NIGHT 7 - ENDGAME

DM: So.. where did Shushnik go?

TheLaw: Um... I think he just wandered off...

DM: Well, the remaining people have spoken. It seems like you're geeting fire breath'd.

TheLaw: Ah well. It was fun while it lasted.

****

DM: Yadda Yadda, less now than last night.

THE DEAD

Shushnik - Chaotic Good Fighter
The Lawinator - Chaotic Good Sorcerer
Jdarksun - Lawful Evil Blackguard
Celebrim - Lawful Evil Thief

Chaotic Good has been eliminated.
Lawful Evil has been eliminated.

It is mathematically impossible for TEUCRIAN the MUNCHKIN (Serial Killer) to win.

BALANCE (Mafia) WINS!

Glad to see my ability to survive to the end and lose the last day is still intact.

They’ve laughed at you. They said no sane DM would allow your build in a real game. But you showed them. Your friend, the DM, needed help making the pregens. You agreed, as long as you could make your own character. Now, you just need to prove your build is the best. BY KILLING EVERYONE ELSE!

Alignment: You forgot to fill that in. You don’t regester under traditional
You also are friends with the DM. If you win the vote, the DM will just have the dragon claw you for 50 damage instead of insta-killing you.

YOU ARE… A ROLEplayer


Psh. These idiots. You only signed up to this event because you wanted your character to meat a dragon. But this is just stupid. “Run around and kill everyone else to prove your alignment is the best?” Bah. No debates? No arguments put forth or rebutted? What a great opportunity for roleplaying that these philistines are passing up. Forget this.

You win if you are voted out. You want to get out of this event, but you don’t want to give the others the satisfaction of killing you.

Alignment: You feel your character is too complex to be shoved into one of nine little boxes. You don’t register under alignment.

Posting Restriction: Must post everything In Character.

So... Is this the part where I get lynched?

The Anonymous

Fuck no. The village completely deserved to lose.

Man in the Mists

Yeah, those could have been worse. I came up with one particularly horrifying power for the Psion.

Detect Thoughts: Select one person. If they send a Phalla-relevant PM, you will receive a copy of that PM.

...That was actually my first version of the Psion. I then noted the Mafia was a bit lacking in the damage section.

Man in the Mists

Ha! Maybe I should've been the Psion. :lol:

Kias

Soon as I died, I knew it was you, you dirty little Munchkin. Good cover story though, so I can't grudge you... too hard.

Rawkking Goodguy

Aleggis victory was the best victory!

Also the way the factions were set up was pretty awesome as well.

Ringo

This is the outcome I was hoping for ever since SkyCaptain got voted by the village instead of trying to eliminate the mafia. Pretty much the complete opposite of the L5R game. Of course, it doesn't help when villagers ask on DAY FIVE who the damn Mafia are. Read your damned win conditions.

NotoriusBEN

that raises some interesting thoughts, kias.

BALANCE nuked ronrab with attacks because he was going to die to the vote.
then BALANCE used a teleportation staff to switch you and ronrab's places.

Dunadan019

victory or death!

or both...

Teucrian

Damnit. So close. If Shushnik hadn't been inactive maybe he would have whacked a mafia. I only needed one more person to die. . . or maybe I could have had better aim. I really thought Jdark was BALANCE for some reason. Not sure if it would have mattered.

I'm kind of curious as to how it was definitively mathematically impossible for me to win. They must have had a lot of HP left or something. Because I could survive a couple of votes and some attacks, just probably wouldn't be able to deal out any damage. I actually didn't realize that you regular players had so much HP, figured you were more in the 50 - 80 range.

Oh and I didn't kill you directly Kias. I just told the mafia who you were. No hard feelings.

Capfalcon

They could do 100 damage a night (including the vote and subtracting your defense).

Both of them had 60 health, so you couldn't one shot them, so, after two nights, they would have dealt 200 damage to you.

There would have only been one person remaining, but that would have been the game.

Gotcha. Great game and thanks for running. It was a lot of fun to try and win as a serial killer. I came up with the cover role on day 1, but didn't want to pull the trigger. I figured it was possible that one or all of the factions had been told there was a serial killer out there, or I could be revealed in narration. I also thought for a little while that Alegis was a neutral whose goal was to kill me.

Once I figured out that there were no more unaffiliated parties, and I was relatively safe I went ahead with it. I'm really pleased with how well it worked, honestly. I figured I'd completely give myself away somewhere, especially if there were action seers around, but as long as the faction fighting stayed intense nobody could afford to waste resources on me. Without the cover, I never would have had a chance. There was way more firepower out there than I thought.

Sorry if my numerous lies bothered anyone. I figure I may eat a grudge or two for it, but that's phalla.

Capfalcon

So, my miscellaneous thoughts on the game.

Writing narration is hard. I'm not very good at it. Ah well. I may have to get a co-host if I ever want to do something where the narration matters.

Seering was not as big a deal as I thought it was going to be.

The first few days had a scary level of inadvertent coordination between the factions. For example, about 12 people in the game attacked Daniant on Day 1. What did she ever do to any of you

I really thought the Serial Killer had it there for a second, but the mafia won their bet with the last round of attacks.

Also, inactives in a faction game really mess things up. Much more than a regular game.

Finally. Damn, this was a pain to run. It was pretty fun coming up with all the ideas for it, but I'm not too sure I'm going to be running another one any time soon. Maybe if I get a really, really good idea that I feel would be criminal to not [strike]inflict[/strike] SHARE with everyone else.

JaysonFour

Speaking as a neutral, we played... not well. All we had to do was survive, but we didn't put ourselves out there to take control like we should have. After all, we were able to win with anyone. But I think everyone just saw "neutral" and assumed we were mafia, not to mention the whole "wasting the vote-null item for shits and giggles" on Day 2 pretty much painted us as the mafia the village was looking for, and Balance just let them run with it.

romanqwerty

http://lawfulgood.proboards.com/index.cgi

Lawful Good proboards though not that much happened there.

In the end we just took too much heat for us to survive.

I thought this was pretty fun while i was still alive but was a bit confusing between balance and neutral.

Capfalcon

I will take part of the blame for the confusion, but, to be fair, each person's victory conditions were spelled out pretty clearly in the PM.

SkyCaptain

Seering was too difficult for me at least. I had four choices and very little time to use them.

daniant

Hey, I won posthumously.

I thought the RedShirt101 dead posts were really over the top.

Why me, guys? This is the first time I was mafia ever in a game. Tell me what I did wrong so I can get better.

Red Shirt 101

I'm... really ashamed. Sorry guys. I somehow missed the "one dead post" rule in the phalla signup thread. Probably go back to lurking for a bit; obviously need to if I missed picking up on something like that.

NotoriusBEN

no red, the last thing everyone wants is to scare away new meat.

if you've been paying attention to a few of the threads, games can get... intense... sometimes.

Alegis

Teucrian wrote: »

Surprisingly enough I wasn't attacked once.

Though by day 4 I knew I had to win that vote some day and my posts were getting ignored so it didn't help to 'spice up the bandwagon thread'.

Bargained for votes by offering a +5 magical defense item and roleblock gauntlets.

abotkin

Here's the Balance proboard, but daniant will need to unlock it. http://zenneutral.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general

I feel kind of bad for limiting myself to posting once a day, but I couldn't think of a safe way to spin my posting restriction, so I just did my best to hide it with using light blue text and only posting when my post would end up in the darker blue field. Which meant I had to wait a couple hours some days before making my vote post.

I had quite a bit of fun though, thanks for running the game Capfalcon.

TheLaw attacked you (unsurprisingly), so the rest of CG just kind of jumped on you too. Not sure about everyone else.

ronrab

Great job on the win, mafia. I thought for sure we were toast.

Nice game, Cap, I had fun.

I will note the village's confusion over the mafia was so bad I deliberately made a post calling attention to BALANCE because I was pretty sure it wouldn't make a difference, and it would look good as cover later. I don't think this is the GM's fault at all, though; people just weren't paying attention closely.

I was really bummed on missing a chance to work with Dunadan and Daniant, though, since they got killed so early. :? So much for my plans to fuse them into the all-powerful DUNADANIANT.

What made me laugh was you found 3 of 4 of the Lawful Evils by looking at the votes on you. Of course, you being outed mafia it made the whole thing funnier as it was Lawful Evil who found you in the first place.

Capfalcon

Oh, before I forget, here's the items.

General

Spoiler:

Healing Potion x 2: +10 hp each
Bracers of Protection: +5 to defense
Amulet of Undetectable Alignment: You register as seer’s alignment for seering.
Orb of Dragonkind: Can live through the vote once.

Warrior

Spoiler:

Belt of Ogre Strength: +10 to damage
Spiked Gauntlet: Roleblock
Warding Shield: + 5 Defense AND Can guard two people

Priest

Spoiler:

Wand of Cure Moderate Wounds: +5 to heal each day.
Prayer Beads: Use two abilities a day (Each one only once).
Golden Holy Symbol: Allows for spiritual hammer (Second attack vs. someone else)

Mage

Spoiler:

Boccob’s Spellbook: Get a Mage classes’ ability.
Staff of Teleportation: Busdrive
Robe of the Archmage: Enhance your class’s ability

Skilled

Spoiler:

Cloak of Elvenkind: Attack can’t be guarded against.
Lethal Venoms: 5 damage extra damage AND target ignores the next heal
Magic Leather Armor: +5 Defense

The way it worked is that your group could only find an item if you from any given category if you had the right class. I.E. If someone geeked your mage, you couldn't find any mage items. However, if you already had a mage item, everyone could keep using it just fine.

And I'm not putting up the percentile table, because that's going to be too much work. But, due to the intrest in the Orb of Dragonkind, the chances of getting the Orb item was 5% within the general Category. So, really, about 1%, since you had to get the General category to begin with.

Neutral boards unlocked. Hmmm...good to know that The Law is keeping the grudge going. Silly me, thinking it wasn't still going when he didn't vote for me. Silly, silly me.
