DEFCON Mafia 5.0: GAME OVER - NEW AMERICA FORMED

[innocentvillager]

lmao im even more convinced StD is last scum here

[Save The Dragons]

what that was supposed to convince you i'm not scum

[Save The Dragons]

i really am not the last scum here

[Bingle]

wait if u sui can Church retract nuke... ugh whatever lets just wait i out

I’m literally the only one who can’t sui here. We’re stuck waiting the 12 hours or so until skitts can’t retract and then we can launch.

[joqiza]

Vaxkiller when you get a chance, I want you to review your mod PMs and confirm for us again that you have clears on Cephrir and innocent villager. Not that I really doubt you, but I want to absolutely preclude any kind of slippery oopsies/takebacksies on the final day.

I've confirmed on my side that there is no troop duplication outside of the terrorist, so since Robert died with counterespionage the Russians cannot have that role mechanically, therefore unless he gamethrew any reports could not be tampered with.

Just making sure we're dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's here.

[DeasVail]

I con.... firm that I’m cool with the plan

[JohnnyFarrar]

This thread is like a shot of dopamine every time I open it

[Cephrir]

church retracting doesn't give them another nuke, it doesn't matter

Ah shit. I misread my role PM. Turns out I'm masons with majiffy.

[innocentvillager]

fuck same my pm apparently says "godfather"? idk what that means

[innocentvillager]

apparently when i was stoned i misread "godfather" as "covert ops" my bad

[Toogeloo]

I don’t think we have to wait on skitter flip but rather on skitter being unable to retract their rocket to start launching, btw.

As long as ceph launches last to ensure scum doesn’t try a whoops, I thought I was supposed to target someone else gambit we should be good.

The only reason to wait is to ensure Ali isn't trolling us and is actually town. Let's not shoot ourselves in the foot if we're being fucked with lol.

[SirCakez]

As both nukes have passed the point of recall or interception, I am resolving both now. You will see why shortly.

[Day 4, DEFCON 1 - The Church of Skitter and Bingle]

Inside The White House...

"WHERE ARE WE WITH TODAY'S NUCLEAR OPERATIONS?? REPORT IN NOW!"
"SIR YES SIR. WE LAUNCHED SEVERAL WARHEADS AT ONE OF OUR TOP TARGETS. A COMMANDER NAMED.."

The Assistant ruffles through their notes.

"Bingle."

The Chairman blanches.

"BINGLE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? INCOMPETENT FUCK! HE IS OUR TOP MAN!"

The Chairman flips on a nearby TV.

"Reports are saying the building was totally destroyed. No survivors."

The Chairman wheels around.

"WE'VE LOST ANOTHER ONE! I'M THE ONLY RUSSIAN LEADER LEFT! WHAT CAN WE DO?"

In a quavering voice, the Assistant says
"Umm sir. Another nuclear missile has been detected. Heading straight at the white house. They have breached our defenses."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"Impact in about...10 seconds."

The Chairman turns to his portrait of Untrod Tripod.

"I AM SORRY LEADER TRIPOD. WE HAVE FAILED YOU."

The Chairman pulls out a gun. Shoot the Assistant dead. Turns it on himself.

"For Mother--"

KABOOM! The nuke incinerates everything!

The Church of Skitter, Russian (Missile Silo), was DECONSECRATED D4!

Bingle, Russian (Radar), was TURNED BACK INTO JINGLE D4!

That means...

[SirCakez]

Many months later...

Teams of Americans search through the rubble of the White House. Little retrievable intelligence, but certain nuke-proof safes and devices are taken.

Atop the rubble, revolutionaries Cephrir, innocentvillager, gorilla, Save The Dragons, JohnnyFarrar, Vaxkiller, Toogeloo, DeasVail, Titus and joqiza survey the wreckage.

Gorilla: "This destruction is vast. But with the Russians gone, we can rebuild our country."

Toogeloo nods in agreement. Save The Dragons wears an expression of fear and sadness.

Save The Dragons: "There is so much to do. So many dead."
DeasVail: "These are new times. We have everything going for us. Let's get going."
Vaxkiller: "Let's get it done!"

The revolutionaries descend from the rubble. Ready to begin their work.

The Americans have won!

Cakez's thoughts

DEFCON is a really fun setup and I was excited to run this. Unfortunately, this game didn't go as well as I hoped. The toxicity and replacements were really frustrating and sad to see, because this is usually a pretty silly and fun game. I also was pretty disappointed in many elements of the scum team's play - several players flaked and I think scum's play on day 4 was extremely questionable in several regards. Town played pretty well overall and deserved the win here. Such is life as a Mafia mod - games just go like this sometimes. I hope future iterations do not get as heated, disrespectful and rude as this one did.

Speaking of, I also hope to run this setup more in the future! It's fun to run and watch and I think players enjoy the power that comes with the setup.

Special shoutout to marry if they return. You were new to MS upon joining this game I believe and you were an extremely pleasant player. I hope to see you around in more games ^.^

[Titus]

GG all.

[skitter30]

thanks cakez for modding :)

[gorilla]

Well my reads still suck, but I guess all's well that ends well. Not the most thrilling of conclusions, but I enjoyed...most of you, obvious exceptions aside.


It was an honor returning to serve with you all one last time, but now I must bid you farewell and return to monke.

Lt. gorilla, Over and Out.

[SirCakez]

gorilla - it was very nice having you. I know you're dipping back into the ether now but I definitely would be happy to see you around more should you ever wish to do so!

You did great. Well played.

I don't have any comments about the mechanics or quality of the game.

I was extremely disappointed in the moderation this game. Time and time again Cakez failed to intervene to protect his players, substituting it for warnings that were blatantly ignored as it was clear they had no teeth behind them. There were too many moments to list, but suffice to say that the moderation team felt 2 bans were warranted as a result of this game while Cakez did not feel they were even worth a forcereplacement. I will openly comment on Reck's since I was one of the reporting parties and gave Cakez a lot of feedback privately, which I felt went nowhere.

I do not feel comfortable signing up for a game moderated by Cakez ever again. He let down and failed to protect multiple players this game, both before and after replaceout, and failed to intervene in even the most egregious scenarios that took place after my replaceout.

Even in a world in which Reck didn't deserve to be forcereplaced for flaming Merlot, the fact that he celebrated and was gleeful and unrepentant publicly in thread about causing 1/2 replaceouts - who could no longer post or respond to his victory lap- was revolting and absolutely deserved a forcereplacement/ban.

[Prism]

(And somehow, without delving too much into the others, Reck was the lightest offender of the bunch)

[Menalque]

O

I didn’t realise we’d crossed the no-recall line, I was gonna call off the one on bingle if it didn’t get intercepted

Thanks for modding cakez, thanks ali for carrying my ass

Still strongly object to the Russians being the bad guys in the flavour here
