Mini Mafia: A Mexican Standoff II [Concluded]

[Myrddraal]

A Mexican Standoff II


"Mexican standoff is a phrase referring to a strategic deadlock or impasse, in which no party can act in a way that ensures victory."


"In popular culture, the Mexican standoff is often portrayed as multiple opponents with weapons aimed at each other, where each opponent is equally threatened and thus does not believe they can strike first without assuring their own destruction."

Story (as part I)

The Story so far....




Summer in the west, bandit in the cells. A Deputy dismounts outside the Sheriff's office in a small desolate town. The door creaks loudly as he enters to the stench of whiskey. The Sheriff is drunk, the Sheriff is always drunk.

The deputy is young, and new to the job. "Howdy sir, I'm here to collect Graciano Medrano, to escort him to the Courthouse in Elbayo"


"Wadyuwant?" Apparently the alcohol has stuffed up the Sheriff's ears too.


"Could I speak to your deputy?"


"He's out, whadyouwant?!"


https://img99.imageshack.us/img99/8740/12007452zy6.jpg


Some time later, the deputy leaves the Sheriff dosing in his chair, and takes the bandit outside. After binding his hands behind his back, and his arms to his side, he helpes him onto a second horse, and rides out into the wild, leading the second horse by a cord.

Graciano Medrano is no novice however, and he soon pulls a small knife out of his trousers and begins to work on his ropes. Soon, his hands are free and, spurring his his horse forward, he punches the young deputy in the small of his neck. The deputy doesn't stand a chance, his unconscious limp body slides from his horse and lands in the dust. Soon, Graciano has a gun and two horses, and is riding back to say his farewells to the Sheriff.


https://img99.imageshack.us/img99/7198/42168466da0.jpg


When the deputy comes to, his vision is swimming and there's a thunderstorm in his head. The Bandit is gone, the horses are gone, and his revolver is gone. Staggering to his feet, he begins to hurry back towards town.


The Bandit, meanwhile, stops for a midday siesta. Lazy, and tired, he uses the excuse that he'll need all the energy he can muster later.


At the same time, two Bounty hunters arrive in town. They've heard that the Sheriff has somehow captured a valuable Bandito, though they don't yet know who the Bandito is. They hope to con him into some kind of 'financial arrangement' in which they claim the bounty and he gets a cut.


As they dismount outside the Sheriff's office, the Bandito arrives in town, a trail of dust following him, and rides up to join them.


"How can I help you gentlemen" It's the Sheriff's Deputy, returned from his patrol, emerging from the office. Suddenly, through the still clearing dust, a figure half runs, half stumbles.


"STOP!" It's the dismounted, anarmed deputy. Dazed, tired and unstable, he related his story to the gathered crowd.


"Enufff" slurs the drunken Sheriff. "Enough iss Enough! Let's hang that sumbi**h"


But in his state of drunkeness, the Sheriff, peering through the assembled faces, can't remember who the Bandito is, in fact, to his growing embarrasment, he can't even recognise his own deputy!


The unarmed deputy's vision is swimming. That knock on the head took it right out of him, and when he tries, even he isn't sure who the bandito is.


Hands hover by holsters, and the noose hangs ominously from a nearby tree...

Roles:


For those who followed part I, the roles and rules are the same, with one important difference.


Nobody, including the two bounty hunters is allowed to communicate by PM. Please stick to this rule, the game depends on there being no communication by PM.



1 Drunk Sheriff
2 Deputies
2 Bounty hunters
1 Bandito


https://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2296/drunkcowboyho9.png 1 Drunk Sheriff (The King Role, Armed)
If the Sheriff dies, both he and the Deputies loose the game. He doesn't know who anyone is.
:cowboy: 1 Sheriff's Deputy (Armed)
He knows the Sheriff, but not the Bandito. He must protect the Sheriff.
https://img70.imageshack.us/img70/8487/uneasycowboyxg0.png 1 Disorientated (Unarmed) Deputy
He knows the Sheriff, but not the Bandito. He must protect the Sheriff. He is, however, unarmed.


https://img81.imageshack.us/img81/2648/bountyhunterwy0.png 2 Bounty Hunters (Armed)
They don't know the Sheriff, but don't care if he dies. They just want to kill the bandit. They know each other.


https://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9528/banditve4.png 1 Bandito (Armed)
He knows nobody. He must kill the Sheriff.



Phase 1: Lynching


As with all mini mafia games, it starts with a Lynching phase. Justice is hard in the west, real trials are hard to come by, and punishment is delivered by your peers, through a noose.


Every player has one vote. The aim is to lynch the Bandit, and (in the case of the deputies) prevent the Sheriff being lynched.


Of course the secondary aim is for everyone to work out who the bandit is, and for the bandit to try to work out the identity of the Sheriff.


In theory, Lynching continues till the bandit is lynched.


Phase 2: The Mexican Standoff


At any point in the game, any armed living player (everyone except the unarmed deputy), can break the standoff. Note that there is no "last chance kill" for a man who has just been lynched, you can only break the shootout if you are alive and well.


To do this, an armed player must PM me with the name of the player they want to shoot.


I will then announce the fact the Standoff is broken, and all players must PM me with instructions as to who to shoot. The identity of the first shooter, and everyone's targets will not be revealed till all orders are in.


The resulting shootout is resolved by the order in which people submit their orders. The fastest (on the draw) shoots first, and if you've already been shot, your orders to shoot are cancelled.


I will then post the results in the thread. If both the Bandit and the Sheriff are still alive, we have a second round of shooting, till one or both are dead.


The timing of breaking the Standoff should be critical to the game, think about it carefully, whoever you are.

EDIT: Aww i missed it..

[woad&fangs]

:bigcry:

[Myrddraal]

PMs sent

Let the lynching begin!

With 6 people playing, it takes 4 votes on one person to lynch them.

As soon as any player has 4 votes, this voting phase ends.

[The Wandering Scholar]

:smile:

[The Wandering Scholar]

I lynch Andres

[Charge]

I lynch Andres
Ho ho ho ho....

[shlin28]

Vote Charge, why the ho ho ho?

[The Wandering Scholar]

hmm why did charge say that when he is not playing?

[Caius]

I wanted to play, its an interesting game and I wish luck to every1.

[The Wandering Scholar]

Thankyou Caius

[Charge]

Vote Charge, why the ho ho ho?
people stop ******* voting me even when I am not playing it at all :wall:

[The Wandering Scholar]

Don't post then

[Charge]

Don't post thenI can post wherever I want. It is common right. And Andres knows what I mean.

[shlin28]

But you are not supposed to...

Unvote Charge, Vote Andres

Let the new game commence once again with alphabetical voting!!!

[The Wandering Scholar]

Take your common right where its wanted

edit *breates in, breathes out* calm is restored

[FactionHeir]

Ohhh alphabetical voting! vote:Andres

[Drisos]

Hmm, so this is game is sort of 3v1, but with 2 people against the 1, but not with the 3. Very different then ordinary mafia... I'll have to pay extra attention:book:

btw, What's with the bandwagon on andres? :dizzy2:

[Ferret]

vote:Andres no reason not to

[shlin28]

Unvote Andres, Vote Elite Ferret

Bandwagonner, plus I want to hear what Andres has to say before he gets lynched.

[Ferret]

yeah I'll change my vote if I hear what Andres's defence is. And I only bandwagoned because if I didn't then no-one would be lynched.

[Drisos]

this lynching-andres-because-someone-needs-to-be-lynched is very suspicious! is there any other reason than his name starting with the a? :inquisitive: :dizzy2:

[Andres]

I lynch Andres

You have to bold your vote.

It has to be in this format to be valid: Vote : Player

:bow:


FoS to everyone who voted me because my name starts with an A :brood:

Trying to get rid of a player with a bad joke, eh?

Vote : shlin28

[The Wandering Scholar]

Andres was helpful

unvote Andres, Vote the bandwagoner Elite Ferret

[FactionHeir]

I think Drisos vigorously defending Andres is scummy. They must be in a team.

[Myrddraal]

Hmm. Technically, The Wandering Scholar's first vote on Andres does not count, because it was not in the correct format.

Because of this, we have still not reached four votes on one player. Voting continues.

Current Tally:

Andres - 2 (Elite Ferret, FactionHeir)
Elite Ferret - 2 (The Wandering Scholar, Shlin)
Shlin - 1 (Andres)

There is currently no time limit on voting, but I may introduce one.

[Andres]

Are you drunk again, FactionHeir?

[Ferret]

Drisos, you must trust me. I am sorry for the bandwaggon Andres

unvote:Andres

vote:abstain

[FactionHeir]

Are you drunk again, FactionHeir?

Sadly I do not drink and am the evil teetotaler who killed the ORG pubcrawl :clown:

[Myrddraal]

Ok, after some thought, I will impose a deadline.

IF someone reaches 4 votes, voting ends.

If nobody has 4 votes in 24 hours, then the person with the highest number of votes will be lynched. If things heat up, I'll willingly extend the deadline.

In these types of games, you can only establish some basic info about the identity of the other players by frequently voting, changing votes, and watching other people's vote patterns. So vote! :cowboy::whip:

[Ferret]

so are you all going to kill me for abstaining? The drunkard wont be happy.

[Drisos]

Factionheir, I was only telling how ridiculous the bandwagon on Andres was.

Oh btw, I'll prove that he's not on my team:

Vote: Andres

Let's keep an updated tally going:

Andres - 2 (FactionHeir, Drisos)
Elite Ferret - 2 (The Wandering Scholar, Shlin)
Shlin - 1 (Andres)
Abstain - 1 (Elite Ferret)

Elite Ferret, why are you abstaining anyway? scummy..

Hey now I look onto it. lots of people voted Andres so far. That makes it almost impossible for him to be on the sherrif/deputy team. :book: (the reason for my vote, too)


so are you all going to kill me for abstaining? The drunkard wont be happy.

btw, this seems like a claim to be deputy?

[Ferret]

yeah I know you know a bit about that team too ;)

I am abstaining because I was being accused for voting Andres randomly, so I figured if I don't vote at all they'll have no reason to vote for me.

[Drisos]

ouch! why did you say that? :embarassed: :wall: :wall:

We'll have only a 1 out of 3 chance in lynching the bandit.. if we miss, he'll have 50% chance on 'the drunkard.' Which would've been less if you hadn't revealed me..:no: :shame: :wall: :wall: :wall:

gah.. this non-pm'ing is very frustrating :(

[Ferret]

what so you are the Sherrif?

heck what does it matter, anyone who votes against you we'll lynch and shoot two other randoms. There was no other way to save my skin.

[FactionHeir]

Erm you realize that the bandit can break the standoff and kill the sheriff?
On the other hand, you guys might be playing and EF is the sherrif and drisos the deputy.

[Drisos]

what so you are the Sherrif?

Lol. Deputy's get to know the sherrif by Myrd's PM. So you're obviously not deputy, so you're lying. Why?

I'm deputy, and I don't know the identity of the other one. I was assuming it was you, but now you appear not to be.


We'll have only a 1 out of 3 chance in lynching the bandit.. if we miss, he'll have 50% chance on 'the drunkard.' Which would've been less if you hadn't revealed me

here I meant.. if us two were deputy, and we know the sherrif, there's only 3 others. we have 1 out of 3 chance to lynch the bandit. then if we missed him, there would be three people left (+ us two deputy's), the bandit among them, so he'd have a 1 out of 2 chance to hit the sherrif..


heck what does it matter, anyone who votes against you we'll lynch and shoot two other randoms. There was no other way to save my skin.

problem is, as factionheir mentioned, the bandit will break off the voting and shoot someone. and you're messing up chances for the sherrif.

Drisos - Unarmed Deputy
Elite Ferret - Bounty Hunter or Bandit
The Wandering Scholar+Andres+shlin+factionheir: the sherrif, armed deputy, 1 bountyhunter, and a second bountyhunter or the bandit.

hmm, thinking of it. EF probably isn't the bandit. if he really thought I was the sherrif, he'd have shut up and shot me.
so, you're bounty hunter, EF. how do you feel about working together with my team? I can give you order whom to shoot. so that you at least won't shoot the sherrif. (note, if he's dead, and you don't shoot the bandit that turn, us both loose. so we're kind of on the same side)
so, willing to help me defending the sherrif?

edit:

please vote off Andres. He's not the sherrif. he's no bountyhunter either, because EF wouldn't vote off his fellow bountyhunter. so, he's either the armed deputy, or the bandit.

if you're the deputy, Andres, please say so. I don't think the bandit will shoot you for that. we can at least save ourselves from wasting our lynch and losing firepower, if you're innocent.

[shlin28]

Are we revealing now?

[FactionHeir]

Considering the deputies know the sheriff and the bounty hunters each other, its probably easy to figure who is who, but at the same time the bandit would likely wait to be the last and just shoot the sheriff.

[shlin28]

So we don't reveal? :dizzy2:

[FactionHeir]

Unless someone counter claims Drisos' role, we can assume that he is telling the truth. If someone does counter claim, then both the counter claimant and Drisos should be considered suspicious. The unarmed deputy is of little consequence either way though.

That said, I don't think a reveal would be good for town.

[Drisos]

Indeed, best not to reveal. I even doubt if mine was overall positive for town... :idea2:

more revealing will give the bandit a big chance to pick the sherrif, just by luck.

when the timing is right, revealing is ok.

I think, if we don't lynch him, there'll come a time that the armed deputy knows that he and the sherrif can win if they're the first to fire, so he should reveal. remember, armed deputy out there, me and the sherrif don't know who you are. keep it that way, unless you know that our team will achieve direct victory with it.

and bountyhunters, don't reveal either. as I said, we're kind of on the same side. if the sherrif is killed first, both our teams lose.

Unvote: Andres
Vote: Elite Ferret

There's still a chance that he's the bandit. Not that it's superb-likely.. but we have none candidates like that. At least we're not lynching the sherrif, and I prefer not to take the risk of lynching my mate the armed deputy either.

Andres - 1 (FactionHeir)
Elite Ferret - 3 (The Wandering Scholar, Shlin, Drisos)
Shlin - 1 (Andres)
Abstain - 1 (Elite Ferret)

[FactionHeir]

I'll hold off my deciding vote until people had a chance to chime in

[Ferret]

yeah sure I'm the bandit everyone kill me for the good of the town :wall:

[FactionHeir]

I think something to consider is that if the sheriff or the bandit had the vote majority and were the imminent lynch candidate, they would break the standoff.

[Drisos]

yes probably. so, we're lynching a bountyhunter? well.. not THAT bad. though we might want to lynch someone else. but we'd need to get in 4 votes quickly while he's off. btw, I don't feel like trying them out until one breaks standoff.. it will be way to easy to pick the sherrif if I reveal more people as non-sherrifs..

[FactionHeir]

Hmmm if the armed deputy were to reveal himself, then we find a time when both you and I are about and you tell me the sheriff's name, I can shoot the bandit before he has a chance to shoot the sheriff.

That depends on you trusting me though.

[edit]
Actually, EF probably is the armed guy. So if you tell me now who the sheriff is, I can shoot the bandit.

I have a feeling that the bandit is shlin btw

Let's do it this way, I am a bountyhunter but I won't reveal my partner currently, because if I do, the bandit has a 50-50 chance of shooting the sheriff.
So:
Drisos: unarmed
me: Bountyhunter
my partner: Bountyhunter
Andres: ?
shlin: ?
EF: armed deputy or bandit?

Andres has been quite quiet, so I dunno. He's just trying to save his hide, so he is a bandit or sheriff I think.
shlin keeps asking if we should reveal, so he can either be armed deputy or bandit. Sheriff wouldn't say that and shlin is experienced enough to know this.

unvote:Andres, vote: shlin
For now.

[Ferret]

I can tell you now I am the armed deputy. I also suspect Shiln as he doesn't seem to know anyone.

unvote:abstain
vote:Shiln

[Drisos]

stop revealing!

ef, so we actually are on the same team?

as soon as factionheir gets back online we should cuddle up you two should start shooting. ef and I will know who not to shoot.

[Drisos]

Factionheir is online!

Open fire!

All, please don't shoot shlin. AND, fire immediately now!

and tell here who you are shooting! don't want to shoot 1 guy with 2 people!

:book:

EF, Don't mess up, think clearly before you act/post! though, hurry before the bandit picks the sherrif

[Drisos]

Myrddraal, I sent two PM's to people. not with info, just an alert. only text was 'mexican standoff' and a few !!! Was just to get them to check the thread. I hope this is allowed?

[Ferret]

who should I shoot lol

[Myrddraal]

Within seconds of each other, 2 people raise their weapons!

The Standoff is broken

Now it's a matter of timing, choice, and luck! Send me a PM detailing who you want to shoot. The first to PM me shoots first. (Those who have already broken the standoff do not need to PM again)

[FactionHeir]

Gah, I had just stepped out for shopping! I shot Andres, but dunno if it counts still.

My mate is Scholar.

[Drisos]

Elite Ferret,

Shoot Factionheir.

oki, final stuff..

drisos - unarmed,
ef - armed
shlin - sherrif
factionheir - bounty > andres
wandering scholar - bounty
andres - bandit = dead

No troubles. We've won, unless Andres was on 'invisible' and shot before factionheir, or Factionheir is lying.

EF, if you're truly the armed deputy, please shoot factionheir. There's no reason to not trust him, and it's not logical that he would be protecting WS if he was the bandit.. but you can never be sure enough. so shoot him, please.

and Wandering scholar, if you really are a bountyhunter, then please shoot EF. There's still a chance he's lying, he's not the armed deputy but then bandit. (though I think that's highly unlikely) if EF's the deputy his role doesn't care about staying alive anyway. (just like my role..)

btw, factionheir and ef, please read your pm boxes. ~:) and please forward the pm's to myrddraal so he'll know that there wasn't real info about the game in them.

and a q: can people switch who they're shooting?:S

[FactionHeir]

Erm so I help you guys and you want us dead? And why should you be the only one alive at the end? :inquisitive:

It would probably be smarter to have more than 1 person shooting Andres. Why? Because if the first person shooting Andres is shot first, then he gets away!

[edit]
And Andres and shlin both are on invisible. When I posted at 3pm, I just shot, but the standoff was broken half an hour prior.

[Ferret]

oops I shot Andres as well, can we change it Myrddraal?

[FactionHeir]

Since we know that Andres is the bandit, there is no reason to shoot each other afterwards.

[Myrddraal]

You can't change your target for this round.

Still waiting for some players to send me their PMs.

[Myrddraal]

I'm going to establish another deadline, PMs must be in to me within 12 hours, or you won't have an action for this round.

[Drisos]

Ok, factionheir etc, you don't have to shoot each other, indeed. It's just I wasn't sure that you and ef were telling the truth. I think so though. I think it's veeeery unlikely that andres isn't the bandit but one of you.. so we'll take that chance and shoot only andres.

now, victory depens on how well andres was looking into this thread..

[Myrddraal]

The Sheriff’s head was swimming, his vision going in and out of focus. He couldn’t remember drinking that much, just a small glass or two of scotch. It must be the heat. The six men eyed each other cautiously, the hot sun beating down on the dusty street. Drisos the Sheriff took an involuntary step sideways, and steadied himself. Finally, someone, a man with a holster on each hip, and a scar on his cheek, broke the silence, and discussion began. Accusations flew. “He’s got a moustache, all Banditos have moustaches. It’s a well known fact.” “FactionHeir looks like a dirty Mexican to me”

Drisos tried to focus; sweat was running down his back. It wasn’t fear or tension, he was far too inebriated to feel fear, this time, it genuinely was the heat. He stared long and hard at Elite Ferret. You’re my deputy right? I think you’re my deputy, boy the heat sure is making the air swim. He thought.

“Who’re you calling dirty? Why I’ll scalp you like an Apache!” “Amigos! Andres is probably el Bandito, su nombre begins with una A!” “Yeah but look at Ferret’s skin, definitely Mexican.”

Something stuck Drisos about that last argument. Something… fishy. Ferret did have very dark skin…


Suddenly, Shlin cried “Look! It’s Andres” and his hand whipped to his holster.

Time slowed. To Drisos, men moved through the hot air as if through treacle. Elite Ferret and FactionHeir were hard on the heels of Shlin, Elite Ferret drawing his colt and FactionHeir raising his rifle, all three men looking at Andres with malicious intent.

In this moment of action, the alcoholic haze surrounding Drisos lifted, and everything seemed clear, almost as if his swimming vision was in perfect anti-phase with the shimmering hot air. His hand moved like lightning, and faster than any other man could move Drisos raised his trusty firearm, and fired all six canisters. The first bullet flew true, and smacked into Shlin’s shoulder, sending his weapon flying and causing his knees to give way. The next 5 shots flew high into the air, as the alcohol once more took over the Sheriff’s coordination.

All this had happened in less than half a second, and before Shlin knees hit the dust, Andres was instinctively reaching for his holster, only to find it missing!

Elite Ferret fired, closely followed by the roar of FactionHeir’s rifle. Two shots smacked into Andres’ chest, sending him flying backwards.

“D-d-d-don’t shoot!” Cried the Sheriff, waving his now empty 6-shooter threateningly! “Shlin is the Bandito, I recognise him”

Shlin’s only response was to spit in the dirt and utter some obscenity. Andres gave a small sob of pain.

At this sound, the only man who hadn’t moved stepped forward, drawing one of his revolvers as he did so, and put a bullet through the head of the crippled Andres. The scar twisted The Wandering Scholar’s face as grinned at the stunned four. “I can’t stand the sound of a dying man” he said with a sadistic chuckle.

Elite Ferret, the deputy, recovered first. “Shlin, you will travel to El Bayo to face justice”

“Now Sheriff, I think you owe us a favour” interrupted FactionHeir.
“Yeah, I’d say without us you wouldn’t have recaptured this Bandito” added The Wandering Scholar.
“Yeah, in fact I’d say we practically caught him for you”
“Perhaps we can come to some kind of… financial agreement”

The four men proceeded to the Sheriff’s office, pushing the injured Shlin ahead of them. As for Andres, nobody knew the poor young deputy from El Bayo, and nobody cared very much if the vultures stopped them burying all of him.

Shootout actual order of events:

4. FactionHeir shoots Andres
5. The Wandering Scholar shoots Andres


Congratulations town, and especially Drisos. I thought at first you'd screwed up when EF said "What so you're the Sheriff?" but I tip my cowboy hat to you, that was very well played. Was Shlin a shot in the dark? If you had followed your own advice and shot Andres, Andres would have been very dead, and we'd have had a second round of shooting (and Shlin would almost certainly have targetted you, he PMd me to ask if he could change his target).

Ironically, two of the players who were in the last game got the same roles as last time, blame random.org.

A small side note about communicating outside of the thread. I meant it when I said no out of thread communication. Even alerts with no words give those you PMd and unfair advantage. Thankfully, it didn't make a difference this time (nobody PMd me until I'd sent out my own PM to everybody) but I didn't appreciate it.

Good game, thanks guys!

[shlin28]

You tricked me Drisos ~:mecry:

[Drisos]

First, of all, very sorry for the PM's. When I sent them I was in doubt what you had meant by PM contact. I figured this kind of wouldn't be exhibited. but it was, shouldn't have taken the chance, sorry, sorry. Well, at least I know for next time! and sorry again ~:)

Btw, brilliant write up! :D Cool story. ~:)



Congratulations town, and especially Drisos. I thought at first you'd screwed up when EF said "What so you're the Sheriff?"

Waaaaah! Me too. I believed EF to be deputy from the start. (He, said 'you have to trust me, Drisos' that was a clear indication..) yet, I thought we was screwing up for me by saying so openly in the thread that he knew me, and worse, that I'm the sherrif. There was a moment of doubt, why would my own deputy bring me in trouble.. well I figured EF hadn't been thinking about the consequences and I tried to bluff my way out. with some luck the unarmed deputy would keep his mouth shut, so there would be no reason for anyone to believe I was bandit. I kept my belief in EF, but decided suspect him openly in the thread to keep things realistic. then, factionheir claimed his m8 to be wandering scholar. then I thought, NO WAY he'd claim such thing if he's the bandit, so I figured both were innocent. I thought, waaaay to big chance for them to hit me, right now, so I started the shootout.


Was Shlin a shot in the dark? If you had followed your own advice and shot Andres, Andres would have been very dead, and we'd have had a second round of shooting (and Shlin would almost certainly have targetted you, he PMd me to ask if he could change his target)

I believed strongly that either shlin or andres was mafia. I picked shlin quite randomly, declared that he was sherrif(instead of me) and shot him meanwhile. (the sherrif claim on him was to prevent double shots, and have others shoot andres) I was pretty convinced of victory, unless shlin was online. as he appearantly was! :sweatdrop: but of course I wasn't 100% sure on EF and factionheir.. I firmly believed that if we were the first to kill andres and shlin we'd win, though.


Thankfully, it didn't make a difference this time (nobody PMd me until I'd sent out my own PM to everybody) but I didn't appreciate it.

Ah, thanks. I would feel very guilty if it had made a difference and had been against the rules. :( Glad it wasn't a big problem after all. and sorry again.

btw, Thanks a lot for the game Myrddraal! By far the most enjoyable small mafia game I ever played!! :bow: I hope to join other in the future.

:bow:

[FactionHeir]

Looks like more of the town survived this time compared to the last (when only a deputy and myself were alive)

Thanks for hosting!
