You are S’Ratha, spirit of domination. You have were imprisoned in this labyrinth by the gods as an abomination, unfit for the free world. You feed upon the spirits of the living, taking control of their bodies for a time until it has served its purpose is done. When you sensed intruders in your prison, you knew the time for escape was at hand. As such, you possessed the body of Faltin, commander of the royal barracks. For now, it will serve as an able locus. Each night, you may extend your spirit to overshadow and control another player. You may have them attempt any one of the following night actions: vigilante kill, protection, watching, commit suicide, or you may attempt to be creative if you run it past me first. Their success rate will depend on the capability of those you possess, but will usually run at 50%, with the exception of suicide, which will almost always be 100% if you succeed in possessing them. While you are doing this, you may still attempt normal night actions with your host, Faltin, but such actions will be doomed to failure as your primary focus will be on the second host. You may also attempt normal night actions while not possessing another and have normal success chances. To achieve victory, you must be the last one standing.
You are partnered with Chaotix
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
In general I thought my nighttime strategy was pretty good. Chaotix actually told me he'd be scanning me N1, so I held off from killing then to throw him off. After that, it was off to the races. In the day, I just generally stumbled through trying to make sense of things, as I would have done if I was a townie. On some occasions I realized what was going on at night probably more than a lot of other people did, such as when I was unable to possess Visorslash the night before he got lynched.
The final night, I possessed Double A and sent the order to "defend himself to the death" since I knew a Lazy vig hit would be coming. I thought this would work out well for me either way, since if Double A managed to beat off Lazy he'd be the easy lynch that day and I'd cruise to victory. If Lazy still managed to blast through Double A (which is what happened) it would be a little harder but I was still confident that I'd be able to get Lazy lynched. Alas, I wasn't able to execute this plan and you guys were able to see through what I was saying (though I still maintain that my cover story was good, it was a general "scummy vibe" that did me in).
At the very least I can say that I was the last scum to survive in the game. Again, well played to the town and thanks to khaan for hosting a really fun one. :bow:

Told ya. I was truthful in all things but one - indoctrination is a two-step process. Also, it's not called Marking, but that would be a rather petty thing to hold against me.
I was correct to kill Buddhafish. I did at least that much for the town. May my miraculous late-game mobilization of the entire town be forever commemorated in song: Israhaman the Savior.

Would you vig, if I asked you to vig?

Would you cry, if you saw me dying?
And would you save my life, tonight?

Now would you die, for the Town that you love?
Perish in my arms, tonight.
I can be your Stalin, townie.
I can kill away the scum.
I will stand by you forever.
You can lynch me another day.
Would you swear, that you'll always obey?
Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Give me all your information, tonight.

Oh, I just wanna save you.
I just wanna direct you, oh yeah.

And I will stand by you, forever
You can lynch me another day.
You can lynch me another day.
And I can be your leader.

Visorslash: My spirit apparently took him as a vessel when he placed the final vote onto me. I did not know of this ability. Good thing he was lynched, though - he had convinced me of his townieness. So I technically got you a second scum with that. More points for the crushing barrage I launched at GH!
Very well played to all. The God Emperor lynch was surprisingly...and the death of Ironside the same night was quite a boon.
GH did the right thing in taking the loss for town. :bow: I got the impression that townies have it hard in his games. Has town ever before won in a Khaan game?

Re: The House of Origin [IN PLAY]
Excellent game and a thrilling finish! :bow:
For future reference, I never pretend to have no idea what's going on. If I claim that, I mean it. Come on, guys, I can come up with better covers than that if I'm a mafia. :p
Now, I might still claim that as a non-townie, it just means I'm telling the truth while still not being townie. Hehehe.

Grr. I was hoping that by being open with the claim they would realise (or think) that it would be suicide to claim that as mafia. Unfortunately no-one thought of that, so I didn't get away with it. Lack of logic saves the town. :laugh4:
Up till that point, I thought we still had a chance. Oh well. Good game Khaan, thanks for hosting.
Quicktopic, not much of note in it, normally I'm much more active.
Things of note: Ironside dying randomly hurt us, and so did GE's lynch (the only time I have EVER seen a person lynched because they voted for a dead guy (CFC is rife will people doing it), and he happens to be my mafia partner.), saying I suspected BUddhafish was necessary, but maybe backfired. Finally, the decision to claim roleblocked was bad, as people don't like logic in mafia, and if you start to take the logical angle, people lynch you.
Superb! Good old fashioned scum detection wins the day; makes me proud to be a townie. Well played to all, particularly GH. I didn't even raise an eyebrow in his direction until the final day.
Thanks for a great game 'khaan. :bow:

Re: The House of Origin [IN PLAY]
Oh man. GH you must have been laughing to yourself every time I popped in just to defend you.
I am somewhat surprised that I thought "possessor role, Spirit Mafia" right after GH's death write-up, with almost zero knowledge of what had actually been going on during the night phases besides reading the write-ups. I am more surprised that I was correct.
Anyway, great game khaan, I enjoyed it even being dead for most of it.

Re: The House of Origin [IN PLAY]
great game and writeups (even though I have no idea what was going on for the most time)
To be honest, I would welcome even semi-active players, as this game needs some cannon fodder too.
Now, I will become pathetic: please, help me. Last time I tried to host large game, I didnt find enough players. I do not want to suffer this fate again

Re: The House of Origin [IN PLAY]
Thanks and praise be to the host for an excellent game with awesome write-ups. I don't know when I'll get to land a role like that again, so I'm glad I go through to the end, as it was by far the most tense and exciting mafia experience I;ve had - without being too stressful :)
Town couldn't have done it without my loyal partner Autolycus, who was far more effective as a scum hunter and didn't berrate me too much for my poor choice of Vig-targets (sorry again to those of you who died unnecessarily) and Glad the Vig order on Choxorn didn't need to go through - If you say you don't know what's going on in the future I shall believe it, but still lynch you for it - unless of course someone more suspicious comes along :D
Monty - You are insane indeed :)
I'm very surprised that mafia didn't target me after I claimed town power role - if anyone can shed some light on that it would be good. Mafia didn't have too long to make too many long-winded plans, but I feel sure the game would have gone on longer if they'd killed me - or if one of the SKs had forced me to suicide or something.
Bad luck scum!
Thanks again khaan - look forward to the next one. :bow:

Because I went along with all the vigs (by the time you claimed it was only me and Buddha, and Buddha was on the vigging block). So I became mister townie then onwards.

It would be a shame if you had to cancel your game, it looks very interesting. Signed up and put an ad on the FP. Perhaps @Askthepizzaguy can find some more people interested in a fantasy RPG-mafia game on the other fora he frequents?

It would be great. I advertize this game at the 3 fora where I play (here, twc, civfanatics), but nowhere else.

Re: The House of Origin [IN PLAY]
I'll give it a shot. How many people are you short?
Somehow I managed to snag 31 players at total war center, of all places. This is a place where 20 players is an achievement.
Also, ham.

Re: The House of Origin [IN PLAY]
1. thank you
2. I need minimum of 24 players to go with game. But, I think that game design is of such character, that the more players the better. I would be really satisfied with 30 participants

I am surprised Choxorn survived....it's a good thing I never mentioned that he was our mysterious 6th vigger, I was planning to include.(Time sort of messed this up) He was even my starting partner, yet I never once did a action with him....I regret that now.:shame:
Glad to see my hunch's were not WAY out in left field this time....makes me nervous for next time though.:sweatdrop:
Good game everyone.:bow:

I was really broken up that you had died. You were the guy I was puppeteering at the start of the game when I took out Ironside and Makrell. I never found a reliable vessel afterwards. :laugh4:

Your kidding?? So I killed Ironside?:laugh4:
I hope my vote provoked that because I totally was thinking I was being framed after he was killed. Does Lazy have some kind of supernatural sense to sense scum? Because he played an almost perfect game...mostly.:anxious:

In a way, it did. One of my initial plans was to simply have you kill the person you voted for every night, since I knew it would drive you crazy. :laugh4: But after that night I decided to scrap that idea, funny though it would have been.

I probably wouldn't have blamed you for killing me, I would have killed me too if I had no better ideas. Just because I'll never lie about something like that doesn't mean you shouldn't kill me anyway if you really think you should kill me.

No particular reason. For N2, Riedquat suggested either you or Visor as the target, either for vig or protection. Both choices were random AFAIK. I preferred vig as I thought it would be more useful to us by showing us in the write-up even if we failed. Plus, I like vig. For the target I chose you over Visor because of Pirate Ship mafia. I figured that Visor had some bad luck early on in that game and I didn't want to double it by killing him so early in this one as well.
