Lightning Mafia - Halloween Edition [Game Over]

[S~V~S]

As my parting goodbye, remember: SVS is bad.

And a reminder that traps are NOT bad things.

They can be. In Python, when Made sais something suspicious, you set him up a bit, and I went and found that what he said was true, and I said so, you got annoyed at me for wrecking your trap. And he wound up flipping civ. So traps are not civvie minded IMO, since they can trap civs as well as baddie. Traps are more of a baddie thing to me.

And I am not bad. You can't read me to save your life.

[Marmot]

Thanks for the game, MM! I had a lot of fun.

Thanks. I am having a ton of fun observing.

[fingersplints]

Just a thought, we are wearing costumes of ourselves, but underneath, behind our facades, we are who we really are. Every thing is clear when the mask are gone... that's pretty deep...

Join me at the zombie bar, Made? I like the cut of your pseudo-philosophical jib.

Do we have a zombie bar thread here?!?! That was the best on STV/HV

Yeah...good times.

Sorry Llama, but I fight back if being wrongly lynched, that said, unless the blocker/protector do a good job tonight, we might be screwed.

Yeah, i said "we" Epi.

[Roxy]

I have to cook the fish now so I won't be here for about 15 minutes. Voted for llama. I think that trap stuff is a sham.

here is her vote post splints

I am about to go to my brothers and start playing on my tablet. So I might run a bit late.

[juliets]

Juliets - you are hardly questioning anything - you are not looking at both sides - I do not understand you this game.

i just now got back from finishing cooking dinner. I'm sorry llama was a civ.

EBWOP What's for dinner?

[Marmot]

Fearing the worst, you all run home to dump your sweets and congregate again. Looking around, your fears were correct. juliets is no longer with you.

juliets has been killed by the baddies.

And with that, both Epignosis and Roxy strip their masks, and chase SVS and fingersplints down the street, their screams mingling with the shrieks of the ghouls and ghosts wandering about.


GAME OVER. THE BADDIES HAVE WON. ROXY AND EPIGNOSIS ARE YOUR CHAMPIONS.

re snapper, broccoli with cheese, and rice

[thellama73]

Wat, there are still two civs and two baddies left. Why is it game over?

[fingersplints]

I protect you Rox you jerk

[Roxy]

*high fives*

[thellama73]

Do tied lynches no result in a death?

[juliets]

yayayayay congrats epi and roxy

[thellama73]

I knew you were bad, Roxy. Rob surprised me.

[fingersplints]

I protect you Rox you jerk

protected even

I'm not sure why it's over. That was definitely not the combo I was expecting though good game guys

[Roxy]

I protect you Rox you jerk

<3 I lub u tho

[fingersplints]

I knew you were bad, Roxy. Rob surprised me.

Mine is the other way around I thought it was juliets and Epi. but I wasn't good at picking the baddies this game. that first round threw me off

[Made]

Ok, SVS, really tho, Game mechanics on a new game gets me lynched???

[S~V~S]

Sorry I was wrong about you Juliet's but I am pleased I was right about Epi.

[thellama73]

I knew you were bad, Roxy. Rob surprised me.

Oh, I was absolutely terrible. It wasn't until after I had died that I realized about Roxy.

I think these sort of lightning games are REALLY hard for the civs, since there is so little to go on.

[juliets]

i protected you SVS the first night

[Roxy]

I knew you were bad, Roxy. Rob surprised me.

jk were you not mentioning it to help the civ's?

[S~V~S]

For a day one vote I thought it was better than random

[thellama73]

I realized it immediately after I died. :P

For future games, I think the Meta will require Civvies to ignore arguments that come at the last 10 minutes, as it seems things said towards the end get votes consistently.

[Marmot]

Do tied lynches no result in a death?

No, they would be decided randomly.

But this is a mafia background that I'm used to. If there are equal number mafia and civs at the start of a day phase, then mafia wins. Even if it was a no death, the civs have 0 chance at that point.

[Roxy]

sorry I always wanted to use that vid clip for something llama

One thing I hate is the way everone piles on. The first two people to get votes are almost always the top vote getters. Come up with your own opinions, people!

I think not having any abilities at first hindered us too. Not that that is MM's fault. Just something to keep in mind for the next one.
I hate being a vanilla civvie And that whole first night we had no block/protect/check anything so really nothing to help us but our bad lynches.

[Made]

oh, and btw, the day after thanksgiving doesn't work for me, black friday shoping, plus it's always the day we put up the chirstmas tree.

[fingersplints]

Also I think i would prefer to have had the linkitis feature. It took me longer to scroll back up and figure out where I had left off then it would have to reviewed what was posted quick.

Civilians

SVS

Baddies

Epignosis
Roxy



Night 1

MP blocked fingers
juliets protected SVS
Epi killed MP (taking the roleblock with him)

Night 2

fingersplints protected Roxy
Epi killed juliets



And that was that.

[thellama73]

Flase. If SVS and Splints voted for Roxy and Rox and Epig voted for SVS, and the ranomizer picked Rox, the night phase would have started 2 civs, 1 baddie. The civs could have been protected or the baddies could have ben blocked, and even if not, the following day lynch would have been a 1 v. 1 tie, which could have gone to the civs. Unlikely, but greater than 0 by a wide margin.

[fingersplints]

oh there were some abilities night 1 just not many :/

Agreed.

[Epignosis]

When I first heard of it, I didn't think this model would be very fun. I had a ball, MM. Thanks for hosting and asking me to play.

[thellama73]

If MP had the role block, why did he flip vanilla?

(sorry if it sounds like I'm nit picking. I had a great, great time. Just curious.)

[fingersplints]

lol Rox that is the greatest.

[Made]

personally, I prefer scrolling up to being stuck in linki hell, but that's just me.

This is as basic as mafia can get, though the rotating roles were an extra flavor SVS had suggested.

Normally, 7 civilians would be ideal, because you then at least get a Day 3 (assuming you don't lynch 2 baddies before that) With this setup, it is almost an equal chance of victory for either side.

With how rapid the game progressed, reading players is difficult. Often you have to resort to gut, because you're too busy reading posts and responding to do any effective scumhunting. But again, finding a good strategy to find baddies like this would work too. These are my thoughts anyway.
