Well, Town got close. I'll give them that. Guess they couldn't keep calm long enough to lynch some more Mafia, eh? Indeed. Of course, after I got lynched, I then learned about the "Keep Calm" meme. Cue rage comic face - your choice.

It was a serious risk for me to go it alone like I did but I felt like I could pull it off and I'm glad that I did for my team.
Thanks again for allowing me the opportunity to get back in the game, @notoriousnd22.

Looking back I tried to play a low radar kind of game, which seemed to have paid off since I only saw my name mentioned once in the mafia board. lol
Kind of kicking myself though on that final vote. Wondering what I could have done differently to have been more convincing.

Just so everyone knows, the reason I suspected JoNo of lying about being the JOAT after he claimed he protected himself during a night phase was that I, as the Town Doctor, had protected him that same night phase. So, it went like this:
1. I protect JoNo. 2. JoNo thanks someone for protecting him. 3. JoNo claims that he was the one who protected himself as JOAT.
That is what came off as suspicious to me, just in case anyone was wondering.

Looking back, if there's anything we really should've done differently, it's nightkilling JoMo. Thinking back, I think we stayed away from it thinking it'd put a stink on Brad or because we thought it too obvious; instead, us not doing anything didn't help us out at all.

I'm not too proud to admit that I was barking up the wrong tree near the end there. All three of my potential suspects turned out to be townies. So if I had survived I don't know if my decision would've been any better in the end.
Honestly I never even thought about Artificial Human as a suspect. He never popped up on my radar even once. Although come to think of it, it did seem kind of odd that he was still around at that point.
I think the move that really lost the game for us was Spartan hiding behind me on the night I was targeted. That was just some rotten luck on the town's part. It's far from the deciding factor of the game, but I think once that happened it really soured our chances by putting our backs against the wall.
Also, interesting that Yami investigated me first of all people. I'm certainly glad he did though since it made it alot easier to get people not to target me so I could help focus on trying to lead the town in the direction I felt was right.
In the end my game wasn't nearly as aggressive as I promised on Day One, but I would still that was one of my better games in terms of my instincts. Too bad most of them ended up being wrong.
Also, you did an awesome job as host, Notorious. I'd be glad to play another game under your guidance any day. Don't let the inactiveness bother you too much. That tends to happen with these larger games after awhile, it seems.

Decided to make a temporary celebratory avatar, name, and sig change for my character in this game.

As far as inactivity goes, SNS made interesting propositions in the hosting thread that could solve some of that.

@ notorious - solid game. Activity aside, it came down to the wire in the end. A game that can go either way in the end is a good game, even though it seems to always go in the mafia's favor. Looking back I tried to play a low radar kind of game, which seemed to have paid off since I only saw my name mentioned once in the mafia board. lol Kind of kicking myself though on that final vote. Wondering what I could have done differently to have been more convincing. Keeping low will allow you to stay in the game longer, but not actively scumhunting will not make others confident that you are town either, as seen in the final vote. Double edged sword.

First, I want to apologize for completely disappearing the 2nd time around. After I was first killed off, I completely forgot I agreed to replace Hawk Jefferson. I had (still have) other things going on personally that dominated my already sketchy memory (anyone who played in Batman Mafia will know what I'm talking about). I feel like being mod-killed effected Town's chances on winning, especially since I started to suspect that Mochi Lone Wolf could have possibly been scum when he replaced the already suspicious (in my book) Evil M (I was wrong about AH the first time, but I felt as a replacement, there was a better chance). But since I don't like judging the replacement based on the previous player's actions, it became a clean slate, unfortunately. Of course, I was immediately killed. Had I stayed alive a little longer, I would have most likely caught AH red-handed, in both of my Town roles. Sorry, Town. Great job, AH. As someone who has won a mafia game for their team as the Godfather before, I know that feeling of sweet victory. Hell, you even temporary changed your profile to match the character out of celebration like I did (Red Hood in Batman Hell on Earth), ha ha. And just curious, what rivalry do we have? It could make things pretty interesting in any future mafia games we participate in (as long as we're not on the Mafia side, although that would be pretty sweet too).

Damn you Mafia! Damn you! Sucks that the town lost another game, but this game was just weird for me. That's nothing against the way Notorious ran the game or anything, but it was just impossible for me to get a read. And, the one time I got a solid read, it ended up being against a townie (Magiconz). Overall; fantastic game to the lot of you, I just wish it would have had a different outcome. I think I'll sit out the next Mafia game as I'm burnt out*, but again congrats to all of you on a well played game. Also, this game marks the first time I'd ever been lynched - which sucks. Once that first vote comes in, even though I only needed a few against me, you just know that that's the beginning of the end. That really sucks. *That's the reason I was inactive a lot of the time. It had nothing to do with the way the game was ran or anything, I'm just burnt out on Mafia games and probably will be for a little while. I'd like to apologize for the inactiveness and hopefully you didn't take it personal, @notoriousnd22, from me or anybody else.

Yeah I'd definitely like to agree and state that I'm guaranteed that the inactivity had nothing to do with you, Notorious.
I think quite a bit of us have just gotten a bit burned out around the same time. That's one of the main reasons I'd strongly be in favor of SNS' new ideas which would severely reduce game time and create a new/higher expectation of player's activity.

I too was pretty burnt by the time I joined this game, and that was mainly due to Batman Hell on Earth alone (that game was freaking intense)! Joining another game so soon after that one was done, wasn't a smart move. I'm all for spacing these games out, not only to prevent stuff like this from happening again, but to also make these feel like a big deal. Plus, it won't allow others to quickly pick up on your strategies and how you play, making it considerably less predictable, and less easier for them to figure you out.

I loved this game. While i was wrong about Yami and AH v1, I feel like I helped steer town into ridding us of mafia and the SK. to be honest, brad was merely a strong hunch i had. At that point i felt that i could take a chance and push for his lynch. I was hoping he'd flip scum and mafia would have no choice but to kill me out of fear i was a power role.
One if the best games for me as a player i feel.

I do feel somewhat responsible for the activity, as I don't have consistent access to a laptop, so it took me longer than anticipated a few times to end and start new phases. I admit that I did feel my interest slip once it seemed like everyone else's had as well. The constant replacements made me really disappointed with everything, but I get that these things are a chore to keep up with, and there's no hard feelings anywhere around here. I just appreciate everyone giving me the opportunity to run a game, as I had been really looking forward to it.
What'd you guys think of the setup? In terms of 17 Town, 4 Mafia, and 1 Serial Killer, as well as the roles I chose? Hopefully you all thought it was fair.

That's something to consider regardless. The last two big games it came down to the wire and a matter of the wrong vote. Mafia could have lost TMNT or B2 by almost a coin toss.
However, they both came down to the Godfather. I ponder how a game without a Godfather would go.

However, they both came down to the Godfather. I ponder how a game without a Godfather would go. The way I see it: The Godfather is as integral a role in these games as the vanilla townie is. The Mafia needs a leadership figure, that's just the way it is. I see what you're saying though, but I think it's less about the Godfather itself and more about the powers the Godfather has, investigation and night-kill immunity especially. Removing or limiting this protection would certainly make things more interesting.

I don't know if it can be explained more than for some reason, our play styles make us butt heads a lot.
