Immortal raven, what have you got against me. Kill me night 1 in my first game back and when it doesn't work, off me again later. Seriously.

Gotta say, with Darq's explanation, I find it pretty hilarious.

I am fairly smug on my Immortal_Raven read. He usually picks mafia with great acuity when he is the serial killer.

Made me angrier when darq told me post mortum that he was mafia friendly. He kept killing us when he could have won with us.

Grumble.

Admittedly, I didn't make it explicit. He would have had to read his win condition, and when players learn they are the SK, they assume they know what their win condition is

I love SK roles that are more than just: Kill Everyone

One of my favorite Roles ever was when I was Heero/Wing Gundam in a movie game.

After a certain number of kills, I could just become a vanilla survivor, and I almost got it.

One final thing (yes, yes, I know, I say this too often), this game's name Samurai was sort've a hint as to the theme, as I always envisioned the Samurai as the Law of the past. A bit of a stretch, but there you go.

Looking back at all the past HAWT games, we have a nice array of winners:
HAWT I: 1 Mafia, 1 Neutral Survivor
HAWT II: 4 Cult
HAWT III: 3 Town
HAWT IV: 1 Serial Killer
HAWT V: 3 Town, 1 Neutral Survivor (+1 Neutral Midgame)
HAWT VI: 4 Mafia, 1 Neutral Survivor
HAWT VII: 3 Town, 1 Neutral Survivor

Interesting to see the Survivor win 3 times in a row.

Next game MAY be Embrace The HAWTness Redux II: The Movie Edition. We'll see.

What would you guess as a time frame on your next game offhand?

Sorry you feel that way but my role wasnt a survivor neutral type...see if you have those then yeah you can do what you want....but as a specific win condition survivor you have do something and thus as you see I had to prolong to win....funny thing I figured I would not get hit with PGO as I often go whole games not being targeted I have been told by mods

Not til early August at the earliest, probably.

Hey, I am not complaining overmuch. I was able to make some kind of sense of the other clues you sent.

At least you're not like Stan, who in the same situation would have sent a clue about Kaylee that would read something like this: "Special K cereal is soggy when served with 2% white milk, but if you are wearing Lee jeans on a Tuesday then the breakfast mechanic could make a huge difference."

And then expect me to get the clue "because it's crystal clear what he meant." Hahahahaha!!!!

In all fairness, mosy of the time clue cop is a mafia power in my games. Not a role that I would use for a fake claim but there you go.

Just like you always are: 100% EEEEeeeevvillllllll.....

I will say that giving the town a theme hurts the mafia. Coming up with role claims can often be challenging enough. Having to have them fit a theme that you don't know what it is adds to that.

Personally, I think the mafia should have been told the theme off the bat (as they usually know their own theme). But maybe I'm based here.
