Off Topic mafia 5: game thread

Not sure how all your previous ones have gone, but the fact that 5 people (including reporter from what MITO said) can all kill - and that some can save up to kill more than once per night - means is can really swing drastically. Add that to lynchings, recruitments, etc. and the tide can turn very quickly.

It didn't necessarily pan out much in this game, but IF we had hit the right 2 people tonight, we'd have killed 2 Ities, also leaving the vigilante to take out the 3rd (already targeted as Trev/Morgan). So tonight could realistically have ended very differently from a landslide victory to complete annhiliation of the Italian mafia all in the same night. IF I had been paying more attention! THAT makes it very interesting, even if the posting numbers were generally low, the tension can still be high.

Speaking of which, simply due to it being a really bad week work-wise, I couldn't get on at all during daytime - except for 10 minutes a couple of lunchtimes - and not at all today/tonight due to access/network signal problems. Usually, I'd be a lot more active too. Likewise Magic obviously had personal priorities while Valley was either at the rugby, or just being a cnut!

 

My bad!

 

Probably the later given he's welsh

youll have to let us know if you guys do one on your board, be interesting to be involved with people not familiar with.

Although sounds like Is more A free for all over there and any opposition fans may not last long

 

Sure, I think the more the merrier. We've only played the once so far and nobody really had any tactics at first. As the one Mafia (or KGB) Don, I just led the way by picking on a Mackem and that was it, everyone saw red mist and there were killings every day - usually the innocents killing innocents, with some guidance from the KGB. I think an initial team of 4 beat about 12 or more. BUT having multi teams like yours is definitely interesting. Quicker, but really interesting. You have to think much harder.

Unfortuantley, it was a crap week for me personally and with limited time online I made some very bad calls at the end tonight, which probably cut the game short. If I'd been online more, I'd have been totally engrossed in analysing every comment for hidden meaning & patterns, etc.
But having 4 'teams' (including a lone nut-job) certainly adds some really good dimensions that we didn't have on the Toon version.

IF we can get another one going we'll let you guys know.

 

Yeah, would be nice to go into a game not being the number one target before it started for once

 

I feel your pain!

As Mafia (i.e. knowing you were not on my team) I thought you were doing a really good job for us and making it very easy. By the time i logged on most nights, you virtually had Townies lynched up. Now. seeing this thread, reality is is it looks like you had diddly squat help from you 'teamies'. Fcking hilarious!

Still think you made some random decisions too, but maybe that's easy for me to say when I know who was/wasn't in my team. I've only ever been Mafia, so not had the scenario of figuring out from zero and only trying to convince people I don't trust and probably don't trust me.

IF I do play again, baggsie I'm NOT on the same team as Magic and/or RHC!

 

Baggsie the Serial Killer but I propose he links up with the Hitman (someone plays this role)

 

Billy put that one in on night one before he knew anything early on many classifieds were poking him for some reaction

I think the fact he didn't react might be why billy investigated but I dint knoe

 

Everyone done the dirty work for me so I didn't need to force situations. I just hid among you

 

I even voted for Trev and then edited my post to which nobody picked up on

 

Vigi didn't get you - Mafia got you.

Lynching me would only work if you could also be sure of getting an Italian. As it was, you being so sure I was Mafia without any convincing public explanation meant we pegged you for having been recruited, as only the Italians could be sure I had a role. That's why I outed you as mason, but couldn't do it convincingly as the only way I could prove how I'd been identified was to admit I was the don. I think the Italians targeted you as well so you were done.

Then the journo fingered both me and Bobby as 100% Mafia, so we also took out Bobby as I figured the journo would have seen both me and the person who recruited me, so he was Italian don.

Haven't read back, but how did the journo (Billy IIRC) get that so wrong?

 

I was hoping to look like the journalist once the discussion turned to who likes to post images. My post saying the journalist got £1k per classified was quite close (actually £0.5k). I didn't post any classifieds to keep my head down and maybe use it later to bluff that the journalist couldn't post them.

No the journo (whoever he was ) didn't get to see the recruiter possibly because you declined. I didn't know then who you were or why you declined....there was a clue I missed in the money I was awarded that night but then I wasn't the only one missing clues eh the shoes.....I gave you 5 or 6 clues in the second paper, reporters name wrong, grandmaster being wrong the ****ing shoes....and about 4 other clues in the first paper as to Astro being goon, the Don is quoted in first paper saying "we won't give up an inch of our turf" and the header bottom right says "Italian goon with " stellar" bedroom secrets"....with hindsight I should have just blown Astro up but I wanted to see who he sided with and Nozzer was up for lynch anyway by a mile.

Second night I obviously wasn't intending to be cryptic at all as original paper was naming Astro....I knew hack was possible so left the mother of all clues in the classifieds. Third and fourth night I was blocked from asking questions but I'd like to point out in my selection of targets I had a 100% hit rate that those I chose to follow had roles Don't blame the journo coz you lot couldn't see the wood for the trees

 

When we hacked the paper I asked MITO to delete the details surrounding my accusation in case there was some code but he only changed "hashtag" to "Manctwat"

 

Actually a lot changed but originally I was told a hack would only get to change one bit....I was a bit pissed off you got to change both the articles tbh. Anyway I loved the journo role and game was pretty well balanced considering how many play

I think the mafia had it easy tbh...but that was down to luck of the draw. AFC as chief cop, Magic as Magic, RHC as replacement...we did well to make it to Friday #keystonecops

 

Then why were you so certain Bobby was Mafia in the final paper? That swung it for us, as we went for Bobby and Biscan instead of taking out Trev, which meant the town lost in the end.

 

No longer needs to be a sticky

 

Simple...guesswork. We knew you were a definite by then and bobby had been siding with you a lot the day before (and even more so after the paper). I'm sure it was IBWTs idea

Guys beford this thread is officially closed and consigned to the archives, can we all just spare a thought for poor old Less Hope Than Neville.

In the one and only Toon KGB/Magia game so far he was assigned as a standard innocent with no powers. He was hopelessly lost and didn't have a clue. He made a daily plea to his fellow team members with powers to come forth and guide the innocents, who were losing badly. Due to this vulnerability, he got 'played and drawn in by a deceitful KGB don (whoever that was ). Having unwittingly helped the KGB pick off his colleagues, Less Hope was killed off, finishing on the losing team.

He spent the 6 months since then pleading for JPF to set up another game so he could seek revenge.

No game!

So imagine his excitement when he heard about this one. He couldn't wait to get his own back.

The roles were allocated and Nev was... a standard innocent with no powers. Oh well, still a chance of being on the winning team. Maybe.

He gets in late at the end of play on night 1, having not posted...to find you lot had already lynched him!!

Poor Nev. Maybe next time mate!
