Whispers in the Night - Mafia Game [Concluded]

[Quintus.JC]

I'm not even sure QJC KNOWS he was part of the winning team. That's what's so frustrating and brilliant at the same time.

Haha, I know.

Until the last minute I still thought I was pro-town and tried hard to get rid of the mafias and made sure for a townie win. And by the way I wasn't blocked... I made sure of that.

Sigurd owns!!!

[Reenk Roink]

YLC what would have happened had I killed QJC?

[seireikhaan]

Also, great game, YLC. I'm afraid I'm still pretty confuzzled as to what exactly has been going on for a while, however...

Eagerly awaiting the commentary.

[shlin28]

If anyone is interested... my PMs...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

ROLE PM
You are John Shlin, a 28 year old cop down on his luck. You've got a good heart, and your always ready to lend a hand as selflessly as you can, but your job is absolutely distasteful. You constantly see the corruption that has embedded itself within your precinct, and it sickness you and makes you burn with fury.
Role
You received the mysterious note just like all the guests, and with the sudden strange goings on, you've taken it upon yourself to figure out this whole mess and put those behind it in cuffs.

You are the Detective (Pro-Town). Once per night, you may pick one player to investigate. You will receive a summary of their guilt (or non-guilt) and if they took an action that night, but will not be aware of the nature of the action.

N1
You wait until it's completely dark out before sneaking across the hall to ATPG's room, quickly picking the lock and darting inside. You quietly go through his things - robes, a cross, a bible, and whats this? A playboy magazine? Well, seems you've found a preacher, and he's not the perfect saint you'd expect either.

You finish searching through everything else and come to the conclusion this preacher isn't the root of it - even if he's a perv. You quietly lock the door from the inside as you sneak out, back to your own room.

N2
You wait until it's completely dark out before sneaking across the hall to Reenk Roinks's room, quickly picking the lock and darting inside. You quietly go through his things - books on the paranormal, amulets and sigils, some weird electronic equipment...and whats this? A pair of pink panties? Well, seems you've found a wierdo, and he seems to be into drag as well.

You finish searching through everything else and come to the conclusion this wierdo isn't the root of it - even if he's a perv. You quietly lock the door from the inside as you sneak out, back to your own room.

N3
You wait until it's completely dark out before sneaking across the hall to Quintus's room, quickly picking the lock and darting inside. You quietly go through his things - some books on the supernatural, a PSP, Mp3 player, and a journal...and it's filled with some strange writing, and absurd rants. His handwriting seems to waver too, from elegant to very poor...seems to almost be a weird work of fiction.

You finish searching through everything else and come to the conclusion this kid isn't the root of it - even if he's a bit off his rocker. You quietly lock the door from the inside as you sneak out, back to your own room.

N4
You wait until it's completely dark out before sneaking across the hall to ATPG's room, quickly picking the lock and darting inside. You quietly go through his things - robes, a cross, a bible, and whats this? A playboy magazine? Well, seems you've found a preacher, and he's not the perfect saint you'd expect either.

You finish searching through everything else and come to the conclusion this preacher isn't the root of it - even if he's a perv. You quietly lock the door from the inside as you sneak out, back to your own room. And stop.

Wait, haven't you investigated this guy before?

N5
You wait until it's completely dark out before sneaking across the hall to Andre's room, quickly picking the lock and darting inside. You quietly go through his things - robes, a cross, a bible, and whats this? A playboy magazine? Well, seems you've found a preacher, and he's not the perfect saint you'd expect either.

You finish searching through everything else and come to the conclusion this preacher isn't the root of it - even if he's a perv. You quietly lock the door from the inside as you sneak out, back to your own room. And stop.

Wait, haven't you investigated this guy before? Hang, you have! Hm, must be his playboy collection you keep coming back for...

N6
You wait until it's completely dark out before sneaking across the hall to Sigurd's room, quickly picking the lock and darting inside. You quietly go through her things - school books, a laptop and phone, a handful of money, and whats this? A Catholic school girls outfit? Well, seems you've found a student, and she's either a saint or is into some kinky stuff.

You finish searching through everything else and come to the conclusion this girl isn't the root of it - and stop drooling! You quietly lock the door from the inside as you sneak out, back to your own room.

Reading this leads to more questions... how can Andres be an "angel" when he reads Playboy magazines?

[ULC]

YLC what would have happened had I killed QJC?

You would have won the game, since Sigurd would have failed his victory conditions.

Also, he was open for a hit that night - shlin sent in a order countermanding QJC's and thus negating QJC attempt at protection.

Again, VERY winnable for you - but of course, the Daemon's also go after the Sexy Priests

Er... I thought the consensous was to block QJC?

Wait so all you ghosts blocked QJC? Nevermind then, I couldn't kill him then.

[ULC]

Wait so all you ghosts blocked QJC? Nevermind then, I couldn't kill him then.

No, a block would not have negated a kill - and only shlin sent in his order, no one else did, so for that night, the Ghosts did nothing.

[shlin28]

So I was the only one who sent in the "Block" QJC order?

[Quintus.JC]

You would have won the game, since Sigurd would have failed his victory conditions.

Also, he was open for a hit that night - shlin sent in a order countermanding QJC's and thus negating QJC attempt at protection.

Close shave...

[ULC]

To clarify for the confused - Reenk's role was to convert Dead townies into mafia. His ability had a 75% chance of success on a basic townie. He never once killed anyone, so he would have never appeared guilty. Reenk also knew, by way of the Ghost Council, when he was going to be roleblocked - thus, he simply did not send in a night order when you guys roleblocked him. When you investigated him, his "calm meditation" was him astrally projecting himself into the mind of White Eyes and converting him - since it wasn't a kill, he did not appear guilty.

Damn, Reenk's had a great game. I never would of even suspected him if it weren't for his votes in the last round.

Can I see Sigurd's PM? I thought we were the good guys/gal.

[Reenk Roink]

QJC I knew you were an unwitting bad guy even though you didn't.

I had suspicions of Sigurd from the start (I even told glyphz and White eyes not to speak with him).

Then I insisted he showed me his PM.

Here is when I realized what a bad situation I was in:

I am not sure I am allowed to. It states that I can't show my PM to even Quintus and he couldn't show his to me.

That is why I thought that one of us would turn to the dark side down the road, and that a part of our PM would help the other side if it was shown.

But I can't see that my pm does have anything that would be too helpful:

You, good madam, have become a victim of the House (and me! *giggles*), and are now bound to it's evil as a Ghost, forever damned to never pass on. However, that doesn't mean you yourself are evil. Here is your chance to help the town, one last time.

You are a Ghost (Pro-Town). As a Ghost, your powers have increased tenfold, but you need more of your own kind to begin using these abilities to effectiveness. Since there are more three of you however, you may begin using your abilities now.

Investigation - Once every other night, allows you to investigate a player, and see where they go during the night. Requires 2/3rds majority.
Roleblock - Once every other night, allows you to block the night action of a player. Requires 2/3rds majority.
Protect - Once every other night, requires unanimous vote from all "Ghosts". Allows you to protect living player.

All abilities must be put too a vote, and all who voted for that ability are considered having used that ability. Your abilities override other players abilities, and you cannot be roleblocked.

You may not communicate with any of the living players except Quintus.JC, the Little Boy (Pro-Town). You may not communicate with other people outside of the game about your abilities either, or your status as Ghost.

Remember, you may not quote your role or quote any PM's I send you.

Good Luck, all over again

Your buddies are Chaotix, taka, White Eyes and Beefy for now

Here is the Ghost Council Quicktopic

Password is "ghost"

But that's your cover! You work for me now, missy, and you better do what the House and I say!

You are now a Avatar of Malice (Serial Killer) - you are our pawn now, and your all the Houses pent up anger at being invaded by the living and the damned! You may select either one Ghost or one living player to kill - your ability cannot be countered and has a 75% chance of success.

Because of your state as half living, half dead, you count as a living and dead player for abilities and number counts, as well as the lynch. However, you can't vote.

Because of your connection to your brother, you mustn't kill him.

Good Luck, my little pawn of death *giggles maddeningly*

And then you have this tidbit:

*Ahem* Last night you were converted to "Mafia". Your abilities do not change, nor does your status as ghost, only your alignment. But since your OUR little pawn now, this is yet more cover for you! Hip hip hurray for us! *laughs hysterically*

and

Right... so does this little lair of Mafiosi have a secret hideaway? A quicktopic of some sorts?

Sigrid the ghost.

Nope, not as far as I know - your mafia friends are White Eyes, Reenk Roink, and Glyphz. Remember, no being naughty and spoiling the fun (OOC: No reveals of any sort to the town, ghost or living ). *giggles*

Note that this might spoil the fun... I don't get the "I am a pawn" part, nor that being mafia is yet another cover for me. This is something that were not mentioned when I helped him design this game.

Sigurd

Note the cover as the Mafia thing? I knew he was not really our family then.

[ULC]

To clarify, QJC was always Pro-town, however, the Avatar of Malice (as a neutral role) would have required QJC to live anyway. This was an attempt at balancing the AoM, since it was disguised as both protown and mafia, allowing it to easy fool both parties and use all that information to it's own benefit.

[Reenk Roink]

My role:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You are Yeqon, a Daemon of great power. It was you who organized for the letters to be sent out and to draw those unwitting fools to this ancient house, and to corrupt their very souls to your twisted purpose - and one especially. But first, you must kill them to twist them properly...

Your partner in this venture is Gader'el. Although he is more overt then you, he will serve his purpose to eliminate the foolish mortals so you can then complete your part.

You are a Yeqon (mafia). Once per night, you may select a dead "Ghost" townie and try to convert them to your side as mafia. Your ability does have a chance of failure, and you may only try twice to convert a single "Ghost". Once you have converted a Ghost, I will send you more information.

If at anytime Gader'el dies, you also gain the ability to perform his night kill ability, but without his additional enhancements.

You've managed to "acquire" a host for use as cover - this is your host PM.

You are Rene Roni, a 25 year old psychic in training. You discovered your abilities while you were young, and with some education from a few old masters, you have learned to control and channel your power. However, most people just think your a crack, but your a diehard believer in what you can do and have set out to prove that the paranormal exists...

You received the mysterious note just like all the guests, and you see an opportunity to set up your very own paranormal labs. Excitement grows within you at the sheer possibilities...

You are the Psychic (Pro-Town). You can hear and speak to the dead players. You can send and receive PM's from dead players and "Ghosts".

Good Luck, and PM me for any questions you may have

My actions:

Night 1: Nothing no dead people.
Night 2: Convert Beefy - failed because Sigurd had sex with me.
Night 3: Convert White eyes - succeeded while the ghosts were watching me.
Night 4: Convert Ares - failed - Andres exorcised him immediately
Night 5: I believe this was Askthepizzaguy or Chaotix (I really wanted you on for all your support ) - failed because maybe a general fail of my ability as well OR maybe because Andres came in and started preaching
Night 6: Nothing - was sick didn't send in PM - but was blocked anyway
Night 7: Convert Sigurd - success, but not really
Night 8: Convert Andres - failed it looks like because he was an angel?

Am I missing one?

[taka]

woo, thanks YLC for hosting, it was very interesting. shame i couldnt contribute more, as i thought it was very confusing (this was during exam period aswell, which made it even wrse for myself lol).

however the concept of the game and the everything was really good

and well done to the winning team! got there in the end lol

[Beefy187]

I died round one woot!! Good choice I made as I was far more useful dead then alive..

Sorry I missed half the game though. Great game and brilliant ideas!

[Chaotix]

.................................................................................................... .............................

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Wow. Just.... wow.

This is probably the first game where I have been completely blindsided- I never suspected Reenk once, even though he did not win, and although it was me that realized White_Eyes was probably a bad ghost, I though it was only because he was lynched. And then Sigurd turning into an SK like that, and winning the game!

This is also one of the strangest mafia games I've ever played. Reading through those last four pages right now, I was confused out of my mind. This whole game doesn't make sense to me.

Nevertheless, it was entertaining. Good game to both Sigurd and Reenk!

[Sigurd]

Strike 3 ...

[Andres]

I'm still confused...

Sigurd started pro-town and got converted after dead in one of the last rounds?

Reminds me of Cosa Nuova II...

Sorry that I didn't get involved more deeply, YLC. I blame Ephesus and being in three mafia games at the same time

Congrats mafia

The Serial Killer won

[White_eyes:D]

The Serial Killer won

Had the host allowed Sigurd to blocked that WOG'ed player, things would have been way different......

[Andres]

Congrats mafia Serial Killer

Again Sigurd

*** updating personal mafia tactic guide : a) first lynch Sigurd; b) after that, when in doubt, lynch 'khaan ***


Mafia tactic haiku
Must lynch Sigurd first
in doubt afterwards lynch 'khaan
lynch suspects later

[White_eyes:D]

Ok, I been thinking that this was a great game and everything.....but one thing about this game really bothered me....

It had to do with Quintus's role....when you really think about it, his role was WAY overpowered.....

1.As a Pro-town living, he could veto all ghost actions and direct them himself, he also had a (role-blocking sister who he knew from the start who he could trust...) he also could not be possesed by glyphz...we tried and failed....

2.As a dead Pro-town he could again veto all ghost actions.....and worse....if Reenk corrupted him, he would become a super power-Mafia demon.....I don't want to even think of what that was capeable of.....

3.And lastly, he seemed to have been insured win.....no matter what.....EVEN in a SK kills all ending....
since, the SK's mission was to ENSURE that Quintus lived no matter what......

4.Now I feel really cheated about this...(I am so jealous) as a Pro-town ghost, I was able to do.....nothing really since, Quintus would just veto it if he didn't think it was good. Even when I was a Mafia ghost....I HATED having no ability's but my ability to lie and bluff.....and only spy....

As I put a good deal of thought into this game.....8 hours in total just thinking up the "vengueful ghost lie" and how to pull it off......on Reenk's command Even though I knew I had no defense and was only drawing a Pro-town's attention for one night.....and helping to get Khaan killed
Anyway, I am a little dismoralelzed that everything I did....(which worked greatly) went down the drain....because we had a Pro-town/could be Mafia/SK living win conidtions role....which would have won, no matter how it went in the closing rounds.....

So I am, really bummed out by this and if you really are doing a seqeul to this...I feel I need to pass...since hardwork and lieing in your Mafia games doesn't cut it anymore.....only ability's of the Pro-town, Mafia and SK's.....

I admit, it made me think and bluff on a level I never thought I was capuable of....but I really feel like it was all wasted.....even though I had a blast
