LOL

So sorry guys! We had another audience mini game for you which was Sparks would ask a question that could be answered in yes or no, but he didn't ask a question before day 1 and he died today so that segment will never happen. However Hedin will be posting the other mini game!

Well, god damn. Gossip Chat tonight is just fire.
Gossip chat right now :thisisfine:

Oh BTW... we are now allowing spoilers. Now that Sparks is dead, there's no reason to keep it completely spoiler free. \o/

Just pointing out we would have ended the spoiler free talk day 3 because that's the last day Sparks could ask a question.

Ahem...attention! I said attention! Is this thing even on? I should remind everyone that these after hour staff meetings do not count as overtime so it's in all of our best interests to hurry this up.

Right, thank you. Now as some of you know we recently discovered a dusty old package in the back of the warehouse. Embarrassingly it appears it was sent to this branch five years ago for delivery but uhhh, yeah that didn't happen. It seems too much work to try to deliver it now and try to explain things so in the grand tradition of the United States Postal Service it will be distributed to our own employees. To counter any accusations of impropriety we're going to send it to the branch to the town west of us, they keep having to fire people over there and could probably use the morale boost. Before you leave today nominate someone in that branch using the Highlight tag to receive whatever is in that box.

Also don't forget about the branch picnic this weekend and the raffle for the large lost package we received from Chicago last week. Proceeds from the raffle will go towards the annual holiday party liquor fund.

I could tell my perception of the game was getting sideways when I start having flashbacks to the game where i was in a lovers chat with sorian and whoever

just no fucking clue

I remember there being a bread crumb about missing glasses

all the other things i can remember I was constantly thinking "WOW IS THIS SCUM CHAT BUT WITH TOWN?"

being in a gossip chat with sorian fucked me up so bad

Imagine the congitive dissonance of half ass paying attention to a non bastard mafia game but also being in a gossip chat with sorian

Imagine that congitive dissonance

Blarg is fucking coastin

like literally coasting

his ass should be called out for it

I literally died so he could be alive

the least he could do is literally shitpost memes or something (when he's not busy)

Having skimmed through most of D2, I will say that I am pro Blargonaut and anti Chuggernaut.

Those are my reads.

Other than that, love how flavorful the game is now with the post office and the messenger roles, fantastic job on all of that, looking forward to seeing how it plays out lol.

lol just realized i can reveal this.

The reason why this game is bastard is purely so I could hide the twist that everyone is a messenger. I didn't want everyone starting out knowing they were because those with a power alongside messaging would realize something was up, and if I called it post office mafia, the twist would be too obvious once people unlocked their message powers.

So I made the game bastard and hid the flavor purely to hide the mechanical twist of the game so the first night at last we'd see what would happen when a player is told they are a messenger and what they might do if they think they are the only one with that power.

of course i had the original idea and some plans for the roster, but my reviewers and Vere are what help making the game truly special c:

Just caught up, holy shit what a bad vote. Sparks was so painfully obviously town. Shame on whichever townies are on that vote. Ephi is definitely scum. Two scum are probably on the Sparks train (Ephi and Stan or HP would be my guess). Third scum is probably fucked off away from the main wagons so that would be wee or Salva. If there isn't an extra kill or a neutral exit I think they could flip my entire list before game end, and I'd bet money doing so would net a victory. Everyone on the Ephi wagon is locked town in my book.

Also didn't get to mention this earlier but I was deeply saddened to see Geno voted out, not only for him getting taken out day one for the 3rd game in a row, but also because the tracker was one of the most important roles in this game.

I fought tooth and nail to have the tracker be unlimited with the justification of there being a lot of noise from the mail and other powers.

But nope :< :< :< These players denied me that DX Also the tracker was the best way of holding everyone accountable.

Also will say this now that I can't reveal the flavor info for the newly dead player just yet :eyes:

Hi all, sorry about that Sparks, I genuinely did suspect you although I also had ulterior motives. Amazing game concept, Loki and Vere. I'm so looking forward to seeing that google doc of the messages!

I see that my message made its way out XD

:D I'm glad someone is excited about the message doc. It seems unfair to not sure all of them at the end of the game especially in showing who the intended targets were XD

But whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?! Have you played with scum Sparks before? Lol

Muh BOI Chuggs is gonna drag town in the right direction. If Ephi isn’t the vote today then there better be a GOOD ASS REASON TOWN.

Actually now that you mention it I don't think I have XD

Also
I had checked Ephi and really wanted to keep her alive to complete the parity check in case it somehow ended up being a double clear. I was so proud of myself for resisting checking myself!

:eyes: Wanna know what the result would have been between your two targets of Chuggs and Ephi?

D3 madness has started to set in earlier than expected. I advise central to send some "package carriers" to oversee the situation and keep things under control. Oh, and someone has apparently farted over all the outgoing mail.
 

Hawthorn

I'll explain my reasons later
Fuck. No way. I don’t know if I’d be more upset that my first read on Chuggs was right or that I’m SUPER wrong on Ephi.

Feeling pretty smug right now about the people in the thread criticizing me, a poor dead person, for not going for the obvious Chuggs/Ephi chain-vote-out

My answer to Stan's message:
With its flashlight app my phone
Is with me as I walk alone

I venture left -- but wait, what's this?
The sudden darkness makes me miss

My step. No good -- the batt'ry's dead
On trusty phone. The icon's red.

The flashlight's gone. So back I go.
Sunglasses on, it's rightwards ho!

I don't trust ATP at all at this point. Also, somebody needs to keep making a list of the message claims, they keep forgetting what people said XD
He's a gossip. Do you think that's really scum in this game?

IDK, I could see it working with the flavor, but it does point against it.

Sorry to do this yet again, but I must break out the spoiler tags

I never got the message he claimed to send me revealing what Blarg said to him in the gossip chat, but I did get other mail the night I died. Too much blocking going around.

I don't think they will vote out Chuggs, I don't think there is enough of a push outside of ATP with it. Still fascinating though.

This game is an excellent case study in why finding town is often better/more fruitful than trying to find mafia.
You should always ask yourself when it's dead here: who's solving and who's just pushing the boat along? Scum will be in the latter, stop pelting the former.

Yep. It's really, really hard to maintain a townie facade and get in the middle of the solving when you are scum, and to do it for days and days. It's SO hard.

Now, with Chuggs here, that's an outlier case - he absolutely can do it (sort of; he's in the mix at least), but it changes his behavior and that's not apparent here. Chuggs is town all the way down. HIs frustration is palpable, but so are his attempts to solve. You don't even have to get into the claim. He's just town.
 

Ephidel

How do you do, fellow mafia?
There were a couple of points where I did too. The hope is the cruellest thing :p

It's kind of you to say though because my play felt like one long string of fuckups from my perspective, heh, but it was a learning experience.

So guys... wanna give a package away? I just uh... found it sitting right here so might be good to give it to the player you feel most deserves it before someone notices I stole it

Please say their name in highlighted text.
