Riverside mafia game thread

Gg Well played town

there were several investigative abilities w town. only 1 true total investigation ability = pyg mada could confirm claimed roles only and abilities could not be assumed with any of the roles rc could give a list and learn how many of those were mafia npat could out someone if they claimed vanilla they were all put to good use very early in the game - earlier than i expected mafia had 1 inspection each night but failed to use it effectively pyg made a blunder by sending a PM to 2oc identifying himself. it was pretty obvious that if i tried to overlook it = 2oc would know he was town and visa versa. so i gave mafia 2 free inspections which helped but it was too little too late

[/quote] that's actually true - i was gizmo in the reindeer game that changed from town to neutral and then created spawns i was mafia - but not really = i was a mafia spy that became neutral next game i was mafia but nobody trusted me i was one the first to die in a game but then one of the first to come back to life and then the first become dead dead after being given a whole new win clause - again, nobody believed me on and on and on

I’m definitely in for next game. I’ve actually played very briefly before under another account but I didn’t want to mention that because I managed to lock myself out halfway through the game :(. This was in the Romeo and Juliet a few years back

gg everyone had fun playing with you all! definitely looking forward to future mafia games

[quote=Tennesseelogman]this is a recap of what happened day 0 2oc confessed his entire role pm to the preacher, rc kc asked about npat and learned that he was town mada verified blue and cwolf's claimed roles reporter anu sent his 1st message to the forum = it was confusing 2oc posted that there likely a town mayor, cop, and doc (which is common) but also guessed there was a mailman, mechanic, teacher, and grave digger (cemetery) rock did not investigate, mac did not kidnap, mada did not role confirm a few claims night 1 ely called a board meeting of thick, rock, and anax - anax and thick did not participate pyg spied on 2oc and learned his role pm anax left a note for kc and revealed all to him cwolf got all reports given to mada, pyg, and kc day 1 nobody lynched night 2 ely called a board meeting of the same group = more chat this time rock tried to investigate 2oc but mac kidnapped 2oc - both mac and rock were mafia jacob also sent 2oc to the ranger station so he was double protected blue saved kc ryo shot ely kc found out that rock was not the civil rights lawyer as claimed - rock was the lawyer but added the civil rights part = this lead to rock's downfall kc verified all other role claims day 2 anu made another anonymous post to the forum as reporter rock was lynched night 3 jacob sent anax to the ranger station anax tried to send mail to mada but could since he was sequestered pyg tried to investigate anax but could since he was sequestered blue saved 2oc mac kidnapped ryo ryo shoots 2oc but could since 2oc was saved by blue and ryo was kidnapped day 3 thick uses ely's last ability and calls board meeting of blue, jacob, and 2oc = lots of chat and info exchanged mac was lynched night 4 anax requests to send a note to 2oc blue saves thick jacob sequestered jacob anu requests sending another report to the forum ryo shoots 2oc 2oc shoots ryo = game over only 3 mafia vs 14 town somewhat lopsided given what happened but i thought it would be harder for town since no PMs mafia did not play well - this not to criticize - they know they made a few mistakes - i thought they would stay hidden much longer and i actually thought they should win the 3 new players did an outstanding job - i'm sure there will be another mafia game soon - we hope you are now hooked since i have hosted 5 out the last 7 mafia games - and died 1st in the other 2 that i got to play = i am ready for a game and request special treatment[/quote] Thank you for hosting TLM, can't imagine all the work that goes into that.

Nice work town and thanks TLM! Always a pleasure with you at the helm!

TLM - great work and excellent game! Thanks for hosting :) I do wish I could do more besides just putting our random bulletins

GG town. Well played. TLM, cheers to you for moderating and creating a very detailed mafia game. We enjoyed it, but alas, to briefly.

My mafia itch is coming back. :P

[quote]anuorre wrote: I do wish I could do more besides just putting our random bulletins[/quote] there are often only 2 town roles that heavily impact the game = a sheriff (shooter) and an investigator. then maybe a doctor that if allowed will save himself most of the time. other players are then "vanilla" with no ability except to lynch vote. i do not like being one of the vanilla players and figure most others do not have as much fun that way either. so i nearly always construct a game where every player has an extra ability. w 17 players not all can be a shooter or an outright investigator so there must be many roles that have a less influential ability but still can contribute to the process under certain conditions. those roles are sometimes less of a mafia target if they are announced but really it seems that individual players are most likely to be a target based on past game play, experience, or perceived threat. also, all of the games i have hosted are original games. they are made up entirely by me and therefore have not been tested so will oftentimes be lopsided in one way or the other. if, for instance, i were to do this game again = i would certainly make some changes - but hindsight is 20/20. some games would be fine to repeat = like those that have the roles made public at the start of the game. anyway, sorry that you were dealt a hand not to your liking.

Yup I understand that! I was wondering though how my ability could be use more effectively. Then I realized, which was affirmed later, that it is a pairing ability, which when paired with another is able to much more effective. Definitely liked your creativity there ;)

yes, particularly the called board meeting. if pyg had investigated a mafia but did not want to post it in the forum for fear of a mafia kill = and could have told you in the meeting to post it = there you go. and there were others that would have paired nicely. under the right circumstances - you could have been the one to bring town info to all and remained hidden. but the game was over too quickly for these type things to develop. i actually thought about extending the game even after all 3 mafia were dead to see who got killed and lynched next :)
