This was a good game to come back to, as I got to play with some really good friends and got to be at least kind of useful in the game  Unfortunately, it also caused me stress and reminded me again that I was never a good SE player even when I was a regular. I spent the early game winging it, spent midgame getting tunneled on in despair and apathy and the last half of it trying to make up for early mistakes and still getting suspected a lot  I was lucky that even though I was the most incompetent player ever, I was at least of some use and didn't make too big of mistakes. So thank you Straw and thank you to all for playing with me, but I will be taking the lesson to heart and never coming back. The most I'll do is participate in spec docs and stuff. So... it was really great being back for a while until it wasn't, and thank you all so much  

What Alvron said.

I have, in my year and a half here, ruined many a game for the village as a villager. My "analysis" is rarely ever correct, and usually ends up misleading me and others more often than not. But I enjoy the community and the debates. Plus the Cosmere/Sanderson themes make it even more fun (even though my RPing has taken a drastic decline).

Though I was kind of pocketing you, what I said in the game was the truth. You aren't a bad at SE. If you are, all of us are as well. I really enjoyed the short time I was able to play with you, and I do hope you join us again. If you don't feel comfortable playing, we'd definitely love to have you spectate. Just know, you're always welcome, no matter how good you think you are.

Yeah, I'm wholeheartedly supporting what Alvron and Elandera said. I really don't think you're a bad player at all. You participate in the discussion, you're quite observant and a boon to whatever team you're on. Sure, you don't figure out the identities of all the elims within the first 4 cycles, but no one does that.

Wooo!

I very much enjoyed my self built role of the PM Spider. Sorry for making you waste two kills on me Elandera Although I admit i'm a little pleased that I concerned you enough to do so. You had terrible luck this game and its a shame you weren't able to get another conversion off (would've thrown me and my pming into utter chaos of terrified paranoia though, which would've been delightfully fun, and you would've had a new buddy so your doc wouldn't have been so quiet, but alas it was not to be...). You did well for sounding villagery though, to the point that i'd discarded some things i'd found suspicious of you because I didn't find you sus enough to properly focus on (so i ended up forgetting about the whole being the only player to differentiate between the coinshot and inquiziboi kill in my pm questions).

Also sorry straw for the literal hundreds of pms  I guess you see now why Alv noped out of being included in them when I asked

Also y'all were waaay too free with information in pms. Was very useful for me but PM SAFETY GUYS XD  Pretty quickly I knew more roles than fifth, the seeker, did, and i didn't need to scan anyone to get them  its probably a good thing for village that there wasn't any more conversions because a lot of information had been shared around in pms 

Good job on hael for the ninja reflexes on the protects. Also kinda insane  and lucky that you the lurcher was fifths first scan. I enjoyed working with you guys too

Also thanks to everyone for everyone else for tolerating my pms and questions and the occasional moment of insanity.

@Doc12- I've already spoken to you RE: your thoughts on you in this game, but i'll say again here, that you got me three peoples roles. That was enough for us to nail down the list of suspects and bring it down to a very, very small list. Also remember that not every games going to be your best play. One game you may be an instrumental player and play a big part, the next game you may just be cannon fodder. What matters is that you can take a step back and think about how you can grow and improve, what could you have done better, or maybe it was poor luck and nothing would have changed, what matters is that you keep trying. Don't give up pup. Also this game wasn't exactly a normal game as far as games go, so your play style may be great in a game with more things happening in thread.

 

And last but not least, THANK YOU STRAW FOR RUNNING THIS GAME (and tolerating the pm spammage). I had a lot of fun and it is good to be back

I'm very curious as to how you did that with Elandera's name.

I didn't really get to be active in this game. I always sign up for two games and only end up really playing one

The concept was really cool though! (also if someone would explain why or how I was lynched that would be great)

I used a Zalgo text generator. Ì͇̳̪͈ͅͅt͚̭͍'̨̜͚̼͚ͅs̶̺͙̘͚̹͎ ̧̠̯p҉̗̹͕̹̮̗r̤̻e͓̝̞͉ṯ̞̺̦̣͙t̨͚͈̖̝̹y̱͔̹̺͎ ̼̞̜̗̝c̨o̧̤̭̝̹̬̪ͅol̴͖͍!̜͎̱̲̮͕

It's well past time for this game to be closed up. Many thanks to Straw for running this game - LG2 is a classic conversion game that really doesn't see enough use. Well done to BR/Elandera for being great Inquisitors, and to the village for ferreting them out. See you in the next game! 

As always, if anyone would like to try their hand at running a game, please get ahold of Wilson, Fifth Scholar, Devotary of Spontaneity, or myself. Not only will we get you added to the list, but we'd also be more than willing to help out in any way we can. 

You can also ask questions and get some hints and feedback from everyone in our Art of Game Creation thread. With all the games that we've run so far, we have plenty of experienced GMs that can help you refine any game you're thinking about. If you would rather keep some detail secret, or are self-conscious about posting in thread (there's really no need to be; while we do slaughter each other, we are very polite about it), then I'm sure one of our fantastic committee members (Amanuensis, Araris Valerian, Stink, Elandera, or Sart) would be more than willing to help you out in private.

Thanks again to everyone that played, and we look forward to killing seeing you in future games!
