Sorry Rawkking, it was really yesterday's accidental massacre that led to our deal going up shit creek. I probably could have sacrificed Kilnaga, but with the (apparently triggered at random?) two extra kills, both of mafia...
No, seriously wtf?
Yeah those kills were randomly generated. AND THEY BOTH HIT MAFIA!
@jdarksun was it you who Ebum screwed over in a way like this? I faintly thought I remembered something like that but decided to give him a chance.
When I get into these deals I do my absolute best to give both players what they want, and unless there are a preponderance of survival villagers (heh) in this game this seems like not sticking to the deal. At all.
So yeah, I'm a bit disappointed in you Ebum. I could've sided with the mafia and screwed over the village do some appreciable extent in fact, and if I had risked more soft networking maybe I would've been safe doing that. Didn't have a good handle on who the vigs and seers were.
So yeah, I won't be trusting you with such deals in the future. Ever.

Fun story, we used an unblockable, unstoppable megavig to hit Spool last night and it did nothing, from what we could tell. Mi-Go said it hurt him, but we had no roleblock and you still have a busdriver, so we couldn't even dare to back it up.
Then he killed 2 of us the next night.
Like for real, that's frustrating. Had we known an unstoppable kill would have just made the vig super power, we would have just roleblocked him every night.

Thanks for running, mi-go! I had fun being kime. I'll leave balance discussion to those who are good at that. I have to say I wasn't a fan of the guy who knew all the things. The role, not the person himself

NEUTRAL
Izaya Orihara
You are the information broker, Izaya Orihara. You love humanity so, so much and therefore love to see all aspects of it... including how people react in the face of chaos.

YELLOW SCARVES
Each night, the mafia can take the following actions. Each action shall be assigned to one member.
1) Choose someone you would like to kill (or rather beat up mercilessly). Once per game, you may make a kill unblockable and unable to be redirected.
2) Choose someone you would like to roleblock. If Horada is eliminated, you no longer have this ability.
3) Vote Manipulate by increasing or decreasing or person's vote count by one. If the Infiltrator is eliminated, you no longer have this ability.
Horada

Yellow Scarf Infiltrator
The thing about the Dollars is that joining the organization ensures your complete anonymity. And since you're now a member of both the Yellow Scarves and the Dollars, no one can suspect you!
When you are seered, you turn up as village. However one person in particular can look through your disguise...
SAIKA's ARMY
Each night, the mafia can take the following actions. Each action shall be assigned to one member.
1) Choose someone you would like to kill (or Slash). Each person you slash has a 33% chance of converting to your side as a fellow sister or brother (66% chance that it will result in a normal death). However, your initiate will lose his powers upon joining your side. If Haruna Niekawa is eliminated, you lose this ability to convert. Once per game, you may make a kill unblockable and unable to be redirected.
2) Choose someone you would like to seer. When you seer a person, his or her abilities will be known. Seering a member of the opposing mafia faction will turn up as "no powers."
Haruna Niekawa
You are Haruna Niekawa, the leader of Saika's Army while the Mother is absent. You will spread Her love to all, by slashing and maiming. You attack the strong and embrace them to your side by welcoming them as a sister or a brother.

mi-go. in the future please do not reveal conversions in public narration. it's not a good mechanic.
Yeah, this. And a lot of general hosting stuff to try to obscure what's going on behind the scenes (stuff like people missing orders, when you put up public clarifications from private PMs, etc.)
The game was a wreck, but I think you got hosting potential mi-go.
Just don't listen to kime for game balance advice :P
mi-go. in the future please do not reveal conversions in public narration. it's not a good mechanic.
I wouldn't have named the person getting converted, but I don't mind letting everyone know conversions have been made. Ramps up the paranoia suitably, I think. Worked well in Baidol's mass effect game that way.
mi-go. in the future please do not reveal conversions in public narration. it's not a good mechanic.
I would have been suspicious based on the narration, but... Rawkking's ridiculous power GAVE HIM AN UPDATE when people were converted. Which he passed along.
@jdarksun was it you who Ebum screwed over in a way like this? I faintly thought I remembered something like that but decided to give him a chance.
When I get into these deals I do my absolute best to give both players what they want, and unless there are a preponderance of survival villagers (heh) in this game this seems like not sticking to the deal. At all.
So yeah, I'm a bit disappointed in you Ebum. I could've sided with the mafia and screwed over the village do some appreciable extent in fact, and if I had risked more soft networking maybe I would've been safe doing that. Didn't have a good handle on who the vigs and seers were.
So yeah, I won't be trusting you with such deals in the future. Ever.
Technically speaking, I could have just had... pretty much anyone else start the Assuran vote. Premium was in contact with a seer and could have viably come forward. At least I stabbed you in the front!
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
Game was hilarious. My role - Yellow Scarf Infiltrator - was a Thrall! Perfect, considering the Mafia either kills me Day 1 or the village lynches me Day 2.
So what happens Day 1? ebum saves me. Yay, ebum! Except I had made a deal behind the scenes to be saved anyway, which included a public seering - bonus! Confirmed village!
Except I wasn't confirmed village because I wasn't a Thrall, not really. I was basically outed as ... Yellow Scarf Infiltrator! Which means I would never get seered, because duh - Infiltrator!
The behind-the-scenes deal (@38thDoe & @cj iwakura) pulled me out of the game for a day, so I also avoided the Day 2 vote. Yay! I tried to lay as low as possible (Real Life helped), but there was little reason since others were going to figure it out.
I come back in, game progresses. But here comes the kicker! Last night, the Yellow Scarves used our super ultra mega killing attack, guaranteed unblockable, cannot be redirected, kills on contact attack on Spool32 - the village vig!
"Celty Sturlson
An urban legend to many in Ikebukuro, you are the headless motorcycle rider Celty Sturluson and you work as a transporter. A member of the Dollars organization, you arrived in town to find your lost head. But now the gang war has diverted your attention, and you have to forgo your search for now.
You are a Bus Driver. Before vote close, choose two targets except yourself. Any powers targeting that one person will target the other and vice versa. Due to being a faerie, you also have a 50% chance of surviving a mafia or Vigilante attack directed towards you. "
Seriously?
My role was I have a Vig with only a 25% chance to land, and I have to kill the person who has a 50% chance to dodge the attack even if it does go through. I had ZERO chance.

yeah that's fine! it's just when everyone has an individual role and that role is named that conversions become nothing but a time-waster, which doesn't really help anyone in a significant way. Except for rawk, who fucked it up by helping people with straight vigs instead. : P

@jdarksun I absolve myself of all responsibility for the kidnapping you fiasco :rotate:
He told me that it was removed from the game at first and then later on that it was a public seer and we were like hell yeah let's do it without thinking that removing from the game doesn't necessarily mean a public seer
In total fairness: with none of the mafia really contacting me (I bugged jdark a bit, but not much) I had it down to about 10 people by the end of day 2. Egos and SLyM I called for the vigs, though there was a partial misfire for one of those because of double targeting and what not. I was pretty suspicious of the rest of you as well, and if I wasn't, Megafrost was.

Yeah, this. And a lot of general hosting stuff to try to obscure what's going on behind the scenes (stuff like people missing orders, when you put up public clarifications from private PMs, etc.)
The game was a wreck, but I think you got hosting potential mi-go.
Just don't listen to kime for game balance advice :P
@jdarksun I apologize if we ended up leading you to a target that was guarded (I think) and shit backfiring (I have no idea). my intentions were pure!
I wouldn't have named the person getting converted, but I don't mind letting everyone know conversions have been made. Ramps up the paranoia suitably, I think. Worked well in Baidol's mass effect game that way.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
also @KIME
I would have been suspicious based on the narration, but... Rawkking's ridiculous power GAVE HIM AN UPDATE when people were converted. Which he passed along.
Technically speaking, I could have just had... pretty much anyone else start the Assuran vote. Premium was in contact with a seer and could have viably come forward. At least I stabbed you in the front!
So what happens Day 1? ebum saves me. Yay, ebum! Except I had made a deal behind the scenes to be saved anyway, which included a public seering - bonus! Confirmed village!
Except I wasn't confirmed village because I wasn't a Thrall, not really. I was basically outed as ... Yellow Scarf Infiltrator! Which means I would never get seered, because duh - Infiltrator!
The behind-the-scenes deal (@38thDoe & @cj iwakura) pulled me out of the game for a day, so I also avoided the Day 2 vote. Yay! I tried to lay as low as possible (Real Life helped), but there was little reason since others were going to figure it out.
I come back in, game progresses. But here comes the kicker! Last night, the Yellow Scarves used our super ultra mega killing attack, guaranteed unblockable, cannot be redirected, kills on contact attack on Spool32 - the village vig!
Whom it doesn't work on!
Yay!

Hey now, I toned down the game, if you'll believe it! :P
I enjoyed watching it

Steam profile
An urban legend to many in Ikebukuro, you are the headless motorcycle rider Celty Sturluson and you work as a transporter. A member of the Dollars organization, you arrived in town to find your lost head. But now the gang war has diverted your attention, and you have to forgo your search for now.
You are a Bus Driver. Before vote close, choose two targets except yourself. Any powers targeting that one person will target the other and vice versa. Due to being a faerie, you also have a 50% chance of surviving a mafia or Vigilante attack directed towards you. "
Seriously?
My role was I have a Vig with only a 25% chance to land, and I have to kill the person who has a 50% chance to dodge the attack even if it does go through. I had ZERO chance.
- Terence McKenna
@Farangu would like to give guests a history lesson? Or @Beel if our esteemed Farangu is busy.
I was also the vig!
yeah that's fine! it's just when everyone has an individual role and that role is named that conversions become nothing but a time-waster, which doesn't really help anyone in a significant way. Except for rawk, who fucked it up by helping people with straight vigs instead. : P
Not mad at all. I thought the game was funny. I have to ask like most time I do. How? Who? Why?
you didn't say "GET RID OF THE ROLE THAT KNOWS EVERY FUCKING ROLE!"
@KIME :evil:
- Terence McKenna
He told me that it was removed from the game at first and then later on that it was a public seer and we were like hell yeah let's do it without thinking that removing from the game doesn't necessarily mean a public seer
