Mafia of the Raptured (Game Over!)

[Vi]

Hey everyone.

I'm not the type of mod who makes games not-fun for their own selfish benefit, but I will have the opportunity to end this game properly late tomorrow night. I'll do my best to ensure it's worthwhile. See you then.

[Vi]

Update: Sunday night.

If it's not done by then then I'll just post a quick scene and catch up sometime else in one of those hollow denouements no one pays attention to.

[Vi]

And so the remaining two players shoved fferyllt off the cliff of Thera.

...But fferyllt's character can fly, so one of the two helped things along by warping space into a spike that pierced her heart. Much better.

--- fferyllt --- Rainbow Dash (from My Little Pony)*,

Town Vanilla

--- Had a Heart Attack Day 7.

And all that was left was the reporter, who promptly thought with her wings and sped the hell away.

--- Katsuki --- Aya Syameimaru (from Touhou Project),

Town Vanilla

--- Fled in Endgame.

The last one standing let her run, instead using that effort to up a dimensional rift. From it oozed a strange purple mass that began to engulf everything in front of it in an inexorable wave.

Well, civilization had a good run.

--- sword_of_omens --- Magolor (from the Kirby series),

Abyss Encryptor

--- Took over in Endgame!!!

-Game Over!

Town

Lost...

Abyss

Won!

*I can't think of any suitable theme for her. Someone more pony-inclined can fill something in.

~sword_of_omens~

The time has come for your planet... No! The time has come for the ENTIRE UNIVERSE to bow down to me. And for being such a big help in all of this, your planet gets to go first!

Welcome to

Mafia of the Raptured

. You are

Magolor

(from the Kirby series). You've found yourself a very pretty crown and swooped in like magic on your beautiful iridescent starship after receiving a beacon from this island. Oh, and to get any misconceptions out of the way, that beacon was from some really nasty people who were requesting assistance taking out the defenders of this planet. You yourself have designs of your own for the future of these weaklings, but for now you're willing to play along against a common enemy.

While not technically one of them, you are aligned with the horrors of the

Abyss

. You may use your clap-on magic to help you, but it won't do anything. You can, however, rip interdimensional rifts to chat with the other players aligned with the

Abyss

here while the chat thread is open. While you are alive, the chat thread will remain open during the Day as well. You may also distort the fabric of space to perform your factional Night-kill. Kill flavor is "impaled". Last, you may request a safeclaim with the flavor and abilities of your choice; the moderator will return this to you at their earliest convenience.

You win when the

Abyss

is the only faction remaining, or nothing can prevent the same.

If you feel you need a safeclaim, try this.

~sword_of_omens~

I'm so, so thankful for all of your help! High five, low five, all that.

Welcome to

Mafia of the Raptured

. You are

Magolor

(from the Kirby series), a native of a distant dimension who landed on this planet on the Lor Starcutter. There is supposedly an item of inestimable value to you on this world, but when you landed on this continent, you found you couldn't slip by the natives to search for it. Ah, well. It seems only right to help them along their way so you can continue looking for your precious keepsake...

You are aligned with the

Town

. You may use your ship's launchable oars to help you, but they won't do anything.

You win when there are no remaining threats to Thera.

Spoiler: Demise, as played by Whimsical Eggplant and then Antagon

~Whimsical Eggplant~

The hate for the gods that has boiled in my veins... You will taste all of it in the bite of my blade.

And when you do fall, know that your world and everything in it is mine to dominate... Mine to subjugate... Mine to rule! When I finish with you, you can take solace in knowing your friends and kin will soon follow, as I wipe all who oppose me from the face of this world!

Welcome to

Mafia of the Raptured

. You are

Demise

(from The Legend of Zelda), the ancient enemy who forced the goddess to sunder the earth and sky. These geomancers have inadvertently done the unthinkable - granted you access to the world you have been burning to destroy ever since it eluded your grasp. If these powerless fools think they can halt you from your goals. . . such naïveté will lead them, all of them, to their slaughter at your hand.

You are one with the

Abyss

's nightmares. You may use your extremely fashionable personal assistant to assist you, but he will be less useful than your factional abilities. You may use your black-blood speech to chat with the other players aligned with the

Abyss

here while the chat thread is open. In addition, you may use your massive fulminious blade to brutally perform the factional Night-kill. Kill flavor is "disintegrated". Last, you may request a safeclaim with the flavor and abilities of your choice; the moderator will return this to you at their earliest convenience.

Welcome to

Mafia of the Raptured

. You are

Poo

, and

wow

I had better explain this one on the quick - any stalling and you might think I'm insulting you. Rest assured I would be considerably more direct if I were insulting you so do not think otherwise. I promise.

You are a character from Earthbound, the prince of the austere country of Dalaam, where monks rest on mountaintops and achieve enlightenment on a daily basis. You were on one such mountaintop undergoing "Moo Training" (though you're not sure what therapeutic value comes in making barnyard noises) when the whole bloody mountain got lifted into the sky. Now that a conflict has begun boiling around you, you can no longer meditate peacefully and wish for yourself to be saved - you must find a way to aid the rest of the world as well.

You are aligned with the

Town

Spoiler: Tarhalindur, Captain Hazama over Mafia, as played by Pjovek and then Amrun

~Pjovek~

This world... This world's supposed to be dead. Dead! But somehow, we managed to screw with it so much that it's gotten stuck, and now it just repeats itself, again and again and again and again and again and again...

You are

Tarhalindur, Captain Hazama over Mafia

. There isn't actually any reason for you to be here, and given that it would be extremely hand-wavey to suggest that you used an NOL airship to take you up to the skies, your presence on Thera can best be explained as "magic". (Well, okay, it's a continuum shift caused by a random outcome of cyclic time and--look, it's magic.) But while you're here, you may as well go through with your preferred means of alleviating boredom - destroying civilization. I mean, it's there, so why not?

You may use your AGGRESSIVE MIND GAMES to help you. But, they won't do anything (during the Night, anyway). You may also use rifts in the continuum to speak with the other players aligned with the

Abyss

here. In addition, you may summon hungry coils to perform the Night-kill. Kill flavor is "succumbed to despair". You may request a safeclaim with the flavor and abilities of your choice; the moderator will return this to you at their earliest convenience.

If you feel you need a safeclaim, try this.

~Pjovek~

Well, I compiled all the reports already... ...but I'd like to avoid failing the mission and being held responsible for that failure, only because you didn't completely grasp the situation.

Welcome to

Mafia of the Raptured

Tarhalindur, Captain Hazama over Mafia

. You aren't entirely sure how you wound up going from the elite suburbs of Kagutsuchi to an island in the sky, and you are quite positive that nothing in your mission involved getting separated from Lieutenant Noel Vermillion... It's not often that the continuum shifts get THIS weird, but so it goes. You mostly want to get back to the world below so you can continue your work.

You are an entirely innocent noncombatant aligned with the

Town

. You may use your ability to moonwalk to help you, but (sadly) it won't help you here. Though your background as an intelligence captain may do better. Pregame and during each Night, you may target the moderator and name a source flavor. This ability will return the names of all roles in this game (if any) that use that source flavor. Source flavors are precise up to a series (so "

Tarhalindur, Captain Hazama over Mafia

" would appear if you inquired about "BlazBlue".) You also have reason to believe that every Town-aligned character in this game is a representative of the sky or has some means of traveling around in it.

You win when there are no remaining threats to Thera.

Infel (from Ar Tonelico)

, the Reyvateil genius who has watched the world for ages from your abandoned satellite and desires nothing more than an end to the suffering. You have beamed yourself down to Thera in hopes of orchestrating the fulfillment of your ultimate plan: uploading the world below onto your satellite's servers, where you can end death and suffering. This had better work, because if it doesn't. . .

You are aligned with the

The game will not go to the Apocalypse phase until you die.

In addition, at Night you may target a player to be uploaded. That player will be killed, and if that player is Town, you may speak to them and control the vote they would have had if alive in a QuickTopic. Last, you will publicly project your role (except any identifying information) at the beginning of Days 1 and 2, but on Day 1 it will be incomplete and in your native Hymmnos.

And some mod comments...

This game was a long time in the making. Several years ago, someone I know - a huge Akiko Shikata fan - showed me a link of a video he had been playing on loop for the past few days, along with a generously long explanation of what it meant. So I listened to it, and then I started looping it, too.

That video was more or less the one attached to Infel's flip. I really liked the concept behind the song and wanted to try to incorporate it into a Mafia game somehow, but took forever to find a way to do it. In the end, the answer was to run a game about her role - it's too strong to be mixed in with other power roles, plus it would dilute the "whoa, cool" factor. Playing into it, I decided to make it a "protect the power role" game - no, not with a Doctor, but via Day play. You know, the kind of people-shouldn't-massclaim-Day-1 game that Themes should be.

The rest of the Town side of the setup followed pretty quickly from that. The Town Doublevoter was there to cause confusion in the event that the Cultilante was incompetent enough to give themselves away with their hidden extra vote. Syryana did about as well as he could under the circumstances with it. The Apocalypse mechanic was purely to hasten the game along once Infel died (which I totally bet would happen N1, and it did), and I think most of us are grateful for it now - I don't think the game would have turned out much differently with more time. Serene and Fia were included as a means of giving Town a small edge in the event of a post-Apocalyptic massclaim, and that worked out exactly as planned. (Calling them Vanilla was a little bastard, as technically Serene wasn't, but I don't think anyone will mind.)

I had exactly zero expectation of the Town figuring out the message I posted at the beginning - but someone enterprising might discern that it was Hymmnos and start asking Ar Tonelico-related inquiries from there. Of course, this probably wouldn't have been a good thing for Town, but hey, icebreaker! (that, for better or worse, no one really mentioned) At least I didn't send that to enomis as his Role PM! Because I would never have thought of doing that... and... um... well, I'm very glad zoraster gave me setup advice here.

Gasp! Schala was Town in this game! And Byakuren wasn't a safeclaim this time! (though I thought about it) OMG breaking mafiascum meta, etc.

The name "Cultilante" is a direct reference to Vigicultist, aka Inquisitor. (I'm coming to like Vigicultist better, as Inquisitor may have been more a just-for-that-game flavor. But hey, no one has complained about Seraph Knight yet.) Whereas the Vigicultist would try to kill someone and then recruit them if they survived, the Cultilante kills them and recruits them if they're

dead

. Obviously gaining access to speak with dead scum is just asking for excellent game-ruining action, so on scum it was just a Vig with no recruitment. The ability to swipe Town voice and vote pretty much nullifies all the downsides of a Vigilante, and in fact is so powerful that if it survived to Day 4 without getting killed, it basically controls the lynch - the scum can't win without killing the Cultilante (or the Cultilante single-handedly destroying the Town on its own).

So one big risk I took with the setup was building it around a particular role, which I'm quite positive I said not to do in one of my guides

buuuuuuut

etc. The other big risk I took was another balancing measure. I gave scum the weakest safeclaims available - two of them had to claim their own role and one got probably the weakest safeclaim I could offer (Poo lives up in the mountains above the clouds, but it implies that he came from below the sky anyway). (As a matter of fact, seeing a

Tarhalindur

role claim

Tarhalindur

and then try to get away with it WAS on my bucket list, and I may have encouraged that this time.~) That worked more or less as planned as well. Incidentally, that was the purpose behind Amrun's role - it had nothing to do with finding the ~special role~ and everything to do with getting them out of hock when massclaim happened. In the end it was kind of pointless, as s_o_o made up his own safeclaim and the others claimed what I gave them, but it was an interesting experiment with a surprising outcome when Amrun claimed the flavor oracle role.

Incidentally, some people - s_o_o and Katsuki, IIRC - got one thing wrong. The characters in this setup were all supporting cast. Kirby in particular didn't fit; if I were choosing a Townie from the Kirby universe it would have been Meta-Knight or Ribbon or Daroach or etc. But, either way.

Play-wise the game was doing fairly well D1 and then disintegrated into blindly feeling ahead. I get the impression Amrun only came under suspicion in LyLo because all the other obvious targets were dead. Three-day Days are rough, but the coasting was what it was.

I don't want to say that enomis got fluke-killed, that he did something wrong (or the scum did something right) to warrant sending the game to Apocalypse so early, and when I find out what that something is I'll let you know. As it stands, the game would have been something very different had he survived to D2. I still want to see it happen, so I'm willing to run a spiritual sequel to this game whenever I get all of my stuff back in order.

Thank you to everyone who supported this game to the end! No matter what I think of my setups, in the end it comes down to you to make them a success. I'm very pleased no one had to be replaced once the game went to lightning speed (yes, including you, Katsuki). I have a game coming up in the Mini Theme queue and it's going to be a Fire Emblem uPick! I've never done one of those before; we'll see how that turns out. If you don't know the flavor, just tell me to pick someone for you and I'll make sure it's cool. The next Large Theme was going to be ehsebano

rarf

, but I think right now piecing together what was on my previous computer is more of a priority. Even so - see you soon, and thank you again!

So one big risk I took with the setup was building it around a particular role, which I'm quite positive I said not to do in one of my guides buuuuuuut etc.

I love how we both did this, and both of our setups had the thematic lynchpin PR die without doing sweet things.

[Antagon]

Hey, Whimsical Eggplant?
Fuck you.
-For flaking out when you couldn't handle pressure.
-For making me start this game in a hole.
-For having play so bad I was called the easy lynch.
-For forcing me to fakeclaim a ridiculous role.
Fuck you and your playstyle.
That is all.

-For forcing me to fakeclaim a ridiculous role.

How?

[fferyllt]

Thank you Vi! Sorry, town.

Did Pjo randomly choose cloudsdale as a universe on night zero? Or were the lil dashes totally random?

[Zdenek]

Random

[fferyllt]

never mind. random.

wow.

[Pjovek]

complete coincidence.

[Amrun]

Why are you posting here when you flaked, pjo?

But yeah that was pretty amusing, ffery.

Thanks for the game, Vi!

We lucked the fuck out with enomis day 1.

We were scared of a doctor, the game being as it was, and thought enomis was unlikely to ever be lynched but also unlikely to be protected.

I crossed my fingers that he was a pr but HOT DANG!

[Amrun]

Oh, and Vi, I understood the utility of the role, but never got the opportunity to use it that way.

[Pjovek]

Oh yeah sorry for flaking, I temporarily forgot this site existed.

I didn't plan on it.

I found the answer, Katsuki.
Are you really one to use 2 year old meta? Or meta even at all?

I've only ever played one game with him before so.

I use gut-meta heavily. It's how I catch onto players like Kuribo, Faraday, Fate, Mina, DGB, mith, etc. I mix it into what I'm seeing in the current game. Long story short, read primarily based on game and what I'm seeing (+ heavy amounts of gut), and if my gut has not been wrong before then I tie that in.

For example, I am never wrong when it comes to reading Kuribo or Spyspy, my gut is always right. All I have to do is simply skim over their posts, and my gut gives me an instant read.

i found this thread when searching for my name



katsuki, you misread me in Weather Mafia II--- you thought i was on the other scumteam and tried to NK me (and got vigged)



it doesnt count as reading me right if you just call me scum every game :p

[Amrun]

Do not mention that travesty

Also weren't you actually mafia in that game?

[Zachrulez]

I just came here to say... God dammit!

[Antagon]

For forcing me to have to fakeclaim at all.

[sword_of_omens]

heh heh...I finally get to draw scum...
on my phone...

hopefully Amrun doesn't mind me posting this.
scum QT:

I had a blast playing this one... thanks Vi

Pjo did an awesome job day 1 double bussing...
and Amrun was simply awesome as a partner...
unfortunate I'm on my phone so I can't get into everything like I'd like to, so I'll have to post all that stuff tomorrow...
is there a dead QT link?

[Tammy]

Good job scum team! Congratulations.

I'm sorry I was such a fence sitting sack at the end. If I hadn't been just out of time and sleep, maybe I'd have had a bit more confidence in my leaning scum reads. I had a really good time playing with you all and hope to play with you again.

I'm sorry implosion and Matt for wrongly scum reading you. Well mostly implosion. I really hesitated on my Matt read but was paranoid from eggplant's first post.

Thanks for modding it Vi!

[enomis]

Hi. I am sad. died day 1 and accomplish nothing. Maybe I should have lurked day 1 instead.

[Amrun]

Sword, I had a great time with you. Glad we pulled it out in the end. <3

[fferyllt]

I can't even begin to describe the lingering insanity that the "lil dashes" invoked.

[Amrun]

Looool
