The Godfather, Part 3 [Concluded]

[Sasaki Kojiro]

The analyzers are better to be lynched. Thats those like ATPG, GH and LittleGrizzly.

So your plan was to lynch the host? heh

Did you guys have a quicktopic?

And Ares, why were you so sure Sasaki was evil? I thought he was too, admittedly.

I guess that juggling ball bit was put in their by GH, seemed weird that the mafia would choose to put it in.

I must say, it was great for fast host/mafia communication. I think all future hosts should request access to all in-game Quicktopics to make things run smoother.

[Reenk Roink]

But if I may give a request, please leave Sasaki and Ichigo alone for a time being. I don't want to welcome them back with Round 1/ Round 2 kill.

This is why I love Beefy and wanted him to win. What a great guy.

I love the smell of vindication in the morning...

Interesting read, my favorite is how ya'll thought Reenk was the mafia mastermind

I have to say though, well played. Beefy's choice to vote tevash was a tough call, but as I said when I talked about it before I had been sure atpg was headed for a lynch as well. The decision to reveal might not have been the best, it dooms you to a lynch and tevash had a decent chance of surviving. All came tumbling down in the end but it was awfully close.

Edit: Also, kudos to lord winter for coming back near the end of the game and showing off his townie side. It helped cement tevash as mafia which helped point to beefy and white_eyes.

Oh and one more thing:

About half an hour to the deadline...only so many times you can self protect before it bites you in the back. Still the right play though.

Unvote:Lord Winter
Vote:Beefy

VOTING TO SAVE YOURSELF IS THE RIGHT MOVE AS TOWN

Sasaki = Legend.

I'm glad that we had so many excellent players in this game. This game was awesome on every level. Writeups were excellent, hosting was excellent, setup was excellent, the mafia were excellent, and everyone in town got a shot at killing the Godfather. Wow.

Best game of 2009 candidate, and by the end of the year, it still will be.


EDIT:

VOTING TO SAVE YOURSELF IS THE RIGHT MOVE AS TOWN

ABSOLUTELY. It's not a certain mafia tell, fellows. Listen to Sasaki.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

well GH certainly had me fooled...

And woot! First win! (although I still died en route...)

Forgot about that

Congratulations Gaius for your first victory! And you were the only person I had in contact with who wasn't completely blinded by my beefy act

Have a baloon

Yes we did maybe Beefy could tell you it.......and I thought Rythmic was the Vigilante if you look in my kill write-up I said he had a identity.....heck you guys missed a lot of clues in my write-ups.....TinCow having "BEEFED" craved into his head.....

[Askthepizzaguy]

Heck you guys missed a lot of clues in my write-ups.....TinCow having "BEEFED" craved into his head.....

WIFOM, and Beefy is always the scapegoat. Had to ignore that, I didn't miss it at all, but I refused to believe clues that came FROM the mafia.

Ballsy, but those kinds of clues will remain in-jokes for the mafia, because it's too hit-and-miss. Lots of people were falsely implicated by the writeups.

What in the world is that???

MIDAS is to SkyNet what warp drive is to the horse and buggy. And I'm not revealing who might be helping. Someone here knows who it is, please remain silent.

[TinCow]

Whew, I'm pleased with the fake-out. I had just about given up on ever being able to spot ANY mafioso when playing as a townie, since I was so convinced about Beefy at the end. After all the dead ends I pursued in this game, the idea of a taka win nearly melted my brain since he didn't appear on my mafia radar at all. Good to know I'm only mostly hopeless as a townie, and not totally.

MIDAS is to SkyNet what warp drive is to the horse and buggy.

Is it too much to hope that it has improved levels of brevity?

[White_eyes:D]

Is it too much to hope that it has improved levels of brevity?

It is too much to hope it will keep ATPG's post count down?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Everyone who played this game:

I want you to know I have taken your friendly and helpful advice to heart.

1. I will be spoilering my longer posts
2. I will be talking a lot less, especially in the earlier stages
3. There will be no MIDAS report to read. Everything is secret. You either trust the advice or not.
4. If you demand a specific argument for a certain person, I'll keep it brief and to the point.
5. I'll need your help in refining my style in this manner. Be patient and you will get the results you want out of me: Helpful, yet bearable.

I hope I redeemed myself even a little, and please, do NOT be afraid to offer me your advice and tell me if I am getting annoying. I do care, I am not so much of a jerk as to ignore all my friends.

[Beefy187]

Behold!! The wall of text!! In beef flavor!! (Gibberish!)

Alright. Since GH said his going to take a while for his write up, heres my thoughts.

Firstly, thank you White_eyes and Tevash. I couldn't have gone this far with out both of you. Big hug for both of you

I remember someone using tree in the forest quote. My plan was to SPAM SPAM SPAM with all the WIFOM and so it will confuse the hell out of the town and it did work to some extent. I counted on people to pardon silly Beefical behavior.

I regret the early game when I was almost lynched. I thought the victory was impossible when I got chosen as the God Father but I thought surviving long as I could is my duty. My grunts were quick to back me up, and I managed to get few peoples trust with a risky play.

While people could argue about Reenks behavior, constantly being scummy and all, Reenk always scared the crap out of me at least, and I believe scared my crew as well. When Reenk updated his title to "defender of Beefy" I thought he already knew that I'm the God Father. He always backed me up when needed, and White_eyes suggested that Reenk could have the Master mind role. That gave me some comfort but I never had the guts to push for Reenk lynch when I could've as I was paranoid about Reenk having "insta pawn God Father role" of some kind. Congratulations to Reenk for spooking me out of having mystical super role, where you were just a plain old townie.

To get a success without lurking, I got in contact with few players. When Gaius first contacted me, I reminded him about how he betrayed me in one of GHs mafia, hoping that would get him to trust me slightly. I initiated mutual alliance with taka which I managed to get a almost complete trust until the final few rounds and approached close to ATPG when I discovered that I passed his first skynet analysis.

Things were going well for me. I managed to completely slip out of the rader through out mid game and end game, none of my grunts were suspected, at this stage I finally saw a possibility of me actually winning this game.

That changed when one of my grunt Tevash got in the way of Pizza Lord. As we accidentally forgot to send in one of the kill orders which incriminated Lord Winter, I thought of the possibility of sacrificing Tevash, campaign that "Tevash was killed but we still have same old write up.. Tevash must've been innocent.. Lynch Pizza guy!"
But White_eyes and Tevash protested and asked me to support Tevash. Thus my awkward behavior on Tevash case.

ATPG was a useful asset for me. In psychology it says who ever speaks more gets their opinion accepted more often. ATPGs case often leads to lynches. So all I have to do were follow around ATPG like a puppy and we get our lynches we need. While ATPG should be and for my rise and success, he was also the reason for my fall and ultimate defeat. No matter how calmly I convinced him not to lynch Tevash, he stubbornly denied it. Tevash case eventually led me into the chopping board as most of the case against me were behavior during Tevash case and behavior in the end game.

White_eyes made a fake detective role pm, which Tevesh could've used by he went inactive so he got lynched earlier then we expected..

Then we got into the end game. I suggested to White_eyes that we should keep our distances far away as possible, which didn't really do. We ended up keeping our self relatively close which I regret.

Then White_eyes got lynched. I was hoping for a victory that round, but there was nothing I could've done to prevent but to stay up all night to shift the vote. That was mostly my fault for not being online when things looked bad for White_eyes. And that got him lynched.

For the whole time, I relied on White_eyes and Tevash to do the write up as I am obviously not a native speaker. So when I found out that White_eyes won't be sending me the night kill description on the QJC kill due to computer maintenance, I had to write it my self. My original write up was made out of three lines before it was edited by GH. I can't remember the exact write up but its something along the line of

QJC came back home
*BANG!!
Mafia laughed and left the scene

At that stage I was already on the edge. When I discovered that GHs kill description clearly showed that it was done by the God Father, meaning White_eyes were one of the grunts, I relied on WIFOM to get me out of the mess. I accused my self over and over, then change my attitude to "I want to survive...I'm innocent! Help! If you lynch me.. We lose!"

When I saw that it wasn't very effective, I practically gave up. When Reenk contacted me on the last day, still thinking that Reenk already knows that I'm the God Father, I revealed to him and told him I'm willing to do a public reveal as there is no chance I could get out of it. But Reenk convinced me not to and wait for the final judgment as I still have some hope.

White_eyes and Reenk did a little skit at the end, just to mess with the town but I had nothing to do with that.

I'm happy that the town managed to get me at the end, although I was surprised that taka and ATPG were still convinced that I am innocent (no offense. I love you both )

Congratulations to Seamus, TinCow, pevergreen & Sasaki for leading the town to victory, nailing me at the end. Especially Sasaki who deserves a MVP of this game if there is such award.
.................................................................................................... ..................................................................................

Thoughts came in my mind. Although I had nearly no chance of survival in the last round, If I was consistent about lynching taka at the end, maybe I could've won. As Reenk turns out that he was convinced of my innocence. Two votes on taka and one votes on Reenk would've forced Andres to vote for Reenk. Which would've got me out of the trouble. I gave up too early didn't I..

And another thought about ATPG. You called me master of patience and clearly you lack patience But I respect your ability to convince the town to lynch who you want and I respect the scum rather which can point out scummy behavior of others. I played countless of games on the Org but I never ever built my own case against anyone. I usually end up going on the bandwagon or hop on others with the votes already. Your ability to convince the town to lynch who you want is exactly what I need along with your ability to detect scummy players. And your strong will to drag who ever you decided guilty all the way to the chopping board no matter what happens is also nice thing for me to have. I shall call you master too

.................................................................................................... ............................................

Finally a huge... Huge thanks to GH! I never managed to survive too long in Capo. So this is one of the best game I ever played along with the Golden Rule which was legendary in different ways.
Thanks heaps!!

And thanks to all my fellow players who made this enjoyable
Apart from a little heated discussion in midgame which I didn't really enjoy..

See you in the next game

PS: Lynch taka
