View Full Version : TF Mini Mafia I - Mass Effect [Concluded]
After playing 4 out of 5 of ATPG's Mini Mafia's I finally decided to try my hand at one. As indicated by the numeral, I hope that this will be the first of several such games, exploring themes not available in ATPG's games.
For this first installment I've decided upon Mass Effect.

Aboard the Normandy
Conference room
Commander Shepard's face turned grim as he assessed each member of his team one by one. During his mission to expose and hunt down the rogue Specter Saren, Shepard had accumulated many allies and several of those, aliens. Little was known of these beings' past and perhaps even their apparent motivations were pretenses. As the fully armed and armored commander of the Normandy paced around the room, he tried to notice some sign, some clue that one of them had be affected. In the end he shook his head and resigned himself that they would have to proceed with an internal inquiry.
"The Council has just informed me of rather disturbing rumors." Shepard addressed his team, looking at no one in particular. "It seems that in our hunt for Saren, some of our numbers have been unwittingly indoctrinated by Sovereign to pose as double agents in our midst."
"Commander, from what we know of Sovereign, that is not possible. We have never been in direct contact with the ship!" Liara T'Soni had spoken up, enthusiastic as usual.
Shepard raised an eyebrow; Liara's mother, Matriarch Benezia, had already been indoctrinated and had proven to be a foe in the hunt for Saren. Perhaps, like her mother, Liara, had become a tool for Saren and his army of Geth?
"Nevertheless, we need to ascertain the truth of the matter." Garrus Vakarian replied. Once a member of Citadel Security, or C-Sec, he had led the investigation on Saren. Yet, like Saren, he was a Turian. How far could he be trusted?
"I don't like it." Groaned Urdnot Wrex, a Krogan Battlemaster and a bounty hunter. Little was known of his past, but it had been undoubtedly violent as there were no peaceful Korgans. Could a mercenary killer be trusted?
"We can't just ignore this!" Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams interjected. She had joined the team when Shepard had rescued her on Eden Prime and they had thwarted Saren's plan to destroy the colony. She had been the sole survivor of her squad, perhaps not by chance?
"I still do not understand how this could be. As Doctor T'Soni has explained, it should be impossible." Tali'Zorah nar Rayya intoned. A member of the mysterious Quarian species, she lived constantly in a suit which protected the weak immune system of her species against the pathogens harmless to the other races, it also served to conceal her features. Her people had long ago created the Geth, which had turned on them and now apparently served Saren. What if she had a connection to Saren?
Staff Lieutenant Kaidan Alenko shrugged. "Whatever you decide commander, we'll do it." Kaidan had been with Shepard from the start and he trusted him, as much as himself. Yet, Sovereign was reputed to be extremely powerful, what if either of them had been indoctrinated? Would he know if it happened to him? If he could not trust himself, how could he blindly trust Kaidan?
Shepard sat down, holding his head in both hands, trying to figure out who could be indoctrinated. Apparently, the rest of the team was doing likewise as the uncomfortable silence in the room attested. He knew it would not last, soon people would start accusing each other. He only hoped they would get to the bottom of this without losing anyone.

Have you ever played it on insanity mode, TheFlax? I got through the first level, but when at the dance club when those two assassins come to attack you, it took 10 minutes for me to kill them. I vowed not to play Insanity mode without weapons/equipment and level 1 again.

Well I say there is something personal!
No no, I have about 6 hours of school after this, and I can't discuss much right now.
I will abstain, but give Drizzt a dirty look.
We are going about this the wrong way. Being the winner of the last two by PizzaGuy, I know what things won it for me being a Mafia-member.
The thing that helped me win the most, is that no one knew who was which player. because of this, all the clues in the write-up went unlooked as no one knew who that person is. Because no one knew I was Ki Mundi in the Sith game, I wasn't exposed as a Sith untill it was too late. Because no one knew I was Uhura, all the clues and violent Klingon nature weren't given.
As there are no night phases, there is nothing to hide role wise if you are a good person, as you won't be assassinated. The only times the enemy can strike are basically on ties.
I will come out first, and I would like all other players to state who they are. Anyone who fails to come out I prepose we shot them in the head. (lynch them)
I am Commander John Shepard, I order the rest to follow by example for the safety of the team and the crew.

More importantly, has anyone played the game Mass Effect? I haven't even HEARD of it before. Any information would be useful, and I don't really feel like reading wikipedia pages atm.
Yeah, I am a player of here. Here is the quick debrief.
Me (Commander Sheperd) is this kick-*** human who gets offered to be a spectre, but first, he must prove himself. His proving mission goes wrong when there is a Geth attack on Eden Prime by Sovereign led by Saren.
They come across and beacon which says about the apocolyse and they say about this to the council, the Council don't believe you, as Saren is their top spectre. You eventually prove it and all this business, blah blah.
Anyway, we should lynch anyone who doesn't role reveal.

He is a Krugen. They are a species which breeded like rabbits and their population was only kept down due to mass civil war. Then another alien species enlightened them and used them as warriors. With no civil war and technology, they breeded like ants and started to grow swiftly into an empire like a locus swarm. The species that enlightened them did what is called the "genoplague" which is a disease where only 2% of Krugen Births survive and it is causing the species to become extinct.

The species that enlightened them did what is called the "genoplague" which is a disease where only 2% of Krugen Births survive and it is causing the species to become extinct.
For the sake of accuracy, even if Beskar said the gist of it.
The krogan are a species of large reptilian bipeds native to the planet Tuchanka, a world known for its harsh environments, scarce resources, and overabundance of vicious predators. The krogan managed to not only survive on their unforgiving homeworld, but actually thrived in the extreme conditions. Unfortunately, as krogan society became more technologically advanced so did their weaponry.
Four thousand years ago, at the dawn of the krogan nuclear age, battles to claim the small pockets of territory capable of sustaining life escalated into full scale global war. Weapons of mass destruction were unleashed, transforming Tuchanka into a radioactive wasteland. The krogan were reduced to primitive warring clans struggling to survive a nuclear winter of their own creation...a state that continued until they were discovered by the salarians two thousand years later.
With the help of the salarians, the krogan were 'uplifted' into galactic society, and lent their numbers and military prowess to bring an end to the Rachni Wars. Unfortunately, after the rachni were eradicated, the rapidly-expanding krogan became a threat to the galaxy in turn, forcing the turians to unleash the genophage. This genetic 'infection' all but sterilized the entire krogan species, meaning they will likely die out within a few generations.

I am Garrus Vakarian, a..... thing? Can someone tell me a bit about him?
For those interested, here's a little bit on each major race of the setting. (There are several other races of lesser importance)
ASARI
The asari, from the planet Thessia, are often considered the most powerful and respected sentient species in the known galaxy. This is partly due to the fact the asari were the first race after the Protheans to achieve interstellar flight, and to discover and inhabit the Citadel.
An all female race (however, see notes below), the asari are known for their elegance, diplomacy, and biotic talent. Their millennia-long lifespan and unique physiology - allowing them to reproduce with a partner of any gender or species - give them a conservative but convivial attitude toward other races. The asari were instrumental in proposing and founding the Citadel Council, and have been at the heart of galactic society ever since.
SALARIAN
The second species to join the Citadel, the salarians are warm blooded amphibians with a hyperactive metabolism. Salarians think fast, talk fast, and move fast. To salarians, other species seem sluggish and dull-witted, especially the elcor. Unfortunately, their metabolic speed leaves them with a relatively short lifespan; salarians over the age of 40 are a rarity.
Salarians are known for their observational capability and non-linear thinking. This manifests as an aptitude for research and espionage. They are constantly experimenting and inventing, and it is generally accepted that they always know more than they are letting on.
TURIAN
Known for their militaristic and disciplined culture, the turians are the most recent of the Citadel races invited to join the Council. They gained their Council seat after defeating the hostile krogan for the Council during the 'Krogan Rebellions'. The turians deployed a salarian-created biological weapon called the genophage, which virtually sterilised the krogan and sent them into a decline. The turians then filled the peacekeeping niche left by the once-cooperative krogan, and eventually gained a Council seat in recognition of their efforts.
Originally from the planet Palaven, turians are best known for their military role, particularly their contributions of soldiers and starships to the Citadel Fleet. They are respected for their 'public service' ethic - it was the turians who first proposed creating C-Sec - but are sometimes seen as imperialist or rigid by other races. There is some animosity between turians and humans, largely due to the turian role in the First Contact War. The bitterness between the races is slowly beginning to heal - shown by Nihlus, a turian, recommending Shepard, a human, to the Council for Spectre selection, and by the cooperation of the two races on the construction of the SSV Normandy - but many turians still hate humans, and vice versa.
QUARIAN
The quarians are a nomadic species of humanoid aliens known for their skills with technology and synthetic intelligence. Since their homeworld was conquered, the quarians live aboard the Migrant Fleet, a huge collection of ships that travel as a single fleet.
Approximately three hundred years ago the quarians created the geth, a species of rudimentary artificial intelligences, to serve as an efficient source of manual labor. However, the geth gradually became sentient, rebelled against their quarian masters and drove them into exile. Now the quarians wander the galaxy in a flotilla of salvaged ships, secondhand vessels, and recycled technology.

Tali'Zorah nar Rayya = Quarian

Voting has concluded, writeup to follow.
Day 1
The elevator whined softly as it descended into the belly of the Normandy and Shepard checked the sights of his rifle for the third time. He was nervous, how could he not be? They were all nervous. During the discussion, some accusations were made against Sergeant Williams, but she never replied. Instead, she stormed off in silence and they had been looking for her ever since. With a loud, sudden noise, the elevator abruptly halted, its doors opening to unveil the dim lighted cargo hold. In the center of the room, Shepard spotted the Mako, a hybrid between an APC and a exploration rover. A part from that, the hold was littered with a myriad of crates, but there was no one in sight.
Shepard took a few tentative steps, weary of an ambush. He felt overly exposed and an attacker could be hiding in any of a dozen locations. Nevertheless, he moved forward, towards the equipment lockers. It was there he finally noticed her, at least her silhouette. She seemed to be rifling through the lockers, looking for something. If she had heard his approach, she made no sign of it.
"Williams?" Shepard came to a halt as he interpellated her.
Once more, she didn't answer and in the face of that silence, Shepard raised his weapon and took aim at her before addressing her again in a soft but commanding voice.
"Ash, Tell me you aren't indoctrinated."
"No." She replied in a conflicted voice which was accompanied by a sigh. "But... I'm guessing you are." There was a certain sadness but Shepard didn't notice it, he was in shock at the definitiveness of her answer. Did she really think that? Before he could give it further thought, Williams spun on herself with her rifle trained on Shepard's chest and fired.
His dark gray N7 armor saved his life. The kinetic shield absorbed the hail of bullets as he staggered back. Instinct taking over, he rolled behind a crate, the next burst of fire hitting the crate instead of its intended target. He cursed silently as Williams continued to lay sporadic fire in his direction, keeping him pinned down. Her standard issue Hadne-Kedar G-912 assault rifle was not likely to run out of ammo anytime soon if she continued using controlled bursts of fire. The weapon's ammo clip contained over four thousand rounds; miniature pellets smaller than grains of sand. When fired at sufficient velocity, the nearly microscopic projectiles were capable of inflicting massive damage. Williams had fired fifty, maybe one hundred rounds, at best.
Taking back the initiative, now that his kinetic shield was fully charged, Shepard unleashed a blind torrent of fire from over the crate and slid to the next one, micro bullets whistling by his head, a few deflected harmlessly by his shield. He breathed heavily, this was fast becoming one of the most harrowing fights of his career, most certainly because this time, the enemy wasn't faceless, it was - had been - a friend. He was going to win, he would have to treat her as the enemy. Anything else would result in his death.
Repeating his blind fire then move maneuver, Shepard managed to get behind the Mako. He considered getting inside and using the turret, but Williams would rip him to shreds as he climbed aboard. He'd have to do this himself. Peaking from a corner, he was greeted by another hail of bullets. This time instead of keeping his cover, he rushed her. Surprised, she nonetheless tracked him with her sights. A millisecond before she fired, Shepard slid to the ground, her micro bullets passing high above his head. In turn, he fired a wild burst which was absorbed by her kinetic shield but forced her to take cover. Moving at a slow and steady pace, he kept his rifle trained in her direction. When she reappeared, he didn't give her to chance to aim and fire again, his bullets chewing at her shield. She ducked back behind the crate. Trying the same thing moments later, yielded the same results, except her shield was failing and Shepard was moving on her position.
She chose to enact the same strategy her commander has used, but Shepard saw it coming. Instead of taking cover, he let his kinetic shield absorb the wild shower of bullets and shifted his aim a little to the left. When Williams tried to slide to another create for cover, he had her in his sights and the automated targeting systems of his rifle did the rest. He only held down the trigger for a fraction of a second, but that was enough to cut through her shield and the heavy plates of her body armor, shredding her lower abdomen. Her momentum made her tumble haphazardly into a nearby create, were she rested immobile and in an awkward pose.
Shepard rushed to her side, kicking away her rifle as he stood over her. Already, blood was leaking from the corner of her lips as she tried to say something. Judging by the wound, she probably had massive internal injuries and would soon pass away. Dropping his rifle, he knelt next to her and took her armored hand in to his, which she clutched with the strength of desperation. Again, her lips parted to say something, but she chocked on the word and coughed out a copious amount of blood. Shepard, her commanding officer and her friend, was at a loss for words. He had killed her. There was a pause as her eyes started glazing over, she shivered instinctively and finally managed to utter words in a weak raspy voice.
"I'm... sorry." With those words, her hand became limp and Shepard knew she was dead. Another casualty in the fight against Saren, but for obvious reason this one felt terribly wrong.
Would they succeed in finding those who are indoctrinated before it was too late? Were they really some members of his team who had been indoctrinated? Had Ashley died for nothing? Only time would tell.

Your theory doesn't hold up, and I think that the reason that you keep going after me is because you've played the game and you assume that our characters would be guilty or innocent based on canonical information. If this game were that easy, what would be the point of playing? I smell a lazy mafioso.

Day 2
Commander Shepard was now stalking through the Normandy's hallway, seeking Wrex. In their latest discussion about the threat of indoctrination he had been callous and it seemed he didn't take this issue very seriously. Shepard was intent on finding him and getting a few answers. With his Rosenkov Materials Kovalyov Mark 8 assault rifle clutched tightly in his hands, he entered the mess hall. Looking left and right for signs of the massive Krogan, Shepard spotted him easily enough. At the far end of the empty mess, Wrex was propped against the was in a nonchalant posture. If Krogans by themselves were imposing, a Krogan in heavy armor was downright intimidating. Commander Shepard, the first human Specter and a hero of the Alliance, would not be intimidated. He started walking to the Krogan wearing a scowl on his rough face. Wrex moved to meet him and Shepard noticed the Krogan was holding his Devlon Industries Firestorm Pattern IX shotgun with a single hand, it seemed little more than a pistol due to his large stature.
"Shepard. You were looking for me?" Wrex asked in his gravel-like voice. It wasn't really a question.
Shepard didn't back down and simply nodded. "You need to answer a few questions."
"You think I have been indoctrinated." The Krogan stated.
"We have doubts. You aren't helping your case." Shepard replied defensively and with some harshness.
"You've come to kill me." Again, Wrex made it sound as a simple statement.
"Wrex..." Shepard tried to interject, but the Krogan continued.
"Its what I would have done."
"Wrex..." Shepard tried to speak up again, but this time he found himself interrupted by a shotgun blast which floored him and knocked his wind out. Nevertheless, with reflexes honed by countless battles, Shepard managed to roll out of the way of the second blast which would have killed him for sure. With his kinetic shield out, he scrambled under a table, a third blast ripping through a chair he had just passed. Rising from the other side of the table, Shepard unleashed a torrent of fire on Wrex, barely avoiding another blast by ducking once more under a table.
Moving from table to table, Shepard alternated between taking cover and firing short bursts. Unfortunately, Wrex didn't seem to be fazed at all by the all the fire his former commander poured in his kinetic shield. The fact it were still holding were a tribute to the size and power of his armor. Yet, Shepard had faced far worst odds in his career, if he could get in position, he might just have what was needed to take out the Krogan.
Rising while firing a stream of bullets at the Krogan, Shepard rapidly strafed around the tables while keeping his finger tightly on the trigger. Bits and parts of chairs and tables flew around him as Wrex fired again and again at him, some of the shots managed to him in part, but his recharged kinetic shield held them at bay. His own micro bullets, at least those who hit their mark, were about as effective, but they were not meant to do any serious damage, only to distract. There were now no obstacles nor cover between the Human Specter and the Krogan Battlemaster. Landing in a crouch, Shepard took out a small disk shaped grenade, which he had picked up after his fight with Williams, and threw it straight a Wrex while the Krogan was aiming a killing shot. To his credit, Wrex did manage to fire before the grenade impacted with his midsection, penetrating Shepard kinetic shield and wounding him in the left leg. The grenade, laced with high explosives, threw the Krogan against the wall, from which he fell prone.
Moving cautiously and with a limp, Shepard moved slowly towards Wrex while keeping his rifle trained on this dangerous foe. He was about halfway to the Krogan, when to his amazement, Wrex started rising from the ground. With cold precision, Shepard fired a burst in the Krogan's leg, aiming to incapacitate him. Even though the shots clearly penetrated the armor and dark orange blood came out, Wrex was still rising. Unnerved, Shepard shifted his aim to the chest area and fired again. This had little effect, save from eliciting a grunt of pain from the Krogan Battlemaster. He was about to fire for a third time when he realized his mistake. A halo of deep blue energy coalesced around Wrex's body; all the time he had been rising, he had been focusing on his biotics and now it was too late. Shepard was swept from his feet by the wave of energy unleashed by Wrex and flew into the ceiling at a high velocity, before falling back to the ground.
In agony, pain lancing throughout his body, Shepard groaned as he rolled over on his back. The back of his mouth tasted of something tangy and metallic, which led him to conclude he had some sort of internal injury. Furthermore, he couldn't feel his lower back. Had he broken something back there, or was it simply overwhelming pain? Blinking behind the visor of his helmet, he struggled to open his eyes only to see the business end of Wrex's shotgun inches away from his face.
"Goodbye Shepard." The Krogan rumbled.
With a detonation from his shotgun, Wrex ended the life of humanity's best with an uncaring shrug.

If this lynch fails and I end up dead, then you'll pretty much know that he's innocent. If you can't lynch him and there's no vigilante then that proves he's not mafia. So... bonus.
And that means you'd pretty much vote however YLC likes and you guys should win.
My ability? A one off to prevent a lynch. Why it ended in anyone's death I am not sure. I was just supposed to be totally uncaring, uninvolved about this whole process to the point I'd be excluded from the first time. I am neutral . My ability was the main reason why I didn't care if anyone tried to lynch me - nothing would happen.
Again, why Shepard died is beyond me, it's not stated in my ability, and I am town now that you have. If you vote to lynch me, my name will turn up this weird golden-yellow, indicating my neutral status.

It was not meant to be defensive or retalitory. my suspicions truly lied on whoever was Alenko, ATPG or not. I will admit that I have not been as active as I should have been but this is not because of malicous intetn, but beacuse of the lack of computer acess for me for 8hrs of the day; my job does not involve computers in the slightest.
at this point Im not sure if trying to lynch YLC again would be worth it. if we end up losing another person to a neutral we do rule him out but it also reduces the number of town. so Im going to vote

Day 3
The soft hum of the Normandy's engines reminded Tali of her home in the Migrant Fleet and that was in part why she spent most of her free time in the engine room. She was very sensitive to the rhythms of the engines and thus, when someone entered the room, she realized it immediately, the persons footsteps breaking the pattern of sounds. She turned to she who it was and was surprised to see it was Garrus, his rifle trained on her.
"What?!.." She exclaimed.
"We have doubts about you Tali." Garrus explained. "I'm simply bringing you to the others."
Tali was not stupid, she suddenly realized Garrus meant to kill her, she didn't know why exactly, but that didn't really matter at the moment. He wanted her to leave engineering because he feared he might hit the engine by accident if a firefight erupted. Garrus was the cautious type after all. Pretending to go along with his demand, Tali exited the engine room at a slow and casual pace. After a few steps in the cargo hold, Tali discreetly activated the Omni tool on her left arm and quickly entered a series of inputs with a three fingered hand. Her slim fingers entered the command in the blink of an eye and suddenly Garrus cursed behind her. His rifle emitted a slight high pitched noise indicating it had overheated, Tali's sabotage had worked.
In one fluid movement she unholstered the Turian pistol on her belt and spun to face the now harmless Garrus. Yet, the Turian, born of a militaristic people, was already moving to cover. She trusted in her weapon's guidance systems and fired a few rounds, but it was not enough to overcome the Mantis VIII medium armor's kinetic shield. Moving to cover herself, Tali fired off a few more rounds before crouching down behind a crate. She had a few moments to assess the situation before Garrus' weapon would be functional again. She could not match him in firepower or endurance, her light armor having only a limited kinetic shield. She would have to be ingenious to defeat him.
Her train of thoughts was interrupted by a hail of bullets striking the crate sheltering her, prompting her into action. In order to lull him into a false state of confidence, she blindly exchanged fire with him, to little effect, after which she initiated her stratagem. Imputing commands in her Omni tool at a blinding pace, she rose from behind her cover, aiming for Garrus' head. As the Turian rose, aiming his rifle directly at Tali, she fired off three rounds. To her shock and dismay, they were harmlessly deflected by his kinetic shield. Yet, that could not be! She had entered an overload command which was supposed to overload his shield. Realization struck her at the same time as Garrus' burst of bullets. He had used his own Omni tool to created a dampening field which protected him for her electronic attacks.
As the micro bullets pierced both her kinetic shield and her armor, she had a short moment of deep shame before the pain overwhelmed her senses. She was dead before her body reached the cool metallic floor of the cargo bay.

YLC claims neutral
Cultured Drizzt fan- claims town
A Very Super Market- claims town (I assume)
Askthepizzaguy- claims town
Well, I am beginning to believe that we might have only one indoctrinated person. The logical move would be to lynch YLC who claims to be not on our team, but... the fact that he would openly claim neutrality when we would just lynch him again... I dunno. That doesn't fit with mafia behavior.
Commentary on the others:
Cultured Drizzt Fan is pulling off a brilliant performance if he is the indoctrinated one. I'm pretty sure that he's innocent because he was one of the mason/lover relationship, and if one is innocent, the other probably is. However that isn't always the case. I am just thinking CDF as being the least suspect.
A Very Super Market: I have the forum at 80 posts per page. He made exactly one comment on the first page. Not very helpful either. On the second page he bandwagonned Tiberius of the Drake, and then he got defensive when someone voted for him. What bothers me is that he's been doing this lurker strategy in every other game so it isn't that unusual for him. Perhaps he knows that if he keeps doing it, people will get tired of lynching him for it and then finding out that they were wrong... interesting. That's very similar to my voting myself as townie strategy so that when Inishmore came around, I voted myself and encouraged everyone to vote me on round one as a mafioso, I didn't get lynched. I didn't get lynched or targeted by the rival mafioso or any of the pro-town roles either. To me, AVSM's behavior seems to be a calculated strategy. But.... after the last couple mafias I'm not sure I can say for certain he is guilty.
Askthepizzaguy: I swear on my reputation as Blitzmaster that I am NOT mafia this game. And, so there are no loopholes, I am not "Mafia" either.
My theory is, there is only one townie left. The others are YLC, and then, two non-townies/indoctrinated.
Going to be interesting to see everyone come out as indoctrinated to survive. :nod:
If Pizzaguy's above statement is truthful, it would mean if he the only townie left, which leaves CDF and AVSM as Mafia and YLC as just YLC.

Who do you recommend, Beskar?
edit: let's put it this way. They cannot be sure that they can safely claim mafia, so... they would probably have to go along with your recommendation.
The safest choice would be YLC. I don't believe he is neutral as in Switzerland, I believe he is neutral as in "I am a one-man army here to kill you all"
Either way, both Mafia and Townie would have to kill him. IF there is one mafia/townie, trying to vote for some one not confirmed might kill your team mate, then arguments might really ensue. Also, I would hate to be in a situation where is a 3 players and YLC's ability is active, thus, killing your team mate and giving 50% chance afterwards to decide the winner.

I am as Neutral as Switzerland, even Switzerland will fight back if attacked.
Mafia do not have to kill me, since I don't count as a winning condition for either side. This also breaks the idea that there are 2 mafioso, since that would mean they would have already claimed victory.
Also, Beskar, your theory doesn't hold water when you take into account that if my ability is still active, then that means lynch me puts it up to a 50/50 chance. In short, the mafia HAS no reason to vote for me -
1) They don't need to kill me as I do not count towards a town victory
2) Voting for me may put their victory at risk, while voting for a townie will assure them victory.

I am neutral, and thus my victory counts on me actually living through this or forcing a draw.
If there is indeed a Mafioso left, then it would be to my benefit to work with at this moment, whereas I am receiving no benefit to work with the town. If there is two town left, that 2 votes on me. If I am indeed alone, then my one vote means nothing.
But if there is a mafioso, then that means we can tie it up, forcing a night phase where he may kill a townie and secure his victory.

If there is indeed a mafioso, and my neutral role is not the only reason the game is still going on, then he too will vote CDF at the last second to win the game.

Okay fine, :daisy: you both. Can't have any form of deception in this game at all. Can't try to set traps, can't do anything that might net an easy town victory.
So screw you both, I'm walking out an airlock and you can all go fly into the sun for all I care. Stupid :daisy: Citadel for :daisy: my species.

wow.... that was a bit extreme, I mean its not like I knew this was all part of some plot......
Oh yeah, by the way, in Pizzaguy's Star Trek game, I was "neutral" too, it was by killing everyone else in the game.
Just saying. You are a threat to both.
I leave for a few hours to see a movie with some friends and everything goes to hell.
YLC, frankly, that was unwarranted. I have not corrected people on most assumptions made, but I feel it is my job as host to make sure the rules are respected and understood by all. Furthermore, you are mad at another player because he saw through your "deception"? If you have any complaints, take them out on me and not your fellow players. Thank you. :bow:
Now as for the rule breaking, I'm going to be lenient. First off, you are indeed WOGed. I'm going to write this off as wanting to suicide, and not rule breaking to gain some sort of advantage. I'm asking you to never do this again though, because I highly disapprove of this attitude. If there is a next time, the consequences will be harsher. I hope you understand.

Well that means we have one, maybe two indoctrinated people remaining. Looks like they are in the winning position. Cultured Drizzt Fan, I think you played an excellent game, and if you are indeed an indoctrinated one, well done. I think AVSM has been far too lurky and cautious. I also don't buy that he's not interested in the game. If that's the case, :shrug:
vote: A Very Super Market.
Only suspicious action was AVSM as he didn't vote at all, then again, he is doing his "I don't care" in every game. However, he seemed to have been eyeing up YLC's offer.
CDF is my true love though, no one lays a finger on her. :mad:

If you had read my post, I didn't vote so you guys wouldn't go bat crazy over my motives. Want to lynch me? Do so.

Vote: abstain
A great way not to arouse suspicion, except in this game where there are... no nightkills.
...... I think its Obvious I can never win at these things, I have created a reputation that will haunt me forever.... :shame::shame::shame:
Early panic?
you know what I just remembered, this game has no night phases, so we really cant just abstain.
so.... I unvote: abstain, Vote: AVSM (this was randomly chosen by the way, nothing personal)
Apologetic.
I swear, there isnt, you may have voted for me before but this is all business! I wasnt even the one who picked you, I had a friend of mine pick a number between one and 6 and you were it. you are just very unlucky :laugh4::laugh4:
and I shall also reveal myself. I am Liara T'Soni a weird blue alien.....
Waits until others reveal to reveal.
Feels the need to explain his random vote after he explained his random vote.
man sucks to be them.....
wow, we have a four way deadlock. I still think YLC's vote for beskar is weird, and believe that he knows roadkill was indoctrinated and trying to use this as an excuse to vote him out.
Roadkill wasn't indoctrinated, as indicated by the blue name. So far, no indoctrinated people have died.
however ATPG has a point, if this game was the same as Mass effect there would be no fun to it, and I have a feeling you are using that as an excuse to get rid of ATPG..... for now my vote stays the same though.
4 way tie, unwilling to commit to an action that makes him look suspect.
My only ability just got himself killed..... Me and Beskar were able to talk over PM because of a love relationship.
YLC is correct in that lovers are sometimes comprised of town and mafia together. Seems that Beskar could choose between two... one that was townie, and one that was indoctrinated.
OK, Baskar was allowed to choose between either Roadkill or me (as we both were the females aboard the ship) whoever he chose was allowed to speak with him via PM, which was normally against the rules.
Of course, we never really got the chance to use it.....
....
I always found the use of ellipses (...) to be suspect, especially when they end several posts. From a psychological standpoint, it's almost like someone is emoting that they feel guilty. However it's roughly 50/50 on that.
wait so how do we kill him then??? dont tell me we are pretty much screwed.... :sweatdrop:
Heh. CDF was the only one to have such a panicky reaction. It seemed fake to me.
I am not sure, you have a good point about Tiberius, but I still think that AVSM has been trying to lurk through the game. I say that AVSM should go, though I am still not sure about YLC's innocence.
Begins agreeing with me quite a bit. Sure.... AVSM is suspicious. And YLC is suspicious. Everyone is suspicious, except for Askthepizzaguy, who has been ever so friendly towards CDF.
you do have a good point. the way he tried to use knowledge of the game to make up a story of your guilt is kind of weird.
Unvote: YLC, Vote: Tiberius of the Drake.
And now Tiberius is also scummy. Mmm mmm mmm. Everyone is suspicious except for CDF, and the person leading the charge against everyone except for CDF.
your right..... but The flax did say that the writeup were not going to say guilt or innocence, I think we have to act under the assumption we have killed at least one of them, if not we are in big trouble...... :sweatdrop:
Now, we have to decide who to vote for, we have to get them this time
I still say YLC's ability is strange..... I dont know, I will hold of on voting until we discuss this.
Agreeing is quite agreeable. Hey, as long as it doesn't get me lynched... right? I also like the use of "we". We have to get them this time or else we are in trouble.
I'm one of you guys, seriously!
I don't know, it could be anyone.... the only person I knew wasn't Mafia was Beskar, and now I am starting to get the feeling I am surrounded.....
The feeling of confusion, helplessness, and panic here seems unwarranted. No one was really going after CDF all game. Why would he be worried?
I believe Pizza's telling the truth, so that leaves AVSM and YLC.
Of course. You have no reason to believe I am telling the truth, but it is convenient, for sure. It gets you through another round alive, and that's all that matters.
like I said, I am having a hard time believing that YLC is a neutral role, so Vote: YLC (I also don't believe his ability was a one time thing, so I believe I am dead.)
Of course you are. :bow:
it would make sense for him to claim a neutral role if he could still use his ability, and he knew that he was safe from a lynch anyway. but, wouldn't the game be pretty much impossible then? uuuuuuggggghhhh, I am so confused....:dizzy2::dizzy2:
Heh heh heh. The game isn't that complicated, though. Feigning confusion is one of the best ways to avoid having to put a solid argument together.
:laugh4:
If it isn't a one shot ability we are screwed no matter what, we have to just assume it is.
And this little mafioso said "we, we, we" all the way home.
Someone is grasping at straws here, and it isn't us. :laugh4:
Nope! Not us! Isn't that right, gang? Let's all team up and not vote for me.
wait a second, I just realized something, AVSM has no way of saving YLC even if he is mafia. if he votes all it does is tie it up which the flax has already said will just result in another round of voting (no night action), the best AVSM can do is deadlock it.
Yeah, so just surrender, see? It is pointless to resist... you do not yet know the power of the Dark Side.

I've been saying everyone is suspicious all game, except for Beskar and Askthepizzaguy. Know thy enemy. I've got nothing, bubkes, nada, zero... but hey, Pizzaguy still isn't voting for me. So let's vote right along with him and skate to victory! Woo hoo!
so true, we should all listen to ATPG all the time, its the only way to have a Utopian society
Pizzaguy is so awesome.
If you end up being Indoctrinated then I am going to slap myself silly.....
ORLY?
And in conclusion, I declare that Cultured Drizzt Fan is indoctrinated, just like me.
Yeah, that's right. I'm indoctrinated. I'm evil scum and I like it. What are you going to do about it, Cultured Drizzt Fan? If my hunch is correct, then you're scum too.

Notice the blue and yellow in the names. YLC was a different alignment from all the others. Everyone else was blue.
No one who has been indoctrinated has died yet. So, I was about to win the game anyway (if I am a lone mafia) and I wanted to give you guys a fighting chance by revealing. You would have lost if I did not. And of course, accusing you and then not voting for you would be a convincing way of goading you to reveal your true alignment, which I admit I wasn't sure about. But you helped me be sure by trying to lynch me, which was the real purpose behind my accusing you. Just ask TheFlax.
I spent a while building a convincing enough case to make you think I was sure you were mafia, so you could think I really believed it, gambling on the idea that if you were really town, you wouldn't think it through and you would vote for me. Voting for me is what proved you really were a good guy. So that means I know for sure that if I have a partner remaining, it is AVSM.
And if I am wrong, I still wanted to do it for the sheer chuckle value. Adds some spice to the game.

If you vote for me, I keep my vote on you.
If you're a townie you have not pulled off an effective deception. If you are mafia, then you made a big error because now I cannot trust you. My vote stays on you.

good enough for me, if at least one of us lives we win. my death is meaningless.
In fact, if there are two mafia about, no matter what happens we win. either one of the two of us could die. I still think this is some PLoy ATPG, but I must admit you probably are my partner. I understand if you cant trust me, but I had to be sure this wasn't some kind of trick.

06-01-2009, 23:08
You have about 5 minutes to explain your reasoning for voting for me. Otherwise AVSM as a townie would vote for you and then make me decide, and at that point I would have no way of knowing. I'd probably still vote for you because you voted for me when you could have just remained silent and pretended not to see my reveal, or you could have revealed, or you could have said "yeah whatever pshhh I don't believe you. You're just having fun with me."
If you are indoctrinated then you caused our near-epic victory to be put into jeopardy. :laugh2:

I thought this was some attempt at getting me outed, I assumed you were trying to test me. I honestly believed that the writing of the names had no bearing on whether you were mafia or not, and it was still quite possible I was the only one left. after reading some of your posts I came to the conclusion you were just the kind of person to try and test me in this kind of way. I did not stay silent because I assumed to you that would be the same as revealing. I am a cautious man, and I wasn't going to jeopardize my victory. (were the we's that obvious?)

Day 4
During the recent discussion, Garrus had mostly kept to himself and as Liara and Kaidan argued back and forth, he came to the conclusion he was doomed. Odds seemed to be stacked against him, especially when both Liara and Kaidan decided he was indoctrinated. It was pointless to resist and so he knelt in the middle of the conference room, waiting for the end to come. Liara watched impassively as Kaidan moved behind Garrus and drew his pistol. Placing the muzzle at the back of the Turian's skull, where his kinetic shield couldn't protect him. There was a single loud detonation as Kaidan pressed on the trigger and then Garrus slumped to the floor, dead.
"No one will stop Saren now." Proclaimed Liara.
Kaidan simply nodded, satisfied that they had accomplished their mission without flaw.

Best townie award: Tiberius of the Drake
He voted for me, twice. His first vote was on me. If his theory was more popular, there would have been a different ending and I wouldn't be here. Well done, Tiberius. I don't count this as a loss for you, because, well.... dang. Good work.
Good townie award: Beskar
Even post-death he tried desperately to confuse me, and I have to admit some of it was giving me doubts. However, I think I played a pretty decent townie and I gave him plenty of brain screws in return. A formidable opponent. His only true error I think was trusting Cultured Drizzt Fan.
Excellent partner award: Cultured Drizzt Fan
In a game such as this where I didn't know who my partner was or even if I still had one, or if I had one to begin with, I knew the rules. They are just like my own mafia games. The idea is to try, try, try to find your own partner. He will be interested in staying alive, and he should be super friendly towards anyone who doesn't accuse him. It happened by accident, simply because after a round or two of me not dying, and being less on people's radar the whole time, I had noted that several people didn't have me as their highest suspect. And I hadn't really voted for them. So I decided to be as friendly as possible and see who appreciated that the most.
By the end of the game, it was blatantly obvious to me that Cultured Drizzt Fan was mafia. I had suspected him in particular for over half the game (TheFlax can confirm) but at the end it was simply ridiculous. He never accused me, he always stuck by me, and the flattery which would ordinarily get you nowhere with me, indicated to me that he wanted an ally. He didn't care if I was town or mafia, he just wanted me to vote with him. I knew if I revealed and I was wrong the game could have been in jeopardy, but I didn't care. I had what seemed like an ironclad case against Cultured Drizzt Fan, and if I had been a townie, I think CDF would have gone down. I would have stated the case and voted for him and tried to get AVSM to vote for him.
However, by keeping my vote on AVSM, and declaring I was indoctrinated, I had hoped he would similarly reveal and confirm my suspicions. But what threw me was CDF's vigilant danger-detector, where he refused to reveal even when I did, assuming it was all a trick to get him to reveal his true leanings. It took some fact checking and negotiation to talk him down. I still wasn't sure, but he did vote for AVSM and so did I. Then I left for the grocery shopping and when I came back I had like 5 minutes to spare. But CDF was true to his word and AVSM hadn't voted, which made everything simple.
In the end, CDF played a brilliant game as mafia, and I deduced that he was mafia. After he claimed he wasn't mafia I had to backpedal from that position a bit, but I still believed he was a mafioso... I just had to leave open the idea that I was wrong.
Good hosting: TheFlax
Well done for a first game. Well done even if it weren't your first game. I loved it!

Great game everyone, it has really helped me get a feel for these games. ATPG was a great partner, and I feel kind of embarrassed I was so suspicious I almost died for it. The Flax, thank you for hosting such a great game.
and beskar sorry my blue alien booty threw you off your game!! :laugh4::laugh4:

I knew it...but no one trusts a Quarian. :smile:
well played by the Mafia. i knew I was pretty much screwed when oppinion idnt change from round 1 to two. great hosting as well.
i am proud to have played in this game :bow:, even if I was martyred....
Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad the game was appreciated. I'll be making a second game soon enough. :wink:
Stay tuned.
Sorry none of my plans worked out, I tried several ploys, but none of them worked. I screwed up in round 2 when I should have tied up the voting, possibly netting me one more round, which would have been all that I needed.
And was it indeed random that Beskar was killed?

It was. I believe one of the Mafia had voted for you at that point and they had an equal chance of dying. Random.org just likes Beskar I guess. :laugh4:
(In the random list thingy, he came up first for Roles, first for Day 1 writeup and first for Day 2 writeup. It was eerie.)
