Buffy Mafia 2: A Slayer's Work Game Thread [Concluded]

[Montmorency]

I have to say, this is the most grueling early game I've ever played. More games should start with extended phases.

It is a bad habit of mine only when posting without thinking to write very long run on sentences.

This is actually more normal for me. I was infuriated with the lack of talking in The island. In games I play on different sites this is much more normal.

[Erebus]

Still pretty light for RB. Need Zak here to lead the mislynch bandwagon.

Pizza, what the heck did I ask you yesterday before changing my vote? What have you answered?

Then you came in thread and said the host informed you were scanned... that left me thinking why on earth the host didn't say the same to me when I was scanned...

I'm not wasting more my time on you dude, at the very last you were a very uncooperative independent role, as you claimed to be...

Oh jebus.

No one but the host informed me I was scanned. As in, no PLAYER came forward and said hai, I scanned you Pizza.

I thought that was clear. The host doesn't count as a player in this game. I wouldn't know I was scanned in the first place unless the host said something about the hand chopping.

What nonsense is this about "very uncooperative"? Bull droppings. I revealed all my information and helped connect the doctors together without self-contaminating. I've done more for the town than you could possibly ask of a neutral in two phases, I just wasn't kissing anyone's rump, that's all. I asked for one whole thing, which was not being killed off. Did what I was supposed to do to help, but town didn't give a rats behind and listened to some anonymous prankster instead of thinking for themselves, and lynched me.




And guys, I was too busy scanning Player A and Player B (already posted who player B was) and finding out they were human to be doing serial killings.

Neutral serial killer???

Dudes. The character Rondell may have gone anti-demon at one point in his life, in the TV show, but the character Rondell in this game is still a part of Gunn's crew and had no other powers besides scanning. You just want to believe you caught something good, but you didn't, you blew it. That's all. You wasted a really useful scanner based on the premise that neutrals are any less townie than townies in this game.

A game where townies are corruptible as well, and the only difference between a neutral and a townie is the survival win condition.

Essentially, you just lynched one of your better detectives, over BS. Swallow it. It tastes bad, but you'll get over it. I have.



I didn't even have any ability to remove non-humans. All I had was my scan and my vote, just like I said. You didn't catch anyone, let alone anyone of value. You killed your own detective. That's all.

I have nothing left to contribute as my own win conditions are screwed now, so you're on your own. Enjoy the peace and quiet.


One last thing, if I was so anti-demon, why was I so willing to continue to help Montmorency, who admitted he was a demon in-thread, even after he had been a pain in my neck?

Because I wasn't even anti-demon. I was simply pro-human. That's all. No anti-anything, just foolishly concerned with fellow human beings and their ability to live. Killed by those same humans.

Learned my lesson, didn't I, atheotes?

Buffy Season 1 Episode 3: New Kid in Town

Buffy is on patrol. She comes across a pentagram with burnt out candles at the corners.

Buffy: That's probably not a good thing.

Cue Intro Music

Buffy succeeds in tracking whatever was in that pentagram to a house. She slips inside, to hear fighting.
She carefully looks around the corner...





and sees AskthePizzaguy struggling with a shark-faced demon!


Buffy: Yikes! The last time someone like him came to this town, it was disastrous!

And so saying, Buffy pulls out her stake and stabs ... AskthePizzaguy

AskthePizzaguy: Geez, can't a brother catch a break around here?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

AskthePizzaguy was Rondell!

Buffy: Ok, so maybe that wasn't the best idea. But in that case ...

Buffy looks up, but the Shark-demon is gone, and so is any trail.

Night ends in about 3 hours if I have 2/3 of the possible actions, otherwise it ends in 9, at 12:00 or 18:00 EST respectively

[Alsark]

Well then...

So as far as I see it, there's two possibilities here:

1) The scanner that had contacted Mont's contacts was lying.

OR

2) ATPG may have been converted, thus changing his victory condition.

Really, the second option makes more sense to me. Why go out of your way to get somebody lynched if their victory condition is just to protect all humans? That's hardly a threatening role - especially when they're neutral-aligned.

However, it may be worth looking into an alliance between this individual and the person who was in second place for the lynch (Seon?). If one of them is mafia, it in all likelihood increases the chances of the other being mafia, too. However, this all depends on the timing of the events. If this person only started telling people that ATPG's condition was to kill humans AFTER the Seon votes started piling up, then it's odd. If he spread this information at the beginning of the phase, then there's nothing off about it at all (so that alliance isn't as likely as with any other player).

For now, I'd say we should not reveal this individual publicly. Whoever knows about him (I think we're all males here? I don't know anybody here) should talk things out with him privately and make a decision based upon that. If he is telling the truth, it would suck to out/kill another scanner.

[thefluffyone93]

And this is why I never give my information to anyone ever.

Maybe I'm smarter because I know cats can be bats can be rats can be hats can be gnats can be thats can be thises.

WABBAJACK.

Angel Season 1 Episode 3: Old Friends

Angel is in a decidedly broody state, so he goes to take council with an acquaintance.

Angel: Gwen, have I lost my way? Is running this town corrupting me?

Gwen: Don't ask me. You had not one, not two, but three conduits to the higher powers,
and you drove them all away.


Angel stalks off broodily. Cue opening music


Kennigit is on a field trip with her class to the L.A. museum of Art. Bored she sneaks off for a smoke on her own. Another figure approaches her.

Figure: Now now, Kennigit, whatever would your sister say if she knew you'd snuck off like this?

Kennigit: Oh, hey there. She'd say ' Don't go off on your own, and don't smoke, and go to bed early, things can be dangerous.'

Figure: Quite right, after all, you might get attacked by DEMONS!!!

Kennigit is attacked and slain by the demon, as the figure watches.


Elsewhere in a bar, landlubber is slumped over the bar. A large figure comes crashing in. Everyone else runs screaming, but landlubber just lies there.

Large figure: Huh? That's strange.

The figure grabs landlubber. Landlubber starts to awaken and struggles, but the figure is too strong and simply crushes her in a lethal bear hug.

Large figure: Curious, I was expecting more of a fight.


Additionally, the next morning El Barto was nowhere to be found.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Kennigit was Dawn!!

landlubber was Faith!!!
El Barto has disappeared!

El Barto

[edse]

So the possibly evil slayer and Buffy's sister. El Barto seems to have fulfilled his goals.

[Montmorency]

So El Barto was the big vig, or what? Hey big vig: if you're still out there, please contact me. That was a good shot N1, but you're kind of killing good people.

I am in contact with that certain individual, the scanner who caused trouble for me. I am still highly suspicious of him.

Hai guys, so guess what? I told my roleblocker that I would scan the individual I found to be the supposed scanner. And THE RESULT?

I WAS ROLEBLOCKED.



Some fools best contact me fast, before I name names.

[Montmorency]

BTW, Kennigit was a location scanner. Cooperative. Probably not evil.

[Alsark]

So there's 16 players left... likely somewhere around 4 mafia. So on the plus side, we have a ~25% chance of lynching correctly; higher still if Montmorency is able to lead a successful lynch based off of his contact pool. I think we've got this :).

What kind of scanner are you, Montmorency?

And that's certainly interesting about the roleblocking. It would definitely be worth looking into; however, I'd say we should look into the roleblocker before the scanner. The reason being is that the roleblocker - if it was the same person, was trying to protect the scanner OR throw you off to generate chaos. This means that while the scanner could be the victim of mafia trickery, it's not very likely that the roleblocker is non-mafia if the scanner is mafia.

[Montmorency]

I'm just not sure anymore. He's the one who was "contacted" by the scanner, and hid it from me, went behind my back - and now roleblocked by him because I WANTED TO SCAN HIS SCANNER?

There are limits to faith.

I am an identity scanner. Make of that what you will.

[Montmorency]

So there's 16 players left... likely somewhere around 4 mafia.

Keep in mind that Mr. Trick, the lucky N1 hit, was definitely scum.

[Montmorency]

Problem being, I can't trust one to vet the other.

And I will note that this VC scanner has a role scanner (scanned Pizza N1) that he has not revealed to me yet.

[edse]

So you wanted to scan your scanner but got roleblocked by your roleblocker.

[Montmorency]

My roleblocker's scanner, let's call it.

[edse]

Ah, I see. sounds like your roleblocker wanted to infiltrate you organisation with the proposed scanner.

[Montmorency]

Mmmm, no. He was originally trying to hide the scanner from me. It took a lot of prying to find his identity.

[johnhughthom]

I might have missed it, but have you roleclaimed, Monty?

[edse]

Mmmm, no. He was originally trying to hide the scanner from me. It took a lot of prying to find his identity.

But do you know it is a scanner? Maybe he just want you to believe it's a scanner so he then could give you any result that fits their interest. So when you wanted to find out he roleblocked you so his lies wouldn't come forth.

[Montmorency]

You guys lynched Pizza on his word, so

[edse]

I scanned Lewwyn, he is Dracula.

What did the scanner claim that Pizza was, could he just have misinprented the result?

[johnhughthom]

I might have missed it, but have you roleclaimed, Monty?

[Montmorency]

He claimed that his VC was to kill the humans, as scanned on N2.

JHT, really? I've done so twice by now. Second time should be on this page or the previous. Don't be lazy.

[johnhughthom]

JHT, really? I've done so twice by now. Second time should be on this page or the previous. Don't be lazy.

Lazy! Have you any idea how many pms I'm receiving about Westeros? How many QTs I have to keep up with!? And you expect me to search through a thread? Stuff that.

Meh, looked through a load of pages and couldn't find it. Unless that Master thing was a soft claim? I'm not looking through 115 posts.

[Montmorency]

More importantly -

what the is this, edse?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Thanks for the info edse, I didn't know you were talking with Monty, let keep it that way!

But I don't want to talk with him He is town aligned

Ehhh.... what the ....

[Montmorency]

Here, John.

Here, John.

You. Big. Fat. Liar.
