Now that i have a clear vision about how everyone played, how and why they made the decision they made, i shall make my usual best/worst list - just like last game - if you don't care, disregard it. This is only my personal opinion and a thing i enjoy doing. You will be charged with all the risks and responsabilities for reading it.
Best Players:
1) TheJackofSpades: apart from the strategical prowess shown while playing, he has also been one of the best teammates one could ever had. Never disrespectful, never angry, even against the most common of mistakes. Almost no one saw through his scheme until the very end, and even then some were unsure.
2) vornksr: excellent reasoning skills, excellent style of play. Some of his lies have been seen trough, some of his guesses were wrong, but overall i think no one did a better job than him at playing his role. A shame that none of his vests were actually useful, but that's not his fault.
3) Raiden: i was reluctant about putting myself in this list, i usually don't like to be arrogant and overproud of myself, however i cannot find a more suitable candidate for the third place. Monster was the closest one, although the suspicion he created around himself got him killed in the end, while i managed to survive until the very end, against all odds. Also, if it wasn't for Auckmid, we would have had great chances to win this game, and although a lot of merit is on Jack's side, overall i feel my performance was a success. You might invoke "pure luck" on Spy's claim, but truth is he was one of three candidates (monster being the first one, but he died the same day). Imagine what could have happened if the jester was still alive on day 5.
Honorable mentions for: monster, as i already said, was a great player. If hiding Rumpel was actually his idea, he would be joining the podium. I wish i could put Narks here, for having guessed all the right mafia, but in the end i really did not appreciate his desperate trolling, without even trying to defend himself. He could have survived that day, although the town is mostly to blame.
Oh, i almost forgot Crimson. He played only 1 day. And he won within 1 day. GG man. We'll see in the next game if you are worth of being among the tops.
Best Team:
De Luca mafia. I already explained exhaustively why i think so. We saw our mafioso dead by day 1, and went as far as almost winning the game. And even then, losing it was not our fault. We couldn't possibly have done more than this.
Honorable mention for the Masons, all of them played very well at some point. I really didn't like the code stuff, but that's just meta. Look into our night chat to see some proper codes to use in this game, if you agree with me.
Worst Team:
Romano mafia. By far. Just look at their night chat to see what i mean. They fought among themselves, they accused each other, and they couldn't agree even on the simplest of things, such as their last will. They blocked and killed the wrong targets. Their only success was framing Clawtrocity, since oops was really pure luck.
No honorable mentions here. The cult did not do wrong, they were just REALLY unlucky. Both Spy and False could have played better, but in the end they lost mostly because of extreme bad luck. Town did fine, had its ups and downs.
Worst Players:
1) Auckmid: not much to say, he didn't get even one thing straight in this game. He didn't go along with his teammates (although there are also other reasons for this), he went for the wrong kills and his guesses were mostly wrong. Didn't learn much from the last game.
2) Northstar: worst gunsmith ever, really. I wouldn't have given him the second-to-last place, if only he didn't give his last gun to FalseTruth. I mean come on. He didn't pay enough attention to the game despite playing a crucial role. Luck was not on his side, but then again the only gun he successfully delivered was used by a mafioso to shoot a mason.
3) SAS: If i were him, i would have revealed by day 3. He would have most certainly died, but at least town would have unraveled the investigator mistery. He even had the most important results by that day. In the end, he screwed up everything by PM-abuse and not checking for the Romano mafioso.
Honorable mention for Goonswarm here, because honestly, clearing one of the two other sheriff claims as "innocent" (keep in mind narks claimed first) while not thinking he could be the executioner was kinda faulty. At least he properly checked a bad guy next night, even though he wasn't supposed to find him. I would like to mention McPwnage here, too. His greatest mistakes were not healing Goonswarm, although he saved the town from a potentially very dangerous culted sheriff, and not using his armor the day he died.
Host: I must say i really loved how Elixir conducted this game. Despite the day 2 mistake, everything else was just great. I also loved how he partecipated in the night and dead chats. I can only wish to see such dedication from the next hosts.
Again, feel free to disregard or disagree with my list. This is 100% my personal opinion about the game and no offence is intended. If you believe you can learn something from my analysis, i will be happy to have contributed.
