And just got done listening to your final thoughts as a host, Jay; thanks for those. I definitely echo a lot of the comments as well. I always appreciate host recognition even when I played poorly and I know others do as well. Additionally it's always interesting to hear what the host was thinking about certain votes/events/players since they have an omniscient perspective. That's one of the reasons I really love hosting (setting a setup into motion, then watching all the players take their roles and give them life).
One thing I didn't get to talk about too much was differences between text-based mafia playstyles of folks and these Vocaroo RL-esque ones. I didn't feel there were any surprises (though I know some folks said that about Wilgy), but I have met Elo, Epi, and Wilgy before, so perhaps that tempered my expectations. It'd be really neat to play with some other folks who I have no experience with beyond the text-based format.
As to your noted difference between text me and RL me, that's understandable and I think accurate (though it's difficult to judge yourself). Having met DFaraday and some others as well RL throughout my mafia career, I have received a few comments that I'm not that different, and a few that there are noticeable differences; I always find it fascinating to observe similarities and differences in others that I interact with on here and to hear those observations about me from others as well. The rest of you probably caught onto differences with my playstyle/tone here as well. I can feel relatively at ease RL among folks I know, even if that means knowing them on here -- nonetheless my manner of communicating is just different in text I think, although I'm not quite sure how to quantify it. I was just thinking something similar this morning; my in-person conversations with my dissertation chair (in which I feel I sometimes don't say some of what I wanted to say, after the fact) are noticeably different from my emails (which I feel are too verbose and long-winded). I just always feel as though I'm much better at communicating via text (even though far from optimal). Even when I'm among people I know and can actually be myself, RL social interactions always make me a bit nervous (even if I've gotten 9001 times better at conquering that anxiety than I used to be). It's an entirely different story whenever I'm among strangers and/or have to be the one to initiate social conversation; in those situations, I'm much more reserved and completely lacking the verbosity that you all are used to seeing from me on the forums.
This setup was a bit intimidating for me for sure, but I'm just so glad I decided to play. Any butterflies I received while recording were really worth the cool dynamic it gave to the game; I would love to play another. Everyone else who was ever on the fence due to being introverted too should know that playing is totally worth it.

Re: Vocaroo Mafia [END]
A well-deserved win by Epi. I was afraid that you were mafia while I was alive, but had no reason to believe it to be true.
Thanks so much for hosting this, Jay! It was one of the best games I've played in a while just from sheer enjoyment level.
I'm sorry to let you all down, townies, but I had trouble getting a handle on any suspicions at the beginning of the game and I couldn't help attracting attention to myself. I'm not a good power role player.
Seriously, I cannot emphasize how much fun this game was for the short time I was playing it. Rico and Epi's recordings especially were just AMAZING. You all were awesome.
