There's a few things I want to say, now that the game is officially over.
Town would not have won, if it wasn't for the accidental leak. I want to be the first to say this, because I know if anybody from the scum team says it, you won't take it seriously because "they're salty" or whatever. I was in contact with Truffle about a night or so before my death. If I had died, I feel like town would not have lynched Gallows or Jer. I feel like they would have been able to fend off the accusations of them being scum. We trusted them and if it wasn't for the leak, town would have gone on doing so.
Granted, I feel like town would have probably gotten Karla and Kit. Kit, you were way too obvious. I had spread my suspicions about you constantly. When I PM'd you early in the game for your role, your response of "You're just trying to get information" was the exact same as Cory's response to that question. Honestly, I wish I made the connection earlier. I also figured out Karla through this. I figured that in order to win, Karla would help out the newer players by helping them respond to other players. He did have a little list of "here's what to do" in Mafia V. Also, Karla, I don't know if you had anything IRL going on, but it was fairly obvious with the Trundle lynch, moreso after we got Cory. You just put someone's name out there, and then went offline, letting town fight amongst ourselves. Kind of obvious you were scum at that point. I applaud Lunatic for figuring that out herself, an excellent
VIGILANTE SHOT if I do say so myself.
Yes I know she's the jack whatever
Town, what the hell? If we ever do a game with items again,
please don't make them the focus of discussion. Seriously, you guys did terrible with that. It let mafia spread bad information (Gallows) and it took the discussion off the lynch.
Furthermore, why did everybody say that they bought an item? Kind of makes you a target, and it also just ruined the function of anonymous mail and bulletin posts. And I'm glad that Truffle was able to keep his item a secret.
I don't know how I feel about the closed set-up. It makes for an interesting game, more analysis, but it's definitely harder. My only problem with it is, WHY WOULD YOU GIVE SAFE CLAIMS?! Ugh, it's a closed set-up, nobody knows each others role names
truthfully, so why give safeclaims? I mean, there's about 300 animals in the game, mafia could easily have made a safe-claim for themselves if needed. I just don't know why they were made official.
I feel like the game itself, not factoring in players or anything else, just the game set-up, was a little biased towards mafia with the addition of safe-claims and the closed set-up. I'd be in favor of closed set-up again, just without the safeclaims for reasons I said. That said, I also think that town made it easier for mafia by ****ing around with items.
Now it's time for thanks.
