Before we close this thread, i'd say two words about the two players who played the game really well.
1. Fred
He played us all.
I said that some circumstances helped him a lot, and it's true. The other 4 gangsters were standing in the shadows, no-one noticed them in the opening 3-4 days. That made Fred's job really easy. He didn't have to protect his partners and thus reveal his role. All he had to do was to watch the active civilians accuse eachother and act like a lost, confused civilian.
Nonetheless he did it brilliantly.
2. Seven
- As all the other civilians he started from zero and the confussion at the start was normal. All he could do was to accuse random players and see if they'll make a mistake. Since the gangsters were quiet, he ended up accussing civilians and it took him nowhere.
But the moment he saw that Fred is a gangster, he played the game better than all the other remaining players and i think that he was the only one who successfully predicted who the remaining gangsters are.
Of course, congrats to the civilians who remained alive. That fact itself says that they played the game well.
