Posted April 21, 2013 by `Roxas`

Congratulations! You have been the unlucky souls chosen to take on the town!

Helius, you are the beloved Godfather. As you already know, you will show up as Innocent on Commissioner checks!

Kyon and The Bandit, you are the Godsons. As such, you are just starting to learn the ropes of how the life of crime works. Each night, you will be given a skill set. These skill sets will be determined at random, and you can only have one at a time!

Lastly, dear chiefsonny, you are the Mafioso. You are the grunt of the group. No special powers, no nothin'!

Unless one of the Godsons dies... then he takes their place. Nifty!

Using the skill set table:

The Bandit is granted the power of... The Trickster! This is the rarest and perhaps most powerful skill set. Use it well!

Kyon is given the power of the Godfather! Nice!

This is my suggested kill list:

Night 4: Hezekiah
Night 5: MM9
Night 6: FAW

Feel my pain... I've been in 10 games or so and never got a power role.

That's just a dummy thread so people don't look at the list and see people missing from the name threads and say "hey, these guys don't have their own thread! They're definitely Mafia!" You can't see inside that thread unless we change your role from Mafia to chiefsonny, in which case you couldn't see this role anymore.

We need to know the night action order.

Night actions order is important for us to know with all these special packs floating around.

And normally there is no kills on night one.

@Helius, I would add white lancer to that list. He's better at this game then he would want you to believe.

We haven't yet determined that, but since there are no kills that will be processed, all actions will be performed.

@Kyon and Bandit, will you elect to use your skill sets tonight?

`Roxas`

How.

April 21, 2013

Just say you want to use the set, and BAM, it will be processed at Night's end (around 1 am EST; 12 CST).

April 21, 2013

`Roxas`

i want to use the set

April 21, 2013

Kyon

As far as my strategy goes, I'll probably wind up doing what I did last game... it would look suspicious otherwise since I'm town friendly. Anything other than that... gets me killed.

April 21, 2013
Edit
Helius

Well, I'm sorry to be the one to take a piss in our sandbox.

But with a 14 to 4 advantage and two townsided roles that can do a night kill, for the mafia to win this game is going to take a hell of a lot of luck.

I knew this when I read that `Roxas` had agreed to use all the things Trever talked about in the Mod forum. This should imo have been posted in the Mafia Thread before ever being used.

April 21, 2013
Edit
chiefsonny
 

Ideally. The problem with something like this though is that the game has already started. People generally do not like Resets. Nor do we like bugs in this game. I feel that if all the name posts have the same message in them, this will probably be a quick game. The town could win easily.

April 21, 2013
Edit
Helius

Not asking for a restart.

But that said it should not have been started in this way. Made a post about it in the Mod forum.

Only one of them has the night kill, not including power packs which are determined at random. We downgraded the power of the Commissioner to that of a simple Cop, just with a bigger and shinier badge.

April 22, 2013
Edit
`Roxas`

It should be remembered that the town could get the "bad" which have a fairly high probability compared to the more useful ones. In addition, given that most of these players are more experienced, most of them are unlikely to make blind shots with their kills too much - while the Mafia has nothing to lose with randomly selecting a target to kill. Even if they do end up using those powers, they could end up doing part of your job for you.

Also, you guys got the Trickster skill set on Night 0 and that's the rarest Mafia skill set. I wouldn't count the Mafia out yet.

April 22, 2013
Edit
Trever Leingod

Also, you guys got the Trickster skill


Which is good as long as the person that has it is active.

Agreed. But can't help that now

April 22, 2013

Yeah what a pity, you guys get it first night and Bandit didn't show. (horror) I wonder if he was expecting that Global announcement. I did put up the game had started in the games tab but he may not be used to that yet.

April 22, 2013
Edit
Trever Leingod

Well, regardless, we'll move on. I'm already trying to get Dooku. {shy} Unfortunately, he's a really good player and must die. I'm an even better Mafioso... and I must survive.

April 22, 2013
Edit
Helius

So he just took Redack's place under the guillotine huh? {:P}

April 22, 2013
Edit
Trever Leingod

Well, I point out a valid reason why he wouldn't want to do that. It would narrow down the vanilla townies considerably, which wouldn't be bad for us, but it was a mistake. Something that can be used against him in upcoming discussions.

But yes... he just took Redack's place.

How do I trickster.

April 23, 2013
Edit
Kyon

You do not have the power of the Trickster. If and when you do receiver the Trickster skill, you simply name a role (Godfather, Godson, Mafioso, Commissioner, Governor, Dragon, Townie) and that role (or random player that has that role) will be silenced.

April 24, 2013
Edit
`Roxas`

Bandit got the power last night, but sadly he didn't get here in time to use it. You had the power of the Godfather last night, so if the cop ended up checking you last night, he would think you are innocent.

April 24, 2013
Edit
Trever Leingod

Tonight's skill set:

The Bandit gets the Janitor skill set!

Kyon can try out the Hypnotist skill set!

In the case The Bandit remains a no-show for whatever reason, chiefsonny may use his skill set instead so the Mafia don't get screwed over.

So who are you gonna kill tonight, men?

April 24, 2013
Edit
Trever Leingod

I'm going for Lancer or Speed.

April 24, 2013

Helius, you have any contact info for Bandit? I just did a post search and it seems he hasn't posted anywhere for about a week.

Yep, like I said, he hasn't posted anywhere in about a week.

Make a kill vote, gents.

April 24, 2013
Edit
Trever Leingod

I'm leaving home around 1PM EST. I will not have computer access (Tending bar at VFW) until around 9PM EST tonight.

So if allowed I will vote to kill Count Dooku but you can change my vote if the other Mafia members agree on someone else.

Also if the Janitor skill set is passed on to me, I elect to use it to hide the body of our kill.

April 24, 2013
Edit
chiefsonny
 

As it stands, chief's vote for Dooku is the only official vote to kill. Just a little over three hours left.

April 24, 2013
Edit
`Roxas`

Dooku it is!

April 24, 2013
Edit
Helius

Hrm. He had a medpack.

Well, if he has his way, my stay here will be premature.

However, if I have punched enough holes in his plan, then I stay around.

Helius

I hope you can stay around. As it is looks like we only have 2 1/2 active Mafia.

They have 10 Packs. We have 7 Skills of which only 3 are any good. And one Mafia member that has not posted at all.

I've played in every game and this is imo the most one sided game we've had. There should have been at least 5-6 mafia.

So as I said before the mafia won't last long, and if you go, that be be the nail in the coffin.

And what bothers me is that once Dooku gets on a player like this he doesn't let up.

    If the day round should end. I vote for Dooku unless other mafia want someone else and then I will support them.

    Excellent! I figured that was the case Bandit - heck finals had me losing sleep.

    Oh yeah, Dooku is definitely very aggressive this game; he might have picked up heightened investigative skills after hosting a game.

    Helius

    If I were a townie, I would think you just made a bit of a mistake and that you weren't Mafia, but merely having your words nitpicked like what happens to me often enough. It's one of those times where the person has the right instinct, even if their reasoning isn't even relatively damning to their victim.

    April 27, 2013
    Edit
    Trever Leingod

    Well MM9 has already changed his vote to Helius and in doing so has started a bandwagon effect. So unless we get damned lucky, we'll be down to 3 after this day round ends.

    MM9 has to be our kill choice tonight if Helius gets lynched. He's a much better player than Dooku and has also been a host.

    April 27, 2013
    Edit
    chiefsonny
     

    Yeah. Might as well, throw the towel in on this one... I should have just remained silent. Oh, well.

    April 27, 2013
    Edit
    Helius

    The ONLY hope I have is the Governor at this point, but I'm betting that it is someone who has played Governor before.

    If I shall die, I have one request... that when I die, there is a note that is left behind that states:

    "Dearest Dooku,

    Well played, sir. Although, I do not doubt that if I had retained my miranda rights, I would still be here. You may have gotten lucky with me, but you will not find my associates so easily."

    April 27, 2013

    Throw us a bone and give us some good powers tonight, Trever.

    April 27, 2013

    I must cover my own tracks...heh..

    April 27, 2013
    Edit
    Kyon

    The only skill that's going to help us is the Assassin skill so we can take out both MM9 and Dooku at the same time.
    And with our luck, one will have a med pack

    I say we kill hezekiah because his thread his higher than ours.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    The Bandit

    hezekiah's not a threat yet. Dooku, MM9 and I now think it should be Dooku first, because he will play this for all it's worth.

    If we get the Trickster skill we can silence MM9 and kill Dooku. If we get really lucky and get 2 kills, well that speaks for itself.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    chiefsonny
     

    Dooku, if Helius is guilty and you get targeted, I will save you


    How does Feral know he can do this before the night round starts? Does he have a med pack he has not used?

    Hell, lucks not going to help. With them getting those fucking packs like candy at Halloween, and their overwhelming numbers, the Mafia was doomed to lose from day one.

    I have a good idea. Let's not do a kill tonight, all of us Mafia role claim the next day round, and put this dumb fucking game out of it's misery.

    I don't want any of us to look like quitters. But this game is so ridiculously overpowered in favor of the town that it's laughable.

    Well I understand and agree, but that said lets give it at least another day round to see how it plays out.

    If I had know it was going to be this overpowering for one side, I would have said the hell with my record of playing in every game and would not have signed up.

    When you have 18 people sign up and only give one side 4 members and no 3rd party players to help equal things out it makes for a very uneven game.

    So does this mean we can take out 3 people tonight, or did all of the town get med packs?

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    chiefsonny
     

    Taking out Dooku would be great, but Feral will probably protect him, although in prior games Feral always protected himself first.

    And Feral may just be playing head games with us, although I doubt he would put a target on his own back.

    I'll be back later with my thoughts on who we should try to kill with a "emphasis" on try.

    You guys need to stay active this night round. If we decided to role claim later, at least we got a lick or two in.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    chiefsonny
     

    Yes, you can potentially make 3 kills tonight.

    Town packs are not being doubled currently, so if more than one person has a Med Kit it's because they withheld it.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    Trever Leingod

    But there are more than one given out each night.

    First night Dooku got one and used it on himself. Feral told us he would use his to protect Dooku in the last day round, which means he had to have gotten it the previous night.

    So counting Feral's and whatever is given out tonight there could be 3 or more townies with a Med Kit.

    I also have my doubts that these are random. That the Host gives Kits and Skills to who he wants.

    I say this because as soon as other Mafia members started to realize how one sided this game is, we get to Assassin skill sets.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    chiefsonny
     

    I'm here yo. I was just teasing about hezekiah. I'm all for killing Dooku, but he's obviously super likely to be protected by a doctor thing. I'd like to get all three kills if possible.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    The Bandit

    If it's not random, I'm not complaining. Hopefully Trever is doing the random stuff in a way that can be verified later on though.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    The Bandit

    Not knowing how many Med Kits are active, trying to kill Dooku, Feral, MM9 is probably not a good idea.

    Although I would love to waste Dooku. He's become way too arrogant this game for me.

    I'll throw these names out and get your thoughts

    Jo-Nathan
    Speed Bike Pro
    Hezekiah
    FAW

    They are probably not power roles, but I don't think anyone will suspect that we would go for any of them. Hezy, maybe. But not the others.

    Thoughts

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    chiefsonny
     

    I want to take out Dooku really badly, but tbh @ the kill maybe not going through.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    Kyon

    Jo Nathan is a pretty strong player from what I remember. He picked off Helius this game just as quickly as Dooku did. I'd put him down as a definite kill. I also remember FAW being pretty good. I don't have any thoughts on the other two.

    white lancer is another strong player who is laying low this game, which is pretty uncharacteristic of him. I think he might have said something about being busy, but I would like to go ahead and take him out too. In fact, unless anyone has good reason not to, I'm going to go ahead and make him my assassin pick just in case I miss the deadline. I should still be around for more discussion, but better safe than sorry.

    April 28, 2013

    The Bandit

    @The Bandit, you need to pick who you want for the group Mafia kill, in case you don't get back.

    We have about 20 hours left.

    April 28, 2013
    Edit
    chiefsonny
     

    The sets are being done randomly with a programmed Excel spreadsheet, but usually if a double occurs for the town I save the pick higher up and reshuffle the lower one.

    I would have done the same for the Mafia, but considering your kill last night failed and you already lost the Godfather, and the fact you weren't able to use the Trickster you guys got on Night 0, I cut you guys a break with the double Assassin sets. I am trying to keep things as fair as possible for both sides.

    There's a fox in the hen house boys and girls. And I'll come right out and say it.

    This game was slated for the town to win from the very start.

    @Kyon, don't forget to vote for me.

    I'd vote for you, but I'll be using my Dead Pack{fp}

    So you guys are between killing Jo and Hezzy for your mandatory night kill but we need an official vote on who... and do you guys wish to use your Assasin powers tonight?

    Prods us without reading the thread, but fails to explain that we're using the roles wrong. Excellent hosting.
