Mafia 52: A WWTWMM Case (TOWN WINS)

[Iwamoto Yuri]

Ummm...
Lynz's story confuses me. What happen?? O_o

AND THERE TWO PAIRS OF LOVERS O-O. ...that can happen???

though it was by accident having two pair of lovers is actually allowed. According to the rules the gm can decide how many lovers there are XD

And long story short, Conia was lynched and Pofa committed suicide, Gio was poisoned and the other roles were revealed :x.
And then the Master showed himself to the players and ran off (or rather teleported away)

[Tenth]

"Well then." Arriving near the group of survivors I grin, "Seems there was a nice amount still alive, if you want I could bring you all home, but you can also stay it's your choice." Looking at my shoes my grin widens.
"I could save a few of your friends, but not the last two and the first two that died... Well, that's still a lot, maybe we should celebrate?"

"And finally, we also have some music."

(thank you for joining poeople \o/, hopefully we can do this again, but anonymous sometime. Also, I have a will of someone who didn't die here to appreciate!

Will:
I know what you're thinking, "Did he choose a pair of lovers this round or not?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. You've just got to live with the fact that they might be out there, ready to run off into the sunset (after killing the lot of you)!

If this piece of paper should be read by eyes not my own.
Once more have I found the painful embrace of death.
However, worry not dearest all.
Captain Jack Harkness shall arise,
like a Phoenix from the ashes.

Anyway, enough of that, let's get onto business. I do have clues left behind.


Here's what I know (minus detailed information about allies' actions/abilities and some other facts best kept secret ^^)
Night1:
Miyano tricks Conia (and he loses the Exterminate ability)
Vodka assumedly tricks Nix
I was attacked and injured. :V
Gio, my guardian angel, protected me. \o/
Day1:
Kain (Gin) lynched.
I received the bow tie ^^
Night2:
Kamite attacked.
Miyano tricked? (losing the Exterminate ability).
Used bow tie to interrogate KL, result -> "Not BO"
Day2:
Meme (Vodka) lynched.
Received the bow tie again! <3
Night 3:
Stop (Sonoko) died.
KaiRai imprisoned. | No more gadgets for the rest of the game... :/
Used bow tie to investigate KL for disguises (Agents/Cops with SO), result -> False, investigated Conia's action which came back true.
Day 3:
Jecka (Sera) poisoned.
Votes Not Shown.
Night 4:
Nix(Camel) murdered.
Miyano arrested.
Kamite targeted with Exterminate ability (So not the killer)

I find these people trustworthy (but again, as Nix said so wisely before dying—not 100% reliable if Anokata is around): KaiRai, Cinna, Miyano, Gio, Kamite
Somehow, inbetween Nix's death and Miyano's arrest, I have come to find these 3 suspicious: Conia, KL, Pofa. But y'know, in Mafia we're all paranoid. Looking over our shoulder each day and night expecting a stab in the back.


My current guestimation of the BO team: Gin, Vodka, Anokata, Vermouth and/or Irish.
As far as I know, 2 of them should still be out there.

At last, a few words to my saviour from night 1, "Go get'em all—spoil the aliens plans and save us all!" <3
... ... ... ...
This familiar feeling,
"Ow?" he cries out.
His hands red with blood,
pressed against the wound
in his chest—

"I had spoken with few thus far,"
he says aloud.
"pofa my dear, I owe you a drink—help yourself,
to the good bottle in my pocket."

Conia—or Gin was it?
A question best left unspoken.
"Was that a gun in your pocket,
or was you just happy to see me?"
He says with a wink.

With combined efforts,
the Phantom and the Chef
strung up the evil prince.
The town was all cheers,
while his partners
cried bitter tears.

Gin, was you not pure evil.
I had an invitation to you sent,
to join the Epic Coat Club.

"Gio, let's try this again sometime.
Preferable with a different ending!"
He say quietly, turning pale,
And wishing he had a pint of ale.

Slippery slope..
Slippery slope..
"No deaths yet?"
Anokata angrily said.

During the third day
the lights suddenly went out.
He had a dream to fullfill,
and here was his chance.
Vodka suddenly ran out.
With a gleam in his eye he exclaimed.
"Sorry Aniki, just you wait and see,
soon I'll be the biggest star on Broadway!"

Friends are forever,
Life's true treasure.
The cheerful gal
knew well this fact.
She walked up to the girl
and exclaimed;
"Do you want to be my Best Friend?"

The two girls skipped down a hall,
through the TARDIS hand in hand.
Down a passageway they went,
searching every cranny and nook,
to a room filled with books.

An eerie presence they suddenly felt,
but by then it was far too late.
One girl fell through the floor,
the other went through a hatch in the wall.

In a room not far from there,
a man's laughter carried through the air.
A famous saying goes like this,
'Curiousity killed the cat'.
The only hope left in place
is for satisfaction to bring it back.

Drippity drop..
Drippity drop..
Drippity drop..
Quietly the Captain collapses
in a shallow pool of blood.

After everyone has left the room,
the Captain's body begin to churn.
Alive once again after
rounds of three, two, one.
Ready or not, here he come!

He rise to his feet, straigthens his jacket,
and dusts flecks of dirt from the shoulder—
Pausing then, taking a final glance back.
With a twinkle in his eye,
he bids you a fond farewell
and without a blink,
a quick wink,
he turn without a say.
... ... ... ...

that's all, I hope you'll join a future round!)

[Kaito Lady]

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many things to say right now So many people to thank and apologize, let's see if I can gather up everything that I want to say:

Apologies to everyone I had to lie to... which is basically everyone except pofa But to Raiden, Nix, Gio, Kain, Meme, Cinna, I apologize to all for trying to madly deceive you ^^' I guess no one will trust me now on upcoming Mafia games D: But it was fun nevertheless.

nah, don't worry, you know how it works, whenever you're a BO Everyone believes you, but when you're town Everyone mistrusts you and want to lynch you *glares at no in particular*

[Captain Jack]

Yay we won! o/\o *High-fives team*
Many Thanks to awesome allies, GMs and BO alike for a serious fun game!


I knew it!
I had a feeling BO/Town lovers was around, but didn't want to believe there was two pairs in such a small game. :V

I had a hunch PofaxConia being lovers but changed it to ConiaxNix later on since she was adamant in her trust for him being town. It made sense until she was killed N4. :x ^^;
*hugs* A shame you guys couldn't win. I knew the moment I set you guys up on the first date it was a match meant to be; MegurexBourbon.<3

whohooooaaa! *drops unconcious from excitement*
Seriously, that was the most intense Mafia showdown I've experienced so far. Thank you, everyone, great game!

*high-fives Gio* We are the best team ever!
We was just missing Yuriko and Xpon, then it would have been like a reversed Round 36 - sorta, in a way. :3

I was both happy and dreadful when I found I got Yumi as a role, since she usually dies as the first...and wasn't the least bit surprised when I found out I were attacked the first night.
First thought "Damnit! Cop curse strikes again D:".
Second thought, "Yay I got a guardian angel looking out for me!" :3
...also while talking with Yuriko on mIRC. "I wonder if Conia is BO, it's like a classic Conia move to kill the guy which can't be killed as the first target. Like when he wanted to kill the Grinch during pofa's christmas anon round to 'save the christmas'. :V"

Despite that, I went ahead and contacted him anyway. :x
(...and don't regret it one bit. Even though you lied to me -and- tried to kill me. *shakes fist* I'll call it even though. After all, I did lynch you (indirectly causing pofa to suicide too :X) with the help of the other pair I hooked up with each other at the beginning of the game. :p)

KL was so close to decide on arresting Conia for Nix's death. Sooo close. :x

Spoiler: Last PM with KL before phase change

It's your choice to decide that...
Pofa could have killed Sonoko N3, and Conia Nix N4 (hoping for the town cop to fall). But it could be reversed too.

....I'll arrest....co...pofa then.....for killing......ni....sonoko(stoppy) on N3

The town could have won without bloodshed if it had gone through. Maybe if I hadn't been so tired and thought it over a few more moments I would have reached the conclusion to tell her to try arrest Conia for killing Nix. :V *hangs head in shame* I fail at arrests. D:


I did feel sorta useless this round as I couldn't do anything while injured. Other than contact people and try gather information and filter out the lies from the truth people told me. Luckily a certain thief decided to help the cop this time and send useful gadgets-- \o/ -- not even KID can resist the charm of Captain Jack Harkness.

-GMs logic: This point concerns how coherent the GMs were to the rules or to their convinctions related to the Round. I gotta say that some rules weren't clear and I asked a lot of questions, and for most of them I got good answers. I was very surprised to find out that Miyano knew exactly that she got the Dalek ability for tricking me, which did play a big drawback against my credibility. I never found that in the rules, but I haven't thoroughly checked that section maybe I missed it.

It's written under the new special status abilities here.

I'm curious...who had the Weeping Angel ability (or was it even around)? :O

...Also, I have a will of someone who didn't die here to appreciate!

Spoiler: Captain Jack aka Yumi's Will

Oh hey, that's my will.
I was thinking of posting a part of it (leaving out the scribbly theory stuff and just post the silly poem), but I see it's already out. :V

[Raiden]

^ Also. I am kinda curious how many figured out it was me up there on their own.



*Secretly edits in a few more words*

One more thing for those interested (and not part of the exclusive few whom I shared it with during the game - you know who you are :3). Here is the Lover List: Kamite(Ran), Pofa(Megure), Nix(Camel), Conia(Bourbon), Cinna(Kazuha), Meme(Vodka).


[05:16:08] <+Megure> First time lovers ;_; I love Ray

You're welcome pofa!
...gotta say, your will is hilarious awesome. Thanks for the laugh! XD

*Wanders off to plot who to pair up next time I am Yumi *

[miyano_shiho]

Yay town won! \o/

Thanks to the GMs and to everyone who participated in the game. It's nice to play forum mafia again after so many months.

[Iwamoto Yuri]

I was very surprised to find out that Miyano knew exactly that she got the Dalek ability for tricking me, which did play a big drawback against my credibility.

It shouldn't have, since the extra abilities were meant to be just that: A fun extra thing that had nothing to do with which side you were on.

I'm curious...who had the Weeping Angel ability (or was it even around)? :O

I added an ability for every five people, so it wasn't around. (I had given it to Yukiko, but she had to step out :x

Also, I'm sad you guys did not get the vid for when the BO won XD

[Kaito Lady]

it would be nice to have another DW themed mafia game, truly anonymous, like it was first intended to be.

[Iwamoto Yuri]

it would be nice to have another DW themed mafia game, truly anonymous, like it was first intended to be.

This, also, next time it should be that I don't have to be in bed early and the other GM (should there be one) isn't busy at the same time.
I've been tired a lot, so I made mistakes (one was making the game unbalanced, I've made a lot of mistakes in that part, which I've realised, I'm sorry for that, but Lyndsi wasn't around to tell me what to change...)

I hope everyone can give me a second chance sometime and join that anonymous round because I'm still planning on making that work some day (if the forums don't die first)

On the part of the GM feedback, however, I have to say that while I get it's frustrating gm's make mistakes, they do this so we can have a fun game! Isn't it going too far to have a whole topic to judge them for some mistakes they made even while they are sacrificing their time arranging a round..?

The feedback is there to help people improve in GMing and to see what things work or don't work; it helps to have an outside POV with some things to point out what has been missed. Besides, feedback is filtered before going through.

The rules should have been edited to show this mistake as I told Lynz.

[Iwamoto Yuri]

ah, I guess, that's true, but do we really need a topic dedicated to that? :V
And as to the rules, I don't see why they have to be edited as they already say that... Or am I confused here...

[Yurikochan]

ah, I guess, that's true, but do we really need a topic dedicated to that? :V
And as to the rules, I don't see why they have to be edited as they already say that... :V

It's too GM's addition, yes, and small games it can be devastating, also pairing lovers needs to be thought out, really well to or it can and will also affect your game play. Fun fact, I wrote a game like this and was going to have it played out as a crack round since people were into them at the times. It's nice to protect your town too, but look at your round if Lynz never made lovers accidentally, do you have any thoughts that the BO had enough power to win with all protects/LD/heals going on?

[Iwamoto Yuri]

actually, I was too obsessed with not having too many detectives in the game so that town wouldn't be too powerful to think about that. And yes, I should have done that differently. I realised that day one. But things happened like they happened. I realise the mistakes I made and learned from them, too.
The point is that people had a fun time playing, I think that's important, yk?
I can list tons of things I should have done differently. I was also too obsessed with making things work for this round and having more players to think other things through properly, because most people aren't online anymore, so yes, that was stupid, I admit that, but I don't see how that has to do with changing the rules. What would we have to alter, exactly, Yuriko? Not adding more than one couple to a game when it's too small? Most people don't even know you can do that while the rules state it's possible.
And frankly, Lyndsi not getting my message saved this round, since it added more equality to the game with Conia having a solid ally that helped him take out two townies.
Also, yes, I should have added another BO member, Lyndsi and I should have made more time for this and I should have waited with sending roles till she could have balanced it out, but we didn't and frankly I don't see why we are going to worry about that more than we should now. I know that next time I should do things differently and not be afraid I have an overpowered town or BO side (which I was seriously afraid of doing, my bad I reversed it by fearing that).
Anyway, even if I made mistakes people had a blast, I'm glad for that, and the BO still took out many people. Isn't that the point, having fun?
:V
I need to stop discussing or trying to defend myself before I start to take this personally, sheesh...
Anyway, lesson learned, shaking hands on it?

It is the point, yes, and when you do GM again, I'm really hoping you try to fix your mistakes and I may be a bit biased, whether Conia was on the BO or not, I'd still look into everything going on due to the last game when it truly did feel like you didn't want your BO team to win. ( I've written this five times now and kept deleting it earlier. ) but it didn't feel like it fit, but I don't want to attack you for it. I just wanted to make sure that's not the reason the balancing was this game. It was good on the parts of all and it would have been a fun round if I gotten to play. But no, it's nothing personal, but please do your best, also you do know when they protect correctly with Ran's protect they should get injured and the BO member gets outted in the process. ( which is why I do believe it's a pretty big deal with the protects )
