Time Travelers Timewarp [Concluded]

[Ishmael]

You make a solid case Lewwyn, but one thing makes me think Greyblades (probably) isn't scum - his earlier claim to be Doc Brown, and that he knew the identity of issaikhaan as Marty McFly. Evidently he was correct on the second point, and I find it unlikely that mafia and town would be partnered in a mason role. It's not impossible though, I'll admit.

issaikhaan, could you reveal any previous private conversation you have had with Greyblades? Did you know his identity from your role PM?

Round Over prepare for write up

[Lewwyn]

ORLY? I thought we had another day...

Greyblades, Lewwyn
Atheotoes, Arjos,
Lewwyn, Ishamel,Tuuvi
Tuuvi, Visorslash, Edse, Tuuvi


As the day draws to a close Inspector Spacetime looks at the current people standing before him. ”Who is to be the victim for this day? He asks the crowd. Various people shout back at him and they push a figure forward. This time the victim is to be Mr Travis (Tuuvi) as the push him forward. He pulls out a gun. “You will not take me. You know what the TIME police where right we did deserve death for our actions. We have meddled and changed the past as we thought was right and what did it get us? My land no longer exsists because of the actions of one fool. Now I live in a facist dictatorship. I only wanted one thing and one thing only. I wanted that fool Eckels dead. Is that too much to ask for? Inspector Spacetime looks at him waves his hands and summons Constable Reginald Wigglesworth. The Inspector looks at him. Let us get him like the Blorgons. Pew, Pew go the lasers and Mr Travis is struck by one of them and falls down dead. With this death the time contamnemt device begins to falter and finally fails. All the Time Travellers are free to go.

TOWN VICTORY.

I will have a few comments regarding this tomorrow because I am not on the comp that has the spreadsheet. However congrats town on a very good performance

Visor said something about "neighbors", no?

I know that he said activity was an issue for him and we know for a fact that someone needed to send a PM in order to give a lynch 'tone', which took quite some time. That sounds like the sort of thing that scum would be asked to do.

So what I'm basically thinking is our remaining scum has had issues with being a lurker.

No.

Edse is not inactive. Crow was. CB plainly stated that he was awaiting word from Crow.



Seems to me you've lynched Tuuvi, fellows.

Visor and Salmon, if you go to D1 and vote Daveshack, Chaotix will return! This will allow Lewwyn a "free" kill - one that won't affect the number of rounds.

If Visor and Salmon can be expected to follow through on this, Lewwyn, you should kill whomever you believe should be killed - tonight.


EDIT: THAT'S GREAT.

NEVER MIND

[Lewwyn]

Haha, well glad I was wrong about Greyblades!

Yay, both objective complete. Destroy Time Police and survive.

Glad I switched Salmon out for Khann...

[Visor]

Awww Yeah. Nice job town. Quite happy that both Bill and Ted survived.

And, go for me for actually voting a scumbag off. :D

[Montmorency]

Man, I didn't accomplish a thing. Even my "sacrifice" was worthless.

The failure of your cockamamie schemes worked out for you in the end!

Congratulations to Tuuvi. You were only 3rd on the list of suspects.

I don't believe I was being waited on! Where did it say that?

[LazyMcCrow]

YOU were awesome. Town was awesome.

[Captain Blackadder]

I don't believe I was being waited on! Where did it say that?

You were not I was waiting for Tuuvi at the time. I offered him the chance to take the half victory or go for the full one.

[Visor]

@ CB

What were the roles?

Also, the time travel mechanic is very powerful in a competent town's hands. Which we had. It was a very cool mechanic though.

[Captain Blackadder]

I don't have them on me at this time, wrong comp. I will say this Yaropolk was a doctor I did laugh when not only did you lynch him you went back in time to make sure he was dead. Tuuvi was Mr Travis from a sound of thunder a sk with one person targeted Eckels who was Edse.

And I was one of the ineffective Time Police Mafia.
Pretty much every time I went to make a post, I ended up deleting it: Utterly befuddled and in awe of the townie minds at work. Seriously - well played. It was like watching a team of tiny monkeys work out how to complete a rubiks cube in a day.

That's one of the most awesome analogies I've heard.
Half the job of a townie is convincing the other townies you are a townie.

Oh and just realized, if Tuuvi was an SK, I was right about not having a mafia partner to ask about power roles... Tuuvi was that an intentional throwaway?

[Arjos]

So Crow was mafia and Tuuvi discarded a shared Town-SK victory?
Well, gg chaps XD

Blackie the game was very enjoyable, but might need some balance, as Visor said an organized town gets it easy :)

[SalmonSoil]

So glad I was revived in time for our victory.

Go town. Woo!

[CountArach]

Great game guys. I think that keeping the voting close helped a great deal, and the excellent use of the vote swapping played out immensely well. I just wish that I had been alive to share it with you all!

Thanks for running this CB, it was legitimately one of the most interesting games of mafia I've played. Some very odd mechanics that, if used well, are incredibly powerful.

[Yaropolk]

Btw I was the doctor - saved CA on day one then you bastards lynched me! Good game though and great job town - thanks for hosting CB!

[DaveShack]

I saw all the activity right out of the gate and knew it was going to be pretty hard to blend in.

My attempted misdirection post (that you weren't buying in any form) was half true -- I really did overlook the importance of Lewwyn's claim to have killed me. I should have either refrained from doing anything that night, or tried to keep him dead. Though it's mighty hard to figure out what that would have taken.

N1 I tried to kill Monty, and never was sure what prevented it. Was it a time travel conflict, a roleblocker, or was there a doctor involved?

[Tuuvi]

I don't have them on me at this time, wrong comp. I will say this Yaropolk was a doctor I did laugh when not only did you lynch him you went back in time to make sure he was dead. Tuuvi was Mr Travis from a sound of thunder a sk with one person targeted Eckels who was Edse.

Ugghhh through the whole game I had this feeling that Edse was Eckels since both their names start with e, but I decided to just go down the list in order instead of targeting Edse first. Big mistake. From now on when I play mafia I'm going to go with my gut even if it seems silly, that's what I did in Visorslash's game and somehow I guessed right.

That's one of the most awesome analogies I've heard.

No. This is only my second mafia game ever, so it was a serious question. Also, I didn't start killing until I killed Montmorency.

[Montmorency]

Though it's mighty hard to figure out what that would have taken.

Should have voted Yaropolk. Nothing to all that talk of "balance". It was just this one Mafia mistake that killed a scum and revived a vig.

[Montmorency]

Oof, and I made another mistake of my own.

Vote Lewwyn, that is, go along with the town's original plan.

Love it!

Well played everybody, and thanks to CB for hosting - I can't imagine how hard it must have been to keep everything straight. I think this game ranks up there with Buffy as to having the best town cooperation I've seen, and despite some confusion it worked very well.

Also, I agree with Visorslash - despite it not being part of my VC, and the fact that I only learnt of his existence half-way through, I'm glad both Bill and Ted survived - Rock on, Wyld Stallyns!

I've been insanely busy, and 600 posts is too much to just skim through.

As for Balance I had 4 kills a night possible since I knew the longer the game went on the harder it would be for town to turn back changes. Luckily no time paradox's occured though it was close if the game had continued and Lewwyn had been the vote that revived Lazy then a paradox would have occurred.

Here is the spreadsheet that I used to keep track



The top one was the game without changes for me to work off. The bottom one was the current actions in play.

[edse]

What were the final standings of day 1? Would a vote change by Visorslash change anything?

[Ishmael]

I've been insanely busy, and 600 posts is too much to just skim through.

Please, this game sounds interesting... a summary of what happened, explained in dumb terms to a lay person?

I'll do my best.

Early on, the town decided to keep the lynches close so that we could change them more easily later, thus effectively giving us twice (or more) chance of lynching scum due to the time-travelling ability everybody had. We put this to good use, promptly lynching the doctor and vigilante (at this point Montmorency, Greyblades and myself performed a sneaky manoeuvre to ensure that our doctor stayed dead). However, due to a mistake on the town's part the vigilante was brought back to life, and promptly nailed one of the mafia (bringing yours truly back to life). I kind of lost track at this point, but we managed to lynch the remaining mafioso and the SK at least partially by accident.

Does that sound about right?

EDIT: Also, did the Time Police have a QT?

[Visor]

Bump.

I am also interested if the Time Police had a QT. Also, CB do you have any more host notes on the game itself?

[Greyblades]

Hey! There were plenty of votes left to revive him, I just wanted to make sure that the mafia's 2 votes wouldnt be able to resurrect him on thier own.
