mechanics absolutely won JK9 faster but, except in as much as ‘ties rand’ is a mechanic, they weren’t the difference between a win and a loss
They weren’t necessarily the decisive difference, but they were undeniably a more significant factor to the outcome that game than the social reads.
also the misclear and the failure to catch the jk slip were both more significant mechanical pieces of luck for town than the rand
the mechanical misclear was lucky
but most of what was lucky about it was not misclearing a wolf
if we imagine a world where Wazza/Dat gets lynched, and then Italy/Uni gets lynched the next day, that’s … still an overwhelming town win
ah yes
I forgot about how orange and Priestess got lynched D1 thanks to being redchecked
i don’t think i agree that that’s mechanical?
italy attacking me means they thought i was the JK, which is what i was softing all game
yes, you slipped, but it’s not like the nightkill on us made no sense
i couldn’t be bothered to sift through the thread for jk slips and i think amelia already subbed out by SoN so i was completely on my own
