Thanks! I just scanned the OP and oh boy, it's something that I would jump into once I have more free time. Will really have to analyze the OP later on.

I still did outwit you. The problem is, it didn't do either of us any good.
As I said, it's a lot harder to play mafia as Town, because you actually have to solve the puzzle instead of already knowing the puzzle and deliberately trying to get it wrong as scum.

Eh, I was hoping that my flip would convince people that you were Mafia. I was like "ME is dismissing himself!!!" sort of deal. Of course, as it is, I am completely wrong.

And look from it from information theory. even if town got good information, town usually needs a minimum of two bits for information, one for actual information and one to clear the uncertainty. Mafia pretty much has most of the bits to sort through all the entropy for their own benefit so the number of bits required for them is much lower.

So really, the game by the online nature favors Mafia. And it's a NOC game which makes it much tougher for town.

Here's some helpful advice for the future. Yes you flipping town should have made ME look like scum, but I had prepared for such an instance by breadcrumbing to undisputable evidence of my Towniness. That way, when the lynch mob begins to form or people start to doubt that I'm town, I can go back and point to those breadcrumbs that I left before people were suspicious of ME. Anything I say or do after people are suspicious of ME will be viewed as weak attempts to defend myself, but if I was setting stuff up before being under suspicion, then it looks less scummy when I start to defend myself.
