A [Mini-Phalla] of Ice and Fire: Game Over! Village/Bronn Victory!

Spoit · May 2011

To be fair though, I did tell thorgot to guard himself today

Drez · May 2011

thorgot: So basically I was right that you were a bad guy but I was wrong in that you didn't really want the bad guys to win. What the fuck?

edit: Bizarre phalla is bizarre.

Our Role PM:

You are a usurper!

You want the crown, and the throne, and all that good stuff, and you're not willing to play nice to get it. As a group, you may choose one player to kill each night. In addition, most of you have individual talents:

Thetheroo - Daenerys Stormborn (Okay, you don't have a special power)
thorgot - Bronn the Sellsword - You're the usurper's guard. You may block all kills on a single target each night EXCEPT the vote. PM me your targets
stever777 - Tyrion Lannister - Your silver tongue (and silver purse) garner you extra influence when it counts. In this case, it's during the vote, where your vote counts 3 times the normal amount
Alt_Raven - Cersei Lannister - You're quite clever, though some might say TOO clever. Each night, you may PM a name of whomever's special abilities you would like to see.
Spoint - Jaime Lannister - You're an accomplished swordsman, and unscrupulous in your targets. Each night, PM the name of whomever you wish to kill (separate from the group kill)
Extermatott - Joffrey Baratheon - Sorry, you don't have a special ability either.

My Super Secret PM:

Yes, yes, your service has been bought with all the gold you could want, but you hold no true allegiance to the usurpers.

Your win condition? Stay alive. If all other usurpers perish before you do, you will conveniently defect and still be victorious.

Drez · May 2011

Oh and good game, godmode. Thanks for swapping me in.

Raakam · May 2011

I was away all night - Wednesday is our D&D night, and I forgot to come in and vote... I was wondering about that too... 2 seers in a mini seemed a lot, but hey, it worked out in the end!

Also, what happened to Kuhl?

I could really win with the village too. But I just knew. I knew. That no one would believe kills in black were not SK. Thank god I didn't call my kill day 1. Hahaa

If the usurpers would have contacted me, I would have been a silly goose and helped since my death was final already.

If I had known that for certain, I could have revealed all the names to oldmanken Day 2 and we could have wrapped this up on day 3.

I find it pretty funny a member of the mafia was directing the seer's targets.

Kuhl had the power of surviving the first attack against him by coming back to life a day later.

stever777 · May 2011

Yup, Thor. You smelled of betrayal!

godmode · May 2011

In retrospect, thorgot was WAY overpowered.

This was my first hosting experience, though, so I've learned.

Drez · May 2011

thorgot: Even more dangerous than I ever expected. Though I guess I should thank you. I don't know what to make of this so I'll just say "screw it" and go to bed like I meant to three hours ago.

Darian · May 2011

So... instead of homing vlad we had self-guarding vlad?

Ouch; from a design perspective, that's nasty. Poor Lannisters never knew what hit them. And I take it you knew your full win condition from the beginning of the game, rather than keeping it as a surprise twist when Tyrion fell?

edit: So many posts between when I first saw the results and when I posted my response. In general, it's really dangerous to give someone the mafia list if they can win by killing off the mafia.
One way it might work would be if that person was truly a serial killer after the mafia was gone; then they couldn't make it too obvious what they were up to.

thorgot · May 2011

Poor Sagatai, seered by the mafia as the village idiot and doomed never to be voted out after I told oldmanken of this fact.

Right, I knew from the start. Though I had to open that PM every day to convince myself I hadn't read it wrong.

Ah yes, kuhlmeye. Arya Stark is one of my favorite characters from the books, and like her written character, I wanted to make her a little more resilient than the others. I named her ability "Hard to Kill": she could avoid a VIG death once, and just once, and be alright. The night kuhlmeye got targeted was my very tired night, and I forgot about the ability completely. I killed him, then got a message the next day asking if he was supposed to activate it or something. I apologized for my forgetfulness, and decided to write it into the narration that she simply shrugged off the poison, not having received a lethal dose.

I'm pretty scatterbrained sometimes

cj iwakura · May 2011

I for one enjoy two-faced mafia roles.

Heh. Yeah, Egos and I had fun with that in Gehenna (if I'm remembering the right V:tM game). But in that one, there were others within the mafia who were set up against us.

stever777 · May 2011

A: I feel bad about wacking Darian so early.
B: Thor, you don't mind if I grudge you for a game or two, not that your opinion matters...

Guarded last night, I see. Now where could one presume that puts you on the map of characters? Hmmmm...

Greetings, vigilante and/or serial killer.

I have a feeling I'm going to be earning some grudges from the rest of the usurpers.

I'll be up front with you. I am Bronn, the sellsword. I get a guard every other night starting with the first. I started networked with Tyrion Lannister (part of the mafia). We don't have a kill, that is the other Lannisters. Our win condition is for the evil group to outnumber the village.

However, I have an alternate win condition. I can win if I survive until the end, regardless of who wins.

Because of this I was already planning on starting a network with people who Tyrion seers as good, even as he joins us up with the evil results. I'd rather be up front you with you now than have you find out I've told you even a single white lie later. Better to tell the truth, even if it means you know that I can also win with the usurpers.

Tyrion seered Joffrey, who was networked with both Cersei and Jaime, but he won't cough up the name of his parents in case Tyrion is actually fishing on behalf of a village seer. Take out Extermatot (Joffrey) and we'll both sow up some dissent among them and give you some peace of mind about your decision to contact me.

So now it's your choice: You can kill me tonight, or you can kill Extermatot tonight. I am helpless on even days. But if I were lying about being neutral, there would be no reason to tell you all this. I could just claim to be some character or another and quietly kill you tonight using my Joffrey connection.

Now that I've thoroughly revealed myself, do you even have a kill? If not, we can figure something else out. What are your thoughts about this unholy reunion? And, while I'm fine if you want to wait until tomorrow to tell me this, what's your character's name?

Like I said, I knew what I was getting into. Note the little lies in case he betrayed me later.

You should feel bad! Not that my "vote counts as two" power would have mattered much.

And grudging either Thorgot or godmode would probably be appropriate for you. Find someone not me to go after!

Spoit · May 2011

Yeah, having you have twice the seering power and a list of all the mafia really was rather ridiculous. I get why you wouldn't have them vig me, but why not have them start a wagon on me?

stever777 · May 2011

ARGGHH!! You sold us out to oldmanken??!! My nemesis!
BTW, calm down...

Darian · May 2011

Ah, now I see how it worked. Bronn didn't start with the names of any mafia (other than Tyrion), but he could seer and he trusted you.
In that case, you weren't nearly so overpowered as it seemed at first blush. If Tyrion had just not trusted you with his seering results, you'd have been left at the mercy of others.

cj iwakura · May 2011

Kind of hard to put a vote shenanigan power to use when you're not on at vote close. Ah well.

B:L managed in my stead.

kuhlmeye · May 2011

Wowow

GG thorgot. Expertly played. I would have never expected your role.

Happy I managed to come back to life to win. Thanks Godmode!

No. Heck, he's the one who made the proboard

kuhlmeye · May 2011

Oh, poor roo. So ready to kill me day 3, and I just come back to win... <3

Matev · May 2011

Wow, a fascinating game. Oh well, I played my "role". Crazy, clueless and easily led.

oldmanken · May 2011

So yeah, that was fun!

Well played from thorgot, and I'm glad my contact with him didn't come and bite me in the ass.

Spoit · May 2011

See the thing is with a self guard, the only way we could have dealt with him, if we'd even found out, would be to get him voted out. And since he was networked on what, the middle of the 2nd day? Yeah...

Cargo Culture · May 2011

In the interests of transparency I, as Hodor, was picking more or less at random. I figured out after about Day 2 that short of some kind of crazy mafia power shenanigans that the village was safe, so I was just picked whatever dude my brain happened to settle on.

Good fun!

Hodor!

Alegis · May 2011

thanks for running godmode. I have only one question:

who day 1 killed me

who was it

Alegis · May 2011

't was cap'nplanet eh. ye scullion no be a real cap'n

c'mere boy, we be keelhaulin ye bakk-stabbin scullion! tastin the sea! Yarrr harrr harrrr

M.D. · May 2011

i'm a bear RAWR

godmode · May 2011

All you people with skills? TERRIBLE aim. There were double kills all over the place, and I think Raakam seered corpses twice.

Not necessarily your fault, just funny to watch.

Also, Ringo you're terrible for being the village guard and never using your ability at all.

Darian · May 2011

Wait... if the village guard wasn't using his ability, why didn't the mafia take out oldmanken? Did they just never test him?

godmode · May 2011

I guess not, because Ringo was dead day 2 anyway.

I figured I had to have been seered early on to not get a SINGLE vote the entire game, felt like I would almost convince someone to vote for me then the network would inform them otherwise, o well, very strong network this game, which meant I really only had a chance day 1-thanks for running this godmode

godmode · May 2011

Certainly, certainly. It was very fun to run and watch how it developed, and definitely a learning experience for the main game I'll be running with the same theme in a few months.

But of course, it's mandatory that the main game be a faction game.

M.D. · May 2011

you should check out the old ASOIF phalla I didnt know anything about the setting when I played and I got murdered so hard

godmode · May 2011

Yeah, I've perused it. I don't want to dig too deeply into it, though - I fear I'd start gleaning too many ideas and just have a remake of the same game.

Don't make the Kettleblack's into actual Lannisters.

Of course, that lead to the hilarious false Jaqen claim on my part so it was almost worth it.
