Mini 1667: Dr. McNinja McMafia [GAME OVER]

[Katsuki]

Solid game all. Excellent Modding once again, Mod

What are the freaking chances that both of my targets got Killed before they died of poison!

ya i was so confused about the lack of additional kills.

Nice track targets Suzune!

Sorry guys for trolling the dead thread. I couldn't really dive into my speculation like I normally do, without spoiling things, and it got a bit too tempting to tease Town a little.

I was leaning Boo/Ducks at the time of the replaceout, with Boo being stronger by far. I was waffling on RIP at the end, and ended up giving up on Ducks being scum, but I fell hard for Lucian's play, enough that I ignored his add-on about having Townread Blank, and his defense of Soren. (Though to be fair, I was pretty dead sure Soren was Town even before I replaced into the slot, so it didn't ring particularly hollow to me. I wasn't kidding - it was a bunch of disorganized scumtells that really didn't fit the actual scenario, in my opinion. )

By the way, inactivity is almost a screaming Town tell for me, much to my regret. It's not that I like playing that way, nor that I don't have plenty of Town games where I've had a fairly decent presence, but I find it easier by far to make up convincing reads than I do actually coming up with real ones. (Ducks, I'm really disappointed in you for not listening to me about Boo earlier, after Pick your Power. )

I was having trouble getting into the game after the second day, due to me only being able to post during the very late nights, and I was really lacking confidence after Blank turned out to be Town. (The worst thing is, I sort of realized the holes in my case after sleeping on it, but I still wanted him more than Grapes.) It was an exhausting time, both emotionally & mentally, and that killed my ability to focus on the game. (Farside getting venged was a bit of a sore point, too. I hate it when my few 99% confident Townreads get removed, particularly like that.)

I hope I can play with you guys again, sometime, when I can devote my full attention to the game. Unfortunately, I've ended up replacing out of a number of games recently, and I kinda want to take a break, until I can guarantee I'll have the time. This is the second time in a row that I got too ambitious, and it really showed.

It's all good. I only started to doubt my Lucian read after I hammered myself. The way he came back into the thread seemed way off. You scared me in the dead thread though. Think I need to apologize to Soren for how hard I came down on him Day 1.

Also like to apologize if anyone to anyone who thought my hammer made me a VI. At the time, I didn't see any other option there. I didn't think I could fight the wagon off and didn't want it to carry to day 2, where I figured it lead to the same thing and waste town's time. So I thought I'd try a very badly reasoned gambit, that I'd say I'd hammer myself at a certain time unless someone else did and see if anyone did anything about it. Hindsight, I gave Boo an excuse

not

to hammer me. So sorry for being useless there.

GG everyone.

[farside22]

Well I was spot on about boo.
I guess pb killing me made no difference since d3x poisoned me.
That replace out from Soren was terrible.

[Soren]

So how many bookittys I mean hello kitties are in this game now?

And lol at Lucian. He finally got mafia.

Two I think. Just two Hello Kitties.

Sorry for tunneling you so hard Soren.

[Soren]

I played so bad. I had it coming.

[SloppyJoe]

Sorry about the mis-read, Kats.

That concludes Mini 1667: Dr. McNinja McMafia! Thanks a lot for playing, everybody! I hope you had fun. Running this game was a bit frustrating for me here and there, but it was an enjoyable experience overall. If anyone has any questions, please let me know.

Congratulations on the victory, Town! I honestly was not expecting you guys to win this one. When not one, not two, but

three

Town PRs failed to submit a night action on Night 3, I figured the apathy was just too much for Town to overcome and the Mafia was going to coast to an easy victory. If Bookitty had been online during the 12-minute stretch where Katsuki was at L-1 on Day 4, it would have been all over. Way to turn things around right at the very end.

Thanks for running this and letting me play! I like Dr. McNinja, and the game was well-run!!

And my lynch was probably a good thing, since they weren't even close to catching scum at that point, and I was already poisoned.

[Skullduggery]

Thanks, guys. I'm glad this game was a success. I hope I was able to create a few new Dr. McNinja fans over the past two months. (Seriously, this comic is great. If you aren't following it, you should be.)

Few random notes:

• The setup's similarities to Dangan Ronpa Mafia were purely coincidental and I never would have even made the connection if Salamence hadn't pointed it out. I wanted to give Town a useful investigative role (Tracker) that would pose a threat to Scum but not the Serial Killer, hence why the Serial Killer was a Poisoner. He wasn't originally one-shot Bulletproof and the Vengeful Townie was originally a one-shot PGO, so a few changes were made during the review process that kinda sorta accidentally made this game similar to Dangan Ronpa. Oops.
  
  
  
• As you probably saw in the dead thread, the Inventor was my favorite role, so I was expecting it to die early. Instead, he survived all the way to the end, so what do I know? It's a little bittersweet, though, since none of his inventions actually came into play.
  
  
  
• I wish I could say that VysePresident playing as the President was intentional, but no, it was just a silly coincidence.
  
  
  
• Much respect to d3x for sticking with the game despite all the real-life craziness he went through at the beginning of the game. I had high hopes for you this game, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. In a perfect world, you would have lived long enough to claim Doctor and the Mafia team would have left you alone for the rest of the game since they had a Strongman who wasn't afraid of you stopping their kills. That was the main reason why the Mafia had an unlimited Strongman despite the Town having zero protective roles; it was specifically to improve the Serial Killer's chances. Oh well.
  
  
  
• Also, both of d3x's targets dying of other means before the poison could kill them was just plain bad luck.

Yup.

[RIP]

Gg. Subbing into this game was hard as we were in horrible shape.

[Skullduggery]

I don't see any objections from Bookitty or RIP, so the Mafia topic is now public.

[grapes]

gg

was a joy watching town bring it all the way back like that

[Soren]

That scum topic was awesome read. Now I know how to read Lucian when he's scum.

Also, lol at ducky http://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.ph ... 0#p6921260
