KoolKoal: Feel free to take this with a grain of salt since self meta isn't particularly helpful, but I think I get scumread mostly for style over substance, but also for a certain lack of substance over style. It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.

No one is worried that the two investigative roles are contradictory? Like I get they both have heavy draw backs but there is a lot of power here.
@Shadow why would you watch Az N2? You've been saying the ability was chosen at random, wouldn't the risk of it being track again be a massive worry for you? Your actions are still not quite making sense to me.
Yeah...I don't really expect that we have two town-aligned watchers. From a behavioral standpoint you could make an argument for killing Shadow as the unconfirmed selection of that pair, I suppose. And the tracking ability may or may not actually tell us anything. But this maximizes our role info.
I don't think he is saying that he watched Az at any point. Also, his breadcrumbs have to be relevant.
Shadow who did you track last night?
No, I definitely watched Az last night. My ability gives me no control on whether I watch or track, I just get told at the start of night which I get and go from there.
I do actually think the plan of Anak block KJ and me track Anak is a good one, assuming I roll tracking. Mechanically, Anak and KJ are the only possible scum left if Grapefruit isn't scum.
I'm concerned about it, that's why I brought it up in the first place.
Which I feel really bad about if Shadow is town, because that means I created doubt where I didn't need to. :/ But I'm conflicted. Even though my investigation is weak, it's still hard to see the town having 'random tracker/watcher' and my role.
But it's like, Shadow tracking Az N1 makes perfect sense as town, as does him then watching Az if he knew Az was clear. Plus breadcrumbs etc. For him to be lying, it would mean that he was originally planning on just claiming Tracker, but modified it today when it became clear that he would have to keep clearing people. And that is some really impressive on the fly thinking.
Shadow, what's your flavor? I know you're Seppel and you joined to kill your brother. What else.
Seppel flavor paraphrased: The actions I perform are not aligned with what is or should be optimal, I do things on a whim, or just to get reactions. I'm infamous for being totally random, and just acting for my own amusement.
At this point I'm good with Lynching KJ as well, it just seems slightly less optimal since we have a pretty good idea that he already burned out (the ten vote super lynch doesn't seem like it's a normal ability), so the Grapefruit lynch is overall safer with me confirming Anak and Anak blocking KJ.
Despite mechanics looking pretty dodgy here, I'm still never lynching cyan, because if Anak is town, then he's cleared him, and if Anak is scum, then cyan can't be anyway.

Was that ever a question? D_V is clear too.
agreed, but I specifically mentioned it because cyan soft cc'd me, and I still think he's town too. Like I've already said, I don't mind getting lynched (would definitely prefer to track Anak first) because only you or KJ can even be scum at this point. It would make me sad just because I've not yet been mislynched in any game except a single mini and if like to keep it that way, but this game is on lock even with my death.

Not that it matters to anyone but me, but it was a micro I was mislynched in, not a mini. (Specifically Dragon Ball Mafia, palace guard with flavor)

Wasn't I already at L-1? Pretty sure we're in twilight now.
Anyway when I flip town don't waste time worrying about DV, Cyan, or Az. After rereading KJ still feels town because that Burnout seems really powerful as scum. Anak either has been faking a flavor claim better than I've ever seen or Shadow's claim was thought out really well in advance. I can't decide which one of those three is most likely to be scum. Leaning towards KJ at the moment, but I don't have confidence in that read.

If this is real then it makes me think it's probably just KJ? I guess we'll see.

After the second murder, people started how these murders had no comprehensible logic behind them. The targets made no sense, just like how they had been murdered.
Quite soon after the morning had begun, people decided to share all the information they had: who they were and what they knew. The guy with the moustache who had been acting weird all day started pointing at people while doing dramatic poses. Another person who had been spouting weird stuff the whole time started shouting names of other people.
Both of them claimed to have known that none of the people they had pointed to could've killed anyone, drawing attention to the one remaining person.
The remaining person, who was sharply dressed and an intelligent looking man. They had stayed quiet all the time, barely uttered any words during the whole revolution.
Soon, all the eyes were on this sharply dressed individual. Still no words from them. The moment seemed to last an eternity, until one of the people came from behind and stabbed the sharply dressed individual into the back. They slumped down, and only then they spoke for the first and last time:
"This is not the end. Mafia Council rise again, ready to take the revenge on you..."
Grapefruit21 has been lynched. They were:
Welcome to the game, Iso! Your role is the following:
Sir Chris (Mafia)
"If Sir Chris is scum, I think town is screwed"
You are the fresh new blood brought onto the Mafia Council, after Ecophagy started opposing Azrael and Iso. Now, the only problem between this current situation and UNLIMITED POWER is those rebels. Thankfully, you are a natural-born deceiver, being able to manipulate people and what they believe. You could probably kill someone in broad daylight and convince the others that it wasn't you. Now it's time for you to use your abilities and clear all the obstacles standing in front of you...
You have the following abilities:
Mafia Council (factional, passive): Discuss your plans to thwart the rebels plans here.
Falsifying Information (passive): Choose one of the following abilities Night 1. You will gain that ability and will lose the other one for the rest of the game:
Sir I-never-did-such-a-thing (passive): If you perform the mafia nightkill, you won't leave any evidence of you visiting the player you killed.
Sir I-want-this-guy-dead-now (passive): If you perform the mafia nightkill, that player will die until they are dead and nothing can prevent this.
You win when there are no more people rebelling against the Mafia Council.
After it dawned on people that the Mafia Council was down and that their revolution had succeeded, people started to truly celebrate.
First one the grab the bottle was whimsical person with a red hair.
Welcome to the game, shadowlancerx! Your role is the following:
Seppel (Town)
"The actions you have performed do not align with my pre-conceived notions of optimal actions to execute within this game of forum-based Mafia."
You are Seppel, the player (in)famous for the randomness of their actions. There is no way of guessing what your next move will be or when it will happen. You just do things for your own amusement, just to get reactions out of people and see their faces when you do something incredibly weird. To be honest, you are not really interested in this "revolution", but since you brother Iso is in this, you decided to pay a visit and try to get him lynched, for the sake of the good old times. That is, once you are done with your antics and get serious.
You have the following abilities:
Whims of the randomlolguy (passive): At the beginning of each night, you will be able to use one of these abilities selected at random.
I feel like tracking: Target a player. You will keep your eye on them and will find out who they targeted tonight.
I'll be watching you: Target a player. You will keep your eye on them and will see everyone who targeted them tonight.
Getting serious for once (burnout): Target a player. You will stop fooling around and will both see who they targeted and who targeted them tonight.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.

Soon after, they were followed by the man with the moustache.
Welcome to the game, Anaklusmos! Your role is the following:
tomsloger (Town)
"I have no idea what the other ******* part even means or is about. It's cryptic and I'm not playing fill in the god damn blank to figure out what he means."
Guess who it is! It's tomsloger! You love attention and fun, more than anything else. You don't play mafia in order to catch scum, you play mafia to have fun. Catching mafia and winning the games are subsidiary for you, because as long as you are having a blast, nothing else really matters. You should probably take this game bit more seriously and try to catch the scum, but it remains to be seen whether that will actually happen or not...
You have the following abilities:
Man of many personalities (passive): During each night (starting Night 0), you must choose one of the following posting restrictions you have not already chosen (voting, unvoting and asking questions from mod (@mod:) are excempt from this posting restriction):
Speak like a robot
Make all your posts rhyme
Use only MTG flavour texts in your posts
Post only gifs
Roleplay a spider
Man of Ostentatiousness: Target another player at night. You will dazzle them and catch their attention, causing them to forget to submit their night action and respectively causing their ability to fail tonight. You can only activate this ability if you abided your post restriction during the previous day.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Please confirm via PM (and remember to choose your posting restriction for Day 1)
Not a long after, the third person decided the join the party:
Welcome to the game, Cyan! Your role is the following:
Newcomb (Town)
"Super convenient that your N2 result was known information and that you also conveniently have an extra life on top of all of the power that the town already has. -- Not even remotely buying all of this. Please die."
You are Newcomb, also known as NotVoxxicus, one of the newer players to the site. Besides trolling Voxxicus with your previous user name, you are also known for your ability to change your claim as you see for the situation. Too bad that you are actually town this time and you can't lie about your claim and you need to actually catch the scum...
You have the following abilities:
I just had these results: Target another player. At the beginning of the next night you will be remember your watcher results from the previous night you totally had all along.
Oh right, I'm bulletproof too (burnout, passive): If you were to die due to any other reason than a lynch, you will magically become bulletproof just when it's needed. When this ability activates, you conveniently forget any results you'd get tonight or the following nights.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Please confirm via PM
With them came the person number four:
Welcome to the game, Killjoy! Your role is the following:
~tilde~ (Town)
"Vote [insert name here]"
You are ~tilde~, nowadays known as YuffieK. You haven't been playing in MTGS for a long while, but the rumours of revolution piqued your interest and brought you back. As Points and Hats Mafia taught you, the best way to kill people is by voting them. The more votes, the better. Thankfully, you still that same old trick up your sleeve: lynching people by voting them. Multiple times. Until they die.
You have the following abilities:
Vote Vote Vote (burnout, day): Vote target player ten times. Lynching a player this way does not end the day and will reset the votecount.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Out of the last two remaining people, second to last too decided to join the party. Better late than never.
Welcome to the game, D_V! Your role is the following:
Huntzilla (Town)
"When 90% of the game are in for a Hunt lynch, we need to stop and reconsider."
You are one of the newer players, known for your distinctive playstyle: getting lynched Day 1. You've been horribly mislynched several times as town, courtesy of Iso and the ilk. Now's your chance at payback, lynching all those horrible people who have pushed your mislynches during these past years!
You don't have any abilities.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.

Only one person didn't show up for the celebration.
"Screw this party, I need to ask someone to help me with my homework" said the last person and turned around to head home.
Welcome to the game, Azrael! Your role is the following:

Prophylaxis (Town)
"I HATE ENDGAMING
I HATE ENDGAMING
I HATE ENDGAMING"
You are one of the regulars on the MTGS Mafia subforum, who has been hanging around the site since 2012. Instead of the Mayan doomsday, this site got you. You are known for hating endgames, having a bad streak during your first year here, hating endgames, never drawing power roles and (did I mention?) HATING ENDGAMING. It seems like it's better to use all those skills you've learned along these years to avoid that endgame you hate so much, since you don't have any special abilities.
You don't have any abilities.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.

And then, when the party was finally manic, something truly surprising happened. The doors swinged open and Zionite walked into the room.
"Hi guys, sorry I'm late from the Mafia Council meeti... Hey, wait! What has happened here?" said Zionite in confusion
Everyone else looked at each other and they started to explain everything that had happened during the last few days to Zionite, who listened very carefully...
After the long explanation, Zionite stayed quite for a while, until they finally let out the words: "Sooo, this means I am the new Mafia Council... This went better than I had expected..."
And then, as a only member left of the original Mafia Council, Zionite took over the control of MTGS Mafia subforum and reigned there as a supreme leader and everyone (except those who were dead) lived happily ever after!
Revolution Mafia has ended in Town Victory. Thank you for playing, everyone!

Welcome to the game, tomsloger! Your role is the following:
Iso (Mafia)
"**** you I'm Iso"
You are the most famous mafia player on the MTGS Mafia subforum. You can catch the whole mafia team in ~100 posts as town, you can manipulate the town endlessly as scum; your deeds are famous, amazing, and well known. Now that these people have risen against you and your mafia council, it's time to show them once again who exactly rules over whom here.
You have the following abilities:
Mafia Council (factional, passive): Discuss your plans to thwart the rebels plans here.
Sniffing the breadcrumbs: Target a player at night. You will analyze their posts and spot their breadcrumbs, and thus be able to figure out the exact kind of role they have. You're Iso, after all - you're a master at figuring out who the powers roles are as scum.
Let 'em taste Isonoia (burnout): Once per game, target a player. When that player dies, paranoia will spread as their role nor their rolename won't be revealed as long as you are alive.
You win when the Mafia Council has gotten rid of its opposers

Azrael (Mafia)
"If you disagree, feel free to dive into the gigantic word-wall and we can make everyone's eyes bleed, the way that God intended mafia to be played."
You are the most ancient and revered member of the Mafia Council - even speaking your name can make the meek tremble in fear. Your words can drive the weak into madness, and even the strongest ones are helpless against your walls of text. Just a single remark about someone else's grammar mistakes is enough to break them. You don't need any fancy abilities or skills, since you can just speak your way out of any trouble. It has worked previously. It will work now.
You have the following abilities:
Mafia Council (factional, passive): Discuss your plans to thwart the rebels plans here.
Break them by Talking: Target another player. You will create a chat for the two of you that you can use to spread discord and lies. This chat only lasts for a day.

Once you have made up your mind on someone being scum, you will not let go of them until they are dead, for better or worse.

It's time for you to help town to carry on and catch all those evil mafia before the game starts dragging and people start getting tired.
You have the following abilities:
Restoring the motivation (burnout): Target a player. You will take away all their stress and fatigue, causing them to recover from their burnout.

It's not so much what I AM posting most of the time (though sometimes that can seem bad) but what I'm NOT posting. I've been told I come to non-obvious conclusions a lot, so when I post, quite a bit of the time there's jumps in logic that people can't follow and they think that's scummy. I get that accusation about a lot of questions I ask specifically. People call them "busy work" when the questions are legit etc.
As far as things to ignore, I can't think of anything. I would suggest you focus less on what I'm doing and more on how I'm doing it. That's probably more likely to be accurate. Like I've just said, what I do tends to come off a little weird, but if you look for how I do it, mindset comes into play and maybe you figure out something useful.
Yup, that's awesome. I had this whole post prepared for the event of a ninja, but figured it would be better to post it if Grape flipped town tomorrow for fear of derailing the lynch chain off of GF

Grape had me. But the evidence of people claiming just made it defacto him. A good attempt grape.
Edit:
Now that we are out of the game as well Azreal what in the world were you scum reading me on? It was my main reason for going after you in the end it just made no sense. Also Tom semi goaded me at the beginning.
Also in what world do I snap vote Tom at the end of day one as scum when I could simply let it time out and make it take another day to lynch him.
Yes, without night actions I'm pretty sure DV gets lynched here, and if he pushed Az's lynch without my track clear, then he definitely would have gone down.
I was in a bad spot IRL and couldn't commit to the game. Sorry I replaced out, everyone - especially to my teammates. I wanted to go out with a bang in my last game for some time, but I just couldn't make it happen.
Bur, the flavor and abilities are hilarious. Especially Newcomb's. Well done.

I was reading you as town on tone initially, but as time went on, it just started to seem like perhaps your reads were a bit larger than life and all-too-often anti-town simultaneously. Started getting worried you were just hamming it up real hard as scum. Yay for night actions for the save.
Good game all, that was interesting to say the least. As someone who struggles to keep up with posts normally, having a PR was difficult. At first, fun, but then it got old. I started to enjoy it and get better, but I tried.
@Cyan Sorry if I didn't play the game you wanted, I tried the best given my situation.
Thanks everyone, especially But for hosting a great game!
Thanks for hosting Bur, it was a really fun game. GG town you guys played it well and apart from the random fast lynch on Cantrip did everything very deliberately and carefully. I was very impressed.
As for my play that game, first off thanks for the compliments it definitely wasn't the easiest slot to replace into. As for my play I decided to just try and get inside the town block by "clearing people" Anak for the flavor play, KJ because that would be OP as scum, Az for the bus, that sort of thing. It worked reasonably well till all the claims came in and really painted me into a corner. The Kpaca kill raised some eyebrows, but my reasoning was just to eliminate a near conf-town slot that had no hope of being protected. If I'd read the game better I think I could have landed on a better NK and actually done some PR hunting which might have given me a chance. Ahhh well, was probably dead no matter how I played it, but it was fun to try.
Also hope my post where I thought Cyan had lynched me didn't cross any bad sportsmanship lines. I sent it without thinking and then realized that it could be a bit distasteful. I was trying to just mimic the sort of post I make when I get mislynched, but that's not exactly kosher so I'll try not to do it again.

Anyway thanks for the game and well played town!
Meh, all's fair in scum and war, I think you "realized" too quickly. I actually might have unvoted if I hadn't committed to being more strong in my reads this game.
First off, Bur, I loved the setup, especially the roles.
@Anak: You played your restriction fantastically. That was awesome. @Azrael: I feel like some of the suspicion on you was from your high level of proactivity. You're a recognizably very good player, though. @Cantrip: I'm sorry. Also, the V/LA a lot was convenient and walls early on were part of roleplaying you. Not sure how well that worked. @D_V: Maybe we can interact better next time. Avalon wasn't nearly this bad, not sure what exactly irked me so much about you here. @Grapefruit: You did a very good job at replacing into a slot that people were pretty much automatically keeping near the scum end of their reads. I also want to give props to you on that. @Killjoy: I kept on leaning scum on you because of your reads seeming strange at times. That was my bad. @kpaca: Your playstyle amuses me. @shadow: Well, we didn't tunnel each other this time. Though I was considering you as possible scum towards the end and here and there earlier just like everyone else. I'm still not sure why you were flailing in the midgame. @Silver: You should /in on Horsemen...
I'm still developing a game plan in general, early game or not, so while I probably looked somewhat scummy early on in this game (and I know that also happened in Avalon), that may not always be the case. I am still shying away from meta reads in general, though there are some people for whom that may change over time.
Could the last scum be a ninja?
@Shadow why would you watch Az N2? You've been saying the ability was chosen at random, wouldn't the risk of it being track again be a massive worry for you? Your actions are still not quite making sense to me.
I could be argued either way.
Which I feel really bad about if Shadow is town, because that means I created doubt where I didn't need to. :/ But I'm conflicted. Even though my investigation is weak, it's still hard to see the town having 'random tracker/watcher' and my role.
But it's like, Shadow tracking Az N1 makes perfect sense as town, as does him then watching Az if he knew Az was clear. Plus breadcrumbs etc. For him to be lying, it would mean that he was originally planning on just claiming Tracker, but modified it today when it became clear that he would have to keep clearing people. And that is some really impressive on the fly thinking.
Blah I don't know what to do.
Well that makes a lot more sense then...
I guess I need to reread KJ and Anak? I mean it could still be a fake claim, but it seems to line up pretty well.
Claimed here, I'm Cythare VT.
Despite mechanics looking pretty dodgy here, I'm still never lynching cyan, because if Anak is town, then he's cleared him, and if Anak is scum, then cyan can't be anyway.
Was that ever a question? D_V is clear too.
*Nods large head towards Cyan*
*Starts...laughing? Spiders can laugh. Who knew?*
*Climbs down from web-swing, and stalks towards GF*
Vote Grapefruit
Anyway when I flip town don't waste time worrying about DV, Cyan, or Az. After rereading KJ still feels town because that Burnout seems really powerful as scum. Anak either has been faking a flavor claim better than I've ever seen or Shadow's claim was thought out really well in advance. I can't decide which one of those three is most likely to be scum. Leaning towards KJ at the moment, but I don't have confidence in that read.
grapefrui21 (3) - shadowlancerx, Cyan, D_V
Not Voting (4): Azrael, Grapefruit21, Anaklusmos, Killjoy
With 7 alive, it's 4 to lynch.
I still think it's Anak or Az. But GF is too big of a question mark to ignore, plus Iso replaced out etc.
So, here's hoping we win? Vote Grapefruit
Grapefruit21 (4) - shadowlancerx, Cyan, D_V, Killjoy
Not Voting (3): Azrael, Grapefruit21, Anaklusmos
Grapefruit21 has been lynched! Please stand by for the lynch scene.
After the second murder, people started how these murders had no comprehensible logic behind them. The targets made no sense, just like how they had been murdered.
Quite soon after the morning had begun, people decided to share all the information they had: who they were and what they knew. The guy with the moustache who had been acting weird all day started pointing at people while doing dramatic poses. Another person who had been spouting weird stuff the whole time started shouting names of other people.
Both of them claimed to have known that none of the people they had pointed to could've killed anyone, drawing attention to the one remaining person.
The remaining person, who was sharply dressed and an intelligent looking man. They had stayed quiet all the time, barely uttered any words during the whole revolution.
Soon, all the eyes were on this sharply dressed individual. Still no words from them. The moment seemed to last an eternity, until one of the people came from behind and stabbed the sharply dressed individual into the back. They slumped down, and only then they spoke for the first and last time:
"This is not the end. Mafia Council rise again, ready to take the revenge on you..."
Grapefruit21 has been lynched. They were:
Sir Chris (Mafia)
"If Sir Chris is scum, I think town is screwed"
You are the fresh new blood brought onto the Mafia Council, after Ecophagy started opposing Azrael and Iso. Now, the only problem between this current situation and UNLIMITED POWER is those rebels. Thankfully, you are a natural-born deceiver, being able to manipulate people and what they believe. You could probably kill someone in broad daylight and convince the others that it wasn't you. Now it's time for you to use your abilities and clear all the obstacles standing in front of you...
You have the following abilities:
Mafia Council (factional, passive): Discuss your plans to thwart the rebels plans here.
Falsifying Information (passive): Choose one of the following abilities Night 1. You will gain that ability and will lose the other one for the rest of the game:
You win when there are no more people rebelling against the Mafia Council.
After it dawned on people that the Mafia Council was down and that their revolution had succeeded, people started to truly celebrate.
First one the grab the bottle was whimsical person with a red hair.
Seppel (Town)
"The actions you have performed do not align with my pre-conceived notions of optimal actions to execute within this game of forum-based Mafia."
You are Seppel, the player (in)famous for the randomness of their actions. There is no way of guessing what your next move will be or when it will happen. You just do things for your own amusement, just to get reactions out of people and see their faces when you do something incredibly weird. To be honest, you are not really interested in this "revolution", but since you brother Iso is in this, you decided to pay a visit and try to get him lynched, for the sake of the good old times. That is, once you are done with your antics and get serious.
You have the following abilities:
Whims of the randomlolguy (passive): At the beginning of each night, you will be able to use one of these abilities selected at random.
Getting serious for once (burnout): Target a player. You will stop fooling around and will both see who they targeted and who targeted them tonight.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Please confirm via PM
Soon after, they were followed by the man with the moustache.
tomsloger (Town)
"I have no idea what the other ******* part even means or is about. It's cryptic and I'm not playing fill in the god damn blank to figure out what he means."
Guess who it is! It's tomsloger! You love attention and fun, more than anything else. You don't play mafia in order to catch scum, you play mafia to have fun. Catching mafia and winning the games are subsidiary for you, because as long as you are having a blast, nothing else really matters. You should probably take this game bit more seriously and try to catch the scum, but it remains to be seen whether that will actually happen or not...
You have the following abilities:
Man of many personalities (passive): During each night (starting Night 0), you must choose one of the following posting restrictions you have not already chosen (voting, unvoting and asking questions from mod (@mod:) are excempt from this posting restriction):
Man of Ostentatiousness: Target another player at night. You will dazzle them and catch their attention, causing them to forget to submit their night action and respectively causing their ability to fail tonight. You can only activate this ability if you abided your post restriction during the previous day.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Please confirm via PM (and remember to choose your posting restriction for Day 1)
Not a long after, the third person decided the join the party:
Newcomb (Town)
"Super convenient that your N2 result was known information and that you also conveniently have an extra life on top of all of the power that the town already has. -- Not even remotely buying all of this. Please die."
You are Newcomb, also known as NotVoxxicus, one of the newer players to the site. Besides trolling Voxxicus with your previous user name, you are also known for your ability to change your claim as you see for the situation. Too bad that you are actually town this time and you can't lie about your claim and you need to actually catch the scum...
You have the following abilities:
I just had these results: Target another player. At the beginning of the next night you will be remember your watcher results from the previous night you totally had all along.
Oh right, I'm bulletproof too (burnout, passive): If you were to die due to any other reason than a lynch, you will magically become bulletproof just when it's needed. When this ability activates, you conveniently forget any results you'd get tonight or the following nights.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Please confirm via PM
With them came the person number four:
~tilde~ (Town)
"Vote [insert name here]"
You are ~tilde~, nowadays known as YuffieK. You haven't been playing in MTGS for a long while, but the rumours of revolution piqued your interest and brought you back. As Points and Hats Mafia taught you, the best way to kill people is by voting them. The more votes, the better. Thankfully, you still that same old trick up your sleeve: lynching people by voting them. Multiple times. Until they die.
You have the following abilities:
Vote Vote Vote (burnout, day): Vote target player ten times. Lynching a player this way does not end the day and will reset the votecount.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Out of the last two remaining people, second to last too decided to join the party. Better late than never.
Huntzilla (Town)
"When 90% of the game are in for a Hunt lynch, we need to stop and reconsider."
You are one of the newer players, known for your distinctive playstyle: getting lynched Day 1. You've been horribly mislynched several times as town, courtesy of Iso and the ilk. Now's your chance at payback, lynching all those horrible people who have pushed your mislynches during these past years!
You don't have any abilities.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Please confirm via PM
Only one person didn't show up for the celebration.
"Screw this party, I need to ask someone to help me with my homework" said the last person and turned around to head home.
Prophylaxis (Town)
Prophylaxis (Town)
"I HATE ENDGAMING
I HATE ENDGAMING
I HATE ENDGAMING"
You are one of the regulars on the MTGS Mafia subforum, who has been hanging around the site since 2012. Instead of the Mayan doomsday, this site got you. You are known for hating endgames, having a bad streak during your first year here, hating endgames, never drawing power roles and (did I mention?) HATING ENDGAMING. It seems like it's better to use all those skills you've learned along these years to avoid that endgame you hate so much, since you don't have any special abilities.
You don't have any abilities.
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.
Please confirm via PM
And then, when the party was finally manic, something truly surprising happened. The doors swinged open and Zionite walked into the room.
"Hi guys, sorry I'm late from the Mafia Council meeti... Hey, wait! What has happened here?" said Zionite in confusion
Everyone else looked at each other and they started to explain everything that had happened during the last few days to Zionite, who listened very carefully...
After the long explanation, Zionite stayed quite for a while, until they finally let out the words: "Sooo, this means I am the new Mafia Council... This went better than I had expected..."
And then, as a only member left of the original Mafia Council, Zionite took over the control of MTGS Mafia subforum and reigned there as a supreme leader and everyone (except those who were dead) lived happily ever after!
Revolution Mafia has ended in Town Victory. Thank you for playing, everyone!
Ecophagy's Tea Party: https://www.quicktopic.com/52/H/KYp2ZszbysaaK
All roles:
Iso (Mafia)
"**** you I'm Iso"
You are the most famous mafia player on the MTGS Mafia subforum. You can catch the whole mafia team in ~100 posts as town, you can manipulate the town endlessly as scum; your deeds are famous, amazing, and well known. Now that these people have risen against you and your mafia council, it's time to show them once again who exactly rules over whom here.
You have the following abilities:
Mafia Council (factional, passive): Discuss your plans to thwart the rebels plans here.
Sniffing the breadcrumbs: Target a player at night. You will analyze their posts and spot their breadcrumbs, and thus be able to figure out the exact kind of role they have. You're Iso, after all - you're a master at figuring out who the powers roles are as scum.
Let 'em taste Isonoia (burnout): Once per game, target a player. When that player dies, paranoia will spread as their role nor their rolename won't be revealed as long as you are alive.
You win when the Mafia Council has gotten rid of its opposers
Sir Chris (Mafia)
"If Sir Chris is scum, I think town is screwed"
You are the fresh new blood brought onto the Mafia Council, after Ecophagy started opposing Azrael and Iso. Now, the only problem between this current situation and UNLIMITED POWER is those rebels. Thankfully, you are a natural-born deceiver, being able to manipulate people and what they believe. You could probably kill someone in broad daylight and convince the others that it wasn't you.

Falsifying Information (passive): Choose one of the following abilities Night 1. You will gain that ability and will lose the other one for the rest of the game:
You win when there are no more people rebelling against the Mafia Council.
Azrael (Mafia)
"If you disagree, feel free to dive into the gigantic word-wall and we can make everyone's eyes bleed, the way that God intended mafia to be played."
You are the most ancient and revered member of the Mafia Council - even speaking your name can make the meek tremble in fear. Your words can drive the weak into madness, and even the strongest ones are helpless against your walls of text. Just a single remark about someone else's grammar mistakes is enough to break them. You don't need any fancy abilities or skills, since you can just speak your way out of any trouble. It has worked previously. It will work now.
You have the following abilities:
Mafia Council (factional, passive): Discuss your plans to thwart the rebels plans here.
Break them by Talking: Target another player. You will create a chat for the two of you that you can use to spread discord and lies. This chat only lasts for a day.
Gift of the Grammar Nazi (burnout): Target another player to give them the following ability:
Unbeknownst to them, this ability will have no effect when activated.
You win when Mafia Council has restored its glory and no one will dare to oppose you ever again.

You are the Cyan, the man known as "The Train With No Brakes" and for a good reason. Once you have made up your mind on someone being scum, you will not let go of them until they are dead, for better or worse. Too bad that tunneling endlessly is not a ability that will let you uncover scum more easily, so you will need to trust your instincts and crush all the suspicious people.

Cantrip: "It's not MY fault that my scum game looks the same as my town game. (It's totally my fault.)"
Cool and calculative. Scarily good as scum and a genius set-up designer. All of those skills will hopefully prove to be of some use, since the situation is really severe. Hopefully you can gain each other's trust in this game and lead the town to victory!
You don't have any abilities.

Vaimes (Town)
"eh. as a community were sort of dicks to everyone. except vaimes. Love is in the air"
One of the nicest people in MTGS Mafia sub-forum. Yup, that's you. No matter how badly people are suffering from mafia burn-out, just being with you can remove all the symptoms of burn-out from them and make them want to play mafia once again! It's time for you to help town to carry on and catch all those evil mafia before the game starts dragging and people start getting tired.
You have the following abilities:
Restoring the motivation (burnout): Target a player. You will take away all their stress and fatigue, causing them to recover from their burnout. If they had already activated their burnout ability, they can activate it once more. (This will not cause them to restore any other abilities they might have had.)
You win when there is no more Mafia Council.

There were just too many town.
Edit:
Now that we are out of the game as well Azreal what in the world were you scum reading me on? It was my main reason for going after you in the end it just made no sense. Also Tom semi goaded me at the beginning.
Also in what world do I snap vote Tom at the end of day one as scum when I could simply let it time out and make it take another day to lynch him.
GG town, Grape was in a really tough spot. I sort of hoped it wasn't that easy, but I guess sometimes it is.
FYI, you should probably /in to a game soon, I'm within 10 posts of you
I was in a bad spot IRL and couldn't commit to the game. Sorry I replaced out, everyone - especially to my teammates. I wanted to go out with a bang in my last game for some time, but I just couldn't make it happen.
Bur, the flavor and abilities are hilarious. Especially Newcomb's. Well done.

I was reading you as town on tone initially, but as time went on, it just started to seem like perhaps your reads were a bit larger than life and all-too-often anti-town simultaneously. Started getting worried you were just hamming it up real hard as scum. Yay for night actions for the save.
@Cyan Sorry if I didn't play the game you wanted, I tried the best given my situation.
Thanks everyone, especially But for hosting a great game!
As for my play that game, first off thanks for the compliments it definitely wasn't the easiest slot to replace into. As for my play I decided to just try and get inside the town block by "clearing people" Anak for the flavor play, KJ because that would be OP as scum, Az for the bus, that sort of thing. It worked reasonably well till all the claims came in and really painted me into a corner. The Kpaca kill raised some eyebrows, but my reasoning was just to eliminate a near conf-town slot that had no hope of being protected. If I'd read the game better I think I could have landed on a better NK and actually done some PR hunting which might have given me a chance. Ahhh well, was probably dead no matter how I played it, but it was fun to try.
Also hope my post where I thought Cyan had lynched me didn't cross any bad sportsmanship lines. I sent it without thinking and then realized that it could be a bit distasteful. I was trying to just mimic the sort of post I make when I get mislynched, but that's not exactly kosher so I'll try not to do it again.
Anyway thanks for the game and well played town!
First off, Bur, I loved the setup, especially the roles.
@Anak: You played your restriction fantastically. That was awesome.
@Azrael: I feel like some of the suspicion on you was from your high level of proactivity. You're a recognizably very good player, though.
@Cantrip: I'm sorry. Also, the V/LA a lot was convenient and walls early on were part of roleplaying you. Not sure how well that worked.
@D_V: Maybe we can interact better next time. Avalon wasn't nearly this bad, not sure what exactly irked me so much about you here.
@Grapefruit: You did a very good job at replacing into a slot that people were pretty much automatically keeping near the scum end of their reads. I also want to give props to you on that.
@Killjoy: I kept on leaning scum on you because of your reads seeming strange at times. That was my bad.
@kpaca: Your playstyle amuses me.
@shadow: Well, we didn't tunnel each other this time. Though I was considering you as possible scum towards the end and here and there earlier just like everyone else. I'm still not sure why you were flailing in the midgame.
@Silver: You should /in on Horsemen...
I'm still developing a game plan in general, early game or not, so while I probably looked somewhat scummy early on in this game (and I know that also happened in Avalon), that may not always be the case. I am still shying away from meta reads in general, though there are some people for whom that may change over time.
This was a good game. Thanks, all.
