MAFIA WINS
So first off I’ll start by saying that I did not expect to conduct two mod-kills this game. Both in my opinion were objectively justified. The first on Luna was basically almost verbatim from his PM in terms of structure and verbiage, down to the detail.
Here is his PM:
Lunatic - You are Krypton. The name “krypton” comes from the Greek word kryptos (κρυπτός), meaning “hidden” or “concealed.” That meaning is not symbolic—it is embedded in how you exist in nature and how you were historically perceived. In the periodic table, you sit in Group 18 with a closed-shell configuration [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶. That full valence shell makes you chemically inert under most conditions—your ionization energies are high, your electron affinity is effectively negligible, and your participation in bonding is extremely limited.You are colorless, odorless, and chemically nonreactive under standard conditions. You remain undetected unless specific tools—like spectroscopy or high-energy excitation—are used to reveal you. Even your discovery came late in chemical history because you resisted easy detection in air separation. Due to this, you are the Compulsive Hider. Each night, you must choose a target. You will hide behind that player. If that player were to die, you will die as well. You win with the Town.
Here is what he posted:
I am Krypton which comes from a Greek word meaning hidden/concealed
The meaning is not symbolic, and is based on how I am historically percieved
Im in group 18 on the periodic table
I have a closed shell config "[Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶" whatever the fuck that means
The shell makes me chemicaly invert under many conditions
I have high energy ionization
My electron affinity is effectively neglible
My participation in bonding is extremely limited.

Due to all this I am a compulsive hider.
Y’all can be the jury on this, but I think it actually helped the game move forward for town cause Luna was a prime mislynch target anyways after leading the Mago lynch.
The Mikal one was less obvious, but he basically admitted to editing a post, and I saw the post that was edited too, so that was a no brainer.
I want to start off with the whole Thoth play at the beginning of the game. I thought it was a good way to play Soldier to uphold the utility of the role, but he should’ve fake claimed something at LYLO and quickhammered either person when it was 2-1. Long story short he played his role well until he didn’t. Besides that, behaviorally, his play was garbage. Town-locking Helz for that “bait” was so bad. It was obviously bait and Helz is smart. Might have worked on someone like Shining or Kohai but never works with Helz. Also, Helz literally claimed Vaporizer to you in the PM and you didn’t even bother to look it up to see what it does. Like come on man. DP6 from Thoth was also so bad, I wanted to cry. Zero semblance of an argument as to why he’s town or why Shining is scum, just a blind “believe me.” Whiteflame mechanically could not be scum after he didn’t quick hammer you. Thoth barely fought for himself and was incoherent. Learn to appeal to your audience. Shining was bad, but Thoth was even worse.
Moving to Shining. This is why we never let him skate by. He bitches everytime he gets mislynched, but he gets mislynched cause he has no behavior to support him because he doesn’t post, and his role is bad. Casey was onto Shining, but wasn’t pursued, which was disappointing. The fake claim was fine, but it literally was the last claim, and an easy one at that, which leads me to my next topic: claims.
Mikal should’ve 100% been lynched DP2 for a couple of reasons. First, claiming Magnet. He didn’t even claim Magnet. He claimed Redirector by his own words. A couple people pointed this out. Why would I call a Redirector a Magnet? Makes zero sense. The second is justification, and this is where I fault Whiteflame. Neodymium magnets are the strongest in the world. Why would I make you a Lightning Rod and Cobalt the Magnet? After Neodymium, it’s Samarium. Samarium would be the next best for Magnet. No way on earth would it be Cobalt. All of this combined with him being on the Dreamer list? Should’ve been a slam dunk for town. Mikal not being lynched DP2 probably directly contributed to the town loss. Helz, needless to say was the obvious lynch after all of his logical inconsistencies and very scummy role (even though he did it on purpose). With Shining, I knew the Green Goo was going to trip people up, and it tripped Whiteflame up. Unfortunate, but would’ve helped if he had been lynched first as Casey proposed. In general, if Mikal was lynched DP2 as he should’ve been, the scum Redirector would be gone. I also thought that the chats SIGNIFICANTLY harmed town this game. Whether it was Mikal bamboozling Whiteflame or Thoth town reading Helz for weak bait, it made it a lot harder for town to succeed.
Overall, I thought the game was pretty balanced. Scum thought it was town sided, but they were powerful. The Redirector could be used on Hider to secure two kills. Vaporizer served as a Strongman/Rolestopper. Redirector could also redirect town PRs to Shining to be Vanillaized. Don’t really understand, but I’m open to feedback on this. Theme split was relatively obvious at Halogens vs others. Scum figured it out pretty quickly, but their questions weren’t much help. The roles they asked about were Super Saint and Governor. Characters were Arsenic and Cobalt. Anyways, hope you all had fun, and let this be a learning experience for everyone as well. Thanks for playing!
