Newbie 1201: Strife in the New Year (modded by Amrun; lost in 2012 Crash)

  I was a goon. This game was very fun for me because I took a large role in getting the most dangerous players to our survival lynched. BBmolla was probably the player I wanted dead the most, as I tried to kill him Night 1 (he was protected by the jailkeeper). Somehow I was able to convince people to lynch him, after a long quotewall battle that lasted for weeks throughout Day 2.

  Slandaar was the IC in this game, and was pretty useless. My scum buddy was Jackal711, and soon after MisterTea claimed jailkeeper on Day 2, he claimed cop without being provoked. This was after lurking for all of Day 1, and preceding his borderline-lurking for most of Day 2, and all of Day 3. Overall my scumbuddy's play was pretty bad, and very risky. I literally had to physically restrain myself from pointing out all his scum slips and scummy behavior in general. I would not consider him in the least responsible for the win we would have had, and everyone involved considers him directly responsible for the distasteful end of the game.

  Going back a bit before I skip to the end though: We mislynched well on the first day, Lupo was extremely easy to paint as scummy, and if I was a townie I would probably have lynched him anyway. No discouragement is intended here, but I am sure he will learn and become much better. As in my previous game, I decided to white-knight someone (Kassadin) very heavily. He was considered scummy by almost everyone in the game after his quick-hammer of Lupo on Day 1, and I was singlehandedly responsible for him not being lynched early on in Day 2.

  In hindsight, I wonder why I even bothered. I could very easily have just let him be lynched, and cruised on into Day 3 with three townies dead and a 2-4 MYLO situation. I suppose the reason I took the white-knight course of action instead of just helping town follow BBmolla (town) off a cliff and lynch Kassadin, was because I wanted to see if I *could* get BBmolla lynched. I knew when he flipped town I would look bad, so I did my best to set things up to look like I was a tunneling townie who was blind to almost everyone else. And then, after the longest and hardest quotewall battle I think I'll ever want to have, I was given the biggest gift I think I have ever gotten as scum: Kassadin quick-hammered yet again, and left with a parting comment of something like "GG I'm dead" or something that made him look terribly scummy. He was basically a guaranteed lynch on Day 3, and even I had an awesome reason to switch my read from white-knighting to lynching him.

  I killed the jailkeeper on Night 2, and we went into Day 3 MYLO. As my scum buddy had claimed cop, we were all waiting on his results for Day 3, so we could find scum and lynch them. He came back into the thread and said "Alright guys I'm here. I'm going V/LA for 2-3 days" or something similar. We asked him for his cop result, and he came back to say something to the effect of "Hold your horses, I'll tell you when I get back". Everyone was pretty mad, but we decided to wait for him to get back. When his announced V/LA was over, I made a comment asking him for his result, and stating the date. This is when things went sideways. He came back, but instead of claiming an innocent on somebody other than Kassadin (which was literally all he had to do to ensure us a guaranteed win), he decided to get angry at me for needling him for his cop result. He then claimed scum and outed yours truly as his scumbuddy. People were sorta stunned at this, and just looked around at each other and shrugged.

  When the mod finally logged on and saw, she declared the game "compromised" and unfinishable. Jackal711 was banned from newbie games for a while. Still not sure why he did it. It made me kind of angry, but I knew getting mad wouldn't really accomplish anything, so I tried being gracious and accepting an asterisk instead of a win or loss. Both the mod and the remaining town players acknowledged that they'd have probably gone with lynching Kassadin anyway, and scum would have won if Jackal had not compromised the game. With that said, I think I am within my rights to consider this a win, even though it wasn't official.
