I was Koopa Troopa. Lucario revealed that in the Day 3 story and I messaged him to edit the story but wasn't sure who might have seen it. Pokepal148 had just been eliminated and saw that and made a couple posts asking Lucario if he just gave away my role but Lucario quickly deleted those too.
So, basically, I was just the back-up investigator in case Lakitu aka TofuFury was eliminated which means I did no actual investigating. Not that I needed to. TofuFury kicked butt with his investigations. Basically, I was just a verified townie since at least I had a role. This was a most unexpected game. With two killers and a mafia and a vote, the fact that only two townies died while both killers and a mafia got eliminated in that time span is incredible. Part of that was chance and luck for sure.
Apdude's vote for TOPHATANT123 proved to be a great bit of fortune. Not sure if Insanolord used his ability that day or not since Mop it up had voted for Stratos making it a 1 vs 1 tie. In either case, either a mafia member or a killer was going to be eliminated in that scenario but removing a killer on the first day and preventing a hit was big. And yet, the mafia took out the doctor on that day 1 which I thought would be a huge blow to the townies and I felt for sure would mean I'd be getting a hit my way.
Earlier in the week, I had been looking up some Waluigi images to try and find a fun avatar for the game. It brought up a lot of funny or weird images so I wanted to post them in the game to celebrate the great Waluigi before I was eliminated. With the doctor now gone, I decided to up my picture game since I didn't expect to be around much longer. That started my running joke of trying to find a winning avatar each day for the avatar contest. I had originally planned to switch my avatar each day before from my image search but that gave me a motivation to do so with the game. The first day I was also holding back a bit and waiting for another person to at least post after I made a post so as not to dominate the thread. With the doctor gone, I figured screw waiting and just started image dumping. It seemed to be popular enough or at least tolerated enough for players not to vote for me so I felt more at ease doing so as the game went on and not worrying about dominating the game with my posts.
What I found weird this game is how players didn't want to pile on or bandwagon another player. So, Day 2 had a bunch of players with 1 vote. As soon as pokepal148 gave a player a second vote, he was pounced on by Stogi and that started a bit of action although even then, it was limited as though everyone was afraid that making a second vote on a player would make them suspicious. Yet, when the two majority votes were pokepal148 and stevey, I found it rather funny as I consider them both threats to me since they seem to take delight in targeting me a lot. Insanolord also likes jumping on a Khushrenada bandwagon so with the tie situation unclear, I threw him a vote in case all three might have gotten eliminated. My only regret this game is not voting for pokepal148 that day and bandwagoning him out. With stevey being downright friendly to me by not voting for me, I really was wondering if I should return the favor and vote pokepal but pokepal was also leaving me alone. I decided to leave them alone since they were leaving me alone and get some revenge on Insanolord who voted me out last game and because I missed my chance to get revenge on TOPHATANT123 in voting him out on Day 1. Once again, though, luck was on my side as Insanolord must have correctly chosen pokepal148 to be the one voted out which was a good thing since that darned cat lover was going to try and make a hit on me that night. That move gave Insanolord his victory this game.
Why the mafia didn't make a hit on Day 2 is something ShyGuy will have to explain though I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a case of Lucario's erratic deadline schedule and no night action deadline time being given. To find out on Day 3 that both killers were dead and there was just a mafia left suddenly made this game start seeming winnable provided I could avoid one or two more hits or prevent a hit by vote out. My actual work was getting busier as the week went on so I began to have less time to play and post pictures like I wanted but I did what I could.
At this point, I think my play history became pretty clear. Tried to get revenge on Insanolord again that day, found out apdude was mafia, let apdude get eliminated, apdude's voting history then was used to target ShyGuy who was the godfather which was one of the breaks I was hoping for since it prevented a hit and then TofuFury found the last mafia member in Stratos ending the game. To me, the stars and MVPs of this game are apdude and Tofofury with a couple assists by Insanolord. Apdude made the terrific day 1 vote on a killer and his Day 3 voting record helped the townies out (which is probably not what he was trying to do.) TofoFury rocked his role and Insanolord made the correct call on his tiebreakers.
As a bonus, I got to play a less serious game and had some of the most fun I've had in a quite some time playing this game. There are some themes that I can't do much with but this was one up my alley and I did a lot with it. It was getting to the point that if this had been a regular day, I'd have been able to scrounge up enough female Waluigi pictures to do one more avatar search but after that, I think I'd have been out of material for this game. I was getting worried once I started lasting this long since I hadn't planned for it.
