Mafia Game Thread

[Nightson]

Sure.

The roles were
Cop
Roleblocker
Bus driver
Vanilla Townie x5
Mafia Godfather and two mafia goons

Night one
Demi tries to invetigate deadlokd
Bey blocks Demi
Deadlokd switches bey and gonzo
Kael tries to kill bey

Night two
Demi tries to investigate Kael
Bey tries to block Crumb
Deadlokd switches Crumb and Demi
Kael kills Deadlokd

Night three
Demi investigates Crumb
Bey blocks Crumb

[livius drusus]

Deadlokd, come in here and confirm the Demi-Crumb switch. I love how that panned out. It was a totally solid move that bey's block (also a solid choice) sent into a tailspin that could have doomed us all.

eta Confirmed by Nightson above. OH YA, I CAN EDIT NOW.

Very early on, because I doubted we had one. I built stock in the potential fakeclaim starting on day 1, because the roles seemed weird as hell and I figured I could potentially use it to take one for the team.

[livius drusus]

Meg, what persuaded you to unvote me and go for Kael instead? I seriously thought I was a goner. If Crumb had been online I probably would have been.

[Megatron]

The Demi-Crumb switch just about fucked us, that was nuts.

i actually texted that when es asked what i thought about the claim. i did block crumbles. i sent nightson if kael is evil block crunb if kael is good block liv.

[livius drusus]

Huh? You were allowed to pick two blocking scenarios? Ohhh, I get it. In case you were offline for the lynch results.

Also, I believe some of you are owed some tauntings? Line up, bey and Adam. You two biznotches are first.

except my scumdar worked just fine for crunb and kael

[Demimonde]

Hey, If I hadn't gotten blocked Night 2, I would have cleared Kael and who knows what would have happened? We prolly would have lynched liv, then maybe Mega or Adam, and would have lost.

Yeah for that switch!

I promised you tauntings way before your scumdar was recalibrated, back when you were all "you've never played like this, meta meta meta evil evil evil."

Too true. Deadlokd and bey, your crossed lines paid off for us big time.

I left fish hooks everywhere, but that was the most dangerous one. You were the most suspicious in my "probably town" list... so I put you at L-1 to see who would bite.

I had Crumb in my crosshairs, and I'd planned to see if we could get a scum hammer. Kael's vote was already on you. (Adam's was too, but he was clear off my scumdar on day 1.)

That shit was dangerous, though. I realized that bey or Demi could have just as easily come around to swing the hammer if pursuaded well enough, so I undid it, and that's when I decided to pull the "reveal".

I was setting up for the next day more than anything, but Kael/Crumb/bey were my axis of evil so I couldn't help but do what I thought would hammer him.

[Megatron]

That said, the distance between you and Kael on my scum-o-meter was practically fucking microscopic. A hair's breadth on each side of "probably town" and "probably scum", respectively.

I almost revoted you. It was ridiculously close.

The fake doctor claim was just as much of a 'beyelzu vindication test' as it was a last gasp effort to give Demi another chance to root someone out.

[Megatron]

Sorry bey. I never believed you. My bad.

[Demimonde]

What was the hook in the "die Demi" post at the begining of Day 3? You mentioned it but didn't elaborate.

[Demimonde]

Yeah, I had trouble trusting bey too. I didn't know enough to believe him scum, but he just didn't seem town to me. Glad I didn't go with my emotions on that.

I'd have run a wagon up someone's ass in five seconds if they'd have voted you. Unless it was Adam, then I'd have shifted away from it.

E: Especially if they'd have voted you with a 'me too' post.

E2: And it had to look convincing or it wouldn't work. Hence the "Die."

[Demimonde]

Gotcha. It confused me, because I had no idea where it was coming from.

I learned a lot this game. Especially to mind my p's and q's from the begining so I don't set of false alarms.

Funny thing is, I was trying to not FOS anyone Day 1 because I didn't want to lose my credibility, that's why I was asking questions. I wanted to be believed after I got all my amazing super secret views.

That's pretty funny considering.

[Megatron]

Kick ass game, Nightson. Kick ass. srsly.

[Kael]

Yeah... Thought we had a chance if I could get liv lynched. Once I went down it was over, as there's no way Demi was going to investigate anyone but Crumb. That switch-accidental-block on night 2 didn't help, as I was really hoping for that innocent verdict from Demi. Losing The Man on day one hurt bad, too.

Such a cool role that I just didn't get in position to exploit properly.

I look forward to the next one.

I'm very happy with the setup, but really the amusement value came from each and every one of you guys.

[livius drusus]

Did you use a formula to determine the balance, Nightson, or did you just balls your way through it? For a small game with so many roles, I'm really impressed with how well-balanced it was. We could have won or lost in about 50 different ways.

Just experience. A cop is good but is worth slightly less when there's a godfather in the game. A godfather is worth slightly less when there's a roleblocker. Both roleblockers and bus drivers are fairly neutral in effectiveness for the town but they can both add some soft protection and there wasn't a doctor.

[Demimonde]

I had to go back and look. I am amazed I was never targeted at all. I guess scum assumed a Doc would protect me night one, night two they went for deadlokd, and no chance on night three.

Astonishing.
