Pretty much.

I don't know about that. I thought that was a pretty cool move of DP to claim Town Seer, considering the risk that there was one. I bought it, hook, line and sinker.

Zigmen and mantis made me do it, I'm always town, honestly. It was the voices, the voices of the elves, those horrific elves, and the aliens, and some other eldritch influences. Or something.

I love killer moves when they come off.
I guess I'm on the look out for them.
I guess that's why I hammered gonzo.

There is absolutely nothing that can be done against an uncontested seer that is also scum. Town lost as soon as DP outed. A SK might have balanced him and town needed at least one more full special

I have to respectfully disagree. The Scum team had the disadvantage of me winding up with the Traitor role. I was so sure DP, MZ and Aza were Town, my decision about who to marry off to who was based on who I thought would be targeted and who would be blocked. I also thought Scum would be waivering about whether there was still a hidden Doc in the mix (I certainly didn't know). I almost picked MZ to be DP's spouse, but figured at the last minute that Scum would hit Aza as a safer bet. If I had picked MZ instead (remember, I thought all three were Town), Town would have learned DP's role, and I trust Irre, Aza & Matt would have worked out they had to kill Zigmen and me, and presto, a Town win. I believe the outcome was still very much in the air, until my final action. It's interesting and ironic that it got me lynched, but still led to a Scum win.

If you view a traitor with special abilities a pro-town role you have some pretty funny ideas about game balancing.

You or shizzle were going down on day 5 amok, the original plan was to view shizzle as Zigmens role, but when you came up as not on the town list it was too perfect not to switch to you, the best lies always contain a grain of truth.

Have to say I was damned nervous for those few hours on day 5. Kept expecting a nasty twist.

No, no, I don't mean that. I mean the good Scum play, combined with my poor Traitor play, could have resulted in a Town win.

Seriously, this was about as unbalanced towards scum as a game could possibly be - other than having like 1 fewer scum than town or such. No seer and a sort-of-seer who is scum was about as fair as matching a 90 year old man who once boxed in college against the current heavyweight champion in a boxing match. And no doc??? No vig????? Seriously 3 scum, a traitor and a role that town has almost no chance of seeing as non-town and only 2 town specials who are only half specials and not that powerful ones? Plus giving the same role name to 2 town players? What were you thinking? This is almost as bad if not worse than Ishmael's Trailer Park Boys game at RnR a couple years ago - where scum had a role who had an extra kill and 2 blocks.

Not every game is a perfect balance.
I had a blast.

That's kind of like saying about a hydrogen bomb "not every explosion is one you can hold in your fingers without injury."
