Yeah, your vote is one of the reasons I definitely didn't want to do it. As if, y'know, I didn't have
enough billboards stapled to my forehead by the end there.
The final out I tried, of all wolves being dead, was just absolute desperation. In theoretical terms it's a sound strategy, I think. But the rules completely kill(ed) it out of the gate... I did
not expect Fool's Requiem to be the one to point it out. But props to him, he did good.
The game was effectively over at the end of Day 2; I know TD and I were basically 100% certain that Vash was the Werewolf Fan and Raposa was the Solo Killer. With Solo Killer dead, and having made no kills, it is literally impossible for wolves to win this gametype with role claiming being so prevalent. Even the handful of kills under Confusion Wolf influence barely moved the needle. There are only ever 3 slots; making competing claims is functionally a game of whack-a-mole while simultaneously legitimizing and solidifying an opposing force. Wolves with their single nightly kill, which can be blocked in a variety of ways, can't out-gun it.
And more credit where it's due: Vash
role claiming Werewolf Fan as the Arsonist is some ballsy shit.
Correct. If you look at the thread with the knowledge that Vash is either the Serial Killer or the Arsonist, you immediately find yourself staring at a large table. A fucking hit list. With conveniently marked names!
I assumed - hoped - all 4 listed were about to perish, but only Holly did. If you notice there are only 3 Arsonist kills, so I assume Vash had doused someone like Cole on Night 0 as a precaution. If he had doused Kat she still would've died through her own protection; poor Alu burnt to death in his jail cell!
Unfortunately, likewise. Everything I posted publicly - leaving work early, trying to juggle cooking dinner and replying to folks - was 100% true. I was spending minimally 3 hours every day trying to make the most of it, to give the town a worthy opponent, so everyone could have a good time.
It's fun. I don't regret it. But it's very, very draining and at the very least I personally cannot sustain that very long.
