And with that, ladies and gentlemen, Game VII draws to a close. Thank you all for welcoming me back to the role of Game Master, and playing along with my little narrative. I’ll see you all again in the future.
For the meantime however, we must say a temporary goodbye. All large-scale Gameboards, like Mafia, will now be put on hold until the conclusion of the Higanbana Bookclub! Please let myself and @Aspirety know if participation in this game caused any conflicts or hold-ups if you were also planning to read and participate in that, we need that data for the future.
The reason we didn’t go after obviously-azure picto is that we concluded that we needed him around to accelerate the human demise.
We figured they’d expect the Crimson witches to go after them, so we figured that by defending picto they’d shoot for other people. With them spoiling half the twist of the gameboard right away post we also thought the humans were in too good a position for us to go after Azures that soon. Killing the detective/protector had priority. (not that we guessed well there)
Also would have made for a good distraction, but alas, then I was spontaneously killed in my sleep.
Honestly, I have to give props to both Witch Teams for how adaptable and clever they were with the setup they were given, because they both defied my expectations immensely.
@pictoshark in particular, even though it was a massive mistake on his part, had the most incredible recovery with spinning the idea that their team was an Ally Third-Party and the other team were the “real” villains. The idea that someone could even do that never occured to me while planning the match, and I’m legitimately super impressed by how well he did with it.
And even though @EternalMagician was the one to pull it off, both teams realized the potential of using the kill negation rule as a way to save themselves.
So, really, well done. You may have lost but you performed amazingly with the tools you were given.
I mean it doesn’t feel that unusual for picto to pull stunts like that so I wasn’t really that surprised to see it. Thought he was trying to figure out who we were through reactions or something.
I never considered it might just have been a mistake.
Congradulation to especially @FlareNetworkC@BunnyAdvocate and @Zepfur for winning a game as human side on their first game, really impressed by you guys.
When I said this I was actually trying to make Bunny tell everyone I was a human before the nightphase ended, which I would then point out means they aren’t the detective as if they were they would’ve got the PM at Phase end.
Hence why I said “it’s a totally really amazing plan”. Get the first letters of the last four words and you get “it’s a TRAP”.
Yes, I did suspect Bunny. No, it didn’t matter in the end because everyone seemed to ignore the post.
Anyway nice work everyone. Didn’t see picto misplaying being the reason he did that at the start coming at all, but whatever.
Oooh, I was confused by this at the time. I thought maybe I’d only gotten the investigate result at the end of the nighttime phase because I’d waited so long to pick who to investigate, and if I did it earlier, maybe Rabla would send me the result sooner. So that last night I sent my investigate PM asap so I could hopefully get a reply before the end of the night phase and tell everyone.
