[/quote] Well, no, I 100% did not throw the game. Given the impossibility of really reading the whole game, I was doing the best I could. Syceris had an F3 post that was vacillating all over the place and read to me as very hedgy. (The bit about "yog was 100% Town but now he's 55%",etc.) Starstream, on the other hand, just seemed to be so utterly without guile that I could not conceive of a N6 where she decided to leave me alone with her after I shaded her with my paltry previous participation. So, again, since I really couldn't read 300+ pages of game, I went with my gut. And obviously - I failed. But I actually kept bailing [i]on my own kid's birthday party [/i]to run to the computer to keep checking in to see if there were any updates/arguments/reactions to my vote to see what I could do... and... After I voted for Syceris, she posted this: [quote name="Syceris" date="2018-04-28 19:56:53" ] You are not stupid you know who mafia is . [/quote] I mean... my vote is on you and all you have to say is that I know who the mafia is? Wouldn't that mean... that... uh... y'know... I do want to apologize from the bottom of my heart, though. I was actually pretty much retired from Forum Mafia because I take this kind of thing way too hard. I feel absolutely terrible to sub into a game where the Townies worked so hard and put so much effort into it, only for some stupid rando to drop in at the eleventh hour and blow it. So... yeah. Feels real bad man. Stanari knows me to know how much of a punch in the gut it is. But I'd also like to thank her for inviting me in - her setups are always so incredibly beautiful, both visually and textually, that's it's a real pleasure just to witness one, let alone play in it. Thanks to everybody else that was able to tolerate by brief and useless inanity. I really hope I didn't ruin Mafia for some of you and that the newbies come back to give it another try. Thanks again everyone. [/quote] @yogsloth -hugs- you came in to a site you have never played on and ended up in a bad spot. You did awesome and we appreciate you subbed in at such a hard time! At the end of the day, it's a game. Would it have been nice to pull a town win out of this? Absolutely, but there's too many things that would have had to play out differently for town to win. You made the game fun to watch again when you subbed in. At this point, it doesn't matter. It was still fun no matter how it turned out, and that's what's important.

Hey there, guys! There were some rough patches but I hope overall everybody had fun :D

First off, I'd like to say: nearly everybody did fantastic and played their hearts out! Because festival games usually have a lot of nervous newbies, that isn't always the case, but the activity and dedication Stan and I saw was surprising and amazing. I sincerely hope you guys come back for more games that maybe aren't quite as intense as this one. (A beginner mafia should be running soon!)

Congrats to mafia and our 3p, but also congrats to town for running it so close! To be totally honest, I'd thought it was a lost cause after day 3 or so. I never expected it to come all the way to a final 3 :O Everybody involved should be proud.

I did write the town flavor and fakeclaims (I hope you guys enjoyed them!) but Stanari wrote the mafia and 3p flavor as well as all the EotDs, which is no mean feat. She also did... mostly everything else. So thank you, @Stanari! Also thank you to @Snowbelle for setup review and @Limelight for some preliminary planning (whar you go...)

@yogsloth, considering the fact that you subbed into a ~340 page game at the very last minute and were busy to boot: I don't blame you for anything and I very much hope nobody else does, either. Things would've been tough for anybody who had read everything, let alone in your situation... and of course @Starstream did a great job as well! Please, don't worry about anything.
(Also, you were really funny in a time we really needed funny!)

[quote name="Syceris" date="2018-04-29 05:17:30" ] Good morning ... Well that ending kinda left me with a bitter taste Nothing like ending 6 days of hell with a sub that throws it because they want to end the game . You could have used the event action and town would have got their win *sigh* oh well . That was a tough learnimg curve but I did my best and stick it out. Good job Mafia you guys played REALLY well and deserve the win . Well that was an interesting experience to say the least . There were some stand out people I am so glad I was able to meet and play with . And even the ones that were harder to handle I have nothing but compassion for . It cant be easy living in their head and their world . The chat room should be interesting to read :) [/quote] Yeah, as Varikset mentioned, lynch is resolved first and then wincons are checked, so it wouldn't have helped. I am so sorry that wasn't clear, and I think it affected the last day a lot. If you are bitter, please be bitter at me - it's my fault.

@Stanari

Its ok . I feel bad for my reaction. I do not understand the game mechanics. I was sure trying to learn as I went but its clear I have a huge lack of knowledge. I have already apologised to Yogi .I was looking at what happened with an inaccurate understanding of how actions were resolved. I am not bitter at all when I do get frustrated or upset it is usually fleeting and then I shrug it off. What a huge undertaking to host a game this big and complex.

Thank you all for making postgame a positive place to be, I appreciate it.

@yogsloth - hugs

[/quote] Nah, I understand, the last day of a game is always emotionally intense. Being able to shrug that off is an amazing trait for a mafia player. Thanks for being understanding <3

Everyone always kills me when I’m quiet HECK

But gg everyone, I really hope to see you newer guys in the future! You all did so well!

Mafia chat has been made public.
