Steampunk Mafia [Concluded]

Tally:

CB - 2 (CDF, Khazar)
Khazaar - 2 (CB, Slashandburn)
Didn't vote - 1 (Atheotes)

Slashandburn - you did not unvote before switching your vote to CB so I'm counting your original Khazaar vote.

Yaropolk gathers the remaining 5 contestants and explains. Well well well it looks like we're down to just 5. I can count you on one hand now! Who have you decided to test my creations today? Captain Blackadder and Khazaar both step forward. Two volunteers? Great. I have two perfectly safe inventions that will in no way interact to result in a horrible death for both of you!

Khazaar, I want you to put on this rocket pack. It's been in development for over 2 weeks, so that's A-OK safe in my book! Khazaar put ons the rocket pack and amazingly enough it takes off safely. He swiftly buzzes around the airship.

Captain Blackadder, I want you to try out my new magnetic harpoon system. It's the latest and greatest hunting tool. You lock it onto your prey, and squeeze the trigger. The electric field generated by the target's body attracts the harpoon, even if it tries to evade, and then you just reel it in. Nothing could be easier.

CB takes aim at a passing eagle, but as he squeezes the trigger, Khazaar buzzes in front of him. The harpoon hits Khazaar and takes him out of the sky. CB doesn't have time to react, and is dragged overboard with him. All that remains of CB is a transistor radio that fell out of his pocket.

It works it works! Wonderful! Very well gentlemen. This may be your last chance to root out the cheater, consider your actions carefully tonight and get to work.

ahhhhh, not good.

**atheotes** · 10-12-2009, 16:35

i missed voting again... sorry guys

**Cultured Drizzt fan** · 10-12-2009, 16:38

I do not like being in situations like this.......

hey guys, anyone confirm that this.... In the Green box you find a Plunger, a Bellows, a Steamer, and an empty Glass Vial. is the protection item?

**Beskar** · 10-12-2009, 18:14

I think it is Atheotes.

Slashandburn netted us one cheater, CDF has seemed pretty normal.

**Centurion1** · 10-12-2009, 23:17

either atheotes or cdf. Perhaps cdf was a little too suspicious....

**Khazaar** · 10-13-2009, 11:14

...and here I thought I´d survive the lynch...

**Yaropolk** · 10-13-2009, 14:58

Since this is the last night, I am putting everything in the writeup, no PMs are sent.

Slashandburn was hunkered down in his room. He set an alarm on the door, wore a tin bucket as a helmet and hid behind his bed. At the stroke of midnight, the alarm rang! Armed with a wrench Slashandburn ran to the door. He swung it open and CDF tripped and fell forward into the room. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" yelled Slashandburn, towering over the fallen man. I'm here to protect you from attackers explained CDF. At the same time, the alarm went off again, this time Atheotes was standing in the doorway looking at the scene unfolding in front of him.

Slashandburn changed his attention to the newcomer. Raising his wrench in a threatening manner he approached Atheotes. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Atheotes pushed Slashandburn out of the way, "I'm here to protect you, look out behind you!", and raised a Toxicide pistol. He shot CDF who was just getting up off the floor.

"Phew that was close" Slashandburn sighed in relief, "Thank you Atheotes." The two men went out onto the public deck to find Von Yaropolk and inform him that the cheaters have been dealt with. As they passed a steam powered cannon, Slashandburn went over to inspect it. "Really a marvel of technology, ain't it?" he commented. Slashandburn tried to get a closer look at the side of the cannon when Atheotes pushed him over the edge.

At the same time Von Yaropolk strolled out for his midnight walk of the ship. "Ah Atheotes, good to see you. What are you doing up this late?" Atheotes replied "Professor, I am happy to report, all cheaters have been dealt with." "Don't try to fool an old man my boy", replied Von Yaropolk. You may be a cheater, but you did win this year's competition. You and your two friends, Captain Blackadder and Pevergreen all get a steampunk medal:

Put it in your signature if you like.

Host's notes:

The game turned out to be very close. In several rounds I thought mafia was done for, but it came down to a single choice of who Atheotes would kill at the end. The mafia did not collaborate at all via radio, and this got in their way quite a bit. Here's the night by night breakdown:

Role selection:
The cheater boxes are left for last. Pever, Atheotes and CB pick the magic boxes. I made 1 box full of 7 guns (Pever got it). The other 2 cheaters do not have any guns in their boxes, but they do have some useful stuff like acid sprayer. This was done to prevent having more than 1 kill at a time. If pever died with the magic gun box, the contents would be split between Atheotes and Pever. If they used all 7 guns, they would no longer be able to kill.

N1

Khazaar – Radio (success )
Atheotes – Alarm (success)
Sassaki – Camera on Beskar (fail)
Beskar – Radio (fail)
Centurion – Jailkeep on Pevergreen (success)
Double A – Camera on Beskar (success) (sees sassaki)
Pever kill Double A (auto) (blocked)
CDF protect Sassaki (success)
Slashandburn spy on pevergreen (success)

Pevergreen gets blocked and investigated right out of the gate, not good for mafia. On the other hand the guns are now split between CB and Atheotes. Mafia did not talk at all. Pever is lynched Atheotes and CB get 4 and 3 guns respectively.

N2
Double A Acid Spray on CB (acid, fail)
Sasaki purple on AVSM (roleblock success)
CDF black on Tratorix (roleblock fail)
SlashandBurn blue on AVSM (xray, success)
Beskar yellow on centurion (watcher, success, killed by CB)
Cb kill beskar (success)
Avsm blue on sasaki (watcher, success, blocked by doorknob)
Centurion green on double a (Invesitigate, dud)
Atheotes kill beskar (success)

The two cheaters don't coordinate at all, its really time to start at least calling your kills out. Both target Beskar. That's a waste of a gun, you're down to 5 kills. CB dodges an acid attack. Also I steampunk'd tratorix.

N3
Slashandburn yellow on CB (gun, dud)
Sassaki green on CB (revive success)
CDF purple on CB (roleblock fail)
Double A brown on Khazaar (teleporter, dud)
CB kill Double A (red box, success)
Atheotes - no orders

CB sends in orders to kill CDF, then Atheotes radios that he will kill CDF. CB switches target to Double A, but Atheotes never follows through with a kill order. I messed up the description for the reviver (steam powered vs wheel powered) so Sasaki doesnt know what he's using. He sends in a revive on CB unintentionally. I compensate Sasaki by giving him a random box from the now dead Double A. He gets a jailkeeper.

CB is the tephlon don of the day. CB has a kill attempt, a roleblock and a revive targeted at him. The two attacks miss, and the revive works although is not needed. He's down to one shot though and will probably be lynched. If Atheotes is MIA tomorrow, mafia is screwed.

N4

Sassaki bronze on Khazaar (jailkeeper) fail
CB kill Sasaki (last of his guns)
Slashandburn (silver) on Khazaar – xray goggles success
Khazaar blue box on atheotes – roleblock success
CDF orange on CB - kill fail
Atheotes kill CDF - blocked.

This was set to be a night of reservoir dogs. Everyone has a gun pointed to each other's head. Atheotes could've killed CDF, CDF kill CB, CB kill Sassaki, Sassaki block Khazaar and so on! CB uses his last gun and once again manages to dodge the bullet. Good news for town Khazaar blocks Atheotes and Sasaki's jailkeep on Khazaar fails.

D4 - I am very surprised that CB hasn't been strung up 5 ways till sunday by now. Slashandburn incorrectly votes for Khazaar, then for CB without unvoting. Looks like we have 2 lynch candidates. If I favor any one of them over the other then I pretty much hand victory over to the other side. I decide to lynch them both.

N5 - CDF protects Slash, and Slash alarms his own room. If Atheotes attacks slash, town wins. Otherwise mafia wins. The game came down to Atheotes' decision on the last night. He killed CDF.

I apologise to the host and other players for my inactivity. I havent been able to visit the org as much as i would like to due to RL.

Congrats to my cheater buddies, particularly CB as he was pretty much without any help. Thanks for hosting Yaropolk

**Beskar** · 10-13-2009, 16:40

As I said in other games, when Atheotes lurks, he is the Mafia.

**Cultured Drizzt fan** · 10-13-2009, 20:58

Blast!

and I was soo close living through a game!

**Centurion1** · 10-13-2009, 23:27

darn well chalk up another loss.

Good game yaropolk i really enjoyed my short time playing...

**Cultured Drizzt fan** · 10-14-2009, 00:10

yep great game, and great Idea Yaropolk

**slashandburn** · 10-14-2009, 01:42

Sorry should have pposted i was protecting my self.

**atheotes** · 10-14-2009, 03:24

I was hoping for that... because i knew CDF had already used his 2 roleblocks and one kill... he was more likely to go protect you that do anything to me... but i had no idea what you were going to do...you wouldnt kill anyone because that could end up bad... i thought u will protect urself or roleblock one of us...
