I haven read the end of the night, no.

Been working overtime and going to a funeral. :-/

I am comfortable in my assertion that Dragomir is a civilian. I will now be working from there.

Thanks, man.

I looked through Creature. There's nothing that inspires civilian confidence. I would lynch him.

I'm passing on the JJJ-Mac shit until I am sober.

Epi is scum.

[VOTE: Epi] aubergine

I can't explain why. It has to deal with the claiming stuff. Just trust me.

He's right. I'm bowing out. I'm not wasting anymore of my time.

I am sorry everyone for not being able to put forth a meaningful challenge, but I have no time.

Wait, what? Are you game-throwing?

I am doing the honorable thing and acknowledging when I am beat. There's no "throwing" involved.

If you're really mafia then this is disappointing. You could have subbed out if you can't play man.

When you came in with your claim, I have no out. I'm done.

But it's not like I put you in a situation that you couldn't get out of though.

Dragomir wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 7:33 pm Considering that there's no restriction to claiming, I assume it's safe to do so right? If so, the person who's character is Morgana. Please claim for me. This is important. Don't ask why. Just do it.

Explain to me how I'm getting out of that.

It's cool. I'm not upset at all.

Fair enough. Thanks for not dragging it out Epi.

When all of you gave me the green light, I was going to, but in this situation, I cannot, and don't mean to. I respect everyone's time.

Well played Civilianos.

Never disappointing. You played very well.

Dragomir wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:37 pm If you're really mafia then this is disappointing. You could have subbed out if you can't play man.

To be clear, I have never subbed out. When I sign up, I play.

This situation gave me the opportunity to snake my way to victory except that you claimed I was bad in a way that I was not coming back from. No need to waste anyone's time.

I do believe the civilians did a hearty job though.

Again, I'm very sorry. I'm working 12 hours a day, plus cooking, plus being a dad, plus fantasy sports. I didn't get to this until late.

Lol I wanted it to be Jay.

Ah well. I understand that I guess.

I certainly wouldn’t either.

Mac wants to lynch Nutella and Jack. Iirc Drago says the same.

Jay wanted to lynch Epi.

He didn't though?? Like it was literally against the rules so should have just been ignored. I mean I guess you're right that we can't really ignore it but I hate that this is ending this way. Dishonor to both Drago and you.

But like this is some kind of info claim and it caused the game to implode so I don't think speed will be happy about it.

Yeeeeeeeeah. Luckily, Speed is gonna be too sleep deprived to be too upset.

Eh let's not be sanctimonious about this. Shit happens. Nobody intentionally went out of their way to upset anybody.

Sorry Speed.

Fun game regardless and the town probably would have still won.

Bruh. Just read the last page.

Epi has Conceded. He was... Masayoshi Shido, Mafia Piercing Killer, Tracker/Roleblocker.

If Shido performs the kill, it is a piercing kill. If not, he can visit someone to roleblock and track them to see who they would have visited..

I'm not upset about the way the game ended. I do wish Dragomir hadn't claimed, but it is what it is. The game headed in that direction anyway, and town was on fire all game. I bear a little of the blame for setup choices that led here. I will explain in a follow-up post that talks about the setup (and how this particular day's result happened on a one in a thousand chance.)

I hope you'll all celebrate your win as earned, and stick with me for the discussion!

TOWN has won! - Creature, Dragomir, Jackofhearts2005, JaggedJimmyJay, Long Con, MacDougall, nutella, and sprityo.

SETUP:

Game has eleven characters:

Ren - Town power role
Ryuji
Morgana
Ann
Yusuke
Makoto
Futaba
Haru
Kasumi
Sae
Mishima

Two of the vanillas are chosen to be mafia, and replaced with:
Kamoshida
Shido - mafia power role
This gives the two mafia some fakeclaim ability.

One other vanilla is chosen to be replaced by a third party:
Akechi - 3p power role

Leaving the game at 7v2v1.

------------------------------------------
Leaving the setup as:

6 vanilla town, 1 vanilla mafia

Ren - Town Persona User and Confidant
Each night Ren is given three persona powers at random to choose from. OR he can select one of the vanilla town names from the list above, passing the baton to them and giving them a power to use instead. If he selects a mafioso name, there is no effect.

Shido - Mafia Piercing Killer, Tracker/Roleblocker
If Shido performs the kill, it is a piercing kill. If not, he can visit someone to roleblock and track them to see who they would have visited.

Akechi - 3P Persona User - Power Role Assassin
Each night Akechi is given three persona powers at random to choose from, from a slightly longer list than Ren's.
Aketchi's goal is to make sure that neither Ren nor Shido survive. Akechi has a 1-shot BP vest, AND a 1-shot vig, but he loses the vest if he uses the vig.

------

-Personas-
Absorber - Copy anything you are targeted with for use in the next night
Empty shot giveaway - fake a daykill attempt
Bodyguard - die instead of target
Redirect - move kill off you onto some random townie
Messenger - sends one message rewritten by the mod with identity redacted
1-day anon neighbor
insanifier - curse someone
Motion Detector - detects unspecified night actions from/to
Voyeur - sees actions but not culprit
Thief - steal an item related to that person's (false) role
Stump - if killed this night, remain as stump
Visitor - visits. No other effect.
Janitor - Get night reveal personally delivered to you (Akechi only)

Baton Pass Powers:
Roleblocker - (Ann)*
Cop - (Makoto)
Self-doc (Kasumi)
Permanent anon neighbor (Morgana)*
Insanifier/voteblock (Yusuke)*
Guard - show a random teammate who Ren is (Ryuji)
Neapolitan - see if target is vanilla townie (Haru)*
Watcher - watches target (Futaba)*
1 -shot doublevote - (Sae Nijima)*
Reporter - (Mishima)

*also an akechi persona option


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Claims of night actions and of roles are not allowed, even with the fakeclaim/aliases that all non-town will have.

Day 1 was unfortunate for mafia. By losing TSP, they lost half their utility.

Night 1: Dragomir got some boring options randomly, so he chose to give baton to Morgana. This did nothing. It probably should have notified Epignosis, but I didn't think that would matter in a game without claims. I was wrong.
Rej chose to insanify/voteblock nutella. That was fun.

Day 2: Rej was lynched. He still could have won if mafia had killed Dragomir, but Drago survived.

Night 2: On a 3/13 chance, Drago happened to get the option to anon neighbor someone for a day. Then he happened to pick the ONLY person he'd targeted (by their fake role name, so it was complete coincidence), who happened to be mafia. If any of those things weren't perfect, this would not have happened.
The two talked in QT about claims. I could have outlawed that in the neighbor chat. Another decision of mine that could have prevented the hardclaim. I did not.
Obviously once Epi claimed Morgana, the baton pass didn't line up. Drago asked me if the baton pass could fail. I told him it could fail in a coupole different ways and it would not notify anyone if it did.
He bluffed in the chat anyway that he knew for sure why it had failed, which was a safe bet, to be sure.
Epi conceded.

I did not see this going this way.

Good game, all! Thanks for playing.
