Were you not sad to see me die?

I was. I really wanted you to target rabbit.

Golden wrote:Epi, Sophie was NKed

Not in my fantasy.

Although I was excited for the paranoia phase of the game, I was sad to see Sophie get lynched. She was spectacular. And I loved looking at her avatar.

I was laughing so hard. Sophie was so mad, and in my head, I was thinking "Be careful what you wish for!"

The Eloh-llama-LC BTSC was just as awkward as you can imagine it.

She wasn't blocked trying to kill you- she missed the deadline due to DST in the USA.

Haven't even read my own endgame, sorry. Was hosting Heroes Unlimited. Then I cooked and ate.

Golden wrote:Epi, you were an epic host, and I love that you set up the game to be funny. As far as comeback games go - this one made me feel like the Syndicate was home, and you deserve a lot of the credit for that.

And sophie, I'm sorry you couldn't win

Thank you Golden. You are very good. I enjoyed watching you perform and rack up those laughs.

Golden wrote:Epi... what I want to know is, despite the vowels, could I have been lynched if bf took me off the poll?

If you're not on the poll, you can't be lynched. That's how I do it.

Sophie wrote:yeah civvies finally

OMG i told you it was MP! why was everyone clearing him??? if you guys wouldnt have cleared him so much i would have killed him in night 8 and we would have win

I TRIED KILL MP IN NIGHT 2 AND COULDNT WHAT HAPPENED??????? I GOT BLOCKED, WHO BLOCKED ME???

literally mp was the only person i thought was bad the entire game, if it wasnt for the clearing i would have killed me much earlier. i still didnt believe him when lea got lynched, but couldnt ignore bf, fs and canuck claims.

is that because he pretended to be jessica?

Something funny about Sophie was that she got blocked on Night 2, and because of DST in the US, she missed sending in her Night action on Night 4. This was after Bass faked the LC thing, so Sophie was pissed that she didn't get to try to kill Long Con. Funny thing is, had she targeted Long Con, she would have died instead.

Sophie wrote:Alsoooooo wanted to say that in night 2 i wanted to kill MP. the baddies blocked me, couldnt

In night 4, after the slip, wanted to kill LC. Thank god i got here 20 minutes late. baby herman would DIE if they target the judge. i was convinced LC was mafia. i was just a bit late and was gonna 100% target lc that day. came here late and ask epi to still make my action go through, i was barely late. thank god he didnt. i would have DIED that night.

There we go.

Sometimes a host being a stickler for rules works in your favor!

Black Rock wrote:Thank you Epig, I loved my role so much. A role like that gets me into the game. I waited for so long to see a result, Canuck was the first one when I learned her secret. At first I was trying to decide if Zomba was the role blocker as she was hinting, then I realized it was a MASS roleblock and we had a kill night 1. Duh! I then proceeded to call her a liar. If I hadn't died the night before Llama got lynched I could have saved his life his jokes were because of me and I would have known he was civ. It hurt my heart to see him go down, I wanted to save him so bad.

I knew you would rock it. My only regret is that you never targeted rabbit- funny thing is that you probably wouldn't be able to tell the result of your action from his normal posting style!

Want to hear something funny? I just NOW noticed that I did not have a thing for Betty Boop if you ever served juliets a drink. Somehow I missed that role!

Golden wrote:This site looks like its full of FEBs who love being mafia and bring their A games to being mafia... just my impression, not sure if thats true, but people like epi, llama, SVS... I'm presuming lots of people make great baddies here.

My first several games I was Mafia. Four or five times straight, I think. Five games in a row. I just went back and counted. When I first became a civilian, I found myself doing exactly what I would do if I were Mafia. Normally, people try to act like they are civilians. Not me- I ended up using the same tactics and lies and ruses. I really had no other mindset, and I think it kind of stuck.

To this day, I have one single solitary civilian win, and I almost got screwed out of that one (a mistake from the host made me lynch target #1 for a little bit, but I basically threatened people with physical real life violence if they voted me so close to the end of the game

). Also, Mafia tried to Night kill me THREE times that game.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Wow!!! What a game!! Congratulations, civilians, you totally deserved it. Especially Canuck. Just wow! I had absolutely no reason to suspect those recruit messages weren't from Epi. I did question for a few seconds why Epi would include a recruit mechanic, but never did I question whether those messages were actually from him.

We were outplayed from the very beginning. I was panicking because Aces brought so much attention to himself and wasn't sure what to do, especially since in The Hobbit (the game Elo referred to earlier on) I found myself and a couple of my teammates under a lot of suspicion early on and distanced HARD from them. It fell apart because Daisy, BWT, and Epi called me out on it, lynched me, and they subsequently lynched my teammates. I knew people would figure out the same here because I'm known for throwing my teammates under the bus in a heartbeat, so it backfired hard when I steered the thread away from Aces, and Golden was SPOT ON about everything. I tried so hard to convince him and everyone else... I can't believe I made it so far in the game. I was figuring I'd be lynched relatively early on myself, so I specifically defended or issued non-opinions on every single one of my teammates so that if I did get lynched, people would dissect my posts to oblivion.

I did have the power to send messages as Betty Boop; at first, my team and I weren't really sure how to utilize them yet. I thought that we could use them to create chaos, but that alone was not a good enough reason for me. I figured I'd bide my time for a bit and see what we could do with it later as the game went on. Then juliets outed herself to me and it worked perfectly! I thought I could NK her and then pose as her thereafter to get attention off of me. I tried to use it as though I was a civilian as much as possible, and thus wouldn't be sending messages to those I suspected nor every night, because inevitably it's risky. I do feel like I did a pretty good job with that.

Behind the scenes, my team was epic. You guys rocked it. I loved scheming every single minute of this game with all of you!

MP kept PMing me and asking me questions about the recruiting. I never responded to him because those messages weren't from me.

You might even say, MP, that you were...outfoxed in the end.

Golden wrote:Well done guys!!!

Zombs - how many vowels did I use?

You had 11.

Here is part of a PM I sent to S~V~S early on in the game, which was, from my perspective, the funniest damn game I think I have ever hosted. I cut out some redundant stuff, but I thought folks would like to know what went down early on in the game.

++++

Okay, so it's only Day 2, and already there are many shenanigans and fails afoot. I almost don't know where to begin, but I'll start here:

Golden is Roger Rabbit. His vote is 0 at the start of each Day, but each time someone unique uses the

smiley, his vote goes up by 1. That's why the Day 1 lynch netted Aces (Psycho).

His own vote right now (on rabbit) is worth 4.

++++

nijuu is Wheazy. Wheazy can cough in someone's face and make that person post only in consonants. She targeted Golden. What Golden doesn't know is this: Each vowel he uses counts as a vote against him. He has 7 votes as of this message to you.

Good thing for Golden days are only 24 hours.

++++

Eloh is Jessica Rabbit. She picked Zomberella (Stupid) for BTSC. Zomb is broadcasting their chat in their BTSC, and MP essentially picked up on it being Eloh. However, what sealed the deal was that Zomb got Eloh to say who she voted for Day 1 (llama).

So Eloh will be dead meat Night 3 if not sooner.

++++

LC, the judge, didn't target a Weasel to control. It wouldn't have mattered because Zomb (Stupid) blocked him, so now the Weasels are pretty sure LC is Judge Doom (even though LC didn't even send in a PM).

++++

However, Canucklehead is OWNING Droopy. I handpicked her for that role. Droopy does this:

Droopy survives the first attempt on his life, whether by lynch or Night kill.
Droopy may send the Weasels a message each Night. This message will go to each Weasel in succession: Night 1 would go to Smart Ass, Night 2 to Greasy, etc. If a Weasel is dead, that Weasel will be skipped and the message will go to the next one in line. This message will come through the Host. The message, of course, may not be true, but they don’t know that...

This is what Canucklehead send to Bass (Smart Ass) on Night 1:

Canucklehead wrote:Here is my message for Smart Ass!

Subject Line: Event Triggered: Make 'Em Laugh, Make 'Em YOURS

Smart Ass:
Your team has the chance to recruit 1 player, if you successfully complete this challenge.
Beginning tonight, each night one of your teammates will receive a message containing a cartoon image.
That teammate (YOU, in this case) must then craft a joke/gag/hilarious turn of phrase inspired by that cartoon, and incorporate that joke into one of their posts the following day. How the image inspires your joke is up to you, but there needs to be a clear enough connection that a disinterested observer with access to the image could reasonably see the link. Be creative. Make it FUNNY. DO NOT make it obvious.
If/when someone in the thread quotes and/or "laughs" at your joke (by posting an lol, , , etc or by saying "That's hilarious" or some other phrase that indicates their appreciation of your comedic wit), you gain 1 point towards your recruitment goal.
If you gain 5 points, AND each living member of your team has contributed at least 1 point, you will gain a recruit (chosen at random from the pool of players who have laughed at your jokes).

Some clarifications:
-A disinterested Arbiter has been appointed to oversee this challenge. All judgement calls (i.e. whether something counts as a laugh, whether the connection between the joke and the inspiration cartoon is clear enough) are at the discretion of the Arbiter. Deal with it.
- The Arbiter has a copy of the image, and will watch the thread and keep a tally of your point total
-Each player may make as many attempts per image as they like, and each attempt may be a different joke, but each image expires when the next one is delivered (i.e. any laughs gained by Smart Ass after an image has been delivered to Greasy will NOT count). Only one player/image is active at a time.
-You must NOT post the actual image in the thread. Make your own damn joke!
-You may share this message with your teammates. You may NOT share this message with the thread (and frankly you would be an idiot to consider doing so).
-Begging for or manipulating "laughs" from players is cheap and will result in a LOSS of points. Don't do it.

The Host will inform you when/if you have met the challenge. If I haven't contacted you, you haven't completed it.

Here is Smart Ass' Cartoon:

Now get those jokes crackin'!

++++

That is why Bass made the "looking at pictures of Hitler" comment. The Mafia are going to out themselves one by one to Canucklehead in the thread.

She's a crafty one, that Canadian.

++++

So, that's where we are. And it's only Day 2.

Secrets

Roger Rabbit
“If you don’t have a good sense of humor, you’re better off dead!” *Secrets*
Nobody takes poor Roger seriously, and as such, his vote is worth zero. However, each time someone unique uses the “haha” smiley, Roger’s vote increases by one. His vote resets to zero at the start of each Day.

Baby Herman
On odd Nights, Baby Herman is a sweet, innocent baby.
On even Nights, Baby Herman will kick your ass and maybe even kill you. *Secrets*
On even Nights, Baby Herman pushes someone down a flight of stairs. If Baby Herman targets a civilian with his kill, he puts that person in a coma, and that person is silenced and may not vote the next Day. If Baby Herman targets a Weasel, it dies. If Baby Herman targets Judge Doom, Baby Herman is put in The Dip and is killed.

Dolores
Dolores can get you a drink. *Secrets*
There will be a different effect depending on whom she serves a drink to:
Eddie = Receives incorrect information from his tracking.
Roger = Can only post pictures of whistles the next Day.
Jessica = She seduces two people at the same time for a randy evening!
Baby Herman = He takes a nap and will be inactive all Day.
Benny = Crashes into a tree and is killed.
R.K. = Gets angry and has to use profanity at least once in every post.
Acme = Can only post in jokes the next Day.
Donald or Daffy = Has to vote for the other.
Bongo = Goes on a rampage. Mass role block.
Droopy = Droopy will tell his secret to you.
Weasel = The Weasel starts the next Day with 2 votes.
Doom = ???, but it ain’t good!
Secret to Dolores: Doom will kidnap you. You will be “dead” until Doom is lynched.

Marvin Acme
Like his will, his ability is a secret. *Secrets*
*If he is Night killed, then on the next Day, only his targets will be on the poll. Marvin Acme must target at least three people.*

Droopy
You know what? *Secrets*
Droopy survives the first attempt on his life, whether by lynch or Night kill.
Droopy may send the Weasels a message each Night. This message will go to each Weasel in succession: Night 1 would go to Smart Ass, Night 2 to Greasy, etc. If a Weasel is dead, that Weasel will be skipped and the message will go to the next one in line. This message will come through the Host. The message, of course, may not be true, but they don’t know that...

Smart Ass
Smart Ass role checks anybody the Weasels whack.
Greasy
Each Night, Greasy can send a message to any player, pretending that he’s Betty Boop.
Psycho
Nobody listens to this jackass. This looney’s vote is worth 0.
Wheezy
Smokes a lot. He coughs in someone’s face, making that person only able to speak in consonants the next Day. For each vowel used, that person takes one vote. Vowels must be reported to the Host to count.
Stupid
Has a bat with a nail in it. He role blocks.

Poll Correction: Lena Hyena is on the poll. If you have voted, please vote again.

Night 7: A Maaaaaaan!

The lottery was over.

“A winner has been chosen! And here she is...Lena Hyena!”

A frightful creature in a red dress appeared and howled: “A maaaaaaaaaan!”

During the distraction, the Toon Patrol removed a womaaaaaaaaaaan.

Black Rock has been killed by the Weasels. It is now Day 8. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.

Well, it ain't gonna tell anybody anything for at least another half an hour. I'm not prepared!

Children.

However, Night 7 has ended.

Just remember that all dead posts still have to be "off topic."

Fine. Beg away zombies.

Toontown

Having traveled through the tunnel, the dwindling would-be detectives found themselves in a colorful world with a singing sun and dancing dells.

“I can’t believe it. We’re in Toontown!”

“This is a world with its own cosmology. A world in which gravity is ineffective if you don’t acknowledge its existence. The stars in the sky are the remnants of thousands of head injuries over the ages. A world in which no one is bad- they’re just drawn that way.”

“Are you hearing this guy? Give it a rest!”

A building opened its eyes and called out. “Well hello there travelers! You’re just in time for the Towntown lottery!”

“Toontown lottery?”

“Is there an echo on this street? Yes! The Toontown lottery.”

“Well, sure. I’ve got some extra scratch. How much to enter?”

“Enter? How much?” The building laughed. “You’ve already entered, silly! Each time you posted, say, a cartoon, a sexy song, a nauseating cocktail, a toy, gag or novelty, a clip from a terrible film, or a despicable corporation, you get an extra ballot! Read the fine print though- maximum one ballot per phase.”

“Interesting. And what do you mean ballot? Don’t you mean ticket?”

“I may be unfurnished inside, but I’m not stupid.”

“We know- Zomberella12 was.”

“Listen wise guys, there’s a very beautiful woman staying here. She’ll be with you in a moment. But first we must draw. If you’re dead, each time you participated in the above described activities, your name goes in the hat once. If you’re alive, each time you participated in the above-described activities, you can privately submit a name of someone dead you want added to the pool. And whoever’s name gets plucked from the hat wins! Simple enough!”

It is still Night 7.

Day 7: Tunnel Vision

Having arrived at a bleak tunnel, people began Weasel hunting again.

“Hey, what do you know? Unanimous decision!”

“It would have been unanimous if she had voted.”

“How could she vote? We already whacked her.”

Zomberella12 has been lynched. She was Stupid. It is now Night 7. You have 23 hours to submit your PMs.

Who wants to change Baby Herman's diaper?

Night 5: The Cinema

After all the wacky fun at the Acme Factory, the crew thought a film was in order. They purchased tickets and settled into their seats.

An advertisement flickered on before the movie started.

“Shh!”

“Quiet numbskull!”

“It’s on.”

“Are you getting married? Are you celebrating the next year of life? Perhaps you are having a retirement party. Whatever your occasion, you could have let Elohcin make a custom cake. I could have offered a variety of flavors, from classic red velvet to cookies and cream. There may have been numerous whimsical designs for you to choose from. You no doubt would have recommended me to your friends! I would have loved to do your next cake, but unfortunately, you’ll have to use one of my competitors, because I’m dead!”

Elohcin has been killed by the Weasels. It is now Day 6. You have 24 hours to lynch someone.

Night ends in 34.

MovingPictures07 wrote:Epi, do the baddies or Judge inherit the other team's NK when the other team loses, or not?

The Judge will inherit the Toon Patrol kill, but the Toon Patrol will not inherit the Judge's kill.

There was a "The Room" Mafia here actually. I can't remember who won or lost. Probably no one. No one wins with The Room.

In an alternate universe not far from this one, film directors started lynching and killing one another. And no wonder! So many horrible movies. Post a clip from the worst movie ever, because we’ll be hiding out in the cinema next.

Day 5: Hole-y...!

“Gotta be her. Let’s get her.”

Everyone grabbed whatever looked the most threatening: Singing swords, extendable boxing gloves, giant rockets- whatever projectile would soar toward their target and destroy it.

They threw, pulled the trigger, fired- all into a black abyss.

“A portable hole. How d’ya like that?”

No one has been lynched. It is now Night 5. You have 23 hours to submit your PMs.

Who dropped the anvil (and got it right back)?
