We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.
Metastasis, a [mini-Phalla] - Game Over. Mafia Victory.

Actually, they were at the lower end of who I found suspicious, which is why I let them at the mercy of the mob instead of designate my army of hitmen to take them out.
We did try to kill SLyM.
Just, not enough.
Mass confusion!
Yeah, sorry about that. :P Same goes for you, Assuran.
But if I was going to be a cancer, I decided I might as well start spreading as fast as possible.
Which was the correct call.
You had a pretty good alibi for Vertroue's death.
Just, the number of deaths each day did not add up.
After it was established to the village that the Doctor was real and orders were going to start piling into you, I knew even the best alibi's wouldn't be good enough. There was going to be just too much evidence pointing at me.
But I had done the best I could to muddy up that evidence.
I was CorpseRT until the latest forum change.
Even though its obviously not the same thing.
I think I agree with this. I felt like I might have been putting something together there for a while, but really I didn't have a clue what I was doing. And I wasn't really sure how to handle the win condition and such. Having to kill the mafia while also keeping an unspecified number of people alive, with the mafia able to convert players, made it very difficult to really think we were doing well. Not having results really from each night either threw me off my game.
My perspective is colored by the fact that by Day 3, I either knew or had a good guess on all of the mechanics in the game and had basically all information everywhere on Day 4.
Day 3 was too late, because of regeneration. Day 4 I had back-ups in line for my expected death.
Admittedly, I was not a threat until the good Doctor decided to make me one.
Well, that's basically what happened. The village would have won thanks to Baidol, except there was no way he could know the critical piece of information that the mafia had guards besides proteins.

This is how I originally envisioned the game, but I couldn't find a way to balance it. It always ended up being pretty much the same mechanic as dani's Archer phalla. This is how I eventually did it, but even here I think the mafia were slightly underpowered. I didn't think about necessitating 2 kills to nab a mafia, though, as Phyphor suggested at game start.
(Speaking of which, we are now without a main or mini, with over a week until the theoretical start date of Munkus' game!)
I was told I couldn't be converted as the last RAC1.

You couldn't be converted, you could only die and lose the game. ???
and sorry all about today, I have not slept in um 36 hours or so and I was really tired earlier. I had a feeling that obi was mafia from day 2 when out of everyone I ate him. Sure the mechanics are odd and a cancer could have eaten me therefore killing me or something, but I still believed he was mafia...
Anyway interesting game Mr.T

Wouldn't that also be odd on its own? If you are the last RAC1, the mafia need a critical mass of RAC1s, and you couldn't be converted. At that point either the mafia have won or its impossible for them to win. Because either they have all the RAC1s to win, or they can't get them because the last RAC1 would be unconvertable.
I even posted on the proboards that I felt bad for you when that whole dialog was going on.

The only thing to keep in mind is that these type of mechanics scale. If I had 50 or 60 people, my plan actually gets much better and is just as easy, so the village would still have narrowed everything down 3-4 days in, but if the mafia couldn't win for 5-6 days, you'd be toast
I'm a guy.
I also got super played this game. Good work Obi. I should have checked you like I was planning day 2.
Confusion will be my epitaph
I think day two I had two guards on me so I wouldn't have died had you tested me, but man would you have had some good evidence on me when you came back.
