Time for the Hall of Fame / Hall of Lame.
As you may have seen in the modnotes in the mafia board, I have an opinion :P
I really appreciate everyone's participation a LOT though, so don't take it too personal!!
Some just got to shine more than others ;) ;)


Hall of Fame

Wikey - Wikey made great use of his role. The first night he was a bit unlucky with his Traffic Analyst role on Jamie, who was invited to a private forum that night. Then he saved his remaining two actions for the end game, which helped out town a lot. Ninja Curtis was caught as a doctor, which was the nail in mafia's coffin really. Then the unstoppable vanilla scan on Sami was kind of important too - especially the unstoppable part ;) Wikey's reads were pretty good too, with some reads that were off (esp. the last couple days). Overall, given how he used his actions, Wikey was Town MVP I would say.

Cody - The one and only scum that made it to this HOF, and it's not even close! Cody played a very smart game, didn't get ANY heat until the very end (OK Reaper tried to kill him N1 but that's it). He was actively scum hunting and made good use of his role, even if it only had an effect N1. The night Christian tracked him, he chose to No Action, which was SUCH a good move! Sucks for him that Wikey's scan was unstoppable, or else he would have caused serious chaos by bussing himself and Sami. Being taken out by Rodney was kind of a fitting end to his story arc... so unfortunate!

Zach - From my point of view, Zach probably played the strongest game out of everyone. He had excellent reads and never really budged when scum tried to talk their way out of their misery. Like when Christian was caught, Zach made a really good point that Christian missing his N2 action looked more like scum trying to cover up an action that couldn't be explained as a town action. He also had good town reads, like his read on Josh. Overall just excellent play without any role related information, well done!

Josh - Josh made great use of his vanilla role by trying to take heat off of Spin D1. He fooled a couple scum by doing that, but in the end they never really targeted him. Josh's reads were spot on minus his read on Helios.

Rodney - This is more a honorable mention than anything else to be honest. His choice to take the first person on his lynch train gave town the win - so good job on that. It was more luck than anything else though and Rodney played like a train wreck just to get lynched hmm... :P


Hall of Lame

Town regarding Helios - Wow... just, wow. This was mind blowing, like... Helios was the most suspicious person in the game by far, the whole game. Some of you PM'd me theories during the night, and Helios would always show up as scum on your suspects lists. He was also blocked, scanned, tracked, all by townies. It was a blessing for town that scum took him out, BUT then they didn't do ANYTHING with his posts. Helios dropped a major breadcrumb is his very first post. Then basically spelled out his night results in the first post of each day. Obviously he scanned Josh as 'plain', yet you guys still lynched him down the road.

Mafia. - I was going to mention each of them individually, but I guess this makes more sense. Aside from the fact that they didn't really plan ahead, thought about fake claims ahead of time, or had any strategy at all, they also made some huge mistakes during the game.
- It all started with Penner/Maddie day 1 - fully blaming Penner for taking the prev game into this one, man that sucked for the team and for me as a host. Scum being lynched D1 is always detrimental to the team as the townies on that train look so good. Then Maddie was attacked by Farlig, partly because she was on that train. Unfortunate.
- Mittens made a dumb move by jumping of off the Penner train. That night he was blocked, scanned, killed.
- N1 scum was originally planning to use Christian's unstoppable trait on a tracker action :/ and they wanted to have the shapeshifter do the killing? Fortunately im317 was there to talk sense into them.
- They didn't use their ninja for killing until Night 4. I get that they took out Spin with the unstoppable, but as soon as they knew a doc couldn't self protect (and they already knew because it was in Curtis' role too...), why kill Brian with the unstoppable as well? Really made no sense and Christian was caught killing Brian.
- For a long time im317 was running for HOF actually, until he chose to kill Helios over one of the watchers, thinking Curtis would outlast himself. Uhm why not take out a watcher while you can? Why take out the most suspicious person in the game instead? This did so much damage, since Curtis was caught, then CAL-PRO... unnecessary had they ninja'd a watcher instead of killing Helios. Scum would have had a DECENT chance if it wasn't for this move.
- Curtis and CAL-PRO never contributed a single thing to the mafia team - if anything they hindered them while they were much needed due to all the questionable decisions... yikes!

El Profesor - Yes... for 'selecting' this mafia team! No J/K. But, I hate that I didn't give the SK helper a kill in case the SK died. I also overlooked Spin's ninja trait when Rose saw him at someone's place. This turned out to be very minor though. I also would have included an extra vanilla instead of a doctor. But that's it. I had fun!


That's it guys!
I'm thinking of planning a sequel...
But it may not be any time soon due to the fact that I'm starting a new job next month- and not sure I can combine that with hosting. This took a lot more time than I anticipated, especially the first days/nights wow.
