gg folks

 

I didn't know if there were other non-town, so my plan was to enter day and activate my gladiator ability on Loaf, while trying to pocket Cass and argue how gladiator is a town role.  If we got Loaf lynched, it would have made me look awesome in retrospect (I thought Loaf was town) and I would have used my 1 NK for the win.

 

Oh well, got close.

 

gg again

Yeah about N1 I started to feel like you got a bit screwed.  Sorry about that again, if I reran it you’d have been a bit more empowered.

Loaf starts class this week and it's a 5 class semester so she's thinking she'll sit this out, but she'll play again in the near future.

Really hope you'll keep playing Mafia here with us...you did great and have alot if potential and were super fun to play with!!!!!

She did great!  Understood the game better than she pretended so no D1 pass in the next one folks!

So, let's talk mod mistakes.

First and foremost, I think Verb is underpowered in this game.  I gotta apologize for that right up front.  His role is a psuedo-roleblocker (it'll block non-target abilities as it did the Cass Lightning Rod at the end of N2) but in the original game it also punished anyone who holstered by poisoning them so they'd die the end of the next full cycle.  I took that away when I was making the game smaller, and that was bad.  Similarly, I had it setup where his gladiator, if it hit an SK, would give him an extra kill and I removed that pre-game.  TBH I weighed that gladiator about as strong as a dayvig and that was my error.  That was supposed to altogether make the Doomslayer a giant killing force, but it didn't work in 7P and I should've replaced it with somethiing.  Even so, he did great! Had he shot last night he would've won at the start of day.  

Secondly, I went back and forth between making the Dreamer ability 1 word answers or yes/no answers.  At gamestart I had decided on yes/no, but I messaged Voodoo early D1 and amended this to one word answers before it ever came into effect.  I think that's the most I've ever meddled in a setup in an active game, but I hope you all don't mind since it was before it could've ever had an impact.

Third, I shoulda split the Janitor and Strongman between two people.  That's probably what I should've given Verb to compensate, but I wanted an SK who only had one ability instead of two, and giving them kill modifiers felt like a reasonable nerf.  Also, I didn't forsee them getting CPR'd and having the BPV (those odds are insane) so I had to go look up whether strongman would penetrate both.  If I had written the setup better I would've made it pierce one, break the BPV, and then the player would get a second shot for the next night.  Hindight being 20/20 and all.

Also, if I were to run this again I'd want another townie or two, and I'd make the Serial Killers aware each other existed. Not who they were, but that three were in the game.  

Beyond that there's a bunch of little tweaks I made that I don't think were wrong, but they changed the game a lot.  I had two mafia and an SK at one point and I wanted to keep that, so I made the wincon to make it to f2 that way SKs could work as de-facto mafia teammates, but they weren't quite given the tools to make that idea stick.  Stuff like that.  Changing the masons to neighbors so I could add a slot as an IC.  Just a bunch of little things.  

GAME OVER

Sincerely, thank you all for playing.  It's been really fun to mod and even more fun to watch.  Below are links to the dead thread, the neighborhood thread, and a google doc containing the setup.  On the OP are all the writeups, a link to each day start, and full alignment info.

Samuel Hayden, cybernetically enhanced superhuman and chairman of the UAC, walked the wreckage where his satellite had blasted the Martian surface, BFG in hand.  He thought back on that event.  

A quick study of the body confirmed that this man was not the slayer.  Hayden wasn't even sure if he could kill the slayer, but he had hopes that this weapon might draw him in.  It saddened him that things had turned out this way, but footage of the Slayer on his Earth Orbital Station, of his complete disregard for the preservation of Ardent Energy reserves or of human collateral, said that this man couldn't be trusted.  The order was given to clear out, and Hayden found a seat on the wreckage while his staff swarmed like bees back towards their drop ships.  

Almost five hours later Hayden found himself watching a lone Imp sauntering across the rubble, fireball juggling between its hands, when the Slayer arrived.  There was no fanfare, no pageantry.  He was simply there one moment, striding confidently towards his objective from behind some wreckage.  Hayden held the BFG in oustretched hands, the trap set.  He was nervous, though this frame would never show it.  

"We could've been allies you know." He found himself saying.  

The Doomslayer punched him in the face, ignoring the BFG completely.  Samuel Hayden felt the shell of his armor crack from that hit, and he slammed backwards into the stone.  A second hit came in, smashing him back again.  Then a third.  Had he made a mistake?  In the Slayers hands a red sword of pure energy lit up, lifted high overhead.  Samuel felt his failure in that moment, knew that somewhere he had miscalculated.  This wasn't a man, driven by its goal, but a monster.  Just as the weapon began to slink forward a fireball hit the Slayer in the back.  The imp?   The crucible went dark, knocked free by the blast.  The imp began to teleport around the crater, flinging fireball after fireball as the Slayer turned to engage.  He bent and picked up the BFG.  NOW.  The weapon, fantastic force of destruction though it was, was a trap.  Hayden had it keyed to a teleporter, which itself only went to a room coated in D'Nurian scrawl that would hold back even the Slayer until released from the outside.  White light glowed around him and he was gone.  

Verbal - The Doomslayer, Serial Killer 1x Doomslayer and 1x Gladiator, has been lynched. 

Samuel Hayden bent over to pick up the Crucible, igniting its red blade.  The world was chaos, and demonic destruction had taken its toll, but he would be the man to right those wrongs.  He alone could lead humanity, towards a brighter and fuller future.  They would learn to use this energy source, learn to conquer Hell itself.  From the shadows the imp leapt at him, and Hayden spun like a whipcrack to impale it on its blade. 

Cass - Imp, Town neighbor with shared powers has been killed.

Yes, they would conquer Hell itself.

AWholeLoafABread - Samuel Hayden, Serial Killer with 1x Strong Janitor and 1x redirect wins the game.

That is hammer, scene incoming.

THE THIRD DAY

The forces of Hell were everywhere.  Gifted though the slayer may be he couldn't face them all.  Mankind would need to fight its own battles.  These thoughts drove Samuel Hayden, compelled him further and further towards the technologies he had experimented with, and would no longer hesitate to use.  He stood behind one sided glass watching as the demonic soldier struggled against its bonds.  These hellspawn seemed so out of place in a clean room, vile features stark against stark white walls and steel machinery.  He pressed a button and watched as the remote BFG lowered into position.  Let's see how well his weapons work.  A green light filled the room and the soldier was simply gone.

VooDooNut - Soldier, Town Hodor and Dreamer has been killed.

It is now LYLO for all players.  Votes are final and cannot be changed.

With three alive it takes two to lynch.

THE SECOND DAY - Hell

The Doomslayer dug his way through the corpse of his latest foe, a leviathan snake missing a large chunk of its back vertebrae.  Wiping off a layer of ooze he surveyed his surroundings.  Red stalactites hung like clawed fingers from a cloudy sky which itself seemed to boil in the air.  Below other stalagmites rose to meet them, framing a world seething in menace.  Lava plumes founted out, and colossal skeletons lay half submerged in the ground.  The slayer racked his shotgun but then something caught his eye.  A 1980's Casio tape recorder laying perfectly preserved on the barren rocks of hell.  He picked it up and began to listen.

Log of Dr. Elena Richardson, June 29th 2055.

What is it that compels a demon?  Hatred?  Fear?  We know from multiple sources that these creatures experience a breadth of emotion, but data is inconclusive as to whether they are capable of thought beyond this.  I've discovered a ring in this hellscape where there appears to be some indication of higher activity.  We show clear signs of a struggle, multiple sets of footprints converging on this location.  Whatever happened here, they left one dead, and it didn't disappear to ash like they do on our home-world.  More interestingly, scrawled on the ground around the body are glyphs.  My D'Nurian is rusty, but these appear to say something about warding off fear.  It mentions the Doomslayer.  I know he's at the center of this, but we've no idea what his location is or if he'd even be capable of assisting.  Further research is needed.  

End log.
