While trying to murder Yomoigu I actually saved a draft during the deadlock saying maybe we had become so wrapped up in our deadlock that we were letting people slip by, and I accused Lavinya.
but I never posted it because I thought people would take it as deflecting and lynch me.
Also I'm terrible at playing town and got everyone wrong the whole game. Awkwardly Selenity and I were simultaneously wrong and right about each other the whole game until the end.
Known Aliases: Celina/Cyndarin/Fire Jesus/The Night/That Bitch who griefed us
5. Maybe announcing limited cult recruitment ahead of time would be better?
No, but you should make sure the cult head has a very, very clear idea of how their mechanics work. I did not enjoy trying to grapple with how purposefully vague my role was, and could only hope I was pushing towards misinformation with my early dayphase theoryspinning.
I pretty much knew right away I wasn't going to last because I had to keep second guessing just what I could do, and that's more frustrating than fun.
Fun fact, I totally only intended to keep Ush around as an easy lynch if we couldn't adequately pressure other people. Which just turned into endless frustration with all the stupid kill immunity that day... but at least I got that all out of the way for Morgypie.
Special shoutout to @Dylara for knowing her sistah so well. I actually agreed with her, I was tilting pretty hard and it was obvious imo. But somehow that got her lynched. She just can't win as vig - see also Michael in Gods and Monsters.
@Sylandra I knew you could turn everyone against me so I had to remove you and hope for the best. I honestly have no idea how I lasted so long haha. This was an awesome game and I admit I was pretty proud of coming up with Zvoltz and the flavour of the powers I had (and a made up one) but you saw right through it so DIE, SPANNER IN MY WORKS!
ohoho awesome. Finally a role that does something!
Just clarifying but I presume only one of us does the kill, but on the off night we have the option of Fain recruiting or checking to see if someone is recruitable? And if Morgfyre successfully performs the kill, he gets more powers? (Love that flavour, ha).
I guess that is important. For role wise, you are considered a pseudo cultafia but with limited recruitment. For game wise, you are considered soulless due to elixir.
Traitors: You win when all Soulless are defeated and the rest of the Elders pose no threat (have a majority over town).
Eugh, good grief I have no idea what to do or try. Just for clarification's sake, is the disruption field meant to let me relay PMs here during the day if I activate it? I'm still a little confused on that one.
I suspect sending out a cult invite to an incompatible party will result in an obvious "teh Fain offurz u pots but u sez nowai". Should we information fish for tonight?
I think so too. I imagine there will be eyes on Xeii bit maybe going after a less contraversial person like Falmiis would be successful? If you think it's too risky I'm ok with you getting a clue instead.
You sit, patiently waiting for Falmiis, when all of a sudden the First World shakes and thunders around you when Falmiis comes walking in. You can see the Basin changing around outside behind Falmiis, but Falmiis is alone as you wait for him.
"Krokano! We have some matters to discuss."
"Morgfyre! This is a surpr..."
Before he even finishes, you plunge through Falmiis, grabbing his essence and consume it. When you finish your work with Falmiis, Someone appears out of the Shadow.
Slaay the Hidden: As a member of the Dark Cadre, you follow Morgfyre's lead. Your expertise is in the hidden knife, the subterfuge kill within the dark. One time, you may use Slaay the Hidden to kill someone, they will die on the next night. This is a one time use and can be used at the same time as Fain's Elixir. Just Slaay (person)
Okay. For clarification, Slaay is one of Morg's powers, right? I thought that was a hint at first, but now I have no idea.
Lavy, I really got no idea what to be doing. I feel like I'm not going to last much longer, so I kind of want to try to convert someone tonight. Some reason or another I feel like it might be fun to pitch a shot at Phoebus. Thoughts?
Slaay is a power that Lavi gained, yes. You can probably estimate what the next few powers named she will gain, sorry I did not make that clear. Any power that Lavi (or other traitors) have can be used in conjunction with Fain's power, the Elixir.
If you kill without using a Power, you can't use the Elixir or ask for a hint on recruitment. If you use a power, you can still either kill/recruit.
Note: If you fail a recruitment, the attempted conversion target will be notified of an obscurely unrelated request, but not of your true intentions, with one obvious exception that will only reveal your intentions, not your identity due to the masked ball.
Okay, that's good to know. I swear though, my current state is so horrible for this role, hahaha. I want to play risky but it'd also be pretty lame if I flopped majorly. And I just can't be around often like I was today - today was one of my day's off and as soon as I'm working again it'll be scant posting once more. Oh well.
Actually, wait a sec. The elixir flavour script specifically states "player" instead of "players". If there's only one person we can even recruit, then I guess it has to be Malmydia. Meeerf.
Well, whatever we do tonight I should probably be the one acting.
Hmmm well it would be pretty amazing to recruit the other players. We know Malmydia, any thoughts on the other? I'm already under heat for being dumb early on. I plan to claim Slaay as my role if I am pushed to it as a Vig and outline the above power but only if I really really have to.
I agree we need to recruit. I'm not sure if we can safely approach Ushaara tonight though. Also Silv I'm presuming that text to slaay needs to be done in game during day?
I wonder if Tremula is Drocilla. She seems so excited to RP her role it wouldn't surprise me. But that's a bit of a stab in the dark. I'm open to suggestion, Vivet!
Oh no I am sorry, the Slaay is a night power, not a day power, and it can be used at the same time as Vivet's powers. I can see how that is confusing now the way I worded it.
Next time I will be your proof reader and share the popcorn. Because holy cow day two. Ok thank you, good to know! I can still claim a one-off Vig power, sweeeet.
You were both eagerly awaiting on what to do next, sitting and chatting about who would be the best fit, when all of a sudden, a sword comes slashing through the air and slicing Vivet from top to bottom, completely destroying Fain.
Raezon and Ghesia look to Morgfyre as the person to lead us going forward, and ask him:
If the fates decided Lavinya was best fit for Morgfyre, then who would best represent Drocilla?
Morgfyre's new role sheet:
Traitors: You win when all Soulless are defeated and the rest of the Elders pose no threat (have a majority over town).
Twelve Traitors: They will brand us as traitors if we fail, but we are the only hope for survival against the Soulless. The Soulless will not stop until we stop them, and we are the only ones able to stop them. They have betrayed us by denying us our only chance at victory. You may exchange messages freely during the night with other members of your group, but due to your nature, your group must attempt a kill every other night.
Forbidden Elixir: Our only chance for victory. You will have the ablity to recruit members to your Mysteries, though limited selections do exist. Your team can either kill someone during the night or choose to recruit a member, but due to your nature, your group must attempt a kill every other night. You may also ask for a clue on the player who you may recruit instead of killing or recruiting.
Dark Cadre: You are the leader and tactician and by all accounts have consumed more Essence than any other. Your strength grows rapidly and with each kill, you become stronger. And as you become stronger, those in your Formation feed off your strength. Every successful kill will add powers to your arsenal.
Slaay the Hidden: As a member of the Dark Cadre, you follow Morgfyre's lead. Your expertise is in the hidden knife, the subterfuge kill within the dark. One time, you may use Slaay the Hidden to kill someone, they will die on the next night. This is a one time use and can be used at the same time as Fain's Elixir if you were not the leader. Just Slaay (person) during nighttime.
Now that Fain is gone, you finally have control of the Elixir and the course of action. And now, especially with Fain gone, you can get rid of that annoying witch, Lisaera. You know she is always floating around the Forests, it was easy to find her and eat her essence. Part of being the leader of this band now, you have to make some sacrifices, so you brought someone along to share Lisaera's essence:
Thax the Machine: Only once, you can be rebuilt during the day, this is a twilight power, usable after a lynch, simply post RESET DAY in bold. The day will start over, all votes will be removed, the lynch will reset, the day will continue on as normal, all votes can be recast the same way.
I may regret this later but I think if I don't attempt it I will have no chance at winning. I need to recruit Ushaara please and hope to Nil he's left alone.
Humming to herself, Malmydia traced a long finger over my wounds. She painfully pulled off torn strips of flesh. Then, she began using her instruments. They poked and prodded into my wounds, then probed deeper and deeper into my flesh. The pain became abominable, and I began to squirm under her hands. The power in the instruments flared with energies that turned from frigid cold to blazing hot. I swear at one point she shoved her entire fist into my skull, grabbing ahold of my spirit and stretching it out. I finally could take no more and screamed. I begged her to stop, over and over and over, I pleaded. Each time, she'd pat my hand and say, "There, there. We're almost done."
But Malmydia was far from done. It went on and on. I struggled. I wept. I raged and entreated. I tried to summon the reserves to free myself, but my strength was sapped away by the fluids being pumped into me. Several times I began to lose consciousness, which would have been a mercy, but she would pause and summon energies that brought me back to vivid awareness.
Traitors: You win when all Soulless are defeated and the rest of the Elders pose no threat (have a majority over town).
Third Circle: As a healer, you have the ability to rebuild those who have been destroyed using the Elixir. You may block any death, regardless of the means, of any Traitor. This can stop any activated power, day or night. (except lynching which is actually exile).
Consumption: Anytime you kill, you will gain a new power to better use your abilities.
It's a one off, and it is an activated power via message. Just bold save (person) after someone has died, and everyone will see a message similar to Thax returning.
You can only do two kills if you both used your powers.
I'm so glad we found portius. I can't help but feel othero might be scum. Killing breandryn would also be good. Can we both kill and use slaay power? I'd like to see if i can earn something else with another kill and if i could kill and slaay...well, awesome.
I think we can only kill + Slaay tonight if I am the one doing the regular kill? But if you want to go for a regular kill for more powers go ahead. I've gotten this far without any.
Am expecting some more attention tomorrow, since there's no other clear Soulless/Traitor, but will try keep spinning the Nemach as Traitor theory a while longer.
Will have to see what sort of verbal gymnastics are required to escape another lynch.
So if you use Slaay tonight, can put me down to kill Breandryn. If you use regular kill, that's fine too.
So i think extra powers are hard to pass up. I'd like to do a regular kill and I agree getting rid of Breandryn is a good move. If Ushaara is ok with that lock it in
Grunella the Bloody: You may either execute any player who has a vote placed against them that is not your own or kill someone through any protection. One time use any. Either EXECUTE (player) during the day or STRONGARM (player) at night.
Yeah, it'll protect either one of you one time. It'll include a fluff message about a third circle healer helping you out but that's it on information. It's done via PM, at any point after your death but before my acknowledgement of it.
Wishful thinking perhaps, but do Thax/Gruenella etc. count as Traitors for the outnumber win, or do we really have to get numbers down to 2 of us, 2 of them?
I was thinking the same! Going to think on how best to name my powers. Curse Sylandra. Though if I am going down, I'm going to spite vig someone on my way! And going to reset the day for funsies.
Amazing, hahaha. Both of us act tonight? Me kill and you Slaay?
If we can survive Soulless and get our actions through jailings, we'd start tomo with.. 8, lynch Yomo, 7, Slaay kill, 6, nightkill, 5, but then you're the likely lynch...
I think you'll be a goner once Yomo flips, but if Soulless can get a kill before they go, we might actually fluke this. But think Yomo's on a jailing tonight and we're likely to double target...
If I was Yomo, I'd probably try kill one of us. He knows you're lying, and whatever way he might think I will flip, it'd put emphasis on a Traitor discussion which might just be enough of a distraction for him to slip through the lynch.
-Hopefully- he goes for someone else though.
Good thing is he probably didn't use his strongman on Shaddus, so he might have a lynch immunity and take two lynches to remove. :?
But I'd expect him to try push the lynch on us tomorrow though, with a "I jailed Lavinya/Ush and definite Traitor" play.
But if he doesn't target us tonight, don't think Selenity/Fyler would be targeted either, since Selenity would shrug attack off and Fyler splinters.
I don't know if Weiwae will jail Yomoigu again though, since he may think Yomo killed Breandryn and is jail immune off Othero's wording of the attack?
Meaning he'll probably jail you/me, or one of Lehki/Dylara/Phoebus.
So I'll be likely going for one of Dylara/Phoebus, since they're getting to the point where they're determined to lynch me, even if it may not be their own best move.
Very wary of Breandryn's gifts too. Need to look back over the thread to see what nights she actually passed one off. Would imagine Weiwae got one.
I think Dylara - she wanted you gone but didn't push as hard as Phoebus, so it benefits you without being an obvious revenge sort of move. I wonder what would happen to Fyler if Selenity is taken out? I was thinking maybe of using slaay on her? Lehki wants to find the soulless more than us so feels safer to keep around, and Weiwae has all but confirmed us, ha. Though offing the jailer makes sense, I hope the soulless go after it instead. Unless....I slaay him?
Hmm, would Slaay work on Selenity? She seemed pretty confident that she didn't need protecting.
I could go for Weiwae though. The double jailer thing is already weird and having him flip town is just another nail in the coffin for Yomo. Only worry there is if there's another immunity in play from a Breandryn gift or something. Though it would make our next night phase easier having him gone. And with Yomo around, I should be able to survive the Dylara/Phoebus inquisition a bit longer.
We're high risk whatever we do...
So maybe me for Weiwae, and you Slaay Dylara is best option?
Hopefully Silvanus will be kind and Slaay will be unblockable since stealth killer and all.
Bloodredi: Being the only member of the Twelve to seek Fain out, Bloodredi's creations took on a grotesque form. You may use his Scorpions to roleblock one person a night. You may only do this two times. ROLEBLOCK (person) at night.
Looks like the inquisition will still be going strong against me so lynch Yomo is a goer, yep. Will probably have to try be around bit more to stop a quick lynch against me.
Good with Dylara, yep. You want to perform the kill?
Not sure how useful Blooredi roleblock will be given Selenity's power is still restricted until Celina splinters, and seems only other power in play is Soulless kill.
Was thinking to maybe try pass it off as an arson prep, and hope people would believe Phoebus flipped to Traitor when Lisaera died. Elfenehoala taking Blooredi's 'sought out the Traitors' role in the game etc.
Though if it's not going to be visible if it doesn't block, who knows if that'd work
Maybe I should block Yomo so that he doesn't kill me/you?
There'd be 6 in play with Dylara out, so 4 to lynch. Likely votes
Me: Phoebus, Yomo Yomo: Me, You
Selenity is a wildcard and flip flops her vote so who knows who she'd go for. She doesn't trust either of us, but at least has been more vocal calling to lynch Yomo.
Fyler was leaning Yomo today, so hopefully would go for it again?
Hopefully enough in Othero's info, and Yomo's shifty claim to persuade the votes his way.
Still a risky plan but we'd win the following night? But by highlighting the block, it would possibly be harder to get him lynched, so downsides too.
Though could cast doubt on claim of roleblock appearing late game when it hasn't ever featured before.
We can both use a power if we don't kill right? So theoretically you role block yomo and i slaay someone, which would give us 2 kills the next night right?
Hmm, that could work, and a no-kill Night to figure out with no jailer in play would be extra confusing. Just need to be sure we can stick the Yomo lynch.
Hmm, a no-kill Night could actually be spun as Illith vs Nemach blocking each other, and help mislead toward the Traitor faction starting as Nemach + Fain theory.
Successful roleblock on Yo and kill on Dylara! Lavinya gained:
Ivanko the Cruel: Infamous for delighting in torture and pain, Ivanko's true speciality is in mutiliating their victim beyond all recognition. One time only, the person you kill will be janitored away to everyone else, but you will know who they were at least. Ivanko (person)
Sorry! I was crazy crazy busy preparing my newly acquired second shop for opening and didn't get a chance to get back to the thread before now. Glad it worked out ok! (I will totally bandwagon a lynch on you in retaliation, muahaha).
Hey! No worries, I saw your absence post thing a bit after the fact. RL > all, but since we're so close to a win, timeout would have been worst way to end
If Yomo lynch goes through with no lynch surprise and we get a successful kill tonight, that -should- get us to 2 vs 2
So, kill attempt kinda has to be phoebus I think? Fates have an immunity unless gaining the power made them lose it, and Celina will still have a vote? Question is what the hell could the reweaving fate power be, and if Lisaera dying gave Phoebus any powers/immunities?
I was terrified someone would do the numbers on 2 traitors plus soulless and realise I was the more important lynch, haha. The stalemate was great play for keeping us unconnected but was convinced someone would be figuring it out the longer it went on.
You were both successful and won the game post incoming

Ha, I actually backed off on @Ushaara once I realized the more I pushed, the more @Weiwae and @Fyler suspected me. I started to really doubt myself! I thought maybe I was being super unreasonable after all. XD
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
Well that was a wild ride. Illith's Kill only every 3rd night threw all of my suspicions way off. I was almost convinced that the Traitors couldn't kill and just had limited recruitment because I figured we'd have been seening at least 2-3 deaths a night if they did. Near the end I was just assuming that Ushaara or Laviyna was the last traitor that had been recruited, but really thought targeting the Soulless first would be better for Town so never really pushed at them.
I was originally planning to hold onto my governor power as long as possible, and since it was twilight activated, use it save somebody whose reaction after being lynched seemed like genuine town, or on the off off chance that scum decided to gloat when they thought they'd won on a mislynch. But then day 2 happened.
Also this exchange made me laugh, in retrospect, though was pretty damn frustrated at the time.
You got lynched hahahaha, and it will end the day with you dead or alive. Remember the power is a private PM, you don't have to say anything if you don't want.
I am beside myself, the difference between yours and Breandryn is yours ends the night because its a PM, i'll explain that in the final vote post. I don't care if you quote this to them or not.
Don't gotta explain anything extra if that's how the power works. But yeah lll save myself

Here's my silly convo with Silvanus, where you can follow the eventual downfall of my sanity. For some reason my avatar size was obnoxiously huge so I edited mine out for ease of reading.
Ahhh, one of the best places on the First World to plant my roots and connect with the forest. The great Northern Forest in Lusternia, Serynwodenhillirim, home to many of the oldest trees, a great place to observe the passing of time. You find a small clearing by a pleasant brook in the corner of the forest, deciding that is the best place to reach out.
You reach deep within the First World with your roots, connecting with the Great Spirits that reside there, feeling the deepest parts of the forest when your concentration is cut short by a visiting Shaddus. You watch his movements for awhile as he continues to search around the Forest, presumably looking for you.
I just want to tell you that you make my favorite mafia games. They're all so cleverly thought out and interesting, I feel like I'm in a story. Thanks for taking the time to find a computer on your trip!
Hahaha, it was a legendary Day 2 for sure! It delayed my day's grading ridiculously. I remember I looked at the clock and blinked. "Two hours have passed and I haven't graded an essay? What? Oh no. I have an actual addiction. It's a problem now."
And I don't know, ahahaha, there's a childish part of me that would still execute Weiwae. I would hold back probably because Team Town. But it would be hard sometimes! XD
It's really hard to not say anything as a Mod, but I can read all the subtle hints and the meaning underneath their words.
Executing Tekora is still a highlight of my time in Mafia, winning or losing at that point didn't matter because I got to kill Tekora, and I am so glad it's been probably a year or more since then and people still refer to that.
Also, I need you to live! No one's role is set in stone, there will always be curveballs.
Isn't that part the most fun? Seeing how everyone interacts and why. I'm sure you thought "Oh nooooo" once you saw the people with immunities targeted. XD
I think I'll survive tonight mainly because mafia knows I'm a fabulously loud scapegoat. They're hoping to get the Luce/Weiwae/Selenity trinity to knock me out. At least Shaddus knows I'm cool. Unless... unless Shaddus isn't cool... O_O
I will try to live! I will chill out on Weiwae. Ahaha.
Cannot help but feel this game is an elaborate set-up to lynch me and leave the town with just Luce, Shaddus, and Weiwae mucking around in their own mistakes. ;_; I feel like Drake, cuz I gotta lot of enemies.
Well as you go to return to the Northern Wilderness, you do not see any waste around you. The Great Forest in the North is your favorite place to rest, and this time you are left all alone in your small brook. No visitors, no waste.
Hahahaha oh man didn't Hoar hide the key to Drocilla's collar? Does Tremula need me to die to unlock her power? Could just be cult recruitment though. Maaaaan.
You should've won but it was unfortunately unlucky you got kind of the same role as Klaus Fuchs with the disappearing thing. I even randomized the roles too, yours wasn't the only amusing role to be given.
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
Special shoutout to @Dylara for knowing her sistah so well. I actually agreed with her, I was tilting pretty hard and it was obvious imo. But somehow that got her lynched. She just can't win as vig - see also Michael in Gods and Monsters.
I really, really can't. Vig is actually my least favourite role.
Also, told you guys you shoulda lynched Ushaara if I turned up dead.
Thanks for the game Silvanus, was fun!
Avurekhos says, "Dylara's a PvP menace in my eyes, totes rekting face."
The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable. Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.
What would my power have been? ALSO OMG. Can't quote because mobile but the bit where Silvanus told you I was Drocilla...was that the day I saved Ush by announcing traitor/survivor??
Thanks for hosting the game, Silvanus! I totally sucked at it. Way too rusty. At least I managed to bluff the whole game being completely death immune... >_>

"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
I made a huge mistake on night one and sent one of Othero's messages to Dylara
There were some secret powers that remained unlocked:
If Bollikin sharded, every other Elder would shard instead of dying and have the ability to cast one vote.
If Mugowumpis still lived after Bollikin sharded, those that shard can send a message to Mugo once a day.
Drocilla - Any kill she performs would've been janitored, limited use.
Manteekan - limited mafia jailer
If Fain tried to recruit Lisaera, the traitors would be outed to Lisaera
If a traitor was lynched, Hoarcle would've gained Mysrai and Jadice - Form the Triumvirate and become a roleblocker, a recluse or a limited vig, their choice.
If Orclachmar was given an item by Clango, they would have had permanent vig powers.

You jerks denied me ultimate power! I also could've called out @Yomoigu's bluff definitively, omg.
ETA: So I suppose @Drocilla didn't count, @Silvanus? (And Fain was a no because killed?)
ETA 2.0: Also I would have definitely taken vig and murderized some folks.
"Oh yeah, you're a naughty mayor, aren't you? Misfile that Form MA631-D. Comptroller Shevat's got a nice gemstone disc for you, but yer gonna have to beg for it."
To this day, I have no idea how Ushaara didn't just get lynched for claiming a traitor. And in a game with a very finite number of claimable roles, the last couple people to claim should be heavily suspect by default just because it's so dangerous to false claim a name early. So probably should've poked more at Lavinya, too.
My true power was...
But, haha, more seriously neither do I. We had a lot of lucky breaks, and Town had a lot of 'honorary Traitors.'
This was such a wild ride for me, and I had so much fun. All my messages to
@Silvanus were a variation of either "aaaaggghh, I'm so dead," or
"hahahaha, how am I/are we still alive?" I lost track of how many times I was
convinced I was going to die.
I knew my early claim would be a risk, but damn it I wanted a chance to cause some mayhem! I figured Fain and cult were likely and my claim was a pure 'HERE I AM, CONVERT ME!'
But I figured I could scoot by on reasonable doubt on Day 2 since the win condition was Soulless, though when Fain flipped on Day 3, I thought that was game over.
@Sylandra can be terrifying to play against, but I was dancing with glee when she then turned into one of my quasi-defenders that day which gave me some breathing space. Though she then almost immediately nixed my push on you, and only that you slipped up with your account allowed me to highlight the conflicting claim.
But man, I think I was 2 votes short of a lynch and trying to find enough material to convince people to switch to you was agony. @Othero was like 'I think he could still be telling the truth!' and others seemed to buy your Maeve claim. I was spluttering at how they could still think you were innocent.
@Silvanus What powers would we all have gotten from Breandryn, and what were the unused Traitor powers?
Comments
but I never posted it because I thought people would take it as deflecting and lynch me.

Special shoutout to @Dylara for knowing her sistah so well. I actually agreed with her, I was tilting pretty hard and it was obvious imo. But somehow that got her lynched. She just can't win as vig - see also Michael in Gods and Monsters.
Traitor messages:
Just clarifying but I presume only one of us does the kill, but on the off night we have the option of Fain recruiting or checking to see if someone is recruitable? And if Morgfyre successfully performs the kill, he gets more powers? (Love that flavour, ha).
Traitors: You win when all Soulless are defeated and the rest of the Elders pose no threat (have a majority over town).
I suspect sending out a cult invite to an incompatible party will result in an obvious "teh Fain offurz u pots but u sez nowai". Should we information fish for tonight?
And yes, that is basically it for a fail on the elixir. A success will have them added to this message group and their new role revealed.
Lavy, I really got no idea what to be doing. I feel like I'm not going to last much longer, so I kind of want to try to convert someone tonight. Some reason or another I feel like it might be fun to pitch a shot at Phoebus. Thoughts?
If you kill without using a Power, you can't use the Elixir or ask for a hint on recruitment. If you use a power, you can still either kill/recruit.
Note: If you fail a recruitment, the attempted conversion target will be notified of an obscurely unrelated request, but not of your true intentions, with one obvious exception that will only reveal your intentions, not your identity due to the masked ball.
Actually, wait a sec. The elixir flavour script specifically states "player" instead of "players". If there's only one person we can even recruit, then I guess it has to be Malmydia. Meeerf.
Well, whatever we do tonight I should probably be the one acting.
I agree we need to recruit. I'm not sure if we can safely approach Ushaara tonight though. Also Silv I'm presuming that text to slaay needs to be done in game during day?
I wonder if Tremula is Drocilla. She seems so excited to RP her role it wouldn't surprise me. But that's a bit of a stab in the dark. I'm open to suggestion, Vivet!
This is why I need a proofreader on things.
Trem has been decent at staying under the radar, but I can kind of see Shaddus maybe being one as well. I don't know.
We didn't get a hint yet. I guess we can just request a hint if we're not feeling too bold or certain?
Morgfyre's new role sheet:
Traitors: You win when all Soulless are defeated and the rest of the Elders pose no threat (have a majority over town).
Forbidden Elixir: Our only chance for victory. You will have the ablity to recruit members to your Mysteries, though limited selections do exist. Your team can either kill someone during the night or choose to recruit a member, but due to your nature, your group must attempt a kill every other night. You may also ask for a clue on the player who you may recruit instead of killing or recruiting.
Slaay the Hidden: As a member of the Dark Cadre, you follow Morgfyre's lead. Your expertise is in the hidden knife, the subterfuge kill within the dark. One time, you may use Slaay the Hidden to kill someone, they will die on the next night. This is a one time use and can be used at the same time as Fain's Elixir if you were not the leader. Just Slaay (person) during nighttime.
You are dead Vivet.

I'm a bit worried about Breandryn giving out powers since might mean another vig/investigation etc.
Can we do a me kill/you Slaay combo? Or does Slaay count as the kill attempt?
You can only do two kills if you both used your powers.
Am expecting some more attention tomorrow, since there's no other clear Soulless/Traitor, but will try keep spinning the Nemach as Traitor theory a while longer.
Will have to see what sort of verbal gymnastics are required to escape another lynch.
So if you use Slaay tonight, can put me down to kill Breandryn. If you use regular kill, that's fine too.
Have to head to bed, but good luck! Hope to see you still alive in the morning!
I am putting this here because I love it so much.
Weiwae votes against me on the 'you didn't tell anyone that investigating you would be a waste' logic....
Still think it's impossible to win, but having so much fun.
If we can survive Soulless and get our actions through jailings, we'd start tomo with..
8, lynch Yomo, 7, Slaay kill, 6, nightkill, 5, but then you're the likely lynch...
I think you'll be a goner once Yomo flips, but if Soulless can get a kill before they go, we might actually fluke this. But think Yomo's on a jailing tonight and we're likely to double target...
Soo close, but really need some luck
1. Lavinya
2. Ushaara
3. Yomoigu
4. Selenity
5. Fyler
6. Lehki
7. Dylara
8. Phoebus
9. Weiwae
Ergh, so hard to guess what others will do...
If I was Yomo, I'd probably try kill one of us. He knows you're lying, and whatever way he might think I will flip, it'd put emphasis on a Traitor discussion which might just be enough of a distraction for him to slip through the lynch.
-Hopefully- he goes for someone else though.
Good thing is he probably didn't use his strongman on Shaddus, so he might have a lynch immunity and take two lynches to remove. :?
But I'd expect him to try push the lynch on us tomorrow though, with a "I jailed Lavinya/Ush and definite Traitor" play.
But if he doesn't target us tonight, don't think Selenity/Fyler would be targeted either, since Selenity would shrug attack off and Fyler splinters.
I don't know if Weiwae will jail Yomoigu again though, since he may think Yomo killed Breandryn and is jail immune off Othero's wording of the attack?
Meaning he'll probably jail you/me, or one of Lehki/Dylara/Phoebus.
So I'll be likely going for one of Dylara/Phoebus, since they're getting to the point where they're determined to lynch me, even if it may not be their own best move.
Very wary of Breandryn's gifts too. Need to look back over the thread to see what nights she actually passed one off. Would imagine Weiwae got one.
Lots of luck needed to get both kill + Slaay off
Who do you think we should target?
I could go for Weiwae though. The double jailer thing is already weird and having him flip town is just another nail in the coffin for Yomo. Only worry there is if there's another immunity in play from a Breandryn gift or something. Though it would make our next night phase easier having him gone. And with Yomo around, I should be able to survive the Dylara/Phoebus inquisition a bit longer.
We're high risk whatever we do...
So maybe me for Weiwae, and you Slaay Dylara is best option?
Hopefully Silvanus will be kind and Slaay will be unblockable since stealth killer and all.
I'm thinking Breandryn's actions were
N1 - Forge for self
N2 - Forge for Xeii (Failed)
N3 - Forge for Dylara
N4 - Forge for Shaddus (Failed)
N5 - Forge for Weiwae? (Died)
Only delivery she did get off before N5 she said was a day power, which makes me think Dylara's daykill.
Curse this game. Better stick with gut.
Kill Weiwae
Come on a sweet sweet extra Malmydia power that lets us win this!
Good with just killing Weiwae yep.
(Thanks!
Bloodredi: Being the only member of the Twelve to seek Fain out, Bloodredi's creations took on a grotesque form. You may use his Scorpions to roleblock one person a night. You may only do this two times. ROLEBLOCK (person) at night.
Good with Dylara, yep. You want to perform the kill?
Not sure how useful Blooredi roleblock will be given Selenity's power is still restricted until Celina splinters, and seems only other power in play is Soulless kill.
Was thinking to maybe try pass it off as an arson prep, and hope people would believe Phoebus flipped to Traitor when Lisaera died. Elfenehoala taking Blooredi's 'sought out the Traitors' role in the game etc.
Though if it's not going to be visible if it doesn't block, who knows if that'd work
Maybe I should block Yomo so that he doesn't kill me/you?
There'd be 6 in play with Dylara out, so 4 to lynch. Likely votes
Me: Phoebus, Yomo
Yomo: Me, You
Selenity is a wildcard and flip flops her vote so who knows who she'd go for. She doesn't trust either of us, but at least has been more vocal calling to lynch Yomo.
Fyler was leaning Yomo today, so hopefully would go for it again?
Hopefully enough in Othero's info, and Yomo's shifty claim to persuade the votes his way.
Still a risky plan but we'd win the following night? But by highlighting the block, it would possibly be harder to get him lynched, so downsides too.
Though could cast doubt on claim of roleblock appearing late game when it hasn't ever featured before.
Curse this game!
Do you think I should block Yomo? Or just hope that he doesn't target me/you?
I have roleblock, so I can roleblock while you normal kill/slaay?
so you block Yomo, I will kill Dylara. And if I can't do an outright kill, I'll use Slaay. Sound good?
Roleblock Yomoigu
Ivanko the Cruel: Infamous for delighting in torture and pain, Ivanko's true speciality is in mutiliating their victim beyond all recognition. One time only, the person you kill will be janitored away to everyone else, but you will know who they were at least. Ivanko (person)
@Lavinya if you can find a spare minute, Day-end deadline approaching fast and continued deadlock is risky.
(hope all's ok?)
If Yomo lynch goes through with no lynch surprise and we get a successful kill tonight, that -should- get us to 2 vs 2
One roleblock left, so serenity or phoebus?
And wait? You have another roleblock still? Or did I misunderstand?
Shall we lock it in?
(aaaaahhhhhhhhhh, if this is the win I won't be able to stop grinning for a week!)
I was originally planning to hold onto my governor power as long as possible, and since it was twilight activated, use it save somebody whose reaction after being lynched seemed like genuine town, or on the off off chance that scum decided to gloat when they thought they'd won on a mislynch. But then day 2 happened.
Also this exchange made me laugh, in retrospect, though was pretty damn frustrated at the time.
(Hope I was loud enough to get some fingers pointed at me. Come2me, night actions.)
Craziest day I've ever seen, I bet you are glad you don't have that executioner power now!
And I don't know, ahahaha, there's a childish part of me that would still execute Weiwae. I would hold back probably because Team Town. But it would be hard sometimes! XD
Executing Tekora is still a highlight of my time in Mafia, winning or losing at that point didn't matter because I got to kill Tekora, and I am so glad it's been probably a year or more since then and people still refer to that.
Also, I need you to live! No one's role is set in stone, there will always be curveballs.
I think I'll survive tonight mainly because mafia knows I'm a fabulously loud scapegoat. They're hoping to get the Luce/Weiwae/Selenity trinity to knock me out. At least Shaddus knows I'm cool. Unless... unless Shaddus isn't cool... O_O
I will try to live! I will chill out on Weiwae. Ahaha.
Also I love that this Toy Story pic is being used again and again, ahaha.
BUT IT DID
Silvanus March 16Well as you go to return to the Northern Wilderness, you do not see any waste around you. The Great Forest in the North is your favorite place to rest, and this time you are left all alone in your small brook. No visitors, no waste.
Sylandra March 16 THANKS FOR BLOWING MY COVER SHADDUS Sylandra March 18 Hahahaha oh man didn't Hoar hide the key to Drocilla's collar? Does Tremula need me to die to unlock her power? Could just be cult recruitment though. Maaaaan. Sylandra March 20 Phew glad we offed that problem before it started. GG, team. WE FINALLY HIT A LYNCH.
Silvanus March 20You were killed! 
Silvanus March 20Don't panic!
Sylandra March 20 LMFAO so meeeeean. Sylandra March 23 [Re: Portius death] So satisfying omggggg
Silvanus March 23I don't know how he survived day 4 really Sylandra March 23 Tremula lol 
Silvanus March 26Another day no one visited
Sylandra March 26 ;_; Sylandra April 2 If I die because Shaddus skimmed his flavor text I stg, lmao.
[I die]Time to hope no one calls my bluff and kills me tonight.
Just kidding!
(Thanks Shaddus)
Silvanus April 2It said northern wilderness 
Sylandra April 2 lmfao
Sylandra April 2 Was a good run. Being executed is strangely satisfying. If someone janitors me I will hate them forever. 
Silvanus April 2You should've won but it was unfortunately unlucky you got kind of the same role as Klaus Fuchs with the disappearing thing. I even randomized the roles too, yours wasn't the only amusing role to be given.
Sylandra April 2 Ahaha. 
Oh well. I sincerely enjoyed it. Sylandra April 3 Also this might be mean of me but part of me wants town to lose. They have played really badly so far. >_>
SO EVEN THOUGH WE LOST, I got the petty petty princess outcome I wanted.omg
Also, told you guys you shoulda lynched Ushaara if I turned up dead.
Thanks for the game Silvanus, was fun!
The eye of Dylara materialises in your hands and flings itself around your neck, tightening incomprehensibly until it is irremovable.
Perfectly clean, this eyeball has been wrenched from the socket of Dylara. It has been animated by some unusual force, constantly looking around itself as if in shock or fear. It is bathed in a light covering of white flames that roll endlessly over its surface. A single chain of empyreal metal pierces either side of the eye, allowing it to be worn around the neck.
Ixion tells you, "// I don't think anyone else had a clue, amazing form."
(also poor @Dylara was the MVP this game, if she had full-on vig night powers I think this would have been a different game!)
There were some secret powers that remained unlocked:
If Bollikin sharded, every other Elder would shard instead of dying and have the ability to cast one vote.
If Mugowumpis still lived after Bollikin sharded, those that shard can send a message to Mugo once a day.
Drocilla - Any kill she performs would've been janitored, limited use.
Manteekan - limited mafia jailer
If Fain tried to recruit Lisaera, the traitors would be outed to Lisaera
If a traitor was lynched, Hoarcle would've gained Mysrai and Jadice - Form the Triumvirate and become a roleblocker, a recluse or a limited vig, their choice.
If Orclachmar was given an item by Clango, they would have had permanent vig powers.
If a traitor was lynched, Hoarcle would've gained Mysrai and Jadice - Form the Triumvirate and become a roleblocker, a recluse or a limited vig, their choice.
ETA: So I suppose @Drocilla didn't count, @Silvanus? (And Fain was a no because killed?)
ETA 2.0: Also I would have definitely taken vig and murderized some folks.
But, haha, more seriously neither do I. We had a lot of lucky breaks, and Town had a lot of 'honorary Traitors.'
This was such a wild ride for me, and I had so much fun. All my messages to @Silvanus were a variation of either "aaaaggghh, I'm so dead," or "hahahaha, how am I/are we still alive?" I lost track of how many times I was convinced I was going to die.
I knew my early claim would be a risk, but damn it I wanted a chance to cause some mayhem! I figured Fain and cult were likely and my claim was a pure 'HERE I AM, CONVERT ME!'
But I figured I could scoot by on reasonable doubt on Day 2 since the win condition was Soulless, though when Fain flipped on Day 3, I thought that was game over.
@Sylandra can be terrifying to play against, but I was dancing with glee when she then turned into one of my quasi-defenders that day which gave me some breathing space. Though she then almost immediately nixed my push on you, and only that you slipped up with your account allowed me to highlight the conflicting claim.
But man, I think I was 2 votes short of a lynch and trying to find enough material to convince people to switch to you was agony. @Othero was like 'I think he could still be telling the truth!' and others seemed to buy your Maeve claim. I was spluttering at how they could still think you were innocent.
@Silvanus What powers would we all have gotten from Breandryn, and what were the unused Traitor powers?
