I would like to start this by saying the following "holy crap, I survived!". Next, I'm a little late (duh) but I have my thoughts on the day, what few I was able to come up with while super-skimming on the hopes of finding a valid reason for voting anyone (which I didn't really find).
I don't think it's unexpected for the thread to be quiet the day before Thanksgiving. I spent the day traveling.
I do find FF's and AAF's lack of participation concerning. Weren't they going on about how much free time they'd have to devote to the game over their holiday break?
I would like to note that I was complaining that I WOULDN'T have a lot of time. We were in school Wed, Family Thurs, Work Friday. Not a lot of free time (AKA: none). So, now that's out of the way...
I don't think being a newb has anything to do with how many games one has played. To me it has to do with a person's grasp of the game. In my mind, AAF is still 100% newb.
Oh boy, what am I, 150% newb?
I honestly can't say whether AAF is evil or not. I do not know if he is, and looking at it as though I was in his shoes... well, it's still a 50/50 toss up for scum or not. We play the same basic way, both are easily rushed when evil and innocent, and we both dig our own graves. I would hesitate to say innocent, but only because I often screw up in the same way (overdefending) when innocent.
Quick question JB, let's look at FF's play and compare it to AAF. I didn't see any difference between the two of them in their play last game. Yet, FF started playing the same game I did back in Mafia 63. How long do you think we should give a player a pass before expecting them to step up their game?
How long before we figure they should be smart enough to not post if they can't do so without digging their own grave?
Well, it only took me... how many games has it been since I started? And I'm still learning

However, I do think that game 4 isn't long enough to master the skills of mafia, though I'm sure some people can.
If I could re-vote, it would probably be on labby. She's the one who stated first that myself and AAF would have "plenty of time" and had been saying we had plenty of time. I never said such, and even if I had, things can change. My work could have called me in if I wasn't already there today. They could have done so Wed or Thurs too. I could have gotten sick from over eating (my sister did). So what people say they can do is rarely what happens. Besides that, why is it so vital that what is said BEFORE the game starts or roles are handed out be held to when the game starts. So yea. Labby, you're my next vote.
