VOTING RESULTS.

Zlobny Yashchur - 2 (Ment, Neyra Drake)
NNV - 1 (Zlobny Yashchur)

Most of the city is in ruins, but we're used to it! We just need to figure out what to do with the troll rampaging in the center of town...

THE NINTH NIGHT BEGINS

So, where is the newspaper?

NEMESIS

After the death of the dark lord, all the fury of the elements descended upon Silverlane! A destructive meteor shower was replaced by acid rains, followed by a hurricane that ripped trees up by their roots. By morning, everything fell silent... Well, the greatest mage perished in this war... What a pity he was not on our side!
Under the cover of chaos, Evil Lizard successfully left the city, grabbing Ment along the way to satisfy his hunger... He did not want to return to the border forest, where he had already broken half the trees, and headed north in search of a new home where no one would disturb him. The troll settled in the Forest of Shadows, bordering steep cliffs, which even the wood elves avoided. There he stumbled upon a deep cave. A small town of dark elves once existed there. In its depths, the Troll found his kin, who, escaping extermination, had decided to hide in the cave, only to find it was already inhabited. After slaughtering all the dark elves and destroying their city, they hid here for 5 years, showing themselves to no one. Ultimately, we decided that all trolls were destroyed and we had nothing left to fear...
Once a leader of the dwarves, who had been under Argat's hypnosis for a long time, managed to escape the battlefield but never recovered from the devastating effects of dark magic. Despite the death of the dark lord, he continued to hear voices and screams tearing through his brain. Finally, wishing to rid himself of the unbearable torment, Gekasan_RU killed himself with his own battle axe...
Meanwhile, Neira Drake, uniting the forces of humans and elves under one flag, led the assault on Argat's fortress. She also called upon an army of trolls for help, giving them a good acceleration. Many warriors fell during the storming of the enemy fortress despite the small number of its defenders, but ultimately, the alliance forces managed to capture Adverd, putting an end to this war!...

Before newspaper №2, a story ("New Threat") was presented in which 6 merchants spoke about their discovery. The numbers in the clue correspond to the speaker numbers. First is number 5, meaning attention should be paid to the 5th speaker's line. It contains one gross spelling error:

GAME OVER. THE TROLL WON!

Added after 44 seconds
I'll go over the individuals a bit later

Yeah. “Thanks” to Sindin for repeatedly intentionally speeding up the Lizardman…

A cool mafia emerged. The city, of course... words fail me... well, you get the idea...

Added 7 minutes later

GenIn – InGen, a corporation from the Jurassic Park movie – Jurassic period – Mesozoic era – location of Yaschur

Yaschur, by the way, you were very wrong to say that my clue was absurd, etc. After those words, I was already sure that you were a troll. If it weren't for the second clue, which was of a higher level, I wouldn't even have bothered to question you.

Added 1 minute later
In the first night, I made a mistake, I should have questioned the person with immunity.

I hope this game serves as a good lesson for all fans of alliances with a "maniac" who reveals himself on the third day, right?

I would like to thank my team, good game, we were close to an early victory, but alas.
I would like to highlight Nebka and Shaman from our team, at least they tried to solve the clues, reason, and play the Mafia game...
Thank you to everyone else for the game, sorry if I offended anyone or hurt anyone's feelings... I'm really sorry.

Neyra and Yashchur, congratulations on your victory!

An interesting riddle, by the way, with numbers and errors in the words. If you read the newspaper very carefully, you can notice them, but it is unlikely that anyone will believe in the plausibility of such a solution.

Ah, how could I forget, Master? Thank you very much for the setting! It was a great game, with well-written newspaper descriptions, everything was perfect.

The setting, despite seeming simple, turned out to be quite intricate, with many limiting factors for both the Mafia and the Serial Killer. It only seems like everything is going smoothly, but then you fall apart. And that continues until the very end of the game.
But the town certainly impressed with its naivety and belief in the endless friendship with the troll. If we hadn't been exposed in such a terrible way, everything would have likely happened faster.
The only thing is, the ending was rather slow and incomplete, but how could it be otherwise when everyone knows each other?

Added 1 minute ago
In any case, this was one of the best Mafia games I've participated in; thank you very much to the GM for the great work on the setting and the game itself.

604 posts until the record; not all is lost yet ^_^

Okay, let’s go for a new record! We already have a record for NNV, now let’s set a record for the number of discussions!

:smile03::smile03::smile03: Thanks to everyone for the game. :smile03::smile03::smile03:

Yeah. "Thanks" to Sindin, who deliberately sped up the Yaschur so many times...

Actually, that was the only counterargument to your redirection. So Sindin did everything right.:smile20:

Added 4 minutes ago

I hope this game will be a good lesson for all lovers of alliances with a "maniac" who "revealed himself" on the third day, right?

Well, if the "maniac" had been hanged immediately, as you "suggested," the city would have lost. But if the mafia had been hanged on the 4th turn, the city would have had a chance. But instead of the mafia, the king was hanged...
And yes, the "maniac" didn't reveal himself. You and Olam "revealed" him.

Added 4 minutes ago

Yaschur, by the way, you were very wrong to say that my clue was nonsense, etc.

Well, it didn't occur to me that the Master would change letters in words. I think it wasn't a very good idea...

In my opinion, it's not a very good idea...

Well, compared to Heroes of Might and Magic V, IV, III, and I, this is still a minor clue.

5 4 3 _ 1
Before newspaper #2, a story ("New Threat") was presented, in which 6 merchants told about their discovery. The numbers in the clue correspond to the numbers of the storytellers. First comes the number 5, which means you need to pay attention to the 5th storyteller's remark. It contains one gross spelling error:
"We rushed to help, but it was already too late... ... ...oh well, if some army decides to storm this Fortress, the attackers risk simply not reaching its walls..." According to the rules, instead of C, there should be Z.
Now the same with the 4th remark:
"Rays of the sun apparently never penetrated there. It's creepy in general. Someone shouted something, but there was no answer..." The letter L is missing in the word.
Next, the 3rd remark:
"What people could have created this?!" Instead of A, there should be O.
Next, a space.
Next, the first remark:
"Having received information about the impending attack on our caravan, we decided..." Instead of E, there should be Я.
We get ZLO_YA – EVIL LIZARD.

:smile20: I liked it. It's unconventional, of course, but funny.

The Evil Lizard (Troll) kills Ment’a (Tanriel) (the kill is redirected to Ment’a).

The 1/3 chance of winning didn’t work out. Or was it 1/2? Never mind.
It was a good game; I really enjoyed the newspapers, the interesting setting, and the good, empathetic host (though a bit too talkative). The daytime executions... yes, those were something. But overall, it was quite interesting. And the Lizard was great, as I said.
And it was great to play as a team. It was very, very enjoyable playing with Nefela; she says many smart things, is always active, and is just great.
----------
Oh yes, Jass. The clues – that was rough. Don’t give clues based on “look at this number, then look at that number”... Seriously. These are clues; they should be more humanistic, what’s going on?)

Okay, now let's go through each player individually. 1. Neyra Drake Didn't demonstrate very active gameplay, but at the most crucial moment for the town, her action prevented the Mafia from securing an early victory, and instead helped the only "defender" of the town – the Maniac. :D In the late game, she could have even brought victory to the town, but she was a bit unlucky. Thanks for the game! 2. SnowmanV2 One of the most active players, if not the most active. He really embraced the role of the Boss's right-hand man. ;) He constantly confused the town during daytime discussions and suggested the risky idea of "controlling" the Troll, which was successful and almost brought his team an early victory. The Mafia really missed him in the final. Thanks for the game! 3. Alexeagle Also actively participated in discussions within his team and suggested targeting himself with healing on the night he was going to be killed. It's a shame he didn't have time to fully realize his potential. Thanks for the game! 4. mika Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, he couldn't actively participate in the game, but despite being busy, he consistently sent his Night Action. He confused the town and the Mafia a bit by healing an immune player on the first night. :) Thanks for the game! 5. Nefela Actively participated in discussions and expressed very interesting thoughts in the chat. (If you can, post your table here). After the first night, she managed to link the Mafia clue to the Maniac killer and the Maniac clue to the Mafia killer. :rolleyes: She was a reliable support for her teammate and almost made it to the final. Thanks for the game! 6. oven666 Provided good analysis of the newspapers. Entertained the girls in the palace. :) Remained a mystery to the Mafia for a long time. However, he lacked a bit of experience in playing in similar setups. Thanks for the game! 7. KindShaman Also one of the most active players. Made good attempts to decipher the clue, and one of them was very interesting, even though it was an incorrect guess. He unnerved the town and the Maniac on one of the days, but overall, he performed well. Thanks for the game! 8. Gekasan_RU Played as Mafia for the 3rd time in a row. Acted in his usual manner. :) In the late game, he decided not to sit back and take a risk, but he ended up killing himself. Thanks for the game! 9. Ment Played well, performed well in discussions and in the chat. He could have secured victory for the town several times with his actions, but he was a bit unlucky (he targeted the wrong Mafia members). Thanks for the game! 10. Vall d'Emeroll Played quite actively, despite being busy. She used her Night Actions wisely, but she also lacked a bit of luck. Special thanks for bringing three good players to the forum! Thanks for the game! 11. Mona Practically no activity, but without her, the beginning of the game would have been even more drawn out. Thanks for the game! 12. Kostyakkk Also not very active (maybe he decided to embrace the role and remain in the shadows), but when needed, he joined the game and confused the town a bit. He remained a mystery to them until almost the very end of the game. Thanks for the game! 13. Zlobny Yashchur Personally, I really liked his game. One of the best, if not the best, player in this Mafia game. He found his role. He quickly identified the Mafia and used his abilities to the fullest. He led the town. He won despite being identified practically at the very beginning of the game! Thanks for the game! 14. Olam Hael Also played his role very well, forcing me to rack my brain over the obliteration of questions. He was the only one who deciphered the clue. It's a pity that he was eliminated from the game so early. Thanks for the game! 15. Arandor In this case, the role of the town's killer went to the right person, but the evil Mafia didn't let him play. :smile10: Thanks for the game! 16. Heroist Also performed excellently in the game, but he relaxed a bit when victory was almost in the Mafia's hands. He could have easily carried the final if he had stayed alive. He deserved to at least make it to the final. Thanks for the game!
