First off, sorry to my team for playing so badly. I wasn't inactive, I really couldn't think of anything to contribute to the discussion for much of the game :( Would have been the same whether I was village or Mafia. Sorry guys.
Playing NOC was an interesting experience, very serious, seemed like the smallest joke would make you look suspicious somehow. My plan going in was to just act like a villager during the day, only worry about being a Mafia member at night, and not shoot myself in the foot like nearly half the village did. But then I started noticing little things that I could do to mess up the village, such as hiding an opinion that would make a villager look cleaner, that I never imagined from just watching NOC. It was also interesting how since each Mafia member was crucial, they were more careful with their posts (Until about Day 5 I was extremely paranoid that every post I made was making me more and more obviously scummy) while since each individual villager was more expendable, they were more willing to do scummy things if they thought it would help the village. e.g. I stopped doing vote tallies because everyone thought they were a sign of Mafia (btw I included something in each post besides just the vote tally <_< one of them I specifically said I only did the vote tally because I had another reason to post) but I probably would have kept doing them if I was village.
I could be wrong, but it seemed to me like neither alliance played well. khz, Ditto and ginga did great, but I was terrible, and kongs/Maxim/Hydrattler/Pernicious didn't really do anything. The village on the other hand was continuously shooting itself in the foot. N. Jiggly, TalkingLion, Empoof, Orcinus Duo, Aura Guardian, and New World Order all made mistakes that made them suspicious, and combined they caused 4 mislynches, plus gave away the identity of the village Hooker and Mayor. The village never really killed a Mafia either, they IMO got lucky with kongs who was just inactive, and Ditto was killed by Metal Bagon, probably because he was a trusted villager. Yes I was nearly lynched the last Day, but if they really decided to lynch me I could always point out that I stopped the mislynch on TL Day 2, that combined with Mithril's bandwagon of kongs D1 could probably have got him lynched instead of me. Or I could just godkill myself, there was no rule that said votes for a dead player counted as No Lynch, could have had some fun with that :P
Our strategy through the game with our actions was to take out the best player that was considered clean by everyone. Anyone controversial (OD, Aura/Jalmont, EP) were left alive to distract the village and cause mislynches. We had no idea they had power roles, killing Inspector N1 was pure luck, sorry village :( Eventually we figured out by process of elimination that one of Mithril, pokemaniac and Empoof was the Vigilante. We Hooked pokemaniac and killed Empoof to stop his kill (Which I assume was Pernicious) in time for ginga to sub in and prevent us from losing another Mafia. After that we used the Hook to see what boring power role EP had, and when the Announcement still worked, it was pretty obvious he was BG. We never bothered to kill Jalmont/EP since they weren't a big threat to us; we weren't killing the most obvious player usually, and Jalmont never had a reason to Hook me/khz/Ditto.
Not sure if I'll do NOC again, but it was fun to try, wish I'd done better :( Congrats again to my teammates who deserved the victory, and thanks Walrein for hosting :)
