Also, I need to thank my Co-GMs Arkasas, Panzer but above all Wagonlitz, for providing support, without which I probably wouldn't have been able to carry through the game. They deserve a great measure of thanks.
I do.
It also is the most viewed game; we are fastly approaching 150.000 views.1. Math is boring.
2. Longest game then, you pedant.
Thanks. I also thank you for hosting the game which was really fun to play and read, although I died fairly early. The game also appears really balanced, since it ended up with only a single man standing.
Also congratulation with the win Hax---it was indeed well deserved.
See, people, now this is the way to make a come back. You win a 53 player game by being the sole survivor as 52 people die around you. Quite simply, impressive. Well done Hax!
And yeah, great job on hosting this monster of a game, Marty. Even though I'm still mad you made me a dump.

Kudos, Hax. A nice surprise. You were the only player I was absolutely not going to lynch. Would've been interesting to see what happened if we lynched asdfwhateverwhydidImakemynamethis before he killed Randy.
Thanks for GMing GMs.
What you two do on your own time is your own business...:mellow:

Welp, here they are:
Spy 1: You decide to spy on William of Ockham last night. You sneak into the room as he is shaving. Not waiting to be caught, you have a quick look around to room. You find the usual collection of books, but one of them in particular interests you as it is written in some ancient language. It appears to be either Greek or Latin, you cannot tell from the poor handwriting. You also notice a ornately carved box in the room, but as you go to look into you hear footsteps. Not wishing to chance your luck any more, you slip out of the room, pondering your findings.
Spy 2: You attempt to spy on William of Ockham. But when you arrive at his room, it is locked. You listen at the wall, but hear nothing. After a some time, William himself returns. You try to pass it off as if you were just taking a stroll around the castle, mutter a greeting to him and move on. He unlocks his door and goes in. Did you see the hint of a smile on his face as he walked past?
3. Spy Report:
You cast your eye on Niccolo Machiavelli. Unsurprisingly, he appears to be a shifty fellow, leaving his room in the middle of the night, and walking with purpose. You follow him until he enters a large hall, through massive oak doors. You are unfamiliar with the layout of the hall so you consider it unwise to follow him in. You hear several voices inside, and you can clearly make out those of King Ludwig II (Chieron) and Vizzini (Snoopdogg) although there are more. The thickness of the doors prevents you from hearing anything detailed, although you think you hear the words "hunt" and "padre". You return to your room excited yet also apprehensive.
I must say that I forgot that spy reports didn't show role, but at the same time I assumed that the shiny knife meant that Euro was a hunter. I mean seriously, what does having a weird habit of having one eye open at night have to do with a knife.
I didn't even check the description from the first page, another newb mistake. Honestly, I should have been smarter, and maybe lived a little bit longer.

There is only one thing left for me to say.

Not to point out the obvious but this win might have something to do with being cursed and hunted after all the scanners were dead. The fact that no one pointed the no hunt out after randy died, speaks volumes of the investigative work involved.
Regarding the spy reports, they seemed to become less useful towards the end, but the spy reports never showed role explicitly, and would never show someone was blatantly a wolf. They show interactions between players, and whether or not someone *might* have went out during the night. As the game went on, and most of the traits and roles died away, the amount of information in the spy reports naturally waned. If someone spied on a wolf that hunted that night, there would at least be an indication that that player may have been out at night, i.e. the spy could not confirm 100% whether or not he stayed in bed (naturally there also needed to be cases where this happened to innocent players, too, otherwise it would still be too powerful).
Yes. In fact, I thought it might have been clear the last wolf must have been a turn, in which case, Hax's seer-scan not only didn't clear him, it also made him a likely hunt target and therefore a likely potential turn. The village didn't seem to go down this route though.
I think Marty did a great job going this but honestly I am very disappointed in the game. In went from lynching at least 1 baddie a day, without much thought, to zombing out for the last 5 days of random lynchings. Not sure if it was the lack of more powerful wolfs, gimped cultists, or just the number of people
I think it's more the fact that in large werewolf games, and this one especially, the most active players tend to get killed off early. Arkasas, Tonkatoy, Wagonlitz, Skobelev, You, Panzer, EURO all died before the end-game. Same kind of thing happened in Infernal Affairs. There's just something that makes most players want to kill active players and that has a detrimental effect on the end-game.

Once randy died, the village got lazy. Then I did something resembling analysis and got hunted.
I would say panzer and arkasaz were really asking for that early lynched, I really should have let it go but it was my first large game in a while so I forgot that zombies is encouraged
On that note, the reason I decided to play so baddily in this game was because I am sick of playing wolf in Big. Seriously. Would the next GM make me the seer instead, or something?
I apologize to my pack for exposing us so early in the game. I apologize to the baddies for failing to take out the JL completely before my death. I apologize to the GM for allowing him to be a hack without me.
