I dunno what's the point in playing on for a few more days just in case moody decides to consciously throw tbh.
Did we find the one scenario where mafia wins this setup 
Yeah I'm ending it
Game Over. Vooper, Duskfall, and MoodyCloud Win!
I just want to thank you all for sticking through with this game despite the obvious lack of balance that came with the 8 person setup. I think this game would have been more fun for everyone if there had been more players, but the game was pretty broken from the start. I'll post some more postgame-type stuff later when I have more time

Yeah shortening a setup just breaks it imo. Town threw hard this game imo FH should always have been docced last night. In fact I nearly forfeited when viper was jailed.
Oh yeah also sorry for the lack of clarity on the rules, especially regarding the jailor. I'll be much more clear on this next time I host a game (Hopefully an OC because Smogon NOCs have two feet and an arm in the grave at this point). I think this game proved we should let the idea of TOS-based Smogon Mafia just die forever.

sorry town! i played bad and threw the game out of our hands
biggest mistake was trying to play with someone else's wincon instead of towns so my mistake
and i should have just pushed for 1 coinflip d2 instead of permitting the second one to go through
think this setup is p swingy, if town gets a mafia they autowin while mafia run through a gambit of 50-50s depending on how they play. seems formulaic but im p sure this would result in a lot more town wins overall so nj
idk not much more to say. i had fun in pms and thats all that really matters to me

I was 100% convinced mafia would lose when they claimed exe implicating a cop claim but here we are
Realistically exe picks the mechanical auto win most of the time but I wanted to try and see if a mafia win was feasible (also me cooperating with mafia to some extent triggered some 50-50 situations which made the game more interesting than the alternative imo), I also thought they deserved a shot after managing to guess right and take out the town rb

GG lads, thanks for host inferno!
It was terribly unbalanced but I enjoyed trying to bullshit my way to victory, it was a fun game regardless.

Thank you everyone again for playing. It was unfortunate that we did not get that many signups, and I think that was the reason that this game was unbalanced. So, without further ado, here is my analysis of the game.
With the setup we ended up with, both the Mafia and the Town were under the gun from the very start. Mafia members had very little claimspace and few possible allies, and the Town was short on numbers from the very start. Frankly, it was a miracle that the mafia managed to pull off a win given Nuxl's sound mechanical solution. Also, I think for the whole game everything hinged too much
I must say, overall, the MVP of this game was Duskfall98. Their cop claim was so convincing that Nuxl completely fell for it and lynched the actual cop. Their ability to read the members of the town was also highly impressive - by the end of Night One, the mafia was almost certain which person was every role. The only thing they got wrong is that they thought that OM room was the RBer. I think it was this mistake that ended up grabbing them the win, along with the fact that Jalmont did not submit a Night 1 action.
However, this does not downplay the role that vooper played in getting the mafia the win. Their experience with actual Town of Salem allowed them to pull off a play (claiming exe) that I didn't expect to see in this game. What was even more impressive was the fact that they were daring enough to claim their partner as their target. This is what likely got Leonard lynched Day 1 and what gave the mafia the lead going into Night One
On the town side, I would say that Nuxl played the best game. Despite their mechanical solve not working out in the end, this was due to the great play of Dusk and Vooper. I did not expect the town to come up with a cohesive and powerful strategy that fast and I think that was the reason the game initially tilted heavily towards the town. I think their initial instinct to try and get the executioner on the Town's side was also a very good play that almost guaranteed them a win
Overall, the level of gameplay was high and this game was overall more interesting and less of a sweep than I expected an 8p setup to be. Congrats to our three winners and I hope to host again (I'm already working on an OC setup, but that is going to take me a while to really balance)
