I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
I was just watching "The GRINCH" and this quote reminded me of a memorable moment in a game yet to come: "And he puzzled, and puzzled, till his puzzler was sore"

or playing TSP mini, I'm trisk. and we're at loyl. I claim, they want me to use my ability...it was my first game on IRC, so I was a bit confused...Maz votes me, and CPE's about to hammer, but I end up sarnath'ing him with my ability, killing CPE the SK. talk about lucky shots...

Just got to add a moment from SoIaF mafia here: the endgame, where the town was basically saying:
"Bigtime has to be lying, but he can't cuz then goat would be lying. Wait, Goat has to be lying, but he can't cuz bigtime would be lying!"
Of course....they were both lying. lol.

Hmm, I forgot to mention any of these things before now, but MTGS Mafia Redux was certainly a memorable game for me on account of the infamous smilie gambit. As mafia I managed to convince the town I had a PR of only posting in smilies.
I elaborated on that claim by saying it was part of the activation cost of my ability to double-vote players if I could point out inaccuracies in their grammar (an ability I actually possessed, provided that I hadn't performed the kill that night). When I was attacked the day after I had performed the kill, I managed to divert the attack and explain my inability to double-vote that day by finally posting in text, and inventing the false claim that I could choose between posting text or double-voting.
The mafia also managed to frame Bateleur, Dracula, for the actions of a dead player with a mind-control MO, in order to push home the final lynch.
Another memorable moment was from the ancient past of MTGS mafia, the first blind game we ran on the site. The entire mafia was routed by day two and conceded after we pinpointed each of their members due to a successful gambit. The setup was basic cop/doc vanilla structure as well: the game was won purely through behavioral analysis.
Hvirfilvindr's creation of a role that could gain a vote every time it posted on a post # that was a multiple of 40 also led to some very amusing interactions, and a great deal of spam. That was in World Dom 2.
Last of all, I suppose that Grak's incursion into 1001 nights mafia ought to be mentioned for posterity as one of the more infamous and humorous episodes in the site's mythos. After being pinpointed as scum, he was so annoyed by what he felt were poor arguments against him that he replaced out of the game, leaving us these immortal gems, among others:
Quote from Grakthis »
Bad logic? Seriously? Az, how many times does my logic have to be right before people like you start going "well, I disagree with Grak... but he's been right a lot, so maybe I'll give his wacky line of thinking the benefit of the doubt."
Seriously. There shoudl be a line where you say "Ok, I don't understand why Grak is right... but he keeps being right... soooooooo...."
Quote from Grakthis »
Yeah, you don't understand mafia. It's a shame. Hopefully, someday you will.
Quote from Grakthis »
Good. Lord.
I am so done with mafia on this site. You people are too stupid to be dealt with. I feel like I am repeatedly ramming my head into a wall.
Quote from Grakthis »
Man... you totally nailed me there. I didnt' respond to a vague accusation that had no support, no quotes, no links and absolutly nothing backing it up.
I should try that plan with you. Az, you **** sheep. respond.
Quote from Grakthis »
Calm down, yo. It's mafia, it's not personal.
Lastly, Arimnaes compiled a fair number of the site's most amusing quotes in MTGS Mafia Redux, which I've C & Ped below.

In a city such as ours, luck plays a major part in differentiating the winners from the losers.

I seriously never want to see a role PM with that much in it again.

Alright, so let's have everyone split into 2 groups. We'll have "likely to be a power role" and "not likely to be a power role." All of us will claim so the mafia will have a very easy time deciding who they should kill first, and there will still be enough choices that they'll have a pretty easy time avoiding any protection roles we've got. Meanwhile, the scum will be able to start setting up false claims with ease, so it will be much harder to catch them in the late game.
Sound good?

Quote from Bateleur »
I keep my money in the bank and now they're telling me I withdrew $50000 yesterday that I most certainly did not. Of course I complained to the manager, but he said that his only recourse was to hand the matter over to the police.

I can watch people's bank accounts. I happen to watch Bateleur's last night. Guess what, there was absolutly no movement on his account. Nothing in, nothing out.

Of course Az, if you're talking about your past success, you can't forget your vigging of the doc (Jobie) in random 2, right after you had lynched the player who falseclaimed....doc. They were both claimed too.
Also, Me being mafia 8x in a row and 11 out of 12 games at one point was utterly rediculous.

Ummm, Magic Mafia. 6 players left, MMoD is the last mafia remaining. Chamber is a town player with a pretty crappy remaining ability, and MMoD is being heavily wagoned.
Before MMoD can claim, Chamber claims masons with MMoD, and MMoD, being screwed otherwise goes along. Town lynches chamber, and he comes up town. So the town thinks MMoD is clear, lynches another townie (capped off by MMoD slowplaying the hammer ftw) to lose the game for the town.
Worst....gambit...ever.

Ok. I bow to Hvir's psychotic role creation ability. If Az really does have 3 votes, this could get dangerous.
FOS everyone who is willing to say Az is cleared so easily Bad Townies! The only thing that makes a person cleared is claiming a standard townie role and *not* getting counter-claimed. And even THAT isn't foolproof.
Quote from Bateleur »
Any theory anyone advances has to somehow explain why he's not choosing to explain all the details but is choosing to draw attention. This is why I like the theory that musashi's post was some kind of trigger for his second vote. Us talking about him seems to help him in some way

Fine. Every person from this point forward should mention Azrael at least once in their post. Like so
Azrael makes good pound cake.

Also is anyone else concerned about the amount of power that Az has been able to start seizing? I for one am getting at least a little nervous just on the off chance he may be scummy and we aren't doing anything about it????

Whether Corporal Cupcake is town or not, 3 votes are enough for anyone. I don't trust him that much. He may not be mafia, but he may be alternate win condition. He may even really be an SK.
DO NOT keep saying his name.
DO NOT let him get posts with multiples of 40 (it probably is a red herring, but who knows?).
He's totally attention-seeking, and succeeding.
Ignore him for the rest of the day, and we'll see what happens hmm?
And DO NOT say his name. Would I be right to say you gain power from people saying your name, Duke Dingdong?

OK, anyway, it seems like Electric Boogaloo got a twist on my fake claim from High School, but in reverse. If the day lasts long enough for him to get enough votes, he votes no lynch and we all lose.
Unless First Mate Forehead provides a reason that he's using the power for good and not for evil, then for safety I think he should be out.
He's clearly allowed at least to some extent to make sense if he wants to, posting restriction is no excuse.

The amazing thing was when Chamber didn't come up as a mason after being lynched and only one person questioned it. MMoD just replied with "I don't know, we're masons together" and the issue was never mentioned again.
That was one of the best lynches I ever managed to pull off as scum, you know. I paid for it, but there was no way in heck that the scum were going to win with that role on Az. I was really thrilled with how that turned out.
What?! Look at the initial post; he is dead. Deceased. Kaputt. Indefinitely horizontal. In mafia games, you see, people are occasionally "killed off," and when that sad event occurs, he or she is no longer allowed to post, on account of rigor mortis and what-have-you.
'Welcome to Mafia Salvation', it said, 'Population: 3,660.' And someone, they never figured out who, had painted on the sign in red letters: '1,831 to lynch.'
Mostly because I was the facilitator of the scene, but I always get a kick out of how DYH (playing through the mod) kept trolling Cyan in Blood Moon Mafia.
If we are going to bring up 1001N memorable moments, then the final day certainly warrants a mention in this thread (and i am surprised it didn't get necro'd for that).
I don't think there were any quotes from High School Mafia in that parade from arim, which is a shame. The SK being shuffled into his own delayed kill was particularly fabulous and led to an awesome quote from someone which I can't remember off the top of my head, it's killing me. Also wouldn't have minded seeing some quotes from the grand collapse of random 1. Now THAT was funny

Quote from CropCircles »
Oh I'm holding you accountable, WoLG. Just because you vigged two townies and got yourself lynched, I became gay, contracted an STD, and then became a ****.
Random 1 has been my favorite game so far. The old, "Look I'm a fan! Really!"
Puzzle: *pokes JCsuperstar* "Whose yer leader?"
Wolfy: "I could tell you...but I won't!"
Town: *makes a noose*
Wolfy: IT'S DRAGYN!
Dragyn: Die you cult bastards...
chamber:
Scum: MoT!! SHOOT KENJI!!!
Town: KENJI!! LYNCH CHAMBER!!!
Timebomb: *tick tick tick tick tick*
...
MoT:...its a dud
GG
To everyone that wasn't in/didn't read Random 1: It makes sense, just trust me on this.
And then there was Blind 2, where I told Unsan I was going to kill Wolfy with a blender, so he wrote an elaborate night scene in which I did just that. :tongue2:
Ah yes, and there was Dominaria Mafia, where we all had 2 roles, and armlx managed to false claim both of mine.

Nah, it can't possibly sum up random 1 without mentioning Az's attempt to unite the cult and the mafia in the ultimate Mutually Assured Destruction pact, or without mentioning the dread Simon Cowell by name
Random 1 was such a disaster from a design standpoint. I'm actually lucky it ended as flamboyantly as it did, I think, otherwise I would have made even more moderating mistakes than I had already, and it would have died a miserable, mutated death. It was a heck of a lot of fun, though. But the most fun I had in a game was probably writing the scenes for Douglas Adams Mafia.

This happened on irc mafia, but whatever.
It was 4 person momir. The night before, I had turned into a townie recruiter. The next night, I target demonspork, who is a mirror, with my ability. One of the townies dies, I become a sk, and the mafia win.
That was weird.
But the most fun I had in a game was
probably writing the scenes for Douglas Adams Mafia.
I remember this one time, where I was a vanilla mason who had the ability to give his mason partner abilities, and his mason partner was scum. Wasn't that hilarious?!?!

Jobie could nighttalk with a player. He was told that if he claimed to have any of 3 particular abilities in thread, that player would gain any abilities that he claimed. He was not told the other player was confirmed town.
So Jobie claims all 3 abilities on day 1, making a super powered mafioso, and the mafia kills him quickly.

The below is taken from a PM I sent to carrion pigeons while helping him with that game.
Quote from CropCircles »
Masons: Wonko and Dirk are interesting, but they seem over powered. Between Marvin, Tricia, and Prak, there are a lot of investigation abilities floating around, though they are all limited. If Wonko and Dirk pick Cop, I doubt the mafia will have much place left to hide.
I'm not sure of the flavor between the 2, but what if there was some kind of manipulation? Like, we make one a townie and the other either Nuetral or Mafia. Then have it so the Townie decides what there ability is, so the other has to try and convince his partner to choose the ability that would help him the most, while making it look like he's trying to help the town. Something like that, anyway.
The mod would like to remind participants that the Colosseum is 5 miles south. This is an insane asylum containing crazy people who want to kill you. Please include at least some game-related content in your posts.
Heh. Looking back, it's not only an entertaining read, but a rather short one by MTGS standards. It logged in at under 1000 posts.
Of course *you* enjoyed it, you were the SK that, while able to use the "Fake Daykill Gambit" that seems to have become an MTGS mafia meme, actually made the kill and caused so much chaos that you weren't lynched on the spot.

If you're talking to me, I have no idea what you're talking about. I was a vig in that game, and I vigged irresponsibly because I felt like it and could use roleplaying as an excuse.
You'd know that face anywhere. A wicked grin stretches across his face.
"It's time." he says, retrieving his blade from the chair.
With one quick motion, Fadeblue, Shelke, the Transparent - Scribe/Cop has lost her head.
"Did you think I was done?" he snarls.
Chaotic cries rise from the group.
Zionite is the next to perish, her head also cleanly removed from her body. Zionite, Aerith Gainsborough, Flower Girl, Mafia Ally is dead. A white materia falls from her hands and shatters on the ground.
Sephiroth seems quite pleased with himself, but the twisted killer is not yet done.
Sheer panic has erupted.
Holding his blade in two hands, he drives it straight through RafaelK, Maleficient - Heartless Cult Leader, killing him instantly. He smiles with glee as two additional souls die as a result, bateleur, Heartless Guard Hound Keeper - Cultist and Xyre, Reno's Heartless - Cultist follow suit with their master.
The room goes dark. He is still among you, you should be afraid.
Even as the lights come back, you are still very, very afraid.
This needs to go in here for posterity (from FF7 Mafia):
For the record, I will be suing CC for using a huge part of my identity on this board (YOU! *promptly killing me*) and giving it to someone else (the people cyan killed in this game).
GRRRR.

I love Joboman, Poggy, Niv, and Vezok, because, while they may not be the best players, they still try to win. Having fun is the most important thing to a game, but I've learned that if you don't try to win, then you're ruining everyone else's fun.
Umm...CC was the one who was given the line. and DYH, being the meme-loving game mod he is, ran with it like crazy, because it's his meme. Your claim to fame is getting killed after asking people for content.
meaning if anything, CC should be suing DYH.

I just thought of one that I don't think has been mentioned before:
I replaced into Matrix mafia during night 1 as Agent Smith, Cult Leader and then recruited FadeBlue. atlseal, who was a mafia JoAT and was under heavy suspicion day 1, investigated FadeBlue and learned he was a cultist. At the beginning of day 2, atlseal stone-cold guessed I was Smith, claimed to have investigated me, and got me lynched while saving himself for a couple more days.

I elaborated on that claim by saying it was part of the activation cost of my ability to double-vote players if I could point out inaccuracies in their grammar (an ability I actually possessed, provided that I hadn't performed the kill that night). When I was attacked the day after I had performed the kill, I managed to divert the attack and explain my inability to double-vote that day by finally posting in text, and inventing the false claim that I could choose between posting text or double-voting.
The mafia also managed to frame Bateleur, Dracula, for the actions of a dead player with a mind-control MO, in order to push home the final lynch.
Another memorable moment was from the ancient past of MTGS mafia, the first blind game we ran on the site. The entire mafia was routed by day two and conceded after we pinpointed each of their members due to a successful gambit. The setup was basic cop/doc vanilla structure as well: the game was won purely through behavioral analysis.
Hvirfilvindr's creation of a role that could gain a vote every time it posted on a post # that was a multiple of 40 also led to some very amusing interactions, and a great deal of spam. That was in World Dom 2.
Last of all, I suppose that Grak's incursion into 1001 nights mafia ought to be mentioned for posterity as one of the more infamous and humorous episodes in the site's mythos. After being pinpointed as scum, he was so annoyed by what he felt were poor arguments against him that he replaced out of the game, leaving us these immortal gems, among others:
Lastly, Arimnaes compiled a fair number of the site's most amusing quotes in MTGS Mafia Redux, which I've C & Ped below.
Also Is bloody brilliant.
Of course Az, if you're talking about your past success, you can't forget your vigging of the doc (Jobie) in random 2, right after you had lynched the player who falseclaimed....doc. They were both claimed too.
Also, Me being mafia 8x in a row and 11 out of 12 games at one point was utterly rediculous.
Logical Reasoning is dead; Long Live Stupidity
True. Definitely one of my most stunning tours de force.
What was the context of that Chamber quote, BTW? That's one of the few I don't know.
@Arim-I suppose you could put it that way.
Ummm, Magic Mafia. 6 players left, MMoD is the last mafia remaining. Chamber is a town player with a pretty crappy remaining ability, and MMoD is being heavily wagoned.
Before MMoD can claim, Chamber claims masons with MMoD, and MMoD, being screwed otherwise goes along. Town lynches chamber, and he comes up town. So the town thinks MMoD is clear, lynches another townie (capped off by MMoD slowplaying the hammer ftw) to lose the game for the town.
Worst....gambit...ever.
Logical Reasoning is dead; Long Live Stupidity
Wait a sec....you were part of that town....the confirmed townie zombie token.
* loran16 hits Az on top of the skull.
Logical Reasoning is dead; Long Live Stupidity
Oh yeah...I didn't remember it being as hilarious as all that at the time, since there were questions about out-of-game collaboration. Still funny, but less so.
More memories from the first day of World Dom 2...oh man, this is stuff is high-octane hilarity, in retrospect:
Followed soon after by the original Azwolging:
The amazing thing was when Chamber didn't come up as a mason after being lynched and only one person questioned it. MMoD just replied with "I don't know, we're masons together" and the issue was never mentioned again.

I don't think there were any quotes from High School Mafia in that parade from arim, which is a shame. The SK being shuffled into his own delayed kill was particularly fabulous and led to an awesome quote from someone which I can't remember off the top of my head, it's killing me. Also wouldn't have minded seeing some quotes from the grand collapse of random 1. Now THAT was funny
Here's one of the better ones.

It was 4 person momir. The night before, I had turned into a townie recruiter. The next night, I target demonspork, who is a mirror, with my ability. One of the townies dies, I become a sk, and the mafia win.
That was weird.
I remember this one time, where I was a vanilla mason who had the ability to give his mason partner abilities, and his mason partner was scum. Wasn't that hilarious?!?!

Jobie could nighttalk with a player. He was told that if he claimed to have any of 3 particular abilities in thread, that player would gain any abilities that he claimed. He was not told the other player was confirmed town.
So Jobie claims all 3 abilities on day 1, making a super powered mafioso, and the mafia kills him quickly.
