Sky has posted, claiming that the US "surrenders." I don't know if Umi has seen it or not, or if he's even going to allow the US to surrender. I was thinking about posting what the mafia SHOULD have done in order to win. Most of what Sky says in his post is BAWWWW and complaining, but I don't agree with his thought that the EU was acting as a mafia force. His claims that the VC were screwed is complete ballocks as well, being that had the VC been a bit better organized, they would have been able to really wreak havoc.
Example:
Night 1: Kill Meri and/or MP, thereby cutting off double lynch AND Diplomat abilities, leaving EU with two reporters, and two veterans that really can't do anything at all
Day 2 Lynch: This is always awkward, but would usually result in the death of one faction or the other (i.e. Robyn, American)
By allowing Meri to live for an extra day or two, this resulted in BK's death as well as additional networking. By allowing MP to survive for the duration, this provided us with access to all tech from all zones, and empowered our veterans to become hitters.
Poor game organization isn't to blame for the VC's loss. Poor player planning and organization does.
Anything else, is simply BAWWW.

Additional factors that screwed the pooch for America:
ReplyDeleteVC infiltration. BK passing as American early on in the game severely compromised the identities of key Americans and made it easy for the VC to target them.
ME involvement. The Americans were in pretty good shape until they started targeting Americans exclusively in their hits. Moreover, the Americans probably would have pulled off their lynch coupe today if they didn't tip of the ME, who informed the Russians.
Does sky even have the authority to call a surrender?
ReplyDeleteNo... he doesn't. Besides, Umi already said that it's not over until he says it is. This makes me increasingly nervous though, because it could mean that win conditions could change based on who is aligned with whom. I think we might want to think about keeping BoD in the dark as to our movements. I'm still not completely confident that MP will survive the day, which means no more technologies for us. We'll see who zero decides to hit, if he even manages to survive.
