Mini 573 - Darkstalkers Mafia - Game over!

[Alabaska J]

This game was beastly.

[ooba]

It was fun .

I actually thought for a long part of the game that flameaxe had killed me and was thinking why would have vig have targeted me - but that was not the case

Setup wise - the Day 1 lynch of the SK probably helped us more than anything else ..

Since for a long part i was reading the game from outside - the mafia just gave up - Xtoxm confusing Mokina was fun but i thought you would have counter claimed to cause confusion ..

Thanks for the game everyone! This one ranks up with Urban Dead for my favorite game in the site.

Comments about the setup:
- Good job with the duplicate roles to confuse the town!
- Maybe mafia was a bit underpowered?
- Why the "recruiter dies, everyone unconverts" mechanic? I think it was too harsh on the cult.
- People losing their powers when joining a cult, AND the cult leader not knowing their roles AND cult not speaking at night = cult not being able to effectively fake their night results?
- Your clarification PM to Mokina really made me "clear" her... I'm not sure what could have been done about it.

Comments about the game:
- This town really made all the right choices at night. And I'm sorry for pushing for the GW lynch
- I felt really proud for the SK lynch (even though I know it was kind of a fluke).
- Armlx made some bad daychoices - why did you brought out that DP was mafia when the town was going at me and mokina's throats? why did you say that SL was clear when you had gotten no result?
- I really liked Gorckat in the game: he really made all the right questions (although was also bitten by the distrust bug).

Gah... Silly little townies... Why would anyone, in their right mind, "safeclaim" survivor? And there was no other explanation behind the B.I.H. condition except for mine... that was just mean, killing me like that...

Flameaxe, you jerk, you tried to kill me! Thank you ooba!

This game was fun, town was an awesome team, though scum gave up a bit too easily.

I was particularly impressed with Claus, ooba and gorckat's play, they made all the right moves. And yeah, nailing the SK D1 really helped a lot.

Cult wise, I think armlx tried to outguess the game a bit too much, and eventually persuaded himself that there were a lot of uncruitable while in fact there was no real evidence to it. Why DP N1? Also, did you tick at all when you saw my little breadcrumd day 1?

Also, mafia outing themselves was really good for town, though DP doing it D2 was a little weird because I wouldn't have confirmed the block no matter what since it would have outed me as the cultcop -meaning most probably recruitable - and there were no evidence of cultdoc at the time. This is also the reason that got me really suspicious of Claus D2, I expected more resistance to my claiming knowledge of a cult since what I said was that I suspected a mafia because of the nightkill (while in reality the block on my investigation was what made me suspect a mafia): a cult with a nightkill would be a sensible setting, but Claus guessed at vig.

On the whole, very fun game, the flavor was really really nice, I loved the Thriller stuff. I think it was pretty well balanced, but town got really lucky and awesome.

2- ooba's incredibly lucky choice of protection on Day 1 saved the Vig from killing the Cult Recruiter and becoming another SK.

What did luck have to do with it? SL was confirmed town in my books , hence the save ..

- I felt really proud for the SK lynch (even though I know it was kind of a fluke).

I felt happy when he was lynched too .

I really liked Gorckat in the game: he really made all the right questions (although was also bitten by the distrust bug).

While reading the game , after armlx said he was CL - I also thought wouldn't it be great play if Claus was the CL too .

Flameaxe, you jerk, you tried to kill me! Thank you ooba!

I did not get this kill too ..

[Xtoxm]

I killed flame, i'm happy...

A samurai killing with exploding apples?

1- Maybe mafia was a bit underpowered?
2- Why the "recruiter dies, everyone unconverts" mechanic? I think it was too harsh on the cult.
3- People losing their powers when joining a cult, AND the cult leader not knowing their roles AND cult not speaking at night = cult not being able to effectively fake their night results?
4- Your clarification PM to Mokina really made me "clear" her... I'm not sure what could have been done about it.

1-2-3: I finally decided to make proper

GAME MECHANICS

explanations (I=masochist). There I explain all the whys and hows of the setup.

4- It cleared her to you, not you to her (as seen on Day5) .
Also, on the following Night she blocked you from protecting Flameaxe, which also cleared her anyway, so the PM had insignificant effect in the game.
And that was not an ambiguous answer. You asked if your protection avoided cult recruitment. I was afraid that simply saying no I would confirm the existence of the cult and clear springlullaby.
I said you had the power of a doc plus the power of a cultist. Docs protect against nightkills, not cults. So it was a clear NO.
Next time I will simply refuse to answer

- Demitri was lynched on Day 1 and Morrigan became the same as a vanilla townie in a game that was supposed to not have vanillas. Razz

That annoyed me so much. I thought I had gotten away with everything on day one, and then I jumped off the claimed SKcop as the SK in order to jump up to the next class of darkstalker and that lost the game for me.

Great Setup Dead, it was heaps of fun. I wish I could have been involved for longer.

[curiouskarmadog]

good game all, I could have used a more vocal and interested partner.

I thought Arm was the cop, I debated arguing arm's "investigation", figured I would be lynched in the end anyway, why not try to steer the town toward a cult lynch and by Xtoxm some more time...Was bummed we hit the SK so early...could have used Rogue's kill N1..was surprised when he flipped SK

thanks DR for the game..I always enjoy your games...let me know when you ply the next one..I promise I wont play as DP...

[Xtoxm]

How was I not vocal?

[ooba]

Third.
I had lot's of fun making rhymes for the scenes.

thanks DR for the game..I always enjoy your games...let me know when you ply the next one..I promise I wont play as DP...

I have a Large Normal (GIF Mafia) ready. I will submit for approval when Stoofer gets out of VLA (next week).
Also, I'm thinking about taking a little break (maybe one month) from modding due to time issues.
Maybe by the end of June I will start signups.

[curiouskarmadog]

DP rhymes were super hard..I tried to actually have content and points and many of the rhymes were HUGE stretches..

at any rate, I pre-in for youe next game whenever that is.

[GhostWriter]

at any rate, I pre-in for youe next game whenever that is.

Despite the fact that I clearly suck at forum mafia, I do pre-in as well, if you do not mind.

[springlullaby]

I'd like to pre in too if you will have me

[Dead Rikimaru]

Thanks for the pre-ins! ^_^
Anyone else who wants to play feel free to PM me.
DR

[Claus]

Hehe, I suck at large games... maybe as a late replacement...

On the other news, I feel this game merited some title nominations:
