Mafia Revival

[Ghid]

I’ll tell you this

I’m not the investigator

But good guess

[Holi]

I change my vote from jayzor to Holi, let’s keep the double kill ball rolling!

[Willess12]

@jayzor17

This brings me to my most likely candidate: Leoxander

@jayzor17

He’s suspect, but less likely than Leo, in my opinion.

Trying to make sure people don’t go for Jak (they do anyway)

@jayzor17

Next is Hawkflight, and honestly I have the least to say about him.

And we know he’s the mafian.

@jayzor17

I’m leaning between Slime and Tuaro

Goes for the two most popular innocents. Withholds his vote, though, in case he needs it for a double kill.

@jayzor17

You guys really want me to leave this as a double-kill?

Which he doesn’t, and leaves it a double kill to off two innocents.

@jayzor17

I’m not a fan of the multi-kills, really; we saw how it turned out yesterday. Then again, it did allow us to get Jakanader on Day 1. Still, it seems too easy for things to go wrong and give the mafia an advantage.

Oh, so now that Jcton is under suspicion (mainly thanks to me) he doesn’t want a double kill. Even though, with Invi confirmed innocent, giving us a 67% chance of getting the mafian with a double kill.

@jayzor17

If it makes you feel any better, I can cast a vote for Jcton if he pulls out

Because he wouldn’t do that if he was a mafian right?

@jayzor17

I vote for Jcton, then.

Also, he arranges to do this with his fellow mafian, Jcton. To throw suspicion off himself.

@Jcton

He probably is, though how would I know…:

Moc falls for it, saying that he now trusts Jayzor… and the other mafian jumps on it and agrees. Bad move, Jcton.

@jayzor17

I vote for Holi.

With everyone voting for him, he deflects to Holi.

@Holi

let’s keep the double kill ball rolling!

As much as I would love to have four consecutive double kills… If _el is the mafian, that leaves us 3-2. And if the defender fails… game over, mafia wins.

@Ghid

I’ll tell you this

I’m not the investigator

Especially after this. If Ghid isn’t the investigator, there’s a good chance he’s just using analysis like me, and keeping quiet about it. He could still be wrong.

Speaking of Holi, unlike Jay, he has encouraged a double kill every round. Two of those got us a mafian, and if Holi was the last mafian, this would be another. So I doubt it’s Holi.

Jayzor: 4 _el, Ghid, Willess, Racue
Racie58:0
Holi: 2 Jayzor, Holi
_el:0

Jak: 1 Jak

(I know this is a joke and doesn’t count, but I’m leaving it here because why not? I’m leaving it separate from the actual vote count to avoid confusion, though, just in case.)

[Racie02]

I love how in this round, we’re not only trying to figure out the mafian, but the investigator and defender as well. And actually, what the investigator knows/doesn’t could matter a lot here.

[Zero]

Hey can I commit ghost sepuku as well?

[Racie02]

Oh yeah, I haven’t voted yet.
I vote for Jayzor, with the revolver, in the dining room

[rainsong]

Well, guess I’ll just die then.

Well, you still stand a good chance of winning; you can get Hawk, and it’s likely that you’ll be able to get today’s mafia the second time around. Good luck, hope it works out.

[Hawkflight]

yes, yes, vote for Jayzor

[Omega_Tahu]

Slight delay in the execution scene due to busy real life and also sorting out some stuff for the scene.

Edit:

#Night 4

The villagers enter @jayzor17’s house, looking in disbelief at the Pendatic Dots that scuttled around the house. Before long they found Jayzor in his room, staring out a window that did not match the scene outside and sipping some orange juice. The villagers held no more doubts about Jayzor’s role as mafia, and raised their bolters to fire.

But before they could @Hawkflight burst into the room, wielding a sword and yelling a mighty warcry. However he did not see the spear in his way, nor the corpse of @TheMOCingbird who held it. He soon found himself impaled, and could only watch as the Villager’s obliterated Jayzor and the magical window. Hawkflight smirked as the life faded from him, content with the fact that no innocent villager had been the one to end him.

@jayzor17, lynched by Innocents, Mafia
@Hawkflight, killed by Mafia, Mafia

#Villagers Win

Expect post game analysis soon-ish

Other people are more than free to post their own analysis and thoughts on the game if they wish, and personally it’d probably help me if I saw how other people looked at the scenes.

[rainsong]

It makes me sad that most everyone here are going to miss most of the jokes in this. It makes up for dying and losing.

[TheMOCingbird]

Yeass! I killed Hawkflight I guess? What evs, gg y’all. Also, @Racie02 I’m guessing you PMed all the innocents saying you were investigator and telling them to vote for Jayzor?

[rainsong]

The investigator has to ask for people specifically, right? I’m curious where I blew my cover. Unless she just got lucky, of course.

[_el]

Kinda surprised no one suspected me as mafia or anything. I low key caused or helped caused some of the double kills.

[Willess12]

I seriously did, but I never said anything since you weren’t a suspect yet. By the time you were, well, I had my eye on Jayzor.

Edit: oh yeah, for those who hadn’t figured it out yet: I was the Defender. This

@Willess12

The defender is harder to determine, since he’ll have nothing to say. But…

TheMOCingbird:
Also, doctor, if you’re still alive, heal invader tonight,

And Invader died tonight. Whoever the defender is, probably didn’t read this. I already said that I was watching the topic like a hawk (no not a Hawkflight) at the time of the vote, so it isn’t me. Holi and Jayzor were both posting about this time. That leaves _el and Rac.

Was just me messing with you. I tried very hard to get the mafia to target me. They didn’t go for it.

@jayzor17

Did we?

---

Jayzor died, Hawkflight died, and thus ends the Mafia Revival. Well, hopefully this will be encouraging enough for other people to start up their (staff-approved) own.

Anarchy always works even if it doesn’t.

[_el]

@Ghid

Well, hopefully this will be encouraging enough for other people to start up their (staff-approved) own.

A mafia resurgence would be cool.

[Flux]

I would love to see more variations on the gameplay of Mafia, such as more roles, maybe even story-based roles.

[rainsong]

@Ghid

Did we?

Okay, maybe not most of them. But there are a few inside jokes in there that I wouldn’t expect most people to get. Or maybe everyone got them, how would I know.

[Racie02]

You blew your cover, probably not how you expect.

All right, time for the investigator’s post game analysis

So, for starters, night 1. With nothing to go off of, I investigated @Political_Slime because he’s my friend. Found out he was innocent.

Day 1
With nothing to go off of, I guessed Jakanader based upon the story. I was right. But, more importantly, at this point the mafia made a critical mistake.

@jayzor17

Hmm…

So my first thought here would be Invader, as being a vegan in charge of raising and killing pigs for sausage seems like an odd choice. A convenient cover story for disposing of the Mafia’s victims, perhaps? Even if it is, though, I can’t say Invader is the most likely culprit for this case. The body was found in the meat and the cranberry pie, meaning that the culprit would need more than access to the meat.

This brings me to my most likely candidate: Leoxander. That’s right, I’m jumping on the bandwagon, but that’s because I feel like it’s a sound train of logic. How could the mafia have snuck these things into the meals without him noticing? Because he’s the one who did it.

Now, I have to admit that there is some evidence that makes me wary of Jakanader. As Whaddon mentioned earlier, the appearance of salmonella after the body was discovered could imply that he had forgone his usual job in favor of disposing of the body. However, I’m not that knowledgeable about salmonella, and my first thought had been that the disease had simply occurred from the presence of human body parts in the food. He’s suspect, but less likely than Leo, in my opinion.

Just to round things out, I doubt it was Racie. Being the first to arrive gives her opportunity to have slipped the body into the food, but her obsessive cleanliness seems to imply that this wouldn’t be her MO.

This post. Before I even read it, I knew Jayzor was mafia. Posting a bunch of analysis to sway the people… I think it was Oonie who posited that tactic, though I could be wrong. My analysis on night 2 confirmed that.

Day 2: I messaged Slime telling him about Jayzor. But then you all decided to kill Slime. I couldn’t say anything, and I was sure Tuaro was mafia, so I let things happen. In hindsight, I’m an idiot: Jayzor pointed his post at both of them, and that should’ve tipped me off that it was neither.

Also, after Slime was offed, I told him over discord that I wasn’t actually the investigator. That was fun.

Night 3: After talking with Slime, I suspected Ghid and Jcton for their actions (actions Slime and Willess already outlined above) I investigate Ghid, but to my surprise, he was innocent. I pm’d him about Jayzor, but…

Day 3: when Ghid showed up on the suspect list again, I thought for sure he was lost. Fortunately, Willess convinced everyone to go for a double kill of Jcton and Moc. I soon figured that this would be a good scenario for me, potentially confirming all of the mafians, so I kept quiet. When Jcton was confirmed mafian, I now knew all four mafians. The game was pretty much over at that point, but I didn’t let the mafia know that.

Night 4: with all the mafians known, I decided to look for the Defender, and investigate Holi (because he was first on the list) He wasn’t the Defender. It didn’t really matter anyway; I was able to pm the innocents about Jayzor.

Good game, guys. It was fun.

[rainsong]

Huh, weird. To be honest, that’s something I would do either way; I just like over-analyzing things, I guess. Really what I was scared about this game was getting accused and being too flustered to defend myself, but I guess it never even got to that point.
