Re: TV Tropes Mafia [DAY 5]
I really, really didn't mean to make this so long. I was making a game recap for myself, and then thought it'd be useful for everyone else, so I'm posting it. It focuses more on the actions of dead players than living ones, because we have a better idea of whether they were telling the truth or not.
Known Mafia in bold, known innocents underlined.
Night 0:
sreservoir killed. Gunshot wound. Only death that night. Possibility that
Dave Strider, who claimed to be a Praetorian Guard, turned a Mafia attack from
sreservoir on Kratos Aurion around.
Day 1* (page 1-10):
We become suspicious of
Superbird, but fear a lynch because of Alien risk.
Superbird hints that
Tailsy is Mafia.
Walker suggests we lynch Minnow instead.
Superbird votes for himself, saying that he is indeed Mafia, claiming
Minion With an F in Evil. Butterfree posts, saying that she edited the roleclaim too late, but "he only gave you the role trope and not the power trope", suggesting that Mafia aren't allowed to role/power claim? Minnow and
Bloodmania (both initially suggested by
Walker) are both suggested as acceptable lynching targets, but the day ends with more people abstaining and nobody dies.
Night 1:
Superbird is killed. Blood coming from ears.
Dave Strider is also found dead, in the form of "a splatter of gore".
Day 2 (p. 10-18):
Walker roleclaims Vigilante/
Coat Hat Mask and claims to have killed
Superbird. He denies killing
sreservoir on Night 0. Vixie roleclaims Inspector, and claims that she inspected
Mawile, who showed up as Mafia. She also claims that, from a previous inspection,
Tailsy is innocent. Crazy Linoone asks why
Mawile was inspected. Kratos very much doubts that
Tailsy is Mafia, but to be fair her reasoning makes a lot of sense.
Walker then claims to have targeted
Mawile on Night 0, only to have her not die.
Mawile then posts with the most bizzaire post we've had all game**, claiming that Vixie is also Mafia. The Innocents try and come up with a 'Protect
Walker' plan, while
Kusari raises some good points, including "why did Walker kill someone (and why Mawile?) on night 0?" and "Can't the Mafia talke to each other outside of the game?". Vixie says her role has something to do with numbers (???). Kratos suggests
Bloodmania for a random lynch. The lynching-
Bloodmania bandwagon starts, only for
Zora to jump in halfway through and explode on him. Both show up as non-Mafia, and the universe is still yet to come up with a decent explanation for these events.
Karkat Vantas claims a role which gives him some manner of protection from a Mafia hit in the night. When she is suggests as the next random-lynch, Minks claims a similar role. Rai-CH suggests
Joe Mama as a random-lynch, which everyone agrees with. Vixie claims to have 'personally picked' the inspection of
Tailsy.
Zhorken pops up, claims to be a
Mysterious Informant, and the information offered is "There is a Back Alley Doctor around".
Kusari suggests that
Superbird's death could be a result of
I Know Your True Trope.
Mai and Ketsu both also claim to be
Myserious Informants, and offer the information that someone is
Genre Savvy, and that "there are magic doctors and Nanomachine using doctors. The two sides don't get along". Joo Dee then makes the most ironic comment of the game so far***, and
Skylark also claims MI, but says s/he got the same info as
Zhorken.
Kusari suggests that the MIs revealing their roles is probably not safe.
Finally,
Joe Mama was lynched.
Night 2:
Walker found dead. Similarly to
Superbird, with blood coming from his ears. The flavourtext notes "his mouth fixed in a weirdly triumphant grin".
Unlike Superbird (wherein the mortician found no C.O.D.), internal bleedings are present. Different killer?
Mawile is found dead, with a knife in her back.
Zhorken,
Mai and
Skylark are all found dead, from 'sudden mysterious heart attacks'.
Day 3 (p. 19-23)
Kusari notes that Ketsu (the remaining MI) didn't die. Rai-CH and
Kusari agree that more roleclaiming is a bad idea. Snorlax roleclaims as a MI and offers "My information was the Police Are Useless, but are very consistently so.". Jack
sort of roleclaims MI. Vixie claims that blazheirio889 is not Mafia. Jack claims that "In particular, you've heard that language can, in fact, be surprisingly deadly, if employed with enough precision."
Wargle also roleclaims MI and says "you hang around in all sorts of places and know the talk of the town, and it just might be of use to somebody. Well, you haven't really noticed anything strange, but perhaps that's exactly what's so strange: you'd think there would be gang wars in such a populous town...?". This suggests there is only one Mafia faction.
Foamy pops, avoids roleclaiming, and says that there's more than one Doctor and "a player who can be at least loosely called an alien".
Minks roleclaims, stating that she's a
Body Double with the power
Decoy Getaway.
Littlestream is nominated for lynching, and she claims to be a
Non-action Guy with the power
What Kind of Lame Power is Heart Anyway. Emerald Espeon backs her up, saying she too is a vanillia townie. ole_schooler suggests we lynch Big Red Cherry Bomb instead.
Littlestream says she's suspicious of Karkat, leading him to roleclaim the same as Minks (Body Double).
Littlestream is then lynched.
Night 3:
Lupine Volt is found dead in the form of spattered remains (similar to Dave Strider's death discription).
RIGHT I've been doing this for like two hours now and I have a train to get, so I'll leave this here. If anyone else wants to continue the recap, please go ahead, else I'll do so myself when I have the time and an internet connection (which might not be for some time - I probably won't be around for the next three days, please don't think my absence suspicious).
NOTES:
* Midnight thought
sreservoir's death was subverted by Kratos.
res's death was all Kratos's fault, I think. or at least partly his fault. go kratos!
If there was a discussion among Mafia who to kill, she would've known that Kratos was the target that night, and that something would've then had to have backfired in order for there to be no dead Kratos and a dead Mafia. This statement was made
before Dave said he protected Kratos that night. This stikes me as rather suspicious, and nobody's mentioned it so far, so: why did you think this, Midnight?
** The post:
Mawile said:
Vixie- We're on the same side. Are you trying to make us lose?
Yep. Vixie's mafia- as am I.
This makes
no sense for a number of reasons:
1. We know there's only one faction of Mafia so it's not like wiping out the competition.
2. Claiming to be Mafia right after someone with credibility has said you're an Activated Alien (ie. the role the Innocents
least want to lynch) is like taking your inflatable liferaft and stabbing it.
3. By letting the Innocents know who a Mafia is, Vixie gains a lot of trust, even if it means killing a fellow Mafia. But Mawile dies protesting that Vixie is also Mafia (which we assume now she is) - but
why do it?
*** The comment:
...the only good thing about all of these roleclaims is that the mafia(s) can't kill all of you in one night.
Either that is actually
hilariously ironic, or very suspicious. To me, at least, the good thing about these roleclaims is the Myserious Informants are giving us useful information, and the "mafia can't kill you all in one night" thing is a bit out of the blue, no?
