Yay, I can post in this thread now!
The slugs were totally overconfident in this game. The village repeatedly had Juice and Canaan almost salted early, and the rest of them just hung with their slug buddies rather than salt them up and restrategize. Eventually, someone in the village was going to figure it out. Redwill and Jaysmiter did, but it took a while before enough folks listened.
I begged Senka to let me in on the slugs at the beginning. He told me TW, Juice, and Canaan. After a few days, my suspect list for the slugs I didn't already know was: 1. MWB, 2. sdm, 3. LITT. They were defending known slugs, teaming up to vote for people who were clearly innocent once you knew Juice and Canaan were both slugs, and trying to draw momentum away from other slugs. It boggled my mind when I found out MWB wasn't a slug. After Juice got salted, he came around.
It's a lot easier to follow what the slugs are doing when someone lets you in on some of them. Maybe I won't be quite so clueless next time I'm a villager.
I should have played this time, rather than believing you guys would really run at a several rounds per day pace in which I would be a burden to the village because I usually don't have the time to keep up with that.
Redwill should get some rookie of the month award. For a long time, I thought he might be the bird or sexta. I was surprised he didn't get more aid after Juice's little "let's target the rookie" ploy.
Anyway, good job, village. Bedtime.
Oh, and SLUG WARS SLUG WARS SLUG WARS SLUG WARS!
