The Syndicate

I thought the entire scum team played pretty well! TH SNS Epi did a nice job distancing (was especially entertaining watching Epi semi-open wolf his last day), chuck getting kill after kill off was clutch, and LC obviously brought it home neatly. Just a really all around solid game, especially up against a town that played well in their own right.

I posted a link to scum chat at the end of the game for those curious.

Also posted links to dead/spec chat and Jay and Nutella’s chat.

Tbh I think the setup worked well in part because of the playerlist, you guys did a great job with the mechanics and turning them to your advantage. On both alignments.

Idk, I think that “no claims but really it’s only no explicit claims” is pretty town sided in an open or semi-open setup where roles are publicly available. But stricter “no claims whatsoever” enforcement leads to more modkills, which isn’t particularly fun for anyone tbh.

So idk, mixed feelings but I usually prefer claims.

The concentration of fun-to-frustration was about 100% fun and 0% frustration.

Yeah I’m pretty pro claiming. Imo a no claim game has to be pretty strict about softing or breadcrumbing to be fair, and that results in a lot of modkills that aren’t very fun.

They had no inherent abilities, they got a chat removed from the thread and had one Meddle action each, as well as a joint Interfere action. There was a trigger at MYLO/LYLO with enough scum alive to give them the option to enter the game for a day.

The only thing they used was the Interfer, which took the form of the Apple that got sent to Sloonei initially. And they obviously accepted the option to enter the game when it was triggered.

Well that's confusing. I've unlocked this thread three times now, plus Jay's one, hopefully it stays open now lol

Is there a reason the thread keeps getting locked? Is this not where we post game?

Yep!

Apple kills were you shooting TH and FG shooting Chuck

Thanks!

One note: scum had the ability to decide ties. This was supposed to be in the OP, but I realized after D1 that I had overlooked putting it in there, so to best maintain the balance of the game it became a factional ability instead.

Note: I did not know about this when I self-voted.

oh

Tbf it was posted in scum chat

He just didn't read scum chat until after the flip.

Tony has been shot with a crossbow! Unfortunately, as Sloonei bends down to retrieve his bolt, Long Con stealths up behind him and stabs him right in the kidney. Tony was town, and the mafia team of LC, Epi, Chuck, and TH has won!

[mention]TonyStarkPrime[/mention] flips:

Lucy

Double Double Double Agent: Both sides are so confused which side you’re on, that nobody dares to target you with any abilities (normally this is referred to as ascetic, I believe). This includes any non-factional lethal abilities. In addition, you can choose to kill Desmond on any odd numbered nights.

You are a Righteous Warrior and win when all the Heathenous Spies have been eliminated.

[mention]Sloonei[/mention] was:

Connor/Ratonhnhaké:ton

Climb a Tree: You can climb a tree! That’s awesome! While you’re up in that tree, only other players able to climb trees can target you. Climbing trees is pretty tiring though, so you can only do it every other night.

You are a Righteous Warrior and win when all the Heathenous Spies have been eliminated.

[mention]Long Con[/mention] was:

Desmond Miles

Bleeding Effect: starting D1, you can target somebody every day and use a nerfed version of their ability the following night/day (depending on the ability).

You're a Heathenous Spy

In response to a private question: for the purposes of this game an Assassin is only considered to be a “historical” Assassins-affiliated character, not a present day character—e.g., Layla is not counted as an Assassin for the purposes of this game.

(Chuck and FG’s flips have been edited to reflect their ship possession)

In the night, a bunch of people die! In alphabetical order:

[mention]Funnygurl555[/mention] flips:

Bayek

Far Sighted: Each night you can send out your awesome eagle, Senu, to scout out the terrain (lets you watch another player and see if anything happened to them), OR you can ask them to watch over you, which will give you a 50% chance to survive any lethal actions that target you. You can not do the same action two nights in a row.

You have a ship--you can't do anything with it, and this may or may not be relevant to other roles.

You are a Righteous Warrior and win when all the Heathenous Spies have been eliminated.

[mention]speedchuck[/mention] flips:

Shay Patrick Cormac

Assassin Hunter—if you target an Assassin Character at night and catch them by surprise, you’ll kill them. If you target a Templar Character, you’ll be labeled as an outcast-you’ll lose this ability, and no protection roles will be able to save you.

You have a ship--you can't do anything with it, and this may or may not be relevant to other roles.

You're a Heathenous Spy

[mention]ts account[/mention] flips:

Layla

Cutting Edge Researcher: Every night you can focus your considerable researching ability on one player and, if they’re an Ancient Assassin you’ll learn their character.

You are a Righteous Warrior and win when all the Heathenous Spies have been eliminated.

There are currently 3 players alive, so hammer is at 2. There is a no vote option today, no TK is not an option. Day will end by April 14, 12pm EDT if there's no hammer.

[mention]Long Con[/mention]
[mention]Sloonei[/mention]
[mention]TonyStarkPrime[/mention]

[mention]Epignosis[/mention] has been shot with a wrist gun, to death! He flips:

Haytham Kenway

English Bastard: You’re an English bastard. As a Templar, you have resources most other people don’t. Every other night you can bring those considerable resources to bear against someone in an attempt to distract them. There are certain characters this will not work against, and if you target a Templar Character with this ability it will result in you doing nothing instead.

You're a Heathenous Spy

If I get everything fast enough then I’ll process early, otherwise night actions are due no later than April 11, 3pm EDT. Note that jay and Nutella CAN be targeted with night actions tonight if you wish to do so.

Hammer achieved, flip coming shortly

An announcement:

A clarification has been made to Mac's role PM. This is a clarification that should have been included in his flip.

In addition, it has come to my attention that ship owners were not all notified that they own a ship. If you own a ship and were not notified, you have now been told that you do.

I sincerely apologize for both oversights.

The OP has been updated with the D2 poll. Apologies for the delay, had to get the baby down!

No TK can also be used for this, as it cannot be hammered.

Yes but I forgot to put it in the OP. Sorry! Will add it in tonight.

You should be able to set it for exactly 3 days, though that's slightly delayed from the initial deadline now I guess

That’s what was causing people not to be able to vote.

I’ll try again D4, we’re just gonna deal with it today.

Poll fixed, no automatic timer cause apparently polls here hate me.

A golden bang fills the sky, accompanied by flashes of blue and yellow lightning. As the ruckus disperses, two almost-but-not-quite human figures stand in front of the town. [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] and [mention]nutella[/mention] have entered the thread! They may vote, but they may not be voted for.

In addition, [mention]MacDougall[/mention] and [mention]tedxtr[/mention] and [mention]Turnip Head[/mention] have died!

Mac flips:

Edward Kenway

Pirate Ship: You have a pirate ship! That’s awesome, dude. Using your pirate ship, you can make yourself untargetable to anyone that doesn’t also possess a ship. You can only use this ability every other night though, cause you have to restock your food and supplies. While on your ship, you can target someone to try and kill.

(Clarification: the kill only works on other players that possess a ship. The kill and ship action are tied together, meaning they happen on the same night. Any watchers and/or trackers that may exist in the game will still receive results if someone attempts to target you on a night you use your ship.)

You are a Righteous Warrior and win when all the Heathenous Spies have been eliminated.

Ted flips:

Kassandra

Misthios: You’re a hardened mercenary! This means that each night, you can either STRONGARM someone, which means they won’t be able to vote you the next day, or you can SELLSWORD, which will give you a neighborhood with someone the following day. You can use STRONGARM once per game (and not at MYLO or LYLO), and SELLSWORD twice per game.

You have a ship--you can't do anything with it, and this may or may not be relevant to other roles.

Aveline

Whip: Can disarm one player a night.

Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Three Game Legend: You’re so popular, they brought you back for an extra two games! As such, if you die at night you may make 3 ghost posts per game day for each of the 2 days following your death. These posts must be sent through the GM (as in, you send them to me and I post them), and they may not be longer than 30 words. I’ll post them as soon after seeing them as I am able to. You don’t get to use this ability if you are the TK, only if you die at night.

They were:

Shao Jun

Light Sleeper—you don’t like to sleep at night, which makes it harder for anyone to catch you by surprise! If you’re targeted at night with a negative ability, there’s a 50% chance that it won’t work.

You are a Righteous Warrior and win when all the Heathenous Spies have been eliminated.

I’ll have a screencap of the poll in the OP when I get back to my laptop, it’ll be left up in the meantime since there’s no night poll.

All Role PMs have been sent! It is now D1, which will end at a majority vote or by April 2, 7pm EDT. There are 13 of you lot running around, so it takes 7 for a hammer. Remember to screenshot the poll if you see the hammer before me!

Hello, and welcome to Assassin's Creed Mafia!

A reminder of the rules:

Role and character claiming ARE allowed. A character's alignment in the video game(s) is not tied to their alignment in this game (i.e., Ezio can be mafia, Shay can be town, etc.), and alignments are randed after character assignment. There will be a hammer in effect this game--meaning that if a majority is reached before the deadline, the day ends early. If a majority is reached and I'm not around to end the day right away, screenshot the poll and send it to me. Discussion post-hammer is allowed until I end the day. The thread will not be open during the night. Only talk to other players about the game privately or during the night if I have explicitly allowed it. Days will be approximately 72 hours. There will be no replacements or subs, players that have to drop or flake out will be modkilled or otherwise dealt with at the GMs discretion.

There will only be two factions in this game, Righteous Warriors and Heathenous Spies. There are no conversion mechanics in this game. The GM will not lie but he may not always answer your question.

Your mod for this game is Juliets, you know the drill there.

In addition to normal Syndicate guidelines, I also enforce this rule:

I disallow excessive AtE (appeals to emotion).

I define excessive AtE to be statements that directly say or imply that something in the game is having a negative impact on someone’s out of game relationships or well-being.

If you feel like mafia is having a negative impact on your out of game well-being, please contact myself or a staff member.
