At the end of it all, I like the variant.
Victory is nice, but it seems like every role was lined up in my favor at the end there.

I do take credit for successfully turning "Hitman" into "Vindicator", as it took a lot of holding back and risky waiting to make that story remotely believable. Henry's inability to keep from wasting his vest on Godders was pretty much the biggest error in the game--even he didn't believe the guy to be innocent, and his role's wording suggested he protected the innocent. That is the one thing I, too, would outright complain about from Top. (My other genuine complaint lies in Monk's rage, but that's for time to help.) Everything else was little enough that it can be tweaked out, namely the repeat judges.

Only similar people ended up on trial, Top? Let's count that one out...
Scar, Penguin, Kikori, Rex D1.
Dr. Henry, Godders, Monk, Rex D2.
Lander, Monk, Kikori, Rex D3.
The only person that never made it into a speaking seat was the one who died N0, Aragorn. Also, sorry bud, my original plan was to start from the bottom and work up based on peoples' post count, length, and contribution (by my own reckoning). Rex was due to die N1 (only left alive N0 because he's my bro <3), so that left you N0. After the roleclaim debacle, my plan had to change and Scar had to go.

I suppose I should explain my kill on Penguin. After all, he seemed to trust me enough to make me a Judge again. I call that a necessary final day wrench in the gears. The worst case scenario for me is if we end up with three people who are confirmed--example of Rex, myself, and Penguin--and they figure out, solely by numbers, that I was lying. I needed an escape plan. Killing Presidents gave me the ability to say, if the need were to come, "No, you liar, it's me." ONCE AGAIN, my plan was cut short by Monk's "Henry is Mafia" bit. He set the plan for me, and going away from it would only end up hurting.

You lost the game.

I had figured you were scum some time ago, but didn't want to build that case...

The biggest flag was a change in playstyle once you smelled almost assured victory.

But yeah, with Monk dead we were screwed. This variant was 'meh'.

Derp. I really messed this up. Completely convinced Kikori was innocent, was going to push Lander if I wasn't killed. Ended up making a mafia judge twice :/

However, this was a very fun variant. With a couple tweaks this will be really good. Thanks for the game Top, and everyone else.

Yet you made me the backup judge on the last night instead of making Henry the judge. It could ONLY have been him or me, and you say you had the flags against me. Why not take 'em?

Because we were either way. And I get a sick satisfaction in watching you win as mafia.

You played very, very well until 'yesterday'. Your playstyle shifted as you smelled victory. As I said, and Monk will have my hide for this, he needed to die for the sake of the metagame. Would you have really let him live? It would have spelled your doom if I hadn't been so ticked at his tantrum.

But I have one question. Were you *really* going to shoot Godders? Bahaha. Awesome move.

Yes, I was. He up and gave me the chance I needed.

And my best bet was actually to kill him AS SOON AS his tantrum started. I figured giving him time to talk was more Villager of me than anything I did on the topic.
And no, we weren't. If you believed me Mafia, and Henry knew he wasn't Mafia, that would have left me. I could have died the final day if you chose Henry instead of me. It was not an impossible situation.

I suppose so. But one mistake or misunderstanding between me and doc would have spelled doom.

I made a hasty decision...I was upset that I hadn't been on the first two trials, and admittedly, I condemned Monk partly because I wanted to be involved with a trial. Like I said, I believed his claim. But he was wrong as well, so meh.
