What a crazy game! Congrats to all the Mafia winners, and a special mention to ShyGuy who really earned it.
TOPHATANT123, why are you talking as if you lost? You won the game brah, strut your stuff!
So wait, if TOPHATANT123 is the doctor and already knew ThePerm was the investigator, that makes the events of day 3 all the more confusing to me. Why would he withdraw his vote on Crimm to tie up ThePerm in votes with Crimm and No Vote? This made ThePerm vulnerable to anyone who could swoop in and plop a vote on ThePerm. As a matter of fact, I was about to do just that, but I changed my mind at the last minute after seeing a PM from ThePerm. I wonder how things would have gone from there otherwise...
Thanks for hosting Khushrenada!
Not to mention this part in the rules.
They cannot protect or save anyone from the Day Vote.
So if the Vote Master decided to save Crimm over Perm then a doctor's protection wasn't going to save Perm in a vote.
A win by technicality, but you're right a win nonetheless.
On day 3 my rationale was that I didn't want to associate myself with the detective if I didn't have to. So I went with abstention with the possibility of switching to a no vote if needed. After day 3 though I stopped dancing around it and just joined the no votes.
What I meant before is that if I had gone into the endgame with stacked protections instead of using them, I could have saved Order, ThePerm and myself from recruitment and the game would have been a victory for the townies. Unless Order had duped us and was really the godfather.
