First things first
I did fuck up with claiming up. I fucked up HARD. I looked at the graph hard, but was still confused and claimed something that made me a wolf. The truth is, alot of my bs was based in truth, so it is true that I looked HARD at not making a move with VI. Regardless of what happened, it is true that I was going to open my game with a lie
I would argue against the inefficient play after inefficient play idea. I'd argue that asides from my massive fuck up, my main other fuck up was waiting for haly to say no move. I didn't expect haly to drop a bomb, saw a tiny post, than me slipping in "no move", before any bombs dropped.It was a stupid move, and I kept delaying the reveal
The moment salva pointed out my fuck up, I realized exactly what happened, and by then the damage was irreparable. I had no evidence if I tried to go down meekly, and wouldn't look so suspicious but would likely be the majority easily. When I fucked up, my plan was that unless I acted as pro town as I could, making it look like I would have to be utterly retarded to claim up and act so pro town, I would lose and die meekly. That''s why I kept attacking Ouro. That's why I was helping people figure stuff out
I had dug my hole, and needed to dig a hole so deep I got to China and could say "you really fucking think I dug a hole to China?"
The moment Retro mentioned a tie, I was pretty sure I lost. If the player voted for anyone else, wolves lost. And honestly, I was worried that revealing that info may have influenced the vote. A tie is a good thing for town in ONUW. I just didn't want to point this out e bcause that would be the worst thing for town
Oh, and one last thing. Once I said up and was wolf, saying down would look stupid, and I had the added benefit that by the time votes were cast, the person who became wolf going up would all vote for R_F, and the one person (screw being surrounded by wolves, arggh) who was a wolf but may be unaware might still figure things out and vote royal_flush
I was so close it hurts, and my screw up was bad, but at least the ride was fun
Sorry team. I fucked up hard
