Mini 1784: Mafia Z – Game Over

[zakk]

MINI 1784 — MAFIA Z — GAME OVER

RULES

1.
 I am zakk. I am the mod. I spent a while making this game fun, so please, respect that.

2.
 All of the site-wide rules apply, so please read up on those and be familiar with them.

3.
 Any discussion of role PMs in whole or in part will result in modkill and blacklisting.

4.
 Votes must be 
bolded
 or in 
VOTE: 
 tags, and on their own line. Unvoting isn't required.

5.
 Day phase will last for three weeks, and night phase will last 72 hours (more or less).

6.
 The lynch threshold is vote majority (i.e. 2/3, 3/4, 3/5, 4/6, 4/7, 5/8, 5/9, or 6/10).

7.
 This is a pretty small game so I shouldn't have to issue any prods. That would be lame.

8.
 Don't communicate about the game elsewhere unless your role specifically allows you to.

9.
 These rules might change at any time. You *will* be informed if there is a rule change.

10.
 Bah posts. Don't do them. Don't speak in the thread unless you are explicitly allowed.

11. Things may get tense, but please do not do anything with the intent of being a douche.

A lynch has been reached.

And with exactly zero hustle and bustle, the town of

District Z

got off to a roaring start, pointing fingers and accusing each other wildly. The argument turned into a brawl, the brawl turned into a street fight, and suddenly someone pulled out a gun and shot chilledtea in the face. He fell to the ground, clutching his chest, mouth frozen open... eyes searching for the gaze of each separate person now standing around him, but not with desperate pleading. With hate and disdain... With anger. His mouth formed a curse... but his life left him before it escaped his dying gasp. His eyes rolled back into his head and he lay silently. And just like that, he was gone.

END OF NIGHT ONE

A loud booming noise, followed by a bloodcurdling howl of surprise and pain, wakes every single citizen of

District Z

. They rush from their houses to find a dead body in the town square, with traces of foam around its mouth, and its chest blown wide open by what appears to be a sawed-off shotgun blast. It's terrifying claws are bloody, and its gaping maw hangs open, revealing multiple rows of razor sharp teeth.

Suddenly, the sleepy town is awake and abuzz; shouting and gasps of horror fill the streets.

A lynch has been reached.

The town crowded around Dystopian Vision like a colony of ants around a sugar cube.

"It's not us!" they growled, pacing restlessly within the small circle of townspeople, trying to appear agitated at their incorrectness. "We aren't evil; we killed a killer for you!" ... they howled in anger.

But it wasn't like that excuse was gonna fly. Somebody had noticed tufts of hair around the last missing person, and the DNA matched, and they saw how hairy Dystopian Vision was. The town strung them up mercilessly, and let them hang by the neck until dead.

Dystopian Vision have been lynched. They were Romulus Skrimgur, a

Werewolf

END OF NIGHT TWO

A loud booming noise, followed by a repeated screams of anguish, wakes every single citizen of

District Z

. They rush from their houses to find a body in the town square, with his eyes glazed over in terror... the screams have stopped, and he clutches desperately at his chest, now gasping for breath. His own pistol lies a few feet away, and his custodian helmet has fallen at his side. His legs are crumpled under him. A flurry of questions gushes forth from the townspeople.

The man tries to rise, his eyes still intense yet unfocused... "I saw... a bright light..." but his body slumps back, and his head lolls to the side, and the crowd knows he is dead. A stunned silence falls over the restless rabble.

Untrod Tripod has been shot. He was Sebastian Montes, the

Town Constable

i unlocked the thread while posting the day-beginning post, and so started the day, while i still had a tab open editing the first post (because i needed to post the day-beginning post in order to link to it in that window), but it had the "lock this topic" checkbox still checked, since the topic was still locked when i opened that tab, so when i posted the OP update, i inadvertently re-locked the thread, and i didn't notice until i noticed nobody was posting.

tl;dr: zakk was careless and/or too efficient for his own good.

tl;dr ts;dc: infer nothing from it other than that grapes are purple and/or green and sometimes can be used to make wine of the red and/or white variety, depending which kind you use to make it. also, water is wet.

If only one scum player remained alive in a faction and they so chose to use a non-killing power role action simultaneously with a shared factional night kill, this would be explicitly allowed.

END OF DAY FIVE

Fate [3] [LYNCH]

– ɀefiend, SirCakez, RadiantCowbells

A lynch has been reached.

After a few days of heated discussion, people began to see the reason of ɀefiend's repeated claims that he was not in town to harm anyone. And they realized that ɀefiend was not the one deceiving them. In a cruel twist of Fate, it was Fate itself which deceived them. And so they gave the finger to destiny, and pulled the metaphorical trigger which freed them from the bonds of deception, and opened the bright, shining door of being able to choose their own end.

Fate has been lynched. He was Gio Salvatori, a

Mafia Goon

.

Wait wait wait wait wait a second... all that talk about fate and destiny and it turns out he was just a lousy mafia goon?

...

Uh, actually, never mind, that's fine. The townies all agreed that they wanted to get rid of those, too.

Finally, the last enemy had been defeated.

...

Or so the town thought.

[zakk]

Suddenly, ɀefiend's skin began to crawl, turning a sickly shade of gray. His head changed shape, and his eyes turned a deep, dark, abyssal black, and his voice became low and sepulchral, and he laughed a horrible laugh of ... mocking terror.

Indeed, ɀefiend was not of this world.

ɀefiend was an..... alien.

A muthafuckin

alien

.

A win condition has been reached!

ɀefiend,

Agent Z, Alien Modified Jailkeeper Survivor

has probed enough earthlings and collected enough intelligence to satisfy his superiors, as well as surviving to return to his home planet!

[zakk]

ɀefiend looked around, and slowly realized that his laughter was not contagious. Oh well, some things were lost in translation.

Realizing that nobody else shared his exuberance at achieving his mission goals, he wasted no time in packing up the intelligence he'd collected, and climbing into his ship, and rocketing into the atmosphere, bound home, never to be seen again.

And with that...

Another win condition has been reached!

RadiantCowbells,

Ardui-Kloaa, Town Soothsayer

, survives and wins!
SirCakez,

Melanie Castro, Vanilla Townie

, survives and wins!
Killthestory,

Jay Washington, Vanilla Townie

, wins posthumously!
yessiree bob,

Alice Steinbeck, Vanilla Townie

, wins posthumously!
Untrod Tripod,

Sebastian Montes, Town Constable

, wins posthumously!


The game has ended in a joint win between

Town

and the

Alien

role!

Congrats to the winners!

[zakk]

Holy shit I actually fucking won.... That was an awesome and fun game for me. Thanks a lot zakk!!!

The hardest part was the fucking post restriction... I couldn't claim anything except VT. That included describing what powers I had, that I visited anyone, that I was 1-shot BP, my win condition, and a whole mess of other crap.

I could have back stabbed town so many times but it was just too easy to win with them, and they also deserved to win given the start of the game.

Hahaha, I'm sorry for making you (or anyone, really) play that role, but I'm glad you had fun with it. I really hoped you would!

[zakk]

Check it, yo.

Nominate ɀefiend for Best Third Party

, for his play as an

Alien Survivor role in Mafia Z

, where he survived being lynched or killed throughout all five days, assisted town in defeating two different scum factions, and probed the required minimum of 4 other players before the game ended! He did all of this while abiding by a post restriction which forbade him from claiming anything other than Vanilla Townie, under strict penalties which would result in his lynch threshold being lowered by up to two votes, depending on the circumstances revolving around the infraction. Truly a game well played, and definitely worth nominating for others to see. Really hope he wins this.

(I also submitted that via the form, so no worries)

• Alien Role PM
  
  
  
  Spoiler: ɀefiend (Agent Z, Alien Modified Jailkeeper Survivor)

  Congratulations.

  You won the jackpot. So pay attention, because this could be the role of a lifetime, and you could potentially have a really fun game which you'll remember for a long time, if you play things right. (You're welcome. Even though it was randomized, haha.)
  
  

  You are an alien.

  You have chosen, or been chosen, to travel to Earth as a covert representative of the government of your home planet. You are a homosapien research scientist. That means you get to abduct and probe people. You can choose one player per night to abduct and probe. Any player you abduct cannot be affected by any other actions, and will not be able to perform any of their own. And before you ask, no, you may not abduct and probe yourself (lol, sicko).
  
  Your mission, whether or not you choose to accept it, is to successfully abduct and probe the hapless individuals of the city in which you landed, repeatedly, until you "learn enough" to satisfy your superiors. They probably didn't really expect you to succeed, since you're a rookie at this, so they've given you the advantage of a personal shield generator, which will halt the first attempt on your life (whether lynch or nightkill). They've also installed a super high-tech mechanism into your spaceship (designed more with peaceful destination planets in mind, which this may very well not be...). This mechanism, after two successful probings, will *optionally* allow the representative (that's you) to permanently sacrifice your personal shield generator (if unused) to be absorbed into your spaceship's glowy power supply (oooOOOOooo), granting the ability to probe people during the daytime as well. So maybe use that to target people who you consider dangerous to your personal health and win condition. This daytime abduction ability should readily help satisfy your superiors' probe quotas (more on that later), but it will come at a cost to your own safety.
  
  And speaking of safety, you do not have a safe claim. Also, you don't know what you will show up as to any hypothetical appropriate unblocked investigative actions targeting you, so you should probably mostly lay low. I mean... or not. It's your choice. But I warned you. And I'm about to warn you again, so listen up:
  
  If, at any point, you claim anything other than the mod-provided vanilla townie role found in the game's opening post, you will be forced to forfeit your shield generator to the civilian authorities (you will lose all use of it), and additionally, the lynch threshold on you will decrease by one vote (i.e. L-2 would be L-1, L-1 would be L-0). If your shield has already been absorbed into your spaceship, then your lynch threshold will decrease by two votes (which, in a game this small, is pretty much a death sentence).
  
  Needless to say, any of that happening would be preeeeetty bad for you, because for you to win, you need to probe at least four (4) players, AND survive to the point when another faction reaches their win condition... at which point you will hopefully climb into your little spaceship and fly your lil' ass home, laden with a bunch of manila file folders containing documents describing people's deepest hopes, dreams, and fears. Otherwise, you'll end up as just another experiment in a lab in Area 51, and a bunch of tin foil hat-wearing neckbeards will discuss you on the internet like a science fiction movie special feature.
  
  Let me know if you have any questions. I've no doubt there will be some, and that's okay.
  
  Confirm by PM. The game thread is here.

My favorite quote of the game

MOTHERFUCKER ARE YOU SERIOUSLY RUNNING A 10P MULTIBALL SETUP

[zakk]

Thank you all for playing. Your questions, comments, and critiques are more than welcome.

<3

[zakk]

questions:

- was zefiend aware that he made people see a bright light?
- why did you put game-related information in UT's death scene?
- this one is to UT: why did you take the fact that you saw a bright light to the grave?

1. Not explicitly.
2. Flavor purposes. There's game related info in all the flavor. Bad idea, you think?
3. That also had me shruggin'

[zakk]

anyway thanks for modding zakk

yw yessiree. Thanks for playing!

[zakk]

anyway thanks for modding zakk

zakks you need to make the pts public

Up to scum. Dead one is already public.

[zakk]

5:2:2:1 and we still won

we deserve a fucking cake or something goddamn

Tbqh it was pretty hard for any faction to win, really.

What are your setup thoughts tho?

[zakk]

That Alien role is insane wtf

Ahahahhahahahhahahahahahha yea it was, huh

[zakk]

Do you guys think that adding a vanilla townie would significantly improve the set up?

[zakk]

Originally the alien was just a normal town jailkeeper. But I felt like town had too much power compared to the scum teams. So I made the JK neutral and called it an alien and added some bells and whistles.

[zakk]

Umm.

You could add 3 and I'd say the setup would be reasonably balanced.

LOL fair enough

[zakk]

And wanted to be impossible for him, just wanted him to be creative

[zakk]

^ Unfairly powerful? Or unfairly difficult?
