Wait...what?
I dunno fi I should feel proud or insulted?
You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life.
But by all rights, the village should've won this game.
The matter of it came down to, who played the game correctly.
The mafia played better than the Village.
is the Redirect powerful? Potentially, yes, but it requires an awful lot of assuming on the part of the person with that power.
The mafia outplayed the village. It really is just that simple, and if that's not a game with enough balance for you, then I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it and that it didn't meet your approval. But, can't please everybody.

Some thoughts I had along the way:
Day 1 - I had no clue what was going on, and voted for Romanqwerty as I could see he was coming in as number 2. I didn't want to draw attention to myself, yet.
Day 2 - I was surprised by how late in the day Kellie's Epic Reveal was. Phyphor sacrificing himself at this point to try and insure we could get Kellie was a great move on his part, although ultimately it wasn't needed.
Day 3 - I was thoroughly confused by Garrik's story swapping. Ultimately, I had to vote for Phyphor because of his actions on Day 2. I hated voting for a fellow Mafia, but I wanted to win. I was concerned because several Mafia exposed themselves to save Phyphor for a day.
Day 4 - The obvious vote to not arrouse suspicion was Phyphor. He went out in a landslide. I really could see the village was turning on Garrick. I made a misinterpretation at this point, that I thought we had caught the Village Vig that wasn't Garrik's pet, and he had sent his pet onto Romanqwerty. Looking back, I can see instead it was a sign of how much the village felt he couldn't be trusted that they tried to vig him, and unintentionally took out Roman instead.
Day 5 - Garick's, quite frankly, incompetance at putting together a network nearly got me toasted. It would have been much worse off for the Mafia had I gone down, as it would have drawn suspicion on several other mafia members.
Day 6 - Schuss had to be sacrificed as we couldn't have derailed the bandwagon on him. But this was used to setup Skarsol.
Day 7 - Skarsol vote and win.
I have to give a lot of credit to my fellow mafia members. I, for the most part, stayed out of the selecting of targets, and the more experienced players such as Sir Fab, Schuss, and Nodgarb, really knew what to look for in order to catch a special.
Garick, you were easily in position to be a great network head. If you had been more honest up front, you easily could have positioned yourself to lead the village. However, that's part of why I kept pushing against you, was to try and discredit you and put you in a mood where you didn't want to work with people but instead just wanted them to follow orders. Ultimately, I think it worked pretty well.
When Cleo's Vig was redirected to Roman, that was basically it for the village.
It was a great game and a ton of fun.
