It's a surprise mafia [Concluded]

[Romanic]

@Romanic: Could we add a %losing list for the statistics? I'd like to make the top of at least something xD

I decided against showing the "worse of" lists because not everyone likes to appear in these lists and I don't want to discourage anyone from playing here. These stats are meant to be fun.

You wouldn't appear anyway, not enough games yet (you need 10).

I'm sorry, but I don't have a clue what you mean; what did you want from us, exactly?

I'm guessing it must have been something that Romanic was unwilling to budge on, whatever it was. :S

Renata wanted information. Unclear if she would have been satisfied until we revealed our identities to her. Anyway, in a game like this, you cannot satisfy a recruitable player this way. Renata was being difficult because she's like that. You won't get a candy until you gave her one first.

ATPG - I'll be waiting for you to list the winners before entering this game in the database. I'm not sure who was what in the end, and if the remaining Pepperonis are considered to have reverted back to Town, since the last lynch ended the game.

1) Amazingly, ONLY DIAMONDEYE died while actually cult.... everyone else was de-converted or not converted before their deaths, other than the cult leaders!

That's a sad point for Diamondeye, as technically that makes him the only townie to lose the game; but cults are cults.

2) I had no clue the fight was staged between Dump and himself. The fact that he fooled me about it makes me kinda glad he's dead.

No trick game host. Bad mojo.

Yeah but at least it was funny. I accused myself of having white trash kids. Comic gold.

Oh, entertaining and very amusing, indeed.

You're a strange one, Major Dump. You're the king of kooky thoughts.

Yay, I was on the winning side. Surprised I wasn't killed off, to be true. Which of my de-converts were actually successful?

[Renata]

This was a very strange game for me. I realized quite early that as a recruitable townie (and one who was never town in the game except for the first and last days of it), I had next to no incentive to do *anything* until the kills started -- I mean, what were the cults going to do against me if I was a pain in the tush? Throw rotten tomatoes? So I voted with my cult when it seemed I could do so without drawing too much negative attention, and when I couldn't, I just did nothing.

I've mentioned how TLD and MRD's use of my name in the Pepperoni QT hamstrung me with respect to them. It meant that, unless they were willing to out themselves to me (or potentially, if they gave me a new private QT link upon some future re-recruiting), I could never be of any real use to them in terms of information (unless in a single definitive move, which never materialized). I found that frustrating. When I was finally recruited to the Sausage Cult and given both private QT *and* a code name, I thought great, I'll work for this side instead, and I started pushing for information.

As I mentioned to Romanic at one point but could never really get into, I wasn't directly looking to know who the cult leaders were. Above all else I wanted to pick the winning side. And that meant I needed to know how each side was doing, with respect to each other and to the town. I would have been willing to work for a side that both had an effective plan and could find some way to include me in it, even if I might be temporarily recruited elsewhere once or twice. Romanic and Secura apparently either misunderstood me or couldn't figure out how to give me what I wanted (I'm not sure to what extent it was possible at all, given the setup), so when I was recruited right back to Pepperoni the next night I went with it. Romanic ultimately did claim to me, but his cult's weakness was too obvious and I didn't think I could win with them.

So I said what I said in public, and poof, when I woke up in the morning I was town again, and the sausage cult was gone. I spent most of the first "half" of the day prodding MRD for signs of pepperoni strength or weakness, then finally went looking -- for the first time all game -- for whom my erstwhile Pepperoni bosses actually were. When I figured that out, the way to go was obvious.

I enjoyed posing as the town recruiter, though. As everyone knows who got a PM from me, my point in doing so was just as a failsafe -- I was thinking that, with the town recruiter still alive and having shot straight the previous night (with me) while the Pepperonis had killed, that town had the better odds of victory even if I was wrong about MRD. So I wanted to die town. I could potentially cause the latter to happen and ensure the former by fooling the pepperonis about my role.

I still don't know who the town recruiter was.

[Renata]

Ah, it was you, robbie! I was, obviously.

[robbiecon]

Ah, good, good. I think I may have actually attempted to de-convert you earlier on as well.
