I don't like this, Why has Mafia not stacked votes?

[notquitethere]

GAME OVER - MAFIA WIN

The remaining theocrats jostle, shoving one another into the rain. Finally, two of them grabbed Greeter Pufferfish and shoved him out. The Greeter immediately set off at a brisk run and was soon obscured in the haze of blood. He almost certainly died and the rain continued, unabated.

Pufferfish was the town cop.

The others looked uneasily at one another before being plunged into darkeness with the setting suns. Planter Makeinu rushed to grab his things. In his satchel were lead seeds, his madcap plan was to lay a trail of plantations and shield himself beneath their leaves until he was out of the danger zone. He'd be damned if he was going to be killed over an impossibull. He got as far as the back base of the skull before being captured in Baker Persus 13's gingerbread net. As he scrambled in the netting in the dark, he briefly saw the three glowing eyes of Advocate Tiruin before she snapped his neck.

Makeinu was town.

The suns came up and the blood rain continued. Intoner Superblackcat quitely sang to himself to keep awake in the long night, hiding beneath the brow in the vast skull's left eye socket. As the sun came up he was powerless to stop the remaining heretics, Baker Persus 13 and Advocate Tiruin, from completing their rites of indifference. And as the clouds finally cleared the impossibull faded from possibility, and the heretics clumped off through the mud of the mabbling plains back to the Chambers, leaving the Intoner hidden in what was now a musty alcove of a ruined temple.

No one would believe him that there was ever such a thing as an Impossibull and there was no going back to the Chambers now. So he strode off in the other direction, singing the song of a beast that never was.

The Mafia has won. They were Tiruin and Persus 13

Spoiler: Roles (click to show/hide)

Scum
Advocate Tiruin, a trusted aide to the Confessor himself, has been sent on the mission to the mambling plains to ensure that the impossibull is revived and not too many people die as a result. Secretly, the Advocate plans to do no such thing. In the course of their duties, exposed to thousands of heretical positions, the Advocate has come to abhor the fantastical and nonsensical. Together with the morose Baker Persus 13, the Advocate chanted the rite of Indifference, the first step to eliminating the impossibull from existence.

You are a Mafia goon. You win when mafia goons equal or exceed town in number. Each day that you are alive you or your fellow goon can send a PM to the mod to pick who to kill in the night. This is resolved after the lynch.

You can talk to your fellow goon in the scumchat.

Baker Persus 13, the Chief Baker of the Theocracy, responsible for the capture and interrogation of rogue gingerbreads, has lost faith in his work. An ennui anathemic to the spirit of the Age of Lead has set in. He had no wish to intone the Rites of Revival on the morrow. On the first night on arrival, together with Advocate Tiruin, the Baker chanted the Rite of Indifference in an attempt to remove the impossibull from existence.

Town
Intoner Superblackcat is a loyal member of the Theocracy, renowned for a sonorous voice and the ability to correctly pronounce the thirteen implausible phonemes. The Intoner intends to lead the Rites of Revival on the morrow, and is looking forward to hearing the words of power pour forth faithfully from their diaphram.

You are town. You win when all mafia goons are dead.

Ranger Elephant Parade, a minor member of the Gibbous Monks, was responsible for navigating the group to the right spot in the interminable mabbling plains. The Ranger is excited to see an impossibull up close and is eager to enliven it with the others.

You are town. You win when all mafia goons are dead.

Planter makeinu was weary with arguments. The Planter really just wanted to be home, tending to their lead groves. Now this drama with the impossibull! When would it end?

You are town. You win when all mafia goons are dead.

Greeter Pufferfish, nominally one of the official greeters at the Council Chamber, was secretly entrusted by the Confessor himself to root out heretics during the trip to the mambling plains. Equipped with an invisibility suit made from the wool of the pellucid llama, the Greeter intends to snoop on their fellow theocrats when they should be sleeping.

You are the town macho cop. You win when all the mafia goons are dead. At any point you may PM the mod with a name of another player that you wish to investigate. You receive the results of your investigation after the lynch. You can't be protected by the doctor.

Untangler Luke Prowler is the foremost Untangler of the Theocracy, capable of untangling strands of possibility and winding them towards more fortuitous ends. The Untangler never sleeps and his nightly routine consists on focusing on the image of a person that they wish to bless with unnatural luck.

You are the town doctor. You win when the mafia goons are dead. Each day that you are alive you can send a PM to the mod to pick who to protect in the night. If it is the same name that the mafia pick to kill and they aren't the cop, then they won't die in the night.

NQT's tips for beginners:
- Never vote for yourself, that's idiotic
- Remember that distancing is a common scum tactic
- If you've got an important role and you're about to be lynched *always* claim before you die. It's likely someone else will be lynched instead
- When in doubt, lynch Tiruin

[Superblackcat]

DAMN IT! UHHARRGHHAHUHR!

[Tiruin]

HAH
I knew Puff was the cop ever since he declared an ultimatum on that notion!

...
Was I evil? :/

Edit:

- When in doubt, lynch Tiruin

Hey! Mean. xD

EditII:
I'm really wondering why Puff didn't claim. Intuition struck you out as a cop-suspect when you replied that one note on the extreme side of suspecting anyone else as scum. :3

[notquitethere]

So, I'd say that was a success. Not in terms of town-play (poor scum-hunting ability is somewhat expected in a beginners game), but in that it was a brisk game that didn't take up people's lives for over a month on end.

[Superblackcat]

I was extremely ready to change my vote at the last second...
Because something seemed wrong...


THE MAFIA DIDN'T STACK.

Yeah, I didn't

Yeah, We lost.

PPE:

Uh, it's hard to scum hunt with super short days. I'd say to make it a bit longer, and an upwards of two weeks.

[Tiruin]

For posterity:

Of these, I feel a simpler case can be made. Tiruin has been mostly evasive and accusatory in her responses. I don't know if that's her norm in these games, but it's coming across to me as a strong scum-tell right now, and that bothers me.

Not my norm at all! If you see someone being 'evasive' (I didn't really even see myself as being evasive..at all) then poke at it!
If the accusatory remarks look more like a smokescreen than an honest-to-goodness evaluation, then speak!
I'm mighty glad you caught the scumteam and said your case from a Town point of view that dislodging most ideas in this post would be hard to do.

DAMN IT! UHHARRGHHAHUHR!

I don't like this, Why has Mafia not stacked votes?

I think you had some foresight here?

So, I'd say that was a success. Not in terms of town-play (poor scum-hunting ability is somewhat expected in a beginners game), but in that it was a brisk game that didn't take up people's lives for over a month on end.

*Self-voting~...
>_>
Luke: Post-game debriefing. Why did you do that?

Edit:
I'm really in favor of this.

Uh, it's hard to scum hunt with super short days. I'd say to make it a bit longer, and an upwards of two weeks.

Timezone difference + idea of lurking as a valid tactic over most conventional ideas (difference being No night, and rapid pace play)

[Superblackcat]

Yeah, I woke up early to check the end of the game.

I'm still hitting myself for not changing the vote.

[Tiruin]

Let's debrief you then.

Under what ideas kept you from shifting your vote? If you were going to shift it, then who would it go to and why? What doubt was present? What cases did the others present that stopped you from doing what you wanted to do? (Do note that some of these questions are related to each other and can be answered in a single statement or so).

[makeinu]

Well played to the scum team! I really believed my own arguments at the end there were right. Turns out they were half-right.

Tiruin: by the time I got that post all together, there wasn't time to press anymore. In retrospect, hindsight being 20/20, your not vote changing on D1 should have clued me in.

Pufferfish, why didn't you claim? Who had you checked?

Superblackcat, I'm used to very short (48 hours, no extends) days, so this pace felt good to me. The longer days seem to drag interminably to me.

[Tiruin]

Time ;__;

I really didn't like time and the extend limit in this case..prevented scumhunting.
...Ehh..perhaps we need to edit that note a bit more?

[Superblackcat]

Tiruin, Messing us up by voting your own partner! >: (


I probably woulda switched to you Tir Tir.

Uh, I dunno, it was a 5 minute think, and I wifomed myself back into not switching.

But Yeah, At that point. If I got about 20 more minutes, I should've been able to figure out who the mafia were just by... Looking...

Puffer isn't mafia, because mafia is voting a kill on puffer. (And if it's only 2 votes, Puffer and buddy (IF they were mafia) Woulda tied the votes and NLed).

Uh, MakeInU shouldn't be mafia, After all that's said and done, He really isn't like mafia.

Persus should be mafia, As the other person voting other than me, And no mafia stack, I'm going to guess he is.


And that leaves Tiruin. Well, It would've been a hard wifom. But I think i would've come to the conclusion that you were trying to distance yourself.

(But that's after the results were out).



Also, just a suggestion, to balance a 7/2 game, I suggest that the cop not be macho.

[notquitethere]

I'm really in favor of this.

Uh, it's hard to scum hunt with super short days. I'd say to make it a bit longer, and an upwards of two weeks.

It would hardly be a Sprint then would it? There are plenty of other mafia game modes where you play for longer stretches. If I was a player I'd have pushed for a Tiruin lynch simply for her low-suspicion count. The last person to vote is worthy of suspicion.

Also, this would have gone quite differently if Luke hadn't been so suicidal and both roles had claimed before letting themselves get lynched. Usually town players have slightly more self-preservation.

[Superblackcat]

Uhh, If we are going to keep such short times (Which is bad for town)

I really REALLY suggest non-macho cops.
