Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Machrone has sent out a questionnaire. Any actions submitted after now require you to have answered this question as well as the previous if you had not done so already. Question 2: Are you one of the Empire Spy's targets?

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 Yet another body was found. This time, remarkably, it shows no signs of any violent conflict. The victim simply died. What powerful dark magic is this? IFFY HAS BEEN KILLED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 The outcome of the game is now certain, there is no point in continuing. EXCALIBUR HAS BEEN KILLED! Everyone else has assembled a team and is able to meet their victory condition. Congratulations to the winners: Bloodmoon Marlenny Nicothodes Sarachim Thank you everyone for playing. During this game, it became clear what worked and what didn't. If people want, I will run another, but things will be (hopefully) more balanced for a lot of people. I welcome comments and discussion by anyone below. The roles were as follows: Adventurer - Nicothodes Anama Priest - Master Ackrovan Anama Hunter - Ash Lael/Nioca Bound Servant - Tyranicus Darkside Blademaster - Excalibur Darkside Mage - Thuryl Dionicio - Alorael Empire Spy - Iffy Gladwell - Marlenny Machrone - Sarachim/Nikki Necromancer - Bloodmoon Shanker - Dikiyoba The game went as follows: Day 1 Dionicio discovers identity of Darkside Mage Anama Priest finds out Anama Hunter is NOT a magic user Darkside Mage puts curse on Darkside Blademaster Shanker protects Bound Servant Empire Spy follows Darkside Blademaster Day 2 Dionicio kills Darkside Mage Shanker protects Adventurer Anama Hunter discovers Dionicio is NOT an Anama member Gladwell causes Bound Servant to attack Shanker Bound Servant kills Shanker Bound Servant acquires Heroic Brew Adventurer sees Bound Servant looking suspicious Necromancer discovers identity of Darkside Mage Anama Hunter joins Gladwell. Anama Hunter receives Box of Traps from Gladwell. Day 3 Dionicio discovers identity of Necromancer Adventurer steals Heroic Brew from Bound Servant Machrone submits a question Machrone joins Gladwell Darkside Blademaster kills Dionicio Necromancer curses Anama Hunter Gladwell compels Bound Servant to attack Darkside Blademaster Anama Hunter uses Pathfinder Boots to follow Bound Servant Bound Servant is killed by Darkside Blademaster's counterattack Anama Hunter attacks Anama Priest, but is killed because he was cursed Day 4 Adventurer kills Anama Priest Adventurer recovers Pathfinder Boots Machrone submits a question Darkside Blademaster kills Empire Spy Darkside Blademaster gives Gladwell the Flaming Sword Gladwell gives Adventurer the Flaming Sword Adventurer kills Darkside Blademaster with Flaming Sword Necromancer receives items he needs from team members Machrone correctly identifies enough people Game Over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Excalibur, how did you identify me as Dionicio, or were you just attacking in the dark? —Alorael, who realized that he should have joined Gladwell shortly before dying. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 "Anama Hunter attacks Anama Priest, but is killed because he was cursed." How did this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 The Necromancer (Bloodmoon) targeted the Darkside Mage (Thuryl) and used his curse ability the next day on the Anama Hunter (Ash Lael). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I killed the Darkside Mage, the Necromancer identified the Darkside Mage, and the Necromancer used the Mage's ability to curse the Anama Hunter. —Alorael, who finds it unsurprising that Machrone won. Nobody benefits from hurting Machrone, his goals are compatible with everyone's, and he can make a nice anchor for conspiratorial gatherings. It's a very neat role to have around even without questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 For the sake of balance, I did add one person (the Empire Spy) that would benefit from killing him. However, it is a soft victory condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Interesting how Thuryl's call for random killings resulted in his death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 It was ironic, but that didn't lead to his death. Alorael (Dionicio) found out, by luck, that Thuryl was the DL Mage at the start of the game. His death was almost guaranteed at that point. The irony was that Thuryl made the comment on random deaths and then got killed right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Marlenny Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm so sorry, Excalibur. It was all Sarachim's idea!! Don't ever trust him Edit: Go us! Great game, Stareye. Diplomacy kicks Mafia's ass. I had the most fun I've had in the forums in a long time. It was short, fun, a bit scary at the end (with the whole bloodmoon fiasco), and it rocked. Again, thank you Stareye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'm sorry too, Excalibur. My goal was to help as many people win as possible, and if I hadn't double-crossed you nobody would have won but you and me. If there had been a way to get you into the winning alliance, I'd have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The only people I communicated privately with before dying were Excalibur and Marlenny. Excalibur I PMed immediately after his very suspicious comments about DLs on the first day; I got him to spill the beans about being the DL Blademaster, after which I revealed my own role and we formed a very brief alliance. (I cursed him as a bit of insurance before he revealed his identity, just in case his post had been some kind of trap.) Marlenny contacted me with a PM that gave out very little information, which led me to suspect she might be Gladwell (that being the role with the greatest motive to probe random people in PMs without revealing itself). Good to know I was right, even if it didn't help me much. It was fun while it lasted, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Sorry about killing you. It was dumb bloody luck that I caught you fast, although I was strongly considering random slaughter just to try to grab some artifacts, clear the field, and spark some discussion. I had Marlenny pegged as Machrone. Shows how much I know. I didn't respond to her prompting, but Ash got me into his little conspiratorial circle (with Marl, of course). Then I died before that could get anywhere. —Alorael, who still wants to know why he died and who had the Crystal Spire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I had the Crystal Spire from the beginning, but I never used it. Excalibur seems to have killed you at random, since he told me he didn't know your identity when he did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Callie Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Yes, Alorael was a random kill, well, I picked a person I hadn't contacted yet, but still. And people, don't apologize. I was thoroughly amused by my own lack of caution. I spilled everything I knew to Sarachim, and for some reason, it didn't occur to me that Sarachim was with Gladwell. That was a rather clever ruse to kill me with the Necromancer trap. I had been thinking about attacking Bloodmoon, and if that happened, I would have known Marlenny was lying. Also, oddly enough, I don't recall lying once throughout the whole game. Basically, I took a whole lot of risks, which led to my death. Thanks *i for doing this. I especially love how I fried Iffy with the wand of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Xaiya Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 You played this just to do it, didn't you? Meh, I'll just make a scenario with you in it. Then I'll hand the party a Wand of Death and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Sarachim Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I think she means that, near the end, it looked like you might refuse to join her. If you hadn't changed your mind, she'd have lost, because there was nobody else left alive to recruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
