I’m comparing that in utility level to literally every other town player and coming up short. Aside from Knightwing, who kinda got a raw deal too.

Still a good game overall. I got some good practice in hunting town.

I think you're underselling yourself. If I hadn't done the self-embargo trick, which was a pretty risky and clever play in my opinion, then you would've had me d2. You roleblocked me on a no-kill night.

The fact that I talked myself out of it doesn't mean your role was any less effective, I think.

Yes, but you'd assumedly be using these Abilities on people you suspect. The watch/target combined just requires figuring things out, plus being able to target within the Embargo means you could see if anyone targeted your target... Ya know, because only Mafia can!

I think your role was more niche than weak. It had things it could do well, but it was scary to use them.

Knightwing's role was an unfortunate accident because I had a stupid Ability before I had to change it that isn't worth explaining. This incarnation was better for everyone, and yes, that does include the Ruler power, so that should explain enough.

Also, you guys should consider joining Demon Mafia so that can start!
I need a cooling off period between games. My preferred D1 style is really energy-draining and I don't think I can do it for back-to-back games.

Apparently my town game was fairly weak, but that's what I get for being long out of practice.

Lidku was fairly obvious to me, but other then a vague suspicion at the start of the game, max kinda flew under my radar, especially with the muppet scandal. So, GG. Fair play. I’m wise to your tricks now though… 👀

Once Lidku flipped I guess none of us considered he would have been bold enough to crane his scumbuddy first, huh?

FallacyofUrist has been executed.

FallacyofUrist was Always Scum (Town).

But...how?

The narrative force of irony 'Always Scum being Town' was greater than the narrative force of 'Fallacy is always scum'

Uh... I just gave it a bunch of Abilities that were kinda weaker than average, but had the potential to be strong if things worked out. I didn't really think about anything other than your Abilities spelled out BYOR2.

You assume I know how to play town.

This was my first town game in forever. I doubt I'll be town again unless I submit a similarly ironic role next time, unfortunately.

Which isn't how probability is supposed to work, but you know, this is the first time I've been town in a webadict game in years, so I think I'm allowed to say that probability is biased against me being town.

To be honest I just mentally discarded the possibility of you being scum after Day 2.
