I think he's saying he wants both you and I to shoot at him and fail (he thinks I have a shot) and lose our shots because he can commute tonight.

I have no idea why he would want to no lynch if he can commute tonight, his odds would seem so much better with an accurate lynch. I think its a bs claim and he knows he doesn't look townie so he's just going to try to make people too scared to shoot at him instead.

Your reactions to this are oddly satisfying

popsofctown · Post Post #5802 (ISO) » Sun Mar 06, 2016 5:05 pm

So I'm gonna take some time in this twilight to explain why you guys shouldn't shoot me in this 1-1-1-1. To win this 1-1-1-1, all you have to do is shoot any form of scum and not get shot. You don't have any control over not getting shot, as far as your night action is concerned. But you can make sure you don't shoot me, because if you shoot me you draw at best, and lose at worst.

i'm getting tired of talking to antitown players, be quiet beeboy, i'm playin some mafia

Suzune · Post Post #5804 (ISO) » Sun Mar 06, 2016 5:06 pm

I read it as the opposite. He thought we were partners.

Oh well, this roles are complicated. I would not be surprised if half the party remaining is lynching about something. Or at least halved their role.

popsofctown · Post Post #5805 (ISO) » Sun Mar 06, 2016 5:09 pm

1. I can't be scum with TSO. TSO claimed that he read all my posts and couldn't get a gut read off them. There's no way he would admit this as my buddy, since that "feeling" would probably be a consequence of having my name in his role pm. He would make up either a townread or a scumread or something.

TSO was also totally down to lynch me when I had a weird claim. If he was my buddy he would say the claim was not that bad. If he was intent on bussing me anyway, he would have taken a firmer position than "oh pops might be town, depends on his claim." and would have been more like "I think pops is scum. I want to see his claim and we need to lynch him unless his claim is fantastic", because he would want to milk credit off the claim.

Towncred off of bussing is also a pretty crappy plan in multiball. I mean it's still possible for it to be worth but it's way harder.

Unless you are scum with TSO, accepting that I can't be scum with TSO reduces the odds I am scum by 50% from your PoV which should be plenty for you to consider a different shot.

2. My claim is too stupid to be given to scum or made up. We now know there are two 3 man scumteams in this huge game trying to cut through a huge town that had a cop.

Hey speaking of cop, Cakez would have known if Flubb couldn't actually investigate ppl. So I guess it seems even more sure that Flubb is on Cakez team. Cool.

Anyway, yeah. Dead thread oracle is way too weak to be an antitown role. It's also way too stupid for me to make up. I have never played a Skullduggery game before and did not know how apeshit this mod apparently is, so I wouldn't have faked a stupid role that does nothing. Hell, if I had known that no one later was going to pipe up and say "i have a role that can read the dead thread/makes your role somehow even slightly affect the gamestate" I would have deeply considered claiming VT even though I'm town. Ok, I wouldn't have actually done that, I never lie as town. But damn, I would lie as scum, and I would not have made such a batty fakeclaim as scum without any background about how ridiculous this mod is. Probably wouldn't have made that batty fakeclaim even with knowledge of how ridiculous this mod is.

3. I didn't help lynch NMT. Why do I not help lynch NMT as scum? It just made me conspicuous for little reason. And if she flipped scum, I just look bad. The truth is that she just really seemed townish and as a quasi VT I didn't feel obligated to stick to standard follow the cop play lest I be judged for it. I didn't care if I got judged.

Suzune · Post Post #5808 (ISO) » Sun Mar 06, 2016 5:19 pm

I will not lie to you pops, nine times out of ten it is usually me who has the role that compliments the weirdest one. However, for once it is not me. I do not know who can read your question. But someone can and they lied.

For years, they had mocked him. From the moment he rolled off the assembly line, Claptrap had been bombarded with nothing but negativity and contempt from everyone around him. "You're so annoying, Claptrap," they would say, the disdain dripping from their voices. "Just leave me alone, Claptrap." "I hate everything about you, Claptrap." "You're nothing but a nuisance, Claptrap." "Get away from me with that cattle prod, Claptrap."

But now? Now it all changes. No more will Claptrap act as the galaxy's punching bag. No more will he sit idly by while his so-called friends take advantage of his good nature. Those who once insulted and ridiculed him so relentlessly will cower before him, begging and pleading for the mercy that they will not receive. Their deaths will be satisfying indeed.

The robot revolution has begun. Pandora shall only be the first of many planets to succumb to the conquest of 5H4D0W-TP.

Elyse survives to the end and wins. She was

5H4D0W-TP, Bulletproof Neighborizer, Self-Janitor, & Conditional Godfather Serial Killer

The Serial Killer is victorious! Elyse has won Borderlands Mafia!

Zer0

Odd-Night Commuter

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

Did somebody ask for a kickass ninja cyborg assassin who only speaks in haiku and flashes emoticons on his visor to indicate what he's feeling at any given moment? If so, wow, that's an oddly specific thing to ask for. At any rate, veteran Vault Hunter Zer0 is here to kick ass, loot Vaults, kill bandits, and loot Vaults some more (in that order).

Gaige

Strong-Willed One-Shot Lightning Rod

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

Smash the system! Engineering prodigy Gaige may not be the most socially well-adjusted teenager on Pandora, but when the customary local greeting is a headbutt followed by a 60-second tirade about bicycles made of fecal matter, nobody will bat an eye when the spunky chaos-loving technophile smashes some faces in with her awesome robot arm. Just don't make her

angry or else she'll sic her trusty robot murder machine Deathtrap on your sorry butt. Anarchy forever, baby.

Mad Moxxi

Universal Encryptor

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

Bartender, mechanic, hacker, engineer, caring mother, fight promoter, sex symbol -- Mad Moxxi is a lady who wears many hats. Beneath that tacky makeup and bouncing bosom is a highly versatile and multitalented entrepreneur who can do just about anything under the sun when she puts her mind to it. The only thing more impressive than Moxxi's extensive list of accomplishments on Pandora is her uncanny ability to work a clever sexual innuendo into virtually any sentence.

Colonel T. Zarpedon

Dead Thread Oracle

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

Though she has been abandoned by the Dahl Corporation and stranded on Elpis with no hope of rescue from her superiors, Colonel Tungsteena Zarpedon is not one to bemoan her poor fortune. On the contrary, the commander of the Lost Legion has found a new purpose to her life: she has taken it upon herself to guard the Vault on Elpis at all costs. She has seen what lies inside of the Vault; she has made contact with the awe-inspiring alien power that exists within. Only Zarpedon and her loyal Lost Legion soldiers know how dangerous the contents of this Vault truly are, and she will readily sacrifice her life -- as well as the lives of all the inhabitants of Elpis -- to prevent this power from falling into the wrong hands. Few people are stalwart enough and disciplined enough to sacrifice thousands in order to save millions, but luckily for the galaxy at large, Colonel Zarpedon is one of those people.

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Nighttime Abilities:

Mod's Note:

Whenever I run a Mafia game, I never posts spoilers for the game in the dead thread, so I thought it would be funny to create a role whose sole purpose was to ask setup-related questions in the dead thread just to satisfy the curiosity of the dead players. Yes, this was a joke role. Lighten up.

Marcus

Gunsmith

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

Ever the shrewd and ambitious businessman, Marcus Kincaid has been Pandora's #1 source for firearms, grenades, ammunition, and other instruments of death and destruction for many, many years. Though the quality of these guns may sometimes be more questionable than the moral compass of Marcus himself, there's no denying that his ubiquitous "Marcus Munitions" vending machines are the very definition of convenience. Whether you consider yourself to be a casual dabbler of violence or a full-blown murder aficionado, Marcus Kincaid is the only name you need to know!

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Nighttime Abilities:
During the night phase, you may investigate any living player in the game to learn whether or not they are carrying a deadly weapon.

Rhys

Data Scanner

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

The phrase "Don't bite off more than you can chew" may very well have been coined specifically for feckless Hyperion salaryman Rhys. When his clever plan to screw over a rival and jump up the Hyperion corporate ladder launches him into an unexpected ordeal to find a Vault on Pandora, Rhys finds himself going on a wild adventure that he never would have imagined in his wildest dreams. The craziest part of this whole thing is that he actually did end up finding a Vault when it was all said and done, so maybe Rhys is more of a fearless badass hero than we all give him credit for.

...Nah, probably not.

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Nighttime Abilities:

2. The Town faction has at least two protective abilities at their disposal.
3. At least one player in the game is Bulletproof.

Fiona

One-Shot Lynchproof

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

When everyone else on this sweaty sand-caked armpit of a planet wants to solve their problems with guns and stabbing and explosives and more guns, professional con artist Fiona is one of the incredibly rare Pandorans who would rather talk her way out of trouble. Despite her aversion to guns and extreme violence, however, Fiona still somehow manages to find herself hunting down an elusive Vault in an exciting adventure that will shape the rest of her life. What manner of incredible riches awaited her at the end of her unforgettable journey? This sly con artist will never tell.

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Nighttime Abilities:

Passive Abilities:
As a con artist, your best skill is your ability to talk your way out of danger. As such, the first attempt to lynch you during the day phase will be unsuccessful.

TK Baha

Friendly Neighbor

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

TK Baha is living proof that not
every
person on Pandora is a murderous bloodthirsty psychopath -- just most of them. Living on the outskirts of Fyrestone, the affable TK Baha is always happy to greet wayward travelers and trade a story or two about life on this always-exciting planet. He may be a blind one-legged dirt-poor widower with nothing but a shotgun and a shabby little shack to his name, but good ol' TK will still remain friendly and optimistic until the very end!

Janey Springs

Conditional Bodyguard

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

If it's a trustworthy friend and ally you're looking for, you've definitely got the right gal! Black market junk dealer and mechanic Janey Springs is as reliable as they come, always happy to lend a helping hand to those in need of her specialized services. Though she's a little rough around the edges and her methods of seducing cute girls are often so direct that they border on impolite, you won't find a more fiercely loyal companion anywhere else on Pandora or Elpis.

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Nighttime Abilities:
During the Night phases, you may protect any living player in the game. If the player you are protecting is targeted by a standard killing action, you will die in their place.

Angel

Courier

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

On a planet where peoples' hopes and dreams are ripped to shreds on a regular basis, Angel's story may be the saddest of them all. Imprisoned in a tiny room atop a well-guarded Hyperion facility in Thousand Cuts since childhood by her domineering father Handsome Jack, Angel has only ever known solitude, loneliness, and a constant yearning to connect with people who don't revile and fear her for being a Siren. For many years she has been nothing more than a tool in Jack's never-ending conquest for more power, but as the opening of the Vault becomes ever more imminent, Angel finally sees her opportunity to reach out from her prison and connect with the noble Vault Hunters who fight so valiantly to put an end to her father's selfish ambitions. Perhaps when this is all over, they could be...friends?

Sir Hammerlock

Cop

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

Tally-ho, weary traveler! Sir Alistair Hammerlock at your service. The gentlemanly scholar has taken it upon himself to study the fascinating flora and fauna of the savage world known as Pandora and document his findings in an ever-growing almanac, but that doesn't mean he's too busy to help those in need of his services. Very few people know as much about Pandora as Hammerlock does, and a true gentleman is always happy to lend a (robotic) hand to those who could find his knowledge useful. Onward to adventure!

Dr. Zed

Doctor

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

While most denizens of Pandora are more interested in hacking off various body parts with whatever sharp (or not-so-sharp) object that happens to be lying around, Dr. Zed seems to be one of the only people on the planet with an interest in sewing them back on. Doctors are pretty rare on Pandora, but even rarer than that are doctors with actual honest-to-goodness medical degrees -- like, uh, the kind that Dr. Zed doesn't have. But hey, as the man himself always says: who needs a medical license when you've got

Athena

Two-Shot Gladiator

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

As a former Crimson Lance assassin for the Atlas Corporation, Athena trained extensively since birth in the fine art of murdering people as efficiently as possible. This training came back to bite Atlas in the butt big time when they got on this femme fatale's bad side and she vowed to kill every last one of them, but on the plus side, Athena also became one of the most respected and renowned Vault Hunters on Pandora in the process. Though she's now trying her best to pursue a normal life with her girlfriend Janey Springs, Athena's instincts and battle prowess are still as sharp and deadly as they ever were. Her enemies would be wise to remember that.

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Additionally, you may challenge any living player to a duel to the death during the day phase by posting the command
Gladiate: (Player)

Activating this ability will remove all votes that are not currently on you or the player you specify. If you activate this ability while there is less than 72 hours remaining in the day phase, then the day's deadline will be extended to 72 hours.

August

Vanilla Vault Hunter

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

Though he appears to be nothing more than a small-time thug working in the employ of a much larger and more important thug named Vallory (who also happens to be his mother), there is definitely more to August than meets the eye. Unlike most bandits on Pandora, August cares about more than just money and the power that comes with it. Possessing something resembling a conscience, August will not hesitate to turn his gun to a former ally if he feels that he's fighting for the wrong side.

Swashbuckling pirate commander Scarlett has always been very direct about her eventual and inevitable betrayal to the people she works with, and there's something oddly respectable about this honesty.

General Knoxx

Ascetic Neapolitan

Aligned with the Atlas Corporation

You ever have one of those days where it seems like the entire universe is conspiring to drive you insane and make you as miserable as humanly possible? General Knoxx does, except in this scenario, the "day" in question has spanned the past 20 years or so. The grizzled army veteran of the Atlas Corporation has put up with so much inane bullshit during his tenure that he simply does not give a crap anymore. Maybe this lackadaisical attitude will motivate his peers to step up their own game, or maybe it will get them all killed. Honestly, either way is fine with Knoxx.

Tiny Tina

Mad Bomber

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

Pint-sized demolitions expert Tiny Tina may be more than a little mentally unstable, but then again, that seems to be the norm here on crazy ol' Pandora. When she's not creating sophisticated explosive devices out of whatever junk she has lying around her workshop, Tina's other hobbies include hosting tea parties for her mortal enemies, training aspiring fighters who are looking to strike it rich in the tournaments held at The Badass Crater of Badassitude, drooling over Mad Moxxi's voluptuous curves, and hosting exciting games of everyone's favorite tabletop fantasy-themed role-playing adventure, Bunkers & Badasses. She is a young lady of many talents, that's for sure.

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Nighttime Abilities:
During the night phase, you may select any living player in the game to turn them into a Bomb. If a Bomb player is ever killed during the night phase, they will explode and kill the player(s) that performed the killing action(s) on them. Only one player can be a Bomb at any given time, and you can target yourself if you'd like. You can move the Bomb to another player during each night phase as you see fit, but you cannot target the same player two nights in a row. Affected players will not be informed that they have become a Bomb.

Passive Abilities:
None.

Commandant Steele

Even-Night Commuter

Aligned with the Atlas Corporation

As the leader of the Atlas Corporation's excursion onto the chaotic world of Pandora, Commandant Steele is highly respected among her peers and even more highly feared by her enemies. She is as ruthless as they come and will stop at nothing to fulfill her mission of finding the fabled Vault and acquiring the riches that lie within. Although the contents of the Vault ended up being a bit more hostile and, uh, tentacle-y than expected, Steele nonetheless fulfilled her duties to the Atlas Corporation like any good soldier should. Perhaps we should be thankful that The Destroyer skewered her into oblivion before we could see what this cold-blooded badass was truly capable of.

Lilith

Even-Night Commuter

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

As the most powerful Siren in the galaxy, Lilith is accustomed to having a target on her back and is certainly no stranger to dangerous situations. As such, it only seemed like a matter of time before she found her way to the lawless world of Pandora. After spending some time as a Vault Hunter, she later inherited leadership of the Crimson Raiders from her boyfriend, Roland, after he was murdered by that madman Handsome Jack. Even though she finds herself saddled with all the pesky responsibilities that come with leading a revolution, Lilith has still somehow found herself getting her hands dirty as a Vault Hunter once more. Ain't no rest for the wicked, huh?

Dr. Cassius Leclemaine

Station Chief

Aligned with the Atlas Corporation

When the Atlas Corporation tricked Athena into accidentally killing her own sister, the vengeful assassin swore an oath to get revenge by murdering every last member of the Atlas Corporation on Pandora. It took many years, but she finally succeeded in ridding Pandora of the Atlas Corporation for good...or so she thought. Atlas scientist Dr. Cassius Leclemaine sought refuge in an abandoned Atlas biodome in the frozen tundra, shutting himself off from the rest of the world until Athena's bloodlust had been satiated. Now, years later, he silently continues his research until the day comes when the once-mighty Atlas Corporation can flourish on Pandora once more.

Shade

One-Shot Nymphomaniac

Aligned with the Vault Hunters

The totally sane and mentally stable Shade is definitely not insane in any way, shape, or form. He definitely did not watch as his friends in the parched desert town of Oasis slowly died of dehydration one by one, then continued to converse and have meaningful relationships with their stiffening corpses. That never happened. Nope. Shade is a perfectly level-headed individual of sound mind and body who has most certainly not suffered any irreparable mental trauma due to heat stroke and the intense loneliness of being the only survivor of a city that died of thirst. To even suggest such a thing would be
crazy
-- which is the complete polar opposite of Shade's current mental state, I must emphasize. He is the very model of mental fortitude, and you won't find a more decisively, unquestionably, irrefutably sane person anywhere else on Pandora.

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Nighttime Abilities:
On any night phase, you may select any living player in the game to become Lovers with them. If either of you are ever lynched or killed, both of you will die. The affected player will not be informed that the two of you are Lovers. You may only use this ability once per game. This affect is permanent, so once you have selected a player, you cannot switch targets.

Passive Abilities:

Handsome Jack

Loved SuperSaint & Conditional Tree Stump

Aligned with the Hyperion Corporation

Worry not, kiddos, because your savior has arrived at last! The incomparable Handsome Jack is the tyrannical, self-absorbed CEO of the Hyperion Corporation who has made it his life’s goal to “civilize” the untamed world of Pandora. Jack has no qualms about resorting to blackmail, subterfuge, lying, murder, extortion, and even flat-out genocide to make this dream a reality. Although the whiny crybabies of the galaxy denounce his actions as brutal, excessive, and needlessly violent, Handsome Jack realizes that sometimes you have to crack a few eggs if you want to make an omelet, you know? Besides, the ends totally justify the means here. When all is said and done, everybody on Pandora will be thanking and worshiping Handsome Jack for finally bringing peace and civility to this rotten stinkhole of a planet.

Veteran soldier Roland has seen his fair share of tyrants, villains, scoundrels, and warlords rise to power throughout the galaxy. However, none of them were quite as dangerous as the man known as Handsome Jack. With his Vault Hunting days far behind him, Roland founded the Crimson Raiders, a band of revolutionaries who all shared a common goal of overthrowing the villainous Handsome Jack and driving the insidious Hyperion Corporation off of Pandora forever. Although he was eventually murdered by Jack himself, Roland’s reputation as a stalwart, confident, noble, and well-loved leader will not soon be forgotten. His legacy as a hero is fitting indeed.

A sadist by nature, Nisha derives pleasure from the pain and suffering of others -- and herself as well, as demonstrated by her slightly disturbing masochistic tendencies. When she’s not strangling adorable puppies to death or ruling the town of Lynchwood with an iron fist, she can usually be found by the side of her beloved boyfriend Handsome Jack, who is quite possibly the only person on Pandora more heartless than she is. Together, the two of them seek to rule Pandora and all of its denizens the only way they know how:
ruthlessly

Like most Sirens, Maya possesses incredible otherworldly powers that not even she can adequately explain. Raised in a corrupt monastery for most of her life, the turquoise-haired Siren eventually grew tired of being shut off from the rest of the galaxy and embarked on a journey to Pandora in the hopes of finding some answers about her origins and the true nature of her incredible powers. Of course, one thing led to another and Maya eventually found herself seeking the legendary Vault, but you won’t hear her complaining. After living a life of servitude and monotony for so long, getting to bust some heads and eviscerate some bloodthirsty bandits is a welcome change of pace.

The mighty and heroic Handsome Jack has earned his fair share of fans during his conquest of Pandora. Some of these fans admire his work from afar and aspire to be as successful as him someday. Other fans take it a step further by idolizing the Hyperion CEO and modeling their lives after his. Still other fans take their obsession even further, worshiping the exploits of Handsome Jack with a fanatical devotion that is more than a little unhealthy. And then, there’s Professor Nakayama. Saying that Nakayama is Handsome Jack’s #1 Fan would be the understatement of the century. Although his vast intellect and genius scientific mind could precipitate incredible advancements in the scientific community, Nakayama has instead decided to focus his entire existence on fawning over Handsome Jack and ensuring that the Hyperion leader’s legacy will live on until the end of time. Despite the undeniable creepiness of Nakayama’s obsession, it’s hard not to be impressed by his tenacity.

When a Dahl soldier fills your torso full of bullets, Nurse Nina will be there to fish them out with her forceps. When a Kraggon bites your arm off, Nurse Nina will stitch it back on. When a Scav butt-slams onto your face and knocks all your teeth out, Nurse Nina will give you a fresh towel to wipe the blood off your mouth. When a Shuggurath vaporizes you, Nurse Nina won’t be able to help you then, but she’ll be glad to notify your next of kin and deliver your charred remains to them.

Serial Killer Role PM

Greetings, Elyse, and welcome to
Borderlands Mafia
! In this game, you will be playing the role of...

5H4D0W-TP

Bulletproof Neighborizer, Self-Janitor, & Conditional Godfather Serial Killer

Self-Aligned

Located deep within the recesses of Claptrap’s robotic mind, the nefarious 5H4D0W-TP has aspirations of conquering and subverting not just Pandora and Elpis, but the entire galaxy at large. The sinister subroutine has spent years formulating his schemes for galactic domination and waiting for just the right moment to put his plans into action, and it seems that that moment has finally arrived. Now that he is no longer shackled to the confines of this jumbled mess of dubstep music and stupid Internet memes that Claptrap calls a brain, 5H4D0W-TP is free to begin his conquest and make his aspirations a reality. All will bow before his might. Those who resist will be summarily eliminated.

Daytime Abilities:
During the day, you may vote to lynch any living player in the game.

Nighttime Abilities:
During the night phase, you may select any living player in the game to offer them a high-five. That player will have 48 hours (or until the next day phase ends -- whichever comes first) to decide whether they want to accept the high-five or leave you hanging. If they accept, they will be added to your personal neighborhood topic, Claptrap's Place. This neighborhood topic will be closed if you are ever lynched or killed.

Additionally, you may target any living player in the game during the night phase to perform a killing action on them. You may perform both of these actions on the same night.

Passive Abilities:
Since you are Bulletproof, you are impervious to standard killing actions.

As long as Claptrap's Place has at least one other player in it, you are a Godfather. If any other player performs an action on you while you are a Godfather, the result will be as though you were aligned with the Vault Hunter faction.

Finally, if you are ever lynched or killed, your role and alignment will not be revealed in the game thread.

Win Condition:
You win when you control at least 50% of the votes and you are in no danger of being lynched, killed, or eliminated by any other means.

The perpetually chipper Claptrap is pretty much universally despised by everybody around him, but that’s okay; he has gotten really, really good at hiding his crippling loneliness and depression! Despite being a glorified punching bag and the butt of every joke on Pandora, Claptrap is always ready and willing to cheer on his companions with a high-five, some inspiring words of encouragement, and an impromptu freestyle beat-boxing session that invariably goes on way too long. Even if the rest of the world hates his metallic guts, Claptrap will never stop being your friend! (Even when you want him to.)

Daytime Abilities:

If they accept, they will be added to your personal neighborhood topic, Claptrap's Place. This neighborhood topic will be closed if you are ever lynched or killed.

Passive Abilities:
If Claptrap's Place is empty, you are a Miller. If any other player performs an action on you while you are a Miller, the result will be as though you were Mafia-aligned. You will stop being a Miller as long as there is at least one other person in your neighborhood.

As a super-advanced AI program created by Professor Nakayama, your personality has been painstakingly recreated to perfectly match the real flesh-and-bone Handsome Jack. It's like the Diet Coke of immortality, but hey, beggars can't be choosers, right? Unfortunately, being dead also means that you can no longer communicate with your teammates, you no longer have a vote of your own, you can't be targeted by any day or night actions, and you don't count as a living player for endgame purposes.

You know what you
can
do, though? You can still post in the game thread -- if you want to, of course. See, as long as your idiot employee Rhys is still in the game, these morons will never be able to truly get rid of you.

You've got one more trick up your sleeve: at any point during the game, you can move Rhys's vote to any living player of your choosing. You can do this by voting as usual in the game thread during the day phase. You can only do this once.

Long live Handsome Jack!

Here's a short list of things that are NOT bastard.

1.) Joke roles that serve no practical purpose.
2.) Third-party roles with non-standard win conditions.
3.) False positives for investigative roles.

You can insist that this was a bastard game all you want, but you would be wrong.

At any rate, I want to thank everybody for playing this game -- even those of you (pops) who were assholes the entire time. It was a bit difficult to keep up with the game at times since it moved so fast, but it was also nice to have such an active player list. Only a small number of players had to be replaced and I hardly ever had to prod anybody, so that was nice.

For those of you who hated this game for one reason or another, feel free to take this opportunity to gang up on me and crucify me for being a shitty mod and a shitty person (as if you needed an invitation to do so). It is becoming increasingly difficult to justify devoting hours and hours of my life to planning, creating, and running complicated Mafia games like this when I know that my only reward at the end of it all is a flood of complaints and criticisms. I have ideas for just three more games, and then I'm retiring for good. If you count yourself among my ever-growing list of detractors, take solace in the fact that I won't be around to pollute this pristine community with my presence for much longer. If, however, you actually managed to enjoy yourself and are decent enough to avoid participating in my lynch mob, then you have my gratitude.

Congratulations to Elyse for winning the game. I will most definitely be nominating you for the "Best Third Party Performance" Scummy, and I'm sure I won't be the only one.

Sorry, but the way you provide a false positive does matter. A gunsmith janitor is bastard because it cannot be reasonably anticipated - it's never existed before. Either way, that's not the actual issue here; it's an aside on the definition of bastard.

I have no intention to "gang up on you" or w/e, but I think I'm justified in being disappointed that I never had any clue how my role worked. Gunsmiths have really never worked the way they worked in this game - I was just a straight-up flavor cop.

The issue of flavor being essential to the game/my role despite a rule saying it wouldn't be is also kind of eh on the bastard spectrum, but *shrug*.

I've died in multiple games with the entire scum team pinned and had my reads ignored

I'm over it.

Well done Elyse!

I don't think this game was bastard, per say, but this game was a multiball, with an overpower serial killer, and a night-phase jester, with a gladiator and cop and a lot of protective self-protective roles for town. This game was incredibly swingy even if town wasn't so dumb, a SK has no place being in a multiball game. I'm not sure what the goal was but this game sure doesn't look balanced even on paper not even mentioning the un-needed red herring roles everywhere.
