Well, it was sometimes frustrating for me, too. I'd have something timed, then I'd have to PM Crankshaft instructions, wait for him to get the PM, distribute it, then wait for yinz to open the PM and actually post.
There were several times I had to delete unopened PMs to Crankshaft because game conditions had changed. And several times he opened them at just the wrong time and I'd either have to tell him to disregard them or just allow the inappropriate action to be taken.
Oh, and I didn't want to muzzle you guys. That caused me a little grief. In the end I had to tell you to shut up because you weren't playing ball like good little slaves.
BTW, I did not know any powers of the people I took over. That was very difficult for me. How was I to make use of their powers if I didn't know what they were? I only learned of WK's powers (doctor) when he came out.
That's where I think so much balanced out. Crankshaft's design was good. I had control over people but their usefulness was really limited to voting. Given that I didn't get a majority until Day 8, I didn't have much power. Two frickin' days went by without a lynch 'cause I couldn't muster enough votes. That was the point when I got really frustrated.

Just wondering - did you send Crank a command for me to vote for Pecky before I voted for you?
After that, not un-pizzaing you was about the only play I had left. I had to hope that exchange, combined with what happened with EPP, would be enough for the village to figure you out.

No, I didn't. I didn't think you would do that and I was a bit lazy. I quickly dispatched a command for you to vote for Pecky. I didn't think to command you to un-pizza me.

I got lucky there. The village really should have picked up on that. CBear did, but didn't press it.

I asked Crank about that, and knew you didn't know. I thought I had to come out because I was convinced you had gained control of shaf, and you had prevented him from claiming before he was lynched. In hindsight, I would have just said I was Donatello and not claimed doctor, but I guess it really didn't matter.

Haha. At the time I thought of that MASH episode where Hawkeye walks naked through the camp and into the mess tent and nobody bats an eye. It was like that with that other guy, too. All those silly YouTube videos and everybody in the game just went on about their business: totally jaded and uninterested.
