Whew. That D3 disaster had me alternating between facepalming and laughing hysterically. I really didn't see Cellion as the last scum with the way Wheat acted on D1. I was pretty surprised when I asked Iso if Seppel was the one who killed me and he said no.
GG everyone. I'm sure glad I replaced in so I could catch Wheat before everyone started thinking he was too townie to lynch.
Especially with no cop in the setup. Good thing Stardust followed Cellion and not Seppel like I suggested, or this could have gone sideways pretty quickly. Good job not listening to me, Stardust!
Everything scares me... kitties scare me... squirrels scare me... corpses....corpses bring forth a pletora of confusing feeling which i prefer not to dwell on...:p

Seppel because I assumed experienced players would be the only ones targeted over doc and he had been attracting attention to himself at the end of day 1.
Silver because the scum were too far behind to let PRs stay alive anymore.

If anyone has feedback for me, it'd be greatly appreciated, as always. I didn't really know what I was doing with the doublevote D1, so I was kind of more using vote x1 as a "FoS" of sorts to apply pressure where I felt it was necessary. Then I liked Stardust's idea of using the 2nd vote as the hammer vote. It probably wasn't great that my doublevote kind of forced too many people to claim on Day 1, but it seems like it worked out -- from reading the scum chat, it seems like they had a lot of trouble with the number of confirmed town from Day 1.
Otherwise, though, beyond my role, I didn't think I did too badly. Probably my best game yet, from my perspective anyway. I felt like I was actively doing things, and that my reads were better than they had been in the past. At the same time, I was never under pressure this game, ever, because of my role -- so I was free to actually focus on offense and not worry about defending myself constantly.
Oh, also, how did everyone think I did with the length of my posts? That was one of Dan's major commentaries for me from the last league game -- my too-long posts were getting glazed over too often. I've been making a conscious effort to be more concise, I swear =/

I learned a lot this game, but felt really boxed in by the speed of the game and the fact that I couldn't post during the day when most other people were posting.
I've got some more comments, but they'll have to wait until I get off work this evening.
When Caex posted, I was surprised that you were scum, Misting. I didn't think your rage was Silver Rage, but decided to highlight it as a reminder.
Now I know better.
As for how to improve... you actually did pretty well. Don't judge the effectiveness of your ability on how well you do in a game. Sometimes being ineffective is better, because it eliminates suspects.
Yeah Misting, you weren't totally useless. You cleared 22bebo. I actually PM'd Iso saying I wanted to report on 22bebo, then reread and changed my mind. Everyone thinks I'm scum (take Megiddo's comment in the spec chat, for example), so you don't need to feel bad about that either.
This game was fun, but very stressful! Playing as scum is a lot harder (at least for me) than playing as town was. Particularly because its a lot less clear what exactly you need to do in thread in order to put your team down the path to winning. It also did not help that my team mates were getting picked off left and right :/
Also... for some reason I was dead set on Stardust being a Vig. It just made sense to me based on the roles I'd seen. But when I redirected him and nothing happened, for some reason that I can't work out now, I just decided that Town must have only 3 power roles. Beats me how I reached that conclusion, but eh. Seeing him pop in on the last Day and reveal his PR after I'd just decided to not redirect was a huge facepalm moment.
I found myself with a lot of questions and no one to ask them to. I think I'll try to get a mentor for my next game in case I get a scum role again.
Does anyone have any particular suggestions/tips for how I could have used my redirect on the last 2 days, knowing what I'd know at the time?
That day 3 and start of day 4 were leading down the only path that could result in a town loss.
I was going into Day 3 stressing out about how I could get 3 specific mislynches (Stardust, bebo, Misting) in a row without being obviously scummy and coming up with no good ideas. Then when I checked the thread for the first time after Day 3 started: Free mislynch and N3.
If anyone has feedback for me, it'd be greatly appreciated, as always.
Obviously your read on me was spot on from the get-go, so there's that! It seemed to me that you were often on the right track with your reads, but you didn't pressure people as hard as the more experienced players. I felt like I got off light after your initial case on me, for example.

Also, as someone who's seen the entirety of Zoids, why the hell did you pick Wardick? Why not something like Berserk Fury, or Geno Breaker, or if you wanted to go truly giant/pants-on-head-retarded, Death Saurer / Ultra Saurus? So many better options than silly ass Wardick lol

That means you only saw New Century Zero, and not the original two (which were much, much better overall....although still cheesy as all hell at moments).
Put another way, when the Fury destroys 3 Geno Saurers effortlessly in NCZ, that's supposed to be absolutely horrifying. NCZ never provided the context, though, sadly -- only people who saw Chaotic Century actually understood how absurd that was. I wish that the whole franchise wasn't a heaping mess, because I always thought it was a cool concept, and they did a much better job with it in Genesis.
But yeah, if you only ever saw NCZ, then that's understandable.

Bad, bad Iso.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
The game is not being dumbed down. Control is doing fine; Draw-Go is not the only kind of control. Aggro is doing fine; Red Deck Wins is not the only kind of aggro. Creature combat is an important core concept and belongs in every color. Mythic rarity is not destroying the game. People whine too much for no good reason. Magic is more popular than ever, so keep calm, brew some decks and play some damn cards.

GG everyone. I'm sure glad I replaced in so I could catch Wheat before everyone started thinking he was too townie to lynch.
Especially with no cop in the setup. Good thing Stardust followed Cellion and not Seppel like I suggested, or this could have gone sideways pretty quickly. Good job not listening to me, Stardust!

Seppel because I assumed experienced players would be the only ones targeted over doc and he had been attracting attention to himself at the end of day 1.
Silver because the scum were too far behind to let PRs stay alive anymore.
Excellent call on protecting Silver.

And the one time I'm actually scum too.
No offense intended; DYH is probably the strongest player here, especially when he's got the force of being confirmed behind him.
You're welcome!

Vote Cellion.
Well, I was pretty useless. Apparently i need some serious work getting my scumdar tuned. I never blocked scum :gonk:.
How can I improve?
Now I know better.
As for how to improve... you actually did pretty well. Don't judge the effectiveness of your ability on how well you do in a game. Sometimes being ineffective is better, because it eliminates suspects.
Awwwww thanks!
What about my play was so towny? Like, I came in, and basically everyone thought I was town right off the bat. It was awesome.
