GAME FREEZE!
Night 3 Update
Knowing that this was potentially their final chance to keep the Emblians away for a bit longer, the Askrian Summoners fired their Breidabliks, but to no avail... They had shot one of their own once again...
Then... In the breeze, they heard words, drifting on the wind... Words that sounded as if they were from the not-so-distant past...
Night 3 has begun. During the night, there is to be no posting in thread. Night 2 will end on 10/22 at 7:30 PM. Subs will be contacted for numerous players. If you wish to sub, contact me ASAP. This may very well be the last night of the game.

You also have the power to control the Grand Battle Heroes, powerful Heroes who cannot be summoned by normal means, but controlled with Embla’s contracts. Each day, you may PM me “Contract: Grand Battle Hero to Player”. That player, who does not necessarily have to be Embla aligned, will receive that Hero instead of the Hero they would have summoned that night. You may give someone...

Endgame Update
Knowing that a successful kill would give them reign over all of Askr, the Emblians got to work in the night in order to get a successful kill. Unfortunately for the Askrians, their only hope chose not to act during the night, leading to the death of them all...
One by one, the Emblian summoners revealed themselves...
Thank you for playing the game everyone! It was a blast hosting! Everyone can feel free to talk about the game now! All QTs, the Master Doc, and the Master Spreadsheet will be posted shortly!

@quakingpunch73 will there be a playrating?
To what extent? I probably will not get around to it.
Any extent is fine, NP if you can't get around to it
Woo get ready for a large post with my opinions!
First things first, this setup rocked. Props to Quaking for all of the great abilities implemented in this game and creative system. Almost everything was perfect, so great job for that! To be honest, the worst thing about that game was pretty obviously the break. I forgot where I left off, and only 1 townie continued from there, which was-uh-pretty sad. So I would put in some comment about "town never looked back at past days or did any analysis" but that's useless because town actually did nothing on that last day.
Second things second, I'm officially gonna make a commitment to killing the least active players as scum when I have no other differentiating factor because it leads to games like this where awful Gekki arguments stalled out conversation. And I hope you guys do to.
Play this game was mostly normal, super sheepy but whatever I give up at this point. Just, as always, stick to your convictions and post your thoughts more.
One exception to this is @GekkisaiDaiNi, who I super wanna talk to because his strategy was being super annoying and flooding conversation. Please never do this ever again, as town or scum. It completely ruins the playing experience. Literally every point I made on you was a legit point I would as town, so please never do any of the following again: make strange cases where "the posts explain themselves", strawman, make a argument where you repeat your point over and over instead of respond to defense, and twist words. There's a reason we don't like playing in Camopostville, and when you, unlike Camo, don't have the skill to nail scum from it, it's even worse. K Thx Bai.
The one part of the game setup I really want to talk about were Grand Battle Heroes. There was so much GBH hate that I saw in the game that it never made sense to actully use one if I couldn't know its effect. It's kinda like GR Secret Machines, but nerfed to the point that I saw them as too dangerous.
General message to town: As always, play the darn game. Make real cases and decisions. Point out gaps in reasoning. Actually post for goodness sake. And don't sheep. That last one is the best lesson to learn from this game specifically.
Also, a couple of deadchat responses!
"It contradicts Morda's claim about me and NP being buddies (something players are likely taking note of)."
Woo this never did anything for me because I never noticed that! Lol.
"NP––is Gekki scummiest, or should you lynch TSM today? You can't have it both ways. Unless you're scum."
This one I actually disagree with. Gekki was the scummiest but no scumteam could work FMPOV without TSM. So TSM's actions weren't that scummy but the circumstances outside of him made him most likely scum.
Also, where's Drac's role?

Oops! It was a townie role with Lissa, Odin, and Cecilia.
My entire case on you was built to make the points on you look bad.
First of all, gg. Been a while since I've played a game of forum WW. Had a lot of fun whilst alive. Props, @quakingpunch73.
Think there were a lot of things going wrong that game, tbh. I blame town inactivity, though props to scum for quickly weeding out the most vocal townsfolk.
I genuinely have no idea why everyone forgot about the case on Gekki after D1. Every single point on him was still valid––he was the scummiest target going into D2, and nobody even considered voting for him. I think at least some of this was probably thanks to NP successfully maneuvering pressure off him, but still––if there's one thing I think everyone should take away from this game, don't forget about D1. The thing with Blob definitely served scum well in that there was little information to be gained going into D2, but just because the scummiest player isn't lynched D1 doesn't mean they shouldn't be looked at again later on.
That said, you've got a valid point. There was just some awkward phrasing that made it seem like you were trying to low-key bus your scumbuddy but then protect him as well.
Thanks again, quaking and everyone else! Wish dead chat had been a bit more talkative but hey. xD
Till next time, y'all!

That's really awkward reasoning tbh. As long as there are three or more players left who aren't you and aren't confotown and aren't TSM, there's a possible scumteam that doesn't involve TSM. The thing that made the post weirdest was that you went into it implying Gekki should be lynched and then ended it with your vote on TSM.
That said, you've got a valid point. There was just some awkward phrasing that made it seem like you were trying to low-key bus your scumbuddy but then protect him as well.

Just thought I'd post my opinions on the game, before the thread gets locked.
Like Jabber said, don't forget about Day 1. Inactivity from town and the fact that people dropped my case after Day 1 is 95% of the reason I won. I would also like to thank @quakingpunch73 for the amazing setup, was great fun.
@NinjaPenguin, my "case" on you was intended to be bad and convoluted in every way possible in order to make the points on you look bad. My first case on rainy was bad, but I was still new and didn't really know how to scumhunt, especially when I was scum, and by Day 2 I'd figured out how to actually scumhunt. Don't expect cases like that case from me again.
Also, please don't be sheep. It makes it really easy for scum, and boring for everyone at the same time. Try to form your own opinions.
I think the lesson to be learned from this game is be active, don't be a sheep, and don't let any single person take over scumhunting entirely. By Day 3 it seemed like town had decided to let NP and I do all the scumhunting, and we were both scum. Remember that.
Also, I know sometimes inactivity can't be helped. But please do try to be active; it makes the game more fun for everyone.
