Chimaera Mafia (game thread)

Maligorn

This was a wild ride, fun to watch.

Cyndarin

Good game. I was on to you Ssaliss!

Enyalida

I got killed kind of at random early on, and didn't get to use any powers or role claim or anything :C

One thing I am surprised at though, is how nobody argued that on night 1, scum either would have had to perform a no-kill, or they must have targetted the jailed target. During the game, no one but scum knew that there was an arsonist about, and since Enyalida was scrubbed, that knowledge died with them. And since the doctor was proven town and explicitly said that they were roleblocked, and the rolestopper claimed that he hadn't protected anyone during night 1, Ssaliss was really the only solution left as to why scum couldn't kill night 1.

Given how contentious no-lynch was on Day 1, I actually thought no-kill seemed like a pretty reasonable guess, forcing us to fight amongst ourselves even longer.

I kept wondering what your power was! I figured you had to have done something in the night we weren't taking into account!

Tarkenton

Ugh.  Was so incredibly pissed about Ssaliss.  First night, I figured he'd gotten saved by a protector.  No big.  Still seemed like a good target to take out on night two.  Night two comes, bam, big scary chimera again.  Well, damn.  Okay, well, he's still tweaking people and irritating them, and it'll make other people look bad.  Night 3, eff whatever protector, guarantee kill him.  Aaaand...well, he's alive again.  WTF KIRA, WTF.

And then I get lynch trained, and watch Tremz play people pretty well for a bit.  Was fun.  10/10, will not target Ssaliss ever again.

@Kiradawea , I followed this thread mainly for your dungeon master storytelling bits. I'd never sign up to play one of these, but following the story was fun.

Azureus

How many spectators did we have? Like obviously anyone can check in, but if I'd realized so many people were watching with interest I probably would have been more nervous about looking dumb!

I have to say, I would've loved to see your reactions to that

I'm sorry. ;-; But I couldn't really not make Ssaliss the vampire after I'd designed the game up like this. I was screaming internally "don't do it. Don't do it" by night 3. But... better luck next time?

Thanks. I put a lot of effort into em, so I'm glad to hear that they were appreciated.

I kind of feel like the mafia threads are the equivalent to Lusternian reality TV, complete with voting players off the island!

I was definitely spectating. I don't like to play mafia nearly as much as I like to linger on the sidelines and guess what's going on.

So what were your guesses?

=========== Edit: Quotes are bad.

I totally thought it was Luce at the end, there! I didn't factor in a third party killer at all with the lack of kills at the game's start, and role conversion wasn't even on my radar. My belief that Enyalida might've been mafia all but went out the window when Tremula came up scum and the game still went on, so I figured there had to be another one still lurking. Woops! 

Though I will say that if Luce had been lynched and turned up town, Ssaliss was next on my list of suspicious people. Everyone else's night actions had pretty much been cleared as true in some way, but kills were happening. I'd trusted his allegiance to town until then because I thought it would be pointless to give a mafia member a nightkill immunity in a game where no town members had kills. Little did I know. Tricky!

Luce

To be fair, Allyrainne had a kill, we just never got to use it.

Shonjir

Spectating was a lot of fun, I was very impressed by the level of detail in the backstory.

=D>

Tremula

I'm glad I was able to get away with what I was able to. Honestly, I was ready to give up two nights before I died, but urging from Tarkenton and Kira kept me going. The third-party was a big surprise.
