Specifically in this game, coming back from that would've required not only perfect day play (mislynches every day) like normal, but also hitting blues every night with either nk or poison til f3. And by killing anyone other than the apprentice town N2 (with either nk or poison) you end up clearing the N1 target of apprentice town if they chose friendly neighbor.

Also, without any claims D1, a vigi claim in D2+doctor save that night puts you in a hellish f3/ thunderdoming against the last non-clear.

The alternate is, without any claims D1, a vigi claim in D2 + friendly neighbor claim + living neighbored town is either lock if you missed all 3 with your poison, or again a hellish f3

The odds against you were huge at start of day. I feel like it would've been demotivating for anyone, and I can't blame you for your absence afterwards.

I don't think you should put yourself down or blame yourself for bringing game down. You didn't.

This pretty much describes my feelings perfectly, if not better tbh, I don't really think anyone holds it against you and frankly, I think most folks would have just conceded I think when the wagon formed.

Appreciate the effort regardless, because the game ended on a much more satisfying note that way.
