Complaints aside, Good Game to everyone!
First I want to say, sorry for getting worked up and pissy - at that point scum had effectively contaminated the thread presence
It was extremely difficult trying to pinpoint and weed down PoE from D1 and most of D2 as well
@Flower you played well in the beginning, I managed during D2 to place you into the PoE at first because I thought there was a possibility you were scum with RA. But after having gone through the claims and everything I realized there was a very big chance RA was just a vanilla townie.
Also with Ekko having flipped Busser and Kiku being confirmed Lightning Rod I figured if anyone had been miscleared it was you.
The logic was that if 2 out of 3 known chaos roles are already known to be town, then you are likely a scum chaos role.
Then, although I'll admit I didn't really actively notice it myself when I was alive - but you had a LOT of activity excuses going on, like "headache", "fever" - etc. etc.
It started to create a pattern where you always had a plausible cause for absence.
Your vote on me had little to no reason behind it, and you trying to blatanly write off my deduction from the WU's which were already confirmed to be true - I.E Yoho's vig shot and Kiku's LR
I felt more confident in your slot being PoE, fortunately for you people didn't really catch on immideately
Anyways well played, and good game!

@Ratchet you got dealt a terrible hand and you played it beyond what it should have been able to, massive kudos to that. You managed to manipulate people long enough to deal maximum damage. For me personally I knew something was really off when you wanted to push me for some really vague and weird reason.
What I also noticed was that you were always trying to spin my posts against me, whether that was to say "I didn't adress your concern" or if you were trying to put words in my mouth as to make me annoyed.
Also, when I asked you for reads and you were stalling I got even more confident with you not being town, especially when you uttered the words "a lot will depend on your flip". That sentence in my eyes should have been a dead giveaway for ANYONE that you never had any intention of suicide bombing that night. Those were not the words of a dying man, those were the words of a man who was caught slacking off.
But, even so, you managed even after my flip to convince RA and Yoho to vote a No-Lynch, which should have been impossible, you pulled through. So I guess I can't say anything but well fucking played!

@Rej You were automatically on the PoE because you were very sporadic in your appearances throughout the game, and as such put you in a very vulnerable position. Luckily for you there were other slots that kind of came in the same category; Namely RA and Michelle - with michelle probably being the most consistent out of the 3.
I did think some of what you had to say was good, you made me doubt Yo Tan with his tracker claim, so well played to that!
Your Reviver claim was extremely ballsy, but it should have been very clear that since you weren't Killed, attempted killed or had any revives to show for that you were most likely lying about your claim.
Either way, glad you played!

@Yo Tan Wa You were a champ this game, unfortunately I got swallowed in scum's game, and made a terrible mistake in self hammering. It was probably the wrost possible outcome for Town at that stage. Yours and Fuji's absence at those hours were sorely felt, and I made a terrible jdugement.
But outside of that, I think you were on top of your game - you were very easy to find as town, but Rej had managed to plant a seed of doubt that made me have you in the PoE by virtue of tracker having a possibility of being a scum role.
As I said in a post before I took my leave, I did say that based on the fact you were more or less the only person with reason enough to resist my wagon that you should probably be taken off the PoE on that merit alone.
And once you were off my PoE, I had actually just managed to find every single scum in the game.
Thanks for playing though, it was really enjoyable playing with you, well played my friend!
I hope to see you around!

@Fujishiro You were also a titan this game, we both made mistakes this game, and I'll not harp on too much on it. You were right about a lot of things, including Ratchet D1. And funnily enough our roles reversed in D2 where you were the one willing to give Ratchet a chance and I was vehemently against it.
We both made mistakes, but let me say this before anything else; It made me really happy to see you playing and engaging with the game, there's been a period where you've barely been engaging with the games you've played - and so it gave me great joy to share this playing field with you!
You were extremely easy to find as town, but with the Ratchet thing I had a very deep tinfoil that said you were aligned with Ratchet - but I found that scenario extremely extremely unlikely and were that to be the case it was already GG.
Very well played!
--
@Kiku you were able to secure your place in the town core quite easily with your Lighning Rod, but outside of that I do think your engagement with the game were minimal.
If you didn't have such a clear and obvious confirmation, I think you'd probably be mislynch material.
That being said though, you putting your foot down in D3 along with Yo Tan and Michelle was absolutely beautiful, and so if for nothing else than that I commend you for your Town Service!
Well played!

@Random Asshole On thread play I think your performance left something to be desired, but fortunately for you I had managed to piece the puzzle together and had you as town. This was through mechanics and also conjectures based on the game, on play you were impossible to pin.
You allowing Ratchet to live D3 with the No-Lynch was abyssmal, and quite unexpected.
Unfortunately for you, nobody cared to look through my legacy and shit to figure you were just town. But likewise, you didn't do anything about it either.
Anyway, GG

@Yoho from my PoV I felt like you were barely paying attention to the game, and felt like your head was somewhere else. It's for that reason I've kind of been a bit snappy with you this game; it kind of got me worked up and annoyed - it comes from a place of love for the game. I don't want to treat you like a noob anymore, you've played quite a handful of games by now, and I want to see you improve.
Like I said in the dead chat; I want you to become a dependable ally and a worthy foe.
The only issue as I said, I feel like you're kind of not in the game most of the time.
Like I tried to have you reason why you thought voting me was a good idea, the whole purpose of that was to get you to think. If you are able to vocalize your reason, if you can listen to your own reason and if you think it's actually as reasonable as you think in your head - etc.
And just as a final time, you should have realized just by reading the interaction between Ratchet and me and realize that Ratchet had a clear agenda of trying to get rid of me - no matter the cost. Though, the issue was that he didn't really have a strong case - or any case at all if you ask me. You let Ratchet and Flower sway you with their sweet honey words, which I honestly don't blame you for - both of them (esp. Ratchet) are masterclass manipulators.
So I'm sorry for leashing out on you, it does come from a good place.
And I think you had your moments where you were showing your potential, albeit you were quite misguided
All in all, I want to say good game, well played!
I hope you find the joy in these games, and play with us, you're improving every game and I am glad you're with us. So again, don't take my ranting too personal!

@Michelle You were the SK, and you played quite well in the thread given the position you were in.
Tonally and generally I thought you sounded quite towny, though the biggest detractor were definitely your activity levels. It felt like even though you showed up, you didn't really participate that much - most of the time.
You were kind of just coming by once in a while to remind us that you do in fact exist.
But, that aside the real only reason you were on my PoE was just numbers, which I'll be honest you were the least suspicious of my suspects, but you were there nontheless just because I could not make an argument with myself where I found any plausible errors in my PoE at the time. As it turns out, that was for the very reason because I had actually pinned every single non-town in my PoE.
Though on paper Yo Tan were still on my PoE legacy - I did make a note that clearly said that I believe because of his last appearance in my lifetime that he should be taken off. And at that point my PoE was Ratchet/ Rej/ Flower/ Michelle
Either way, like I mentioned in the dead chat; you were quite pleasant to play with, and I honestly deeply understand your frustration with the activity levels in these games - I felt it quite well myself this game.
The problem isn't the amount of posts in the thread, but rather the general feel of the thread and the overall engagement by the playerlist as a whole.
There were a few slots whose silence was defaning, and really hurt town's overall ability to take control of the thread.
But, negativity aside, again; Thank you so much for playing, it was a blast!
Good game, and well played!
You did the best you could!
