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!

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.

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.

This.

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?

Oh, Canuck... you were brilliant. That use of your ability...

Epi... what I want to know is, despite the vowels, could I have been lynched if bf took me off the poll?

Yeah, I was perplexed by that post, why would a 20 something guy post about Hitler?? So I loled hard when Epi told me that about the pictures of Hitler.

This was a fun game to watch, especially knowing who was whom.

Epi, you were an epic host, and I love that you set up the game to be funny. As far as comeback games go - this one made me feel like the Syndicate was home, and you deserve a lot of the credit for that.

And sophie, I'm sorry you couldn't win

That explains so much actually. Good to know I started off the game on the right foot.

I had feeling Golden was the one behind Aces' lynch, but obviously had no idea why.

Oh wow, a civvie win. First time I see one since joining (not that I've contributed too often to that cause in the past... )

Bravo, Canuck! Certainly wouldn't have wanted to be bad if I would have played.

can I use a player banner for being on a suspect list early on?

MM - also why I worked so hard for every vote... they all mattered. I really was trying to save your backside too lol.

yeah civvies finally

OMG i told you it was MP! why was everyone clearing him??? if you guys wouldnt have cleared him so much i would have killed him in night 8 and we would have win

I TRIED KILL MP IN NIGHT 2 AND COULDNT WHAT HAPPENED??????? I GOT BLOCKED, WHO BLOCKED ME???


literally mp was the only person i thought was bad the entire game, if it wasnt for the clearing i would have killed me much earlier. i still didnt believe him when lea got lynched, but couldnt ignore bf, fs and canuck claims.

is that because he pretended to be jessica?

wow, the wovel things in mindlowing! wouldnt have imagined

canuck, what a grea use of ability!

so, why did my kill of MP on night 2 didnt go through?
is it because stupid blocked me???

Sophie wrote:so, why did my kill of MP on night 2 didnt go through?

I believe so, but I can't remember exactly.

For the record, I self-voted on Day 1 in order to protect Donald Duck (bea), since I was Daffy. I figured if I'm going to go through the game with some suspicion, I'm far less likely to be NK'd and therefore, Donald would be safe. Unfortunately, they targeted bea on Night 2, and got me first.

It also happened to expose some Weasels in my eyes, and that was an added bonus. I was certain about Aces and Zomba because of their votes on me. I was certain about MP because of his intention to vote, but later flip-flop. Bass and niju happened to hop on the wagon as well, which I am glad others were able to call them out later on.

@ juliets, sorry I was wrong about you.

Congrats winners! Great play by Canuck, one of the best I've ever scene. I had to trust someone in those early days because people wrongly thought i was bad. i trusted Golden and that worked out great - he had an about face with respect to my guilt in the thread. But then he died and unfortunately I picked MP. I almost had to though because he was going so hard against me and convincing others - it was him or rabbit and I thought rabbit was bad. So MP did an about face about me in the thread and then promptly killed me that night. So I missed this great game. Congrats again to the winners and thanks for helping me Golden.

Thats ok MM.

it got me so confused cause i was SURE mp was bad on night 2, so i targeted him first, to kill him.
i came to the thread after night and *NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED*, so i figured MP must be civvie if he didnt die!
and everyone on the thread was already backing up MP, so many people defending him (he got people in their pockets since early on, dont know how you did this MP, maybe cause i dont know you that much but i never bought any of your defense) so i said "oh well, maybe i was wrong about MP". I know this made me look bad, so contradictory: i was ALL OVER MP until that night, and then backed him up all of the sudden? i think thsi kind of thing was what made me suspicion since so early

INSTANTS later i realize i havent checked my PM: I had a message from epi "your target didnt go through". SOOOOOOOO MP hadnt survived cause he was good, he survived cause i WAS BLOCKED! instantly, i assumed (correctly) that MP was among the baddies and the baddies have blocked me cause i was so hard after MP, so i FLIPPED AGAIN and started going against MP AGAIN.

i said "i made i mistake, i think MP is bad"

SO, cause i ve been flip flopping so much people started looking at ME as a baddie

anyways, MP you are one crafty baddie!


i always still thought MP was bad, but every time i wanted to brought that up, everyone became instantly suspicion of me. So i eventually dropped it off until the end, when the only possible explanation (i trusted bf, fs, canuck, knew rabbit was civ, bea was being backed up fs) was that MP WAS THE BADDIE, but then people again started backing him up so i figured they had info. bf specially was so sure about mp being civvie.


oh guys guys, i would so have killed him if i would have go with my instincts. The only person i really suspected through the whole game. Im kinda glad he was finally the baddie, cause it means my instincs arent that wrong as i thought, i still have it! i still can be a decent civvie like i used to be when i played mafia a couple of years ago! I will trust my instincts more from now on.


MP, i have no idea how you convinced the rest of the people you were good, but you had people vouching for you since the beggining, and that requieres extreme smartness and craft. I you, congratulations!

No. He sent us all messages that said he was Betty Boop. This was mine:

Hello, splints! This is MP. I am Betty Boop!

I thought I would send you this message to let you know, because I'm pretty sure you're a civilian after events that have occurred and considering both my removal from the poll yesterday as well as your post bringing that fact to my attention. That interpretation of your actions notwithstanding, I feel I can trust you based on your in-thread behavior, opinions, and baddie hunting. If I can't, well, I took a risk and I commend your game, because if you are mafia you truly deserve to NK me and win this game.

And yes, I realize the irony of me infodumping to you via message when I was insinuating what Zomba and Elo have been doing are perhaps over the line into unnecessarily blunt infodumping, but mine is completely BTS and not into the thread. :P

See you in the thread!

bea wrote:bye newt - see you next game no idea what side you were on but I love playing with you.

Lol bea. When you posted this after my death. Little did you know that you were the Judge's real target, not me.

omg, now i understand why everyone was clearing him!!!


DAMN MP


what a different game it would have been if my kill had went through on night 2!!!!!!!1

Did MP's role allow him to send messages??

And I said to canuck "the subject confirms the claim" because I wasn't considering MP would be allowed to pick the subject of the PM as well. I made the wrong assumption that Epi picked the subject :/
It makes more sense now that canuck was also sending PM's with a subject she picked and why she was so sure that didn't mean anything.

linki - yea juliets. His ability was to be able to copy betty boop
