    Usually, roleblockers aren't prevalent, one to a side in a game this size is more than reasonable.

    SlyM because I'm curious...

    Me, Caulk and Matev are the shittiest network ever, but we know for sure that Matev isn't mafia. Caulk was roleblocked after his reveal, I don't know why we're bothering to lie about it.

    If Caulk was roleblocked, then how do you know that Matev isn't mafia? Is he another befriender? :?

    I think he ment to say caulk wasnt roleblocked, otherwise the bit about lying dosent make sense in context.

    sounds like a story I haven't heard. do tell?

    Ace attorney main, Cap was network head, I think it was... Gumpy who was a role, but not alignment seer. There was a mix up with the communication between them about the later point, and a mafia got in the network. They weren't subtle at all about eliminating most of the claimed specials, but network security was never really tightened

    Also, the game is pretty quiet the whole first 3 days, and then I go away for one day and it all blows up? Maaaan.

    And what's up with the whole "potential last day" stuff. We already got 1 mafia, and 20% of 20 is 4. Even in the worst case, if the vote, vig and mafia kill all hit villagers, there'd still be 9 people left tomorrow. 3/9 is only 1/3. The only way that that could possibly be a mafia win would be a 5 mafia/4 village split. And I really doubt that Arivia would have gone with a 6 person mafia, which is 30% of the game. Even with only a single mafia kill rather than the usual 2, that would still be ridiculously overpowered.

    Alternate mafia win condition maybe? But Arivia said that this was supposed to be a fairly newbie friendly game.

    No.

    !Caulk Bite 6

    Either you're telling the truth and got a guard last night. Or you're a very clever mafia and looking for village specials.
    While sacrificing a fellow mafia for the chance of getting the role of some specials, or at least force the real seer to do a counter reveal, is a definite tactic the mafia might try to use, especially if the mafia is oversize as I speculated above, I don't know why you'd go after the seer rather than one of the seered targets to try to verify them, like that flarne vote silas pulled. Given the lack of a counter seer claim or second network, however, I'm more inclined to think that this is a mafia misplay by turkson who got too bold because of the "this is potentially the final day"

    Langly said "Hey gumpy seered me day one and Im village" and then cap said he was telling the truth after gumpy had died. But no one had said that Gumpy wasnt an alignment seer. So Langly got a proboard invite and became the network head when he was mafia the whole time.

    Not one red name was killed all game because of that mess. Edit: Cap got exactly one mafia kill on day 1, and langly gave him bad targets after that.

    @bedlam What's the reasoning for the slym vote? I see the lucedes is because he didn't want to softnetwork, but nothing for this one

    Metagaming mostly. I remember slym being more talky in other phallas and he seems really quiet in this one. Its not a great hunch but I dont know what else to go on.

    And technically, that one person wasn't supposed to be mafia anyway.

    Okay so votes that I see so far:
    Caulk Bite [1]- I've been talking to him a bit, but not really got anything. Part of a claimed village network. Probably not a good vote
    Lucedes - [2]Not wanting to soft network. Maybe a good vote, but not sure how mafia that makes him. Although I think voting for yourself is silly I can see why so early on you would do that rather than vote out the wrong person.
    Slym- [3]No real reason given. Something to do with being to quiet. I think a lot of people could be accused of that, as this game has been quite quiet.
    Flarne [1] - Big reveal claim. I havent talked to him directly so have no idea if this is a lie or not.
    Turkson [1] - for voting for the network head early on. possible mafia gambit

    Well thats my interpretation anyway for what its worth.
    Out of those possibilities I'm inclined to go for Turkson

    Oh yeah, my point.

    Refusing to soft newtwork is a silly reason to bandwagon someone. But also a suboptimal play for a village idiot, if that's what lucedes wants us to think of him as

    Lyra! You're an excitable, friendly pony. So friendly in fact, that you're best friends with Bon-Bon, another pony. Unfortunately, you don't have any real skills to contribute to the effort against the monsters.

    Ability: You don't have a special ability. But you can vote!

    Win Condition: You win when all threats to Ponyville have been eliminated.

    I don't know, if I thought I could get a couple random villagers to support it, I might try to ram it through as a mafia. Especially if the host were to say that the game could very well be over the next night

    Conclusion

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j77iN-4Ftg&amp;feature=related

    The ponies crowded around each other, frightened and scared, choosing another of their own to trample underfoot. Turkson - Lyra was the sacrifice - and only then did the citizens of Ponyville realize the monsters had been among them all along! They struck again and again, claiming Bedlam - Applejack as their first victim, even knocking Rainbow Dash out of control so she took out Silas Brown - Zecora.

    Against this awesome display of power, the three remaining ponies - Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash - simply couldn't stand, and they had to run, leaving poor Ponyville behind in ruins.

    End of the game - the monsters have won!

    The Victorious:
    Tmoiy - Dragon
    SlyM - Ursa Minor
    Capfalcon - Cockatrice
    Spoit - Manticore
    Shiny New Toys - Hydra
    Lucedes - Diamond Dog


    The Devastated:
    Caulk Bite 6 -Pinkie Pie
    Flarne - Twilight Sparkle
    Matev - Rainbow Dash


    The Gone:
    Turkson - Lyra: voted out
    Silas Brown - Zecora: dashed into oblivion
    Bedlam - Applejack: smoked out

    Notes:
    Any problems with this game should be pretty squarely laid at my feet, since I forgot to check the numbers before beginning, which gave the mafia an absurd advantage. They actually would have won last night, but I gave the village an extra day to make up for my mistakes. On the other hand, I inadvertently confirmed some villagers through bad communication, which helped a bit.

    I hope everyone had fun, however, and I think there's still ground to be mined here if someone wants to do this some more justice.
