RPG Mafia - Secret Chrono Fantasy Trail CIXVI

[Alexem]

@Alexem, Sorian said you're fucking clueless, you can't handle this game and you don't think, I'm not even joking look scroll up

Why are you letting him lead us

Because juggling this game with work and commuting isn't easy - I don't have an easy time tracking everyone in larger games, so I do what I can to work with the pieces that stand out to me the most. Also, Sorian said that he doesn't have much of an opinion of me - I don't appreciate being called "fucking clueless" and those are your words, not his.

This observation about Neon is interesting, I'm not sure I would join those dots so quickly upon learning poison is a thing in this game, what made you go back and check their role?

Generally, 'doctor' is the name of a normal healing role, so the fact that Neon's role was 'healer' stood out. Initially, I considered that it might have been just flavour fitting in to the RPG theming, but when Blarg declared that he was 'unwell' - or poisoned, as he was quick to assume - that made me think that the role may be dual purpose. If poison's a factor in this game, then surely there must be some way to cure it, if only to make the game fair.

Yeah, who called neon the doctor first in this game? You’d think some doctor, healer, cleric or white mage would have a way to get rid of status effects like poison.

 

[Zippedpinhead]

That neon wagon was horrible.

And you killed the doctor D1... *sight*

Franconp, you said we killed the doctor day 1, but neon’s role was tank…

I am NOT calling for anyone to claim, but @Blargonaut maybe you have some hope out there

 

[Chuggernaut]

Bodyguard is often thought of as a doctor I don't think this is the road to go down

 

[The Wizard]

Just wanted to quote this because I never really got this impression from Wiz

Which impression? Wanting to vote for Neon? I covered it a bit with Fran yesterday but I know that Neon was in my shortlist for scum day one so it felt weird when it was positioned as me reluctantly joining the vote.

This feels like an attempt to link Ty and Malus in a way that I think stinks

I don’t see how malus fits into that post?

Geno

How does Geno fit into your day 2 list, is if the token mentions from malus?

I just don’t know if “heal” is that conspicuous of a word choice to stand out on first blush

 

[Sorian]

He had a bodyguard role, that’s a doctor. I don’t think it matters though since I bet multiple people have “doctor” roles

 

[Sorian]

Oh that’s true and the heal thing, sorry I’m on mobile and I saw Chugg say bodyguard so I just used the same word

 

[Alexem]

I just don’t know if “heal” is that conspicuous of a word choice to stand out on first blush

I've gone back and re-read Neon's flip. Strictly speaking, his T3 shot isn't really named as anything, it's the highlighted 'heal' description that left an impression. Even the tier name - 'buy them time' implies that it can do more than just defend a player.

I'll concede that without knowing the full command and description that Neon would have received from learning the skill there's an amount of interpretation on my part, but again, as we know someone or something can make you feel unwell in this game, I don't think it's unreasonable to conclude that a 'heal' action could cover poisoning as well as standard kills.

 

[The Wizard]

I don't know what to do with all that information. Muffin being a gossip can be proven, but it doesn't really clear him either. Also if the shot is random, a Scum mate can just claim to have had a chat with him and then we'll have to wait another two days until the targeted shot is unlocked.


What even is this?

This looks good for Muffin

 

[Chuggernaut]

The post Ty is responding to is talking about Malus and himself.

With Geno it's really the only time he brings up Malus and I don't know why Malus of all players is singled out there from a town Geno perspective

I came away from this really wanting to flip Nat the most and I know dead town can be wrong, but that's the last thing HP was pushing

 

[Chuggernaut]

Also I'll throw out that Ty being all "yes you should join our night chat with me and Malus" if they're scum together is a crazy post and makes me more confident on unpairing Ty and Malus

 

[The Wizard]

The post Ty is responding to is talking about Malus and himself.

Oh right, Blargs NPC talk thing. Yeah I didn't really care about that when asking Ty, I only brought it up cause Ty was mentioning "we can talk about Muffin tonight" and then later that day Muffin claims a night chat role.

 

[The Wizard]

malus looked genuinely curious/prying about the shopkeeper at the start of today, you would think a scum!Ty would have already filled in his team on the shopkeeper interaction so I'd say that's another point toward them not being paired

 

[Natiko]

A double vote alone wouldn't necessarily be a green check, but to have beloved shot as well seems a bit strong for a scum skillset. Obviously we have to take the beloved part on trust for now, but I'd lean green on nin for the moment.

There’s enough there that I think it would be silly to waste a lot of time hyper analyzing nin. There are better threads to chase than spending time on that.

[POISONED]

@Chuggernaut

Did you, like... forget to send your Fruit after you picked it N1?

(bc as you may know u have to spend EXP to unlock the ability first THEN another command to actually do it, and you forgot to do the 2nd bit on N1?)​

Is that why TWE didn't get anything N1? But during D2 when u claimed, you played it off as someone either having interrupted you (BUT nobody actually did because why would someone* Roleblock YOU out of 20,000 other possible remaining players on the 1st Night of the game), or as you say your "RNGsus" forsook thee (BUT maybe you're lying about it being RNG at all, you just forgot to send it)!??

Then come N2, you (with your 2 remaining EXP) realised you still had your N1 Fruit still in your inventory

And you gave it to me last Night?

But it had become rotten from being kept too long (picked on N1 but distributed during N2)

And that's why I'm Quite Unwell????

*the only ppl who had earned 2 EXP to possibly spend during N1 were: Chuggs... Febe... nin... turm... Sneeks/Ael... The Wizard... malus... Blarg... Zipped... if we believe Chuggs' suggestion that someone possibly Roleblocked him (which btw, according to my own Roleblock is a 4 EXP ability not a 2pts one), the culprit woulda been one of these N1 2-pointer ppl; but that's all if we ignore Chuggs saying it was RNG's fault that TWE didn't get anything

​

or...

You (Chuggs) r pretend!claiming to have sent or spent anything at all N1; maybe you decided to drop your Fruit Vendor Role-claim like a smoke bomb to relieve yourself from the wars you were fighting, but with a falsified "RNG"-twist to act as a further heat sink for ya yeah?

So whilst everyone stepped away from u to ooh-&-ah over your claimed RNGness, you rack up another 2 pts off of D2 itself (you had refrained from eating Cap as iirc u explained that u didn't scumread him??)... so then u had 4 EXP to use on N2 (whilst everyone else #believed you only had 2pts left),

So then you send your Tier 2 Even Deadlier Fruit at me last Night N2??? And now I live like this?????

/speculation​

As hilarious as I find the theory, and while I can see Chuggs as mafia, I don’t think there’s any shot of this being the case lol

I started reading backwards but kind of skimmed once I got back to day 1 since I think that matters less for someone who flipped town. I will say, I didn't quote any of them (there were 2 or 3 posts) but HP was heavily town reading melon, more just worth mentioning as an aside since that seems to be a theme among a lot of people.










A dead town player's word isn't gospel but to sum it up, he seems to scum read people in this order from most to least: Nat > Zipped > Muffin > Chuggs. We can clear Zipped off the table now which leaves the other three. The Chuggs read came in hot at the start of day 2 off of the Neon mislynch but HP did seem to cool or forget about Chuggs later in the day. The muffin vote was one of convenience because he couldn't have his real favorite votes of Natiko and Zipped. That last post of his does insinuate that he was going to come into day 3 with a big thesis on why Natiko is scum which is worth considering that he was killed to silence this. It's a leap and scum could have just easily killed HP for any number of other reasons but I want to consider it. malus doesn't really talk about Natiko at all so I think I'd rather look where malus was hovering instead but I want to keep this in mind for later that we do need to have serious thoughts about Natiko going forward. I'm still blind to that spot.

I accept that I’m gonna be under suspicion since I’ll openly admit to not putting a ton of dedicated time to the game, but I have prompted people to engage with me in an attempt to help bridge that gap. I can only engage with what is presented, and due to my limited time most of my posts are going to naturally be ‘catch-up/here’s my reaction to current event’ vs analysis on a topic I’m introducing fresh. I don’t intend to be a blind spot.

 

[Blargonaut]

I don't really have much of an opinion on Alexem, which is maybe more damning in itself since we are day 3 already. But his posts are fine, he seems to have no real link to malus, and the few times people have come at him, he's handled it like someone who has no clue what's going on so idk man, I don't think I want to dirty fight with him.

Because juggling this game with work and commuting isn't easy - I don't have an easy time tracking everyone in larger games, so I do what I can to work with the pieces that stand out to me the most. Also, Sorian said that he doesn't have much of an opinion of me - I don't appreciate being called "fucking clueless" and those are your words, not his.

ahaha I kid I kid I merely took Sorian's words of "someone who has no clue what's going on" and condensed that into the more concise single word "clueless"; my sincerest apologies regarding my use of "fucking", I merely added that to jokingly serve as an allusion to my prior post suggesting that you two should "fight dirty" (bc swearing is dirty) as I was trying to playfully emulate the part of a rude provocateur twisting & embellishing Sorian's words to be overtly rude on purpose (when he wasn't) in order to trickfully anger/goad you into engaging him based on a misunderstanding I poured into your ear, like a slapstick scene of "did you hear what that guy said about you" comedic theatre

I don't actually believe you've been clueless, fucking or otherwise

In fact I feel you've been quite insightful throughout the game thus far and that's where I found the humour in calling you clueless, because you really haven't been (I don't know why Sorian thinks you have no clue what's going on)

Forgive me the prank, you can call me fucking clueless or fucking any-adjective-you-want if you like anytime

I kind of like this interaction with Malus. I feel like scum wouldn't forget to put their own scum partner in a read list and I don't know if scum then calls it out? I dunno, it's not concrete, but It reads like Melon legit forgot he was in the game.

Nice catch, that looks good for melon

ehh I don't agree

forgetting to include someone in ur reads list? at most is NAI

but, hell I might say scum!melon "forgetting" to include scum!malus in their reads was bc they're scummates; as if scum!melon was afraid of inadvertantly drawing any attention to scum!malus thru crafting a Read of him for ppl to scrutinise & potentially notice something incongruent between it and the game-state innit

maybe scum!melon purposefully omitted scummate(s) whilst typing out that Reads List in order to more cautiously do em separately l8r after some rereads and screening in the scum thread, then missed selecting malus when copy/pasting their scummate!reads into the main body of txt eh?? That totally nvr happened to me b4​

when I'm scum I FEAR making mistakes like that​

(confession it's why I tend to b more reserved whilst Mafia-aligned)​

it could happen to YOU​

anyway Chuggs u trying to Townify melon's omission is weird sus #weirdsus and Ty u also weird sus for immediately Yesmanning chuggs like that, think about what you've done

Franconp, you said we killed the doctor day 1, but neon’s role was tank…

I feel like it's the opposite for me when I play scum and I would be hyper aware to include my scum mates on a read list like that.

The only other thing I'll say is I see Chuggs posts but I feel like he is coming to the polar opposite conclusions on his malus re-read than I did so I don't even know where to begin with that. It doesn't help that I still don't trust him and I think the malus posts make him look bad (which explains the opposite read on it probably).

Otherwise though, I don't know if I have much else to extract from this day. Aside from the usual loud people, everyone else seems to be quiet since they know the day is solved anyway.

@Blargonaut if you are actually poisoned, now is probably the time to tell us who you want to focus on. You are typically a very good solver when you are town but your posts today have named like 8 different people and even lists from one post to the next have been completely changed. Give us some concise leads to follow if you don't make it.

Also you should actually reread Nat and tell me why you think he's town

 

[Sorian]

Where do you go when I flip town

Muffin or Geno, I don't think malus makes that one post without including one of his teammates. Can't be Coppa and it's not nin. Maybe not a fair answer because that's where I go when you flip scum too, it's an independent read of you. The only thing that would change a little is who I prioritize because I think muffin makes more sense as your teammate, if you are town, I could actually trust your reads and you seem to like Muffin.

 

[The Wizard]

This interaction between malus and Chuggs on day 2 looks ood.

I kind of agree with this. We had four wagons going, why would Scum try to start a new one? Even if there was Scum on the block, there were plenty of alternatives to be pushed instead.

What do you think would be the motivation for Chuggs to start a new wagon so close to EoD? If you think he's protecting somebody, which wagon do you think is the most likely to be Scum?

Here we have malus agreeing with Cap that a scum Chuggs would not need to start a new wagon, so these look like a defense of Chuggs.

All that work, only to land on the most wishy washy Scum reads. I get that you just got burned by pushing Neon out, but that looks pretty weak.

Then immediately after malus throws some shade in Chuggs direction. It's notable that one of the wishy washy reads malus calls out here is an unqualifed vote for Geno.

Wishy washy? No man I think Muffin, Geno, and Nat are scum there's no "wellllll maybe?" there

It reads a bit like you don't want to be the sole pusher of those reads though. Also what about the Cap read?

Yeahhhhhh??? One vote. Cannot get scum out by myself. I need people to vote with me.
What about the Cap read? I don’t think he’s scum. I’m not going to fight that hard for him either

Chuggs seems to show a bit more annoyance here that he has in other scum reads against him.
---
The inconsistency in the flip flop from defense to shade is what stands out to me here, I feel like scum usually box in their reads one way or the other for consistency. I'm still leaning toward a town Chuggs here, in which case was it Chuggs encroaching on a partner that caused the flip flop? Muffin and Geno are the ones included in the quote malus has, I guess Chuggs also was sus of Nat at the time.

 

[The Wizard]

^ unqualified as in it's just a post with a vote on it's own. I just checked and it was cause Chuggs thought Muffin was bussing Geno at the time

 

[Sorian]

Also you should actually reread Nat and tell me why you think he's town

It's not a long re-read, I grabbed some quotes but honestly, I don't think it's even worth me making my post blockier with quotes. The big first thing I'll say is I can't ignore that Blarg claims to have roleblocked him, not exactly the biggest clear in the world but we still got a kill and maybe got a poison so there is that to consider. Past that, he has like 3 good posts while the rest are just him giving excuses or saying he will post more later (which sometimes he did, most of the time he didn't). Obviously, he has issue with you which means I have to debate how much of this is OMGUS but I'm also answering a question not made in good faith right now. I didn't say I thought he was town, I said I had a generally good impression of him. I remember scum Natiko being more conniving. All I'm getting here is a player who signed up for a game that they maybe didn't have enough time for. I even said it would be cool if something else solved this like how Zipped did with malus. He could absolutely be scum but none of his play points to any alignment, it's just what sounds like honest excuses to post more and then not doing that.

Chugg's whole demeanor, especially for the first half of day 2 was just constant annoyance. I don't think this is more than normal and the actual jump from defense to shade doesn't really read in a way where it disqualifies them from being teammates. I see what you are saying but I could also see malus realizing he's too heavily defending a teammate that was likely fine and decided to pull back a bit which caused the dissonance.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Sorry everyone. I’ve been preparing for a presentation tomorrow. When I’m home I will go over these claims, though when it comes to Malus…

once again: looking at turm

and I’m looking towards Chuggs as well. The further away I get from his claim, the worse I think I feel about it. Not to mention his interactions with Malus. Reading the posts above from Wiz, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that they are in cahoots. Plus, Chuggs has been haywire this game and I’ve been willing to flip that.

Melon (?) pointing out the “bad fruit” was also something I noticed but didn’t necessarily jump on. The entire fruit gambit seemed strange to me and now we have someone claiming they’re poisoned.

 

[Chuggernaut]

yeah that's not my role lol. i can just send the tier 2 to muffin tonight because he doesn't actually seem to care about his role. surely i can't rng fucked twice and if scum want to waste time messing with that it's on them

 

[Geno]

I think it's about time
Vote: malus

 

[Chuggernaut]

no stop that

 

[Geno]

Why?

 

[Chuggernaut]

because we're still discussing things

 

[Geno]

There were 3 posts in the span of 1.5 hours.

 

[Alexem]

Yep, there's still just under 24 hours available to us. Things have slowed down in the last few hours, that's true, but I think that's because most of the players who are currently around are happy to go with the red check. There are more players who'll check in later due to time zone differences, though, so they should have a chance to add to the thoughts that have been brought up today.

I don't think the outcome's going to change - when you see a red check, you flip it - but discussion time's important in a game like this.

 

[Geno]

Fine unvote

 

[Chuggernaut]

Yeah like we kill Malus here, but using the time we have in the day to think things through is still useful

 

[Blargonaut]

​

wait a fuckin' minute

Ty4on

+1 EXP for D1-start​

+1 EXP for eating Neon Ty didn't help eat Neon​

+1 EXP for D2-start​

+1 EXP for D2 even-Day terrain bonus​

+1 EXP for eating Cap​

+1 EXP for D3-start​

​

so during N2, Ty had 4 EXP

by this time, Ty had already claimed to be an RNG-based Commuter, whose alleged RNG Commutin' gets more & more %-successful the higher the Tier he uses

but now on Day 3, Ty announces that during N2, some kinda shopkeeper/merchant CHOSE TY4ON to visit to peddle their wares??

Was this "merchant" not paying attention that Ty had claimed to be a Commuter???

If this "merchant" was paying attention to the EXP distribution, do you really think they'd risk visiting a claimed Commuter, someone who might not even be there when they knocked? Under the risk that Ty could be deploying a Lvl. 2 Teleport??

Would this "merchant" waste a visit on a potential MISS??​

Would they really risk missing Ty?​

Unless the "merchant" opening their alleged chatroom, is a 100%-guaranteed hit on their target? Like it just happens?


Or Ty is lying to us

Maybe Ty just built some BS using nin's claim of being chatroomed during N1, as a foundation for a scum!gambit

nin can't corroborate that it was specifically a MERCHANT CHATROOM, so Ty is/was free to invent WHATEVER

"old newspaper" and it's just a copy/paste of cap's flip info? I can believe the absurdity given the absurdity of cap's Role, but it's just too neatly self-contained isn't it, a visit-claim built using public materials??

Ty claims he knows the identity of the "merchant"... well, I think it's NAI that the merchant reveals their identity upon visiting their target, selling wares like that could be any Alignment-aligned...

maybe Ty's granted this "infodump", for a scummate later to step in and say "I'm the Merchant, ppl I visited knew my identity and that's a good indication that mechanically I'm Town-aligned bc if I was scum or Neutral would GOD really allow my chatroom targets to know my name? It's such a shame that nin didn't pay attention during N1 but I assure you I'm Town and (scum!)Ty can vouch for me. Oh sorry I didn't visit anybody else bc I ran out of stock / was Roleblocked somehow / everything was somehow stolen from me, pity but I'm here now as Town"??????

uhh what if Ty is lying and bought that green potion and it was Poison and used it on me huh??

what if someone on the scum team is the "merchant" and visited scum!Ty and they did some kinda insider trading and then scum!Ty infodumped this (actually illicit) interaction onto us Today towards passing himself as an info-sharing type for soft Town cred huh????



WHY WOULD SOMEONE WHO IS A MERCHANT CHOOSE TY4ON, A CLAIMED COMMUTER WITH 4 EXP TO SPEND DURING NIGHT 2, AS THEIR TARGET TO SELL STUFF TO DURING NIGHT 2???????

WHY WOULD SOMEONE WHO IS A MERCHANT CHOOSE TY4ON, A CLAIMED COMMUTER WITH 4 EXP TO SPEND DURING NIGHT 2, AS THEIR TARGET TO SELL STUFF TO DURING NIGHT 2???????

Blarg, Ty had a chat with the shopkeeper so it's likely a day action, like a gossip. In that case they don't care if he commutes.

 

[Franconp]

Now, the shopkeeper made chats N1 and N2 (if that was the chat that Nin missed). So, they don't care about xp? It's not possible to use abilities N1 and N2. You can't have enought xp. Also why target Nin N1? That doesn't seem like someone who a townie would target. To me it seems like a neutral role.

With the info that we have I don't think they are bad so I don't think we should care much about them in the near future.

 

[Blargonaut]

GRAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Not much, but a little bit.
XP for items. I am pretty sure this was the only way we could trade.

How much did you spend??

 

[Blargonaut]

@Ty4on

I demand that you paraphrase with as much detail as possible (like sentence-by-sentence even) your entire conversation with The Merchant

I thought everyone kind of understood that if nin was telling the truth then the shopkeeper doesn’t use exp. It’s likely a day action to start the chat which means the shopkeeper literally did it day 1.

@Ty4on

He said they didn't chat much at all due to schedules. Only talked about items briefly and then the chat disappeared.

 

[melonrabbit]

kind of like this interaction with Malus. I feel like scum wouldn't forget to put their own scum partner in a read list and I don't know if scum then calls it out? I dunno, it's not concrete, but It reads like Melon legit forgot he was in the game.

I know my faults.

 

[melonrabbit]

I thought everyone kind of understood that if nin was telling the truth then the shopkeeper doesn’t use exp. It’s likely a day action to start the chat which means the shopkeeper literally did it day 1.

Then what are they spending their xp on? Hmm.

Like I can't think of way this works as town and no one has come forward. Is there a reason why Ty shouldn't just give the name at this point? I don't think we can discuss/solve much else with the info we have.

 

[melonrabbit]

There were 3 posts in the span of 1.5 hours.

And?

Why so impatient?

 

[melonrabbit]

but, hell I might say scum!melon "forgetting" to include scum!malus in their reads was bc they're scummates; as if scum!melon was afraid of inadvertantly drawing any attention to scum!malus thru crafting a Read of him for ppl to scrutinise & potentially notice something incongruent between it and the game-state innit

Im not that smart.

Either they use exp to stock the shop itself but can always invite people, or they are a neutral trying to get to some exp threshold to win, I don’t see any other avenue here.

 

[melonrabbit]

That would be rude they can invite ppl to an empty shop

 

[Sorian]

nin never really elaborated but he did say there was just a chat with nothing there so maybe actually lol

​

Totally unrelated to the game, but I'm liking that mechanical pencil.

Melon's echoing my thoughts on the shopkeeper, I really wouldn't be so quick to assume that it's a pro-town role. If the shopkeeper doesn't need to spend XP to pick a customer, then why do they need to accrue XP themselves from sales? The only reasons that I can think of are to meet a win condition or, potentially, to spend them on some kind of attack.

 

[Chuggernaut]

Why am I still here? Just to suffer?

imma make you sit there this whole ass day phase for you linking us like you did

 

[Alexem]

Chuggs, a quick question while you're around. Going back to the discussion about your role and the speculation that the fruit might have the capacity to make people unwell - you've mentioned that one of the shots can make skills more expensive to buy but, without quoting your PM, are you aware of any capacity for the fruit to have a poison effect?

For what it's worth, I'm leaning towards accepting your claim, but I'd just like to clear this bit of doubt for security.

it’s very clear it doesn’t do that. The word poison is nowhere in the PM

vote: Geno

I'm not sure I like Turmoil trying to get a counterwagon for Cap off the ground.

Another point where malus shades a Geno voter. Would malus call out turm here if they were teamed? Maybe because it tries to draw an association to a scum!Cap but a scum!turm would be trying to split the vote here and I don't think malus would call them out for that?

 

[Natiko]

After I had that little Q and A session with Fran about you, I came out agreeing with his generally positive opinion on you. So while yes, you are a blind spot to me, I don't actually see why HP scum read you. His write up actually would have been kind of nice just so I could get another angle on you but there's still enough players around that when you do poke your head up, I generally like the posts and then I don't worry about you because I'm secretly hoping something else will solve you for me. malus was in that camp too and Zipped took care of it for me.

That makes sense, and frankly I’m right there in agreement with you. I have no desire to be the poor bastard stuck in lylo that coasted along and now has to make the game end choice after playing half assed all game. My hope would be both myself and the overall game won’t let me hit a point where that’s a concern. I’ll have either stepped up and not been lazy or I’ll be dead through whatever manner.

Blarg, Ty had a chat with the shopkeeper so it's likely a day action, like a gossip. In that case they don't care if he commutes.

Yeah, from all the games I’ve designed or reviewed it is almost always handled that way.

That's good to hear, thanks for confirming that. It's a small thing, but it makes me feel better.

Wait - is the concern that you think his PM is misleading? I don’t think that would be allowed in this setup.

Wait - is the concern that you think his PM is misleading? I don’t think that would be allowed in this setup.

I think the concern is that Chugg's PM is vague. As he's described it, there's RNG and general uselessness about the role. melon and I had that little jokey moment about maybe his fruit is bad and made Blarg sick and even Blarg asked if waiting a day to send it would make the fruit spoil or something.

I think that's getting to in the weeds though, Chuggs would know if his fruit was bad or not (and tbh, this question was a little pointless because he would just lie about it anyway if it was bad).

I'm a little shocked we are still going today. My drive to solve is spent, I've already put all my thoughts out having to do with malus and HP, I feel like we are going in circles with benign mechanic talk. At this point it doesn't matter because we are past the threshold to do an early hammer and move the days up by one but I check in and see only 2-3 new posts with nothing really meaty to talk about.

 

[Alexem]

Wait - is the concern that you think his PM is misleading? I don’t think that would be allowed in this setup.

It's not that the PM might be misleading, I wanted to ask upfront if there might have been a risk of poisoning that Chuggs hadn't declared. I'm taking his answer on trust for the moment, but I know that's not concrete.

 

[Chuggernaut]

Yeah at this point we're kind of circling the drain Vote: Malus

The party wandered down the road through most of the day, not really seeing much, not really talking much either. However after a long day they came upon a figure standing in the middle of the road, cloaked in black.

BOSS BATTLE

The figure in the road laughed menacingly, raised his hands and brought forth an army of skeletons from the ground who immediately set upon the party. Whenever one skeleton fell the cloaked figure would raise it anew. The party was soon low on resources fighting all of the adds when they realized that if they did not attack the cloaked figure itself they would not get out of this battle. They then ignored the skeletons attacking them and turned their attention on the cloaked figure who was not able to withstand their blows for long and soon fell. After the fight the party lifted up the hood of the figure and saw the face of malus.

Malus has died!

Welcome to RPG Mafia!

You are the Necromancer and you are aligned with The Dark Forces of Aeredale (that is MAFIA).

You have the following abilities:

Tier 1 (2 exp): Undead Spies

This ability will allow you to Track your target to learn who they visited at night.

Tier 2 (4 exp): Ghoulish Interference

This ability will allow you to make your target Loved or Hated the following day phase. These modifiers will not work in a misvote and lose or vote and lose situation.

Tier 3 (6 exp): Corpse Shielding

This ability will allow you to Roleblock your target, preventing them from successfully performing night actions that night.

During the night phase if you want to exchange experience points for one of your available abilities you may submit the command via PM Learn: Tier X to learn your chosen ability.

- You can only learn and use each ability once in the game
- You do not have to learn the abilities in order, you can go in any order that you would like.
- You can learn and use an ability that same night, but it is not mandatory to do so.
- You can only learn and use one ability per night phase.
- Commands for how to use each ability will be provided after they are learned.

In addition to your abilities your faction also has a nightly factional kill. At night anyone from your faction may submit the command Kill: Target to perform it.

You also have the ability to vote each day.

You win when your faction controls the majority of votes at day start or nothing can prevent that from happening.

The game thread can be found here:

Good luck and have fun!

The party looked upon their once friend, wondering what happened to turn him and wondering if anyone else in their midst had the potential to turn against them. They settled into an uneasy camp that night, each member keeping to themselves and casting a wary eye on the rest of the party.

Night ends in:

Actions lock two hours before.

The following players gain 1 xp
Zipped
Sorian
Fran
turm
Nat
TWE
Chuggs
melon

Alex's vote came after majority has been reached and the dead can't earn xp.

 

[Hedin]

Actions lock in just under two hours

 

[Hedin]

Night actions are now locked

Just a heads up, I have somewhere to be shortly after day start so I might start the day 5-10 minutes early.

As the party woke up they all noticed that they had a flier on their blankets. The flier read:

Gah! Another morning, another death in Aeredale. It's becoming incredibly predictable, however I only just found my parchment, pen and ink.

Oh Blargonaut. Aeredale's bard. Killed ruthlessly. Already in a weakened state, the traitors in the party's midst took the shot and confirmed the kill. The day before he left he sang them a beautiful song of Heroes...of those stuck in the doldrums of hell...and of those scheming behind the party's back whenever they get the chance.

Natiko, Melon, TheWorthyEdge, Chuggs and Sorian.

Great probability that the Heroes of Aeredale's next target is in this company.

Ahaha! I must pause my use of the third person as he sang a name in the verse of our enemies that simply does not belong...he did not see it and I would have been but a dolt to interrupt his performance, but I gave thee a sly smirk and a gruff chuckle at the mention.

Glistening in the light, the blood on the ground around the party's Bard was an altogether familiar sight.

Another day. Another death. Another traitor to be killed. For if the Heroes of Aeredale shoot and kills another one of their own...well...it will be much more difficult for us to dispel the evil from our lands...

Clearly one other member of the party left them all the note but they did not sign their name.

As the party took in the flier and started to rise for the day they noticed one of them did not rise. As they went over to check on Blarg they discovered that he had died overnight.

Blargonaut has died!

Welcome to RPG Mafia!

You are the Bard and you are aligned with The Heroes of Aeredale (that is TOWN).

You have the following abilities:

Tier 1 (2 exp): Ballad of the Mighty Ragnarick

This ability will allow you to Strengthen your target so that if they use an ability that night it cannot be stopped nor manipulated.

Tier 2 (4 exp): Ode to the White Lilly

This ability will allow you to Roleblock your target, preventing them from successfully performing night actions that night.

Tier 3 (6 exp): Saga of the Wild Rose

This ability will allow you to be declared as an Innocent Child. You will be declared as the town Bard at the start of the following day phase. After you are declared as an Innocent Child you will be unable to be successfully protected for the remainder of the game.

During the night phase if you want to exchange experience points for one of your available abilities you may submit the command via PM Learn: Tier X to learn how to use your chosen ability.

- You can only learn and use each ability once in the game
- You do not have to learn the abilities in order, you can go in any order that you would like.
- You can learn and use an ability that same night, but it is not mandatory to do so.
- You can only learn and use one ability per night phase.
- Commands for how to use each ability will be provided after they are learned.

You also have the ability to vote each day.

You win when all threats to Town have been eliminated.

Good luck and have fun!

As the party finished building Blarg's cairn they heard ominous noises coming from over the hill. They ventured over the hill and saw a vast, dark forest in front of them. And then they also noticed the footprints that they had seen before leading into them.

The party has discovered the Monrath Forest!

All players gain 1 xp for discovering the forest.


Day 4 begins

Day ends in:

All players gain an additional 1 xp

Barg being the bard is great rng.

Some info in an hour when I'm home.

 

[Chuggernaut]

That filer isn't a Blarg ability? Do we trust that pool there or is that just someones reads?

 

[Sorian]

That filer isn't a Blarg ability? Do we trust that pool there or is that just someones reads?

I don't think that's an ability, isn't that just his reads list from one of his last posts? Also I'm confused, was a kill blocked or protected? He was poisoned.

 

[Geno]

What do people think about nin claiming loved and malus having an ability to be able to do that?

Yeah, but then why would that get posted? If it was a will you're not supposed to be able to put actual game stuff in there.

Also damn I just realized. So we might have gotten a save off

 

[Zippedpinhead]

I am baffled that I lived beyond last night.

blarg you shall be avenged!

 

[Sorian]

I think someone is just being cute with flavor tbh. If it was game related, there would be something in red or it would be in his PM. He was a bard and Blarg is loud about his reads.

 

[Aeleus]

Shucks I was hoping I'd log on to find I was dead :(

You let me down Geno

Did we ever get confirmation of that? IIRC he just "Didn't feel good"

 

[The Wizard]

RIP Blarg.
The flier kinda reminds me of something from Ducktales let me see if I can find it.

Well he’s dead, so there’s that. He seemed to think it was poison so I have no reason to really doubt him other than there’s only one kill here. I was expecting two. But his feeling unwell mixed with no one wanting to come forward and claim they did it to him reads to me like poison.

 

[Alexem]

What do people think about nin claiming loved and malus having an ability to be able to do that?

We know there's some role overlap between town and scum. Malus was a roleblocker, but so was Blarg and we know Blarg wasn't scum. Nin's shot could be a safety net for scum, true, but knowing that we've seen town and scum roleblockers, it's not something that can be automatically assumed.

 

[The Wizard]

Oh ok that was a Reporter who could share some bonus flavor text which hinted at night activity as long as they were alive, this seems different. Maybe just a will? Or it could be something to do with the newspaper Ty claims to have bought?

I suppose luck also wasn't on my side
