Endgame

Spoiler: Setup

Setup

• You are
  Knight Errants
  , chivalrous adventurers seeking to punish evil wherever you find it.
  
• Four of you are
  Fallen Knights
  , who seek to bring down the
  Knight Errants
  . They will murder one player each night.
  
• All matters are settled with
  duels
  , not
  lynches
  . Each of you may publicly
  challenge
  another to a duel, which
  gladiates
  the two of you.
  
• The legendary sword,
  Excalibur
  , lies
  unclaimed
  in public.
  
• Anyone can secretly
  claim
  Excalibur
  during the night, and transform into a
  Bulletproof Vigilante
  . It will be publicly announced that the sword has been
  claimed
  , but not the identity of the player who
  claimed
  it.
  
• If you are not the rightful owner of the sword, you will
  die
  instead of your target when you try to
  vig
  someone. If a
  Mafia
  -aligned player
  claims
  Excalibur
  , then he/she will immediately
  die
  .
  
• Note that if more than one player try to
  claim
  the
  Excalibur
  during the night, one of them will be
  randomly
  chosen for the sword.
  
• If the player who has the
  Excalibur
  dies, then it becomes publicly
  unclaimed
  again. You cannot willingly
  unclaim
  the sword.
  
• One of the
  Knight Errants
  is
  Arthur
  , the rightful owner of
  Excalibur
  , but he is
  unaware
  of his true nature and will receive a simple
  Knight Errant Role PM
  . (but will still flip as
  Arthur
  )
  
• Thankfully, one of you is the wizard
  Merlin
  , who is aware of
  Arthur's
  true identity. Merlin also knows who has the
  Excalibur
  at all times.
  
• Merlin
  cannot just outright say who
  Arthur
  is, because
  Mafia

  Nightkill
  resolves before the

  claiming

  of the sword.
  
  
• Finally, if there is only one
  Fallen Knight
  remaining, then he/she will surrender and the game will end in
  Town

  Victory
  .

Town Win Condition

You win when there is only one

Mafia

-aligned players

remaining

, and there is at least one

Town

-aligned players

alive

.

Scum Win Condition

You win when number of

Mafia

-aligned players

alive

is greater than or equal to the number of

  • Feel free to address me in-thread, but if there is a large egregious mistake please PM me. Small matters like errors in the votecount can be posted in-thread.
    
  • I have the final say on any issue. I reserve the right to force-replace and modkill at my will.
    
  • This is a game. Have fun, and keep the game fun for other people. Stay civilized, please.

Day 1

Excalibur is

unclaimed.

Countdown to deadline: (expired on 2018-12-03 16:00:00)

[FakeGod]

@MOD: If Merlin dies and flips, does Arthur's identity get revealed with the flip?
Can Merlin claim Excalibur?

No. Yes.

[FakeGod]

Fucking moronic.
Delete your account and make a new one called Something_Scummy or Something_Stupid if you're gonna keep that shit up.

Please tone it down or I'll force-replace you.

[FakeGod]

@FakeGod What happens if someone tries to claim when the sword is already claimed?

You cannot try to claim the sword if it's already claimed, even if you think the sword wielder will die during the night.

[FakeGod]

@MOD: Could we get a Deadline countdown somewhere?

Added to the Day 1 post.

[FakeGod]

@MOD: You said that the kill resolves before the sword is claimed, however, does the kill resolve AFTER or BEFORE it is decided which claimer will get it?
IE:
Is it SCENARIO 1: Player A and B go to claim Sword. Sword will random roll to player A. Scum kill player A. Sword is unclaimed in the morning because A died before they could claim it
or
SCENARIO 2: Player A and B go to claim Sword. Scum kill player A. Claim is rolled post-kill and goes to player B since they are the only one going for Sword?

Scenario 1.

Hey all, I'm really really sorry but I'm requesting replacement, had no idea how quickly large games went and there's a significant chance I won't be able to keep up/catch back up. Wanted to bail now rather than when it was even longer for the sake of replacements. Sorry again and good luck!

Win Condition has been met. Endgame incoming.

[FakeGod]

Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme,

there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart.

I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.

-by Michael Morpurgo

Varsoon, Dunnstral, Not Known 15, and PenguinPower, aligned with Mafia, wins the game!

[FakeGod]

Dead PT
Scum PT

[FakeGod]

I wrote a long,

scathing

criticism of town play in this game, but I lost it and decided that it was better not posted.

Congratulations to scum team for winning despite Arthur getting the sword on Night 1!

[FakeGod]

i'd have liked to read it anyway, FakeGod. i hate everything about what i did this game.

You probably did best out of town. My criticisms were mostly aimed at Kokichi.

[FakeGod]

Scum PT is now public.

[FakeGod]

Gist of my thoughts:

The chances of town actually getting Arthur on Excalibur is exceedingly low, but boy OH BOY is Arthur + Excalibur

STRONG

. Most people don't get to experience a power imbalance like this: an IC BP Vig in a mountainous setup!!!! You're a freaking

SUPERMAN

at that point. People would absolutely KILL for a role like that. Your Merlin pulled off a

MIRACLE

somehow and she managed to get the sword to Arthur on N1 (ended up being 1/3 chance, btw), which is the single best possible scenario for town in this setup, and then what happened????

Town lost. Badly. It wasn't even close. Everyone was busy doing random things and fakeclaiming their asses off while your superman killed town after town before going AWOL. The only scum lynch was the one the scum team gave to you guys.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that despite being dealt an amazingly good hand, possibly the

single best hand in the game

against all odds, town managed to lose the game. It's like if your favorite soccer team started the game with 5 goals, and then finished the game 5-30 with half your players red carded. Or it's the Olympics relay swimming and your Micheal Phelps swam back with a massive lead and turns out rest of your team can't swim. Or you're Sauron and sent 9 ringwraiths against a couple of hobbit farmers and the ringwraiths fail fantastically. I don't know. I can't even begin to imagine just how huge of a lead the town needed to win this game.

[FakeGod]

[FakeGod]

You guys played the scenario with the most swing possible. This setup is actually lot less swingy because the vig rarely shows up in this setup.

Do you prefer 3p scum team instead of 4p white flag? I thought 4p white flag offers more flexibility than 3p scum team.
