way i was sure (at least at the time) that I could form coalition with the cop or another townmember that could lead to good lynches.

Unfortunately as often happens with text based interaction, things got muddied.

Nobody had much of a read on anything early on. We all had to vote by gut.

I thought Lobster was running with strange company early on and was confused. Then I felt confident that Zoko overplayed himself and switched by vote to him. This helped lead to a successful lynch. But, as can happen, more fears were created and even though I was on the right side of history there were still many doubts about who was the real UA.

At that point, I attempted to relax and try to build concensus. But I couldn't seem to get around some fantastic doubt surrounding me. We were in very good position and I was frustrated that we were fighting amongst ourselves. So I attempted to make several posts asking for others advise on likely targets and gave my own reasoning for who I suspected (keep in mind I hadn't much a clue who was mafia yet, so kept my reasons sparse as to not build false cases.)

Eyehunter was OBVIOUSLY the cop at this point and I picked up on his tell right away as it was quite contrived. Unfortunately AA and FTK would be the one's I would have to work on. I was prepared to do that. But such stone-walling lines as "95% sure not town" and  "I don't think he can tell me anything else relevant(or something similar)" made it seem impossible to bridge the divide.

I was also thrown for a complete loop (as well as several others) when FTK would claim my guilt and still vote for others that he said he was unsure of. This started leading me to believe he was Mafia. From that point on I was likely to vote opposite him as I didn't think he had our intentions in mind.

I felt like I could make progress on AA but he was killed before I could try to make a turnaround.

I was very inclined to go the lurker route but when CG emerged he threw many of us off. He came out fo the gate hard against me and then decieded to lurk while posting often on other threads in this very forum. Since I was already suspicious of FTK and I had correctly predicted he would openly support CV I was REALLY motivated to lynch CG.

I knew that if I was wrong then I could trust FTK.

I felt things at this point would be fine. I would announce that I trusted FTK and try to get back down to business, but then I was lynched by town. We were pretty close to hot water after that but you guys were able to navigate the troubled waters enough to come thru with the win!

Good job, i knew we could do it. 

So, in case it wasn't clear from my night targets, I heavily suspected eyehunter was the cop going into N2 and pretty much knew for certain that he was going into N3.

I was actively trying to bait him.into claiming since it would mean that the mafia would be shut down for a night, then blindly fumbling for me.

Most of this game was me wildly misrepresenting my thoughts and opinions. After I identified eyehunter as the cop I was able to ascertain his N1 and N2 targets by his actions (Zokorad and UA). With a babyfaced already flipped, I trusted the results on UA to be accurate. Which is the reason I tried to present a large case on UA, and the 'eyehunters hiding something comment.'

Well it's nice to see Town pull it off.  I admit I was wrong thinking UA was mafia.  But at least I got it right with FTK.

I am certainly on board for next time if Tevish is going to do another one.  I want to start from the beginning as I think it will be a lot easier then. 

EH, day two I througth you were either a seer(a cop for a mafia faction called werewolf that is used in addition to the mafia in some games),a cop or a werewolf trying to bait a seer.

I think we killed shadowchu nigth 1 because killing a newbie day 1 would have been harsh, killing a Px2 usual user would have made FFP and PV stand out more and we were aiming for a lobster kill day 2.

After vampire mafia jehenna finished on Px2 I saw the amount of posts FFP made in those quicktopics and througth that one between AA and badguy killed him since they were the only two that knew how much he was really active.

I take the blame for the mafia awful nigthkill choices(PV was the one that spotted caseytan)except nigth 2 where I was away.

I'm surprised that izzet guildgate and izzet keyrune were in the setup and they weren't masons-neigthbours.

If PV,FFP and zokorad want to link the quicktopic I have nothing against that.

FFP has a no lie policy, I don't know if that is the reason he used that argument against lobster.

All of you, was I really so obviously the cop? I was figuring that the mafia didn't get me, so I was hiding well. Mafia was killing vanilla after vanilla.

I kept pressuring you on your claims that pigfans, CG, and UA weren't mafia (for reasons you didn't want to explain), so that if you were cop you would back down and shut up about making claims without explanation.  I was worried every morning after Night 2 that we would wake up and you would be dead.

I considered the possibility that you were mafia during day three, which is part of the web I was trying to work through that saw me winding up mistakenly killing AA that night.  I was NOT expecting there to be a Doctor, because in the post on Px2 that describes the roles, it clearly warns a would-be game master not to put a Doctor and a Cop in the same game (a warning that Tevish and JD can work around due to their experience).
