So, here's the question: stevey or vudu?
Which townie helped more, despite death? It's a real tough one.
As far as things went with success, Maxi's lowered activity made him an apparent mafia member, which Stratos, GP, and Dasmos made clear. During this day, Khush investigated nickmitch, a player who usually is inactive and tough to read. The result he found was that nickmitch was the killer. Given this, Khush shared his info with vudu, whom Khush knew, as the investigator, was a townie, because Khush himself did not have the townie message vudu received.
From there, on day 2, we had two main suspects: The player who didn't know what time the day ended, plugabugz, or nickmitch, another player who wasn't present, and they both seemed like valid candidates. Near the end of this day, after I had asked Khush if I could claim to be the investigator to a few people, he actually replied with a yes, then presented a list of suspects to claim were identified as Vader, which worked as easy as pie, you see...
By day 2, we had already accumulated a number of nearly-certain townies just by Maxi's PM actions... Those that received PMs from Maxi, and been upfront with others about them had names of people Maxi was trying to make looks suspicious. From this, vudu and I were pretty much cleared in a message sent to Stratos, and GP's immediate vote against Maxi mostly cleared her, as well, once the details got out. Our possible mafia list wasn't slim, but it had good odds, and we figured the move to clear things up more would to check with those who weren't on it, or were, but weren't necessarily townies.
So we sent out the messages, and got one back from everyone saying no, except for NuclearSpeed, and of course, Dasmos, who thought he just found the investigator. I didn't tell him who Khush was, and left that up to Khush, himself, based on trust, and just in case Khush was pulling one over on us, since we didn't have nickmitch confirmed yet, I also informed vudu, in the event Dasmos did die, so we'd have an idea Khush was out against us.
After the success on Day 2, Day 3 had a bit of a muddier start, mostly because I decided not to develop a specific type of list, the one of relatively unconfirmed townies, and started a quest to solidify who the mafia was... This began with a message to Stratos, which blew up some, when it was really nothing, but could have ended us all up in trouble. Still, things worked out, and we had a list of relatively inactive players who could have missed the hit as a godfather. On the top of the list was Plugabugz, who had the time of the end of the day wrong, and the rest were people who were online or not, but didn't seem to play the game. As it turned out, 2/5 were mafia, and we eliminated one of the two, UncleBob through investigation. From there, I posted what we knew about these people, including myself, and it left Pale and Plugabugz as potential godfathers. I bought Plugabugz story, and so did some others, but in the end, most did not, and he lost, that's all pretty clear in the thread.
And so, today, we were left with Khush investigating one of the last few mystery players, NuclearSpeed, who was mafia, and thus, when Khush voted for him, most of the townies knew what it meant.
And then that was the end.
Also, it's funny, because even though in most cases, I knew who to vote for, I was able to vote for Pale, yet still help out the townies. It's just like stevey, except I worked with other people :p
Anyways, if I had to pick a VIP or two, I'd say Khush, vudu, or Dasmos would be the main people who won the game. Why? Khush came up with or helped developed several serious plans, and identified all the people who needed to be identified for us to take our position in the game. It wasn't luck that he found who he did, beyond nickmitch, it was all part of what he had analyzed, and I have to agree that the players chosen were the right ones. vudu's day one move, while many didn't choose to go with it, really set Khush up with a back-up plan, and gave him a certain townie to work with beyond identifications. This meant, that with vudu as an aware safety net, Khush could reveal himself to at least one person a day, and if he died, it would be likely that we'd know another mafia member. vudu's move was key to making a townie alliance quickly and successfully. I don't really have to say much about Dasmos's work. It speaks for itself. A successful hit of both Maxi and UncleBob, as well as a willingness to work with a questionable team really lead to the "peaceful" resolution we had, as well as the early end.
I'd think this townie team is one to be put in the record books, where five "villains" were defeated in four days, while only two townies were lost. I just wish that the villains in the game didn't have the technical difficulties they did, because had they not, it would have been a much more challenging game.
Also, Plugabugz, I wanted to say this earlier, but it wasn't your timezone that killed you, but your inactivity. It was likely that mathematical error, so you thought you'd be awake at the time. I'd like to say that all godfathers should send in a "rough draft" of who they'd like to hit as soon as possible, and if need be, change it later. It's just better to play it safe.
Also, Mop_it_up doesn't play nice with others. She's about on the stevey-level of "individual" at this point!
