Town of Salem is a game devoid of many of the ways humans can convey emotion: facial expressions, body movements, and most importantly tone. That being said I have never cried (or felt too strongly) about a game of town of salem, or at least before now.
Name: Chai Latte
Role: disguiser
Mafia: mafioso,disguiser(ME),framer
D1: nothing happens
N1: we try to kill someone *success*
D2: rando lynch Sk
N2: we kill again (we are the only killing faction)
D3: Mafioso get's caught by LO, gets hanged
N3: I become the new mafioso, escort RB's me, sheriff dies to pirate making framer useless
D4: don't claim, another person claims Rb'd and we lynch them
N4: RB'd again, framer gives up all hope
D5: Investigator finds a (BG, GF,Arso,Crus) that won't claim and it diverts attention from me, mafia splits townie votes and fails the lynch
N5: I come up with quite the risky play, my framer gives me the go ahead
D6: claim jailor and that 6(escort) is obstructing my exes, town buys it and splits votes
N6: no rb, I kill
D7: I claim that I had been consistently been jailing 5 and that my releasing them caused the mafia kills. the (BG,GF,Arso,Crus) finds that sus and pushes on me instead of pushing back on the invest. I get voted up and call the town idiots for voting up the only jailor claim. #5 (whom I'd accused of being mafia) guilties, invest/framer inno me.
N7: rb'd, tell me framer to push with me
D8: push on 5, while invest pushes on (BG,GF,Arso,Crus). I agree to exe (BG,GF...) as long as invest helps me get 5 up, we fail(as planned)
N8: coordinate W/framer to push on (escort) when I rage on them for the rb's
D9: (BG,GF...) leaves, this time instead of pushing on an unclaiming individual we push on the escort. we push up (escort), we all guilty, it is revealed they are escort. I then plead to the pirate to help me out.
At this point the remaining neighbors are:(BG,GF...) who left, me, my framer, an unclaiming(#5), the invest, and the pirate
N9: pirated
D10: (BG,GF...) is shown to be the lookout. I plead to the pirate, they stay silent. #5(confirmed arso at this point) asks the pirate to stay neutral. invest probably realises the loss and more or less stays quiet. 2 votes for arso, 2 votes for me.
N10: kill the invest(loose thread) and the pirate kills my framer
D11: I plead again, using the most deferential language possible (e.x. I played my heart out, points for creativity?,I'm begging you here) Pirate still doesn't speak to me. voting phase starts and me and the arso vote each other. arso tells the pirate to "stay out of it". I tell the arso that "not voting is voting with the arsonist".
Arsonist finally makes a move with FIVE SECONDS LEFT...
the arsonist votes me up.
I state my case.
"I played my heart out on this one, I got multiple people to believe a jailor claim. come one, we had a framer and a disg. I need some help here, please! Arsonist didn't even bother to claim, I deserve to win this"
Kongo(pirate) has voted
the arsonist didn't even bother to vote, knowing that if the pirate wanted me off the stand I'd be innoed regardless of his vote.
(arsonist) abstained
Kongo(pirate) Guilty
"this pirate has no mercy..." *splat*
I shed a tear after that game, I don't think I've ever felt more robbed of a victory
living your best life despite knowing that your life couldn't have unfolded any other way is the most effective condemnation of the nature of reality. Done by complying with it in its entirety. Be your best self, you don't have a choice either way.
