If you can't tell, I had a lot of fun. You basically made a playable Danganrompa. We had clever scheming, people trying to escape, people trying to kill, and plenty of surprise twists. It was great :D

Be proud of yourself Meph, few could have achieved something like this.

Being at the end, I'm left with a few questions though. Some for you and some for the other players.

For Meph

I was surprised to learn that you didn't intentionally place the spaceship repair ad to clue us into the fact that we could try to use it to escape and likewise interact with the world. Did you have any escape possibility in mind initially or did you just make a world a try to see what your crazy players would come up with?

Building off of that first question, how did you expect this to play out? Did you expect us to escape together? Did you expect us to play to the last man? Which people did you think were most likely to win? Were you expecting us to annihilate each other and leave no victor behind?

For the players

This is my first time surviving to the end of a mafia game, and I'm curious to hear what you guys thought of me as a player? When I looked through the dead chat I saw a lot of hate (You could say I was quite the heel), but in the end we managed to make it out together and I think I played an important roll in that. How do you feel? What did you think of the big speech I made in Day 3? It sure shocked a lot of people.



Now it's time for the poster idea. I'm putting my 200KOR into something like this:


The bloody corpses of Trickmagic, Iceytea, and Luckyowl are in a trail behind me.

I am right behind Jim wearing Ghandi robes and holding a blood-stained conscientious objector in a readied stance. Ready to swing it and clobber him with it while he smugly savours the spotlight, unaware of what's about to happen to him.

You shouldn't have turned your back on your teammates Jim.



One thing that became clear to me while looking back through the posts is that I was a massive hypocrite. Killing LuckyOwl and then telling everyone to stop doing wanton murder was comedy gold. In spite of that, I genuinely did play an important role in keeping the peace. I wanted to represent that in the poster somehow.

Plus revenge against Jim is oh so sweet!

Nice summary Heydude. I'm sure Jim will post the rest when he has time. Webadict is setting up BYOR15 so I don't know if he will.

Upupupu.

I'll put the Bastard Paranormal up into signups today and let it run through the weekend and hopefully get started by Monday.
It's not a long game if things go as I expect they will. But I think people will have a ton of fun with it.
You be the judge.

This is my first time surviving to the end of a mafia game, and I'm curious to hear what you guys thought of me as a player?
Wow really? Congratulations! I've never played with you before so starting in a SK bastard was spooky.

You sure killed a lot of people though. When IcyTea came up dead too I was 50/50 on you working with Jim immediately. Funny enough your cooperation would come right afterwards.

One thing that became clear to me while looking back through the posts is that I was a massive hypocrite. Killing LuckyOwl and then telling everyone to stop doing wanton murder was comedy gold. In spite of that, I genuinely did play an important role in keeping the peace. I wanted to represent that in the poster somehow.
*kills Tricmagic*
Don't kill me guys it was justified!
*kills IcyTea*
We need to work together!
*kills Luckyowl*
No more killing!

Highest kill count, and you survived! A murdering wordsmith at work.

I just made a world and was open to what people wanted to do. I fully expected someone to contact the outside world, but was more thinking along the lines of the bounty hunter contact than the repair station. But I found Jim calling the repair station to be a brilliant idea!

Well, like Toonyman points out, I kinda expected way more people to die Night 1 when I first set it up. I honestly expected at least one plasma bomb to go off! But people were very anti-killing that first day, so I was reevaluating. I was even prepared to launch the Day 2 rules changes Day 1 if it looked like a suicide-pact was going to happen.

Beyond that, I wasn't sure what would happen starting day 2. I certainly expected some people to work out that they had more options, given that it was a bastard. So things like Web wiring up a plasma bomb to the life support wasn't too surprising. I expected more traps and the like, and less concentrated 'we need to get out of here'. I also expected at least one or two people to go hard on the stated win condition.

What actually happened was fascinating!

Fortunately for me, I've been DMing for decades now and am very used to just doing a lot of improv to keep the game going and fun.

So, bonus for everyone, you now know a bit of what it's like being in a D&D game of mine! (Without the PvP part, anyway. That's all Mafia.)

I honestly think ToonyMan is right. If people had different wincons or were different starting points, it likely would have devolved. Unknowns make people paranoid, so if at the beginning of the game, the Intel had different types of Exterminator (Don't even have to name them, just put Type A, Prototype, Weapons Spec, etc.) and different starting points, the game would have been massively confusing.

Basically, I only tried to break out because the game was unwinnable to play normally. Symmetry broke the possibility to win because everyone would assume I was nefarious and kill me. So, I had to win through unconventional wincon.

I should remind/reiterate just for posterity (people seem to understand) that ALL bids will 'win', just the amount will relate to its' relative representation.

I don't remember, but I think I have access to Jim's account. Can I use Jim's money to buy stuff?

Hmm, I'll let the host answer that.

Hmm. No, I don't think so. He gave you the passcode to his communicator in case he died, but I don't think he just gave you access to account itself. So, not without getting his communicator off of him.

Also depends on whether or note roseheart is taking the money as soon as it is pledged or if the pledge is a promise.

If he's taking it as soon as it is pledged, then there is no more money for you to use to buy stuff with.
