What does this make Hazas early town lean of TKOK? Whiteknighting with misdirection potential or a read on a teammate?

What does this make Hazas early town lean of TKOK? Whiteknighting with misdirection potential or a read on a teammate?

I would lean on the former, but with it being TKOK and myself not having a full on read of him, I wouldn't be willing to put any sort of bet on it at this point.

I would say where I've landed back, fyi. Will be reading back on the white names today while we wait as I'm unsure where I'd like to go next quite yet.

Due to the botch with CP, the rebalancing not going great with the removal of the recruitment mechanics and unhappiness for the setup.

A decision has been made to call the game off, think we all acknowledged that this was gonna be non-canon earlier on.

Incredibly frustrated and disappointed as the game featured a lot of effort and had been weeks/months in the making.

For those who actively played and tried to keep the game going despite the hosting setbacks and enjoyed the shenanigans that it turned into - you guys the real MVPs.

For anyone who turned into a toxic mess afterwards, I don't think it'd be very to continue.

Awards pool was looking at Odo, DMK & ??? third.

Thanks for playing guys, apologies again.​

 

[Odo]

Full disclosure, I had a part in this too. After the damage Tiger King caused, I feel like it’s better to rip the bandaid off now than have several days of toxicity brewing under the surface

 

[Death Meta Knight]

Oh. Well that's unfortunate as I felt I was on fire here. brutus and chris were right too, so yeah , I understand, was elementary.

I honestly don't think botches were that game breaking as much as town working well together, but I respect the decision.

Cheers to everyone who tried and played well.

Thanks for the game Evans.

Fwiw, i enjoyed playing.

Odo had reads spot on mostly.

Who is really being that upset over this loss thought outside of Magic, who played poorly, and the scum team, who outside of haza , did not really put forth much of an effort. I do believe it's extremely sad to shut a game down because people simply can't cope with their own inability to play well

I think if the virgin can't be unexplained and was a botch that was the game breaker. I've said my bit at the end of the dead QT anyway. I think giving scum an extra kill N2 as compensation would have been fine too. But with no claimable roles that janitor shot n1 was vital to have any chance. I have no complaints as you caught me fair and square and maybe I could have figured something out during night but not likely,, as for the alive scum it really wasn't a fair playing field
