Other there where a top 1 dgz vote and a top BuJ vote.
So could we just follow through before the afk people get back because then we will go back to argue if we going to lynch skoffin blacky or someone else for 5 weeks...
@dgz, I agree with most of what you've said as stated. However, I fear that BuJ is scum. That's my issue. I don't know with whom, but something's off. I'm going to vote blacky now to end my misery (and you'll see BuJ hammer and perhaps win the game for scum).

vote blacky
Only way BuJ wins is that you or strike is scum. And right now I'm like w/e
@BuJ do not vote blacky if one of the afk comes back.
I was actually exceedingly genuine in this game until day 3 when i just didnt care any more. :p. You just didnt like me because I didnt go with the no lynch plan.

I didn't actually read a lot of the stuff you guys posted after day 2 so maybe this is inaccurate, but it seemed like most of you assumed the AWOL players were more likely to be scum. This seems like a really faulty theory to me (albeit my reasons are a bit metagamey). Scum would be the most motivated to keep playing, therefore the most motivated to post during every game day. They're the only ones who know anything beside their own role. I think you guys can now all attest to the fact that power roles are fun to play, and gathering information through them makes the game more fun and interesting. The town in this game has nothing to go on, I am not at all surprised and honestly do not blame any of you who kinda gave up. Except Skoffin, of course.
Regarding the gameplay, I don't think it was a good idea to push the no lynch day 1 so fast. I think it was already clear before the game started that there was gonna be a no lynch on day one. All the math had been brought out. You guys knew there was gonna be a night kill though, so you were basically condemning someone to have played one game day without discussing anything meaningful. I think more discussion on day one would have improved town's chances, if only so they had a foothold on day 2. That's the thing that you guys were really missing: arguments, cases, strong reasons to be suspicious of players that convince others to vote with you. The only way you can get those in this game is just by talking, doesn't even matter what about.
All in all the game kinda went as I expected it to. Like I said I am not surprised people got disinterested or demotivated. This game was kind of an experiment, I guess, to see how you fare without power roles to carry the town. I think you did good, all things considered. It's simply very hard to get a grip on the other players when nothing out of the ordinary happens. In the closed setups we've been playing the past few games, there's always been some sort of unexpected or weird role that gets everyone theorizing about the setup, or gets people suspicious about claims or actions. There needs to be a bone to throw the town, a clue to solve the puzzle. And I think that's fair enough.
What do you guys think? Do you have any comments about the setup, things you liked, things you hated? What do you think about the need for power roles?
First and foremost, thanks for hosting, aage. Despite my hands in the air towards the end, I did enjoy the "town has nothing to go on" game because it feels like genuine mafia rather than "I don't know, let's hope some PRs get lucky." That said, it's really important that people actually play. Too many people didn't. And while aage seems to think it's understandable that people lost interest, I don't. Why sign up if you're not going to okay? It's not like the game mechanics were obscure. (I understand that real life can get in the way, though.) Moreover, I didn't necessarily find that the AFKs were scum.
To me, this feels like a win because I had BuJ pegged as scum, and I would've voted him if it wasn't for the fact that I knew that we couldn't get four people in here to vote (especially knowing that SW would've never voted for him - I didn't think SW was scum, though).
Anyway, thanks for hosting. I wouldn't mind doing a similar game if people would actually participate.
I do regret one part of my strategy in this game. Ive kinda noticed from past games thar when people dont follow Pikas strategies, he eventually seems to get frustrated and lose interest in making arguments. It was intentionally a part of our strategy to make Pika less productive to town.
