The Desperate Plea and the Decent Proposal
Yes, I killed Abstain, and yes, I am the French murderer. Abstain's day-kill was 1 of 3 single-use abilities I possess, in addition to the night kills. My win condition is to achieve a victory for any faction other than town, which we would presumably share, or be the last man standing.

If my assumptions about mafia numbers are correct, then there should be at least 3 Italian mafia left and 1 Russian, possibly more if they've recruited. Maybe another neutral. I propose that the remaining non-town aligned players band together and ensure our own survival. With judicious night kills and unified voting, we can take down the town in a couple turns, and then just let it come down to a good old-fashioned gang war! I realize that prospect might sound more appealing to the Italians than to the Russian(s), but how does it compare to the current situation? If Abstain's claims were true, the town have a detective and a network. Would you rather contend with that?

I realize it is late in this round to be proposing a new bandwagon, especially since it's highly possible that we might only be able to achieve a tie. But you'll have tonight to think about it, too. I'll wait til then to make my suggestion about how we can coordinate this in a way that allows both families to remain unknown to each other until the town is eliminated. So in the meantime, just think my suggestion and decide if it would benefit you.

Oh, I see. He can survive a lynch.

How do you conclude that? Why would he even reveal if he could survive a lynch?


Townies, join me in attacking him tonight.

Um, I can only assist someone else. Like me, no townie should have been able to accumulate enough xp to get a promotion yet. Yet you claim the ability to kill. The rules give the XP cost of a Killer promotion as follows:


Roleblocker: 8xp
Killer: 8xp (requires roleblocker ability)

There is no way in hell you could possibly have gotten 16xp as a townie. This is voting Day 5, so you'd have 5xp from voting after today, not enough for ANY promotion, let alone two. Yet you claim to be able to kill. If you started as a roleblocker it's entirely possible that you could have gotten enough xp to move to killer, but it's equally as likely that you just started as a killer. As such, you've basically just publicly IDed yourself as either a roleblocker or a killer. Since you will clearly claim roleblocker regardless of whether it's true or not, now would be a good time to start explaining why we should believe you.

You have severely miscalculated. The scum are outnumbered. Moreover, if there were even one more scumbag than townies, not one of the former would be the first to reveal himself.

Edit: Oh, I see. He can survive a lynch. Townies, join me in attacking him tonight.

If you aren't speaking nonsense, I would like to volunteer. All these nights of not doing squat make me feel like hurting things.

Nah, I just figured that, given this:


There will be a chance of failure for every night action. This can be counteracted by other players sending in orders to help with a specific night action. However if this action fails there is a chance that assisting players may die. If a mafia player assists a town night action (or vice versa) the chance of success will decrease rather than increase. I will not reveal the standard success percentages or the quantitative effect bringing help will have, you’ll have to figure this out for yourselves. For this to occur both the initiator and any players joining must PM me the action and the target AND mention each other in the PM.
9. Experience will be gained for each vote and each successful night action (whether instigated or participated in), for 1xp and 2xp respectively. This experience can be exchanged for new night abilities (see below). It is possible to have more than one night ability but only one can be used at a time. Certain roles will have specific abilities and will not be able to learn new ones. Players assuming these roles during the game will lose any previously held abilities. Players in one of the crime families will require the blessing of their Don to gain new abilities.

and the Capo inspiration, townies should be able to team up to perform actions. :shrug:

I'm vanilla town, and having not networked my only actions thus far have been day actions (i.e. votes).


Like me, no townie should have been able to accumulate enough xp to get a promotion yet.

Then no townie would ever be able to get more than one ability, as right here after this lynch we are entering the end-game. What would the point even be, then, other than to give scum even more options? And furthermore, just 2 XP per action in that case would automatically give scum a half-game advantage when it comes to buying abilities. And don't forget that each scumbag comes with an ability anyway (viz. Killer, Redirector, Don). Scum recruiting ability on top of town only being able to buy abilities after D6... Come on now. Be sensible.


How do you conclude that? Why would he even reveal if he could survive a lynch?

Because it's implied. He's clearly going to be lynched today, and yet he says:


But you'll have tonight to think about it, too. I'll wait til then to make my suggestion about how we can coordinate this in a way that allows both families to remain unknown to each other until the town is eliminated.

If he is alive tonight to make suggestions and there was no tie in this phase because the scum would not revealed themselves (yet), then...

And why wouldn't he reveal? Obviously, after surviving today he would be relynched the next day. This pan-scum alliance appeal is his best shot.

You gotta think things through. And if you are a townie and supposedly have nothing to do tonight, then join me and Pizza. Worst case, nothing happens. Best case, B-Wing dies and we get XP. Don't forget that I called the mayor's innocence correctly while you disputed it.

If that's true, then I think many of us have been wasting our evenings doing nothing when we should have been gaining xp doing something in groups.
Ferret can you confirm if this is true? Can townies join together for a night action when none of them has the stated ability to do that action?

It did not occur to me that we could do actions in groups without that being listed in the role PM. If that's true, it would indeed explain this XP imbalance situation.

Start of Night 5

Once more the committee voted in almost complete unison. They were convinced B-Wing was a criminal, even before he had the audacity to kill the Mayor in their presence. With scowls on their faces they backed him into a corner handcuffs at the ready. He wasn't finished yet though and, whilst revealing a knife, darted towards a gap that had appeared in the growing throng of committee members. The throat of FoxLeLay was slashed on his way through and the spurting blood was enough of a distraction for B-Wing to escape. He would live another night at least.


Night 5 will end at 22:00 GMT on the 8th (~22 hours from the time of this post). Seeing as the last phase ran over a few hours I'm happy to lengthen this one if requested or if a significant number of orders are missing.

Tally:

No, they can't.

Well, then town isn't doing well. Bad moment for a WOG, too.

If there are 2 kills, and B-Wing dies tomorrow, then 6 players going into night, of whom 3-5 are scum? Oh dear, looks like B-Wing was right. And this way, no more scum will be NKed. End-game scum network. It's too strong.

Ouch, there'd better be a good explanation for 9 scum of 23, with recruiting powers, plus a neutral and an SK, against whom the town can perform no night-actions until LYLO or later...

It should be difficult, not guaranteed, for scum to win a game in which more scum than townies have died (as was the case before the mayor was murdered).

White_eyes:D
07-08-2013, 04:23
I would say that the French role seems super OPed overall....he can night-kill, survive a lynch, day-kill someone(This surprised me...I would have figured it would be only given to someone who can't kill...like the mayor or something for a one-shot vig) and some other ability that does :daisy: knows what.

Combine him with three family's, likely starting at nine players that can recruit most likely and we have ourselves a townie massacre.:sweatdrop:

B-Wing
07-08-2013, 04:38
Alright, so if the remaining mafia wish to carry out Operation Stick-it-to-the-Man, this is the only way I can see for it to work:
(1) One person from each family PM me with your family's members tonight (or during the coming Day phase). I know that sounds risky, but I have no incentive to share your roster with any other players; it is one thing which makes me more valuable alive.
(2) Once I receive both lists, all I have to do is pick a player not in the mafia to vote for the next day, and the rest of you just follow my lead. If I don't get both lists, then I'll vote "abstain" tomorrow, and everyone will know there's no deal.
(3) The next Night phase (and this current one if I receive both lists in time) I'll privately suggest to each family representative a player to kill, who will of course be town. Now I can't realistically enforce that you follow my suggestion, and you have the option to choose another target, but I'll most likely consider it a deal-breaker if that happens.
(4) Rinse, repeat, until all townies are removed.

I assume one concern you mafioso share is, can I be trusted? You know I'm not a townie or mafioso because of the two one-use abilities I've demonstrated (in addition to the French night kills, but I can't actually prove those were my doing). If you can come up with a plausible scenario in which I would be doing this for any reason other than that which I previously stated, feel free to point it out.

As I see it, the whole plan really hinges on whether the Russians agree. They are in the least favorable position if they buy in. Yet they may still find it preferable to the alternative. Whatever happens, I pledge to stay out of the ensuing mafia war, as it doesn't really benefit me to take sides.

There is one other possibility that should be addressed. Based on what I gather from the write-ups, the Italian mafia could have as many as 4 living members if they've successfully recruited. Not sure how recruiting works, but I assume each family can do it. Since there's only 9 total players alive, we could create a majority without the Russians' cooperation. Even if that does turn out to be the case, the Russians could still benefit from the agreement by virtue of being spared for a couple rounds.

Well, I can't think of anything else to add at the moment. Do you wanna do this? For the win? For the lulz? For all the scum who fought and failed before us? If you do, contact me. Otherwise, I'm a dead man tomorrow. Alive, I can be a useful ally. Dead, I'm just a wasted opportunity. :drama1:

There's what, still one scum faction untouched, probably with recruits? They've got this game in the bag. They're gonna kill a couple townies tonight and watch B-Wing get lynched tomorrow. No reason to cooperate with the only other player in this game that poses a threat.

Start of Day 6

Montmorency was holed up at home with his escape routes ready and make shift weapons by his bed. Sure enough it wasn't long before he heard suspicious noises at his front window. After creeping round and making certain that there was an intruder he rapidly left via one his escape routes and fled into the night.

Rickinator9 was on his way to meet up with his new friends when his assailant struck. His attacker was evidently not hugely experienced with the AK-47 that he was wielding but given the amount of shots that were fired some were bound to find their mark. Rickinator ended up in a puddle of his own blood at the side of the road. As he bled out the attacker came over to leave the 4 of spades on his body.

Later, as the sun was rising, Askthepizzaguy could be found breaking into what (when viewed from the inside) was clearly a Russian's house. He pulled out a large machete and proceeded to run around the house, screaming and swinging the blade in circles. It appears he was attempting to kill Darth Feather's ghost. El Barto's ghost had been watching him carefully and went into full haunt mode to scare ATPG out of the house. (Disclaimer: This paragraph might not actually be part of the write up.)


Day 6 will end at 22:00 GMT on the 9th (~24 hours from the time of this post).

I'm being hilarious, but my comedy is too high-brow for you. You see, I quoted the ORIGINAL meatballing statement as my reason for voting for B-Wing. That means I was meatballing! Meatballing is voting without a reason! Yet I was voting for someone who has publicly admitted to being a killer and been seen in the write-up killing our mayor! He's so guilty that no one even needs to give a reason to vote for him. Yet not only did I give a reason, my reason for voting for him was the very thing that means I was voting without a reason. IT'S FUNNY.

Sure enough the vote was unanimous and the man's rampage was finally at an end. With just seven committee members left, the ordeal surely wouldn't last much longer.


Night 6 will end at 22:00 GMT on the 12th (~72 hours from the time of this post). Pretty inconvenient time for such a long phase but I have my graduation ceremony this week and won't have internet access for a few days. Sorry for any inconvenience.

If I wasn't a townie, you would have been dead when my first three attempts to lynch you failed, you silly banana kumquat. You're just leaving me alive to taunt me at this point.

I must admit I find it both amusing and frustrating.

End of Day 7

There was one clear group huddled together on the seventh day. Askthepizzaguy kept looking at TinCow, clearly believing that he was following the cunning Italian's lead. In fact the Italian Don was his brother, Ishmael, who had quietly orchestrated his family's take over of the city.
White_eyes:D had a vacant look on his face and simply handed in a piece of paper to indicate that he would vote for himself, with no words necessary. The three Italians added their names to the list and White_eyes:D was swiftly marched off to the police cells.

With the final opposing mafia member out of their way the Italians all turned on Montmorency. TinCow had a wicked grin on his face, following multiple failed attempts on the seemingly blessed Montmorency, he would finally claim his kill. Monty was soon overpowered by sheer numbers and after a brief torture period, where Monty was force fed mouldy pizza, Ishmael finally gave the word for TinCow to end his suffering by drowning him with milk.

Victorious the three men returned to their headquarters and discussed how best to exploit profits in the city they now controlled.


ITALIAN MAFIA VICTORY!

A very fun game, thanks Ferret!

We had a fair amount of luck by getting 2 legit recruits, and having our recruited mole (edse) get killed off by another faction before that became a problem. At the same time, Monty survived 3 hits by me from sheer luck. That was slightly frustrating. Kind of funny that he was just a townie and we could have solved our problem by recruiting him as well.

I thumbed my nose at same town power role and really wanted to lynch Gaius, but knew I couldn't do that while I was still a townie.

I'm just saying, Tincow would do the scummiest thing imaginable as a townie, because that's just how he rolls. He just happened to be mafia this time.

I do appreciate your persistance. If the rest of the town had been a little bit more effective, I would have tried harder to help you guys. But I smelled the way the winds were blowin' and I knew town was toast. I basically begged Tincow's team to recruit me, and I did it publicly too.

For the record, my attempted lynch of him had absolutely nothing to do with being mafia, that was just me being me. First, I am truly irritated by the name. Second, I honestly did not believe he was confirmed innocent as I thought this game was like Capo and, as I said, I saw nothing in the rules that seemed to indicate otherwise. I guarantee you that if I had actually believed he was confirmed innocent, I would not have actually tried to get him lynched, let alone as scum.

Ferret, how was the town supposed to win?

Out of 23 players, there were 11 scumbags.

The town power roles consisted of 2 doctors and a detective.

I assume almost all the town bar at least 4 were convertible (and most were converted).

I was waiting for this question.

There were a few things things I did to try and give the town a chance. Yes it would always have been hard with so many mafia players, but bear in mind that they were all primarily trying to kill each other.

Every player that was recruited was given three options. They could ignore the invitation, join the mafia family as a mafia player or join the mafia family as a townie infiltrator (as edse did). Had edse been a bit more lucky he could have wiped out the Italians with a reveal.

The main power the town had though was your role, the guaranteed innocent mayor. I was expecting all the normal townies to contact the mayor and for the mayor to start inviting people to the quicktopic and getting townies to assist one of the doctors to start picking up XP. You'd have known if anyone wasn't being honest because they wouldn't have shown up for the night action (players who sent in joint night actions will know that the number and identity of people helping them was mentioned in the result PMs). In addition to this I was expecting you to have the detective feeding you information, with you soon learning to trust him when mafia players were lynched. Of course he was unable to that on account of the accursed day 1 lynch.

Unfortunately though the town didn't get this. The fact that one of the doctor's didn't send in a single night order certainly didn't help either. So all that was left was poor SalmonSoil keeping the mayor alive for little town gain.

Were the game to be played again and the four town power roles to survive the early rounds and all be active players, it could be a very different story.

Wait a second...did the french role only have a first-time defense against a night-kill or a lynch?:book:


3. You will survive the first time you would normally be killed (be it at night or by lynch)

Wouldn't that mean he should have died by lynch, since that would have been his second time dieing?:confused:

That "last day voting for myself thing" is likely going to be something I won't forget anytime soon...but I had a good laugh when I received it.:laugh4:

Guess that is all that counts really...good game to the Italians.:bow:

The attack on him the night previously simply failed according to the percentages above. Had that been a success then yes, he would have been lynched a day earlier.

That was a great game. Thanks very much and well played the Italians. I thought you were French for a bit, but it's really all the same to a poor dead Russian anyway. TinCow, I had you pegged as Don, but that would have been a ballsy play for any don ;) GG

I had him pegged as the Don, too. And I was on the inside, so I knew for sure, he was definitely the Don, all the way up until the moment the game host told everyone he was not the Don.

Acting like a total baboon in the quicktopic, I've done stuff like that before, but Ishmael sounded exactly like Tincow always does. I didn't know who our killer was, but I figured our Don would steer me the right way if I trusted him.

Turns out, the baboon was Tincow, and I was a monkey's uncle.

I haven't had time for the QTs yet, but will certainly look forward to the deep insight :)

Not much point in an anonymous QT if everyone can ID you based on the way you write.

A shame I was away for the ending. It's been a while since I've been to the last round.

Surviving 3 kill attempts as vanilla, though: that's priceless.
