Wow, I'm really pleased you put this up. I just saw the game on xbox live arcade a few days ago, and thought, "I should really get Alacar's opinion on this before I spend my money."
But I didn't know what I would do to get ahold of you since you seem to have abandoned your IM personas. (Or maybe its just that I all but have as well and keep missing you *shrug*)
Anyway, back to the topic... I skipped over a big chunk in the middle for fear of spoilers, and thanks to your very well written review, I'm going to go buy this game first thing tomorrow morning.

@tom I’m willing to discuss it more after the game if you want.
I think you’re over-valuing the difference in the votes made by my self-vote. They can still say what everyone has been saying since I claimed, and in fact, people still are, “well KK is the best/only lynch today.”
I’m really not seeing a difference besides not forcing 1 more person to state their reason for voting me. Literally everyone has said they’re willing to vote me though and why already. Why not make sure there isn’t a no-lynch?
I’m willing to admit I could be wrong, you have more experience than me. But I’m confident enough in my opinion to disagree, and you won’t convince me otherwise before deadline.
I’m not down for town flailing to save myself, or pretending my reads are stronger than they are either.
I’m confident we get more out of Th is as town by taking things slowing and rationally.
Who else is there? Megs I’m still pretty bull on besides the thing I pointed out. His wagon stance isn’t a strong piece of evidence though. They could just be his natural town thoughts that happen to have a negative interpretation.
feeling more town on Rhand than before. I found myself unconsciously talking to him like wrong town in our back and forth earlier. I think that means something.
Vaimes reads very uncomfortable and scared to me since his whole “overreacting” argument with Rhand. I also feel like he’s the most suspicious vote on the fast Rhand wagon earlier. He’s way less active atm too.
Vezok, I feel like vez taking such a strong stance on me when I’m basically the guaranteed to flip reads as either town playing poorly or smart scum trying to be one note. More likely the former. I hate how vez has the least posts in the game without ever being v/la, and that’s probably been influencing my read in the past.
@Last: Excuse me, but my wincon says the town lynches the scum. I am in no way essential. I played to survive until it was not optimal. There is no reason to farm more info for the scum team by rushing out claims at this point.
Catch all the lying scum, etc
I’m not promoting poor town play just to save my life. I still see myself as the correct lynch because of the deadline. Nothing short of 100% confirmed scum will change that this late in the Day.
I don’t like Megs stance on this. Either of us could be scum separately or we could both be scum? Looks like scum looking for chain mislynches to me. And he seems to be using his previous statements of Tom pocketing him to jump on the wagon with no reasoning of his own. Plus, his stance on me has gone from waffling to certain out of nowhere. I still don’t think it’s worth switching wagons though.
I want people to look closer at Vaimes after my flip. I think he’s acting very different since his argument with Last and I don’t like it.
vote KoolKoal
I wouldn’t quite say I want out, but I’ve seen some rl benefits to it.
I don’t need to be alive to win the game, I need the town to lynch the scum.
If I somehow survive or change who gets lynched, I’m still seen as scummy and probably lynched Day 2 unless something else clears me.
Frankly, I don’t think my reads are good enough to make a fuss about staying in the game now that I’m the objectively best lynch (outside of someone being 100% outed scum, which is highly unlikely to happen before deadline)
Pushing my teammates to play poorly just so I can stay in the game seems bad to me.
Again, my tune would be different if the deadline weren’t on the doorstep.
Also, the idea of not playing mafia while rl stuff that’s making me touchy sounds pretty nice. Plus my 3 week trip I’m leaving for on Saturday sounds a lot less stressful without having to keep up with the game.
I’m not sure enough about anyone for it to be worth pushing for more claims, not without another week added to the deadline. No point in pushing if I don’t know I’ll hit scum.
I’ll give my parting reads sometime tomorrow then self vote if necessary.
Vanilla town.
