SUPP 2017 MAFIA: COMPLETE

[Punreader]

TO SUMMARIZE:

1. Per 3746, the pun have laid out precisely how they know I'm what I claim, even after they had no reason to hide the truth.
   
2. 3744 provides the proof that I am not fakeclaiming the mechanics of my role. The mechanics of my role are almost identical to that of an obscure source, a game Errantparabola modded and yet did not have easily-listed flips for. That flip? Isn't in the first post; the only way to find it is to iso the mod and look for it, something I would not have the ability to do.
   
3. 3743 provides a list of similar roles Errantparabola has used in past games; the list is quite extensive, as Errantparabola has shown a strong favoring to this type of role, providing further supporting evidence corroborating that my roleclaim is real.
   
4. 3740, I outline that I would not lie about this sort of thing.
   
5. 3739, I give as close as a direct paraphrase of my wincon as I can.
   READ THE WINCON AND TELL ME THAT YOU THINK I AM A THREAT TO THE TOWN. I DARE YOU.
   And if you think I am a liar, see the above points.
   
6. If that's not enough proof I'm not lying, I show my thought process in 3735. Highlights from there include 3311, 3332, 3333, and 3527.
   
7. But if all of that STILL isn't enough. Then I ask you to read 3737 and answer my question.
   WHAT DO YOU LOSE BY NO-LYNCHING?

Active: Moody

(

Your stats change unpredictably...

) -- Once per Night Phase, you can choose between three different one shot powers.

(+ATK -SPD)

Target someone to be informed of whether or not they are mafia, and do nothing the next Night Phase.

Also worth noting is that MariaR's investigation was specifically for mafia, demonstrating the nature of the game further.

[Vaxkiller]

The WTF are you arguing pun, 5 man scum team?

[Vaxkiller]

You know what I don't want to drag this out. I thought I would hear waht you have to say, but there is no way in hell im voting for soshin and desavil or wahtever really pinged me as hard town yesterday too.

Cheetory6

Welcome, Punreader.

Everyone here is cool and unique in their own right, But only one of them is the absolute

best

. There's only one of those. Guess who that is?
You are

Cheetory6

, the

Infectious Serial Killer.

.

Alignment: Cheetory6

-- You win and exit the game when everyone alive is infected. You do not have to be alive.

Active: Spread the Word

(

Soon, they'll all know of your greatness.

) -- Once per Night Phase, you can choose to visit a target. If their rank is lower than yours, you will kill them. Otherwise, you will infect them.

Passive: Chip Represent!

(

Man, it feels good to be on top.

) -- You have access to a nightly neighborhood that consists of BipolarChemist, Equinox, and Cheetory6.

Passive: Stadium Status

-- You are Bulletproof as long as your D1 ranking is above at least half of alive players.

Passive: Libel and Slander

(

Other people want that top spot.

) -- Any 0's and 1's you are given are assigned double weight.

The neighborhood is here.

TOWN WINS

And so we limp across the finish line, game integrity mostly intact.

Congrats to Vaxkiller, Shoshin, and DeasVail, who reach endgame and survive.
Congrats to the rest of the town for their posthumous victory.

Debrief post coming soon. There's a lot to talk about.

woo

[Errantparabola]

Thank you to everyone for playing. Thank you to everyone who died and remained active in the dead thread and invested in this game. Thank you to all the replacements, of which many were needed. Thank you to my backup mod implosion. Thank you to my reviewers.

Mod thread will be publicized now. Scum thread and neighborhood threads will be publicized in 48 hours.

MY CAPACITY AS A MODERATOR

Regardless of the complexity of this setup, my moderation this game was nowhere near the quality that I expect of myself. If you came out of this game thinking "wow, I'm never going to join another one of shitmod EP's games again!" then today's your day because there likely will be no EP games ever again (or at least for a very, very long time). Apologies to everyone who I promised SUPP 2018 Mafia to.

I realized that I just no longer have the time to moderate a game, especially one that was this high-maintenance. This summer was perhaps the busiest time of my life so far, and that's not even including the not one, but TWO games I somehow found myself in. I'm taking a probably permanent step away from moderating as a result. Thanks everyone for playing once again.

MODERATOR ERRORS

1. Two instances of forgetting to transfer a piece of information that was given to a predecessor after replacing them (to Commander Shepard and guacamole)
2. I clarified a mistake in a role PM to Espeonage but not to Dunnstral regarding their avatar bet. This was rectified before any potential major problems could arise.
3. I neglected to alert the worst to his stolen ability for a time.
4. The one issue that had the most actual impact on the game was me failing to resolve Krazy's roleblock on DeasVail.

VARIOUS TALKING POINTS

1. Before game start I had considered how to resolve the Message Facilitation + Odd Night Delay. I decided that because of the wording of the role PM and the way the actions took place during the Day Phase, I would consider it as a non-visiting action, but instead the two players in the message would visit each other during the day. This made it pretty unambiguously not affected by Taly's odd-night delay. I understand how it could definitely be ambiguous from an uninformed party (or perhaps even an informed one).

2. How rankings were tallied. I know there were some discrepancies between player calculated results and mine. I will say that the results were both calculated by a program I made and double checked by hand on my end. There should be no fudge based on unrevealed results because NicoRobin's were public and Skybird didn't submit anything.

3. Not ending the game as soon as last groupscum died. Read the end of the dead thread for a justification on why, but I think my reasons are clear here.

4. As for me replacing Espeonage somehow revealing his alignment, I had said that my plan was to attempt replacing any player for 24 hours before modkilling. Thankfully I did not have to modkill anyone. And Ankamius, who patiently waited as a replacement on deck, is the real hero here. Thanks Ankamius, take an honorary win.

SHUT THE FUCK UP EP JUST GIVE ME THE DEAD THREAD AND ROLE PMS

Here.
Role PMs are there too. Just go there. Yeah, I know Pun called me out for not revealing the flips in a past game, but when you think about it, isn't that a good thing? Less clear mod meta ;>

The rankings of the remaining players are as follows:

DeasVail: 5.22, 1 ten, 1 zero, 8th
Shoshin: 5.00, 1 ten, 1 zero, 10th
Punreader: 4.68, 6 tens, 3 zeroes, 11th
Vaxkiller: 3.89, 2 tens, 5 zeroes, 15th

[Errantparabola]

Oh, and great job to town for turning it around in a big way.

[the worst]

Congrazzles town!!!

[TehBrawlGuy]

Unfortunate for Pun - he pretty much won the game for town and y'all just straight up murdered him instead of sharing the win. GG folks for bringing it home, I thought we were hosed after Taly and I both died.

I gave pun a chance a few (game) days ago to come "clean" I might have believed him a little more if he "full claimed" then

[Vaxkiller]

I like that I was Papa Rizoto

[Krazy]

Errant, great job moderating and cool setup. GG everyone.

[guacamole]

Errant, don't be too hard on yourself. I thought you did fine.
