I can tell people now that I handpicked you for this role, hoping you would bring this kind of zeal to it. Thank YOU for that, Russti!

Eloh's vote was worth 3 (she bought the rod and the book), and nijuu's vote was worth 2 (she had a rod only). thellama73 had a 1 the whole time. So if you all had lynched nijuu, there would have been no kill, but they would have still had a voting power of 4.

MM89 targeted Snow Dog the Night he died, so he would have learned SD was civilian, by the way.
Son of a bitch. So llama convincing Snowy to switch his vote was the deciding factor in the game.

I don't blame you Snowy. If everyone hadn't put their votes on Eloh already, I probably would have joined you, because I was suspicious of MR. The main reason was because I had rolechecked MR the previous night and the action failed. I assumed MR had a shield. I was bewildered when he flipped civ. That told us who all the baddies were at that point, but it was also too late.
Thanks. But I blame me. I was totally fooled by Logan. He knew my weakspot is trusting ProgArchive members too much. Should have listened to you guys. And I must apologise to Made. I could never shake off the belief you were bad.

Thing is this game I was more active on making cases early in the game and following it up, so when Boogs said I was blendy I was like "what the fuck", he sealed his fate with me for that. However as civ after civ got lynched I lost all trust in anything. I lost my way a bit. Only one thing I really counted on was that Russ was Ganon.
What gave him away for me? He acted like ganon for a start. It was like he was in charge. And when he said to vote for him, that he could "take it", was when I knew.
Rob...the nights of no kills. Was one of them an attempt on me?

I felt like Russ was pretty much outing himself! And people still weren't seeing it!

That night they tried to kill Made, but Made could only be killed by an arrow.

Russti came this close to upgrading you to Moblin (he didn't know which person he was upgrading) the Day MR got lynched and did not. I believe that was the ultimate turning point in the game.
Ugh. I lost due to poor gold management. I probably could've managed a Wizzrobe and a Moblin.

I actually didn't do that partly because I was still afraid llama was a misguided civ at that point, and I didn't want him turning the lynch in the baddies' favor by mistake. I didn't have enough trust in my team, I guess, which is weird in mafia. The other reason I didn't do it was because I was Skyping my girlfriend when the lynch came down to the wire. Whatcha gonna do?

That's what this game is all about. Your instincts could have been right, and then the Mafia would have been singing a different tune. Can't fault you dude. I know how much you agonized over that decision.

Snow Dog was the most powerful civilian toward the end, since he could force people to vote certain ways.

Also, if you got lynched, you had to give your Triforce to someone who voted for you, and if you were NK, your killer got your Triforce.

I created this game to make it harder on the Mafia. I want to point out that if nijuu ever took a vote (or two or three, depending on the Day), she could not kill anybody for free. And if she got lynched, her team would have NO kill at all except what they could buy.

nijuu took not a single vote the entire game. Keep her in mind folks!

That was just story- you guys were outnumbered in terms of voting power.
Was Eloh rezzed, or was that also flavor?

Also, what was the answer to the lion riddle?

She won, so both?

The answer is nothing would happen.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Also, how many rupees did we cost you on the money-making game? :P

Based on memory, you broke even.

Snow Dog wrote:And as MM asked, how was I killed? The recorder alone can't do it?

And because I'm so disappointed that this didn't get to happen, I am putting Gleeok in the game of champions!

S~V~S wrote:My secret power was SO AWESOME~ but I had to be lynched to trigger it. I tried so hard to be blendy so Llama would try to lynch me, lol, but it was not to be. Good game baddies

Ah yes- if Gleeok was lynched, S~V~S and two other civilians would be resurrected as Gleeok's heads. These heads would be sock accounts, and, even though they'd have no Night power and couldn't serve as a guardian anymore, they would add to the civilian voting bloc.

Made wrote:Did baddie have a vote upgrade that would make the game unwinnable?

They spent the rest of their money on bait and made everybody vote for you.

LizKeen wrote:Good job mafia! I was sure llama was good early on mostly because we thought alike. And I thought made was probably Zola. I'd have never figured it out.

llama's super power: Make people trust you by agreeing with them. He got me hard in Harry Potter for that.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Also, I rolechecked MR on Night 6, but for some reason it failed. Anyone know why?

llama's boomerang.

Addendum: I see I've wasted my time.

Secrets

If Link receives no vote during the Day, he can use his sword to fire at and eliminate an enemy at Night.

Zelda uses her wisdom to role check each Night.

If the Old Man is alive by Night 2, Link can kill freely if he has no more than 1 vote. If the Old Man is alive by Night 4, Link can kill freely if he has no more than 2 votes. And so on.

Zola has no use for rupees, so you may try to bribe someone to vote the way you want with the rupees you earn. Your target does not have to accept your bribe. If a bribe is accepted but not honored, Zola kills the target.
You win by eliminating Link and the Overworld minions and surviving.

The Triforce of Wisdom: Learn one secret.
The Triforce of Power: Force someone's vote the next Day.
The Triforce of Courage: Protect someone from death that Night (other than yourself).

Death Mountain

By Day 9, Ganon’s forces were starving and exhausted. Until the day before, Hyrule had outwitted and outfought them. Having returned to Death Mountain to regroup, a strange feast surprised them: Set before them was succulent red meat. Giving into hunger, they began to devour the unexpected meal.

A flash of light in the shape of a sword shot forth and took Metalmarsh89 out of existence. His remaining supper fell to the ground.

“What are you doing fools?” cried Russtifinko. “We have work to do!”

“Care for a little music with your dinner, Snow Dog?” asked a voice.

Snow Dog looked behind him and saw thellama73 with a recorder.

“No!” Snow Dog cried, but as the music whistled through the air, he began to shrink until he was no more. Only a red prism remained.

“I’ll take that, Digdogger,” the Old Man said. “With the three Triforces in our possession, we can do this:”

The colors green, red, and blue swirled together and created a rift in the ground. Arising on a pedestal was a familiar Princess.

“It feels good to be back,” Elohcin said.

“Not you!” cried Made.

The magic of the Triforce did not bring Zelda back unarmed. With her silver bow, she pierced Made’s eye.

Then nijuukyugou stepped out of the shadows and addressed Russtifinko. “We know who you are, Ganon. Your reign of terror has ended!”

“Link!”

Game Over.

Hyrule has won!

Congratulations to nijuukyugou, Elohcin, and thellama73!

Sorry that I neglected to post the Day 7 poll. I was in a hurry and deleted the poll before I copied and pasted it.

The question is just filler and therefore meaningless, so yes.

If you selected "Lion" on Day 0, you may receive a hint.

Night 8: The Lion Labyrinth

Elohcin has been lynched. She was Zelda.

The eighth labyrinth is the Lion Temple. It sprawls outward like a kingly mane.

The Old Man of the Lion Labyrinth speaks:

“Before this ancient place was built, one hundred lions dwelled here. These lions were logical beasts. They ate plants that used to grow here, but what they really wanted was gazelle.

“However, in this place, there is was only one gazelle, and it was a magical one. The lions knew that if any one of them should eat the gazelle, the partaker would itself transform into a magical gazelle, who might in turn be hunted by members of its pride.

“One day, one of the lions was close to the gazelle, and the opportunity to consume the graceful beast was within its grasp. But it knew that if it transformed into a gazelle, it would not be able to escape another lion that decided to eat it.

“What happened? Ten rupees to anyone who PMs the logical answer, and a bonus four rupees if you can explain your answer.”

It is now Night 8. You have 23 hours to send in your PMs.

Also, I am preparing supper. Expect the post to come around 7pm, EST.

You have fifteen minutes.

Day 8: What’s in a Name?

fingersplints has been eliminated by Link’s sword.

“Todd!” the Old Man shrieked. “I command you to cease! And pay ten rupees to anyone who said your name!”

It is now Day 8. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.

You have thirty-five minutes.

Elohcin wrote:Epi, what happens if lynch votes are tied?

The person who has earned the fewest rupees among the tied is lynched.

That's right folks- two games on this site where money is important.

If you selected "Demon" on Day 0, you can request a hint by PM.

Mister Rearranger wrote:Lol

Epi, thank you for putting together a brilliant game. The rupees were a really cool idea and I wish I'd been around more to get the full experience.

Thank you for playing, MR.

Night 7: The Demon Labyrinth

Mister Rearranger has been lynched. He was a Stalfos.

The seventh labyrinth is the Demon Temple. Ominous whispers can be heard up and down its corridors.

The Old Man of the Demon Labyrinth says this:

“Only the uttering of the demon’s name can pacify its thirst for souls and bring reward. I have hid the demon’s name! I first made it difficult to find, but now it is explicitly placed. Send the name to the Host for rupees.”

It is now Night 7. You have 23 hours to send in your PMs.

You have one hour.

Metalmarsh89 wrote:Question to Epi During the money winning contest on Day 2, if you did not have enough rupees to vote, were you still allowed to participate, but just not win/lose?

Depends on your alignment.

Day 7: Dragged Down

Dom has been eliminated by Link.

The Old Man of the Dragon Labyrinth wrote this down on his scroll:

White dragon / Parapa / Trophy
Red dragon / Maze Island / Candle
Blue dragon / Midoro / Raft
Yellow dragon / Island / Letter
Black dragon / Three-Eye-Rock / Hammer
Green dragon/ Ocean / Boots

“This looks right to me,” he said. “For each correct connection, you will win one rupee, for a maximum of eighteen. If you feel I’ve made a mistake, PM the Host!”

It is now Day 7. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.

You have ten minutes.

I worded something badly in the puzzle. It has been fixed.

If you selected "Dragon" on Day 0, you can get a free piece of information- your choice.

“Ah! I’m sorry for sleeping!” cried the Old Man of the Dragon Labyrinth. “I was dreaming of chicken kabobs and Fat Tire beer! As it turns out, six dragons once ruled this world, or so the legends say. However, I’m having a difficult time learning where they dwelled and what treasure they protected! Listen to my story:

“The green dragon, who never had the letter, got lost in the Maze Palace and died before the trophy was assembled. Midoro Palace held the magic raft, which the green dragon created, but lost in a battle. The blue dragon, who had never been to Parapa Palace, and the red dragon fought to take over Three-Eye-Rock Palace; the red dragon lost but made the blue dragon lose the letter. The black dragon fears water and all things related to water. Archaeologists excavated the Island Palace and found no trace of the hammer or the boots. The black dragon tricked the blue dragon into abandoning the Three-Eye-Rock Palace, but did not find the boots. The yellow dragon has always inhabited the island. The red dragon killed the green dragon, who came to steal the Candle. Only the Boots could survive in the Ocean Palace. The white dragon has never been to the Island Palace, the Ocean Palace, or to Midoro Palace. The Three-Eyed-Rock Palace has never housed the letter or the raft.

“Oh...you want more help? Well, I need rupees. Tell me privately what you want! Four rupees per additional clue. I need sleeping medicine!”

Night 6: The Dragon Labyrinth

LizKeen has been lynched. She was Aquaentus.

The sixth labyrinth is the Dragon Temple. Its walls and floor feel hot to the touch.

The Old Man of the Dragon Labyrinth is asleep! Check back in two hours.

"zzzzzzz..."

It is now Night 6. You have 24 hours to send in your PMs.

You have one hour.

Day 6: In the Cage

No one has been killed.

The Old Man chanted again:

“Am F#m Em C#m
These all turn to MAJ.
That poor lizard, now alone,
Died trapped in its CAGE”

It is now Day 6. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.

Actually, I'm going to extend Night 5 by thirty minutes. You have until 6pm EST.

You have seven minutes.

If you selected "Lizard" on Night 0, you will have an advantage in this challenge, yes.

Night 5: The Lizard Labyrinth

No one has been lynched.

The fifth labyrinth is the Lizard temple. Its walls change color.

The Old Man of the Lizard labyrinth chants a tale:

A treacherous lizard
Kept by a wizard
Could not be killed
By sword, axe, or shield
How, then, did it expire
When its lord’s life was required?
The solution is finer
And relatively minor.

“Speak privately the answer to your Host!”

It is now Night 5. You have 23 hours to send in your PMs.

You have thirty minutes.

LizKeen wrote:Can the host clear up if this is the lynch poll?

It is.

Day 5: Serpentine! Serpentine!

zeek has been eliminated by Link’s sword.
Bass_the_Clever has been blown up.

“Yessss- Snake Eyes!” exclaimed the old man.

It is now Day 5. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.
