[END] Talking Heads Mafia (RYM #90)

[Sloonei]

I have to say that this was perhaps the best and most intense game I've ever witness. I am extremely glad I did not play, as that would have destroyed any chance I've got at graduating next month. Amazingly played, all. I am jealous.

And thank you to MP for inviting me to co-host with him. It was great to see how things are done around here, I had an excellent time.

[Tangrowth]

In fact, Diiny, Sloonei and I thought you played such a great game, we wanted to give you your own Psycho Killer banner, so I had Long Con (thank him for the banners, folks!) whip this up for you:



It's not a winner's banner, but now you can show off to everyone that you were THE Psycho Killer.

[Golden]

Well done JJ and MM. You guys did sooo well.

Thanks Golden! While you were here you were rock solid too -- your ploy certainly exposed Mac and Bullzeye.

Yes, and then I went and died before I could follow it through. I kept wanting bullz to go down every day and he just didn't! lol.

Well done JJ and MM. You guys did sooo well.

You died.

Aww, alright. Tipping my hat to Rico as well. There is no way either you or JJ would ever have had my lynch vote from the day bea was lynched. I was pleased to see you two left at the end, because it narrowed my spectator options for who was bad (and gave me people to root on!)

[Diiny]

for any day that the ratio of players from The Syndicate to RateYourMusic is 1:1, SK cannot be lynched; for any night that the ratio is 1:1, he may nightkill twice instead of once.

jesus

I was laffin when you were complaining about the SK being OP without knowing this

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

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.

Civilians win!

All that ACEO stuff mattered after all!!

[Matt]

Way to go town!!!

Good job, baddies, very nice. I was convinced Russ was Love for Sale until I learned otherwise in dead spectator chat. Haha!

Great game, MP and Sloonei!

[a2thezebra]

What Sloonei said, but replace graduation with, uh, derping around.

[Diiny]

MASSIVE, Massive thanks to MP+sloonei for making this all possible and for responding to my millions of PMs.

Are you guys coming to the MAFFIES?!?!?

Spoiler: show

[JaggedJimmyJay]

WELL DONE TOWN!!!

JJJ, you managing to sway town on you without even defending yourself but with sheer fucking EFFORT was my highlight. WELL. PLAYED. GETTING. VOTES. AT. MAFFIES.

Thanks Diiny! You played a better rogue game than I've ever played by a mile.

[Epignosis]

Oh damn, just realized it's Day 9. Whoever that role is: you're rocking this game.

[a2thezebra]

Dying early was a bummer but also a relief. I can't imagine the weight that everyone carried in the game's second half, let alone the climax. Such responsibility has been proven to make me go loco.

[Ricochet]

Number 5 out of 10 uploaded ... in the s-sig... *sniff*

linki: I knew who Epignosis was ever since Night 7.

[MacDougall]

My poor heart.

Thanks for modding. Congrats civs.

[Tangrowth]

Actually, as you all will see, I made one host error this game. I felt absolutely awful about it... my RL situation got insane in October and I failed to take RadicalFuzz's secrets into account on the Night of his death. Because of that error, I knew going into this endgame, despite all of the various insane situations, that in the end I would err in the favor of civilians because of it -- since RadicalFuzz should have been alive.

But...!!! If Day 15 hadn't ended as it did, or if the ACEOs had never made Russ insane, here's how it would have happened:

DAY 15 - JaggedJimmyJay lynched!

Then during Night 15, Russ would try to kill MM, who at the time would have had 80% evasion. So there would have been a 20% chance that Russ would have killed him there and a 80% chance MM would survive.

If MM survived, Russ would have been lynched Day 16, ending the game, because MM had enough negative votes to secure the win.

Because of the RadicalFuzz situation, if that 20% had actually happened, I would have just rerolled, and then if it was 20% AGAIN, that would have been the only way Russ would have won the game for the mafia.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Massive props/thanks to Epignosis, who's legacy was a massive impact after his death.

...

I'll wear it with pride. thanks a ton, guys, really!

Now to rebuild myself after being emotionally destroyed. Now I know how a real serial killer feels.

Hell yeah, I'm going to the Maffies.

Oh damn, just realized it's Day 9. Whoever that role is: you're rocking this game.

Of course you were the role that I accused you of not being aware of.

[Golden]

MP has to get the suicidal moron award at the maffies.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Whose. I can't negate my props with terrible grammar. :P

[MacDougall]

Ugh Rico had role knowledge of me? Well that is the pits.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

My poor heart.

Thanks for modding. Congrats civs.

My read on you is perhaps the most wrong I've ever been about anything. You got me good this time, MacAttack.

First thing I told MP on Night 1 was that I need to see for myself if Mac is genuine stuff, the way he plays, or if he's just full of burgers.

What's a Maffie?

[Tangrowth]

Alright, so before we get too deep into postgame discussion, I want to make sure that we have The Syndicate's first-ever MVP Awards!!!

Sloonei and I will be handing out shiny MVP banners/awards to TWO players.





All players have a vote! Please PM both me and Sloonei ASAP with the player you think should win each award. You should thus be submitting TWO (2) names, one civilian and one mafia.

Meanwhile, while Sloonei and I wait on receiving these PMs, we can keep talking postgame.

[Marmot]

I'm just happy I got one read right this game. Just one, but it was enough.

I tried to use my extra vote on MacDougall on Day 6, but apparently I was 2 seconds too late.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

What's a Maffie?

It's RYM tradition to do an awards ceremony after every block of ten games. Maffies 9 is next.

Our "annual" Mafia Awards festivity over at RYM, where we vote on Best (everything Mafia related) and are gigantic nerds.

Thanks for co-hosting with me, bud, you were absolutely awesome.

Guys, I can't emphasize this enough. I must have sent HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of PMs to Sloonei about this game over the past two months. He deserves a round of applause as much as I do, if not more, for helping make this game happen.

[Diiny]

[Russtifinko]

Ugh, Radio Head.....the worst song ever performed by Talking Heads, ever.

Hmmm, Mp I would have strongly objected to that way of handling the Fuzz mistake, since an extra civ with 7 players left is a WAY smaller deal than one with 2 left. Glad it didn't come to that. Regardless, it's comforting in a weird way to know I didn't actually come as close as I thought. Otherwise it would've been truly heart-wrenching.

Thanks so much to MP and Sloonei for hosting, and to my awesome team for all the help getting me to a position where we had a shot to win! You guys were baller, and very cool with my off-kilter strategy. Except for you, Wilgy, since you made me Radio Head. Jk.

It sucks to blow through all the civ goodwill I've accumulated over the years only to lose, but I'm honored I even came close against arguably the 3 most impressive civvie performances to ever happen in a game (and all in the same game, too!). Hats off to you guys. It was fun, even though it very nearly consumed my life.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

A million thanks to MP and Sloonei for running an incredible game of Mafia and coordinating the cross-community theme. It couldn't possibly have turned out any better.

[Epignosis]

Massive props/thanks to Epignosis, who's legacy was a massive impact after his death.

Thank you 3J. The sheer amount of effort you can squeeze into a task such as this baffles me even after having witnessed it before. I really don't know how you do it.

And I'd like to point out to k4j and FZ., who suspected me early on because I was quiet, that sometimes...just sometimes...a person stays out of the way because he has an awesome role that like, skips night kills altogether.

[Tangrowth]

Ugh Rico had role knowledge of me? Well that is the pits.

Indeed! I couldn't believe when he sent in that target on Night 1. I kept fearing for his life up until Night 5 when he found out your identity with 100% confidence.

[Ricochet]

Did anyone, civ or mafia alike, in-game or dead-chat alike, figure me out as Literal Retard Cop during the game? I never hesitated after getting the reads, every time. Not one bit.

Can someone give me an answer, before I reach another 1K in post-game posts?

linki: @ Sloonei and MP

[Tangrowth]

y'all don't even know how great it was to see mac and choutas back in action.

Yes! I can't emphasize this enough either. I am really glad I have gotten to know Choutas and MacDougall this game, and was absolutely floored to find out two RYM mafia veterans came back just for this game.

I really couldn't be happier with the RYM turnout we got this game. You all rock so much. Thanks for coming over and signing up to this weird site to play mafia with us!

At one point around Day 8 or 9 I was doing a search for a specific PM from Metalmarsh and I arranged my inbox alphabetically. I'm pretty sure I had well over 10 pages of messages from you.
ignored every single one.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Honesty time:

If I don't draw the Blind role I probably don't finish with so many posts -- not just because it ensured my survival but because it gave me a huge motive to inspire the bad guys to kill me. So I never stopped pounding.

4 cycles for a cop check, you devil Host you?! I'd still like a word with you on my role.

But yeah, I mostly sent 3 and 4 cycle checks, because I couldn't deal with the pressure of worse odds than this. After I got the 80% on MM and JJJ, I tested MM's lynch as proof and tested JJJ with questions, then carried on hounding those goddamn baddies. All three of the rest were bad FARK.

[Diiny]

Wait.

Wait.

...

Are you telling me Wilgy and J weren't lovers?!

Fitting that it was your demise, wasn't it?

I really didn't know how to handle the Fuzz situation. It sucked. I have never made a mistake like that before. The spectator chat really burned me here and I scrambled literally for hours that evening to figure out how to not unfairly disadvantage the civilians or the mafia. You can bet I'm also glad it didn't come down to it!

I want to give a shout out to my mafia team as well. You guys really did not have an easy battle ahead of you, and you almost pulled it off.

[Marmot]

Thanks hosts for such a wonderful game, and for giving me a fitting role. I enjoyed this game a lot. It's been a wild ride, and it's crazy trying to be the guy who looks bad enough not to nightkill but good enough not to lynch. I made it a long way like that, but making it through the early going was key for me.

Also, who wins the award for the the "Live Wire"? I hope I didn't have to play the whole game with red underwear on my face for nothing.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Are you telling me Wilgy and J weren't lovers?!

It's jarring to know I was in such close quarters with a cold-blooded killer for many many days and nights.

[Ricochet]

Wait.

Wait.

...

Are you telling me Wilgy and J weren't lovers?!

lol

I can confirm that JJJ did not want to make gay love with me after I replaced Wilgy as ACEO.

[Tangrowth]

Wait.

Wait.

Nope! Nice theory though.

Oh yeah, I owe you an explanation.

I tried to get you lynched late because I roleblocked you the night when both factions failed a separate kill. I combined that with Strawhenge's vendetta (he also received a unique roleblock shot from the ACEOs and went after you when both bad teams failed to kill the same guy) and thought it was too big to be a coincidence.

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I can confirm that JJJ did not want to make gay love with me after I replaced Wilgy as ACEO.

Can you?
