"But", today's lynchee said, "you can't take me away! I am a WORLD-FAMOUS WALRTIST!"

The lynch mob sealflessly professed to be as uncultured, and that he was talking out his sea bass.

"My nation will walretaliate against you, for I am a noble of Walrespaña!"

The lynch mob reassured him that they were walrevolutionaries.

"But you can't kill me! I'm on my fifth sealicide attempt!"

The lynch mob desealded that he was doing a very poor job of being desealsed.

"Oh, fine then. BE MY TRUSTY SEALD, PET OSEALOT!"

The lynch mob bribed the osealot with catfish.

And thus, over his vosealferous dissealproval, one of the most bizarre roles in the game bit the beach.

HE

came in the infinite night of the soul. The Old One with the thousand faces. He took the form of a comet, coursing brightly through the sky like the glimmer in a madman's eyes, a promise of ill fate to all who beheld under the vast darkness. His presence went unnoticed by so many fools across so many continents, but a few saw. They knew. They understood what portent they witnessed, and knowing there was no way they could prepare themselves, they descended into a state of madness. Lost in their mortality, they began to speak in unknowable, terrible languages and turned their thoughts toward the most grisly murders mankind could imagine. They knew that this truth would kill them, and one by one they ceased to resist their most primal urges as they foretold their own demise at the hands of a Power far greater than they.

They were visited first by the great one. He took the form of a hideous leviathan, grotesquely shaped, a quavering and bloated mass of skin and fat that mocked the Creator's design. He lurched upon the shore of the northern coasts, where the fog is unlike any other place on this shrouded planet, and stared at his cult with black, soulless, twinkling eyes.

They recognized the sign of the comet. They did not run, did not tremble. They stood and attended the Old One as it devoured them all with its eyes, its unfathomably deep orbs with which it saw the profanation of hundreds of worlds more glorious than this one. He approached one of his followers... He gazed at this follower with his penetrating gaze, breathing upon him with a breath that smelled of the decay of six hundred years of age that melts one's skin to insignificant dust. In the face of the truth - the final, ultimate, terrible truth - of this world, his mind was finally separated from his body. HE watched as the man's head rolled back, his knees buckled, and he collapsed onto the sand of the beach. With what could only be described as a smirk, a horribly twisted smile unseen anywhere in Nature, the Old One opened his mouth, and swallowed its victim into a place that was neither eternal rest nor a respite from torment, making sounds that men were never intended to hear as the follower's body passed between his terrible fangs.

Devoured

in Endgame.

At this point, the group realized that they could, theoretically, overpower this monster if they had the votes to do so. They did... didn't they?

At this point, a man wearing a fashionable jacket with rings of ice around the sleeves stepped out from behind a dune. It turned out he had already shot one of the remaining Seallagers while they were reading that ponderous wall of text. As it turns out, he hit the bullet magnet.

--- Syryana --- Seal Ion,

Vanilla Seallager

--- Became Boots Night 3.

-A Win Condition has been achieved! (a bit late in the scene)

And then he took a potshot. Business as usual.

--- Magua --- Club Seal,

Vanilla Seallager

--- Became an Overcoat in Endgame.

A flurry of soldiers descended on the last of the Seallagers. "BLOBBIE DOWN!" they screamed.

...then they realized they had made an incredible mistake. They were arresting a true AMERICAN icon. How could they do this...?

The squad of elite soldiers looked over at the chief executive officer, who shot the fallen Seallager point-blank with an absurdly-powered rifle, but the bullet just bounced right off.

The squad of elite soldiers turned to look at the abomination of a thousand worlds and a million years, who kind of shuffled about and started very conspicuously looking for kryptonite.

Without many other options, they released the last Seallager into a bay. Specifically Guantanamo Bay.

The Canadians lobbied to get the prisoner transferred to their custody for fair treatment, but to no avail.

And so, the last of the Seallagers lived out the rest of their existence in a cell. No one would ever lay a flipper on his body, because he was irreplaceable - the warranty would be void if...

...oh, you know.

[Sixty]

(Six-half) So. This game.

About the flavor - aside from puppies, seals are

also

an in-joke between the members of Sixty. Both of us got to see the Lisbon Zoo's live-animal shows, which were basically incredible, and we each walked out of the aquarium amphitheater's souvenir shop with commemorative plush seals - mine, Csaba, made cameo appearances in the production of this game.

Being the whimsealcal mods that we are, we decided to run this as a theme because why the seal not. I tried experimenting with some seal puns on Tierce, whose responses were along the lines of "Oh, god.

Whyyyy?

", at which time I knew this had to happen. Sadly, I think that (per usual, unless it's Maf.Maiden) my inspiration for the puns kind of fell along the wayside shortly into the game, which is why I'm very glad that people enjoyed the flavor enough to contribute their own. Really, that's the sort of player-side enjoyment that makes me sealtisfied with a game. (Good play? Positive outcomes? Pshaw.)

So... the setup...

It basically swung as hard as it could against Town from role distribution onward. Scum had a lot of power roles, but other than the Neighborizers, they were completely useless except against the Compulsive Vig. And how those Neighborizers were used! About 24 hours into Day 2, scum had compromised three of Town's four power roles, and lynched the fourth one that Day. The Neighborhoods, I think, played a huge part in Town's demise in this game (do you still think they're weak?).

I'm open to claims that the setup was scum-sided - scum DID have power roles in the Neighborizer and while the Town roles had standard power, they were a bit unwieldy between the MasonsNotCop, BulletproofNotDoctor, and compulsiVig - but this was still a winnable game on Day play. I think there's a lot to be learned from rereading this game, because the scum team's Day play in this game was hardly indefatigable.

Last, I'd like to mention that people seem to be pretty relaxed about replacing out these days.

Playing Mafia games is a commitment, and replacement is not in the spirit of the game.

Replacing out for casual reasons like what were given in this game is

not excusable

. In the spirit of this, players should not be requesting for others to replace out*.

So! With that said...

Thank you all for sticking with the game and/or replacing in! I hope we were able to provide you some enjoyment with our puns and 'shops while you engaged in your campaigns of social justice. I have two game ideas in the wings, Mafia Sylvia and Mafia Injustice, and both of them involve messing with the voting mechanics. Finally, back to mechanically-focused games! Here's hoping to seeing you around the site!

*Unless the player has established a trust-tell meta of replacing out as a given alignment, in which case there are bigger problems to sort out.

[penguin_alien]

I realize that it makes exactly zero difference to anyone, but I apologize to everyone involved in the game, mods and players alike. I’m sorry that I ruined the mod’s very excellent set-up with my poor play. I’m sorry to the scum team if in any way I made their well-deserved win less fulfilling.

Most importantly I deeply apologize to the entire town for completely sabotaging the game. I never should have lied, and I understand why it was an extremely bad choice. Not that regretting my arrogance and stupidity is any help to you now. I don’t expect anyone to forgive this.

Rest assured that I’ll be reading the ensuing comments. Unless someone has a particular aspect of my idiocy they want me to address, I won’t be interjecting further, as inexcusable behavior by definition doesn’t merit excuses, and I’ve taken up enough of the thread as it is without crossing the line into any attempts to justify my execrable choices.

Vi and Tierce, thank you for the game. Congrats to the scum team. Best of luck to everyone in their future games.

[Garmr]

Even through I replaced out gj scum team.

[Magua]

1. I don't like random setups.

2. Besides not understanding why penguin would confirm Walked as town, I don't understand why penguin let

me

people lynch Nacho on setup spec that he knew was wrong. I don't think it would've changed anything in the long run because of the Walked confirmation, but damn.

3. Really do not enjoy playing with people whose posts are "loldontgiveashit" because I find it impossible to differentiate between eg DDD's play and Syryana's play in this game.

[Magua]

In the spirit of this, players should not be requesting for others to replace out*.

If this is directed at me: I respectfully disagree. Your setups sure as hell aren't balanced to handle town who don't give a shit, you don't give investigative roles to handle town who don't give a shit, so unless you provide another way to make another player actually give a shit, well, gotta go with what we've got.

[Selkies]

Thanks for the game, Sixty!

Drawing scum in this player list was pretty much terrifying. Cabd and Kanye both played really solid games, and so did many town players. It helps when you know alignments, but I felt that again and again town focused on players who were giving off all sorts of town tells in their reactions to pressure.

Knowing that TPP was the vig, I'm really REALLY surprised I wasn't the night 1 vig kill. Due to the wording on the scum hide ability, we thought there was probably an SK in the game, and I had Nati or TTP down as the likely SK based on their posts shortly after day 2 started. But, TTP's claim came off incredibly town to me, so I wasn't at all surprised with that flip.

If I had been town, I would have fought that lynch a hell of a lot harder than I did.

LLD's paranoia was well founded. I think if you had been able to focus on the game during the holidays, scum would have had a lot of trouble on our hands.

[orcinus_theoriginal]

Going to second what fery said

Also I think Cabd is fucking masterful with a neighborizor

[Lady Lambdadelta]

If Penguin had not confirmed WIAC as town, I was going to lynch them.

I wanted to lynch Kanye today, but because I thought WIAC was conf town, DDD kinda sorta had to be scum.

I just wanna say that per the knowledge I had, in all my paranoia, I was extremely close.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

My worst read in this game was my Syr read, actually (or maybe my Smudger read from day 1, but that's -shrug-)

I want to apologize to this game for becoming disconnected, I was doing my best to stay invested in this game while being in a terrible situation, but I guess I just couldn't do it.

But yeah, looking at my reads today, I knew Magua and Nati were town. Fuck dude, if Penguin hadn't lied, I think town would have won this game.

:<

[Lady Lambdadelta]

Like I feel like I played this game for no reason, because the game was over the minute people told me that 3 masons existed in a game with a compulsive vig and a neighrborizer and a 1 shot bp.

Like, there was no way I wasn't lynching Nacho that day with that information.

Dude, my Syr read was SO bad. I totally forgot he replaced for DoesBoKnow, cause that guy was fucking town as shit.

Yeah, so, apologies to Syr, beyond that, like the scumteam played a decent game, but I don't even feel like I had a CHANCE to even catch them because of what people did.

Excuse me for a moment:

FuckgodwhyshitfuckWHY.

Ok I'm better now, I needed that.

I realize that it makes exactly zero difference to anyone, but I apologize to everyone involved in the game, mods and players alike. I’m sorry that I ruined the mod’s very excellent set-up with my poor play. I’m sorry to the scum team if in any way I made their well-deserved win less fulfilling.

Most importantly I deeply apologize to the entire town for completely sabotaging the game. I never should have lied, and I understand why it was an extremely bad choice. Not that regretting my arrogance and stupidity is any help to you now. I don’t expect anyone to forgive this.

Rest assured that I’ll be reading the ensuing comments. Unless someone has a particular aspect of my idiocy they want me to address, I won’t be interjecting further, as inexcusable behavior by definition doesn’t merit excuses, and I’ve taken up enough of the thread as it is without crossing the line into any attempts to justify my execrable choices.

Vi and Tierce, thank you for the game. Congrats to the scum team. Best of luck to everyone in their future games.

Don't sweat it. Everyone fucks up. Besides, if yer gonna get hoodwinked by somebody, it's probably gonna be Cabd. I'd play with you again.

1. I don't like random setups.

2. Besides not understanding why penguin would confirm Walked as town, I don't understand why penguin let

me

people lynch Nacho on setup spec that he knew was wrong. I don't think it would've changed anything in the long run because of the Walked confirmation, but damn.

3. Really do not enjoy playing with people whose posts are "loldontgiveashit" because I find it impossible to differentiate between eg DDD's play and Syryana's play in this game.

This is rich. You and Benmage should start a club.

I blame your complete lack of in thread rage. Apology not necessary; I'm frequently misunderstood.

GG scum!

Thanks to our absealoutly amazing mods for the game!

I will probably eat a mislynch of paranoia for this game some time in the future.

Also, if kanye's cool, I have no objections releasing the scum QT, with the note that I apologize in advance for my over the top gloating.

Dead QT / Masonry QT?

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I don't think you did anything special to deserve that form of paranoia. Personally, the only thing I'll be taking from this game is to literally never trust anything Penguin claims every again. Also maybe policy lynching her day 1 in a few games. I dunno, depends on how angry I get about this, and how much the scumteam gloats about winning a game that I literally don't think they could have lost after day 1.

[Cabd]

I meant that me neighborizing certain people will be taken as a probably-scum claim.

[Lady Lambdadelta]

I'll tell you what, if you get the chance to neighborize Penguin in a game I'm in, because I haven't policy lynched her day 1, I'll lynch you day 2.

If you really want the paranoia that badly.
