game 14 mafia thread

Posted February 9, 2013 by white lancer

Welcome, dastardly Mafia members of this town! You should know the drill by now, but just in case you somehow managed to forget, your goal is to kill the Town members until you equal or surpass their numbers. Let's look at the roster, shall we?

Black Yoshi is the Godfather. There's no Cop in this game, but your ability is not useless! If the Oracle selects you and dies during the night, your role will be revealed to the Town as Townie. However, the Dreamer's dreams are a bit more perceptive than the Oracles because...well, because I said so, so you still have a chance of starring as a Mafia member in their dreams! You are also the head honcho and get to break any ties in the voting.

MajorasMask9 is the Ballot Forger. You have the power to change someone's vote, but you have to do it the night before the day round because otherwise you'll be caught. Every night, you get to select one player and choose what player they'll cast their vote for. They will not be aware that you changed their vote and have no way of stopping it; just like with the Double-voter, I will keep track of it in a different tally.

Count Dooku is a plain old boring Mafioso. Hey, at least you get to kill people!

Hey there everyone

For my night action tonight, I'm going to change CtR Black's vote, and make him vote for Roxas.

I'm a little bit concerned that the other Mafia members haven't checked in yet, which is why I delayed the start of the next round a little bit. Hoping this isn't foreshadowing of how the rest of the game is going to go. :-/

Anyway, your action is locked in, MM9!

Sorry, I been paying attention. But I'm useless round 1 so :P

Sorry, was busy yesterday -- had to help a friend of mine and his girlfriend watch his autistic brother, then had to perform with my college Pep Band at a basketball double-header last night, and then I came on last night but before I could finish my message I fell asleep.

Anyway, perhaps we should try to gun for the Dreamer and Oracle first -- they're the closest we have this game to the Cop.

Alright, guys, I'm going to give this to you straight: I messed up when I put the Ballot Forger in this game because it's too powerful with the ratio being what it is. In order for this role to work well, I really needed to give you one less member, because as it is there's a chance this game could end after the very first night, which I don't think would be much fun for anyone.

At the same time, I did give you this setup, so I don't want just to rip it away from you without your input, so I'm going to ask you for a favor (bear in mind that this is a choice, so you can say no). For the sake of a more interesting game, would you be willing to forego the Ballot Forger's power for the rest of the game (i.e. turn MM9 into a vanilla Mafioso)? I just wouldn't want this game to be less fun because of one mistake of mine.

Would you mind swapping us in another power role or something?

If not I'm cool with giving up the Ballot Forger, but its not my role to begin with {:P}

February 12, 2013

Count Dooku

I wouldn't mind that at all. The Ballot Forger really only works with a larger group, anyway, doesn't it?

But let's swap in another role instead -- for example, in the next Day round, have the Forger say he's decided to become the Janitor or something instead. I just feel like without some other power role on our side and the Oracle AND Dreamer on the Town's, then we wouldn't stand much of a chance unless we played almost perfectly. And trust me, I'm no Redack; I couldn't play a perfect game as a normal Townie, leave alone the Godfather.

Well, worst case, I'd be fine being a vanilla mafioso.. !

Thanks for being so understanding and willing, guys! I realized very shortly after the game started how overpowered the role was with this ratio, and later I noticed that if you guys managed to hit the Lovers tonight, you'd be able to tie the votes 5-5 tomorrow and win the game already, which would just be lame.

I don't want to swap it out with an especially powerful role (like the Investigator or Silencer) because I think the ratio is pretty favorable for you guys anyway, and we just had the Janitor last game. The Hooker (chance of roleblocking the Dreamer/Oracle each night) seems like the best replacement option to me since it's useful (unlike, say, the Thug) but not a game-breaker. Plus it hasn't seen much action (heh) in these games.

Also, you guys can vote on who you want to kill.

I think the Hooker is a good idea for this game -- just say that the Ballot Forger went out on the town instead of doing his job and wound up becoming a Hooker.

Anyway, something about Roxas' random vote last round struck me as odd...he has to have some time of power role if he's going to vote on nothing but intuition. Then again, he could be the Traitor. I remember back in the first Mafia game when I was a Mafioso and threw out a vote for Shadowwalked after he had claimed Doctor...and everyone ficured me out instantaneously and I was dead. Roxas seems to have done the same here -- only since no one but a lone Townie (if he is a Townie) has roleclaimed, giving Roxas plenty of people to hide behind.

Or what about Xhin? He almost voted for me but changed his mind at the last second...mayhap he's the Oracle and plans to use his powers tonight, unless he's the Dreamer and had a dream last night with me in it...

I'd like your input before I make a vote, Majora and Dooku.

Y'all are running out of time to make a kill decision (and a Hooker move). I'll give you a bit longer since I distracted you with the Ballot Forger situation, but I can't delay it too long.

You have until 2:30 my time (PST) to get your actions in or they will be forfeited.

Ack, yikes.

I vote we kill Roxas. He's a good player.

And give us a hooker (lol), I think we all agree on that!

The town's doing a nice bit of work for us.

I'll say. The way this round is progressing, I wouldn't be surprised if Thunder was the next to die.

You may now vote on who you want to kill and use your Hooker powers.

Well then, this is a debacle...I mean, I feel like Hezy presents us the biggest threat, but based on what happened last game, I worry that if we kill him suddenly the town will turn on me since he suspected me last round.

Dooku, Majora, what do you think? And who should we use Hooker powers on? Last thing we need to do is kill the person we use the Hooker powers on -- we need to ensure those are two different people.

Unless we Hooker someone tonight and kill them tomorrow...or maybe that works better with the Silencer. I remember in...what was it, Game 2?...when I was the Silencer and we silenced Hezy in one round, then killed him the next. We could do that here with the Hooker powers -- albeit it wouldn't work as well since whomever we Hooker'd would still be able to talk next round.

I'd say Hooker hezekiah and kill FAW. She tends to fly under the radar and I'd prefer not to have to argue the town into lynching her later.

February 17, 2013
Edit
Count Dooku

That is a good idea. Hell, if FAW is one of the Lovers, we've won the game. And it prevents me from looking suspicious if Hezy dies. If FAW isn't one of the Lovers and the game continues, I say Hezy dies tomorrow -- especially if the Town becomes suspicious of us.

February 17, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

I was actually going to suggest killing FAW tonight as well. I'll go along with hookering hezekiah too.

Anyone besides Jo Nathan that pushed for lynching WT particularly hard?

February 17, 2013

Count Dooku

I'm concerned Castrael is the traitor, for some reason.

February 17, 2013
Edit
Count Dooku

I'm more inclined to believe Chief is the Traitor, especially after that first post this round.

February 18, 2013
Edit
Black Yoshi

Yeah, I think siding with chief will be easier for a lynch anyway.

February 18, 2013
Edit
Count Dooku

I think once this round's over this game is ours. If Chief's not the Traitor, that is.

February 20, 2013

Black Yoshi

You may now select who you want to kill.

Damn, did not see that one coming.

Anyway, I'm hesitant on taking out Hezy -- after all, he could be lying just so we won't kill him tonight. I'm almost sold on taking out Chief, though.

As for the Hooker, I think we should sic her power on Castrael tonight -- I feel that she may be the Oracle.

My kill vote goes to Chief; I cannot make the final call on Hooker powers, so we await Majora's decision on that.

February 20, 2013

Black Yoshi

I'll vote to kill chiefsonny. I believe hezekiah is the traitor because he'd have no reason to lie about it. If he wasn't the traitor, then tying the vote would have a 75% chance of making the town lose right away, and would not put the town in a good position at all for the end of the game. Doing that just to give the mafia a possibility that they might kill the traitor doesn't seem smart at all.

Hooker target doesn't really matter at this point, since the Oracle role only works if they die. We're killing chiefsonny, and if he's the oracle, then we've won anyway. I'll hooker Jo Nathan though :).

February 20, 2013
Edit
MajorasMask9

Kill chiefsonny, hooker castrael. As long as hezekiah isn't lying we've got this in the bag.

February 20, 2013
Edit
Count Dooku

And lancer, it is imperative when we win the game that I kill Castrael in some inventive fashion.
