Mafia X [Concluded]

[Crazed Rabbit]

ATPG, I liked your list of the last six people alive where you had me and Kage as the least two suspicious.

I did really lousy this time. In fairness to me though, they are making me work what are essentially 60 hour weeks, by moving my days off to the opposite ends of sequential weeks and making me work past my scheduled time, and my scheduled time was already at 10-11 hours per day. I didn't do any sort of serious analysis this game, just superficial stuff.

I really was just going to bandwagon whoever Renata or TLD chose to vote for, because I really did not have the time. I warned them of that going into the last few rounds. I trusted their analysis more than my own at the end. Renata was right about CR, and TLD was right on Emilio, albeit too late to matter.

No joke, you guys did a phenomenal job and I am not ashamed to say you pwned me and everyone else quite properly and thoroughly. Well done, congratulations, and thank you for putting on such a crowd-pleasing performance.

Kage the lurker, grrr, I'll never let you get away with that again, though. Ask Sigurd. I still hold a grudge from the Chicago Soiree.

NEVER FORGET.

I'm going to put this in the commentary, but I agree with a few of your sentiments that Day 9 (when Pizza/Anne got lynched) was the critical round for everyone. In games past it seemed like everything would start to fall apart for the bad guys; it was the start of the endgame, there was a serious effort to lynch one of the two mafiosi, and the round was extended, which more often than not means bad news for the mafia. But CR managed to escape and the town just didn't have enough gas left in the tank on Day 10.

As a comment on the anonymous accounts: I think they add an interesting flavour to the game and once a certain point was reached the activity was high and everyone was involved.

I also think this wouldn't have been possible without the anonymous accounts. I guess CR and Kage would have been lynched at some point by default ;)

Maybe not. As you'll see in the commentary, both of them (Kage in particular) have a track record of doing amazingly well in this series. Part of it might have to do with the fact that this is what gave Kagemusha's Curse its name after all.

But that said, if it wasn't for the anonymous accounts, I would at the very least have thought twice before giving those two the role. The town would've been too tempted to metagame (even more so than usual) in the endgame as opposed to what I would have wanted them to do, which is vote strictly based off of in-thread behavior.

Yep and it worked very well I think. It wasn't until the last round (where it didn't count anymore, did it? ) that metagaming was a big deal. Only then people were going "Kage never lurked away as scum like this, it can't be Emilio" and such things... So the anonymous accounts did their job almost as well as the Mafia I'd say, so congrats to them too

[Kagemusha]

Thank you CR and GH and thank you town! My first mafia victory and my first mafia game was the first one from this series and getting another, this time a total one with none other then CR, this is a honour and priviledge. My apologies for those who feel that my tactics were underhanded, but there were three folded reasons for those tactics.First it was my summer vacation, second i wanted to break out from role as very active mafioso trying to control the game and last this is a reminder to everyone that lurker can really be a deadly adversary. I will comment further when the commentary is out. Again thank you all.This was awesome!

[Askthepizzaguy]

You do realize one lurker victory as mafia is worth 10 lurker deaths as townie? Don't complain when it happens, you've earned it now, buddy.

Dont worry.Im not complaining the slightest.This might have been the sweetest mafia victory ive had.

[TheLastDays]

Don't make me comment on the lurking :P

Also, I'm 4/5 now, losing

I think next time I draw Mafia I should announce it and everyone should let me win

Please don't wait for the commentary to be out to offer further comments, I plan on taking at least two full days off from writing anything for this site before cracking down.

(I fully expect it to break my personal record for post length, set by my Godfather 3 commentary, which is saying something. )

I think it is also time to congratulare GH for a succesful start of the Anniversary celebrations. It was an epic game with an epic ending, so thanks and very well done!
