Aw c'mon, don't be so hard on yourself. You were not wrong in any way on the choices you made. This was a more experimental game than others, so some of the problems that arose could not be foreseen. Keep in mind that a lot of past mods have had obstacles or problems arise during the game. In the game I modded, one of my wws had to drop out early and I had to make the decision whether to create a new one. I made what I thought was the best decision, but still not everyone was happy. And I know there have been mods who have encountered issues a lot worse than that...and a lot worse than this as well.

So don't let a few problems discourage you. Like I keep telling you, I have absolutely nothing against you. I thought your game was a wonderful idea and you did a great job working on it. When you first told me about the concept about someone secretly having extra vote power, I found it fascinating. It's a new role which adds some interesting twists, though like any experimental role, it could be tweaked and altered a bit if ever used in future games. Of course you have to try out a new role first before you can know what could be improved.

All in all, I did enjoy this game. I think I just put too much time and effort into WW which can be cause for extra frustration. So perhaps in the future I shouldn't try so hard and be more carefree and less analytical. Now we'll just have to see if I can actually change my style.

Btw, will the coin flip be streamed on live video?
