I may have another ability though.

Still hiding things, or suggesting it. If you have another ability, now is the time to come forth. End-game scenarios which could be altered by additional information usually don't work if that information is being hidden from the town.

Your big 'wait for all my information' post then failed to actually put forth any evidence/information.

Dr Henry · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 7:44 am

Just realised that at six remaining, no way of there being 3 mafia and the game still going.

Silly doc.

So either Spiro is an un-nightkillable mafia, immune to Kikori's poison... or Musc is mafia.

Vote stands.

Aragorn Ix · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 7:45 am

Dh has done very little for me that makes me think he's mafia.

We can only have a maximum of 2 mafia left, afaik.

In my mind it's 2 from 3 of:

Thr
Spiro
Musc

and the way Thr and Spiro are distancing themselves from each other makes me think those 2 are in cohorts.

Whom can actually die from poison, only Spiro was affected, wasn't he?

Aragorn Ix · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 7:50 am

Let me get this straight:

Kikori's poison doesn't affect me or musc.
It does affect Spiro but he has a role that negates it.
It did affect blue because he was killed by it.
We don't know if it effected sig because he was killed.

There's no logic to this, because both villagers and mafia have been affected by the poison...

My role does nothing to make me immune to poison, either.

Final thoughts:

Musc and I are town
Spiro is a lynch only mafia
Thr is mafia
DH is town

Lander could be town, could be third-party (as a survivor role... win-con essentially being 'don't get lynched' and his relatively quiet nature over the past few days works fine with this) but I cannot see him as mafia.

Sighence cleared Lander. Pish Posh

Aragorn Ix · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 7:53 am

Apologies for multiple posts, had completely forgotten about Lander. That is strange in itself because he's usually incredibly central to the play...

Think he may well be a town with a side win condition, but if Sig has cleared him we're all good.

Lynch Thr tonight.
Hope we escape a night kill or get lucky
Lynch Spiro tomorrow.

That would be my plan.

Muscular Ape · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 8:00 am

I am extremely confident Thr is mafia.

My two main reasons:

1. His vote for Sighence was inexplicable. He cannot keep claiming he was fishing for mafia (See point 2) any longer, as he vanished shortly after and did not post again. It is clear, and even said as much, that his vote was permanent. Nothing to me can make sense of his vote on Sighence except that he was trying to cash in off the confusion Kikori created by his meltdown story. This point is the one thing that stands out to me above all else. I think their plan A was definitely to get Sighence lynched, essentially giving them two more villager deaths before Kikori was inevitably lynched the next day.

2. I can confirm Thr can send messages. He sent one to me last night. I believe Lander could confirm this also - as Thr has claimed to send him one earlier. Tennis Ace also had a similar ability, and I find it very odd that there would be two villagers with similar powers. On the other forum I play on, Thr's ability is very similar to the 'Fake PM' ability, which is always scum.

Aragorn Ix · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 8:02 am

If Thr comes up town, remember who hammered. Though I'm convinced he's mafia at this point.

Thr · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 8:05 am

I would like you guys to look back. Ive baited myself this whole game to give hints, but no one seems to use it. Ive TRIED to look scummy so the mafia would use me as a scape goat when one of them is cornered, or to draw attention off someone else. The evidence is there for your pickings. You just have to look. I'm apparently at the point where no one will accept what I say so look for yourself.
Btw: You heard Kikori say it but I sent him a message that night. I still wasn't 100% sure he was town so I tried to give him a little spur. I do admit it was a bigger reaction than I thought, so I then tried to use it to check Sighence's validity. That turned out un-needed as of he died. I had to check though because of the Sparky incident.
Finally, of course I'm hiding things from you, but why do you think I chose messenger? I can PM my thought's to who I want without people hearing what I don't want them to know...

Muscular Ape · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 8:05 am

Oh man, that's a lynch already. I honestly didn't even see your vote for him, Aragorn.

Spiro being the last mafia makes perfect sense, actually. Was never cleared by Sighence, and it was a rather clever ploy to have him affected by the poison knowing he couldn't die from it.

Heh, if my intention was to hammer, I wouldn't have bothered providing an argument. As Dr Henry pointed out there has to be only two mafia left, and if their kill is successful tonight, it'd be 2v2 tomorrow and no lynch would occur regardless.

Thr · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 8:13 am

Oh, four Voters, well Mafia win. We just have to wait for top.
Musc, I thought you would have caught on...

Spirographed · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 8:24 am

Kikori said Sig, Blue, and I am mafia. The other two died and were town. Kikori was just trying to confuse us into killing townies on top of his poison, if it didn't work on some. How do you guys still think I'm mafia? I said I couldnt die and didnt. Ive told nothing but the truth. Also, good luck wasting a lynch on me tomorrow...I cannot die.

Topsummoner · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 9:33 am

Thr - 4 - Spirographed, Dr Henry, Aragorn Ix, Muscular Ape

AFTER BARELY ANY TIME AT ALL, THE TOWN DETERMINE THR MUST BE ANOTHER MAFIA. HE IS SWIFTLY LYNCHED, AND HIS QUARTERS EXAMINED. INSIDE HIS HOUSE ARE STACKS OF PAPERS, ENVELOPES AND WRITING SUPPLIES. NOTHING SUGGESTS HE IS MAFIA, HOWEVER.

Thr - Messenger, Lynched Day Seven

WORRIEDLY, THE PLAYERS HEAD TO BED. WERE THE END-TIMES APON THEM?

NIGHT SEVEN BEGINS.

Topsummoner · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 10:41 am

THE NIGHT PASSES FASTER THAN THE DAY. FUNNY HOW TIME FLIES.

AGAIN, TWO PLAYERS ARE MISSING. ARAGORN IX IS SEARCHED FOR, HIGH AND LOW. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF GUNFIRE IN HIS DWELLING, AND A BROKEN WINDOW. BESIDE IT, HIS SWORD IS FOUND.

Aragorn Ix - Aragorn, Killed Night Seven

NEXT IS MUSCULAR APE. HIS PLACE SEEMS BENIGN, BUT A LOCKED DOOR TO A BASEMENT IS DISCOVERED AND BROKEN DOWN. UNDERNEATH IS A LARGE METH LABORATORY, AND APE'S DISFIGURED BODY, HARDLY RECOGNIZABLE.

Muscular Ape - Walter White, Killed Night Seven

SPIROGRAPHED. DR HENRY. LANDERPUREX.
ONLY THREE PLAYERS REMAIN. TWO VOTES TO LYNCH.

DAY EIGHT BEGINS.

Dr Henry · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 10:44 am

Lander

Topsummoner · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 10:54 am

DR HENRY IMMEDIATELY STEPS UP TO LANDER.

"Leave this planet. It belongs to me now."

LANDER SCOFFS.

"As long as the people of Earth need me, I shall remain."

HENRY GRINS, REVEALING SHINING GREEN FANGS. "Are you sure? Don't you feel a bit... weaker than usual?" HENRY SPITS THE KRYPTONITE COVERS OFF HIS FANGS AT LANDER'S FEET, WHO RECOILS. LANDER REACHES UP TO HIS NECK, HIS FINGERS BURNING WHEN THEY TOUCH THE BITE-MARKS.

DEFEATED, LANDER TAKES OFF INTO SPACE.

Landerpurex - Superman, Exiled Day Eight

DR HENRY TURNS TO SPIROGRAPHED, WHO TURNS OUT TO BE A ROBOT.

THE ROBOT AND VAMPIRE SQUARE OFF... AND THEN CHARGE AT EACHOTHER. THEY--

...
...
...
that concludes our broadcast

GAME OVER!
Match Result: Draw (Third-Party + Mafia)

Winners:
Spirographed - B1-66er
Muscular Ape - Walter White
Dr Henry - Sorin Markov
Kikori - Venomancer

Thanks for playing everyone! A big debriefing will be up proooobably tomorrow. I'm at school right now so I don't have my document with me.

Dr Henry · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 10:57 am

LOL.

Good game.

Considering how poorly I played D2-D4, I don't know how I managed to survive the Sparky lynch and have Aragorn not suspect me.

Just so people know, I have a single-use night ability to target one person and make them require half as many votes that day to be lynched.

Pure luck that it was active today on Lander, as we did not expect Musc to be killed.

GG Spiro and my mafia cohorts. Especially Kikori - he so crazy with his fake rage-quit

Tennis Ace · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 11:06 am

Kikori had me totally snowed. Kudos for that. I was convinced bluecoat was Mafia over you.

Dr Henry and Ape did NOT. You people were idiots for ignoring everything I said about them and then targeting Sparky instead!!! What the hell. Literally, everything I said about those two was ignored because "they don't seem Mafia to me." Sigh.

Good game, all. I don't have much free time now, but will come back in a bit to read things over and respond.

Topsummoner · **Posted:** April 24th, 2014, 11:07 am

I guess I don't need my document to make some initial comments.

What a game! Upick usually suffers from a lack of day activity due to over-reliance on night powers; something I actively tried to prevent by (attempting to!) balance such that the Day phase would be essential for both Village and Mafia. If some of the middle days are any indications, that was a success.

I was really worried about the balance of this game. Landerpurex is immune to being killed, Aragorn returns from the dead one day after dying (wouldn't it be funny if I had just let the game go to Night 8, let Henry and Spiro kill eachother, and then have Aragorn revive for a Village win?), Spiro survives death once, and Riptide is a doctor on top of it? I shouldn't have been so shocked for First Blood to be on Night Three! Bodies started hitting the floor in true Upick fashion though from Kikori's death onward.

I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out though.
