WOLF QUICKTOPIC: http://www.quicktopic.com/51/H/bLNCJ7tcp5nJ

Host Comments:
The game really didn't pick up until Day 3, and for some obvious reasons. I would like to extend a big middle finger to Red Blaster for shitting up this game, but I guess I can rip into him later.
The wolves successfully picked j-rodd on the first night for their night kill and already put town at a big disadvantage. Red Blaster didn't help the human cause either, getting himself modkilled for failing to read the rules. Choof got iced by the wolves for his power, so town was at an even bigger disadvantage considering choof's role has wolves in his sights. Tps got wolf rushed at EOD, and the affinity vote got conflipped (landed on white, get dunked on [sunfan wanted this comment in]). Curry and Rice got sniped for his power, and Zenith set up a successful case against blind for the win.
I was really, really disappointed that this game never went into black affinity and that it didn't live up to its full potential due to someone having a hissy fit and not understanding the ethics of the game. Many players went inactive and into "I don't care mode", only to come back to a wolf win. Hopefully you're proud of yourselves.

Fun fact: if any other human but blind was mislynched and the game went into white affinity, the game would have continued due to blind's power.

You start off the game with 1 random white affinity injection to send to another player. This is in addition to your one-per-night creation (effectively starting with 2).

PLAYER COMMENTS:

Manti: You were in this game?

Blind: You are the recipient of the "I Told You So" award for this game. Hold it up high and shove it in everyone's faces. Your defense is exactly what I would have done in your shoes, and the multiquoting should have been a huge giveaway for everyone that you were human. Well done. You played well, but the inactive town let you get dunked.

Zenith: You did it. There were a few things that you did apart from your usual town game, which should have been a dead giveaway for some people (hot reads list nowhere to be found). But your tracker claim worked. The "random" pick of TPS is pretty statistically screwed, so I'm pretty surprised you got Charu and DaBackpack to eat it up. gj duder!!

Red Blaster: thanks for ruining my game. Also you claimed a little too early in a mystery game. There were so many factors that can screw with the game so it shouldn't have been your top priority.

DaBackpack: ya got played, son. It was interesting seeing a human game out of you (finally), but I guess you really needed more people to bounce ideas off of for you to reach your conclusion. You dropped the wolf team in one of your posts, and I was excited for a moment since town was at such a disadvantage, but you got sweet talked by Zenith. You were so close.

Charu: ya got played. It would have been nice if you actually decided to play the game as well. (you did rectify this for Day 3, although it wasn't the greatest moment for town)

j-rodd: no mercy n1 kill. sux2bu

reuben_tate: you were pretty active throughout most of the game, but it seemed to falter towards the end. I think your initial work was pretty strong, but the inactivity of the rest of the town surely didn't help you out.

storn: I felt your wolf game was pretty easy to read into, and I'm trying to think of some tips to make it better. I might update this post, but I will say one really strong play of yours was saving yourself from the lynch since you had the item you were going to pass to curry, and lynching you waas a bad idea. Nicely done.

choof: I really liked how you were playing the role, too bad some cocksucker ruined your entire plan. Sorry mate.

Raeko: I think posting that you were worried about using your item was a little premature, but other than that you won for being UTR (without getting any iota of suspicion), so ya did it.

Tokzic: Runner up MVP. You handled that red seering like a fucking champ and your claim was really good to follow up. If you said you protected Curry N3, you could have just faulted the randomness. I was wondering why people didn't question why you protected V, though (maybe I missed this). Well played.

Curry and Rice: Aside from V, you only sent injections to wolves. Looks like they got you good. I think when you claimed you gave a little toooo much information that led to wolves icing you over anyone else (they were considering charu, I wonder if a little less info on the black stuff would have made you less of a concern).

V: At least you tried to be active. Looks like the red blaster thing really threw you off.

Tps: I really liked your playstyle going into this. It's a shame the wolves lynch rushed you. You played very concerned and cautious, and your analysis was good. I feel like if you got your watcher power off, it would have been killer.

[roundbox]

also SEND ME GAMES pls

[blindreper1179]

Fucking dumb ass people

[Charu]

More like they had the perfect setup to make a case on you, which was hell-a convincing than what you were spewing out.

[Charu]

You want to bitch talk, let it all out.

[roundbox]

A trend I've noticed: it seems like the people making snide comments are often A) completely mistaken or B) wolves

[Charu]

That unforunate sequence of events in Night One though.

Like how lucky was that for storn to just do that to have someone seer his target?

And then the modkill.

I couldn't have asked for a perfect sequence of events if I were a wolf.

[DaBackpack]

Lmao totally called tokzic/zenith/storn

[DaBackpack]

I am so glad this game is over though

[choof]

I legitimately quit caring after the whole red blaster bullshit and I'm glad that he's banned because now he'll start playing on a different site

I've stood up for him in so many chats and on so many different occasions so if he's going to continue to do this kinda shit even when he was on the cusp of becoming a solid player, then good fucking riddance

[Charu]

I just wanna say Zenith did an amazing job.

[Charu]

Dat is all

[DaBackpack]

If this was another game I'd be mad, but honestly I tried so fucking hard to find a reason to distrust zenith

[DaBackpack]

I was pretty thoroughly convinced at the end that zenith couldn't have been lying though

[choof]

tokzic should have not lived past day 2 and you're all idiots for not killing him

[AragakiAyase]

This game was very hard for me to follow. The rb fiasco really derailed the game and that was unfortunate. That being said blind losing his shit didn't help his case and solidified the wolf win. Keep calm at all times one thing that comes to mind is something that fiction said: towns get mad cause people are being stupid, reds get mad because they are losing.

[DaBackpack]

Yeah all fucking 2 of us town that were active

[DaBackpack]

Sorry for not trusting you charu

It wasn't that I didn't trust blind, it was more that zenith had fucking loaded the entire game for his claim
