A Job Unfinished

Firo and Maiza had a job to do. They were supposed to get in, get out, deal with the thing and leave, but this complicated situation had already become even nastier.
Maiza and Firo had spread out along the top of the Flying Pussyfoot to try and do some recon, but Maiza hadn't shown up for the specified return time. Firo was getting impatient.

"What could be taking him so long?"

he muttered to himself.

"Oh, I think I may have had a hand in that.."

A hand grasped Firo's scalp, trying to eat him away into nothingness, but instead, Firo merely yelped and slashed at the hand with his razor, leaving a deep wound.
The shadowed figure frowned,

"so.. somehow you have lost your immortality? A pity, child. It appears that I have no use for you then."

Firo narrowed his eyes,

"you'll never get away with this you crazy bastard!"

"Oh, but I already have.."

he said as he tossed Firo off the side of the train.

End of Day One

Big The Cat has been lynched. He was

Firo Prochainezo [Town Rolecop]

Don't forget to send in night actions!

Red States

A rift had opened within young Firo Prochainezo long after the events on the Flying Pussyfoot had occurred originally. Out of him spilled the soul of Szilard the wicked, taking his immortality with him as he went. The three of them had traveled back in time. One to achieve in death what he had failed to achieve in life, and the other two to try and stop him.
Szilard had succeeded.

Within him was the knowledge of every immortal. It was intoxicating, to feel all of their thoughts swimming in his head. He frowned. Why did he still not yet feel satisfied? Something seemed wrong. Shouldn't he be happy? That after all of this time, he'd finally bested Maiza and become the one and only true immortal to walk the Earth?
He collapsed to the ground.

"What is this feeling? Why do I feel so empty? I should feel full!! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING"

Making so much noise, he caught the attention of one Ladd Russo, who had more or less taken control of all of the Flying Pussyfoot at this point.

"Another poor unfortunate soul in the midst of despair!"

Ladd sighed,

"best to put him out of his misery!"

He took aim at the hunched over and cloaked figure, noticing that something about him seemed kind of strange.

"Sorry old man, but your noise is just so damn distracting, it's making it hard for me to focus!"

Ladd fired and fired and fired, then paused, before firing some more.

"Well, wasn't that fun?"

he leaned over to one of his goons and looked over at them with a grin on his face, before pausing. They had a look of shock in their eyes, "boss.. what the hell is happening to him!?!?"
Ladd raised an eyebrow, noticing that all of the blood that had spilled on his shirt from the old man had started crawling back towards his corpse, shaking him as it did so.

"Oh.. this is interesting.."

You might think it comical, but Ladd slowly became a national threat. After that day, he took Szilard's weakened form back with him, torturing information out of him until he learned all of the secrets of immortality and details of his secret formula.
He stole the entire batch and soon all of his followers were made immortal.
The lot of them went on killing sprees and nobody could do anything to stop them.
Ladd proclaimed that he would paint all of the United States of America red.
And only then, once every single last damn person had their life extinguished, would he take the life of his love.

has won!

[Aristophanes]

Well, we fucked up guys :S

Well played, scumteam!
We really should've been more on top of you.

What did Supermacho and Superinformed mean?

[Cheetory6]

Basically the idea was that if they were the one making the kill, they would get a certain benefit based on that.
West would inherently roleblock anyone he tried to kill.
notquitethere would inherently rolecop anyone he tried to kill.

Setup might seem really scumsided, but that's primarily because people were wayyyyy too casual with claiming/softclaiming being immortal. I think people shouldn't have assumed I wouldn't balance the setup around having multiple bulletproofs in play, which really allowed scum to narrow their kill choices and really racked up kills early.
Town had a lot of power that didn't end up panning out. Self-redirector could have been really dangerous. Distraction was essentially a roleblock of sorts. Shield was a really powerful role which could have really hampered down the number of kills if it was actually used. I think Johnny got his wincon mixed up, which wasn't to completely ravage the town

I think a lot of town had great reads, it just like.. got lost in the mess of distracting stuff like Big The Cat and Kalimar lynches.

Will post roles soon.
Will open ScumPT if mafia are all okay with it.

[Varsoon]

It was was too obvious big was town.
We should've lynched NQT. :/

Dat swinginess. Ah well. Cool roles.
Mainez obv-scum, too.

Fun stuff.

[Metal Sonic]

My slot was spot on with the role cops.....

whatever, gg scum.

[Varsoon]

It's cool, MS. I got too paranoid and should've had your back more.
We both needed to be less sketchy, I think.

[notquitethere]

That was good! All the claims definitely helped us plan, so we only missed one kill (we tried to kill Varsoon the same night that Johnny ate Jazz).

Quite a few times town figured out who was scum, or maybe 2/3. It's lucky for us you weren't more coordinated and Big looked so shifty.

I don't mind the scum chat being shared.

[Mainez]

yay~

fine with opening the scum pt!

[West9]

gg everyone! Thanks for hosting the game, Cheet! Excellent job as always.

I spent most of this game panicking. Y'all had some scary scumreads on Hydra.

I'm fine with opening the PT. We got kinda cocky near the end, though, so sorry about that.

I think Cheet's right about you guys having great reads. it just seemed like everybody really wanted to kill Big and Kalimar. It distracted you guys a LOT. Mainez made an unnoticed scumslip during her roleclaim, and nobody seemed to pay any attention that there were two roleblocks on Toast that weren't claimed by anyone (I was really afraid that made it obvious that I was lying about not roleblocking him).

One question: what was the fakeclaim that Johnny had that he chose not to use?

[Cheetory6]

Jacuzzi Splott.
His immortality got revealed with the vengekill though so it didn't really work after that.

I think I'm gonna give MVP to Mainez this game for being a relatively new player and getting townread by a lot of people for most of the game.
Despite said aforementioned scumslip, I thought you did a great job.

[Cheetory6]

Excellent job as always.

Thanks
Hoping to do some less crazy setups for the next little while though

[Kalimar]

ehhh i guess i can take a little solace in the fact my only serious votes were on scum.

town got complacent in laziness - and i was complicit in it myself - and 3-1-9 is notoriously scum-sided. i don't think scum's play was particularly noteworthy but it did the job against a kinda inert/unfocused town. congrats.

[notquitethere]

Oh! I was really impressed that Toast's Leader/Sheep/Lurker theory was 100% spot on. If he'd have revisited that on the last day and took it seriously, he'd have realised that by process of elimination I was the Leader-scum.

This is the link to the scum chat.

+1 on this. I spent most of that day trying to get out of the lurker pile.

[JohnnyFarrar]

Heh. So guys, I didn't realize I couldn't win with scum until like 48 hours before the day was over. My bad, town.

[notquitethere]

What was your wincon?

[JohnnyFarrar]

All immortals + Mafia are dead. I realize letting me win with scum would have broken this setup (and it did, because that's what I was going for) but I probably would have had less fun with it had I known I had to help town and kill them at the same time

[notquitethere]

Ah, so since you'd killed all the immortals you were functionally a town player and could have been using your stolen abilities to scumhunt.

[Mainez]

that theory scared me

[Mainez]

where did i scumslip?

thanks cheetory for the game, it got me interested in baccano (but i'm still not done watching it lol)!

[ToastyToast]

Yeah it works but I got wayyy to tunnel visioned on a Cat lynch, and I think you guys recognized that and capitalized on it.
Part of my revealing that was to see who changed their game afterwards, and target those as scum. But no one seemed to buy into it and I got worried about targetting just lurkers.

Also, nqt, you got me sooo far up you butt day one that I wasn't ready to consider the alternative

well played though, scum. Wish town had conversed more because we would have been able to connect more dots, I think.
