Ultimately my biggest failure was one of player psychology, as people really wanted to see me burn just because I blew ou the second flame. Should have counted on that a bit more.

Sharky: You can't really take anything anyone ever says in wolf/mafia personally, I've learned. Some games the optimal play is just to be an abrasive asshole (or to try and look like the village idiot and hope no one sees through it).

The 'coinflip' I'm referring to are my odds of killing/converting the second flame, who I at that point knew was either Zara or Ako. I needed to do that to win.

Ocksi's entirely right that all-in is in your favor once the numbers are in your advantage. Once Lottel was dead you guys had this in the bag, and you ran with it, so good for you. I don't know if that's a bug or a feature in the ruleset, though (I think I'd personally prefer a slight random variation on the number of dynimite, even something as small as 4-5).

I would also like to thank the Things for playing like absolute retards. Protip: the only two conditions for the extra test? Don't re-test someone on Day 2 and don't test another Thing. Anything else seems completely legit.
If the assumption is that it's always sub-optional (an, in fact, a kill able offense) to re-test someone then the things are just going to always prefer to convert a day one test, however.

Actually, you know what? I let emotion get the better of me there. After looking back it seems more plausible that Dest is just a human moron. Switching my vote back to Zara. If I'm wrong there we can still have a great little argument over whether to burn Gha or Dest. Hell, at this point I'd like to see them throwing each other under the bus. So hey, I still get to have at least a little petty vengeance.
This is the exact reason I acted as I did, I was hoping Friend would come to this conclusion and kill Gahitsu. Killing an innocent I'd be high on the flame list and have to dodge three flames and win a coinfip (since Gahistu has also basically revealed to me she wasn't a flame, I had it down to zara and Ako). I liked my odds better having to only have the town make one misplay (especially since killing a non-flamer innocent would just shrink my hiding pool), since Zara was already on the table for testing I didn't feel I had much of a choice. Preferred the odds that Friend would make one wrong move over the odds that friend and the second flame would make a total of three. If I killed Gahistu and you tested Zara the optimal moves for you guys becomes flame Sharky, Ako and Myself in any order, add in any number of tests tomorrow and I lose that sequence.

I don't think the game's unwinnable for the things, but with one thing killed on day two the odds go way down.

For what it's worth I've have killed Kayma myself if someone killed Beat Bandit first.

All out of my hands at this point. I'm not too concerned with my chances at this point, really, at least if we test Zara. From where I'm standing he has to be the last thing, I know I'm human and I'm as certain as I've ever been about my read on Gahistu.

If we lose other than that it's because we went all in on a plan that required the things to not possibly have acted in a certain way. Nothing I could do about that.

Fire it up.

And for my money, if we lose from here it's because Ocksi's a mad genius who bussed Lottel, then used that to convince everyone to go crazy. Or Sharky or a very clever opportunist. Those were some amazingly accurate dynamite tosses...

As far as my target: . Sharky and Ocksi both blew up things, so they're out. Caithness was tested human. Friend is claimed a flamethrower.

That leaves myself, gahitsu, Zara and geo/Aoko. Zara had votes already, so test Zata, kill Aoko was the logical choice.

I may have gambled the game on my ability to read gahistu, but I'm 100% sure she's a human right now. Yesterday she told me IRL she "knew Lottel was a thing and was going to push for him." I've both seen her make such proclamations in mafia as an innocent after the fact. Apologies to Friday as I'm not 100% sure to get you a transcript of an exchange like that (and for my part I just nodded and didn't say anything).

Like I said, let's test Zata and end this thing.

Hah! I didn't count Ocksi's dynimite starting this whole crazy chain of events.

I'm blowing up Aoko. Sorry, but I can read gahitsu and I'm pretty sure she's clean.

Let's test Zara and reel this one in.

Well, since no one's talking:

The last dynamite should reveal, so I don't blow them up with this stick I'm holding, because I'm throwing it as soon as they do.

Also, I'm dropping my own hammertime. Need to think this one out, don't want a repeat of that wizarding incident.

(I rather like that rule and may well steal it for TT mafia if we ever play again)

God damn theroycrafting driven all-ins.

Friday: if both flames burn the same person, do we know they were doubletapped the next morning or do we only get that player X died?

Nice. Let's see here.

Caiehtnses - human (proven).
Ocksi - human. Way too early to bus and the odds of converting a dynamite are lower than not (2/5) and it's better saved to end the game anyway. Unless someone tells me he's like Lottel's bff or something.
Friend - most of my suspicion of him is gone at this point, given that I can't see two of the three things pushing for re-scans this early; seems that putting all your eggs in one easily exploded basket isn't such a great move.

For now my gut says Beat Bandit, so let's start with him. Unless someone has some insight on who Lottel may have converted?

I am the worst Mafia*Hack player in existence. Empirically proven.

But sure, why not.

So are there out of game communication rules here? I would assume so, though I'd also assume that something like that wouldn't really count as a violation.

For now I'm waiting to see how the free test turns out; personally I'd be inclined to scan Friend as he seemed to be more interested in an easy test than anything (pushing for both the vote leader and the self-voter).

Yeah, sure. Let's test Caithness and hope for a thing who just wants to end day early for super fun conversion times, rather than a flamethrower who just wants to light someone up.
