GG to Pizza and all. Grats to Rask for a memorable game with interesting design.
First, check out Burgundy QT, it contains a lot of direct responses to thread discussion.
Someone who really impressed me, other than the obvious, was Choxorn. He put in some of the most incisive towning I have known from him. He was seeing things no one else saw, not even Pizza.
Pizza, you were putting in Capo IV work in a much smaller game. You've come out of retirement seemingly more powerful than ever before. So I have mixed feelings about this game. On one hand, it was charming to watch you return to operate at peak performance in a cool setup. On the other hand, it's genuinely not fun or within my cognitive capacity to engage with 50-100K words per calendar day. Much less so as a mafia goon, which I don't like to play even in congenial environments (is it surprising that my most enjoyable mafia rands have been alongside you?)
You're at a level of play I can neither achieve nor sustain. The flesh is willing but the mind is weak.
My other regret is that we didn't get to observe the grand clash between champions, Pizza and Tim. Would they have solved the game even faster, or would they have destroyed each other like an unstoppable force against an immovable presence? The only surety is that the thread would have become even more opaque.
Ace, why were you so adamant D5 that Pizza would again be threatened?
