The Syndicate

It was circumstantial that Glorfindel roleblocked Epignosis when the nightkill failed. Had insertnamehere not roleclaimed, I'm very curious to have seen how that day would have panned out.

Night 1

Glorfindel - Do nothing

Sloonei - Search/Roleblock Long Con
timmer - Kill novaselinenever


Night 2

Glorfindel - Do nothing

Sloonei - Search/Roleblock DFaraday
timmer - Kill nutella


Night 3

Glorfindel - Kill insertnamehere

speedchuck - Search/Roleblock Glorfindel
timmer - Kill MacDougall

Since Glorfindel was roleblocked, the kill did not go through on insertnamehere. Had Glorfindel not been blocked, insertnamehere wouldn't have died anyway, but he'd have been forced to use the Ring.


Night 4

Glorfindel - Roleblock Epignosis

speedchuck - Search/Roleblock insertnamehere
Elohcin - Kill insertnamehere

insertnamehere was simultaneously searched and killed. Insertnamehere used the Ring to escape death here, but the search also let speedchuck take the Ring, preventing future use.


Night 5

Glorfindel - Protect juliets

speedchuck - Kill Glorfindel

Frodo - Frodo is the Bearer of The Ring. --- SECRETS --- Frodo may twice put the ring on to escape danger. If a day phase ends with any number of votes on him, he will don the ring to escape the lynch. If he is targeted with a nightkill, he will again don the ring to escape the nightkill.

Sauron - Sauron may search each night for The Ring, roleblocking his target in the process. --- SECRETS --- If Sauron finds the ring, he’ll take it for himself.


Note: The Ring does nothing for Sauron if he takes it. It only prevents Frodo from being able to use it again.

Fuck it.

Kyle and Mac are bad.

LC and Nutella are meh.

INH, Sloonei, Epi are good.

And of course Glor is good.

No actually I'm civ so I presume the rest of your reads are wrong too

I'll make sure to put a cop in the next game.

Maybe.

If you hadn't gotten a power role, I'd have made you the real Glorfindel.

Thanks so much for playing Glorfindel. It's been a pleasure to host for you, play you, get lynched by you, and make your acquaintance. I remember your first couple games playing here, and I really admire your resilience to come back and give mafia another go. I hope this isn't the end of our interactions together!

juliets wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 11:34 pm Oh and by the way one of the big reasons I thought rabbit was bad was he claimed Bilbo and that was my role. I just didn't know if it would be wise to come right out and say that.

In my opinion, I didn't see any reason to find that suspicious. All of the mafia members had alternate civilian role-claims in the case that a mass role-claim happened.

Unless you were Frodo or Gandalf, it mattered not who you were.

Thank you so much for playing everyone! Expect some more game details and goods to come tomorrow morning. I must now prepare to flee Middle Earth.

So it happened. The orcs found the Fellowship, collapsing on the small group from all sides Long Con was the first to go, struck by arrows from all directions. He collapsed to the ground as the orcs swarmed 'round the remainder of the group.


Long Con has been lynched. He was...


The game has ended. The mafia wins, the mafia being Elohcin, Epignosis, and speedchuck.

Sorry for the delay. Lynch a mafia already? (4 to hammer)

It's a Saturday night. You didn't actually think I was gonna sit around at home and wait for a lynch, did you?

Deep, deep under the mines of Moria, the Borag found the Fellowship. In a rage of fury, it slaughtered Glorfindel, the kindest being in Middle Earth.


Glorfindel has been nightkilled. He was...


Day 6 has begun. You have 48 hours to lynch somebody.

It is now MYLO. Votes in the poll will continue to be changeable, but if a hammer of 4 votes on a player is reached, the day will end immediately.

juliets wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 5:51 pm @Marmot, any chance you will tell us how you resolve ties in this game?

In the event of a tie on Day 1, no one is lynched.

In the event of a tie on any other day, the player who is lynched will be decided randomly among the leading vote getters.

Glorfindel wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 2:34 am It appears votes aren’t changeable this game? Well, that’s just typical...

They should be. Mine is currently changeable.

The Black Riders arrived at the Prancing Pony, looking for the Hobbits. They ransacked the room that was rented to them, but found no sign of them.

The party spent time in Lórien, and the elves who dwell within. The members of the party were given many gifts to part with.

DrWilgy was given elvish bread. Or so he thought. Someone thought it would be funny to bake it with shards of steel.

Night 4 has begun. You have until 20:00 EST on Monday to submit your night actions.

The Fellowship of the Ring continues to dwindle. MacDougall is the latest to fall, distracted and victimized by some unseemly poisonous mushrooms.

Deep in the Mines of Moria, Kylemii unwittingly cast a stone down a deep, seemingly bottomless well.

This action incurred Gandalf's wrath, as the ominous sound of drums rose from the depths.

I feel it would be irresponsible of me to leave legacy reads in my position. I've only followed along loosely since the end of Day 1 and don't know what went down at all last night. INH and Glorfindel are town reads, but that's all I can state with any confidence.

There are too many meetings these days.

Nobody likes them. Dwarves hate them. Elves despise them. Men avoid them. Hobbits will attend if there is ale to be found.

Wizards keep to themselves. They hate meetings too.

Ambray chose the wrong time to voice her displeasure. Selecting the Fellowship of the Ring is the most important meeting Middle Earth has needed in eons.

Bilbo Baggins, among his friends, was known as a quirky old hobbit. Celebrating his eleventy-first birthday, he showed his fellow hobbits just how much,
vanishing before their eyes and fleeing the cozy confines of the Shire.

But his friend Gandalf coerced him, before his departure, to leave a magical ring behind. But why? What power did this ring hold? What evil force would stop at nothing to regain it?

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

"The letters are Elvish, of an ancient mode, but the language is that of Mordor."

Gandalf uttered these words in the house under the hill. It was the beginning of a journey. One that would unite a fellowship of unlikely members to overthrow the rising power in the east.
