Mafia 104 - Revenge of the Crimson King - Game!

[SpyreX]

Tarhalindur,

Town Prison Guard

, has been lynched.

You have 72 hours from this post.

[Wickedestjr]

Well, that was one fast day. (Raivann hammered)

I have to say, Socrates reads on me are extremely inconsistent. First he said he thought I was Jupiter. Then he said he thought I was town. Then he voted me. What's the deal?

Concerning the setup, there is an sk and two mafia. No more mafia, because that would mean xRx would have to be mafia, which I doubt. That means Socrates, Tar, and Raivann are all scum, but only one of them is the SK. Raivann's quickhammer without any content looks to me like mafia trying to hit the SK, which might mean Socrates is his buddy. If that is the case we lose, so I have to assume otherwise and guess that Tar is mafia. That means Raivann probably is SK since Tar would've bussed his buddy really hard, and that leaves Socrates as a partner.

So my thoughts on the setup:

Jupiter Mafia: Tar, Socrates
SK: Raivann

[xRECKONERx]

Well, that was one fast day. (Raivann hammered)

Tarhalindur,

Town Prison Guard

, has been lynched.

Jupiter Mafia: Tar, Socrates

[xRECKONERx]

Whoops, sorry, forgot not to post during night.

:-X

[SpyreX]

Socrates,

Town Villager

, has been shot in the head.
Raivann,

Jupiter Mafia Doctor

, has been brutally murdered.

With that, the bulletproof darkness envelops wickedestjr,

Jupiter Mafia Goon

, who was end-gamed.

xRECKONERx,

The Crimson King

, has won the game!

[VP Baltar]

Oh hay everybody. Reck was the SK and Raivann was scum that was supposed to be lynched like 50 days ago.

That was ridiculous.

[Socrates]

WTF?

So there was inconsistant versions of investigation immune in a game where the only investigative ability was a one shot? That's rediculous.

[DocPotter]

In the graveyard QT, Glork made mention of xREC's first two posts at the start of D3 outing him as an SK. Anyone spot that and think the same? He got the number of mafia killed wrong, twice.

That was a lot of fun. Even running afoul of Balt/Amished was fun in a way.
Educational too

Sorry I don't have as much to say as I'd like to, considering how late I jumped in.

Mostly this is testament to balancing a read versus an investigation result from both sides.

[Socrates]

I failed SO hard this game. I mean, I championed three townie lynches in a row while defending one scumbag from a lynch while calling the other one town.

If I ever feel that my ego is starting to get too big, I shall just re-read the last 2 days of this game.

I feel this would have been a MUCH different game if Muh didn't get mod killed. At least that would have meant that Raivann would be lynched instead.

Also, what was up with the inconsistant NK flavor? And can we see the Serial Killer role PM? I am still frustrated about how Reck got False confirmed.

[xRECKONERx]

O_O I won?

Yeah. About the time I PMed SpyreX and asked if I would win in an endgame where I was the only NK-immune against another mafioso and he said yes, I knew I had to get Tarhalindur lynched, and then I'd have a 2/3 chance of hitting scum, and scum would undoubtedly kill the last townie.

I was inv-immune and NK-immune... which made my bulletproof claim mesh quite nicely with muh's investigation. And I gotta admit... that was some lucky shit. I actually was hoping I could draw an investigation from someone, and it saved my ass in the end.

I also gotta admit, the scum played a decent game. Especially Pads, who I feel was the MVP of the scumteam. Even for them to have had Exalt get modkilled and MonkeyMan get tracked that early on... they somehow still stopped the Raivann lynch from going through, Pads played an excellent game, and Wicked actually had me convinced he was town.

Any comments on my play would be awesome... this is my win I'm most proud of, since it was a SK win.

[xRECKONERx]

You are the

Crimson King, Compulsive Serial Killer

Once, you were one of the passengers on Engine 23. Now you have been possessed by a powerful evil, the Crimson King. With your dark powers, you plan on slaughtering all the fools on this train and begin your new conquest of the world. Your power is great but your shell is still mortal...if you are lynched, you will be sent back to the Underworld. Best to make sure no one suspects you before then...

You win when you are the only player alive and nothing can prevent this from happening.

Abilities:

Compulsive Murder:

Every night, you must choose one player to kill. Barring any external circumstances, this player will die. If you do not choose a target, your target will be randomized for you. Your kill flavor is "brutally murdered".

Bulletproof:

Any attempts to kill you will not resolve.

Anti-Miller:

Any conventional attempts to investigate you will come up with an innocent result.

Confirm via PM

I give you a role PM and raise you a scum QT.

I wish Seraphim had stuck around, I woulda liked to see his endgame flavor. That being said, big thanks to BOTH Xyl and SpyreX for stepping up and letting this game run its course.

[DocPotter]

Yeah. I'd love to see the scum QT, especially around the Exalt and MM times.

xRECKONERx (SK): kill Snow_Bunny
Glork (Vig): kill Snow_Bunny (fails, Glork is jailed)

Whoa.

[VP Baltar]

Oh cool, so we never actually died but were killed anyway? Nice.

[Pads]

I don't recall a moment in my life where my jaw actually dropped, but Reckoner as the SK certainly did it.

And the realization that he went unchallenged for the last half of the game was a good bit my own fault hits even harder. I reasoned that he couldn't be the SK without the SK having an investigation ability that was clearly superior to the dead Godfather's. But then I dismissed it as unlikely. Alas.

Obviously, the early game was pretty disastrous for us. I made sure to distance myself from Wicked, in case one of us was caught, the other might be okay. Kise correctly read MonkeyMan's interactions with my attack on him(MM), although I don't think it was me who wanted to shoot Kise a few days later (I might be remembering wrong). He was lurky enough that I didn't feel I needed to worry about him.

I thought Wicked played well, and I have to admit, Raivann's ability to post like he did and not get lynched was a great source of amusement for me. Especially considering how active and verbose he was in the scumchat. I think I mentioned at one point that he had earned himself a licence to be scummy.

I think the town was hurt not just by inactivity, but an unwillingness to meaningfully challenge the inactive. The scum were hurt by a disastrous opening. And we were both utterly wrecked by the Anti-Miller ability. But that's how the cookie crumbles.

Grats on the win, Reckoner, you definitely deserve it. You had me, and presumably others, convinced that you were a flailing, desperate townie. Good jobs go out to Merk, Glork, RayFrost, Tar, Socrates, and Wicked. And, one more for Raivann, since after seeing the scum QT, I gotta think he was repressing the urge to post a lot more than he did.

Thanks for coming in and letting us finish the game, SpyreX. Someone go delete Seraphim's account, please.


Oh, and the kill flavors were dependant upon the killer. The goons used a gun, the doc drained blood. Told ya so :p

[Wickedestjr]

Wow! This was an awesome game. Congratulations xRx! You played a great game. Even if you hadn't been supposedly confirmed town, you probably still would've fooled me. For now on, I'm going to be more cautious when dealing with "confirmed town".

As my first game with this allignment, I was a bit frightened. I didn't want to screw up because it was the only game out of ten games in which I had recieved a scum role pm. Eight pages into the game with town already having figured out two of my buddies, I thought Jupiters were screwed. Fortunately, I think the bussing worked because I seemed to fly under the radar the first few days. Day 5 the blood loss kill actually convinced me that there was another group so I actually started scumhunting and came up with some points to help push the RBT lynch. Then day 6, I realized we were doing well and I gained confidence, but I also realized that I was being extremely unhelpful for a townie so I brought up the points against Pads. I feel like I didn't actually bring up much good posting until then, because I thought it would be difficult until I actually gave it a shot.

I really enjoyed playing with my buddies though. Pads especially because he played very well. I'm looking forward to playing with most of the people in this game in the future.

I am glad that my first game as scum I died due to being endgamed.

BTW, I am also amused with Raivann. He nearly died day 4, and made it all the way to the end anyway. That wasn't because of me, it was either Pads or we were lucky.

Thanks to Xyl and to SpyreX, I would've hated to end this game without seeing who won.

[Wickedestjr]

BTW,

It was my idea to kill Kise. He seemed to be the biggest threat.

Thanks to Percy also! It was nice to have a good player covering for me temporarily.

Also, we got extremely lucky with the Glork kill. We killed him because of the Snow_Bunny kill which wasn't actually him, but he targetted Snow_Bunny anyway.

[xRECKONERx]

Wicked, holy shit, you were killing it strategy-wise in that scumchat!

That was a very entertaining scumchat to read, and you guys worked together quite well, kudos. I felt kinda bad for you guys when you were all "We got this! We win as long as Socrates isn't NK-immune!". Haha.

[xRECKONERx]

PS, any Scummy 2010 nominators out there that wanna give me a bump for my SK performance in this game... I'd be much obliged.

[danakillsu]

All I can say is....wow. I was right that xRECK wasn't town. Way to go guys. That's gonna hurt my record. And xRECK, you're the best SK ever in my book.

[xRECKONERx]

I doubt I'm the best SK ever. But thanks, dana

[Raivann]

Ugh, If I would have just protected Pads instead of Wicked we woulda won,

Well played xRx!
