You win when Thanas the Soulshifter and the second serial killer are both dead and at least one town aligned player survives.

Mechanics:
Each night you and your partner may send in the name of a player. Come the morning you will be told who, if anyone, that player targeted with a night action. Both of you must send in the name of the same player for your power to work.

You and your partner may talk off-thread during the night phase and now, during the confirmation stage.

All in all I think the balance was pretty good, despite the eventual easy win. I'll admit that I didn't foresee the town going into the second serial killer with a confirmed townie. Well done to Xyl for pulling that off - it was rather fortunate that he could do it, he probably would never have realised if he hadn't been role blocked night 1.

The night actions, before I forget.


Night 1


Phily -> Xyl
Mplayer - > Xyl
RBs: Target Xyl

Xyl -> Looker (blocked)
Ace -> Looker (killed)
Trackers: Looker (get no result due to other roles)

MafiaSSK -> Acemarksman

Night 2

Phily -> Gorrad
Mafiaplyer -> Gorrad
RBs: Gorrad

Xyl -> MafiaSSK

MafiaSSK -> Jazz (caught by Tracker)

Night 3

Phily -> Jazz (invalid target - dead)
Mplayer -> No one
RBs: No Target

Xyl -> Mplayer

Interestingly enough, both pairs of power roles were set to target MafiaSSK on night one until just before the end. What I thought was going to be a monumental screw up for the town ended up winning it for them - at least more easily than they might have anyway.

Last time I put my trust in Gorrad.

Gorrad did fine. The problem was you didn't pick a mason-roleblocker. :)

(BTW, I worked out my fake result in case I was recruited before the recruit target was announced. What would I have guessed? "No target". :D)

Eh, the gorrad lynch was bound to happen with xyl pseudo-confirming three townies.

We needed to know he wasnt leading town on from the beginning. MafiaSSK was MafiaPlayer's first choice for a block though..

I are glad Gorrads slips made my alphabet usage so biased <3

Excellent! Great job, town! Woot!

A few comments, in order of operation:

1) I
tried
to tell you that Looker wasn't scum. Oh, well. She still wins with us.
2) Excellent call by Spolium regarding SSK's reasons for Nking me on Night 2; Spolium nailed it instantly with his knowledge of the Root of All Evil Game.
3) SSK screwed up there. He would have been far better off to recruit me as his successor when he got lynched, rather than NK me and make it obvious to Spolium (and anyone else who read the Root of All Evil game) that he targeted me because he felt threatened by me.
4) SSK totally screwed himself with his obviously fake claim saying that the mod was his mason partner. The stupid, it burns.
5) I'm surprised that nobody noticed that Phil-E was so oblivious to the game that he posted his purported suspicion of me on Day 4, long after I had been NKed and confirmed town on Night
2
. That made me suspicious while reading the thread after my death, and I was shocked that nobody else even noticed or commented on the fact that he was pointing suspicion at a dead townie who had been confirmed both dead and town long, long before. (Even more surprising is seeing the Game Mod's posts of the night actions and evidence that Phil-E was wasting his night action looking at me on Night 3, after I'd been NKed on Night 2.) Holy inattention problem, Batman.
6) Mafiaplayer: I'm not surprised that you get lynched early and often, but congrats on making it through your first game to the end. Enjoy!
7) Game MVP, without question, is Xyl. Very nicely done, indeed.
8) Thank you very much, to the game mod, q21 for designing and moderating the game. It was fun!

Regards,
Jazz

No no, walnuts have a very long attention span. Have you ever seen one get bored and do something else?

You're most welcome, I'm glad you appreciated it.


MafiaSSK's best bet was PhilyEc, though he didn't know it. The one thing Mafiaplayer deserves credit for was not selling his partner out. One of the vanilla townies gave him a chance to win, though it wasn't great.

Of course, if he was willing to take a risk on Xyl he might have guaranteed himself the game.

I had phily pegged as mafiaplayer's partner before the mafiassk lynch. Probably good I kept quiet about it.

How?

Well, I worked out that PhilyEc was a mason pretty early. Given that we apparently had a tracker pair and a roleblocker pair, a third pair would be overpowered, which meant that PhilyEc and Mafiaplayer were partners.

Don't bother. His post was idiotic, but it was also a mason claim (even if he didn't realize it when he made it).

This is the same reason PhilyEc's post was moronic. Thanks for outing yourselves, guys. Any other masons want to accidentally claim by engaging in setup speculation? No?
GOOD!
