Sprites!Mafia [Game]

[Vipera Magnifica]

No, I'm pretty sure Vriska's the only fake here. And given that outburst, I wouldn't be too surprised if ol' blobby has recently joined her side.

 

[M&F]

hahahaha oh my god

Anyway, is having one bodyguard any more viable than, like, having two healers? Having a bodyguard would, like, make a lot more sense if there were, like, only on healer. Am I, like, missing something here?

Actually, having double healers is a bit of a staple, duh. Usually, with the li'l problem that if they both go for the same person, they'll end up killing that person instead.

It's not unusual at all, and the swimming human even said that her PM implies that this setup is in here, duh.

Also, really you people, alignment-changing backup is something I haven't seen anytime ever. Even if I could absorb mafia powers, that wouldn't turn me into mafia, it'd just give me a (potentially useless) innocent variant, duh. My job description is "copies powers", not "copies entire roles".

 

[Mai]

So this is where discussion ends.

Unfortunately, there are only two contradictory votes...

So we'll have an ultimate-excitement once-in-a-lifetime bring-back-the-dead special!

Stay tuned! Who knows what will happen?

We'll leave the life-or-death decision to our Chiaki Nanami, our own temporary Lady Stoneheart! Who will she kill?

 

[Mai]

For a while, all eyes are on Monobear, waiting for a clue - there was no sign of the dead Chiaki, only a cackling bear. But eventually Monobear turns, gesturing, and the decision-maker appears: Chiaki Nanami's throat is badly patched, pipes and open wires visible in her new android body. And though her voice synthesizer is faint and grainy, here words are clear enough: Metallica Fanboy.

On her cue, the rest of the townsfolk pounce. The blob doesn't give up without a fight, but is quickly overwhelmed, without having a specific target to attack. He's pummeled to death, and the townsfolk examine his body, looking for some incriminating evidence. But there is none to be found, even when Monobear opens his house to the living to look at. Chiaki, looking remorseful, stares at the innocent blob's body - and cackling, Monobear takes out a remote and clicks its red button. Chiaki's body starts to short and shuts off. It's beginning to smoke, an awful burning smell congesting the air, and Monobear demands that the townspeople head off to their homes for safety if nothing else.

Metallica Fanboy is dead. He was innocent.
Night has begun. It will end in 24 hours.

 

[Mai]

... * 48 hours.

 

[M&F]

Well, there goes the awesome thing I've been setting up, duh.

 

[Mai]

Again, the townspeople rarely stir from their homes out of fear. Now, the risk of death was real and immediate, they thought. They go out to the square eventually, and find both Eifie and Vanilla Mongoose missing; they head to Godot's house first, finding him also strangled - and the body of Henry is nearby, hung from the ceiling fan. You wonder what would happen if you turn the fan on, and immediately feel awful for it - there's no evidence that either of them were anything but innocent, tragic victims.

Eifie is dead. She was innocent.
Vanilla Mongoose is dead. He was innocent.
Day has begun. It will end in 48 hours.

 

[Keldeo]

...

There are five people left. ...one of us is mafia.

1. I liek Squirtles. Apollo Justice. Claimed bodyguard.
2. Ether's Bane. Vriska Serket. Claimed doctor.
3. Alligates. Aoi Asahina. Claimed doctor.
4. Majora. Sunflora. Claimed bleeder.
5. DarkAura. Corphish. Claimed oracle.

Mr. Godot was strangled like Chiaki, but Mr. Henry was on the ceiling fan. They were both in Mr. Godot's house. Does this mean anything to anyone? How exactly do you hang someone from a ceiling fan? ...Well, the worst case today would be if we accidentally lynched someone who was innocent and tonight Mr. Vriska and I healed the same person, and whoever is mafia kills someone as well. Then in the morning, the mafia would win... Otherwise, we would outnumber the mafia two to one the next day. I think the best way to avoid that is for one of me and Mr. Vriska to say who they are healing and for the other to heal someone who isn't that person.

We have no leads, so I don't know what to do. Does anyone else have any ideas, besides just randomly... killing someone?

 

[Ether's Bane]

8rgh!!!!!!!!

I f8rg8t my n8ght 8ction!!!!!!!!

Gr8, now we have none of the leads. None of them. D::::

 

[I liek Squirtles]

I wonder what they were doing...

Let's backtrack a bit, shall we?

Mr. Henry claimed he and Mr. Godot were fishing brothers. This first one claimed to be able to put hexes if either one of them died...

The way I see it, there are two possible scenarios:

First, that Henry's curses only affect the target if he died, making Godot the victim of the mafia's attack. If Henry hanged himself, this theory would make more sense.

Second, Alligates healed the target. Did you heal anyone last night?

 

[Eifie]

Oooh... blood...

I'm sorry Mai I've just wanted to do that all game

 

[Vipera Magnifica]

Oooh... blood...

I'm sorry Mai I've just wanted to do that all game

Blood? What are you talking a...

Oh shit, right, I'm supposed to be dead.

 

[Mai]

If there are no votes in 24 hours, the kill will be randomized.

 

[Keldeo]

I don't want to do this, but, to prevent the kill from being randomized...

I'm going to nominate DarkAura for death. Her claim sounded kind of suspicious... Even if it's true, she said she'd be inactive, and she also hasn't been online for almost a week now.

Mr. Justice, I healed myself last night. I'm going to heal myself tomorrow night as well, so Mr. Vriska, please don't heal me... I know the mafia will just target someone who isn't me, but if there's heal clash and Corphish is innocent, the mafia will win, and this way we have a 25% chance of blocking the kill!

 

[Mai]

((Sorry, but I don't think I should keep this open until tomorrow, and am a bit tired to be writing meaningful flavor text.))

The townspeople, once again, fix their rage on DarkAura and this time literally rip the crustacean apart. Perhaps the pokemon would need to be boiled to be eaten, but the townspeople are getting hungry - it's way past dinnertime for most of them, and they leave to Corphish's house, hoping to find food or evidence, either one. They find neither, and feel guilty.

DarkAura is dead. She was innocent.
48 hours for night actions.

 

[Mai]

The townspeople, or what's left of them, leave their beds late to head to the square. They're increasingly reluctant to move out - after all, they've come to expect what's waiting, and only feel obligated to enact revenge now, rather than excited. The missing person today is Vriska, and by heading to the troll's house they see yet another dead, strangled body. No other evidence was found.

Ether's Blade is dead. He was innocent.
Day has begun. It will end in 48 hours.

 

[Keldeo]

(Er, you didn't kill Ether's Bane.)

We have three people left. We've claimed doctor, bodyguard, bleeder. One of us is mafia... Hey, look what epicmafia says about bleeders!

Bleeders shot during the day can be protected during the following night and will die at the end of the day after instead.
A lynch will cause a Bleeder to start bleeding, and has the same effects as if they were shot during the day.

There are three possibilities:

1. I liek Squirtles is mafia.
2. Majora is mafia.
3. I'm mafia. However, this isn't valid because I know I'm innocent, but that doesn't do a lot for proving my innocence, eh. But for the sake of reasoning, I'll eliminate this for now.

Then, we have 4 cases, assuming everyone town is telling the truth:
1. I liek Squirtles is mafia. Today, we lynch I liek Squirtles and win the game.
2. I liek Squirtles is mafia. Today, we lynch Majora.
-This can have four outcomes. 1: Tonight, I heal myself, and ILS targets me. Majora bleeds out and the mafia win. 2: Tonight, I heal myself, and ILS targets Majora with no effect. He bleeds out and the mafia win. 3: Tonight, I heal Majora, and ILS targets me. I die and the mafia win. 4: Tonight, I heal Majora, and ILS targets him with no effect. Since Majora won't die until the end of the next day, we lynch ILS and the town wins. However, ILS will always target me, both because targeting Majora will have no effect and there is no way for me to prevent both my and Majora's deaths if he targets me.
3. Majora is mafia. Today, we lynch I liek Squirtles and the mafia win.
4. Majora is mafia. Today, we lynch Majora and we win.

So, either lynch has a 50/50 chance of either their eventual win or our win...

I'm slightly more suspicious of I liek Squirtles because Apollo Justice is the only one who could strangle anyone: Sunflora doesn't learn Bind or really have anything to strangle people with, but that's just based on flavor. Also, having two doctors and a bodyguard seems suspicious... For now I'm going to vote I liek Squirtles. But, I'll retract it if he defends himself persuasively. Does anyone have anything to say?

(holy wow this is ooc but I'm too tired to change it haha sorry)

 

[Keldeo]

(Er, you didn't kill Ether's Bane.)

(Or DarkAura. :V)

 

[kyeugh]

ooc: Can't believe I'm alive despite my inactivity! Woo.

I think my choice is obvious! I, like, vote DarkAura!

Ahaha! Just, like, kidding. It wasn't in bold, it doesn't even count!! I, like, vote to lynch I liek Squirtles.

 

[I liek Squirtles]

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold your horses!

I am a bodyguard, I can't deny it. I protected Ether's Bane last night, see.

But there is something I should clarify.

My action only lands half of the time; an attorney can't win 'em all, you know? But if the action goes through, I bodyguard successfully always.

And before we completely clear Majora of blame, I remember Sunflora used vines in Guardian Signs, something Bulbapedia confirms:

It creates vines around itself that make Pokémon Slowed[/img]
There's also this picture from the anime:

Spoiler

I vote Majora. If he's mafia, we win. If he's not, then lynch me.
