I'm quite interested in what RafK's information was.
RafaelK had:
Quote from RafaelK"s Role PM »
You are Android #18 from Dragon Ball Z, once evil but eventually turned to help the side of good. After a bit of looking around, you know that all of Dr. Gero's androids that are out of the manga are Town.
And Infinis was:
Quote from Infinis" Role PM »
You are Android #17 from Dragon Ball Z, one of the "Bad-androids-turned-good". You know Android 18 got out of the manga and is in the game, and you know that Android 18 has a piece of information in her human brain that you just can't remember. But you can't remember who she's siding with in this conflict...
I thought it was a cute pair of roles.
@AE: If you targeted a mafia member and they targeted you, you would both die... That's pretty standard, right?
MODNOTE: If he releases his abilities, Akira and two random remaining players die.
I was expecting that the mafia would guess this to be a last-chance ability, use it when they were severely behind, and probably kill 2 town. And Shadow Knight, while I haven't seen Akira for like 6 years, I believe Akira does die. Wikipedia says that "He subsequently lost control of this power and was killed in the ensuing blast", which I assumed would warn off the player.
zindabad, you weren't a fake godfather, all information abilities would turn up town on you (and Archmage Eternal's did as well) but Light Yagami, because of his incredible intellect, would get a hint of something if he targeted you. So his investigation turned up "town, but it's weird that he has a vial of Red Eye on him".
With a final and decisive nod, Nai agrees to lynch Archmage Eternal. Going wild, the lynchee pulls out a small black book and tries to quickly write Nai's name in it. "Not so fast," says Infinis, grabbing the Death Note out of Archmage Eternal's hands. Together they have a "lynch the serial killer" party and enjoy as the only two remaining manga-dwellers. For of course Archmage Eternal was...
Light Yagami, Devious Serial Killer
Game over! The Town wins, and the Mafia and Serial Killer lose.
Commentary:
I've got to say I was pretty positive the Town was screwed (I was betting on a Mafia win actually) at the beginning of Day 4. Shadow Knight's ability was a bit of a pisser. I enjoyed the game, it was close (well, until that fateful blast) and had some really fun moments (incidentally, that same fateful blast was one of them). I thought Charm_Master3125 and ~Tilde~ were a bit obvious Day 1, but for the most part the mafia played well (Shadow Knight and zindabad felt very pro the whole way through). Nai's analysis was awesome but I think all those pages might have really contributed to people not wanting to read them. And Archmage Eternal, I think, played better and better as the game went on. Day 1 I just remember wishing RafaelK and Nai would stop fighting... I think I started skimming their posts halfway through the argument and it still hurt.
My Bad!:
Yep, I messed up. I admit it. Charm_Master3125 and ~Tilde~ switched roles at the end of Day 1, because I misread my role sheet. Oops.
Finally, since a "game over" post wouldn't be complete without them, my picks for Mafia/Town MVP (Archmage Eternal, you're SK MVP :)):
Mafia MVP: Clearly zindabad. He was completely undetectable, didn't lurk, and just played like Town.
Town MVP: Trickier, I think it has to go to Nai for excellent analysis, even if I doubt anybody else read it.
Thanks everybody for playing, I'll see you all later.
The noise is tremendous as Shadow Knight's power flows out. An explosion rocks the building and everybody dives to get out of the way. Shadow Knight is the first to be consumed in his own explosion. He was...
Akira, Self-Destructible Mafia
~Tilde~ in his panic jumps out of the window as the explosion is ongoing, lying on the ground you can see that he was...
Hisoka, Mafia Sentry
Finally, as the flash is beginning to die down, Netfinity steps out. It's a little too early, and he is blown to pieces. He was...
Amuro Ray, One-Shot Self-Savior
The explosion stops. The Manga Library has been wrecked.
After a short day yesterday, the town gathers to meet again. Today they seem a little short... The first one to be found is kpaca, murdered cruelly in his bed with poker cards stuck into the body. He was...
Yusuke Urameshi, Dormant Vigilante
After this tragedy you go looking for Emo_Pinata, who didn't show up. It isn't a long search. He's still in his bed, dead of a heart attack. His belongings reveal him to be...
Yahiko Myojin, Vanilla Townie
The town is now beginning to get worried about one more person. Where is the always-sharp Ace? After a considerably longer search he is found shoved into a closet, filled with the same superpowered poker cards found in kpaca. Who could be behind these card? Near the body is a newspaper (WTF? Somebody is publishing a newspaper in the middle of all of this?) with a huge headline on the front:
HISOKA KILLS ANOTHER SEEKING INFORMATION
Clear enough. Once you're done reading the newspaper you turn back to Ace's body and see that he is...
The new day dawns. The tired town grumbles a bit. "Let's lynch this guy", they say. The guy in question agrees, so they string him up and manage to finish their work before the sun finishes rising. The guy of course was KeyofDestiny, who was...
Inuyasha, Unpredictable Assailant
Day 3 is now over. It is now Night 3.
Please submit all night actions to me by 9:00PM (PST), Wednesday, July 1.
Back! It's sort of lame but we still have no replacement for greymon90210 (and it seems we probably need another for Rue unless he turns up). Remind me after this game is over to spend some time hating on this new mafia system that seems to have killed activity since I was last here.
Vote Cyan for getting an avatar since I've seen him last. Also I seem to remember you were always shutting me down in these games.
I hate the random voting phase.
