Yeah, same.

We have a 1-in-8 chance of being correct if we lynch you. Anidav has made loving huge mistakes, but nothing outright has proven he's scum. We have a crap set of data, but voting for him is statistically more unsafe than voting for you, or anyone else on the list.

While digital corruption is what threatens the game itself, what threatens the characters themselves is madness. The sun sets on Day Four, with most of the characters as disoriented as a first time Super Mario Galaxy player. The day has seen much belly aching about what should or should not be possible, what the rules would or would not permit.

In Miyamoto-san’s living room, the stench of dog food grows stronger. Far off in Dim Carcosa, great old C++hulhu laughs maniacally.

A consensus begins to form among our characters.

“I think it’s time for a bit of revenge.”

“Revenge?”

“Yes, revenge. Who among us has not felt the sting of Kat Delacour’s bite?”

“I agree! She’s hosed up my third lap far too many times.”

“I bet she’s a GMO. I bet she is.”

“Then it is decided. Get the secateurs.”


Kat Delacour - Potted Piranha, Clean (Town) Vanilla - has been lynched!

Morning light rolls in. Dread continues to run rampant throughout Mushroom Kingdom. Dread, and incompetence.

A lowly Koopa Trooper, devoid of hope or optimism, visits the dwelling of one of our characters. The Trooper knocks once. No answer. They knock twice. No answer. They force the door and rush inside.

On the table there is a note.

“If you are reading this, I am now dead. Cut down in my prime, like so many of my brethren. Another one of us fallen in the line of duty.

We sign up for this job knowing full well that we gamble with our lives. What we realise only too late is that those we serve and protect don’t like us, and don’t trust us. The systemic oppression that makes up my people’s past has ruined us. It was decided long ago that we would be perceived as feckless henchmen, as tools of the oppressor. I now understand that this decision can never be revoked. The badge I’ve carried has done nothing to change it.

And so it is that one more of us has been crushed underfoot, forced onto the early retirement that carries no government pension. I try to tell myself that I’ve made peace with my fate - that I’m okay with it. I tell myself that I’m too tired to carry on anyway - too tired and too old. I remind myself of all those nights spent trying to wipe away the horrors I’ve seen. All those nights spent chasing at least temporary relief through booze, cigarettes, mushrooms, and anime. I remind myself that it never really worked.

But, in truth, I am not resigned. I hate that I couldn’t solve this case. I hate that it beat me.

I hope that my killers will be caught, tried, and punished. As the great philosopher Wolf once said: In the Mario justice system, squashing-based offenses are considered especially heinous.”

The Koopa Trooper turns the note over, and finds one final line.

“And THAT’S how you post like a detective.”


MysticalMachineGun - Goomba, Clean (Town) Cop - has been killed!

I don't actually know/care who is scum at this point because we have lost so thoroughly that we don't have a chance anyway (and my incompetence is assured by the fact that I don't know how we should have acted differently) but I feel like for the people who are going to continue playing Mafia after this that we should just flip as many repeat players as we should so people can get a feel for how they act when they are scum or town

Unless all roles get revealed anyway at the end in which case let's just vote whomever

If anybody is on board I want to vote Gwynplaine

Fruity and ODC are actually higher on my current scum list than Anidav but I think we're pretty hosed, so I'm voting purely for the pleasure of lynching Anidav for his posting crimes against humanity. We may not win but at least we get to kill anidav. If he's scum then we get a scum kill, if he's town then I will be in the "always d1 lynch anidav" camp from here to eternity.

Okay, something is utterly hosed here.

I targeted MMG as the doctor last night, got an action successful, and yet here he lies dead.

I'm going to posit a theory which may make me look completely loving stupid.

I'm not sure there is a scum team at all, I think TOMLs talk of making a perfectly mathematically balanced mafia game has been cover for the ultimate: making a mafia game in which there is no scum and watching auspoo rend itself limb from limb with a random nightly mod kill.

I'm guessing night 1s double kill was the presence of a one-shot vigilante(perhaps combined with another role)

Feel free to murder me if you think this is totally bonkers because after a successful doctor action still doesn't prevent a night kill I don't know what the gently caress anymore.

A strongman hit might go through the doctor's protection? Or another unstoppable ninja.

quote:

The game's standout concept, patented by Nintendo,[5] is the "sanity meter", a green bar on screen which is depleted by various events, generally when the character is seen by an enemy. It can be restored by such actions as performing a "finishing move" on an enemy or casting a restorative spell. As the bar becomes low, subtle changes are made to the environment and random unusual events begin to occur, reflecting the character's slackening grip on reality. If the bar remains empty, further damage to sanity decreases the player character's health.

One effect which is consistently used is a skewed camera angle accompanied by whispers, cries, and unsettling noises. The lower the sanity meter, the more skewed the camera angle and the louder the sound effects. Fourth wall breaking effects include simulated errors and anomalies of the TV or GameCube (one effect being a Blue Screen of Death); this does not affect gameplay unless the player misconstrues them as actual technical malfunctions and attempts to correct them. There are many different sanity effects, and their length depends on each effect. Not all effects will necessarily be encountered during a given run through the game. A few more commonplace examples include sounds, such as footsteps, women and children screaming, doors slamming, the rattling of chains and the sound of a blade being sharpened; the player character finding him/herself walking upon the ceiling after entering a new room; walls and ceilings bleeding; the volume being lowered, accompanied by a fake television volume indicator on the screen; and the appearance of large numbers of monsters that are not really there, and disappear when attacked. Some sanity effects are character- or area-specific and reflect the individual's personal fears or experiences or take advantage of environmental features (such as a statue whose head turns to follow the player). When the sanity effect is finished, everything goes back to normal and the character often utters a panicked statement to the effect of, "this can't be happening!"
