Mini 1318: This Little Town (modded by Oversoul)

  I was a Goon. This was a very fun game, though I expect not for everyone. Day 1 was a complete disaster. MusicNinja basically claimed scum, and we were able to get a Day 1 hammer within 3 pages. It certainly helped that everybody and their mama piled on the lynch while mastin and I stayed off of it. I'll say for sure that it was a very diverse group of townies, and blending in was much, much easier than it should have been. Things went ever-so-right for almost the entire game. We started out with me voting for MusicNinja for "legitimate" reasons, bringing the game out of RVS after only one page. Next, two or three more votes piled up in quick succession. MusicNinja flipped out and went postal, and he claimed scum and said he'd reveal his scumbuddies if we'd leave him alive. That's a claim you never let live, so more people climbed on until he was at L-1. MonkeyMan576 poked his head in and asked if he should hammer. We told him GO AWAY MONKEYMAN. YOU ARE NOT IN THIS GAME.

  Then all of a sudden, vijay2vasandani shows up and votes for MusicNinja, hammering him. A few minutes later, he posts and says "whoops, that was the hammer?" Already things were going swimmingly for scum. I even predicted this in our scum QT: "This could potentially be a massacre, if things go right for us." And it was. Having day talk as scum is an extremely powerful tool (if you use it, of course), and we were able to turn just about everything happening into an advantageous situation for us. If I mod a game in the future, I'm really going to be careful about balance if I ever give day talking abilities to the scum. I'll say it again: it's an extremely powerful tool.

  After Night 1, we had two more deaths on our hands: Internet Stranger and kortul. And it's a good thing I decided at the last minute that we should change our kill from charter to kortul, too. He was a Gunsmith and had inspected me that night and found out I had a gun! That could potentially have been very problematic, especially because we knew there was already a vigilante in the game (due to the two kills) and I couldn't very well claim that. I mean, I could have, but it would likely have been shot right out of the sky because the other vigilante was an odd night vigilante, and why would a mod put a regular vigilante and then an odd night vigilante on top of that? i.e. Why not an odd and even? So basically, if I had claimed anything other than an even night vigilante, I was pretty much jiggered.

  Luckily it never came to that, and kortul's death went through nicely. The second day was almost as easy as the first. We had a great number of scummy things to pick out of other people's posts, and mastin and I were both competent enough to bounce accusations off each other without ever causing too much suspicion of one another. We were the two players in the spotlight at the end of Day 1, and attacking each other mercilessly. I thought it would be much more of a challenge than it was, to back off from each other and start attacking other players. Both of us gave token reads about The Mini-Librarian throughout the game, and he was in good enough standing in the town (as in, one of the most trusted) that nobody ever thought much about him being scum until the very last day, by which time it was far too late to do anything about it, especially when vijay2vasandani was still alive after having quick hammered *twice* without allowing the person being wagoned to claim first. That's someone you don't allow to stay alive, no matter what.

  Meanwhile, Day 2 we got hiplop lynched, even though I had been heavily pushing for a pieceofpecanpie lynch due to "reasons I couldn't really explain." Night 2 we killed off ... nobody. It turned out when Day 3 dawned that pieceofpecanpie had been jailed by someone and so our kill on him hadn't gone through. We considered this a near-calamity, except that kdowns asked pieceofpecanpie what he did the night before, and pecanpie retorted with something to the effect of "you tell me first, then I'll tell you." This didn't go over well with the town at all, and they wagoned him up to L-1 again. While we waited for a claim, vijay2vasandani waltzed in again and threw *yet another* quick hammer on pecanpie. We veritably wiggled in our chairs for joy, in the scum QT. This game was winning itself; all we had to do was sit back and let it do its thing.

  That night, we killed kdowns, the claimed jailkeeper, and this time it went through. So we had only one more day left to go. Day 4 dawned, and before lynching vijay, we went through the motions of a token mass claim. mastin had a fancy Jack of all Trades claim that he pulled out of his ass, but it was ultimately unnecessary. Vijay was far and away the most popular lynch for the day, and people didn't hesitate (except for mastin, who wanted only townies to be on the game-losing lynch for them). The Mini-Librarian and myself were able to convince mastin to just go ahead and put the town out of their misery, and so he did. The hammer was dropped, and the game was won. This was my first perfect victory as scum, and would have been the second, except for my scumbuddy outing himself and me in Newbie 1201.
