So first of all, big thanks to
@Elusia and
@Lambu for hosting this christmas game. To be honest I got worried when Spirit left, but Elu still wanted to host and Lambu helped, and from what I can tell the game went flawlessly without mistakes and it was a very fun game. Not saying that just because I won tho

This wasn‘t as posts-filled like WoW game or some others, but it doesn‘t need to either. A lot of fun things happened, many great plays, and not too difficult to backread.
The stat point system was very interesting, but don‘t recall if apart from the Asako thing it did much else this game

Also Agility was kinda underwhelming compared to Str for the Chads and Def for the cowards.
Winning as Santa feels as amazing as I imagined it would

It really was difficult though. I expected me to die rather soon, or be Det investigated or blocked. But I had both tons of luck and enough good plays to last me til the end.
My general game plan was to contribute enough, while not too enough to aeem dangerous to mafia. Docs and Defense stat exist, but didn‘t want to rely on those, so better to stay in the shadows a bit more. Another fun thing that complements this Santa playstyle is that Santa really doesn‘t care who gets lynched, be it all townies or all mafias. I couldn‘t care less, tho the amount of screwups was fun to see

I suspected desin and Gryff long ago, Linda as well but tried to suck up to them here and there, and not outright call out anyone. Except Asako, but I always bully her

Only revo surprised me, since she played different than in her last game, but prolly the extra experience of what she did wrong the game before.
Stats-wise, I got +3 like everyone for surviving, and +1 for successful night action, so I knew how many nights I still had to survive, which is very neat. I put 1 value stat point in Str just in case the 3% ever help to roll it just in case, all the rest into Def. Think I ended with 3% Str and 45% Def. Not sure if it ever helped tho, was lucky in what other people did.
Sorry
@Vandred 
Santa has no idea what gifts he‘s handing out. Only later it occurred to me that I maybe poisoned you, and postgame confirmed it.. Was hoping you get something strong or cool like Mafia Det action. Gnut I gifted because I like my uncle

Next Gryffindor since I suspected he was mafia and thus more Str and less Def.
Next ones I picked according to what they said about stats. Linda said early that maxing one stat is boring, so thought she‘d have less Def and smaller odds for me to fail. Finishing with James who openly said he put all into Str
The presents were very interestingly picked. Poison status kills someone early, but not right away. Turning someone into Freeman is fantastic for me, as it speeds up my win. Removing everyone‘s skill points though, this is where it starts to get bad for me. Was amazing since it maybe made Gryff easier to be killed by Jammin, but it confirmed a Santa was in the game if that person spoke up, like Gryff did. Same with the NVD, it starting so late is either a Sickly who failed 3 nights in a row or a late Santa gift, which further is there to alert the players that Santa is still there, on Day 5. Got me a bit worried, but it worked out well.
Role-wise, there was a lot of Anti-Santa

Mafia Det, Spy and Mortician(is a direct counter to me since I love to fake active claims, I almost said I bodyguarded Vand N1 but Juviii wrote her role before I did, which saved me

). I learned to be less eager with my claiming, and the extra patience made sure I don‘t get screwed over. I also considered claiming Hider, which would‘ve equally been a disaster
Town was pretty strong this game tbh, 2 useful Dets, Apprentice, 2 Sane Docs, Prostitute, Mortician, Noble, I Child... But it was very well balanced with a strong Mafia. The Gambler threw me off, I never got targeted nor did anyone ever complain about getting their vote corrupted. Really good and thought out game, big props to Elu and Spirit for making this. Feeling proud of
@Tux, he started off as my cohost
I also looove how connected this game‘s happenings are, everything led to something else. The Vand poisoning led to Asako‘s demise, James saving me led to all that and a Santa win(town could‘ve still won thanks to Jammin), only sad thing about Santa win is that I‘m really curious how the game would‘ve continued. People bought my claim so I prolly would‘ve made it more nights if needed
Thanks to everyone for playing, was one of the most fun games yet. Wish you all a great christmas and new years‘ eve!
