It probably would never in a million years have worked, but town's best play on Day 6 was for Space to counterclaim WCD convincingly or for WCD to admit to being Kai Winn. If they had managed to convince ash to shoot WCD, because of deathproof and/or double vote, town could win Day 7. So even at the end when ash said town had no path to victory, there was at least a Hail Mary that could have been attempted.
No one would believe it, Didds is too honest to a fault.
Think about it from my perspective: I would never had won, ever, if I killed ash. Killing town enabled a kingmaking decision which was better than certain death. I completely underestimated town's hatred of me and my play, however: in hindsight, I suppose I had already lost. Regardless, if I was thinking about kingmaking, then I would've done the same, MQ played better than town in my opinion.
You aren't wrong but you have to know your audience. Your appeal to Space and Didds was "I deserve this win." That argument was NEVER going to win those two over. Had you come at it more analytically like, "Look how long I survived under so much suspicion, this is why I killed this person and that person, I made this play because..." you might have had a better shot. But all game people have been telling you tone it down and you came in and said you deserved something, that was never going to swing your way.
Hindsight 20/20. I can't counter 5 days of what I did into 1 day of saying "look how good I am", Didds would never, ever buy it and I hurt Space personally twice. So, no, I refuse to believe this was possible.
Yep, I’m LVP, for sure. Le sigh...
Idk, I think Robz gives you a run for your money. Who gets lynched Day 1 as IC?
Well, I'm going to defend my play. If I was certain I was going to be lynched, I would have claimed, but at my last check in, it was far from clear. And to my mind the risk is worth it—I'm a long surviving player, usually, who is eventually viewed as highly suspicious, so having the ability to confirm myself as one of the remaining townies late game can be a huge advantage. I would sooner take a risk that would be awesome for town if it worked out, then do the safe thing that wastes my power and likely gets me nightkilled quick. I also just really didn't think I would get lynched. And I'm very, very, very, very, very, very, very against this trend of waiting until the absolute last minute to lynch or even L-1 anybody on Day 1, better to do it earlier and get a claim or two, so if I can in my small party discourage doing that in the future is was well worth it!
Did you read D2? If so, check my big VCA: from the moment Swan/Awaclus voted, you were dead. Were you online after that? You should've claimed then, the odds the lynch would go on someone else was incredibly low. Also, if you did use IC, chances are LL would get lynched, which would be worse. So...it wasn't that bad.
Or I'm wrong. Doesn't matter much now.
