Also, this is a real pet peeve of mine, and I wish you hadn't gone there, MP.

I understand that you're playing a role, and you have nothing left to save yourself except the pouty frustrated civ act, but calling something "unfair" when players (myself included) have been incredibly conscientious of NOT being unfair and not infodumping and making legit cases etc. etc. is a low blow and really uncalled for, even if you're just saying it "in character". Find some other language to use to throw your feigned tantrum, because we have been nothing but fair this game. We caught you. That doesn't make it "unfair", that makes it mafia.

You're going to flip your lid when you see the result, Canuck. Then try to tell me it isn't unfair.

I never said it was "unfair" as in I was implying any of you of cheating or any shameworthy act. Whoever is the baddie this game has done an AMAZING job, and has accomplished it without any of that tomfoolery. I apologize for the diction, but apparently my meaning was misunderstood.

Also, I'm not throwing any tantrum, I'm just rightfully wrongly accused. You'll see. YOU'LL ALL SEE.

I just want to say this has been an amazingly fun game, Epi, and I want to thank all of the other players as well, since I've had a BLAST this game, and all of you have been so incredibly participatory and fun to play with. I can't believe I made it this far, but it appears the incorrect assumptions based on Golden's and BF's thoughts in the very beginning were what got me in the end. What a shame.

I think bf might have thought she voted.....but she did not.

I'm sure Epi will be open-minded to consider ending my suffering, since I doubt any other weird result will occur today. Too bad you all weren't open-minded enough. :P

Sorry, voted now

This will go down as the biggest WTF reveal in mafia history, I tell ya.

And by that, I mean, I will show up exactly as how some of you think I will! What a shocker! :P

Also, I am a boy

See, BF? I knew that. You should have voted with me, not against me.

:P

By "exactly how some of us think" do you mean the last weasel because that's what I think

LOL, no, that's not what I meant. :P I suppose "think" in present tense was poorly chosen.

I think it was LC who told me in one of the first game I hosted that you can tell that it was a good game by how invested the dead players are in it still. So this is pretty telling.

Many of you didn't heed the police chief's last words...

“No, you idiots. The eyewitness lied. He was the murderer all along. And that’s why you morons will never work in this profession. You believe anything anybody says. And one day that approach is going to come crashing right down on you. Mark my words, one day-”

Congrats civvies. Sorry I was like NO HELP to y'all!

Good game, everyone. Masterfully played by so many on both sides. Many laughs were had.

we did it

Secrets

Roger Rabbit
“If you don’t have a good sense of humor, you’re better off dead!” *Secrets*
Nobody takes poor Roger seriously, and as such, his vote is worth zero. However, each time someone unique uses the “haha” smiley, Roger’s vote increases by one. His vote resets to zero at the start of each Day.

Baby Herman
On odd Nights, Baby Herman is a sweet, innocent baby.
On even Nights, Baby Herman will kick your ass and maybe even kill you. *Secrets*
On even Nights, Baby Herman pushes someone down a flight of stairs. If Baby Herman targets a civilian with his kill, he puts that person in a coma, and that person is silenced and may not vote the next Day. If Baby Herman targets a Weasel, it dies. If Baby Herman targets Judge Doom, Baby Herman is put in The Dip and is killed.

Dolores
Dolores can get you a drink. *Secrets*
There will be a different effect depending on whom she serves a drink to:
Eddie = Receives incorrect information from his tracking.
Roger = Can only post pictures of whistles the next Day.
Jessica = She seduces two people at the same time for a randy evening!
Baby Herman = He takes a nap and will be inactive all Day.
Benny = Crashes into a tree and is killed.
R.K. = Gets angry and has to use profanity at least once in every post.
Acme = Can only post in jokes the next Day.
Donald or Daffy = Has to vote for the other.
Bongo = Goes on a rampage. Mass role block.
Droopy = Droopy will tell his secret to you.
Weasel = The Weasel starts the next Day with 2 votes.
Doom = ???, but it ain’t good!
Secret to Dolores: Doom will kidnap you. You will be “dead” until Doom is lynched.

Marvin Acme
Like his will, his ability is a secret. *Secrets*
*If he is Night killed, then on the next Day, only his targets will be on the poll. Marvin Acme must target at least three people.*

Droopy
You know what? *Secrets*
Droopy survives the first attempt on his life, whether by lynch or Night kill.
Droopy may send the Weasels a message each Night. This message will go to each Weasel in succession: Night 1 would go to Smart Ass, Night 2 to Greasy, etc. If a Weasel is dead, that Weasel will be skipped and the message will go to the next one in line. This message will come through the Host. The message, of course, may not be true, but they don’t know that...



Smart Ass
Smart Ass role checks anybody the Weasels whack.
Greasy
Each Night, Greasy can send a message to any player, pretending that he’s Betty Boop.
Psycho
Nobody listens to this jackass. This looney’s vote is worth 0.
Wheezy
Smokes a lot. He coughs in someone’s face, making that person only able to speak in consonants the next Day. For each vowel used, that person takes one vote. Vowels must be reported to the Host to count.
Stupid
Has a bat with a nail in it. He role blocks.

Elohcin wrote:Congrats civvies. Sorry I was like NO HELP to y'all!

That's not true. you helped me by telling me LC claimed my role

Congrats Civvies

Also damn you bf for skipping that night. I was tracking you to try and confirm you were benny

Before I forget great game Epi. It has literally been one of my favorites in ages.
And well done baddies

Here is part of a PM I sent to S~V~S early on in the game, which was, from my perspective, the funniest damn game I think I have ever hosted. I cut out some redundant stuff, but I thought folks would like to know what went down early on in the game.

++++

Okay, so it's only Day 2, and already there are many shenanigans and fails afoot. I almost don't know where to begin, but I'll start here:

Golden is Roger Rabbit. His vote is 0 at the start of each Day, but each time someone unique uses the smiley, his vote goes up by 1. That's why the Day 1 lynch netted Aces (Psycho).

His own vote right now (on rabbit) is worth 4.

++++

nijuu is Wheazy. Wheazy can cough in someone's face and make that person post only in consonants. She targeted Golden. What Golden doesn't know is this: Each vowel he uses counts as a vote against him. He has 7 votes as of this message to you.

Good thing for Golden days are only 24 hours.

++++

Eloh is Jessica Rabbit. She picked Zomberella (Stupid) for BTSC. Zomb is broadcasting their chat in their BTSC, and MP essentially picked up on it being Eloh. However, what sealed the deal was that Zomb got Eloh to say who she voted for Day 1 (llama).

So Eloh will be dead meat Night 3 if not sooner.

++++

LC, the judge, didn't target a Weasel to control. It wouldn't have mattered because Zomb (Stupid) blocked him, so now the Weasels are pretty sure LC is Judge Doom (even though LC didn't even send in a PM).

++++

However, Canucklehead is OWNING Droopy. I handpicked her for that role. Droopy does this:

Droopy survives the first attempt on his life, whether by lynch or Night kill.
Droopy may send the Weasels a message each Night. This message will go to each Weasel in succession: Night 1 would go to Smart Ass, Night 2 to Greasy, etc. If a Weasel is dead, that Weasel will be skipped and the message will go to the next one in line. This message will come through the Host. The message, of course, may not be true, but they don’t know that...

This is what Canucklehead send to Bass (Smart Ass) on Night 1:

Canucklehead wrote:Here is my message for Smart Ass!

Subject Line: Event Triggered: Make 'Em Laugh, Make 'Em YOURS

Smart Ass:
Your team has the chance to recruit 1 player, if you successfully complete this challenge.
Beginning tonight, each night one of your teammates will receive a message containing a cartoon image.
That teammate (YOU, in this case) must then craft a joke/gag/hilarious turn of phrase inspired by that cartoon, and incorporate that joke into one of their posts the following day. How the image inspires your joke is up to you, but there needs to be a clear enough connection that a disinterested observer with access to the image could reasonably see the link. Be creative. Make it FUNNY. DO NOT make it obvious.
If/when someone in the thread quotes and/or "laughs" at your joke (by posting an lol, , , etc or by saying "That's hilarious" or some other phrase that indicates their appreciation of your comedic wit), you gain 1 point towards your recruitment goal.
If you gain 5 points, AND each living member of your team has contributed at least 1 point, you will gain a recruit (chosen at random from the pool of players who have laughed at your jokes).

Some clarifications:
-A disinterested Arbiter has been appointed to oversee this challenge. All judgement calls (i.e. whether something counts as a laugh, whether the connection between the joke and the inspiration cartoon is clear enough) are at the discretion of the Arbiter. Deal with it.
- The Arbiter has a copy of the image, and will watch the thread and keep a tally of your point total
-Each player may make as many attempts per image as they like, and each attempt may be a different joke, but each image expires when the next one is delivered (i.e. any laughs gained by Smart Ass after an image has been delivered to Greasy will NOT count). Only one player/image is active at a time.
-You must NOT post the actual image in the thread. Make your own damn joke!
-You may share this message with your teammates. You may NOT share this message with the thread (and frankly you would be an idiot to consider doing so).
-Begging for or manipulating "laughs" from players is cheap and will result in a LOSS of points. Don't do it.

The Host will inform you when/if you have met the challenge. If I haven't contacted you, you haven't completed it.

Here is Smart Ass' Cartoon:


Now get those jokes crackin'!

++++

That is why Bass made the "looking at pictures of Hitler" comment. The Mafia are going to out themselves one by one to Canucklehead in the thread.

She's a crafty one, that Canadian.

++++

So, that's where we are. And it's only Day 2.

Good job civs! You totally deserve that win.

@ Golden - you got lynched instead of MP because every vowel you used when you were cursed gave you a vote.

When I was cursed the first time I posted just enough vowels to tie the lynch and save both me and Ninja.

It was SO FUN to be bad in this game!

Oh my gosh! Canuklehead! I can't believe it! That's why I didn't die right away?! Because I didn't do my joke? Well played! Well played!

Man Eloh sure is batting 1,000 on those BTSC chats recently.

Holy. Shit. What a play, Canuck. You deserve all the wins that ever were won.

That is great canuck.

Lmao.

fingersplints wrote:That is great canuck.

I even texted Alex last night with this text: "Did you see Canuk's post? How is she doing this?!?!" Man - the player gets played.

I couldn't figure out how she was doing it with what roles were left, but I wasn't complaining.

Well done guys!!!

Zombs - how many vowels did I use?

Lol I had no idea any of this was going on. Still, I managed to mostly call out the right people, which makes me happy.

Golden wrote:Well done guys!!!

Zombs - how many vowels did I use?

You had 11.

I think it got worse when I went on holiday and was posting from a phone with autocorrect. That was painful.

This game looks like it was downright hilarious. Grats winners! Well played, everyone!

Were you counting y as a vowel?
