mafia game x the end her majesty

Posted August 27, 2012 by hezekiah

The End

Despite flirtations with success, the town found themselves swayed by the mafia's arguments. They lynched Jo Nathan, the Townie. With equal numbers, CtR Black and Count Dooku was able to easily dispatch of Frustro and Female Alpha Wolf and have the town to themselves.

Roster
1. Yeano - Mafioso
2. White Thunder - Drug Dealer
3. chiefsonny - Orange Agent
4. Feral - Townie
5. white lancer - Townie
6. Frustro - Distracted Doctor
7. Kyon - Double-Voter
8. CtR Black - Lazy Janitor
9. Xhin - Townie
10. Count Dooku - Mafioso
11. MajorasMask9 - Townie
12. `Roxas` - Evil Twin
13. Black Yoshi - Thug
14. Trever Leingod - Townie
15. Zanic - Good Twin
16. Female Alpha Wolf - Double-Voter
17. Redack - Gambler
18. Jo Nathan - Townie
19. Shadowwalked - Townie

Final Mafia-Town ratio: 2-2
Lazy Janitor, Thug, Mafioso x 2, Evil Twin, Good Twin, Distracted Doctor, Drug Dealer, Double-Voter x 2, Orange Agent, Gambler, Townie x 6

One of the best games we've had in a while IMO because the end result really wasn't a foregone conclusion up until Frustro turned on Jo Nathan in the last round. Huge props especially to the last three Mafia members who managed to survive for quite a while while getting innocent Townies knocked off via lynch, despite the fact that power players like Majora were still in the game--that's really not easy!

And don't be too hard on yourselves, FAW, Frustro, and JN. The Mafia managed to outplay you, but they outplayed a lot of people for a long time and it's no shame to lose the way you did--more credit goes to the Mafia's good playing than to the Town's bad playing IMO.

Good playing everyone. Yes, that includes you, Jo Nathan. At least everyone else can pat themselves on the back because they didn't lead the lynch towards innocent townies.

Twice.

Jo Nathan

Also, I think hezy deserves some credit because his game was more well-balanced than most recent games, since it avoided overpowered roles (like my Sensor :-/) and had enough ambiguity among the roles to make role-claiming impractical. Initially I thought the game might be too far on the Mafia's side, but it's generally better to err on the side of the Mafia's advantage than it is to err on the Town's side because the Mafia have a tougher role all-around. I don't think this wound up being too off-balanced anyway because the Mafia didn't really have any super-powerful roles either.

Haha, don't worry about that, Frustro. It's actually quite rare for a Doctor to successfully protect anyone other than themselves because they don't have as much information as the Mafia does (so it's quite possible for the Doctor to protect a Mafia member). The Distracted Doctor role is a little different cause you can't just protect yourself over and over like the normal Doctor can, but predicting Mafia kills isn't easy.

That being said, AGH! I can't believe how close I was to getting the protection and actually surviving that first night!

Both FAW and Frustro have proved themselves to be strong players in their first game. Bravo, bravo.

August 27, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Frustro, honestly I think your Doctoring was better than most we see here.

True, you didn't guess anyone right, but that's why the mafia picked the people that we did. We were picking people that we didn't expect you to save fairly often.

Often, we'll see a doctor save himself over and over again day after day (or, in this game, you could have done it every other day). What you did is more honorable, in any event.

Eh I think I could have done better if I stuck to my gut instincts more. I think we could have won the game if I did.

But it was my first game and I wouldn't mind playing again :D

@ FAW, Frustro, and JN

It's a game guys. We're here to have fun. A lot of us bitch when things don't go the way we think they should, but that's also part of the game.

I had never played Mafia until Yeano brought it to GTx.0 (Thanks dude) and it took me 3 games before I felt comfortable, not good, just comfortable.

So you guys have nothing to be apologetic for or feel bad about and I hope I see all three of you signed up for the next game.:D

Mafia. You guys played a almost perfect game and a great game. Congrats to everyone.

Townies. We'll get next time guys.{:P}
Congrats. Good game.

Which ever of you two Mafia's brainstormed the idea to kill me, you have NO IDEA how lucky the decision turned out to be. I was ready to bull's eye you two that last day. Yeah, I played a shitty game, but i HAD it the night I died. Check out the dead thread for my deductions.

Hopefully, next game I will be much more active and not nearly so distracted. If you will excuse me, I have to catch-up on the catch-phrase contest now.

Well that's a good thing. If we could edit in Mafia I would remove your name from my post.{:P}

August 27, 2012

And in case anybody from the Dead Thread was wondering about the list I was referring to and either skimmed over the Mafia thread or haven't got to it yet, here it is again:

1. MajorasMask9
2. Shadowwalked
3. Xhin
4. white lancer
5. Redack
6. chiefsonny
7. White Thunder
8. Trever Leingod
9. Zanic (bare minimum is here)
10. Feral
11. Female Alpha Wolf
12. Frustro
13. Jo Nathan
14. Kyon

Players 1-6 were considered High Priority Kills (HPKs), 7-10 were considered Mid Priority Kills (MPKs), and players 11-14 were considered Low Priority Kills (LPKs). HPKs, I felt, were town-sided players that would give the Mafia the most trouble. MPKs were town-sided players who could pose a threat, but weren't quite at HPK level. LPKs were sorted into their group based on their lack of in game experience here at GTx0 (FAW and Frustro) or because the game experience those players have had didn't provide a good sense of how they play. No offense was to be directed at LPKs, just a lack of information to go off of in your playing styles.

I intend for my playing style to take a different shape in the next game. If there's anything I've learned from this last one, it's that I over-over-analyzed things and worried too much about hypothetical hypotheticals. Like Inception, but with paranoia.

I dunno. I have a headache. Time to go home and have a beer. I had a blast with you guys and you can count me in on Game 11!

@Dooku- Read through the Mafia thread. You got me! I guess revenge is a dish best served cold, huh? {troll}

August 27, 2012

Feral

Heh. I love how I'm lower on that list than Xhin (who did more damage to the Town than half the Mafia) and Shadow (who was MIA most of the game). And yet somehow that still didn't help me survive the first night. :'(

LMAO OMG. I have been banging my head against the desk every damn day for that. As soon as Day 2 opened, I was practically banshee-wailing at how horrible that was on my part.

Heh, given how suspicious I was of Yeano at that point, the game may have taken a very different turn had I survived, but Redack was not a bad choice to protect that night. Reading over the Mafia thread, he appears to have been one of the top targets for the Mafia in that first night (along with myself and MM9) so your guess wasn't too far off. Redack also thought he'd get taken out that night (and he told me so via AIM).

That's the whole Wine In Front Of Me (WIFOM) scenario Yeano was talking about in the Mafia thread. Happens to the best of us, but I'm glad you're in for the next game! :)

You know I chuckled at that part. Vengeance for Lancer! XD

Personally I think the new players played well. When you're new you kinda look to the veteran plays a bit because they're more familiar with strategies and play styles of the other players, so really it was the experienced players that did badly (looking at MM9 and Xhin... I told you to lynch Yeano so many times!).

August 27, 2012
Edit
Redack

Oh, and by the way, HUGE props to Chiefsonny for an amazing feat after his death. When asked by Roxas in the dead thread to guess the last three Mafia, he guessed ALL THREE RIGHT!

Roxas: I'd like to hear Zanic, lancer, and chief's thoughts on who the remaining three Mafia are.


Chief: Count Dooku, CtR Black and either Yeano or Frustro.


August 27, 2012
Edit
Feral

Reading over the Mafia thread, I guess Yeano wasn't exactly the evil overlord mastermind behind everything as I thought. They all masterminding. (suprised)

Most definitely count me in for another game. The paranoia, gambits, and crazy detective work - fun times all around!

August 27, 2012
Edit
Frustro

Speaking of Yeano, you got to admit he played one hell of a game. I know he's a very experienced player, but since this was his first time playing here, I didn't know what to expect.

Then when I started reading his post I kept thinking to myself (man this guy could talk the brass bra off a marble statue), he had some people believing every word he said.{:P}

Know what to expect now.

Yeano was definitely MVP for the mafia, he played an excellent game.

Count Dooku

Even though no one listened to him, I would have to give the Town MVP spot to Redack. His theories and suspicions were right on the money.

August 27, 2012

I always thought Yeano was mafia but in the third day round I had to change my vote off of him because no one else was following suit... and then I was lynched for it...

I'd say second best behind Xhin for non-Mafia, Mafia (as in, beneficial to the Mafia win) players this game.

August 27, 2012
Edit
`Roxas`

Yeah. Xhin definitely earned that spot.

August 28, 2012
Edit
Zanic

Lol we've trashed him enough, give him some credit for helping with the Yoshi lynch at least.

August 28, 2012
Edit
White Thunder

Yeah, Xhin wasn't THAT bad. I mean, lynching WT was a pretty poor move all around but he didn't do that alone and the only other major thing he did wrong was make himself look suspicious enough to get the lynch.

August 28, 2012
Edit
white lancer

After we lynched Xhin, I figured I had put myself in the same boat as him and I let this cause me to panic. I really should have given myself more time to think and collect myself before jumping into that last round.

Something just occurred to me - I had said the Mafia was making an easy target out of Black Yoshi... in a way, I was right. (suprised)

August 28, 2012
Edit
Jo Nathan

Damn, I wish I hadn't opened my big mouth in that second round, else I would've been alive at least a few rounds longer...knowing my luck as Mafia, I probably would have taken the kill on Day 3 anyway.

That said, awesome game everyone. I wish I could get in on the next one, but with school starting next week and rehearsals already on Thursday, I won't be able to play until at least Christmastime, since that'll be the only break I get this school year that isn't full of music tours and schoolwork.

August 28, 2012
Edit
Black Yoshi

I also will not be able to play again for a while, most likely.

Grad school is a lot of work, in case you weren't already aware of this obvious fact.

August 28, 2012
Edit
Yeano

Hey, I did help target Black Yoshi too. And CtR Black, but that never panned out.

The mafia played an excellent game. What Yeano and Count Dooku did near the end were especially awesome.

I will continue playing by my strategy, because in lieu of a cop/sensor there's really nothing to go on besides elaborate detective work or random voting. So yeah, I got White Thunder wrong, but what you guys are missing is that I proved the innocence of Frustro, Trever Leingod, MM9, and proved the guilt of Black Yoshi. 4/5 isn't bad at all.

August 28, 2012

Even though there was no way to actually prove that Frustro and MM9 were definitely innocent until the end.

The interaction between the Drug Dealer, Orange Agent and mafia was glorious. Had the Drug Dealer not targeted anyone, chief and CtR would've died with no bodies hidden. Real unlucky night, that was. I am, however, glad that Thunder didn't target Zanic the night he died, as it would've been more challenging for me to figure out how to resolve the Good Twin's death as affected by the DD.

I think we need to do something about those 30-50 minute rounds. Even if it's the Last Day Round and the out come is known. I think that the 1st day in a day round should be at least a 24 hour min. I think someone else also expressed the same thing.

Just noticed Yeano did not get any points because he is(n/a (executive host) ).

I don't think that's fair. He was playing as a player and played one hell of a game. I think if he steps out of his role as executive host and someone else is hosting, he should be entitled to points like any other player. I think he should get at least 3-4 points.

Great job hosting by hezy, no doubt. Best guest host we've had so far, no offense to anyone else that did it.

I did a good thing targeting a Mafia member... I was just unlucky that he was not the janitor which is what I was hoping for.

August 28, 2012
Edit
White Thunder

Honestly, I think hezy was easily the best host we've had other than Yeano. This game ran quite smoothly and I can't think of anything to complain about with it.

My continual slide down the rankings... :( I miss when I was at the top of the pile, but taking a game off to host/a series of early deaths will do that to you. I'm still a little miffed about not getting credit for my role-claiming strategy last round, but whatever. Didn't expect any points this game since I died too early to really make an impact, but it is kinda sad since it's the first game I've left empty-handed.

August 28, 2012
Edit
white lancer

Oh, and Redack's suspicions were generally on the money (he was pretty confident about both Yeano and Dooku as early as Day 1), so if Xhin gets multiple points simply for being influential (never mind that his influence wound up being detrimental to his team) then Redack deserves points for his solid ability to read people this game IMO. Maybe this is nitpicking but given that Redack correctly identified four Mafia members (including Yoshi and Roxas) fairly early on he seems out of place in the +0 points group.

August 29, 2012
Edit

I have no complaint about my score, as I played a downright shitty game.

I have to second Lancer's coments about Red. Him getting 0 points is a miscariage of justice.

I'd be willing to take another look at Redack's scoring, as it seems like there's a consensus that he should have gotten some Good Playing points.

August 29, 2012
Edit
hezekiah

I think it's worth taking another look at Redack's score. As I recall he was one of the main proponents to lynching both Roxas and Black Yoshi, and he also pushed to get rid of both Yeano and Dooku before he died. I also don't think he was involved in the lynching of any innocents as he ignored Xhin's crusade against White Thunder (and tried to convince others to do the same). IMO he played the strongest game on the Town's side and the Town probably would have won if they had listened to him instead of Xhin.
