So big takeaways from this game:
1 - The hider plan was obviously broken. That was my fault as a mod and should have thought through it better. Allow this to be a warning to future mods that combining flavor with the game itself can be dangerous.
2 - I was bummed the Tracker/Vig was killed off so early. I felt that the intrigue behind this setup was the interactions that role has with the others. Voltaire dying made this game much more Vanilla much more quickly.
3 - Lio brings up a point that mafia went the whole game w/o having a true case brought up on them, more or less. The two that died were outed via investigation or counter claim and were obvious lynches at the time. While losing a mafia member is bad, in this way I believe it actually benefited mafia. This is because during those whole two days there was less information to analyze. They were obvious lynches. So despite this being day7 there were significantly less days to actually analyze content. See the defenses that raerae and ash made. They were primarily from day1 and day4. The rest of the days were rather devoid of real content.
4 - Missing deadlines and no-voting. Certainly a theme for this game. Unfortunate. I am not happy that this is the way the game ended, but there wasn't an alternative from my perspective. Thanks to everyone for taking it as it is and not becoming overly frustrated or angry with the ultimate result. I hope everyone had fun regardless of the ending.
5 - I think the MVP goes to raerae (if you disagree, submit your own MVP nomination). Liopoil certainly gets a nod for the counter claim successfully paid off. While it went well I think it was risky. If he isn't believed and is lynched before TA, raerae would have a much harder time winning this. UoS was great with his plan, but again I would have liked to see how he would have operated based off his own reads rather than following a strict plan. Better for town =! more fun.
6 - thanks to mail-mi for helping co-mod and to EFHW and Jorbles for stepping in while I was VLA.
7 - Remember to sign up for Modern Community Mafia when it opens for signups in a few weeks and Arrested Development Mafia probably two months or so down the road.
