Mafia 2301: Angels and Demons (Game Over)

[mykonian]

Let me dare to throw those gates open,
That other men go creeping by!
Now’s the time, to prove through action
Man’s dignity may rise divinely high

Rules:

1) Be nice. To me and to your fellow players.
2) Blue is my color. Please don't use it.
3) You know how to vote. Do it bolded or with vote tags.
4) You know how an elimination works. When the majority of the votes is on a person, they get eliminated.
5) A day phase takes 14 days, night phase 2.
6) If you don't get a majority before the deadline, that's just too bad.
7) Please do not break the game by artificial means, that's no fun for anyone.
8) This is a bastard game. I may break some rules about what a normal game of mafia is. You cannot, unless your role PM says differently.

You are a

vanilla townie

.

You win with the town when all the threats to the town are eliminated.

Since they live and let live, truly.
The stage is set, the boards complete,
And they await our festivity."

Day 1 has started!

If you give me your permission first,
I’ll lead him gently on the road I set.

@mod what happens? no one dies is that what its implying?

Exactly. If the deadline runs out without a majority, there is no elimination.

Man’s energies all too soon seek the level,
He quickly desires unbroken slumber,

To move, and work, and pass for the devil.

@mod is it true you have lied to us atleast once in this game so far?

I can neither confirm nor deny this.

I do not want to be impersonated, I have my own colour for clarity. The ruleset is really small, because it implies a degree of common sense. Please don't impersonate the mod, or confuse people about what the mods statements are.

Cat Scratch Fever was eliminated. She was a

mime

. It is now night 1, and will be so for 48 hours.

You are a

mime

.

At night, you can discuss the factional roleblock in this PT. You win when the mimes have been eliminated, but not killed. The game will end when you win. If a partner gets killed when you are still alive, you will also die and lose.

[mykonian]

And you yourself were then a young man, you
Would visit the plague-houses without fear,
Among the dead and dying all night through
You toiled, and lived to work among us here.

Demona, the

town doctor

has been killed.

You are a

town doctor

. Every night you can pm me the name of another player to protect them from nightkills.

You win with the town when all the threats to the town are eliminated.

It is now Day 2, for another 2 weeks. With 9 alive it's 5 to eliminate

But nobody was eliminated. It is now night 2, and will be so for 48 hours.

[mykonian]

In that blissful moment, then
I felt myself so small, so great:
Cruelly you hurled me back again,
Into Man’s uncertain state.

Phir, the

, has been killed.
Meuh, the

Mafia Demon

, has been killed.

You are a

mafia demon

. During the day, before the elimination, you must send me the name of a player, to offer them a bargain. You can update this as often as you like. They will be offered a power.

At night, you can discuss the nightkill in this PT. You win when the mafia are the only ones alive, or nothing can stop this from happening.

It is now day 3, with 7 alive, it is 4 to eliminate.

Town wins!

[mykonian]

Thank you for playing, I hope you had fun! I want to thank you for being a pretty amazing group of players. It was just a single replacement all the way at the start of the game, and very few prods were needed throughout. Mods dream of games like these! Of course, special thanks to MS's super sub, Enchant <3.

Spoiler: Setup:

Enchant - mafia goon
Meuh - mafia demon (Gives out watcher, mason in that order alternating, gives out vigs if it would benefit town on even/uneven grounds. Only gives watcher powers to mimes. Scum only knew the powers, not which would be given. Player accepting the power will not flip.)
Cat Scratch Fever - mime 1
Whemestar - mime 2
imaginality - angel (governor-vig)
Doctor Drew - (lonely) mason
demona - doctor
GrandpaMo - 1 shot BP
Greeting - VT
biancospino - VT
Phir - VT

Spoiler: Actions

D1/N1 actions: Meuh offers the deal to Greeting
Greeting accepted the bargain, and is watching Demona
Whemestar roleblocks Biancospino
Meuh kills Demona
Demona protects Meuh (oh dear)

results:

Greeting won't flip from now on.
Greeting recieves "You saw Meuh visit Demona"

d2/n2 actions: Meuh offers to whemestar
Imaginality will stop the next elimination.
Imaginality kills Meuh anyways
Meuh kills phir
Whemestar rbs doctor drew
Whemestar does not watch, rejects the bargain

n3 actions: Enchant no kills
Wheme rbs doctor drew

[mykonian]

"Only gives watcher powers to mimes."

Greeting is not mime.

sorry, I'm writing it in short hand there. This is the full role PM and mod notes:

You are a

mafia demon

. During the day,

before

the elimination, you

must

send me the name of a player not in the mafia, to offer them a bargain. This is a compulsive action. You can update this as often as you like. They will be offered the chance to join a masonhood, a one shot vig, or a one shot watcher randomly. If they accept and die afterwards by any means, you will collect their soul and their role will not flip (but you will be told what their role was).

At night, you can discuss the nightkill with your partner xxx in this PT. You cannot kill the same person that was offered a bargain. You win when the mafia are the only ones alive, or nothing can stop this from happening.

First action given will be a watcher, then masonhood, then watcher etc. Mimes will only be offered watchers. If the game is going into the night with an uneven number, a vig will be offered.

With the added note that I realized during the game that the intention of the vig giving doesn't work the same way with the angel. It would cause the day to become even. It didn't matter because it was given to a mime, but to a townie I should've given a masonhood membership.

[mykonian]

I don't think it was so desperate. I am not quite sure all town were quite aware today was.. I don't know the modern words for this. If they got it wrong today you'd have a shot at winning. You'd just need the one (and not shoot the BP the next night). It didn't pan out like that, they might have been on to you a little too much. I think there's a difference between losing and not playing to your wincon <3

My plan was basically to end up in 2vs2 and then vote mime, because mime will keep RBspamming me anyway.

Wheme was having the same issue, their game was hard. I think they were aware the path to victory was to get you to vote them, their play changed a bit from jester towards mafia through the game.

[mykonian]

I really thought I was a secret cult leader.

Apologies to the mod for calling them a liar repeatedly lol(just trying to get in the spirit of a bastard game).

I know what I signed up for when I made this a bastard game. It was well deserved On that note.. I imagine that leaves the question why this setup was in signups with so many warning notes. The mimes are bastard technically, but quite benign. The demon is really quite fair about the non flips, but I hoped it would just about enough to have people settle down, that they aren't scared something is going to screw them over the next moment. It's a bit of a smokescreen.

Spoiler: unused role pm's

This is a special role pm. You do not have the same alignment as your hydra partner. You are a

mafia goon

. Any night actions of other players will interact with you as a

mafia goon

.

At night, you can discuss the nightkill with your partner xxx in this PT. You win when the mafia (and your partner) are the only ones alive, or nothing can stop this from happening.

This is a special role pm. You do not have the same alignment as your hydra partner. You are a

mime

. Any night actions of other players will interact with you as a

mime

.

At night, you can discuss the factional roleblock with your partner xxx in this PT. You win when the mimes have both been eliminated, but not killed. The game will end when you win. If your partner gets killed when you are still alive, you will not post anymore and replace out of the game.

Had a hydra joined this game, they would have been given the scum slot (a second hydra would be the mime). If there were more I'd randomize. The hydra account would be given a VT role pm.

[mykonian]

will the mafia and mime threads be released?

If they are alright with it being in the open, I'll make them public. I imagine drew might not mind.

And yes, sorry Drew, you got unlucky and I felt like I had to hold you to the rules that would have been important earlier on, but by then didnt matter anymore. If the scum don't target a mime n2, you'd have had a partner.

[mykonian]

Mason: viewtopic.php?t=90998
Mafia: viewtopic.php?t=90996
Mime: viewtopic.php?t=90997

[mykonian]

Sure, but he can't know.

It was there because I tend to mirror town and scum PT usage. So that's info there. It is still way more powerful if you get to comment on every thing happen in thread and then having someone else join and being able to read your thoughts as they happened. And this was a bastard game, someone might have been reading along. It might all have meant something.

So I knew it didn't matter anymore, but if the game was different it might have. So the rules had to be upheld, even though it was pretty pointless.
