View Full Version : Small mafia game 'Guess what your role is' (aka 'role insanity') [Concluded]
I would like to explain, as this may be due to my poor english:
Quote from opening post:
Mafia will also get a power role; these roles would be chosen from the same list, but with some restrictions (for example, no mafia mayor). One or more mafia member will get a role from special list of mafia roles.
If there would be a cult, there will be three additional possible roles.
It means that mafia member can have almost every town role, but also he can have a special, mafia-only role.
There's this.
Think again:
And there's the fact that even if what you claimed had been true, then you would be a hypocrite. Voting for me because you said I should have been sure you were town with your role, yet you knew (or thought you knew) that a role scanner could not be mafia.
Think about it. We know almost everybody's role for a certainty based on night actions or scans. If we don't, we can narrow it down to a group of them. Visorslash was the only one with a mafia role, and indeed there must still be mafia among us. It stands to reason that mafia must be able to have regular roles.
But you knew that already, before Jarema had to spell it out for you. Scum.
Unvote, Vote: Arjos
I may die, but I'm gonna point my cold, dead fingers at you till you join me.
That, withholding your info on Ishmael the day of his lynch, claiming to have scanned dead people only this round: all days after you claimed to have trusted me...
You have done lots of shady things...
Before this you "cleared" these still alive players: me (scanned as a recruiting mason, now ok what Jarema said, but would a mafia get a role that would die if targeting mafia? imba cover much?), BSmith (by extention due to your scan of me as a mason) and Zack (commuter, but now we know that mafia can have any role, still same thing as BSmith applies).
Robbie the following: edse, memnon and daveshack.
I don't see how both views can work together, so either robbie claimed a better cover and is lying or you are lying...
If you are really a role-scanner, going paranoically or vengefully after me isn't going to help, if that's what your votes have been so far, well sorry if pretty much everybody is perceiving your detrimental behaviour as... well, detrimental XD
more info would be here later
Chaotix lynched. He was mafia, role scanner.
Night begins. it will last about 24 hours
Bah, thank the gods, that Jarema post gave me a scare XD
And damn you Chaotix, I read through you that day, wasted 2 rounds! :P
Well, here's to hoping your little gambit pays off, Arjos.
If Arjos turns out to be Chaotix's partner I will be mightily impressed. I'm taking notes either way.

Who's it gonna be, Arjos? Who is it?
Who's my p-p-p-p-partner??!?!?
Arjos bussing was not convincing enough Vote: Arjos
Vote: BSmith
And also I want to nominate edse as the most clueless townie there ever was, or will be :D
How can that be even thought as bussing? Most votes were on Robbie and I turned over to Chaotix, after reading the QT...

So that you would be totally cleared from all suspicion from now on.
Oh yes and it all started with me revealing to the town JHT's role, clearing Memnon with what I knew, being the first one to read through Chaotix's behaviour in D2...
Yeah, yeah, it was all the masterplan for this moment!
Revealing most roles, making a case on Chaotix, when only few wanted him dead, yes, yes, I must have lynched my partner when there was no need to, you are so right!

When you saw that the lynch was going to be between Chaotix and robbiecon you decided that the best thing would be to buss Chaotix. If you hadn't there would be DaveShack, Memnon and I as confirmed innocents and you and Chaotix on the list of suspects, now you have a much better situation.
You are so much into your fantasy world, you don't even think about the other players XD
Better situation? There should be five townies and in your sick mind, I lynched a partner, when robbie was well in the lead with 3 votes?

If robbiecon were lynched
-DaveShack, Memnon, edse confirmed innocent
-Arjos, Chaotix, BSmith, Zaccino candidates for next lynch
You bussing Chaotix for the lynch
-You "confirmed" innocent
-BSmith and Zaccino main targets for the next lynch (Chaotix cleared them)
The mistake you did was to kill robbiecon in fear of him clearing more people, since now we know robbiecon was telling the truth.
I'm just messing with you, Zaccino is the last mafia. :laugh4:
You have night results for that?
I'm sure it's either him or BSmith, but since Chaotix wanted that Ishmael tie with Zack is possible...
And seriously I thought you went pathologically clueless on me XD
Both BSmith and Zaccino visited robbiecon but BSmith is a cop.
Oracle's scan eh?
Sorry BSmith, but I thought I was cursed with recruiting mafia in my QT lol
Unvote; Vote: Zaccino
Yeah, so it's Zack then? I sent Bsmith's info to you, just to make sure of that edse.
Vote: Zaccino
Well celebration time at the local pub!
Have a round on me, a toast to that Skitzo of JHT metagaming Visor and Robbie taking one for the team :D
This game was impossible for the mafia. Everyone and their goddamn mother was a cop or some sort of other power role. Role madness sucks.
Well BSmith was a grave digger and became cop at random out of 3 possible roles...
Skitzo was just extremely lucky :D
Sorta like in the right place, at the right time lol
And the skitzo happened to scan Visorslash, and the monkey kept clearing innocent names while we were busy killing jailkeepers and doctors. And who could forget the tracker watching me kill robbiecon? Or how I had an utterly useless ability?
The odds were heavily stacked against our favor. This game proves why I hate guilty/innocent cops so much. They suck all the fun out.
This game had multiple doctors, multiple roleblockers, multiple cops, etc. against what were essentially three basic mafia. How the hell were we supposed to win?
Right forgot the monkey clearing a lot XD
As for the tracker, with so few suspects left it was bound to happen...
Anyway yes I don't like scanning abilities much, I got Chaotix, albeit in two rounds, old school :D
So you were really a commuter? lol you guys had such awful roles for mafia, would've been better with only that possible mafia roles ones...
Bahahaha I totally thought edse was being serious for a minute there and I was going to pee my pants laughing.
Anyway, well-played. I applaud you for catching me in my web of lies.
The scan on Zaccino, though, that's just brutal. We had a chance, man! A real chance. We were gonna lose anyway, but I'd prefer we go out with a bang. Instead, you guys played it smart and tracked the obvious kill target. No suspense at all there...
Oh, and btw BSmith is the guilty one. Trust me. :wink:
vote: Zaccino. Not that I need to at this point. I am indeed a cop, but apparently not a good one. Robbiecon was guilty according to my scan.
Stupid phone
vote: zaccino

Shall we rephrase it as "preferential pickings" then? XD
If it helps Zaccino, I was certain you were a townie.

If it helps Zaccino, at least you didn't throw a Zacktrum when you got wagoned, and lame your way to victory.
ok
I will end this round earlier, it will not change anything.
Zack was mafia. He was a commuter!

It was an experimental game. It does not work exactly as predicted, partially due to Visor's bad luck at the night1.
Also, as an aftertought, night 0 was not needed - it mostly gave town more time to play with roles
I think the mafiosi getting random town roles, were put in a tough place, ok it makes for a great cover, but they lose all their "attack" power so to speak...

People whining about being scanned night one is getting so tiresome. I DO NOT METAGAME. I RANDOMLY SELECT MY TARGETS. MOANING ZACK HAS SEEN THIS AS HOST OFTEN ENOUGH TO KNOW IT'S TRUE. BEING SCANNED NIGHT ONE IS NOT ALWAYS METAGAMING.
Ahem. Yay, town win. Priority number 7 comes true! :bounce:
Thanks for the game Jarrrrrrema! Don't worry, balance is always a nuisance. I've never gotten it right...

He is right about Visor being unlucky... there was 50% chance that you will protect or roleblock him (no real consequenced for him)

Yep, it was unlucky, but there was some moaning about the choice of target. I have spoken out against metagaming many times in the past, and it annoys me to be accused of it.
As for the day 2 wagon started on Zack, from what I remember you claimed to be one of two roles. I checked them and there seemed to be a discrepancy, one of them could only be used on alternate nights or something, why others piled on after me, I have no idea. As alluded to when I said I'd tell you the reason when the bandwagoners told me.

Understandable.
And, tbh, this time Zack do not have reason to complain about it, I suppose (he was chosen as a target once at night 0, once at night 1, zero times at night 2)
Twice on Night One. And I would appreciate if both of you would stop slandering my good name. I never said anything about metagaming.
johnhughthom
07-17-2012, 19:51
I'll stop slandering you if you stop pretending you have a good name. I don't believe I did slander you though, did I mention your name? I'm just saying you as part of the mafia team would know I don't metagame. Ya big whinger.
edit: Zaccino is a terrible name.
Hurray it's a first for me! Both surviving to the end, and actually winning! Good game, bad luck for the mafia though. XD

I will stop. But, one of two at night one was random target (you were not chosen, just randomly selected)

Yeah, we had a tough break. Go check out the death note mafia on twc though, similar story, yet mafia won.

Oh no way somebody did a Death Note mafia?
I was just thinking about how that would work as a concept a few days ago. It would be hella fun to host.
Anyway, good game everyone. Especially Monty and Arjos. Arjos was good with the logic games, but Monty's scumdar is so accurate it's scary.

Didn't Beskie's anime game a few years ago include elements from Death Note? I may be wrong as I know nothing about the genre, though some of the stuff in Jezebel's game seemed familiar.

I liked the concept, though only knowing my actions were successful was very unusual.

It was because it will be too easy to guess what your role is if it was not that way.
Also, I believe you had the weakest role in this game

Good game Jarema...perhaps N0 was redundant and might have made the game a bit easier for the mafia.
though i missed N1 action, I guessed i was some kind of protection role and used it on JHT on N2

Well, after your defence of my on D2, I thought it was game over for you on D3.

Easier for the town you mean.
For the Death Note game:
Role List:
-AA - Roleblocker
-Visor - Mafia Goon (Extra life)
-Alsark - Mafia Killer
-Xeno - SK (extra life, three kills)
-Agga - Power Role Protector
-Spike - Mafia Roleblocker
-Blackwolf - Doctor
-CJ - Investigation (Sane)
-Classical - Commuter, three time (no anti town targetable
-Remus - Double Vote
-edse - Mason Confirm/Investigation
-Kaiser - One time unblockable vig
-Stormer - Bodyguard
-cpdwane - Mason Confirm/Investigation
-Jarema - One time anti town power roleblock (ALL)
I'm rather proud of my performance that game. Some of the roles make more sense if you read the thread. QT: http://www.quicktopic.com/47/H/ML85t3pM2ppur
Role madness games can be fun, but both this, and Death Note, were both imbalanced towards town.
However, stellar play lead us to victory, even when our main killed was lynched D3, after a day extension (grumble), and then our partner (roleblocker) claimed he could scan through cover roles, and got himself lynched D5 or something, and then I won it for us in a 4 way Lylo with the SK having no kills and no extra life left, and we lynched the doctor, and the investigator/mason still alive. Tense game, but I enjoyed it.
EDIT: You will also find JHT revealing me, Rebel Jeb and himself as mafia partners at the end of the thread, in another game that was running at the same time. And he also announced our kill before it happened. And yet town lynched the reviver instead. :cool:

Yes, you're correct. The Death Note character actually won.
But his main concept was a similar series; I believe it was called Eden of the East.
In regards to Death Note: I had a SK in my recent small game who could choose when his target would die (aka Night 2, or whenever). (Which I stole off another game).

Hey, wait a second Chaotix, that's the same kind of nonsense you pulled in the Sacrifice game then! You got off light this time, as far as I'm concerned.
Nice start to the final day, I couldn't tell whether to feel horrified or smug.

I have this really, really bad habit of using risky strategies that place me right under the town's nose.
If it was just me I would be ok with it, but unfortunately if it fails I drag my scum partners down with it, and that's not cool.
I think I'm going to start toning it down when I have partners in the future. In games where someone else took the lead, we tended to do better.
As a solo scum, though... I will direct you to of the Star Wars: Fall of the Order (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?131243-Star-Wars-Fall-of-the-Order-Concluded) for the epitome of "under the town's nose". :evil:
