[GAME THREAD]: OVER 9000-verse Mafia!

[Wallbanger]

VOTE: crayon

Thought about putting a vote down before I went to bed, but then we wouldn't have gotten this lovely confrontation scene. :D

/bows to crayon

Regardless, well played and a dramatic flair to boot.

[iMac]

Vote: Crayon

I wonder what would happen if someone was in jail when the game ended...

:p

[petrija]

/bows to crayon

This.

[Astil]

The deathnote theory would definitely explain Waghlon's mysterious death, except that it leaves the glaring oversight for the fact that I was jailed that night. I wouldn't discount the possibility of Light being in the game (in fact it would be a perfect fit, given newdew's character), but the logistics of it being me isn't even possible, if you're going down that route.

Except that, in the anime, you pick the time. Meaning it doesn't have to happen the night you use the power.

[Astil]

Nevermind. I need to read up. Derp.

[Astil]

Heh. Sorry Crayon. I'm not Master Roshi.

[moon_lit_tears]

Heh. Sorry Crayon. I'm not Master Roshi.

Also, I don't think what he did would be accepted by D_DUB with having me listed 3 times. Not saying I am any of them either. :D

[Astil]

Also, I don't think what he did would be accepted by D_DUB with having me listed 3 times. Not saying I am any of them either. :D

Meaning at least two of us will be left :D

Assuming you're town *glare* ;)

[moon_lit_tears]

Assuming you're town *glare* ;)


I can assure you I am. So if this is lagit we need to be around to vote QUICKLY!

[Antithesis]

Meaning at least two of us will be left :D

Assuming you're town *glare* ;)

Not gonna change your vote off Bak?


*I'll type until a mod says I am dead... perfectly legal*

[eayragt]

Not gonna change your vote off Bak?


*I'll type until a mod says I am dead... perfectly legal*

I think he actually switched to crayon straight away.

[Astil]

Not gonna change your vote off Bak?


*I'll type until a mod says I am dead... perfectly legal*

Uhhhh... I did.

[Zeel1]

It is now Day Phase 12. With 12 players remaining, you have until 3:30 pm EDT / 8:30 pm BST on Thursday, April 15th to reach a majority of 7. If a majority is not reached, a no lynch will be declared.

crayon - 9 (GruntMark, mjdgoldeneye, Astil, Eayragt, Antithesis, Moon_Lit_Tears, Petrija, Wallbanger, iMac)

Ah..I, uh, meant to just do a regular vote count, as I felt it would be helpful in this situation, but uh..apparantly that'll do it. :D

Unless D_W_W disagrees, of course.. :p

[Antithesis]

Uhhhh... I did.

Yeah I missed that one

And damn you Zeel, for a second I thought you were DWW.

[moon_lit_tears]

Yeah I missed that one

And damn you Zeel, for a second I thought you were DWW.

that would be interesting, and I would be in BIG trouble. :D

[Zeel1]

Yeah I missed that one

And damn you Zeel, for a second I thought you were DWW.

That's understandable. The Z in my avatar does look a hell of a lot like..what is that in D_W_W's avatar, a Cylon? :p

[moon_lit_tears]

That's understandable. The Z in my avatar does look a hell of a lot like..what is that in D_W_W's avatar, a Cylon? :p


Yes it is.

[Astil]

I don't think anyone but a select few can figure out who I was.

I actually put a hint out for Astil earlier in the game and he missed and KEPT pressuring me. :(

I dont read American comics. Sorry.

[moon_lit_tears]

I dont read American comics. Sorry.


Neither do I.

[Wallbanger]

/waves to d_dub

So how's all this schtuff resolve, anyway?

[moon_lit_tears]

/gets nervous.

[moon_lit_tears]

I think D_Dubs taking his time to make us all anxious. :p

/shakes head.

[eayragt]

Also, I don't think what he did would be accepted by D_DUB with having me listed 3 times. Not saying I am any of them either. :D

Methinks it will be, as it looks like crayon spent 3 nights thinking of different ways for you to die. Just did he stumble on who you were? Only time will tell!

[moon_lit_tears]

That meanie!

He should not think of ways for me to die I mean I'm a sweet innocent angel. :(

I have seen your name scanning the games for about a week now.

Why not jump into one of the training games ? :)

Oh and hello! :)

Day 12

The perverted old man had figured it out.

His face burned with panic and rage. How had it come to this? How had they figured it out? L was dead, none of these idiots should have been able to discover his identity!

Quickly, the crowd surrounded him. He ran into a nearby warehouse, while trying to activate the hidden compartment in his watch. Unfortunately, his prowess was not comparable to his pursuers. The beautiful, but deadly, Black Canary dropped from the ceiling and landed in-front of him., ready to strike. He stumbled backwards and tripped backwards onto a staircase.

He scrambled about and started crawling up the stairs.

And then he saw feet. He looked up. He saw feet.

Nightwing.

All was lost.

Or was it?

A burst of red energy burst through a nearby window and struck the stair case. Oddly, Nightwing tripped and fell, bouncing over the man and slamming into the Canary, temporarily incapacitating both heroes.

Outside, the Scarlet Witch cursed, wishing that her abilities were not so random.

Seizing the opportunity, the man crawled up the stairs and into the darkest chambers of the warehouse. With a complete absence of light, he fumbled about, trying to get the paper from his watch.

A voice broke the silence. "You shouldn't have come here, human."

The man whipped around, trying to strike at his newest accuser.

"You humans. Very difficult to understand. Nearly incomprehensible."

*Click*

The mechanism in the watch was set off, and the man grabbed the slip of paper. Drawing a pen from his pocket, he moved to scribble on the document. Instantly, the figure was upon him, snapping his arm at the wrist and forcing him to drop the paper.

"It didn't have to be this way. Some of us would have welcomed your assistance. Your book would have been the pièce de résistance in our war against evil. Yet you, you needed an audience for deeds. Did it make you feel special? Did it make you feel... more than human? Pity that you were not, yes?"

The man cried out in pain and dropped to his knees, as the creature twisted his broken arm. Slowly, his eyes were adjusting to the dark. He saw the creature reach down and grab the slip of paper.

"Integra will have great use for this. And now, I bid you farewell, human. "

Quickly, the figure disappeared into the shadows. The young man sat there, sobbing. He couldn't believe that it had come to this. He heard the heroes marching up the stairs. He plead with a being that was invisible to all but him. "Ryuk! Help me! Kill my enemies! Please! I can still entertain you!"

It was not to be.

The heroes burst into the room, ready to finish this ordeal. They found crayon on the floor, dead from an apparent heart attack.

Slowly, the man sat up. Somewhere, a crowd cheered.

A figure slowly opened the desk drawer. The traps were clever, but nothing that this person couldn't handle.

The Death Note.

The figure quickly grabbed the book and slipped it in a bag. "I...am... Justice!"

This, however, would be a story for another time.

-------------------------------------------

crayon is dead. He was Light Yagami, Perfect World Aligned God Named Kira.

Jaded has re-joined the game.

[moon_lit_tears]

OMG Who the hell is left to kill?

[d_w_w]

The game is over.

Congratulations to the winners:

Justice Alliance
DC Alliance

And, an extra congratulations to the survivors:

1. Antithesis
3. Astil
4. bak42
5. BHK1978
6. Bluestar / petrija
11. Eayragt
14. GruntMark
16. iMac
17. Jaded
21. mjdgoldeneye
22. moon_lit_tears
32. Wallbanger

--------------------------------------

And finally, I would like to apologize to the scum in the game. I'll give a more detailed review of the game over the next day or so, but I hadn't anticipated on the absence of kills from the SK throughout the course of the game.

The town was, I admit, fairly stacked, although they had more than their share of lynch bait roles. And, they had two roles (Alucard and Marv) that could turn against them.

If I could do it all over again, I'd either add 1 to each scum group, or make
some substantial changes to the way the SK worked.

Anyhow.

I would like to thank everyone for playing. I hope you had fun. I would also like to thank Rev, as helped me out with a number of tricky situations during the game. All errors or faults with the game are, of course, mine and mine alone (e.g., feel free to direct complaints to me).

[eayragt]

Good game all. Great last write up.

[Antithesis]

Ohh early nomination for wrie up of the year.

[moon_lit_tears]

OMG Who the hell is left to kill?


Ok. Nevermind.

D_Dub excellent game. I loved it!

:D

[bak42]

Maybe now everyone will believe that I'm not Mr. Freeze.:D

[eayragt]

DC 4-lyfe~! *Wolfpac sign*

Yeah, uh, you really need to tone down your post death posts. There were two posts in particular that I noticed, one of which gave town information, and one that clarified something for another player, both of which I think were particularly unwarranted.

But well done on the win!

Poor Marvel....

[Imarevenant]

Wanted to congradulate DWW on a very good game.


and also, apologies that these last 2 or 3 weeks turned out to be so damn hectic for me. I was definitely around much much less than I planned to be when I said I could co-mod for you. Definitely didn't mean to leave you hanging toward the end here.

[moon_lit_tears]

Also, I told a little bit of lies here.

1. I did go out one night. I killed trypio. I had a one shot vig
2. Derek DID know who I was after the Frozen in time thing. He knew because while we were both frozen in time we could talk to each other. It was pretty interesting. He gave a lot of help.

[eayragt]

Also, I told a little bit of lies here.

1. I did go out one night. I killed trypio. I had a one shot vig

While I was 98% sure you were town I was 99% sure of that. Hoped you would have vigged someone last night.

[Zeel1]

Yeah, uh, you really need to tone down your post death posts. There were two posts in particular that I noticed, one of which gave town information, and one that clarified something for another player, both of which I think were particularly unwarranted.

Poor Marvel....

An easy solution to this is to simply never kill me. :p

Seriously though, I apologize if I effected anything post-death. I'm just not really good at the whole "shutting up" thing.. :p

[moon_lit_tears]

While I was 98% sure you were town I was 99% sure of that. Hoped you would have vigged someone last night.

Only had the one shot. After that I was given a device I could speak into and give a message to a random person (had no clue who it would be) but I never used it.

Was a while there every time someone asked about MLT, he'd post defending her. I kept wanting to scream at him. MLT was never in any danger. The suspicion kept her alive, imho.

I'll admit that Astil's last round of questioning on her bugged me, I thought it was obvious by then that she was a DC mason. That's why I asked for him to be jailed....

[eayragt]

I thought when I'd power you up you'd get another vig, like BHK got extra bus drives. Obviously not.

It was good that I had people on my team who would have helped me BIG time if I had ever been in trouble.

I think with the fact Derek pretty much left me alone after the *frozen in time* event pretty much helped alot.

It was Antis idea to keep me on the down low.

[Antithesis]

Actually, I never was protected at night either. Scum could have killed me whenever they wanted. :D

[moon_lit_tears]

i got a pm saying I was washed with energy but nothing happened.

[i effin rule]

Too much scum on scum crime! Both groups could have won together, but nooooo we all had to go about killing each other!

I'm not quite sure why there was suspicion on you. You hinted at being the vig, Anti never questioned you, I thought it made perfect sense you were the DC vig - especially near the end. However, a nive bit of suspicion was good at keeping you alive!

[eayragt]

Too much scum on scum crime! Both groups could have won together, but nooooo we all had to go about killing each other!

Yeah, that really, really hurt the scum. Add that in with no SK deaths, and you were on a tough road.

Never hinted at being a Vig. Only had a one shot kill. Never had any questions thrown at me until Astil. When I said I had something to take care of and would not be out again he should have realized but he didn't he kept goign after me. I was beginning to get mad. I would sit here and scream at my computer telling him SHUT UP SHUT UP! I swear I think my roommates think i am crazy now. :D

Who, me? I never defended her..not seriously, anyway. I was dead long before much heat got on her.

..but, if I was there, yeah, I'd have probably defended her. I like to think I'm a team player. To be honest, during the times people had her at the top of their scum lists, I found myself thinking "Dammit guys, what are you doing, back her up here!" :p

Yeah they were pretty much backing me up. We talked via pm alllllllllllll the time going over notes and such.

Again i was in no danger of being lynched. Night killed was different. I think had Derek been scum I would have been gone early :D

[MichiganHero]

The game is over.

Congratulations to the winners:

Justice Alliance
DC Alliance



Does this mean even if you died/were lynched you still won?

[Zeel1]

Does this mean even if you died/were lynched you still won?

Yeah, you win as long as your team wins. Hence, mafia being a team sport.

...except for with indys, but y'know. :p

[moon_lit_tears]

Does this mean even if you died/were lynched you still won?

If your pm doesn't say anything about surviving you win.

As long as your pm says you win if all threats to justice are eliminated or something to that effect you get a win.

[Antithesis]

Trypio was killed after MLT reported Derek's conversation with her. I found Trypio's vote switch off of Destiny to mean more. Once Derek said Trypio wasn't with him and that he found him suspicious, we went ahead and removed him.


The Final nail in AA's and DA's coffin. I tracked Masterded N4 because i mistakenly thought his avatar was the chest symbol for the FLash (I know, I know). Once he claimed Cap I knew he was lying, but didn't figure Prophet was scum (admittedly I thought prophet was a Marvel villain as well) once MJ explained himself.


MJ switching his vote off and then back on masterded really screwed with my head.... Banger used his Lasso because we couldn't quite be sure about MJ after that.

[MichiganHero]

If your pm doesn't say anything about surviving you win.

As long as your pm says you win if all threats to justice are eliminated or something to that effect you get a win.

Well. Yay go town and DC.

Also, crayon well played.

[moon_lit_tears]

Well. Yay go town and DC.

Also, crayon well played.

Yes, yes

Crayon you little colourful dude you. That was a well played game by you sir. Wonderful playing with you. Hope you join more games.

[Zeel1]

Yes, kudos to Crayon as well. Not very often somebody can come in as an SK in their first game and last until the end!

[Antithesis]

Also kudos to Wallbanger for calling so much stuff correctly. He figured 4 scum per group. He also thought SM was town, that Prophet was Ivy and always had Crayon on the dwindling list of suspects as the game went on.

[eayragt]

Never hinted at being a Vig. Only had a one shot kill. Never had any questions thrown at me until Astil.

I would sit here and scream at my computer telling him SHUT UP SHUT UP! I swear I think my roommates think i am crazy now. :D

Yes you did. When Astil questioned you about the night you went out you basically went "why do you think I wouldn't say what I was doing, huh, huh?". As this was the night trypio was vigged by DC, it didn't take much to put 2 and 2 together.

[moon_lit_tears]

I hoped SOMEONE would have gotten it but Astil didn't. I think he wanted to lynch me. :D

[Zeel1]

..by the way, why did Phoenix Wright have to call people ridiculous? That seems like an odd choice for a restriction..

[Antithesis]

I'll admit that Astil's last round of questioning on her bugged me, I thought it was obvious by then that she was a DC mason. That's why I asked for him to be jailed....

Just to explain the reasoning.

I had claimed that, as a member fo the DC crew, I was protected. If MLT got outted, scum would assume she was my protector and kill her.

Since neither of us was actually protected, keeping MLT's identity under wraps was important for us. After it seemed like no more Marvel of DC scum were alive, I was tempted to just name her and be done with it, but habit made me stop...

[Wallbanger]

crayon has definitely made an early case for ROY. We'll have to see how he follows up in a game that is a) not in his theme knowledge sweetspot and b) with him having a more traditional role. But I am confident he won't disappoint.

[moon_lit_tears]

I was actually cool with being hush hush about who I was.

This is the first game I have ever been in that I had not claimed at all. :p

I have to say even though I wasn't a big key player in the game I think this was my best game by far.

Also one of my favs of the year, or career. :D

Along with the lasso I had my one-shot Bracelets of Victory. If I was ever attacked at night, I would turn into a nexus for that night, meaning anyone who targeted me with anything would get redirected. That was why I was being 'difficult' with Anti before - I didn't want a situation where they tried to recruit me the same night I was attacked and give them a confusing result.

Though I have to say, during this whole game, I was never attacked at night, which I found to be kind of amazing, given the attention I am typically given...

I... am... Justice!

Fun game to play. I thought I had a fun role and enjoyed playing it.

[Comradebot]

So, be honest:

Did both scum groups try to kill me night one?

[Wallbanger]

I... am... Justice!

Oh h*ll...Dredd has the Death Note? LOL!

Astil wouldn't let it go though...

People commented that I got smarmy sometimes in the game. They should look at it from my perspective. SOmetimes people in the town would do stuff that would endanger us or cause unnecessary doubt. It got frustrating after a while.

[MichiganHero]

I have one question for crayon though.

Why did you feel so strong about lynching me?

[Antithesis]

Along with the lasso I had my one-shot Bracelets of Victory. If I was ever attacked at night, I would turn into a nexus for that night, meaning anyone who targeted me with anything would get redirected.

Though I have to say, during this whole game, I was never attacked at night, which I found to be kind of amazing, given the attention I am typically given...

You kind of hinted at being PGO ability (which btw doesn't fit Wonder Woman at all)

When you warned that I shouldn't try to recruit you as it would end badly for me. :D That would be my guess as to why you were left alone.

[moon_lit_tears]

Astil wouldn't let it go though...

I was getting very frustrated. :(

[Wallbanger]

You kind of hinted at being PGO ability (which btw doesn't fit Wonder Woman at all)

When you warned that I shouldn't try to recruit you as it would end badly for me. :D That would be my guess as to why you were left alone.

Believe it or not, that was not my intention -- don't know if it was me overstating it or just having too much read into it. I was just trying to avoid a lynch at that point, because I could at least explain the bracelets scenario if I was attacked at night (though I would have conveniently forgotten to mention that it was a one-shot ability :cool: ).

[Derek B]

Also, I told a little bit of lies here.

1. I did go out one night. I killed trypio. I had a one shot vig
2. Derek DID know who I was after the Frozen in time thing. He knew because while we were both frozen in time we could talk to each other. It was pretty interesting. He gave a lot of help.

If only that help had been better for me. :p

It was good that I had people on my team who would have helped me BIG time if I had ever been in trouble.

I think with the fact Derek pretty much left me alone after the *frozen in time* event pretty much helped alot.

It was Antis idea to keep me on the down low.

It was a tricky situation and knowing that you could potentially help me out, I wanted to keep you alive... though I have to admit, I had considered killing you for fun just to see how Anti would react. :eek: :cool:

I have to say even though I wasn't a big key player in the game I think this was my best game by far.

Also one of my favs of the year, or career. :D

You did claim, you just only done it to me in our little side game. :p And to be honest, I can't believe you claimed to easily too. I had expected some resistance which is why I dangled the "valuable info" carrot in front of you and you claimed in the first post of our conversation. On the plus side, I think that conversation done so much for the town as a whole... just a shame us Marvelites didn't do more with it. :(

For those not in the know, MLT and I had our own forum we could talk in for a while... was funny having the Marvel and the DC vig talking to each other outside the game. The best bit was the exchange of info and the codes we shared out, basically allowing us to call our actions in the thread without others knowing for sure what we were talking about.

And the last bit that led to my own death was me hesitating on the whole Poison Ivy thing... I thought she might be a bus-driver but the only way I could recruit once Jman had died was to get other Marvel characters to target me. I had been considering openly stating that in the thread, but ultimately I got myself killed by dangling something important in the game thread without following through... I died, and Prophet became the first person added to my new hitlist. Welcome! :cool:

........

And a final little aside, I thought crayon played an excellent game, especially for a new player. I'm looking forward to playing with and against you in future, let's see how you hold up with the pressure on you and in games where you have less specialised knowledge of the theme. :)

[Antithesis]

If only that help had been better for me. :p

For those not in the know, MLT and I had our own forum we could talk in for a while... was funny having the Marvel and the DC vig talking to each other outside the game. The best bit was the exchange of info and the codes we shared out, basically allowing us to call our actions in the thread without others knowing for sure what we were talking about.

And the last bit that led to my own death was me hesitating on the whole Poison Ivy thing... I thought she might be a bus-driver but the only way I could recruit once Jman had died was to get other Marvel characters to target me. I had been considering openly stating that in the thread, but ultimately I got myself killed by dangling something important in the game thread without following through... I died, and Prophet became the first person added to my new hitlist. Welcome! :cool:

........

And a final little aside, I thought crayon played an excellent game, especially for a new player. I'm looking forward to playing with and against you in future, let's see how you hold up with the pressure on you and in games where you have less specialised knowledge of the theme. :)

After MLT could talk to me again I pointed out to her the "info" you gave was a bit one sided, and that I had wished she had asked you more. :D

Had you killed MLT I would have claimed you were scum, you'd of denied it, scum would have killed both of us and who knows what would have happened after that. But you didn't. Our group got stronger and yours got crushed.

Worked out well, all things considered. :D

[moon_lit_tears]

If only that help had been better for me. :p



It was a tricky situation and knowing that you could potentially help me out, I wanted to keep you alive... though I have to admit, I had considered killing you for fun just to see how Anti would react. :eek: :cool:





You did claim, you just only done it to me in our little side game. :p And to be honest, I can't believe you claimed to easily too. I had expected some resistance which is why I dangled the "valuable info" carrot in front of you and you claimed in the first post of our conversation.

Looking back, I should have not claimed so easily to you.


My only issue was that I honestly thought you were town.

I am curious though. Why did you target me?

[d_w_w]

MQM~

I thought when I'd power you up you'd get another vig, like BHK got extra bus drives. Obviously not.

Had decided that Marvel and DC would only get one kill each. Was hoping to push them towards the dilemna of "do I kill the other town mason, or do I kill scum".

So, they couldn't get an extra kill via your ability.

Actually, I never was protected at night either. Scum could have killed me whenever they wanted. :D

I was surprised that everyone bought your bluff for so long. I kept mentally writing Nightwing death scenes every phase, but never got to type one out :p

Too much scum on scum crime! Both groups could have won together, but nooooo we all had to go about killing each other!

Yeah :(

Yes, yes

Crayon you little colourful dude you. That was a well played game by you sir. Wonderful playing with you. Hope you join more games.

crayon did a great job, glad he joined the game :)

..by the way, why did Phoenix Wright have to call people ridiculous? That seems like an odd choice for a restriction..

That was just Glot being Glot.

I... am... Justice!

Fun game to play. I thought I had a fun role and enjoyed playing it.

Oh h*ll...Dredd has the Death Note? LOL!

:cool:

So, be honest:

Did both scum groups try to kill me night one?

Yes.

I have one question for crayon though.

Why did you feel so strong about lynching me?

You were lynch bait. And for that, I apologize.

One of the over-riding themes with the game was to make most the traditional power roles a bit tempered and fallible.

[moon_lit_tears]

This.

That was something Derek and I talked about. We decided since both he and I had a kill to take out scum. then we would either let town lynches or scum kills decide the winner between us.

Sorry Derek they liked me more then you. :D

Its strange how events early on caused that to play out like it did.

Because of a wrong assumption, I admitted to being a DC character. Once I was recruited and Zeel died with DC by his name, I obviously had to go public. By going public I had to claim to be protected and thus we had to keep you secret.

By going public we threw our lot in with the town. We killed Trypio, I could point to that and being open as reasons why, if it came down to it, the town should trust us over the Marvel guys.

Who knows how it would have went down if Zeel had never went
"Purrfect"

lol

[Antithesis]

I am surprised though that teh DC and Marvel villains could have won the game together. Guess that was balanced against us masons, who had to outnumber the rival masons to win.

[Antithesis]

Also, is obvious now why Derek went after Destiny like he did Day 1.

He thought Destiny was the DC recruiter...

[Antithesis]

Okay thats enough of me gloating. :D

Was a fun game DWW. Very intricate, despite being Semi dark. A lot was going on that people had no knowledge of. Once the Villains were dead and the night kills had stopped I admit the game had me really confused. Even in games where I've been dead wrong I at least had a theory of what was going on. This was the first game I've played where I just couldn't fathom what was going on at one point.

kudos.

Yeah we bounced some pretty iffy ideals around huh?

Like I even asked Anti and Banger if they thought maybe MJ was right about Astil being Bowser. Even after he was pointed as a perverted old man. :D

I think he is one after he went after me like he did. So take that Astil. :p

[BHK1978]

Well I wished I would have gotten on the vote last night. However, in the end I am glad the town won and I actually survived until the end for once and won (has never happend to me before)! I know I wasn't much help to the town but I still had fun playing this game.

Props go to Anti and Grunt for being great town leaders. And yes despite being town I did throw out a couple of questions to screw with you Anti because I hate how you love to out everyone as soon as the hint.:D

And crayon, what can be said? You played an awsome game! I wish I was half as good as you!

Finally, dww and Rev great game! I am sorry about not using the power you gave me more often but I just did not want to screw up the game.

Oh and I have a streak going, this is my 8th game (I think) and I have yet to be lynched!!! I guess people think I am scummy but never scummy enough to lynch me.:D

[SuperOwens]

Too much scum on scum crime! Both groups could have won together, but nooooo we all had to go about killing each other!

Losing your role was the end for our team. I'd love to know the thought processes on both kills really.

I was checking out our board for a bit after my death and the talk of taking out TBP left me a bit bemused, if there was one person I would have left alone it would have been ultra defensive TBP.

My claim was obviously designed to protect IER rather than get me off a lynch. Once he was taken out nest day, there was nowhere to go.

http://mynameisdave.myfreeforum.org/ (http://mynameisdave.myfreeforum.org/) Not much on here, but feel free to take a peek.

[eayragt]

I have say I think that was my best mafia game. I was wrong about supermareo, but apart from that I think I showed pretty sound judgement.

Well, I suppose I was also wrong for a bit about pet, but that was the time for wild theories.

And my first town win- and only the second time I've had a standard town who condition.

[GruntMark]

I guess I missed all the end game fireworks.

So, random rundown....

DWW - Thank you for modding. I had alot of fun. I wasnt going to sign up at all, but with signups moving so slowly I didnt want you to have to cut roles. And now Im really glad I did. Also, I think you handled the "WC Situation" as well as anyone could have.

Anti - Well played all game. I mean, except the part about both scum groups not trying to kill CBot night one. ;) No, seriously, it was alot of fun having someone reasonable and with critical thinking skills to bounce ideas around with late in the game. People like that usually die early.

MLT - You were really Black Canary? Im almost jealous, she's my fav. Well played anyway. Glad you didnt get her killed.

Crayon - I was willing to give kudos to whoever the remaining scum was after the SM lynch, and that stands. Well played all the way.

Astil - Im glad I didnt get you killed all those phases ago, cause the anime knowledge came through. Well done sir!

And finally...

Petrija - Thank you for saving my life and the constant guarding. It left me free to accuse everyone I felt like, and hopefully move a couple of them closer to the gallows. It was a strange partnership, with the not talking, but I can only hope I played my half well enough.

And think thats it. Good game guys.

[Derek B]

Also, is obvious now why Derek went after Destiny like he did Day 1.

He thought Destiny was the DC recruiter...

Yup, while I was town I was also generally working against you guys as much as possible. Figured by trying to out a DC spokesperson that I could get him killed and put you guys on the backfoot...

Looking back, I should have not claimed so easily to you.


My only issue was that I honestly thought you were town.

I am curious though. Why did you target me?

This.

That was something Derek and I talked about. We decided since both he and I had a kill to take out scum. then we would either let town lynches or scum kills decide the winner between us.

Sorry Derek they liked me more then you. :D

... but once I ended up talking with MLT I kinda changed tack somewhat. Jman unfortunately drew a lot of attention to himself and got killed, then I pretty much done the same thing and got myself killed too, which sunk it for us. After that I was praying for MLT and Anti to get killed, as I had asked DWW on the night I died (and predicted I would die, as the write up says :p) what would happen in the event of a draw. If Marvel and DC had guys left at the end, we'd both lose... if we both were wiped out, we'd win... assuming town won, of course. :)

As for why I chose you MLT? Figured I'd get us both in the write up. I only knew the item would silence you and that it might not work properly, I had no idea we'd end up talking to each other. Had I known that I'd have had a lot more cunning plans, fake claims and the like before hand... and mighta chosen someone else entirely to use it on, though it mighta been Anti since we knew he was a DC by then.

Fun times, I really enjoyed this game. Even though I was town, I was mentally playing it like I was scum which is how I tend to do well. My only regret is not committing to my plan to recruit as many Marvel as possible, which is ultimately what lost me the game..

Also... I lost the game. *curses* :( :p

Im sorry buddy!

Good job day 1.

That just seems like a long time ago. :p

[BlueStar]

I'll give my reason for opting out on this one, as this is not something I usually do...

- got some kind of surprise promotion.
- didn't have internet access due to holiday for 3 days
- double work shifts in effect...

Result: 1,5 phases gone and about 100 pages....just umpossiblembly!

[GruntMark]

Oh yeah, and WC. Didn't get that one right either.

Meh. I was willing to use the WC kinda-mislynch as ammo for whatever agenda I was pushing...

But I dont blame anyone for actually voting on him.

Petrija stepped in nicely.

Either way Im grateful.

[GruntMark]

Oh, also...

I dont think I had any actual protection ability. Just the vote thing.

But once people seemed to assume we were protecting each other, I figured why let them know otherwise.

Well I am sorry you lost the game, no not really. :D

I laughed the entire game at the exchange between the team because every time Anti hinted about you targeting me he kept saying HUBBA HUBBA.. LOL

Well I see that Anti is right it was a bit one sided to a point because I was honestly shocked it happened. Neither of us asked a lot of questions though. You did give a lot of information on players that you had and for that I thank you for your help. :)

I used the fact that you did not go after me the following day to clear me. I mean seriously everyone had to figure SOMETHING was up when you pretty much stayed away from me then died Marvel/town.

[Antithesis]

Meh. I was willing to use the WC kinda-mislynch as ammo for whatever agenda I was pushing...

But I dont blame anyone for actually voting on him.

I never counted it. Personally i felt betrayed by him. Anyone can go back and read, but I had come around and bought him as lynch bait and was getting ready to defend him when all of a sudden he switched his story yet again. I mean like literally i was about to start posting with a defense but his story changed at almost the same time. After that I wanted him gone and wasn't sad to see him leave.

[Waghlon]

An apparent turn by Alucard leading to the end of scumminess as we know it?


Greaaaaat finish.

[BHK1978]

Yeah I was that way as well in past games with him. However, in this game I was just done trying to defend him. It gets to the point where he had just told so many lies for no reason that I just could not bring myself to trust him in these games.

[i effin rule]

Just wanted to go back to a very crazy situation. The night Arrows died and all that stuff with Destiny. I think all of us DA people where confused as we knew that was our guy killing Arrows and therefore there was no bus driving going on. Obviously it got sorted later with Destiny randomly dying, but I was like "he is lying, he has to be!" until that point.

[SuperOwens]

For 2 days I had Destiny down as a lie detector role. I was about 80% convinced by it. Really couldn't see another reason for those direct questions.

[Tha Black Phenom]

Oye.

I've been really dying at night as scum lately. I didn't use to be like this!

So, be honest:

Did both scum groups try to kill me night one?

Funny thing is, it came down to you or SuperOwens for our N1 kill. Thank god my hitlist came in handy I guess... what did I tell ya. :cool: :o

[Prophet]

First off, great game. Especially outside in, reading along, and being just as confused ... that was good stuff.

Second, Mded, I'm so sorry for taking you down with me. I honestly did not see that perfect storm building around us. I figured you knew what I knew, so we'd cover each other, but never thought Anti would have scissors big enough to shred every little detail I had given. Damn you, Anti! lol

Actually, I never was protected at night either. Scum could have killed me whenever they wanted. :D

We used you for a good portion of the game. Until Joker died, then it was more about who I thought needed to die. I tried to kill Grunt because I was sure he was the jailer. Then it all went downhill. :p

Too much scum on scum crime! Both groups could have won together, but nooooo we all had to go about killing each other!

Ain't that the truth.

The Final nail in AA's and DA's coffin. I tracked Masterded N4 because i mistakenly thought his avatar was the chest symbol for the FLash (I know, I know). Once he claimed Cap I knew he was lying, but didn't figure Prophet was scum (admittedly I thought prophet was a Marvel villain as well) once MJ explained himself.

I kept throwing out that mirror theory, hoping it'd buy me more time. My initial claim was gonna be the Scarlet Witch, to explain why Arrows ended up at Jaded. BHK ruined that, so I decided to go with being able to come back as the Phoenix. Until Jaded came along. I'd simply run out of options of how to explain knowing who went where early on. (Because I sent them. lol)

Also kudos to Wallbanger for calling so much stuff correctly. He figured 4 scum per group. He also thought SM was town, that Prophet was Ivy and always had Crayon on the dwindling list of suspects as the game went on.

Now ya know why I advocated killing him early in Futurama. `banger's becoming my (pardon the pun) bane. Always pegs me as a pink wearing scummy before I have a chance to read my pm. :p

And the last bit that led to my own death was me hesitating on the whole Poison Ivy thing... I thought she might be a bus-driver but the only way I could recruit once Jman had died was to get other Marvel characters to target me. I had been considering openly stating that in the thread, but ultimately I got myself killed by dangling something important in the game thread without following through... I died, and Prophet became the first person added to my new hitlist. Welcome! :cool:

Hey, I had good reason to off you. You called me a jokester. :p Besides, it wouldn't be mafia if I wasn't on your hitlist. Almost surprised I wasn't the only name carried over from the old one. lol

And a final little aside, I thought crayon played an excellent game, especially for a new player. I'm looking forward to playing with and against you in future, let's see how you hold up with the pressure on you and in games where you have less specialised knowledge of the theme. :)

And finally, definitely this. I didn't have Crayon pegged until the very end, but I'm not familiar with Death Note. Played strong, played convincingly, and played incredibly well. And I have to admit, a small part of me really hoped that full out list would work. A write up with 9 people advancing, only to watch them drop dead one after another? Awesomeness. lol

Night 1

She moved with inhuman grace, nimbly bouncing from building to building. Upon arriving at her destination, she peaked inside: her target was sleeping. How convenient.

She slipped in through the window and looked around. That would do, she thought. She picked the object up.

Good grief it was heavy!

After a few stumbling steps, she accidently dropped the object. The owner sprung to his feet. "What was..."

And then he fell back onto the bed, snoring away.

The woman exhaled, then strained to pull the object up again. Moments later, she and the object had slipped out of the window.


***********************************

Elsewhere...
OVER 9000 seconds later...

***********************************


The man sat and meditated on the situation. He thought that this universe would be good for him. This man lived for the fight and was happy to have new challenges.

Unfortunately for this champion, there were those here that did not follow his system of honor. He wouldn't even be given the chance to face his foe directly.

Instead, a mountain of a man crashed through the wall behind him, dropping bricks and pieces of the building's wooden frame onto the meditating man's unsuspecting back, pinning him to the ground. The attacker finished the job very matter of factly, slamming his foot into the back of Comradebot's head, crushing his face into the ground.

Moments later, another showed up on the scene... Too late. Oh well.


***********************************
***********************************
Elsewhere...
OVER 9000 inches away...
***********************************
***********************************


Another massive man was out and about tonight. He stomped along the streets, looking for someone with answers. Along the way, he bumped into a more normal sized man.

This person freaked out and started screaming in the other guy's face, while simultaneously jabbing his finger into the big guy's chest. "Are you ****ing kidding me? Is this some of kind of joke? Are you trying to get me killed or what?"

This brute didn't take kindly to the finger jabbing or the yelling in his face. With surprising speed, he grabbed the smaller person's finger and bent it backwards, forcing him to his knees.

Hmm, maybe this little punk has some answers, the big guy thought. Just as he was about to break an arm, a small figure sprung out of nowhere. The small figure yelled:

"SURPRISE!"

And then blew a party blower in the big guy's direction. The contraption made a typically annoying noise, as it unrolled under the force of the small figure's lungs. The end of the party blower stopped inches from the big guys face.

With a determined look, the small figure blew again, this time harder. The party blower suddenly expanded one more time, with the end of it turning into an inflated fist, which struck the large man directly in the nose.

Irritated, he flung the other guy to the side and reached for the smaller figure. Much to his dismay, the little goof was long gone. Then he turned around and looked for the jerk from earlier. He had scattered off too.

Just his luck.

-------------------------------------------

Comradebot is dead. He was Ryu, Justice Aligned Street Fighting Champion.

Destiny has been released from jail. He is now free to participate in the thread.

1. Jman (The Black Cat) stealing from Astil (Master Roshi). Went with an oversized turtle shell to get some potential Mario/Bowser vibes in the game.

2. Comradebot (Ryu) was killed by lprock (Bane). Seconds later, trypio (Bullseye) shows up, also looking to kill C-Bot. Gave the kill to lprock, as his PM came in first.

3. Arrows (Marv) goes out to assault Prophet (Poison Ivy), but ends up targeting WrestlingCentury (due to WC's lighting rod), but is blocked from a serious assault by Tha Black Phenom (Harley Quinn).

Comradebot

You are Ryu, Justice Aligned Street Fighting Champion

Unlike many of the others that have been whisked away to the OVER 9000-verse, you are quite happy to be here. After all, you've already defeated Bison and Sagat. A new universe? Just means new challenges. Before you can get on with the task of testing your martial abilities, you need to help secure a more stable, peaceful environment. Fortunately, this process will likely provide you with many new challenges and many new foes. Of course, you aren't one to attack random people, so here in the OVER 9000-verse, you will let the attackers come to you.

Each night, you may protect another player. Should your target be attacked, you will defend them and engage their attacker in combat. To protect another player, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) during the night phase and state your target.

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead.

C-Bot was the standard townie protector. Poor guy :(

[Astil]

So does my figuring out the Light thing make up for not figuring out the MLT thing.

Also I hoped that by arguing with MLT I'd be able to keep myself seeing scummy enough to stay alive and possibly keep MLT around too. Did it work, or did I just waste time?

[mjdgoldeneye]

First off,

**** YEA SEAKING

Trypio was killed after MLT reported Derek's conversation with her. I found Trypio's vote switch off of Destiny to mean more. Once Derek said Trypio wasn't with him and that he found him suspicious, we went ahead and removed him.


The Final nail in AA's and DA's coffin. I tracked Masterded N4 because i mistakenly thought his avatar was the chest symbol for the FLash (I know, I know). Once he claimed Cap I knew he was lying, but didn't figure Prophet was scum (admittedly I thought prophet was a Marvel villain as well) once MJ explained himself.


MJ switching his vote off and then back on masterded really screwed with my head.... Banger used his Lasso because we couldn't quite be sure about MJ after that.

It doesn't mean much after the fact, but once you agreed Mario was highly notable, seeing as I had no idea who to trust, I just tried to burn every bridge to the ground that I could without changing the direction of things or being so annoying as to get lynched out of spite. If I was outwardly useless enough (while still being there to drop my vote) and made sure to come up with at least half a dozen conspiracy theories a day, I figured the scum would let me go.

I figured that if I needed to use it, a full claim would absolve me. It was actually the lasso of awesome, but still.

I was, in fact, entirely unsure about M-ded being scum, but I accepted it was who we were going to lynch and that he was the most likely scum well before I stopped arguing about it.

Day 2

Mafia-Ville was not a happy place today. In fact, some might say that this was the most contentious, miserable day in this town's existence.

While several people participating in the discussion, debate, and arguments surrounding the day's drama, one man, in particular, was at the center of this mayhem.

This man was a bagel boy. A nobody. comic relief.

The key word being "was".

When the immigration started, when the comic and anime universes merged into the existing OVER 9000-verse, things changed. The man felt confident. Aggressive.

He felt like a new man.

Unfortunately, this man talked himself into a corner. People surrounded him. They pointed their fingers at him.

He responded with something about a "vote and a blanket", but the lynch mob didn't get it. They weren't talking about votes, they were talking about blood. And so they just shrugged and pressed on.

Well... he didn't need this. And so Wrestling Century grabbed his bags and left Mafia-Ville.

The Forces of Justice would just have to do without him.

Wrestling Century has left the game. He was Andrew Arrows, Justice Aligned GDSX Original.

The crowd gasped. Had someone ever just left Mafia-Ville before? No one could remember.

In shock, the crowd dissipated, ready for another night. One by one, people left for their rooms. One man, however, was not allowed to leave.

A man with a gun approached this person. "Where do you think you're headed?"

"My room?"

"I don't think so buddy."

The man frowned, then walked to jail.

mjdgoldeneye has been arrested. He is in jail and currently is not allowed to speak in the thread.

I don't really have a lot to say about this. I did at the time, but I kind of just want to put it behind me.

Wrestling Century

You are Andrew Arrows, Justice Aligned GDSX Original

You are an OVER 9000-verse native and a member of the GDSX organization. Your full name is Andrew Arrows, though most around these parts simply refer to you as Arrows.

You are known for two things: being the center of attention and the first person that to be blamed for pretty much anything. As a result, you will be described as a "threat to justice" when investigated. While this may be a concern for most, you find it quite easy to talk your way out of things. As such, you are virtually unlynchable (it would require every vote in the game, excluding your own, to lynch you).

Each night, you must choose to force another player's attention onto you. To do so, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) and state your target. Your target will be forced to target you with their active night action (if they have no active night action, then nothing will happen). Obviously, this is a risky approach to life, but you wouldn't have it any other way.

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead.

So... yeah.

There was no way I would ever put a character based on Arrows in a mafia game and have them not be based on Arrows the mafia player.

Never happen. Sorry if that's misleading, but the theme will always take second place (or third, actually) to making interesting characters/roles.

Still, I'd change this one if I could do this over. Specifically, I'd change it to 2/3rds to lynch. Overall, I was happy with the role. Arrows makes perfect sense as a hard-to-lynch, lightning rod miller.

Rev randomized the roles for me, which I decided on to prevent any funny business on my part. Honestly, if I had done the roles, I would been very, very, very tempted to click randomize again when I saw WC get the role.

I have some general thoughts on whether it always makes sense to completely randomize roles or not, but I'll save that for the discussion thread. In this game though, all roles were randomly assigned.

[mjdgoldeneye]

So does my figuring out the Light thing make up for not figuring out the MLT thing.

Also I hoped that by arguing with MLT I'd be able to keep myself seeing scummy enough to stay alive and possibly keep MLT around too. Did it work, or did I just waste time?

Figuring out Light was an epic townie moment. Scummy nominations are likely.

With that, I'd like to say this: D_W_W/Rev/Players,

Come up with any and all possible nominations for the Scummies from this game that you can think of and store them somewhere with short explanations. This last Scummies seemed to end up being nominations off the top of people's heads (about a quarter of which were mine). We'd best take note while things are still fresh.

Hell, maybe we should just draw official scummy nominations from the mods of each game as they end and fill in the holes with players' picks come awards season.

I'll admit that in extreme cases (once or twice, total), I've changed role assignments. Changing things so a certain players gets a certain role is a very unfair idea, but there are certain players that can be counted on to either not show up or play very poorly and in some cases this can cripple the entire game. I don't mean ruin an otherwise exciting role, but draw people in with them and cause lasting chaos.

If you can foresee a player getting a role ruining the game, it'd be best to modify the game to be more balanced, honestly, but I've elected to randomly switch before.

I wouldn't recommend this, though, but in a case like WC getting a lightning rod, I wouldn't have been upset at all if he was switched and we never knew. It's mean to single players out, but considering we've kind of put him on mandatory hiatus, I'm sure many can see my point.

I think this conversation needs to be halted. I could lead to some extreme metagaming.

If you do or don't as a mod you should keep it to yourself.

I can barely post vote counts without people trying to metagame from it. :D

Looking to far into something is part of human nature and has to be handled by those being overly scrutinizing.

I don't mean to facilitate it!

As for switching roles, I've only done it twice, I believe. If someone assume some player can't have a role in one of my games because of this, they'd be making a big mistake.

And, for the record, I don't intend on doing this again. Once was in a short game I ran on my site, I think, just because I didn't want the game to plummet into silence like they had been trending way back when.

Or just having a policy where Mods at the end of the game post what they feel was scummy worthy play or just give out awards. We did it for a short time, but that's gone away; should probably come back though as it would help come Scummy time.

[eayragt]

So does my figuring out the Light thing make up for not figuring out the MLT thing.


Oh yes, big time

It doesn't mean much after the fact, but once you agreed Mario was highly notable, seeing as I had no idea who to trust, I just tried to burn every bridge to the ground that I could without changing the direction of things or being so annoying as to get lynched out of spite. If I was outwardly useless enough (while still being there to drop my vote) and made sure to come up with at least half a dozen conspiracy theories a day, I figured the scum would let me go.

I figured that if I needed to use it, a full claim would absolve me. It was actually the lasso of awesome, but still.


Okay, question - why did you feel the need to reduce the chance of a scum kill on you by burning bridges? Would it have really helped the town if a protector, or investigator got killed instead of you? How would that have helped your "win with town, survival irrelevant" win condition?

You could very easily argue that I did the same, but I did honestly believe that a claim from me made me look not one bit more townie than not putting one forward did. The only bit of info I tried to withhold (but had to hint so a night write up wasn't misread) was that I silenced Jaded, because I thought that revealing that would make the scum more likely to want to keep me alive, and I would have prefered my death to an important town role (although by the end I'd actually worked out how to be an important town role). Of course, as I'm not convinced I did silence Jaded, this is all irrelevant.

The way I see it although useful your role was limited, so from a town point of view looking town and being night-killed was a better option for you (and me) than looking scummy, and getting a more important role killed.

[GruntMark]

Forgive if Im wrong, but I dont think MJD plays for a "town win" when townie, he plays for the town win and his own survival.

Its also probably why he's so antsy about bombs.

Makes sense to me, I was an outed investigator in Zim and he was bulletproof and he did not protect me once. Maybe because he feels I was not a good enough player to protect or he thought my character was crazy. I am not sure but what you says makes sense to me.

While in theory I'd say it could become unfair if abused. (always giving good players power roles, etc)

My experience in SIN with the CSI basically crapping on the game D1, after I had put in all that work building up a mini game for him and several otehrs based around his role and that of the SK...

I could see mods doing it.

There are all sorts of ways to play. But doing obvious stuff to get yourself lynched... those players can just about break a game in the right conditions.

Also another reason to never have a Jester in a GDS game. Don't want to start that whole precedent

Night 2

The man sat awkwardly in a chair. He was deep in thought, now ready to act.

And then a monster crashed through his window and slammed into him. The attack was savage and the man was left in a pool of his blood, nearly dead. Exhausted, the terrifying creature fled into the night.

***********************************
***********************************
Elsewhere...
OVER 9000 feet away...
***********************************
***********************************


Once again, a massive man set into the night, looking to dish out his own brand of justice. His head wasn't too clear though. He had made some plans of his own, but couldn't remember them now.

Something, or maybe someone, had happened to him tonight.

The aroma... what was it?

What had happened to him?

Didn't matter. There was his mark. The voices in his head were clear, this guy knew something and he needed to shake him down. Of course, he looked like a tough one. Good. Just like he liked them. No need to play by the rules.

He attacked from behind, pummelling his target into the ground. He roughed him up but good.

And the idiot didn't talk.

So he slammed his target's head in a car door.

Repeatedly.

Eventually, his target talked. They all talked. Happy with his work, the man turned to head back to his room.

*BAM*

The man fell to the ground, bleeding from the torso. Shooting him from a distance? What a bunch of pansies. Slowly, the man climbed to his feet.

*BAM*

Another gunshot, this time to the throat. Again, the man fell to the ground. Choaking on his blood, the man struggled to his feet and responded to his invisible attacker.

"Is...that...the...best...you...can...do?"

Again, the man pulled himself to his feet.

*BAM*

Another bullet, this time to the stomach. The man fell to his knees. He could survive being shot, but this was getting ridiculous. The killer was good. He'd done his homework. Injured, the man knew he needed to get to cover. He crawled slowly, but it was no use.

*BAM*

The bullet flew through Arrow's head, dropping him to the ground.

A meeting had just concluded. A reunion of sorts.

Sadly, it'd be a one-shot reunion for one of the participants.

The woman slinked along the roof, distracted by her success that night. She never noticed the monster of the man step out of the shadows beside her. With a stiff shove, he forced her off the roof.

Startled, she was just barely able to snap her whip upward, snagging the man's wrist and preventing her fall. Dangling off the edge, she started climbing the whip.

The man smirked, then grabbed the whip with both hands. He strained... and strained some more.

*SNAP*

Amazingly, the man ripped the bullwhip in half. Zeel1 fell to the ground, making a sickening thud upon impact.

-------------------------------------------

Arrows is dead. He was Marv, Justice Aligned Brute of Sin City.

Zeel1 is dead. She was Catwoman, DC Aligned Tantalizing Thief.

Nedew is injured and hospitalized and may not currently speak in the thread.

Jaded is injured and hospitalized and may not currently speak in the thread.

mjdgoldeneye has been released from jail and is free to participate in the thread.

1. Nedew (L) getting injured by SuperOwens (Venom). Injured players, it turns out, could be targeted at night (they just couldn't speak). If Injured players were attacked again (including roleblocks), they would die.

2. Arrows (Marv) was redirected to Jaded (Undertaker) by Poison Ivy (Prophet). Arrows used his heaviest attack on Jaded, which resulted in his silencing and injury (so, it wasn't eayragt). Then, trypio (Bullseye) killed Arrows. This also resulted in Destiny's (Anonymiss) delayed death during the next phase.

3. Zeel1 (Catwoman) recruited Antithesis (Nightwing). Then, lprock (Bane) killed Zeel1. Kills were not considered roleblocks for this game (Wallbanger, prior to the game's start, had posted rules for how to resolve night actions from mafiascum - I pulled this idea from there), thus why the recruitment went through.

Arrows
You are Marv, Justice Aligned Brute of Sin City

Walk down the right back alley in Sin City, and you can find anything. Even the OVER 9000-verse. At least, that's how you think you got here. Of course, you're not so sure, this whole process is so confusing. And, well, you don't have your pills. No telling how things will play out. For now, you're just trying to keep your head on straight. Try to help out the innocent and downtrodden. Try not to turn into the monster that everyone expects.

During the night phase, you may choose to attack another player and try to squeeze them for information. The more you use your power, the more likely it is that you'll lose control. Things could be especially problematic if you have reason to believe that you are harming innocents.

As such, you may control the level of your attack. You can choose to "rough up", "beatdown", or "mangle" another player each night phase, with "rough up" being the weakest assault and "mangle" being the strongest assault. The stronger your attack, the more likely you are to gain useful information. However, the stronger your attack, the more quickly you'll lose control.

Regardless of the level of your attack, your target will be roleblocked for the night. To attack another player, pm the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) and state the level of attack and your target.

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead.

Level 1 (rough up) was a roleblock with 0% investigative potential.
Level 2 (beatdown) was a roleblock that would inform Arrows of one person that his target had targeted at some point in the game.
Level 3 (beatdown) was a silencing, injuring, roleblock that would inform Arrows of two people that his target had targeted at some point in the game.

Here's the catch that was kept from the player: If Arrows targeted townies, he accumulated points based on the level of the attack (e.g., level 1 was 1 point, level 3 was 3). He received 0 points for targeting scum. If he reached 15 points, he'd turn SK (and a nasty, hard-to-kill SK at that).

Zeel1
You are Catwoman, DC Aligned Tantalizing Thief

The battle between Marvel and DC rages on! This, of course, couldn't have happened at a worse time, given that the forces of evil are on the move. Sadly, this leaves you and your allies with double duty. Defeat the villains and squash the forces of Marvel.

Your ally is Black Canary (moon_lit_tears). You may speak to her outside of the thread. You are sure that there are other DC characters around. It's important to find them, as you need to make sure that DC has a numeric advantage over Marvel.

You have the ability to steal objects from other players. You may use this ability on even numbered nights. To do so, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) with your target. If you successfully steal an object, you may choose to use this object during the following night phase (objects are automatically discarded after one night, thus you are not able to stockpile stolen goods). If you target a Marvel character, you will be informed of this. If, however, you target a DC character, you will not steal from them and instead this character will be recruited to your group.

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead and if the number of DC aligned players outnumbers the number of Marvel Aligned players.

As folks noticed, the Marvel and DC groups were intended to be mirrors of each other. This was especially true for the starting members (Black Canary/Catwoman vs. Elektra/Black Cat).

RNG decided that Marvel got the first steal (didn't want both groups stealing each night, as that would be pretty OP).

Also: Stealing was one of the few actions that would always be shown in write-ups (I used, with a few deviations, what I call the KART method):

K: kills
A: attacks (e.g. Marv or protectors working)
R: roleblocks (only those that did something)
T: thefts.

The deviations were generally for one-shots. So, maybe I should rename it KART1.

The goal was to encourage discussion in the thread, as I felt like inactivity had been a problem in recent games. I haven't decided whether or not I liked the results.

I honestly liked the fact it was not done EVERY night.

Me and Zeel talked a lot day and night 1 to figure out what we were going to do. We went over a list of EVERY player in the game and picked Anti to go after first. I was a bit unsure as he was one of the big name players in the game, but left the decision up to him as it was his role to do with as he chose. He made the right decision. :D

[Jaded]

Great game, all! Well played, Crayon - but great job on catching him, town.

(For the record, I wasn't actually unkillable - I had a one-shot resurrection, as seen on the final night, and was hoping I could bluff it if needed. Thankfully, not needed. :) )

Day 3

Once again, Mafia-Ville was busy with activity. Accusations were made, though nothing came of them. As night came, the crowds again dispersed.

One person, however, did not head back to her room. This faceless woman sulked in the corner.

She was miserable. And she just wasn't sure...

Last night... was... Suddenly, it all made sense to her. The hole wasn't in the center of being, it was in her chest.

Slowly, Destiny faded into nothingness.

This ghastly image hastened the retreat from the town square. One person, however, was not allowed to retreat. The man with a gun just shook his head and pointed his pistol in the direction of the jailhouse.

No lynch was achieved.

Destiny is dead. She was Anonymiss, Justice Aligned Woman Without a Name or Face

Prophet has been arrested, placed in jail, and currently is not allowed to speak in the thread.

Jaded and Nedew have been released from the hospital and are allowed to talk.

And then Destiny died. With what happened on N2, his death was imminent (e.g., the number of deaths on this day was either going to be 1 (Destiny) or 2 (Destiny and the lynchee for the day). No lynch, so just Destiny.

Destiny
You are Anonymiss, Justice Aligned Woman Without a Name or Face

You are an OVER 9000-verse native, best known for not being known.

You've survived all this time by blending into the environment. Each night, you may choose to hide behind another player. When hiding behind another player, other players will be unable to target you. If the person you hide behind happens to die, you will also die. Also, if you happen to hide behind a player that is making a kill (even if this person is also Justice aligned), you will die.

You would really, really, really prefer to not claim. This goes against everything you believe. As a result, if you give your actual role-title as a claim in a post, you will be stripped of your ability.

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead.

I have a love-hate thing going with hiders. I like the concept, but hate the "I'm targeting so and so tonight, so if I die look at them" thing that happens.

Don't get me wrong. If I got a hider role that worked that way, I'd use that strategy too.

I just think that if the person is hiding, then they should be hiding. So, Destiny could, it turns out, hide behind anyone. However, if he hid behind a person getting killed, the attack would hit him as well (here, the thought is that one of the bullets that hit Arrows/Marv passed through and hit Destiny in the chest) and he'd die. If he hid behind someone that made a kill, it'd make Destiny freak out and he'd get injured as he tried to flee.

In both cases, the death was delayed, to throw off / complicate the utility of the hider as an investigative tool.

Night 3

She stood on the rooftop, oblivious to all that was going on around her. Her powers were dangerous and she risked much tonight, yet still she was determined to try to make an impact.

With her hands raised above her head, she gazed out to the city.

"Winds of destiny...let there be change!"

Energy burst from her hands and into the town.

The effects of her action were not quite as dramatic as she had hoped.

A woman stared at her notes, trying to make sense of what she had learned that night.

In her universe, she was powerful and deadly. In the OVER 9000-verse, she was unable to access her powers and was limited to the use of her brain. Mind you, it was a marvelous brain. And already, it was putting together an impressive amount of information.

Still, it is a safe bet that this woman missed her powers tonight, as the massive man kicked down her door. Quickly, he backed the startled woman into a corner.

This was not what he was expected. She tried to convince him to let her go.

Everything she said made sense.

No matter.

The brute grabbed i effin rule by the wrist and effortlessly flung her through a window and to her death.

She slinked along and peered through the window. And the she looked and looked some more.

There was nothing here that she could figure out how to use.

Silently, she cursed to herself, then fled away into the night, before the dwelling's resident noticed her presence.

For a second time, this man sat awkwardly in his chair. The probability of being attacked again, in the same spot, was small. Someone would be watching, right? Very low chance of someone attacking.

Small enough probability that he'd risk being here.

After all, his deductive abilities were 72% better in this spot. The rewards were worth the risks.

He had always been a strange one. He liked to refer to himself as an outlier. Apparently, his death would be an outlier as well. For tonight, despite all of his mental reassurances to himself, he would die.

*BAM*

Nedew slumped over, bleeding from the head.

Tonight, Lady Justice would cry, for it would surely be difficult to stop the tide of evil now.

-------------------------------------------

i effin rule is dead. She was Moonstone, Dark Avengers Aligned Psychologist Posing as Ms. Marvel

Nedew is dead. He was L Lawliet, Justice Aligned Greatest Detective

Prophet has been released from jail and can now participate in the thread.


1. BHK1978 (Scarlet Witch) using her one-shot standard busdriving ability on petrija and SuperOwens. A few roles could target jailed players. BHK was one. As petrija always targeted GruntMark (via the role's restriction), if SO had sent in an ability, he would have targeted GM (despite being in jail).

2. i effin rule (Moonstone) getting killed by lprock (Bane). Not a good phase for the scum and, honestly, the start of a couple of bad phases.

3. Jman (Black Cat) trying to steal from Wallbanger (Wonder Woman). Wonder Woman and BHK were immune to thefts, given the mystic/innate nature of their abilities (plus, I wanted to keep the opposing masons in the dark about the abilities of one member of each team)

4. Nedew (L) getting killed by trypio (Bullseye).

i effin rule
You are Moonstone, Villain Aligned Psychologist Posing as Ms. Marvel

Many suspect that you are a sociopath, given the fact that you apparently find genuine pleasure in the misfortune of others and have no problem being the source of said misfortune. Of course, few would say this to your face on Marvel's Earth, given your range of superhuman abilities. Sadly, the transition to the OVER 9000 verse has not been as kind to you as it has been to others, as you are yet to recover your superhuman abilities. Fortunately, Osborn isn't a fool and sees value in your other, more mundane skills and thus, quickly recruited you onto his team of villains.

You may speak with your allies outside of the thread. Your allies are:

Norman Osborn - masterded
Bullseye - trypio
Venom - SuperOwens

You are a skilled, if unethical, psychologist. As such, you are an expert at reading people. Each night you may target another player and learn about their role. To do so, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) and state your target.

You win the game when the number of villains in the game is equal to the number of non-Villain Aligned players in the game.

Standard rolecop, with the ability to make the hitman a bit more effective (see the entry on trypio, later in this thread). IER had played well up to this point, but had done a good enough job that he had convinced the other scum faction that he was a townie.

Nedew
You are L Lawliet, Justice Aligned Greatest Detective

It must be deduced that your presence here implies that the situation is quite dire. Sadly, however, you are less well known in the OVER 9000-verse and do not have access to your usual resources. This may make your task somewhat more difficult, but not impossible.

You may investigate the death of another player. To start this process, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) and state your target (your target must be a deceased player). You will learn a great deal about this player. Not all of this information will be useful, but you've always erred on the side of knowing too much instead of too little. If this particular case interests you, you may, on subsequent nights, search for this person's killer.

To do so, PM the mods and state which target you would like to investigate. The results from this night action will be in direct reference to your current investigation. You will receive an estimated probability that your target killed the victim in the case you are currently considering. Your estimates are preliminary in nature and can be refined by investigating a player twice, though this obviously comes at the cost of learning about other potential offenders. While your method is slower than others, your deductive ability and attention to details may allow you to find killers that others might miss.

Note: Despite your great intelligence, you have a limited attention span. You can only work on a single case at once. If you would like to study the case around a new victim, you would have to start this process over.

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead.

When I first scripted this game out (like a year ago), I knew that I wanted L in the game as a potential foil for Light. Wasn't really sure how to do it. Thought about making L only able to find Light, but that would confirm that Light was in the game. Thought about making L a standard investigator, but thought that might be a bit much on the townie side (given the masons ability to find the Marvel/DC scum already).

Decided on a fairly weak FI. Here, L would take a case on one night. Then, he would investigate someone and get an estimated probability that they were the killer. The estimated probability was essentially 1/number of players in the game, unless the person could make a kill (e..g, the current hitmen, Light, the mason vigs, Marv, and Phoenix Wright), in which case it was 2 (1/number of players in the game).

L could then investigate a person twice. If it was the actual killer, the probability would double. Otherwise, it would be cut in half.

Tough role to use, but one of the only things that could catch Light red-handed.

Unfortunately, Nedew came out with hints pretty early and both scum groups seemed ready to kill him from the get-go.

[d_w_w]

That's all for now. Probably do another phase or two later tonight.

[Antithesis]

Interesting to see a modified Greed in the game, I always suspected DWW really liked that role. :D Fortunately for us the scum got taken out before it could become a factor.

I admit I overlooked Crayon after he lied because what he described sounded alot like the Waitress in SIN as well.

[d_w_w]

Interesting to see a modified Greed in the game, I always suspected DWW really liked that role. :D Fortunately for us the scum got taken out before it could become a factor.


Yeah :)

I was pretty liberal about "borrowing" from other games, with a pretty big emphasis on Sin and Lakeside :)

[crayon]

And finally, I would like to apologize to the scum in the game. I'll give a more detailed review of the game over the next day or so, but I hadn't anticipated on the absence of kills from the SK throughout the course of the game.

[...]

If I could do it all over again, I'd either add 1 to each scum group, or make
some substantial changes to the way the SK worked.

I'd like to apologize for this one myself, too. I played to win, but possibly I should have played more for fun, instead.

The optionality of it definitely did make sense from a character perspective, and allowed me to actually play it like Light, which was fun (when I got jailed I couldn't believe my luck), but perhaps the win condition could have motivated me more.

Unlike scum I felt like I really had no reason to value kills over not being found out, and with Astil already about and Waghlon guessing L from the "sitting awkwardly in a chair" I knew that I could have got found out pretty easily. Fingers were crossed that scum would take them out for me, but I guess they had other fish to fry.

Course if L didn't get offed so early it's possible that I would have exposed myself just to get him removed. How fun would it be to take out your greatest rival, after all :P

I have one question for crayon though.

Why did you feel so strong about lynching me?

d_w_w mentioned the lynchbait part of it, but I've also gotta state that your lack of answering any questions about your character after the fact, and your perceived avoidance of the game thread was mainly what sealed the deal (meta-gaming, I saw that you spent an hour or so on the forums the same night that everyone was voting to lynch you and yet you made no case for yourself).

So yeah, given the chance i'd probably do it all over again :)

You needed to play to win, and for fun.

For your first game you did excellent. I called you out a number of times. Too bad I'm not much of a voice for people to listen too. :(

You blew me off each time you meanie. :p

[mjdgoldeneye]

Okay, question - why did you feel the need to reduce the chance of a scum kill on you by burning bridges? Would it have really helped the town if a protector, or investigator got killed instead of you? How would that have helped your "win with town, survival irrelevant" win condition?

I played on a series of levels in the last game. First and foremost, I tried to stay out of the way and use my abilities in a well-timed manner without having to say anything. GM made that hard.

Then, when it was time to claim, I embellished by abilities simply by not explaining them. Scum probably saw that I wasn't doing much in the thread and that I had a potentially worrisome ability pool, so I wasn't top priority.

Then, I just tried to appear detrimental while helping when time for games were over.

If you'd note, once we were without clear direction, I offered myself up if necessary. I flat out put all my abilities on the table.

I play to survive until securing my survival becomes directly detrimental. The only people who didn't have a protective aura of secrecy around them were on my potential scum list before then. (Prophet, you, GM, petrija, bak, BHK, etc. It was a long list...)

You see, I've played more games here than ANYONE else and my survival rate is comparably horrible. I had sort of a vicious circle thing going on, but I've survived, I think, 3 of the last 4 games I've been in.

After winning and surviving 2 games in a row to start and then not surviving again until, actually, the last 2 or 3 months is a bit frustrating. So, it became my mission to do it again.

Now, I can survive and win relatively well.

In fact, townies are more useless alive than dead. :D

Forgive if Im wrong, but I dont think MJD plays for a "town win" when townie, he plays for the town win and his own survival.

Its also probably why he's so antsy about bombs.

Yea, I don't like bombs.

Makes sense to me, I was an outed investigator in Zim and he was bulletproof and he did not protect me once. Maybe because he feels I was not a good enough player to protect or he thought my character was crazy. I am not sure but what you says makes sense to me.

I didn't know you were an investigator. I don't even remember what your role was.

If you recall, I didn't pay much attention during that game. Don't take my lack of attention personally. I targeted freakin Zeel1 once or twice after it became entirely obvious that he was untargetable and I stood up for and figured out his role!

I did, however, protect Jaded from death at least once, protected MLT the night she died and simply got the bad side of an RNG, and bluffed 2 scum into no-kill nights. Also, I was a resident expert on the theme and knew Rev's claim had some holes, but he was probably going to be lynched anyway.

I can't say that's all that bad of a record.

[Destiny]

As others have correctly pointed out, this was a very enjoyable game. I was unlucky in that Arrows died on Night 2.

[d_w_w]

I'd like to apologize for this one myself, too. I played to win, but possibly I should have played more for fun, instead.

Yeah, I don't blame you at all for the lack of kills. It was a reasonable strategy for the role that I gave you. Even more reasonable given the inactivity of the role's predecessor.

I think, though, that an optional kill made it harder for the other two scum groups, given that the game was really designed to proceed with 2-4 deaths per day/night phase.

[crayon]

Gotta say that I love Marv's role as well. I was also convinced that Destiny died because his name was said out loud, as well

[GruntMark]

Im upset, cause it'll be ages before I finish 4th in posting and people like Crayon and MH are going to spend the next half year calling me scum because Im not broadcasting every opinion I have. :p

[d_w_w]

Gotta say that I love Marv's role as well. I was also convinced that Destiny died because his name was said out loud, as well

/wishes he had thought of that during the design stage :o

[mjdgoldeneye]

I'd like to apologize for this one myself, too. I played to win, but possibly I should have played more for fun, instead.)

I play to survive because otherwise I don't have much fun... :p (I mean, the time I'm alive is still fun, but the potential for the fun-ness of the game extending into the time when I'm dead is low. Power Rangers was a major exception as was character creation for the most part.)

I lack the attention span to keep up after I die, so survival prevents long lapses of mafia-less existence. Really, it's the same as mafia-ful existence, but one is more fun than the other.

I don't aim to get into personal wars of Mexican standoffs just to survive. Those are entirely precipitates from me reacting with everyone else... ;)

[Destiny]

However, mjdgoldeneye you had no problem surviving in Sunnydale but didn't seem to enjoy your role.

LAL!! :mad:

Had decided that Marvel and DC would only get one kill each. Was hoping to push them towards the dilemna of "do I kill the other town mason, or do I kill scum".

So, they couldn't get an extra kill via your ability.

I have a feeling I wouldn't be very good as a vig, because I'd just HATE killing townies if I was town. If me and MLT's roles were switched, I'd have probably never used that one-off, as I'd be too worried that my suspicions were off.

I'd especially never kill a townie on purpose as town, which got me feeling kind of strange about the Marvel/DC win conditions. Had I continued playing to see Marvel get eliminated, I'd have probably been very releived to see that we didn't have to do anything to get rid of them, to be honest with you. :p

Who knows how it would have went down if I didn't shine a spotlight on Zeel going
"Purrfect"

lol

Fixed. :p

I said that because I wanted it to be a hint I could point back to if I ever got pressured. In old games, I've seen people do that, with hints that were posted among the fluff of Day 1 and missed because of that..seemed to work wonders for them, so I thought "hey". That way, I could defend myself without MLT having to out herself by bailing me out.

Didn't actually want anyone to post about it immediately afterwards, but I guess I should know better than to try that with a game with you in it.. :p

But then, I guess I could've played it off a little better. I didn't reply to it because I didn't want to confirm who I was, nor did I want to lie. In hindsight, I should've gave a bit of an ambigous answer - something like "I won't say yes or no, but I will point out that Catwoman isn't the only cat in the database.. :cool:" or something like that. That somewhat implies no, but isn't actually lying.


I enjoyed my short time in this game. Wish I could've stayed in longer, of course, but I'm glad I was atleast able to get MLT a replacement partner - and a damned good one at that - before I left. Really, it's a good thing you outed yourself as DC, if not poor Moonkins would've been all by her lonesome all game.. :( :p

Yup, while I was town I was also generally working against you guys as much as possible. Figured by trying to out a DC spokesperson that I could get him killed and put you guys on the backfoot...

See here, kids? Let this be a lesson to you - trying to be greedy and manipulative will get your entire team dead before Day 7. :p

*giggles*

I am glad you got Anti too, even though it was against my better judgment. Shows you should NOT listen to me. :p

I don't know how it would have went down because if it were not for me we would have had Bossman on our side LONG before we did.

I for some reason had him down as denying DC/Marvel alignment. :( I don't know how I managed that though.

[mjdgoldeneye]

However, mjdgoldeneye you had no problem surviving in Sunnydale but didn't seem to enjoy your role.

I don't really remember it, but I was an indy survivor I think in a universe I didn't know with a borderline (or full on, IDK) lynch bait role.

Didn't I have to get the main character killed too?

Yea... It's not an inherently bad role, but I'd learned after CC and the Anti-Looney Toons group that any role that needs luck or help from another party to succeed doesn't normally end up being fun.

If someone knew the universe and got the role, it might have went better.

And, I don't recall surviving very long. I also think I was lynched, wasn't I?

[Destiny]

Whilst I don't have the notes with me for that game, I believe you may have been lynched without defending yourself.

[mjdgoldeneye]

Whilst I don't have the notes with me for that game, I believe you may have been lynched without defending yourself.

I might not have been home. I'm not around for large portions for the day. I'd never just lay down.

If claiming wasn't enough, that'd basically be all I could do anyway. If claiming was suicide or not enough, you gave that role to the wrong person because otherwise, the best you could hope for was a Liquid Man situation.

What was I going to say? I have to kill Buffy, but it's all cool? :p

It went from "he said the word "cult"" to "Anonymiss??? Thats too good a claim and would never be in the game!" without stop and with hardly any critical thinking involved.

Its not the questions, its the questioning. It draws attention to you.

I mean, sure people hint I call em out. But then I move on (unless I think their scum)

I don't keep bringing it up over and over.

I figure, if I out someone, and that person was fake claiming, and the person with the real role doesn't see it and speak up. Thats their problem.

I dunno if Destiny really suspected you were scum or what. But D1, in a themed game, what scum besides Arrows would try a fake hint? At D1 you have absolutely no idea what sort of roles are in the town.

Maybe he thought Catwoman was a on and off criminal and you were trying to sneak something by us. I dunno. All I can remember is at first I thought he had to be a Batman character too the way he zeroed in on ya.

[crayon]

Well, Mario can do that too.

Also, aren't Skrulls bad? Why would I hint at a bad guy?

Well I didn't actually think Skrull at first.. but yeah def couldn't think of an anime character who could flatten or set someone on fire. Typically that sort of overpowered'ness comes from American comics.

Ouch that must have been a fun scum board.


UFC King: "hey guys, can we kill me tonight?!?!

YIM: I like kittenz!!!

[Comradebot]

For those unaware, "The Gambler" is essentially a jack of all trades that gets a new set of powers every single night, and must choose one of them... though the power has a randomness to it, and my do anything from working as planned to backfiring, to, I think, doing something even more awesome.

EDIT: Let me rephrase, they do NOT have to choose a power to use.... they can also choose just to "fold", thus doing nothing at night. Obviously this is handy if you don't feel anything you can do is worth the risk of zaniness.

[canyoudothecancan]

who is YIM?

[Antithesis]

It wouldnt be the first time a fake claim morphed into a real role.

Didnt the Gambler pop up for real somewhere?

Or are we still just fake claiming it and Im confused?

Still waiting for Arrows claimed, 'Bullet proof, Investigator-Watcher, Vigilante' from the first Star Wars to make an appearance.

Hasn't been around in a bit... I think ever since he modded South Park mafia.

It should be noted that SPM had phases that ended days after they were suppossed to.

You can edit mafia scum?

Mind doing me a favor.. add in Greed.

I wanna be famous. :D

[Prophet]

Also, what made Prophet think I was Fantastic 4 or a Skrull? :p

Being able to flatten people and set them on fire.. that smells like Super Skrull, who has the powers of each fantastic four member. That's why I thought it was funny coming from a non-comic book character

Well, Mario can do that too.

Also, aren't Skrulls bad? Why would I hint at a bad guy?

Yeah, Crayon nailed it. I figured it was an all encompassing blanket to be a 4 member, with you possibly being an actual skrull, using the Fantabulous bunch as a cover. And I never had access to the actual mod, so I relied mostly on lp for info when he was alive (which is why I tossed the Scarlet Witch claim ... good call on my part. lol) so I never considered Mario until it was too late.

And I was able to sell I was a PGO to them even when I said I wasn't... Great success! :p

We'd tossed around a lot of PGO theories. Kept hoping I'd find one early, so I could add a kill, but it never happened. But more to your point, it was a moment of protesting too much, I felt, so I didn't deny the possibility.

They took the number of meows, and traced that to a number of a letter in the alphabet.

Meow = A
Meow Meow = B

Heh. I borrowed this idea for my fake claim in SIN, thinking it was original and having completely forgotten that CBot had come up with it a few games earlier. Of course he was with us at the time so it was even more of a facepalm moment...

Vote: Frustration

[moon_lit_tears]

Ok my final thoughts on the game here.

Over all it was incredible.

MJ still had me stumped till the end. I swear I thought he was scum so many times. :D

Crayon. I called him out so many times that I was upset when he turned out to be scum. :( Well played I hope you are here more.

Anti/Banger/Zeel.......You guys were great. Poor Zeely didn't last long :( Anti and banger made great team mates. We had so many ideas to bounce around and worked very well as a team.

Grunt/Pet. You two were pretty well worked together given you could not speak to each other. You two played your roles very well.


Everyone else.......I don't take many notes in these games so the claims and players just kind of Poof......Everyone played pretty cool though.

D_Dub/Rev This was a fun game. The only phase that was prolonged you told us before that it would be due to watching the Fight on saturday night (Witch I missed :() Other then that Phases were pretty well done in excellent time. I love seeing mods on top of the game. You guys rocked it!

Day 4

Quickly, the people of Mafia-Ville surrounded SuperOwens. They threw insults, fruits, and stones at the accused. One person even through a shoe.

Some in the crowd urged for patience and caution. "We have daylight, let's use it", they said.

Others, however, were eager for blood.

For his part, SuperOwens tried to explain himself, he tried to explain his actions. The events of the previous night, however, weighed heavily on the minds of the crowd.

And thus, discussion was of no use though. Very quickly, the more eager members of the mob advanced upon him. In a matter of moments, SuperOwens was dead.

The crowd rejoiced. Except for the poor person that was being hauled off to jail in the background.

SuperOwens is dead. He was Venom, Dark Avengers Aligned Thug Posing as Spider-Man.

Petrija has been arrested, is in jail, and currently cannot speak in the thread.

The death of IER on the previous night had pretty much sealed SO's fate. At this point in the game, Gonvick was on fire. He had called out at least three scum, which probably sealed his fate, but once again reaffirms that Gonvick is a top tier player player.

IMHO, Gonvick is like top 3 on the site, and that's only because it gets hard for me to decide between the top 3.

SuperOwens
You are Venom, Dark Avengers Aligned Thug Posing as Spider-Man

You've spent the majority of your villainous career working as the Scorpion. Recently, however, you have become the host body for the creature known as the Symbiote. As with those before you, this presented you with the powers of Venom. Unfortunately, your Symbiotic Partner is somewhat weaker in the OVER 9000-verse. Still, you are versatile and could prove quite useful to your allies in the coming days.

You may speak with your allies outside of the thread. Your allies are:

Norman Osborn - masterded
Moonstone - i effin rule
Bullseye - trypio

You and your Symbiotic Power have the energy to perform the following actions:

Guard: You may protect another target and try to prevent other players from reaching your target.
Assault: You may attack another player, silencing them for the following day phase.
Ensare: You may use Symbiotic Tendrils to trap another player, preventing them from doing anything for the night.
Frame: You can use your experience and street smarts to frame another player.

Each action can only be performed once in the game. To perform each action, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) and state which one-shot ability you would like to use and your target.

You win the game when the number of villains in the game is equal to the number of non-Villain Aligned players in the game.

SO was a scum JOAT for the Marvel group. I think I came up with this role fairly late in the design and I'm not sure I really sure how I feel about it. Played pretty well while in the game, but the Dark Avengers took a big gamble when they joint silenced/role-copped Nedew on the first night (e.g., if the watcher was paying attention, it was likely they would be there too).

Tough break.

Night 4

The man held the small object in his hands. He stared at it and smiled. And then he ran.

Faster and faster.

And then...

Giant whoopie cushion? Check.

Cartoon-sized mallet? Check.

Man-sized mouse trap? Check.

Good, she had everything that she needed to have a good time for the night. She started tossing the items in her suitcase, sure that she was out to help her cause tonight.

Sadly, it wasn't to be.

*BAM*

The bullet came from seemingly nowhere. Tha Black Phenom dropped to the ground, dead before she knew what hit her.


***********************************
***********************************

He could hear him coming. How naive, to think that they could get the drop on him.

Deftly, he dropped behind the massive man. "Looking for me?"

Startled, the large man turned around. "Actually... yes." The large man threw a massive hook to the smaller man's head.

The agile man ducked the attack and responded with a kick to the large man's stomach. No effect.

He was risking much, engaging this monster in hand to hand combat. It was time to end this. A swift kick to the inside of the knee, twisting around... a back elbow to the nose. A sickening crunch.

A front kick to the groin, then a hard chop to the collarbone. The attack brought the big man to his knees.

Gonvick was startled, however, when the large man punched him in the stomach, forcing all of the air form his lungs.

How did he shrug off those att...

His thought process was interuppted, as the large man flung him into a nearby brick wall, face first. He was disoriented. His senses couldn't compensate for the trauma his brain was currently experiencing.

Gonvick's last vision would be the brute standing over him.

Holding a dumpster.

And then dropping it on him.

Finally, the old pervert was gone. She made her move. The door collapsed under the kick and the figure rolled into the room. The occupant, startled, jumped to her feet, ready to defend herself.

The home invader pointed the odd contraption at the resident.

Was it really wise to use this device?

Too late for second thoughts.

*BZZZPT*

The device made an odd noise as she pressed the on bottom. A beam of light blue energy short forward and hit her target. She looked down. It was firing backwards as we...

And then, they both stood there. Awkwardly.

Motionless.

-------------------------------------------

Tha Black Phenom is dead. She was Harley Quinn, Arkham Asylum Aligned Hench Wench.

Gonvick is dead. He was Daredevil, Justice Aligned Man Without Fear.

derek_b and moon_lit_tears appear to be frozen in time. They cannot currently speak in the thread.

Petrija has been released from jail and is now allowed to speak in the thread.

1. mjdgoldeneye (Mario) running and using the leaf.

2. Tha Black Phenom (Harley Quinn) getting ready to target Jman2k3 (Black Cat), before getting killed by trypio (Bullseye). It was like an unintentional revenge kill :(

3. masterded (Iron Patriot) was redirected to mjdgoldeneye (Mario) by Prophet (Poison Ivy). Confusion ensued.

4. Gonvick (Daredevil) vs. lprock (Bane). Honestly, I wanted to copy the Daredevil / Bane match from my diary, but that seemed too lazy. This was a solid kill for the scum, as Gonvick was causing some problems for them at this point.

5. derek_b (Elektra) bursts in on moon_lit_tears (Black Canary) and blasts her with a Time-Stopper. All of Waghlon's (Donatello's) devices had drawbacks, this one had the drawback of silencing the user and the target. The quirk here is that derek_b and moon_lit_tears got their own private forum for the duration of the day 5.

Tha Black Phenom
You are Harley Quinn, Arkham Asylum Aligned Hench Wench

Oh, Mr. J! How fortuitous it was that you met him at the Asylum. It was love at first site and even to this day, you'd do anything for your Puddin'. Even follow him into the OVER 9000-verse!

You may speak with your allies outside of the thread. Your allies are:

The Joker - canyoudothecancan
Bane - lprock
Poison Ivy - Prophet

Each night, you may go out and cause some mischief on Mr. J's behalf. More specifically, you will use a comically inspired object to throw off another player's plans. To do so, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) and state your target.

You win the game when the number of villains in the game is equal to the number of non-Villain Aligned players in the game.

Standard roleblocker, actions would only show up his target was active. Had been called out just a phase or so ago by Gonvick for scummy comments, which made it kind of surprising to me when the other scum opted to kill him.

Gonvick
You are Daredevil, Justice Aligned Man Without Fear

You are well known as the blind protector of Hell's Kitchen. Your radar-like senses, however, allow you to overcome your blindness and there are few that are better suited to watch over the innocent than you. While Hell's Kitchen is no where to be found, your abilities remain, as does your desire to protect the innocent.

Each night, you may watch another player and discover who, if anyone, targeted that player at night. To do so, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) with your target.

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead.

Standard watcher, could be recruited to the Marvel faction. Was the counterpart to Nightwing (Anti), who was the townie/DC tracker. Great moves by Gonvick early in the game. He watched Nedew the night he died as well, but couldn't spot the killer (under the right conditions, the Marvel hitman couldn't be tracked or watched).

[d_w_w]

More tomorrow. Kind of sleepy.

[Antithesis]

Yeah Gonvick played a great game. Guess there just weren't any protectors out there free to look after him.

[crayon]

Just realized I never took the opportunity to thank d_w_w for the great game, as well as using my mod as the basis for it. If it wasn't for that I probably never would have taken the plunge into the forum like this at all.

Also good to see that other people enjoyed it, despite the lack of knowledge of theme. Was worried that it may sour people somewhat.

I hope I'll get around to playing more. If I do it'll likely be small games. Hard to say though, because honestly it was quite an exhausting experience.. Constantly running through different scenarios and possibilities in my head each day, not to mention the attention that I had to apply to every post to make certain I didn't make some grammatical slipup which could be misconstrued.

Plus this was my one and only opportunity that I could play the noob card :P

---

(oh yeah, and whoever mentioned a "New World Order" when I typed "nwo" instead of "now" the first day after I came in on as a replacement, you were actually on the money coz it was an intentional hint.. think of it as an easter egg in hindsight :))

[gonvick]

Standard roleblocker, actions would only show up his target was active. Had been called out just a phase or so ago by Gonvick for scummy comments, which made it kind of surprising to me when the other scum opted to kill him.

That surprised me too. I was trying to point townies at him. Though I think it was mostly a night phase thing so maybe they had already sent in their target.

I was actually hoping IER would be night killed early on. Was hoping there had been enough put out there about Nedew's role being important that the opposing scum group would think he might have been protecting him. Was pleased to see that result, whatever their reasoning was.

Didn't think I'd live long after the Venom thing, though I was kinda hoping someone might keep me safe for a while. But apparently we lost that role right away.

Anyway, it was a fun game and I enjoyed following it from the graveyard. So thanks to dww and Rev, and all the players that made it a great game.

Night 5

Once again, the figure stood atop one of the highest buildings in Mafia-Ville.

Feeling reinvigorated, energy jumped from her hands and into the city.


***********************************
***********************************

OVER 9000 seconds later...
***********************************
***********************************


She dropped in from the skylight and looked around.

This was not what she had expected. Quickly, she grabbed some from off a table and darted towards the exit. She swung the door open and ....

*BAM*

The bullet sailed through Jman2k3's head, dropping her to the ground.

The killer stood there, smiling at his handy work. He never noticed the other figure creep up behind him. A hard blow from behind forced the gun out of his hands and instantly, the killer was pulled into a tight choke hold.

He struggled. And then he struggled some more. But trypio couldn't get out of the hold.

Slowly, everything went black.

-------------------------------------------

Jman2k3 is dead. She was The Black Cat, Marvel Aligned Tantalizing Thief.

trypio is dead. He was Bullseye, Dark Avengers Aligned Assassin Posing as Hawkeye.

1. BHK1978 (Scarlet Witch) using a second 1-shot busdriving (courtesy of eayragt). This was nearly a disaster, as BHK switched the jailed lprock (Bane) and GruntMark (Integra). Due to the way the bus-driving works and it's combined magic/mystic nature, BHK was able to move people from prison. As he mentioned, it forces people onto the other's targets. Fortunately for the town, GruntMark didn't have an active night ability. If BHK had switched lprock with someone that had an active targeting night action, lprock would have still made a kill that night.

2. Jman2k3 (Black Cat) dropped in to try to recruit Prophet (Poison Ivy, but had kind of sailed with a claim of Jean Grey). Hence the "this is not what she expected" part. Then, trypio (Bullseye) walked up and shot her. Then, moon_lit_tears (Black Canary) dropped in and used her one-shot vig on trypio.

Jman2k3
You are The Black Cat, Marvel Aligned Tantalizing Thief

The battle between Marvel and DC rages on! This, of course, couldn't have happened at a worse time, given that the forces of evil are on the move. Sadly, this leaves you and your allies with double duty. Defeat the villains and squash the forces of Marvel.

Your ally is Elektra (derek_b). You may speak to her outside of the thread. You are sure that there are other Marvel characters around. It's important to find them, as you need to make sure that Marvel has a numeric advantage over DC.

You have the ability to steal objects from other players. You may use this ability on odd numbered nights. To do so, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) with your target. If you successfully steal an object, you may choose to use this object during the following night phase (objects are automatically discarded after one night, thus you are not able to stockpile stolen goods). If you target a DC character, you will be informed of this. If, however, you target a Marvel character, you will not steal from them and instead this character will be recruited to your group.

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead and if the number of Marvel aligned players outnumbers the number of DC Aligned players.

The counterpart to Zeel1, same role, just stole on odd nights. Kind of sad that both of the theifs died so early in the game, but the kills made sense for the scum teams. Jman played well while in the game, as he was able to use his theme knowledge to present a number of scenarios that were pretty close. Unfortunately for him, this probably drew too much attention his way, thus his death.

trypio
You are Bullseye, Dark Avengers Aligned Assassin Posing as Hawkeye

Back on Marvel's Earth, you were known as one of the deadliest assassins in the world, known to virtually never miss. It's a new universe, but you haven't changed: you're still deadly accurate and more than happy to take Osborne's checks. You may speak with your allies outside of the thread. Your allies are:

Norman Osborn - masterded
Moonstone - i effin rule
Venom - SuperOwens

You are the hitman for the group. Each night, you must attempt to kill another player. To do so, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) and state your target.

You should note that you perform better when you have additional information on your targets. As such, if you attempt to kill a player that has been previously investigated by your teammate Moonstone, the kill will be well planned, thus preventing anyone from receiving tracking or watching results that identify you at that particular scene.

You win the game when the number of villains in the game is equal to the number of non-Villain Aligned players in the game.

Bullseye was the primary hitman for the Dark Avengers group. Both of the primary scum hitmen had special abilities to make their roles (A) a little more interesting and (B) to weaken the power townie roles.

Here, Bullseye was immune to tracking/watching if they targeted a player that had been previously investigated by Moonstone. This worked out for them when Nedew was killed.

trypio, for his part, played a fairly quiet game and didn't give up much info about him or his group, but his voting behavior drew the attention of both mason groups.

Day 6

The crowd gathered around lprock, with some quicker to take action than others. After much debate, it was determined that he had to go.

For his part, lprock stood silent, staring at the ground. Beneath that silence: a mound of rage. This wasn't supposed to happen. This wasn't the way it was supposed to end. They promised him more! MORE!

And then the crowd made a move. They tried to drag lprock to the make-shift gallows. He easily shrugged off his attackers and roared at the crowd.

And so the crowd tried again. This time, they beat lprock with sticks and stones and other stuff that can break bones. But he shrugged off the assaults, and again forced his accusers back.

Finally, one man dropped in from behind and grabbed a tube produding from lprock's neck. In one quick and violent motion, the man yanked the tube free. Liquid squirted from the tube and lprock freaked out, flinging the man off of him and completely destroying a nearby shack while trying to reattach the line.

Sadly, strength and not flexibility was his game. Try as he may, he could not reattach the hose.

And slowly, lprock shriveled and shrunk until finally, he was just a wet, soggy pile of bones. Such are the wonders of the OVER 9000-verse.

Satisfied, the crowd began to dissipate. Once again, the man with a gun stopped one person from leaving.

lprock is dead. Bane, Arkham Asylum Aligned Venom Addict

moon_lit_tears has been arrested, is in jail, and currently cannot speak in the thread.

lprock (Bane) was a victim of iMac's role. iMac, while quiet did a good job of following the thread and making reasonable choices to arrest. If I did this again, I'd probably let the scum groups nominate a pinch killer if their primary hitman went down.
Yet another strike against me :(

lprock
You are Bane, Arkham Asylum Aligned Venom Addict

On first glance, some might say that you're the poster boy for why people should avoid steroids. If only steroids were the problem! Instead, you are addicted to a powerful chemical known as Venom. When injected in small quantities, Venom results in enhanced muscle growth and endurance. When injected in large quantities, Venom results in rapid bodily growth and uncontrollable rage. You have yet to find a sustainable source of Venom in the OVER 9000-verse, but the Joker has promised to help you with your little problem if you help him dispose of the forces of Justice.

You may speak with your allies outside of the thread. Your allies are:

The Joker - canyoudothecancan
Poison Ivy - Prophet
Harley Quinn - Tha Black Phenom

You are the hitman for the group. Each night, you must attempt to kill another player. To do so, PM the mods (d_w_w and Imarevenant) and state your target.

You should note that failure can inspire venom-induced rages. As such, if you are prevented from making a kill, you will enter a venom-induced rage. When enraged, you will have less control over your aggression and thus must present a list of three targets that you wish to kill that night. Your actual target will be randomly selected from this list. On the plus side, when enraged, you cannot be roleblocked nor can protectors stop you from making a kill. You venom rage will end when you make a successful night kill.

You win the game when the number of villains in the game is equal to the number of non-Villain Aligned players in the game.

The other specialized hitman. Bane, if he ever failed a kill (e.g., via targeting a hider, being roleblocked, or successful protection), would go on a rampage during the next phase and would be unstoppable for the next kill. Interesting (to me), but it never came to be.

Felt bad for lprock, as the arrest situation had pretty much sealed his fate.

Night 6

The man sat his desk, with his feet propped up on the table. He flipped through some ridiculously large book. He was a prodigy of sorts and could make a case at any time. Still, he hadn't feel strongly enough about his beliefs so far and had thus tried to keep out of the limelight.

*CRUNCH!*

As his door snapped open, the man jumped up from his desk and pointed at the intruder. "OBJE..."

*BZZPT!*

His expression was cut off by a scathing burst of energy from his intruder's hand. Glotnot looked down. He could see through his chest. Following this revelation, he slumped to the ground, rather dead.

OVER 9000 seconds later...

***********************************


She was biding her time. Nearly ready to make her move. She had predicted her own death and wanted to make her presence known before it was too late.

And yet she held off. Again.

Unfortunately, her predictions were right.

As she meditated in the glow of the moonlight, the ground came to life and the room violently shook. She jumped to her feet, ready to defend herself. And then a massive vine slammed through the window. With skill, she dodged the vine and produced her weapons. Quickly, the green entity was torn asunder.

Three more vines came through three more windows. And again, she avoided and dispatched her foes.

Then a massive root emerged through the floor. It wrapped itself around her body. She fought and struggled, stabbing at the root with her weapon. Yet the root was old and strong and could not be separated.

Slowly, it tightened around derek_b's body. And slowly, her life faded away.

-------------------------------------------

Glotnot is dead. He was Phoenix Wright, Justice Aligned Defense Attorney.

derek_b is dead. She was Elektra, Marvel Aligned Gorgeous Greek Assassin.

moon_lit_tears has been released and may now participate in the thread.

1. Glotnot (Phoenix Wright) being killed by masterded (Iron Patriot). This was a good call on masterded's part, as Glot seemed to be pretty on top of things and (though no one knew this) had a powerful one-shot ability.

2. Prophet (Poison Ivy) killing derek_b (Elektra). The kill amused me, as derek_b had just told me via PM that he was pretty sure that his death was imminent. When you're right, you're right, I guess :D

Glotnot
You are Phoenix Wright, Justice Aligned Defense Attorney

Yes, we get it: you object.

You are a strangely popular defense attorney in your universe, best known for the "DS" trials. One day you went to the swamp to investigate, turned a corner, and BAM! Suddenly you were in the OVER 9000-verse. Interestingly, you find it a bit harder to say "Objection!" in this universe, though you can intuitively tell that those words hold special meaning and power here.

Once during the game, you may auto-lynch another player during the day phase, provided that the situation is correct. You can only auto-lynch a player that is not currently under suspicion (that is, a player that has no votes on them) and may only do so if another player is under suspicion (that is, another player must be at least 1/2 the way towards lynching). To do this, you must post "OBJECTION" in bold in the game thread (you may, should you choose to, use a large font when you do this, as it will make the event all the more dramatic) and /point @ the player you would like to auto-lynch.

Just to be clear on this: you can do this once per game and can only do it if:

1. Your target has no votes on them.
2. Another player has at least 50% of the votes needed to be lynched.
3. You post "OBJECTION" in bold in the game thread and type out "/point <your target's name>"

You win the game when all threats to Justice are dead.

Glot played a solid game, added useful comments at the right times, etc. Plus, his own play and posting style was confusing enough that I think he probably bought himself some extra time.

Phoenix Wright was the 1-shot day killer, but with a variety of restrictions (see above).

derek_b

The counterpart to the Black Canary. Would have probably enjoyed writing more Elektra phases. Have to think about how to rectify this if I ever do another themed marvel game.

derek_b was effective, as usual, and was a source of concern for pretty much everyone. Watching derek and MLT in the frozen in time forum was kind of an interesting social experiment. While there wasn't a ton of information shared between the two groups, it was pretty clear (to me) that Derek had a good grasp of what was going on and had some good hunches at that part of the game. I was surprised that he gave himself up as Marvel aligned to her, but I guess it didn't matter, as Prophet felt it was necessary (and was probably right) to kill him.

[Comradebot]

Yeah Gonvick played a great game. Guess there just weren't any protectors out there free to look after him.

I'm not 100% positive, but I think I was the only non-mason protector (other than pet, who could only watch out for GM).

Which basically meant I was (doubly!) boned, since I couldn't protect myself.

For the best for the scum, since I planned to keep Arrows up and alive if at all possible. Tricksy scumses....

[GruntMark]

Only you could have saved you.

Or perhaps....YOUR TWIN BROTHER

DUH DUH DUUUUUUU

[Comradebot]

You have to figure out a way to rectify Elektra dying?

Really, Elektra? She's never come back from the dead before! Er, wait... :)

That said, ALL comic book characters come back from the dead... heck, Zoolander came back from the dead to escape Manhattan following his untimely demise in Hollywood Horror.

Nah, not the dying.

The getting her into more write-ups part :)

Ohhhhhhhhh.... that makes more sense.

Masons didn't have any protectors, making you the only townie protector in the game.

Also, I might be wrong, the town didn't have any pure investigators either.

In restrospect it looks alittle bad on us DC's that we didn't double check Prophet directly after the Jean Grey claim. Reason for that being the same day he claimed, BHK said his character was" either a marvel or DC" and I wanted to take a shot at adding to our numbers (as already several folks had claimed to be Marvel peeps). After that MLT was Frozen with Derek and Derek said they would be trying to recruit Prophet, so I tried to build up the DC group because at that point in the game nearly everyone was either claiming an Anime character or a marvel character, and I thought the DC masons were quickly going to be outnumbered.

Once Jman and Derek died, without any recruitments shown in the write ups, I started trying to track more for scum hunting.

I still feel so crappy about mis-reading what Banger said. :( I mean it did all work out in the end, but it if had turned out bad I would probably smacked myself. :(

[Tha Black Phenom]

Found it somewhat shocking Prophet lasted this long, I figured eventually his claim was gonna come under heavy scrutiny but I guess other things always came up. Turns out, he ended being the last of our bunch lynched(of both groups actually).

I knew my Bulma claim wasn't gonna hold up, against my will I still initiated the premise for it by slapping Astil once he claimed.

[GruntMark]

Found it somewhat shocking Prophet lasted this long,

I think it helped that he made it so early and Jean Grey is a very reasonable character to include

Course I reckon it would have fallen apart a bit sooner if JMan hadnt been killed that night.

[Tha Black Phenom]

Well, the constant Dark Phoenix discussion came up so we then braced ourselves for a potential loss, or at least a serious look-in which would put Prophet's night activity somewhat in jeopardy. I think he was even jailed early on? Yeah that was a small scare.

[Prophet]

I'll be honest ... I don't know how I lasted as long as I did. My best friend through most of it was the confusion of the Over9k reading (allowing me the option to do that "dark" turn thing I muffed up later). I half expected someone to out me that day by being Jean Grey (legitimately.)

As for the Derek kill, it was necessity. He knew Cancan wasn't who he'd said he was (before he said who he was, I think. lol) And when Derek knows, it's a bad thing.
