Petrel went where no pet modder has ever gone before, and touched grass. He was immediately crushed by a falling jet engine.

THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT HAS ARRIVED, AND THE IDOL STANDS ALONE AS THE HONORED ONE.
Akira, Annadeneko, Arcus72, Beebos, Coruptedusername, Darthus, Double Iron Bash, Fragmented, Gaboswampert, Joltsmash, Jumpheart, Keeganskymin4444, Loginator, Lowkey, Magmajudis, Memesbita, Mintly, Mossy Sandwich, Mushroomtester, Orangesodapop, Palpitoadchamp, Rasdanation, Samtendo09, Satofreak, Scionicle, Seito Chinchou, Sheepie, Solrock The Great, Squawkerz, Tanny89k, Topichats and War Incarnate have been deemed unworthy by the heavens, and have now met their demise...THE WINNER OF MMM4 IS CONCEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, that was something. Can't say I expected things to end this way, even as I was watching the wheels in motion. I'm sure a lot of you will be quick to say stuff like, "Idol is broken! How could you possibly think it would be balanced to be able to end the game on Day 4???", or other words to that effect, and while I understand your frustration, I need you all to understand the chain of events that had to take place in order for this ending to be possible.
- Concept reveals to Darthus Day 1 and tells Darthus he will stall his own win to let Darthus achieve his wincon. Darthus's wincon is to have his subs win 3 times so it's not like it's completely out of the question for him to win early. While I personally wouldn't have believed Concept there, it's at least an understandable position for Darthus to take.
- Concept reveals to memesbita Day 2. Memes has a game-ending goal. He can only win once every player has won a slate. This means his goal and Concept's are COMPLETELY incompatible. Yet for some reason, memes doesn't out Concept to anybody, doesn't ring any alarm bells, and just plays along?????
- Concept, Darthus, and memes make a plan to get Darthus a win on Day 3. They use memes's vote manip ability on Darthus's sub, but then Concept backs out of the plan last minute because he didn't like the sub. For some reason Darthus still chooses to work with Concept after this????
- Concept reveals to Mushroomtester Day 3. Mushroom has a goal that requires the game to go to lategame, and she obviously knows Concept is full of shit. Not only that, she actually has enough energy to kill Concept on Night 3. But there's more. She is also in contact with Akira, who ALSO has enough energy to kill Concept if told about his goal. Despite this, she decides NOT to kill Concept or reach out to Akira, reasoning that she can do it tomorrow. What if Concept had enough energy to protect on Night 4?? What would you do then???? And that's completely ignoring what actually happened!!
- The true finishing blow, the crown jewel on this shitstorm of bad decisions, is War Incarnate using Trace on Concept on Day 4. This lets Concept reveal to 1 more person than intended on Day 4, giving him the win a day early. This element was admittedly completely luck-based, but it was only made possible by the string of shocking plays that preceded it.
I understand that it was a risk to introduce such a polarizing role into MMM. My thought was that having such a massive threat in earlygame would force early alliances and teamwork as people rushed to take Concept out before it was too late. However, instead we got people acting against their own best interests and clamming up when they needed to be reaching out. People for the most part didn't seem to understand until it was far too late that in an MMM without factions, it is much more important to make allies and share information, and everyone ended up losing while in the dark because of a few people's mistakes. We will never again add a role that can end the game in such a way, and we're sorry that the MMM experience was cut so prematurely this time around.
However, we do have an additional announcement. The MicroMeta part of MMM is incomplete, with only 6 mons added to the format currently. There's no way that can be truly called a micrometa, so we will be running a Round 2 with the same ruleset and an open role list in the very immediate future, using the mons from Round 1 as the baseline for Round 2 submissions. While I understand the mood may be pretty sour for anyone not named Concept right now, I think I speak for all of the GMs when I say we would greatly appreciate feedback on how to ensure Round 2 runs more smoothly for everybody. Thank you for playing MMM, and we'll hopefully see you all soon.

Sorry about that
I can't believe I did everything right and lost because of something I had no knowledge of or control over. This truly was our Micrometa Mafia.

I want to be completely honest, I never had the intention of ending the game this early. I had fully intended to keep my promises with Darthus, memes and mushroom and fully wanted to stall the game until they could accomplish their winconditions. I think the order in which I found people had a huge impact on what happened in the game, had I not teamed with Darthus on the first day, then it’s rather unlikely that meme would have gone along with me. I also figured that out abilities would trigger at the same time, so I assume that they had figured the same thing.
I also just want to say that on Day 3 I did not go with N’s vote solely because it’s something that was not possible to get voted on. Normal Jolteon in an RUBL power level with Electric Dragon Ampharos, 100/100 Bronzong and Liligant was simply just not feasible which he understood and was fine with. I had been very open to the people I spoke with that I did not want to end the game so winning like this feels kind of mid, if I had known that somebody could use my ability themselves I wouldn’t have used it a 4th time in fear of exactly this outcome happening.

Hell nah
Me when I set up the idol to die to the unblockable shadowy figure goal & get blamed for letting idol win a day earlier than it was supposed to with no way of knowing that there was a ability to do that
Yeah, the “game ends when someone wins” makes it too easy for the game to end early, good to know a Part 2 is on the way though.
See you in MMM4 Part 2: Earth on Hell.
