Warehouse 13: The Mafia Game (Game Over)

[notscience]

Alright I’m done my food

I also would hope we really don’t think I would straight troll as scum but like... I get it

If y’all don’t Kill me I’ll see y’all tonight, I’m pretty sure if you purge my pool we win

Ninja-
Fried avocado, cheese, rice, chipotle ranch, pico de Gallo, lettuce and sour cream

First time trying the fried avocado in it and it was really good

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

who's scum notty?

[notscience]

As I said I’d go bm>Titus>math

In likelihood of flipping red. That’s a mix of vca/weird vibes I’ve gotten from the slots

[Battle Mage]

At the end of the day there's a sliding scale for all 5 main candidates, where each of us represents a hypothetical godawful scumplan.

At the bottom is Titus. Titus didn't actually do anything stupid, but her team was a bunch of morons for trying to bus her Day 1.

I would have made a really bad unvote on Titus that cost the scumteam, and let Cakez get flipped when I was the one person in a position to force through something else.

MathBlade stupidly bussed Day 3 but at least he didn't do anything turbodumb Day 1.

BM AFK bussed all game, claimed miller as soon to be last scum, and somehow expected to win.

notscience replaced in and goes "NOW ALL Y'ALL WATCH THIS" and straight up javelin throws the game

HA!

Yeah if I'm scum here, it's borderline playing against wincon

[Battle Mage]

Pooky is doing some good stuff by the looks of it. could do with everyone picking between the only 2 wagons with a potential majority.

[Battle Mage]

i feel like if notscience is town, scum are quite happy to push there today and save me (a guaranteed mis-elim at some stage) for a later day. so the fact the biggest unknowns are pushing me instead, lends itself to notscience-scum.

seriously, taking a step back - with my claim being what it is, why would BM-scum even care about surviving 1 more day? wouldn't change anything if i was scum, but as town, I'd like to narrow the pool and try and contribute.

[Prism]

I don't want to call it a guaranteed win, because it's not, but it just mystifies me why we can't get 6 votes on anyone and have done nothing for like 10 days in a game that is won 80% of the time by mechanics

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

why did you claim vt if you're a miller

[Prism]

It's still early in the afternoon so I'm not ~panicking~ but considering the deadline is morning tomorrow I would really like it if we could get a flip before midnight. I can go for literally anyone not Dunn/Pooky/Tammy/Spiffeh.

[MathBlade]

Will hammer whoever.

Not sure what I can provide

[notscience]

@BM- why does that not work in the inverse? I don’t ever make it to cylo this game. I don’t think scum need to kill me today.

The unknowns aren’t exclusively pushing you either. Math voted me then Titus. Titus voted you, yes, after saying she would vote me yesterday. I’m assuming she thinks she stands a better chance against me tomorrow instead of you (assuming in this instance you are town she is scum)

Prism doesn’t really give a shit who dies so I don’t count prism here

So like... I don’t really get what the point you’re trying to make here is. Like yeah, a Miller claim dooms you as scum in a longevity sense. But as prisms already stated scum is likely just fucking trolling anyways so it becomes which is the most plausible.

[Titus]

It's still early in the afternoon so I'm not ~panicking~ but considering the deadline is morning tomorrow I would really like it if we could get a flip before midnight. I can go for literally anyone not Dunn/Pooky/Tammy/Spiffeh.

I'll vote anyone of these as well. I won't be around tmo morning.

[penguin_alien]

Red sky at night, Agents' delight? There isn't much delight here as the dimished group goes back and forth on who the next piece of statuary should be. Trailer circles, whining, but cannot interfere. The decision seems to come down to two distinguished older men. And then it's settled.

Daniel Dickinson is incensed. "Why am I even here? I never wanted anything to do with the Warehouses!" "You know there are multiple Warehouses?"

His look of fury changes into sly malice. "I've forgotten more about the Warehouses than you'll ever know. You think you can stop me? Better Agents than you have tried." He cackles at the threshold of the Bronzing machine. "Like this will stop me? Not for long!"

His rantings are cut off as the door closes. With the push of a button, he is rendered in Bronze, all but a single glint of silver tucked in his hand.

notscience, Paracelsus, aligned with Mafia,

Mafia Jack-Of-All-Trades

, in possession of

H.P. Lovecraft's Silver Key

, has been Bronzed!

In the shadows of dusk, the group seems to take a collective deep breath. "One more to go. Almost there."

They start to drift away from the Bronzing machine. But then, a quick scuffle of feet in the dust, and a cry of indignation. "You can't do this to me! I'm the senior Agent here! This wasn't the plan..." Myka Bering grapples with a shadowy figure, but is quickly overwhelmed by...Pete Lattimer? He shoves her into the Bronzing machine and slams the door. Before anyone can react, he pushes the button to Bronze someone who definitely isn't Myka.

As the door swings open to reveal a Bronzed man in a wheelchair, Pete just shrugs at the shocked crowd. "What? Don't tell me you never wanted to do that."

borkjerfkin, Walter Sykes, aligned with Mafia,

Mafia Multi-Artifact User

, in possession of no Artifacts, has been Bronzed due to poison from Spiffeh!

(to be clear, there was nothing in the game to keep borkjerfkin from dying at the end of Night 4, so I'm calling the game here rather than playing out Night 4; also, the Negative Effect of the Artifact Spiffeh used was to reveal him as the killer if his target was Bronzed by the poison, but his flavor wouldn't have been revealed if not for endgame taking place)

Eleven Bronze statues. Eight breathing Agents. And one dog. They wait, not sure what comes next. The invitation never specified.

And then the sky stops turning dark. It lightens, as though time itself is moving in reverse. The dusty plain fades into a sterile room with machines, medical equipment, and chairs scattered throughout. Ten Agents blink to find themselves restored to the present. Warehouse 15. Delhi, India.

"Welcome back. That's a wrap on this year's Deception Exercise." A short woman with a harried air and data pad looks up from her station. "If you hurry, those bottomless maws down in the conference room might not have finished all the refreshments yet. Unless you're feeling any ill effects from your VR time, feel free to head over there. You'll want something in your stomachs before you face the Regents' review panel." Techs around the room start powering down their stations and, moving in small groups, the newly awakened Agents leave the VR lab.

Until the next training exercise...or invitation.

The Town wins!

And that's a wrap! Sooner than expected, but somehow that's rather fitting given the show's ultimate fate.

Thanks to everyone for playing, especially those who were kind enough to replace in. Thank you also to the reviewers, cephrir and Syryana. Thanks to Cabd for back-up modding. And thanks to T-Bone for his quick response to issues that cropped up.

This was definitely interesting to watch as the mod with knowledge of the whole set-up. I wouldn't have thought to make the choices some players did (oh hi Prism giving away your starting Artifact Night 0) but they made the game interesting, and part of my point in designing this game was to see what people would do with the tools provided.

Having the groups working together was a primary goal here. That was a significant motivation in having a Night 0 for the Mafia to make decisions; it was intended to give them a chance to mesh before they were put on the defensive. Much like town/the playerbase had a chance to work together in handing out a one-shot power before eliminating anyone Day 1. The page count limit was intended to make replacements easier and keep the game from becoming unreadable. I did look at other Large Themes, both recent ones and ones from a few years past, to get a sense of how many posts were needed for a typical group Day 1 and then gave that plenty of padding. YMMV, but I believe that also ended up working out in town's favor.

The one-shot power roles pretty much worked as intended. I tried to keep in mind utility and balance depending on which faction received any given Artifact, but it was swingy. Negative effects were intended to be mostly minimal enough to not discourage the use of Artifacts entirely, and some could be used as advantages as well.

I'm sure folks have thoughts here, but I personally think Day 3 was where the game swung. If SirCakez had survived to detect/steal the poison from Spiffeh, that would have put another kill in Mafia hands and kept it from being used against them. His death cracked open the weirdness of Day 1 as well. A game where a townie was Bronzed then might have gone very differently.

Thanks again to everyone who made this game happen--it was in the works since 2014, so I'm glad I was able to run it. Posts with game info to follow, then I'll unlock the thread.

Mafia Role PMs:

Spoiler: Walter Sykes (borkjerfkin)

"I hope you don't mind. I let myself in."

You are Walter Sykes, a

Mafia Multi-Artifact User

, aligned with the

Mafia

.

The other players aligned with the Mafia are GreyICE (Paracelsus), SirCakez (James McPherson), and mastina (Sally Stukowski) and you may communicate at any time while alive in this PT.

You know that Myka Bering, Steve Jinks, Benedict Valda, Adwin Kosan, and Daniel Dickerson are not in the game.

Multi-Artifact User:

Cache:

You may use any number of Artifacts in a phase. Artifacts will be used in the order you specify; it is your responsibility to communicate this in a way that is clear to the mod.

Every Night phase, the mod will post the flavor names of two Artifacts in your PT at the start of the phase. Your team will have the duration of the Night phase to decide which Artifact you choose to distribute to a player in the game (whether in your faction or not) and which will be made available to the main game thread during the next Day phase. This may be decided in your PT by majority consensus, but lacking that the final authority for the decision will pass from James McPherson --> Sally Stukowski --> Walter Sykes --> Paracelsus depending on who is alive in the game.

During Night 0, you may not be selected by your faction to become the Mafia Detector/Thief, nor may Paracelsus. You will participate in that decision by vote in this PT. The role specifications are as follows:

Artifact Detector and one-shot Artifact Thief:
Artifact Detector:

During the Day phase, target a player to receive a list of the Artifacts in their possession at the end of the Day (flavor names only).

Artifact Thief:

During the Night phase, once during the game, you may attempt to steal a specified Artifact from the player's inventory who you targeted the previous Day phase (useable in subsequent phases depending on its abilities). Once this attempt has been made, the Artifact detection power will not work for the remainder of the game. If the specified Artifact is not in your target's inventory, you will receive a random Artifact from their inventory if they possess any other Artifacts.

During Night 0, your faction must decide which of you will start the game with the following Artifact:

Farnsworth (Limited Reciprocal Messenger)

Power: During the Night phase, choose a target. If successful, from that night on you may exchange messages with that player in a limited fashion as long as you both remain alive; your player names will be mutually revealed. Messages are limited to 100 words (don't abuse the definition of 'word' or the action will be forfeit for the given night). On the initial Night of usage include the first message to be sent. Subsequent Nights will alternate sender and receiver (if activated Night 1, for example, the user sends a message to be delivered at the end of Night 1, the target may send back a message Night 2, the user sends another message Night 3 and so on). If a message is not sent on a given night that action is forfeit and the pattern continues.
Negative Effect: At any point the target may choose to stop the message exchange and have the full contents of the exchange published in the game thread with only the sender and receiver names redacted.

Both of these choices are made by plurality vote with the result going into effect at the end of Night 0.

Once during each Night phase from Night 1 on, the Mafia have a factional kill. You and your teammates may choose to shoot another player in the game, specifiying who among your number is doing the shooting by posting that information in bold in your factional PT. The most recent bolded action in your PT will be considered to be the team's choice at the end of the Night phase.

Your remaining power lies in your brain, your vote, and the use of any Artifacts you possess during the game as outlined below:

Artifact Usage: If you receive an Artifact during the game, you will be told its flavor name, its Power, and its Negative Effect. You may use one Artifact per game phase as outlined in its Power description. During the Night phase, in lieu of using an Artifact in your possession, you may transfer an Artifact you hold to another player. If this action is blocked or otherwise prevented, the Artifact will remain in your possession. You will be sent an inventory listing of your Artifacts at the start of each Day phase and will receive an updated inventory if the contents change at any other point.

Mafia win condition: You win when living Mafia players comprise the majority of living players at the start of a game phase or nothing can prevent that result.

Please confirm by PM that you understand your role PM and the rules and information provided in the opening game thread posts. Include the confirmation phrase as well.

Jack-Of-All-Trades

:

One-shot alternate universe creator:

During the Night phase, select a target. The target may choose to ignore one Artifact's Negative Effect upon use during one of the next two game phases. This may be self-targeted. If the target is able to use multiple Artifacts in a single phase, they will be able to choose which used Artifact's Negative Effect to ignore.

One-shot time travel infliction:

During the Night phase, select a target. During the next Day phase, that player may only post votes in the game thread. They may not used Day-activated Artifacts. They will be given a PT to record their commentary in during that Day phase, and it will be made public and locked at the end of that Day phase. They will still be able to be chosen to receive the public Artifact during the Morning phase or be Bronzed during the Afternoon phase like any other player. That information will be made public in the game thread at the start of the Day phase. All actions they took the Night phase they were targeted will be resolved during the next Night phase's action resolution even if they have been Bronzed in the interim.

One-shot alchemist:

Activate during the Night phase. For that Night phase, no protective or roleblocking roles work for any living players. This will not be made public.
