Well done JJ and MM. You guys did sooo well.
MM, I thought you were the serial killer until the day it turned on Diiny.
Diiny...
You didn't need to kill me. I probably would have trusted you at lylo!

First off, I just want to say THANK YOU!!! so much to my players. You all rocked it. It was an absolute pleasure to host every single one of you.
I also want to say a big THANK YOU!!! to my co-host Sloonei! Couldn't have done it without him.
A last big THANK YOU!!! to our lovely Mod on Duty S~V~S and all my wonderful spectators!
I know all of you are dying to know all the details, especially what the hell just happened, so those posts are upcoming ASAP! This really couldn't have been a better crossover game. You all deserve a round of applause.

This would have been my defeat post. I'm not even joking.

How the hell did Russ get lynched, though?

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
SECRET ROLES

Animals – They like to laugh at people. They're setting a bad example. (Secrets) Every day its vote is worth 0. However, the value of its vote increases by 1 every time a player other than itself makes a joke. Its vote resets to 0 at the start of each day.

Houses in Motion – I'm walking a line. (Secrets) For every day that it receives the second most votes, the value of its lynch vote in future lynches permanently doubles.

Love for Sale – Every night, it offers to sell its subsequent lynch vote to all players. The first player that PMs the host accepting the deal may control how Love for Sale votes the subsequent day. (Secrets) Love for Sale will know who bought its vote. If any player from the same forum of the player who controls Love for Sale's vote that day uses its night power against Love for Sale the subsequent night, it will fail. On three occasions, Love for Sale may defy the sale of its lynch vote. If it attempts to do so a fourth time, it will die of heartbreak.

No Compassion – They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time. (Secrets) Has no compassion for players who lurk. For the purposes of No Compassion's power, it sees any player whose post count is in the bottom 10% (rounded up) of currently living players to be a lurker. Every Night, it may select any two of these three abilities: (1) block a lurker, (2) force a lurker's vote, and (3) force a lurker to post more. If (3) is selected, during the subsequent Day, the targeted lurker must post at least x3 their posting rate in the game thus far; if the lurker fails, it must try again the following Day, except with at least x4 their posting rate. If it fails again, it dies instantly. Those posts must be at least three sentences each and be on-topic. If any of its own team falls into the lurker criteria on three (nonconsecutive or consecutive) occasions, it may no longer win alongside that player, and that player will be denied a win if it dies and the mafia win. If No Compassion carries out the kill, it must kill a player who currently satisfies the lurker criteria.

Psycho Killer – Better run run run run run run run awayyyyyyy. (Secrets) Since he cannot sleep, Psycho Killer cannot be affected by any night actions, and is made aware of any powers that target him. If he kills a player who targeted him the preceding night, he absorbs their role power and may use that player's power once at any time. For any day that the ratio of players from The Syndicate to RateYourMusic is 1:1, he cannot be lynched; for any night that the ratio is 1:1, he may nightkill twice instead of once. He wins as the Last Man Standing.

Also, I know for a fact I lost based on a random number, there. Stupid, fickle atmospheric noise. YOU ONLY APPROXIMATE RANDOMNESS!

Linki: Wait, but if Rico lost despite using an extra vote, it would have been mathematically impossible for me to lose this lynch, right? I'm confused now.

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
DAY 0 / ASSISTANTS TO THE CEO
The Syndicate - Decides on powers- A player of your choice may ask the host whether a certain player is a certain role. That player will be told yes or no.
- All female players gain temporary BTSC for one cycle. Info-dumping and role outing is not permitted.
- Every player picks a city. Players will live in that city during the subsequent cycle. (Secrets) During the subsequent Day, players may only vote for players in their city. During the subsequent Night, players will only be affected by night powers used by those in the same city.
- A player of your choice is consumed by insanity, the effects of which are unknown. (Secrets) An insane player has an increasing chance of having their night power target randomly redirected every night. Starts at 5%, increases by 5% each night.
- Five players of your choice receive a rock. These rocks can be thrown at another player to block them.
- A player of your choice can use their night power twice during the subsequent Night.
- A player of your choice can track another player. During the subsequent Day, the player tracked may send a message to the tracker.
- A fake account can post and cast a vote the subsequent Day. This fake account is controlled jointly by both ACEOs.
RateYourMusic - Decides on songs
- "Who Is It?"
- "Girls Just Want to Be with the Girls"
- "Cities"
- "The Overload"
- "Moon Rocks"
- "Stay Up Late"
- "Radio Head"
- "Mr. Jones"
Instructions:
- During the first part of Day 0, players are in separate forums, based on which forum they are from (The Syndicate or RateYourMusic). They will vote on the options available; no explanations will be given other than "no one has information" on the poll.
- During the latter part of Day 0, players will join together in the main game thread and will vote on two ACEOs to their hosts, one from each forum. Ties will be decided with a new vote containing just those players, extending the Day 0 period. The previous threads will be hidden.
- Each player may vote for 3 options.
- Each option must have at least 1 vote.
- There can be no ties. If there are ties, MovingPictures07 (Sloonei) will become furious. If either host gets upset, then all players from that forum start Day 1 with 5 votes against them.
- Each power and song will be "matched" up in accordance with order. The options with the highest votes will be paired together. So the option with the most votes from The Syndicate will be matched with the option with the most votes from RateYourMusic.
- Every Day, the ACEOs will collectively decide which song will be the soundtrack for the upcoming Night. Every Night, the ACEOs will collectively decide which player(s) will be affected by the song's effects, if applicable. They cannot discuss anything else ever under fear of instant death. If at any time the ACEOs cannot come to a collective decision regarding the song or player(s) affected, they will be removed as ACEOs, and new ones will be appointed.
- If an ACEO dies or is removed, a new ACEO will be publicly voted upon in a Night poll. The first player to receive a vote will be the new ACEO.

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
I want to say I genuinely did just give up with this game, I was so lost and really struggling. I honestly tried and had every intention of following through with what you asked of me but I just couldn't cope with it and had no idea where I was. I feel like I really upset you and some others (including my own team) by giving up the way I did and I'm sorry. It was all genuine though.JaggedJimmyJay wrote:All members of the mafia team:

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
I know all of you are incredibly curious about what happened during the Days and Nights... and I have to just say that there was even more insanity and tension behind the scenes than you all realized!
So I compiled a post I am going to post right after this one where I talk about various interesting things that happened every Day and Night. There are other items I excluded, but we can talk about those later as well.
Lastly, there is an explanation of exactly WTF happened these last few cycles, so scroll down to the bottom if you want to see that first. :P

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
DAY 1
birdwithteeth11 -- 7 -- LYNCHED Russtifinko -- 4
sig -- 4
Diiny -- 3
No real shenanigans here! Elohcin's vote was worth 0. Everyone else's was worth 1.
The key from this phase is that sig, since he received the second most votes, has a vote worth 2x in all subsequent Days.
If Diiny had been lynched this Day, he would have survived, and the lynch would have resulted in a No Lynch.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 1
Ricochet sends in a key 4 phase (100%) role check on MacDougall.kneel4justice (Swamp) blocks DrWilgy for the next two Nights!
Choutas elects to change his forum. This is incredibly important, since it will affect Diiny's 1:1 ratio.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 2
Long Con -- 8 (LOST) -- LYNCHED bcornett24 -- 8 (WON) -- SURVIVED
Long Con almost made it out of this one! The coin toss doomed him though. Night 2 is skipped!
Long Con's vote was worth 3.
sig's vote was worth 2.
Elohcin's vote was worth 1.
JJJ's range was 3 (-1, 0, +1) and his vote ended up on MacDougall.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 3
Golden -- 8 (LOST) -- LYNCHED Ricochet -- 8 (WON) -- SURVIVED
Another tie! Golden losing the coin toss caused bea to be lynched in his place.
a2thezebra's vote was worth 2.
sig's vote was worth 2.
Elohcin's vote was worth 0.
JJJ placed an extra (secret) vote on Ricochet. He won this from the Found a Job contest.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 3
seaside uses his power to view the correct tallies from Day 3.Choutas's forum officially changes to The Syndicate.
Bullzeye finally gets to show off his No Compassion by forcing rundontwalk to triple his posting rate and forcing RadicalFuzz to vote JJJ. Interestingly, JJJ and many others started to townread RadicalFuzz based on his read.
Matt F asks "Who Is It?" and confirms Golden's role by guessing it correctly.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 4
Sorsha -- 11 -- LYNCHED Draconus -- 8
sig's vote was worth 2.
Elohcin's vote was worth 2.
JJJ's range was 3 (-1, 0, +1) and his vote ended up on Diiny.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 4
motel room uses his power to randomly redirect all Syndicate role powers. As a result, Russtifinko drugs sig, Ricochet checks Devin, fingersplints asks Ricochet a ?, and Matt F redirects Elo to Matt F/Black Rock.MacDougall had plans to make flippy floppy with Golden in a genius plan, but with Golden's death the mafia's plan was shattered.
Bullzeye forces RadicalFuzz to post triple his posting rate, but he pulls it off during Day 5!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 5
Devin -- 7 (LOST) -- LYNCHED espers -- 7 (WON) -- SURVIVED
Another tie!

sig's vote was worth 2.
Elohcin's vote was worth 2.
JJJ's range was 5 (-2, 0, +2) and his vote ended up on Epignosis.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 5
Matt F saves the day! He redirects TheFloyd73's target from himself (unknowingly) to JJJ, who survived the NK.Interestingly, Russtifinko is the player selected by the ACEOs for "Radio Head".
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 6
MacDougall -- 8 -- LYNCHED Diiny -- 7
sig's vote was worth 2.
Elohcin's vote was worth 0.
fingersplints used all 3 of her extra (secret) votes on Russtifinko, but her 4 total votes couldn't make Russ a lynch contender.
JJJ's range was 7 (-3, 0, +3) and his vote somehow stayed on Diiny. Wasn't enough though.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 7
seaside -- 6 -- LYNCHED JaggedJimmyJay -- 4
TheFloyd73 -- 4
This lynch was closer than most of you probably realized, but seaside still was lynched.
sig's vote was worth 2.
Elohcin's vote was worth 0.
JJJ's range was 5 (-2, 0, +2) and his vote ended up on Strawhenge.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 7
bcornett24 saves the day! He protects Matt F and Epignosis, so Epignosis survives both kill attempts.Strawhenge targets Choutas and MM, which would have been an incorrect targeting if Choutas's forum alignment had not changed.
Ricochet places a game-changing 3-cycle (80%) check on Metalmarsh89.
Bullzeye forces Elohcin to triple her posting rate. Unfortunately, she fails, and then fails the susbequent quadruple, so she is then killed. She is the 2nd of No Compassion's 2 victims.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 8
TheFloyd73 -- 4 -- LYNCHED Russtifinko -- 3
bcornett24 -- 2
Metalmarsh89 -- 1
Just like Day 7, this lynch was closer than most of you probably realized, but TheFloyd73 still was lynched.
sig's vote was worth 2.
Elohcin's vote was worth 1.
Metalmarsh89 has accrued negative 3 votes thanks to his power by now.
JJJ's range was 7 (-3, 0, +3) and his vote ended up on bcornett24. He used his extra (secret) vote from fingersplints to double it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 9
sig -- 7 -- LYNCHED motel room -- 3
RadicalFuzz -- 3
Ricochet -- 3
With sig drugged, he ran away with this lynch.
sig's vote was worth 2.
Elohcin's vote was worth 1.
JJJ's range was 5 (-2, 0, +2) and his vote ended up on Ricochet.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 9
Unfortunately, bcornett24 didn't save the day this time, protecting JJJ and Strawhenge. This was a rough Night for the civilians.Ricochet places a game-changing 3-cycle (80%) check on JaggedJimmyJay.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 10
Choutas -- 4 -- LYNCHED Bullzeye -- 2
motel room -- 2
JJJ's range was 7 (-3, 0, +3) and his vote ended up on DrWilgy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 10
Russtifinko drugs Ricochet. Because of some ACEO shenanigans (see: Night 5), Russ actually has a 30% chance of his target being redirected, since he was previously targeted with The Overload's power (assigned to Radio Head), but it does not occur.Metalmarsh89 continues to rack up the night evasion, now he is up to 40%. Previous Nights he was not targeted include: Night 3, Night 4, and Night 5.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 11
Bullzeye -- 4 -- LYNCHED DrWilgy -- 2
JJJ's range was 9 (-4, 0, +4) and his vote ended up on Metalmarsh89. This is the first time JJJ's spread is actually equal to or greater than the number of players on the poll, so it was randomized among all players.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 11
Metalmarsh89 gets lucky! His 40% night evasion actually saved him from death, so his evasion increases to 50%. This was perhaps the most important roll of the die in the entire game. (Other than maybe Rico's survival on Day 3 and Day 13.)Also, I killed Fuzz, but he should have survived. Oops.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 12
motel room -- 3 -- LYNCHED Ricochet -- 2
Metalmarsh89 -- 0
Metalmarsh89 used an extra vote (thanks to fingersplints) on motel room, which saved Ricochet from having to face another tie.
JJJ's range was 7 (-3, 0, +3) and his vote ended up on Russtifinko.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 12
Unfortunately for Diiny, he couldn't try to kill MM because he just targeted and failed to kill him the Night before (yay double targeting?), so he tried to kill JJJ (failed) and successfully killed DrWilgy.Russtifinko tries to drug Diiny, it does not get redirected (despite growing insanity), but Diiny absorbs it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 13
Diiny -- 3 (LOST) -- LYNCHED Ricochet -- 3 (WON)
Ricochet survives another tie!
JJJ's range was 9 (-4, 0, +4) and his vote ended up on Metalmarsh89.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 13
Russtifinko's kill attempt on Metalmarsh89 fails, thanks to his 60% evasion. He now is at 70%.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 14
Ricochet -- 4 -- LYNCHED Russtifinko -- 3
Ricochet uses his extra (secret) vote (thanks to fingersplints) on Russtifinko, hypothetically tying the tally. But...
JJJ's range was 9 (-4, 0, +4) and his vote ended up on Ricochet, breaking what otherwise would be a tie.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NIGHT 14
Russtifinko targets JaggedJimmyJay with drugs... but due to insanity (now at 50%) redirecting his power, he drugs Metalmarsh89 instead! 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
DAY 15
Russtifinko -- 1 (LOST) -- LYNCHED JaggedJimmyJay -- 1 (WON)
JJJ's range was 11 (-5, 0, +5) and his vote ended up on Metalmarsh89. A coin flip decides the game, sparing JJJ from death.

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
OTHER SECRETS / DECISIONS
- The last mafioso standing has its kill restriction removed.- Since Sloonei and I knew that No Compassion's win condition denial was experimental and given the intense amount of posting this game, we decided to remove it. Seems it didn't matter after all.

- Sloonei and I also decided to add an additional condition to Sorsha's role: If a player does not have a Night action, then that player gains a secret extra vote to be used the subsequent Day period. I realized after game start that it was just too unfair to have no reward for players with no Night power.
- Most significantly, and I still feel terrible about this, but somehow I failed to properly take RadicalFuzz's secrets into account on the Night of his death. He should have survived. This is because he was forced to vote Bullzeye by JJJ, who is from the same forum as Diiny. I scrambled and talked with S~V~S to figure out how to fix this. In the end, the spectator chat screwed me, since I could not "resurrect" RadicalFuzz or literally anyone else in his place. I decided to have Diiny's next otherwise successful NK against a civilian fail, but this never applied, and in the end this didn't matter. I decided that, if the game got down to the absolute wire with Russtifinko versus Metalmarsh89 and somehow Russ was able to kill MM at Night, I would have that kill fail instead.

Wow, those secret roles are sweet. haha poor Elo....she was so OP! And Diiny got suer lucky with those ratios. He was a monster.
And Bullz, I gotta be honest, it agonizes me that you left the way you did, especially since we came so damn close even without you, and since I put everything I had into this game. I am working past it and will eventually forgive you, though.

My ridiculous role that I somehow lost with:

-Unlynchable when forum ratio is even on day phase
-Two kills when forum ratio is even at night
-Real live wire

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
I made sure to have extremely high standards for jokes with regards to Elo's power, especially once Matt F and a couple others caught on. The joke had to REALLY make either me or Sloonei laugh to be counted.Russtifinko wrote:Wow, those secret roles are sweet. haha poor Elo....she was so OP! And Diiny got suer lucky with those ratios.

My only compliment is how great your Psycho Killer cover was, and unless you absorbed the power of vocaroo awesomeness from JJJ, I think that one is on you.

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
Oh my effin' god, those stats!
I may still quit Mafia, since a coin toss technically decided it.
I admire both you and Russ for hanging in there till the bitter end.
So, did anyone got an idea who I was, along the way? Or was it actual, pure trust?
linki: speaking of live wire, who wun it ... :smallgrin:

Despite Diiny's amazing role, he played an absolutely amazing game, and almost got lynched on more than one occasion.
What really amazed me was that he didn't really get to use his night power absorption to its full potential... he was only targeted with ONE Night action all game!! And it wasn't until Russtifinko tried to drug him on Night 12!

Re: [END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)
I know. I'm sorry. The game was going so fast, I had no idea what was happening any more and no chance of getting back into things. Plus everyone seemed to have decided I was bad because of reasons I never properly understood and it was all stressing me out far more than it needed to.Russtifinko wrote:Wow, those secret roles are sweet. haha poor Elo....she was so OP!
