Mini 1478 ~ Mafia Xenologue (Game Over!)

[Jabberwock]

Coroner, We Are Really Fucking Awesome, etc.

Is this a oneshot or X-shot ability?


And can you provide links to those games/rolecards?

There's really no Town reason for us to answer that first question, massclaim or not.

As for the second one, have fun.

[Saki]

There's really no Town reason for us to answer that first question, massclaim or not.

......and you doubt my claim

[morph the cat]

See Louvre Mafia, with Mumm-Vi, the Ever Living and Never Tasting Wild Duck Cooked with Honey and Garlic, and Vi's discontent when s.lullaby wanted to make the role Compulsive by default.

Not in vi's modded games list, I can hunt it down or you can gimmie a link, either-or.

Saki, do any of your roles hint at them doing something when a character or user dies?

Oh, sorry. It's not a Vi game, it's a game that Vi played in and shows Vi's reactions to SKs and Compulsiveness. Here.


Saki, sweetheart, claiming Coroner shots is much different from I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY ABILITIES DO BUT BTW THEY MIGHT DO SOMETHING OR NOT AND THEY ARE PASSIVE AND ETC. So sit down and keep trying to lynch us. It gives a nice ticklish feeling on our scales.

[Saki]

No, but I see the attitude behind claims as rather contradictory.

re: Saki "OMFG YOU AREN'T FULLCLAIMING OR PROVIDING DECENT ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR CLAIM. I DON'T BELIEVE YOUR CLAIM AT ALL."

re: yourself "I'm not answering stupid questions regarding my claim."

Uh, looking at it from a general perspective, it's not much different.

Tell me what is so "anti-town" about claiming Coroner shots.

[Daemon385]

I am Yune. The numbers go slower when I'm alive, and I know it's GG if the numbers get too high. Idk how high but ive waited this long until potential lylo because outing myself of that would probobly make me a pretty obvious night kill. Which os also why ive layed low all game. My other ability allowed me to inherit Prohawk's weird bodyguard role as a oneshot when he died. I used it last night to protect morph and jabberwocky last night. If I had saved it would only have let me target one player tomorrow whoch I figured 2 was better then one.

As for my vote

Vote:Jabberwocky

Because not full claiming while there is a vote on you when you think scum might quick hammer isn't very town logic. So full claim NOW!

[Andrius]

Vote: Jabberwock

[morph the cat]

VOTE: Jabberwocky

Tierce this self-aTe and self-meta is horrible. You're scum and saki isn't. Nacho was wrong, LLD and saki are right.

I mean you're not even trying to get saki to unvote, town tierce would be yelling kicking and screaming.

[Andrius]

do I need a reason to vote

[morph the cat]

...oh my
Fuck.

[Daemon385]

Woah woah woah wtf? Why hammer him? WTF! Let him full claim first! What are you guys doing he could be town one of you take your vote down we can't take the chance of killing another town or we are fucked as town we need to stick together!

Soren got lynched. This is really disappointing, because Soren is awesome.

Incidentally, my opinion is that wondercritter is best prepared with rice or noodles - actually like a stir fry. You would cook it, of course, with a Jabberwok.

Tarhalindur, Satori Komeiji over Mafia

Source:

Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism (TH11)

Class:

Satori

Alignment:

Mafia

Win Condition:

Standard

Bio:

In the ultimate show of "get off my lawn", you have emerged from Hell - well, okay, it *used* to be Hell, but close enough - to drive a bunch of surface-bound warriors away. The quickest means of doing so involves allying with the Mafia, because they're pretty much guaranteed to be able to kill people at Night and that will get people to GO AWAY faster. Note to all who can behold: Terrifying universe-destroying megalomaniacal nightmare creatures taking the form of three-eyed lolitas need their me time.

Abilities:

Tapestry of Lace and Bullets:

You may communicate with your scumpartners in <this> QuickTopic. You may also perform the factional kill each Night IN ADDITION TO any other action you may care to take.

Asocial:

You may not post in any QuickTopic you are a part of

. Factional communication (the Mafia chat thread in particular) is excepted from this ability.

Mental Tap:

During each Day you may target a player. You will gain access to any QuickTopic they have access to during that Night, provided it is not a factional chat.

Suggest:

During each Day you may target a player. You will open a QuickTopic with that player.

Mind Read:

At the end of each Night you will passively discern the last active ability successfully used by each player you have an open QuickTopic with.

Recollection:

During each Night you may target a player and name an ability in this game (with all appropriate parameters). Provided that ability exists in the game, you may use it as if you had it yourself. One-shot abilities may be used multiple times this way. Use of this ability does not count toward the number of active abilities you are using this Night.

Terrifying Hypnotism:

At the beginning of the game, you may choose whether to make it so that while you are alive in the game, you will cause steadily escalating blue numbers to appear in each mod post similarly to Mafia Behind the Maiden. (The numbers will behave realistically but have no ingame effect.)

Might I suggest this safeclaim?

You are half of the goddess of dawn, neither holy nor base, neither angel nor devil, but freedom, chaos, transformation, future, and mystery. And, most importantly, stuck in a medallion where your essence burns as a flame seeking to escape. You want the best for humanity... even if humanity doesn't... Hopefully what you can do from where you're at will be enough.

Abilities:

Countdown to Extinction:

You know that the blue numbers in each mod post will steadily count upward as time passes and the body count rises. If it reaches a sufficiently high number, the game will end.

Suppression of the Medallion:

You know that while you are alive, the blue number will increase more slowly.

Silent Witness:

Being a stone implement,

you may not under any circumstances post in a QuickTopic thread.

Fascination with the Glow:

During each Night you may target a player to open a QuickTopic with them.

Blessing of Chaos:

You don't know what this ability does.

Abilities:

BEG FOR YOUR LIFE!

During any Day before the hammer vote is cast, you may PM the moderator to use this ability. After a lynching vote is cast, the Day will continue for an additional 24 hours. The player with the most votes at the end of the 24 hours will be the Day's lynch.

Alignment:

Win Condition:

Standard

Bio:

Formerly a commander in Daein's army under Ashnard, you have now set up a peaceful delivery service and have no desire to wage war. That doesn't make you a fool... quite the opposite, it makes you someone who's doing their part to ensure that everyone lives a long life without any interference from power-hungry nobles. Much like, you'll surely soon find, those trying to take over here.

Abilities:

IGMEOU:

During each Night you may target a player to learn the nature of the ability they used during that Night. (This will not catch factional kills unless it is the only active ability they used.)

Experience Talking:

During each Night you may target a player to receive the text of their (nonfactional) abilities. You may not receive all of them on a given Night due to the below abilities.

Nap Time:

Despite what people may think, your constant napping isn't a sham. You will at times be unable to post, even in QuickTopics. This may interfere with your ability to use or obtain results from any Night actions you may have.

Can Nap Just About Anywhere:

You may nap for at least three real-time Days upon request. During this time you will not be able to post or take action. You can do this to avoid being forced to sleep later.

Please confirm by replying to this message with your alignment. I wish you the best of luck.

Mod Note: Days are 100% long and Nights are 20% long. Within each cycle, Haar needs 40% sleep. Any sleep not taken by the end of the Night transfers to the next Day. IGMEOU takes 20% sleep and Experience Talking takes 15% per ability. If the Day ends with less than 20% left, Haar immediately falls asleep. Otherwise, he is able to use IGMEOU and the lost sleep will be stacked onto the next Day. If he uses Experience Talking he gains information for each 15% he can spend before Night would normally fall, at which time he will sleep for the rest of it. Sleep taken during the Day by Can Nap etc. is worth 2/3 of the battery drain during that time, and sleep taken as carryover from the previous Night is worth half the battery drain during that time.

Sacrifice:

Once during each phase, you may pour your life's essence into another player. If they would die that phase, they will instead not. If this would cause a lynch to be stopped, the game will go to Night with no lynch.

*You may kill a player, provided they target Oil Tycoons this Night.

*unsettling giggle*:

If you were Neighborized with a player on a given Night, you may control their vote at will the next Day. If you can name an ability they have, you can also force them to use it however you like during the Night of the Neighborization or the following Day (as apporpriate) via PMing the mod as if you were using it yourself, though this will count as your ability use for the Night if you do this for a Day action.

Please confirm by replying to this message with your alignment. I wish you the best of luck.

[Vi]

Right. This setup.

I pretty much always start my mod commentary by apologizing for the sheer awfulness of the setup and its moderation. This will not be an exception. The UPick concept is about showing off a mod's ability to put together a setup about anything in a short amount of time. I, on the other hand, thrive on being a total paranoiac and making sure that the setup is as solid as I can get it given my own ability to understand it. It shouldn't surprise you, then, that I began finding several hilarious ways that this setup could go wrong - and not just in the "lol overpowered" sense, but the "this can screw a faction over" sense - within hours of the game beginning. To give you one example, had the scum decided to quicklynch Saki on the last Day, the lynch would not have been processed, the vote count would have reset, and all three scum would have had to give some very compelling (or amusing) explanations for that sudden surge of votes. So simply put, the setup was garbage. Almost all of my setups are experimental in some way or another, and this is an experiment I will gladly not repeat.

I would like to apologize to all the people who got mystery abilities in this game in particular. I was worried that the abilities could be "gamed" if the players knew about them (particularly Saki's Rift Door). In retrospect, that was just a really bad design choice, I should feel bad, and I do feel bad.

Luckily, the play in this game was also garbage, to be quite honest. The complexity of the roles was beyond several players, and there were at least three instances of players just not sending in actions. I don't think anyone noticed. The scum didn't realize until Night 3 (or in one person's case, a few hours into Night 4) that they could kill and take another action at the same time, because reading Role PMs just isn't in vogue right now. The Day 1 lynch was a quicklynch, the Day 2 lynch was a self-hammer, the Day 3 lynch had two scum votes parked on ProHawk from one player, and the Day 4 lynch featured early voting in LyLo. Daemon and Andrius won by not really doing a whole lot during the Day phases, which is fairly enviable - it means that the Townies who got lynched were too suspicious to let live just through their normal play.

Were it not for Lady Lambdadelta calling for a Jabberwock lynch D4 I'd call her Town MVP, as she was crying tears of Catsandra all D3 if memory serves. As it stands I'm conflicted.

Andrius screwed up his fakeclaim. He got the correct localized name Lewyn, but missed Forseti. Clearly I should have been playing this game.~

The reason the game went to Night at the end was because Purpkin had the ability to control morph the cat's vote. If Purpkin wasn't killed, they could actually lynch scum Day 5. Of course, there was no way that Purpkin could have been protected from kills at that point, and the game would have been a scum win anyway, but it still would have been an amusing reversal - more so if the scum had lobbed their kill at Saki so Day 5 would have opened with six players and a replacement in Saki's slot.

---

Some notes on the submissions I got--
*Tharja was the only person I could come up with for Purpkin's "sassy Battle Mage" request. If they were actually talking about Battle Mage the scummer, then I don't even know.
*Daemon's role and ProHawk's roles were the only two that I designed after rolling alignments. I had

no

idea what to do with Daemon's role, but he was pretty much getting the

Tarhalindur

role simply because he didn't have any specific requests. Luckily he drew scum.
*Tharja's Machomaker ability was pretty much intended for in case they drew scum.
*TheIrishPope's submissions are hereby voted Most Boring. I think I overcompensated with that crazy Sleep mechanic though.
*There was no way Oil Tycoons was getting any other role after requesting both Marth and Lucina.
*LLD literally requested the original Boring-Ass Vanilla Cat, which made my day. (meow)
*Two people went for Noire! Barring DTMaster's second line of submissions, that was the only duplication. Noire wasn't the person I would have expected to be asked for twice...
*No one requested

Tarhalindur

. No one requested any of the literal gods in the series. I am disappointed by this.

Some special shout-outs for this game, and I know doing this is gauche but I was rather upset when I typed this:
*Sakura Hana! Your reveal didn't say anything about your abilities, so you were breaking site rules by putting them on your wiki! This was only noticed at the beginning of Night 4 when it wouldn't have made a difference, so there isn't much to do about it now, but in the future, please attempt to use common sense.
*Cabd! Just because I don't answer a question within two minutes, it doesn't mean that I'm ignoring you! And if I am ignoring you, it's probably because you're either asking me questions you know I'm unwilling to answer or trying to provoke me about how I don't want to answer your questions! And when you say "so uh no fast forward"

three minutes

after I say that I've received your Night 4 actions because I haven't posted a final scene by then, it makes me want to come out in public and tell everyone what an awful person you are!
*DTMaster! I really don't care if you're at a meet - the game keeps going! You came up for replacement three damn times in this game and told me you were going to keep playing the first two times! I've had someone over all week and I've kept up with the game. What the hell.

So tl;dr this is a game that's getting stuffed in a dark corner of my memory and hopefully won't be remembered.

---

As a result of this game, I'd like to make the following changes to my modding procedures.
1) All actions must be sent via PM to create a "paper trail". Actions taken by IM will not be accepted.
2) Any questions or comments about the game will be uniformly answered with "Child, please". "Please" may be italicized if deemed necessary.
3) If any meets are coming up and any of my players are going to be at the meet, I'm going to grill them hard about whether they'll be able to keep the commitment.

Other than eventually getting the ehobanowoof sequel off the ground, I don't really have any Large Themes in mind atm. There are two games that will be modded by everyone's favorite puppy hydra that are in the dreaming-up stages, but as far as I'm aware there won't be a new game coming out soon.

I would like to thank everyone who stuck the game out to the end, and especially DDD and CES for stepping into some really awkward positions (and doing it so well that they immediately got NKd). It's through your support that I can continue to mod games with any success.

If anyone wants me to post more FE images that I grabbed for this game, do say so.

[Cabd]

Phew. Going to night freaked me out big time.

[TheIrishPope]

Yeah my picks were pretty boring since I googled the theme
*sigh* town lost the minute I made my first post and my play was shit, sorry
I felt Daemon was pretty obviously scum towards the end
Vi, thanks for a great game which I enjoyed being a part of, I hope you mod more of these amazing games
But yeah, regarding the setup, I did feel it was geared towards one faction but that's the beauty of uPick I guess
And of course we want moar pics

[Sakura Hana]

Day 2 is one of the reasons I should fix those high wire emotions of mine

[fferyllt]

Words cannot express my terror upon receiving the PM about the QT with DEAD Oil Tycoons.

[Andrius]

MY NAME IS ALVIS, NOT ARVIS.

The scum didn't realize until Night 3 (or in one person's case, a few hours into Night 4) that they could kill and take another action at the same time, because reading Role PMs just isn't in vogue right now.

Telling players that their

DAY

action counts as their

NIGHT

action before it matters is also overrated.

Andrius screwed up his fakeclaim. He got the correct localized name Lewyn, but missed Forseti. Clearly I should have been playing this game.~

As long as I was consistent in usage (old names best names) I thought I'd be fine. But since FE13 is sooooo popular I figured I'd drop it. Again, olde names op.


Seriously though, the Role PMs were awesome and I just sat there DREAMING of all the different MAJOR/MINOR HOLY BLOODS that the game might have. Alvis made being scum awesome, and my team was pretty damn cool too. Daemon did surprisingly well and I'm glad to be a part of his first scumwin. Cabd is awesome as we all know and while he and I maaaay have broken F5 keys in excitement it was awesome being buddies with them.

DDD, there really wasn't a better kill and you were the biggest threat. :/
CES, I wanted you solely out of fear. DDD was simmering down, but I was afraid of what you would do to me, especially after Strategy Mafia.

IM SORRY NACHOLOVE
WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL

Oh and finally: Sorry TIP. I honestly didn't see that you were at L-1 and just voted willy-nilly. ^^;

[Natirasha]

Fuck, I would have so requested Tarhalindur if I knew I could request him.

Don't give up on UPick, Vi! You just need a little more bravado when designing setups like this! Also, /prein for ehobonowoof 2.

Shame I had to replace out, but so it goes sometimes. @_@

<3 Cabd. Noire is best daughter.

I kinda knew the game was over as soon as LLD and Jabberwock were going at each other's throats from day three Thankfully, replacing out means I don't have to count this game towards my statistics.

[ProHawk]

Actually TIP, your lynch led me to MorphTheCat. Its too bad no one else was bright enough to see it as well.
