Every minute of this game was designed to stress me out. Given that we were supposedly 'secret', I was expecting us to be a less powerful faction than Magma, so had to maintain a really daft balance to maintain myself against both town and Magma. Kilga gets Most Awesome Person award for keeping me sane, as what really frustrated me was getting constantly hit for stuff I would have done either way (I spent most of my time scum hunting) and having my arguments ignored out of hand. I stand by every last thing I said on the matters at the time (Meeple's day 2 case on me in particular was rageworthy), and would have gone crazy by now had it not been for Kilga hitting the right buttons. I'm only surprised that the decisive blow against me (Excal rolecopping me) was from being balanced too far towards town than scum.
It's all good now. Water under the bridge and all that.
My plan for the game was always doomed to failure, as it had been for me to go down in flames relatively early on, taking a Magma member out with me if one hadn't already gone, and have Delta trained to act sufficiently well to pull out the win at the end on the basis that people overlook him far too much. Unfortunately for this plan, Delta was ill for practically the whole time and we were barely in contact enough to get the NK out in time, let alone discuss long term tactics, I didn't account for Delta's scum tells to be quite so apparent, and as well as I thought I had attached myself to Alex, who I actually suspected of being Magma a fair bit (albeit hardly sure, and I had nothing on Excal), and thought he'd go down if I did, he very neatly saw through that and axed the link directly. I'd hoped to make it to day 3 before overbalancing, but hey.
Rat: I was looking for the cop, who at that point I still expected to have multiple shots. I'd harbored really irrational beliefs that Bardiche was the cop (but not attacking anyone on the basis of a scan) that started when he used the phrase 'cop out' (I know I know I know I know) and grew in a hideous paranoid twist over the day, but convinced myself by the end of the day that it wasn't actually likely. I know you've been quieter in the last few games, but you best fit the profile I was looking for, with the off-chance that you might have been Magma as well, which tweaked it over the other choices.
Bard ninja: for what little it's worth, I never told Delta about my paranoid idea about you being cop, so his rationale is unrelated to the above (this is the first I've heard of him wanting to kill you night 1).
