I wasn't really waiting for a game to build trust with other players. Just one where people took a chance on me. People don't seem to realize, if I'm on you're side, you can trust me. I was just waiting for a game where I could live a few days and get a win. I haven't had a win since Mafia 11. I've never even had the chance to go far. I've hated games where I've done a fair bit of work for the win but die and can't claim victory. Frankly, you showed more trust than me. I had nothing to lose sharing my role. You did because of the consequences of my role.
You really were wise to head to me first, or at least, in your first wave. Like I said at the beginning, before we really started, I saw you in the Wornstrom role. I was almost certain you'd wind up with it this game. I don't know if TVman secretly hand-picked some roles, or what, but I had played out a few scenarios in my mind about what could happen with a connection like the one we made, and I think it worked out that you and I were on the same page: Identify and save every townie role, using your role as both a hub, and as something to keep you honest for the entire game. See, I knew that if we found just one or two other townie roles, and you 'defected,' that you would die the very next die from votes, and I know you knew it too. Although this is the route I had figured on, I still wasn't entirely sure if we could find other townie roles fast enough before you would get hit. In the end, I decided that even if you wound up in the mafia, I could still put up a convincing enough argument without any bonds with other players, since they were already looking to vote you out. Not only that, but I knew that would be able to reveal myself in that situation, and appeal to the Dr. to protect me, since it would be certain the mafia would know who I was at that point.
Anyways, things worked out, and we both had the same game plan, for the most part. While you could throw your role around and garner trust because everyone knew you didn't want to die, I would do some lesser scoping, for the safety of having investigations, and also, I spent most of my time pondering who to investigate (2/2 woo!!). Essentially, I was right, the number of letters in oohhboy's name can't be trusted, plain and simple.
For that bit, I formed did my best to form a list of players who seemed to always play suspiciously. Essentially, the list was Vudu, Dasmos, BlackFootsteps, oohhboy, and 18 Days. Not that I don't think everyone plays well, it was basically that I would have a hard time determining whether or not these players were townies, and if I thought they were townies, I thought that these people would be the toughest to get a role out of. If I had to go on, I'd probably add Zach and S-U-P-E-R, at least initially.
Anyways, Vudu was first, and successful. I feel bad for him, in that respect. It would have been much better to have found 18 Days at this point, just for fairness. On the next day, I wanted to vote BFS, because he seemed to be pressing me to find out who had particular jobs. Luckily, everyone else disagreed, but unfortunately for Dasmos, he was a townie caught in the line of fire. Still, two down, three to go for me. At this point, we were approaching night two, when BFS had basically revealed himself to Khush, so I moved on, to oohhboy. After that, we knew who all the role townies were, with 18 Days, oohhboy, and NuclearSpeed seemingly brains, and we all know what happened at that point.
Khush, do you have the first PM's you and I sent this game? I went through a couple hundred, I think, and ended up deleting those. I wanted to reread them, so if you do have them, do me a favor and send them back to me.
Edit: And yeah, I think it was a bit unfair for the Brains on this one. Perhaps we should start it over, and let everyone have their starting roles back. We could try to play this thing out again.
