Academy of Elemental Magic [Concluded]

I think this game serves as the finest example of why detectives are .

I loathe detectives and all the rest of you should too. You should trust your gut over some scan any day.

Otoh, it was my scans that led to multiple scum lynches... however, I admit to being over-reliant on them, and it was my gut that got me investigating them in the first place. I felt bad every time I scanned, like I was kicking a puppy. A puppy that showered me with candy every second kick...

Yes, when you put it that way. We all know that scanning can be a powerful weapon.

But we also saw that scans can be misused, untrustworthy.

I am a bit reluctant to rely too heavily on scans and in the back of my mind I'm always double-checking whether I believe the supposed scanner, the scan-ee, and the reactions of the people involved. But even with my skepticism, I didn't think I'd ever be in a situation where I disbelieved my own scan.

Edse really talked me down from my own scan, just by being himself and answering honestly. There was a truth that shone in his responses that made me doubt the scan result, and that factored with the "utterly corrupted" which was more corrupted than any scum we'd scanned thusfar, told me that something was askew.

I honestly can't recall another time, unless it's an innocent scan in a godfather game, where I've ever actively distrusted a scan over my own gut reaction.

I guess I like mafia because it keeps surprising me. It's never the same old game.

It was really interesting to watch you fight for Edse's life against your own scan result.
Doubting your own scan was also, for me, new proof of your high mafia-playing ability
