how laughable, yeah but you weren't really trying to help.. or anything. . So I had my reasoning

That's what happens when you don't get replaced when you ask for it (no blame being laid jsyk) and are therefore forced to fit mafia into a schedule mafia doesn't fit into.

You did a great job considering your circumstances Quin.

When you came in and voted I visualized speedchuck crapping his pants.

We had 3 teammates lynched in a 2-day span? How often does that happen lol.

That nutella-Simon lynch really blew up in my face.

I did a double take on seeing Nutella’s flip before googling the mafia roles and figuring out what it was. But that’s kind of hard to communicate when you’re dead. I figured Mafia was out after that but it was exciting seeing that come down to the wire.

Overall, great game. The roles were well designed and the locations dynamic made for a fun second day at least. I wish all days were that second day. No I don’t.

Oh! I have one question. Why did some people not get cursed?

Well, Glorfindel was already cursed by Long Con- he had to emphasize that he could not talk about Long Con. That never came up, so it looked like he wasn't cursed.

lapluie technically wasn't cursed because she was posting like mad before I could give her a curse. So I said, "Well, her curse will be to be the only person who can post normally."

Blocked (I think- I didn't look, but that's what I recall).

Yes. You killed yourself.

The shadows of Outworld will hide the identity of the lynch victim until the end of the next Day phase.

did I only get to know his role on time because of my power? I thought maybe it was cus I was an outworlder role, I assumed Jack was one of the civ ones and that was how he seemed to know. (though I was mostly just glad to have him off my back)

Edenia
The last Night killed person by Outworld comes back to life.

is this what happened to me?

Correct on both counts.

Locations


Prologue: In what order shall you visit the Realms?
That with the most votes is first, followed by that with the second, etc. After all realms are visited, the remainder of the phases occur in Earthrealm.

Earthrealm
The Day proceeds without incident.

Netherrealm
The dead can speak.

Outworld
The shadows of Outworld will hide the identity of the lynch victim until the end of the next Day phase.

Chaosrealm
Everyone receives a unique insanification.

Orderrealm
Lynch votes the next Day cannot be manipulated at all.

Edenia
The last Night killed person by Outworld comes back to life.

lapluie wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 10:42 pm .... I wanna know why speedchuck basically gave us an invitation to get himself killed

I'll let him field that, but it was basically dumb. He'll agree.

Another thing is that I was worried this wouldn't be a balanced setup. The civilians had like four info roles, a BTSC pair, etc etc.

On the other hand, the mafia had a seemer, role cop and power thief (all in one role!).

I am pleased that it came down to the nubbins.

I have hosted more games on this site than anybody.

That was the most fucked-up final stretch I've ever hosted.

90% bullshit. I was trying to keep Kyle alive and I knew Dave wasn't mafia (and had the letters to be Sonya, though I figured it was lapluie), so I wanted to switch to him. I didn't want Kyle to lose the game when he was silenced. I also thought saving his life might get him on my side in a possible Day 10 lynch of lapluie if needed.

That makes sense.

Kylemii absolutely loved being Ermac.

My favorite thing was how I wanted Ermac's sock account to look imposing and scary, and I forgot to change the avatar, so it was a cat in a sweater when Glorfindel used it.

Liu Kang- dave
Kung Lao- Quin
Sub-Zero- rabbit8
Scorpion- MacDougall
Johnny Cage- Sloonei
Sonya Blade- lapluie
Jax- novaselinever
Kitana- Made
Sindel- Long Con
Sheeva- dunuya
Li Mei- Dom
Nightwolf- Glorfindel
Jade- TonyStarkPrime
Kabal- sig
Smoke- DrWilgy
Raiden- JackofHearts2005

Baraka- speedchuck
Mileena- Elohcin
Reptile- Simon
Goro- Marmot
Shang Tsung- nutella

Kano- JaggedJimmyJay
Ermac- Kylemii

I'm surprised nobody lynched Eloh after she was clearly following JJJ's instructions.

I also don't know why JJJ told the mafia the game would end if Kylemii was lynched. That clearly wasn't true.

nutella wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 10:20 pm also holy crap you two had btsc nice!! you guys played really well

Yeah I wonder why the host paired us together?

I didn't pair you up. You two just ended up together.

Ermac's role was the main reason I wasn't comfortable replacing anybody into the Dave slot. It was his only chance, and I didn't feel it would be right putting someone in Liu Kang's spot (the first role Ermac chose) who could draw the kill.

I also don't like subbing people in late in the game, especially due to the circumstances in this one, and I did not think it would be fair at all to make JJJ a kingmaker, which is what he would have ended up becoming.

@Epignosis Thanks for hosting, had a lot of fun playing this.

Congratulations to Outworld. Well played @Elohcin

You guys played your hearts out.

I do have this to ask:

Why lynch Kylemii?

He was already Night killed!

lapluie wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 10:15 pm ...Nutella. ..what? ?
what..?

nutella was Shang Tsung. She killed Sloonei and took his role. When she was lynched (by Long Con making her get lynched, because he was Sindel), she showed up as Johnny Cage (Sloonei's role).

Mortal Kombat Mafia

Each role has one standard ability and one secret ability; almost all of the latter can only be used once. If one power is in play, then the other is not.

The Order of Light
Must defeat Outworld

Liu Kang
Fireball: Liu Kang’s vote is worth two.
Flying kick: Liu Kang’s vote is worth three. Use this during the Day phase.

Kung Lao
Hat Throw: In case of a tie, Kung Lao will throw his hat at the person to be lynched.
Wind Teleport: Kung Lao will automatically escape the first lynch against him.

Sub-Zero
Freeze: Sub-Zero’s target is frozen and blocked.
Ice Clone: This decoy automatically protects Sub-Zero from one Night kill.

Scorpion
Spear: “Get over here!” Scorpion’s spear drags someone close. If Scorpion is targeted with anything, his target shares in that fate.
Immolation: Scorpion removes his mask and burns someone to death.

Johnny Cage
Crotch Punch: The superstar finds out if his target is a male or female combatant.
Shadow Kick: Cage knocks his target into the pathway of the person Cage voted for, making the person Cage voted for target the victim of the Shadow Kick instead.

Sonya Blade
Leg Grab: Sonya Blade grapples her target with her legs, suffocating her victim until she learns two letters in her target’s name.
Kiss: Sonya Blade has BTSC with Jax.

Jax
Piston Punch: Jax beats the hell out of his target. The target is incapacitated the next Day, unable to post or vote.
Gotcha Grab: Jax has BTSC with Sonya Blade.

Kitana
Fan Lift: The princess of Edenia will remove someone from the next poll.
Fan Throw: Kitana may switch the lynch to the person she took off the poll.

Sindel
Banshee Scream: The queen of Edenia makes someone insane with a curse of choice, and forces that person to vote in accordance with her bidding.
Hair Whip: Using her hair as a noose, Sindel will lynch the person with the second most votes alongside the person with the most.

Sheeva
Furious Stomp: Queen Sindel’s Shokan bodyguard blocks her target.
Untamed Fury: Sheeva beats her target so feverishly, she renders him perpetually powerless.

Li Mei
Nova Blast: Li Mei blinds her targets temporarily, and is able to switch their targets.
Carnival Spin: Li Mei makes her target accidentally target the person he voted for.

Nightwolf
Spirit Arrow: Nightwolf’s fires his arrow into the mouth of any person, in search of a lying spirit, and he discovers if a sentence that person said was a falsehood.
Reflector: Nightwolf reflects all actions against him back at those who targeted him.

Jade
Vanishing Winds: Using her ninja skills, Jade will spy and learn whom her target targeted that same Night.
Dodging Shadows: Using her ninja skills, Jade will spy and learn if her target has BTSC.

Kabal
Gas Blast: Kabal’s gassed victim is debilitated to the point of having a worthless vote the next Day.
Raging Flash: Kabal’s disoriented target will be made insane with a curse of Kabal’s choice, and, unbeknownst to the victim, his or her vote will be worth -1.

Smoke
Smoke Cloud: This sinister cloud prevents someone from voting the next Day.
Invisibility: Smoke may once remove himself from the poll.

Raiden
Lightning: The god of thunder will bring lightning upon his target, and peer into his soul, discerning if he is among The Order of Light.
Teleport: Raiden disappears and reappears behind his target; his target takes any action that was coming to Raiden.


Outworld
Has BTSC
Kills each Night.
Shao Khan has ordered his forces to destroy The Order of Light.

Baraka
Flying Shard: The Tarkatan warrior can make someone’s vote worth zero the next Day.
Chop Chop Blades: The first time Baraka carries out the kill, he mutilates the body so badly that he cannot be tracked.

Mileena
Soaring Sai: This Tarkatan clone of Kitana will defend someone from death.
Leaping Neckbite: The first time Mileena carries out the kill, she may learn the victim’s identity.

Reptile
Acid Stream: Reptile may add one secret vote on his target.
Invisibility: The first time Reptile carries out the kill, he will be off the next poll.

Goro
Chest Pound: Prince Goro blocks any person.
Leaping stomp: The first time Goro carries out the kill, he blocks his target too.

Shang Tsung
Soul Steal: Shang Tsung may use the known power of his target.
Shapeshifting: The first time Shang Tsung carries out the kill, he will steal the victim’s soul, and shall appear as that role should he ever be lynched.


Independents

Kano
Kano wins if he survives, Sonya Blade and Jax are dead, and at least ten other civilians are dead.
Knife Throw: Kano tortures his victim until he learns two letters in that person’s name.
Eye Beam: Any kill directed at Kano will be redirected to Kano’s victim at the end of the next Day.

Ermac
*Secrets* Each Night phase (and Day 0), Ermac selects a role in order to fortify himself. If at any point there are zero living among Ermac’s chosen, Ermac will be destroyed. Ermac wins if at least one of his chosen survives.
Hado-Energy: The nomadic legion will absorb the souls of the lynched, able to use their standard power next.
Mystic Float: Whomever Ermac chooses will be given temporary access to Ermac’s form, able to talk among the living and vote in the poll.

It used to be customary for Day phases to go to 24 hours once there were significantly fewer players. There is nothing mechanical involved here: It was a hosting decision on my part.

If anyone would like 48-hour Days to be back in place, you need only say so and I will change it back.

I was picking shit for someone elsewhere. I'm on to the night phase here. Sorry.

hey epi, dave needs replacing. me and marmot can share the role under a hydra, cleverly named daveforgothispassword.

I didn't replace you back in the first time because you had guests.

I'm not replacing you back in now because because.

K I hated you before, now I forgive you.

First, that should be in red.

Second, right after you asked to replace back in, you told someone else you couldn't play something because of friends.

I'm perceptive and considerate.

A little indeed. Got KO'd in one round by a five-year-old and was done.

I promise I wasn't *just* dicking around upstairs with the awards thing.

My computer has been giving me fits all week, and I was running a diagnostic scan.

I'll be sorting through Night actions. I apologize for the delay, but I do want to thank the award team for giving me something to chuckle at mightily while my computer was pissing me off.
