Whenever sloonei died whatever info he’d received last would be presented in semi-garbled “note” form with his flip.

For example when Alison was targeted she was told that sloonei visited her, although I believe that's the night Sloonei died so it didn't turn out to be relevant.

I did this to PSI and Hally, can't remember if I did it to someone else too or not.

Yeah I was aware

Yeah, just making it clear for the masses

TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2020 11:21 pm Yeah, what /does/ nonlethal do

Roleblock!

The ability that TH would've gained is marmot's ability to change the RB target if TH outlived marmot

If the target was force changed twice by marmot they would've had the option to change it a third time but be kicked out of the punk chat.

Alison wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2020 11:17 pm Also what do the orders do actually

Assume you mean the orders from LC?

They basically just dictated target for TSP, and then he could choose whether to pull the trigger or not.

The punk gang and marmot had maybe the most incredible use of a RB I've ever seen, blocking the NK THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW. I was dumbfounded tbh

TSP's role did not work on LC, Sloonei, Nutella, the punk gang, or Marmot

The punk gang couldn't block each other, if they tried to target Marmot, sloonei, or nutella the block would have had no effect.

Enrique handed out a wand on N1, if poison targeted either the person that started the night with the wand (enrique) or the person he handed it to (nutella) on n1, or nutella moving forward (or if enrique had handed it out to her), Enrique and her would've received a PT and a shared roleblock.

The comprehensive detective results depending on target are as follows:

Comprehensive Detective: told of the existence of PotU
Loyal Sidekick: get a mason chat with the Loyal Sidekick
Punk Gang: told of the presence of the Punk Gang PT, and that they have the ability to collectively roleblock someone. This counts as a feeding for the Punk Gang.
Comprehensive Assassin: both parties are told of the other’s existence.
Time Travelling Steampunk: Detective receives the same piece of the setup that TTS does if it’s an even night, or the most recent one they received if it’s an odd one. If N1, they receive the same one as D2.
Assassin’s Helper: told there’s a lost wolf (or a second lost wolf if already targeted Rock Star)
Rock Star: told there’s a lost wolf (or a second lost wolf if already targeted Assassin’s Helper)
Dimwitted: told how many town are currently alive
Mercenary: redcheck on Mercenary
PDC: told how many mafia the game starts with
Magic Man: told how many PTs exist in the game at the time (excluding PotU)
Insane Apprentice: told how many PTs could possibly exist (including PotU)
Paranoid Badass: told how many roleblocks currently exist in the game

Alison's thing was that if she targeted mac she would've gained the ability to swap roles with anyone alive.

Game is mech locked, nutella dies in the night, game is over, scum win (Vulgard/LC/TSP/Alison). I haven't read any of what happened today, all I'm going to say for now is to please be kind to each other in post.

Spec/dead chat (determined the Comprehensive Detective's targets, CD received a piece of the setup based on who the target was--after CD died sent targets to the Comprehensive Assassin, who was told if they could shoot that person or not): https://discord.gg/G9AS8ch
Mafia chat: https://discord.gg/956Ucea
Punk Gang chat: https://discord.gg/UqNppyJ

Remaining roles:

Nutella:

Comprehensive Assassin

Target someone every day. If they're The Right Person, they will die immediately (works like a day vig, day continues on as normal after the death). If your target is not The Right Person, nothing will happen.

You are town, and you win when all the mafia are eliminated.

[the list of Right People was static from game start and included LC, Vulgard, Alison, Enrique, and Poison]

Hyena:

Punk Gang Member One

You're a punk gang member. You start the game out of thread. You cannot vote until you are brought into the game. Until you are brought into the thread you share a PT with the rest of the Punk Gang. The other members of the gang are NOT guaranteed to be town.

You are town, and you win when all the mafia are eliminated.

TSP:

Blood Thirsty Mercenary:

Every night you will receive an order. This order will be either Lethal or Non-Lethal. If it is a Lethal order you will be informed of who it's intended to target, and you can choose whether to carry out the order or not. If it is a Non-Lethal order you will be able to choose both the target and whether to carry out the order. Lethal orders will remove your target from the game for an amount of time, and Non-Lethal orders will have an unknown effect. In addition, you have a one shot bulletproof vest. There are certain roles this may not apply to.

[an amendment was made after vulgard and LC died that he could choose his own targets]

Alison:

Secretly a Rockstar

You target someone each night. If you target a specific person, you will gain an ability (you will be told what the ability is if/when you gain it).

You are mafia. You do not know your partners but you do know that there are three more mafia in the game. In addition, you control the kill on even nights.

There's some more mech stuff I haven't revealed and will do so, but I don't want to keep people waiting any longer than necessary.

The "twist" so to speak to this game is that it's based on the kind of crappy American Dirk Gently TV show with Elijah Wood, if you've seen the show then the flavor and mechanics will likely/hopefully make sense to you! If not, it's a mediocre adaptation (with a couple bright spots tbf) of a Douglas Adams story.

You can now choose to bring the Punk Gang into the thread at a time of your choosing (they’ll enter at SOD or EOD, no mid-day entrance lol). In addition you can join their PT here: [redacted]

In addition, while you cannot vote for the target of their action (explained in the PT), if they choose to target someone you may override it and change the target at your discretion. Be aware this may have consequences if done too much.

A Shark Attacks

With great reluctance but also much relief, a time traveling steampunk dude releases his shark. It devours his target as well as himself, and then contents itself with licking its paws.

[mention]MacDougall[/mention] has died and flips:

Time Travelling Steampunk

You can only play in the thread on odd-numbered days. On even-numbered days you won't be allowed to post or vote, but you will receive a piece of information about the setup. At any point during an odd-numbered day you may choose to release your Secret Weapon and kill both yourself and a player of your choice. You cannot be targeted on even-numbered nights.

You are town, and you win when all the mafia are eliminated.

[mention]Funnygurl555[/mention] dies and flips:

If [secret subset of players that I'm not going to tell you who are] target you, you'll knock them out. This will have [an effect I also won't tell you]. Fun!

You are town, and you win when all the mafia are eliminated.

Day continues, and I’m not resetting the poll—FG and Mac’s votes won’t count nor will votes against them be counted, and hammer is now at 6/8

ISOs for the latecomers are now in the OP

(I’ll have ISOs for the newcomers up soon tm)

In the night! [mention]Sloonei[/mention] has died. They reveal to be:

Comprehensive Detective

Every night (starting N1), you will be presented with an OCCURRENCE. You can choose to EMBRACE it or REJECT it--after making your decision, an unknown effect will occur.

You are town, and you win when all the mafia are eliminated.

He was found clutching a scrap of paper that read “THERE IS OR WAS A LOST SCUM, THE GM WAS NOT CLEAR, BUT THERES AT LEAST ONE, OH GOD WHAT IS THAT AT THE DOOR AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”

In addition, Mac and alison have returned to the thread and may post, vote, and be voted for.

[mention]Poison[/mention] has died to the TK. She was:

Insane Apprentice

You start the game with no powers. There may or may not be stuff that can change this.

In addition starting N1 you must target someone each night. This may or may not have an effect.

You are town, and you win when all the mafia are eliminated.

Such a shame, now the world will never know what could have been had the apprentice found her magic master.

Night ends [probably in 24ish hours but this is a complex game and my sleep is really off right now so maybe a bit longer but hopefully in 24ish hours], get me targets ASAP if you have them. Note that Mac and alison may NOT be targeted tonight.

Magic Man Magic Man Does Whatever a Magic Man Can! On N1 target someone to gift a wand to. But be careful! This wand is very powerful.

Sorry for the delay, sometimes the universe is a slow place. Something something the value of patience.

You are aware that [redacted] is town (they do not know your alignment). The first time they would die (except to TK) you will die in their place.

Assassin's Helper:

You start the game with no special abilities. This may or may not change during the course of the game.

During the course of the game his role was updated to read:

Every day, you can submit a target. When you submit the target, choose Lethal or Non-Lethal. This will have an unknown effect, and it is not guaranteed that your action will go through.

There was further potential for this role that was not realized.

Vulgard was...MAFIA.

Send me night actions ASAP plz

D1 has begun! It will end Sunday, October 25, at 4pm EDT (or when one player has received 8 votes). Votes placed after 4pm EDT will not be counted (:00 = good, 01 = bad). Please don't vote after deadline, we're mostly on the honor system!

Welcome to It's a Mysterious Universe Mafia! A couple things:

Four players start the game out of the thread. They are players in the game and there is a mechanic for them to join the thread. They may not vote or be voted for until they are in the thread. They cannot be targeted by normal means until they are in the thread.

Days will be approximately 48 hours long (adjusted to fit my schedule). Nights will be approximately 24 hours long, possibly longer if necessary. If someone receives 2/3 of the votes they will die and the day will end (example: 12 players alive and in thread, Dunya receives 8 votes, the day will end and Dunya will die). Votes made in the poll are the official count--if a hammer is reached please screenshot it and send it to me.

The town wincon is: You are town, and you win when all the mafia are eliminated.

There is no generic VT role PM. All role PMs are customized, do not angleshoot them.

Characters and abilities are not alignment-indicative. There are no claim restrictions beyond “don’t quote your role PM.”

[mention]sabie12[/mention] is your MoD, if you find yourself getting unreasonably upset with another player, or the setup, or me, message her.

There are only two alignments in this game, and no player will switch alignments.
