Posts from Mafia 112. Pirates of the HW Sea

But you are not the captain of a city...

I am the captain of all self-respecting pirates

Do you also buy games from the green store?

Early

The passage to the Flying Dutchman's captain's cabin was under vigilant guard, so we couldn't use Fragment's death as a distraction. We had to fight our way through. Wrathful Lizard and Draccocat managed to reach the defenseless heart.

- Come on, pierce it, you've dreamed of this so much!
- Well, I don't know, I certainly wanted to sail the seas and oceans forever, but tentacles just don't suit me...
- No time to hesitate, stab it!
- Or maybe a pair of tentacles isn't so bad... I wonder what happens if you cut them off?...

Hearing the cries of his wounded comrades, Wrathful Lizard couldn't bear it and pierced the sea devil's heart with his saber. The slaughter on the ship stopped instantly. Siverfale clutched his chest, staggered, and, casting one last glance at his crew, fell overboard.

The remaining crew members of the Flying Dutchman, having lost their growths and tentacles, welcomed their new captain, Wrathful Lizard. Sky, appearing from who knows where, galloped up with a pistol stolen from someone and jumped onto his master's shoulder, tilting his head to the side and making a teasing face.

Draccocat regretted her hesitation in the moment, but she still had the Black Pearl, albeit in a semi-destroyed state.

AstralLein, realizing the game was lost, slowly raised his pistol to his temple with the words "It's a business approach" and pulled the trigger. He didn't manage to completely rid the Heroes Sea of piracy, but sooner or later those who will finish the job will be found.

Got it, so Kosha redirected us to the monkey. The great mystery has finally been revealed. We were racking our brains as a whole Mafia.

Well, considering that in the first few nights, the Mafia was just randomly eliminating players for fun, losing with only one move left until victory is a very respectable result, in my opinion.

Drakkosha — Jack Sparrow

CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW, OK

It turned out to be a fun game. At first, as usual, I was doing my favorite thing, that is, goofing around and suffering enjoying nonsense. I started participating somewhere on the third night, when Neyru was killed. I thought, okay, the jokes are over, mindlessly following another player won't work, I need to start playing seriously. But... My brain, which had been feeling not so good since May, finally gave up at that time, exhausted by drawing deadlines and four hours of sleep. The one and a half brain cells that were still showing signs of life were focused on the experience gain – I was more interested in the activity there; in the Mafia, they'll kill you and that's it, but in the experience gain, I had to save my criminal. As a result, I was acting like an idiot, especially on the last day, when I decided that Yashchura was blocking Nebok, not the Mafia. Fortunately, you don't need a brain for making jokes and being high, I can generate that in large quantities. So, I hope that I at least made the Mafia fun not only for myself but also for other players. In my opinion, the main thing in any game is to have fun and have a good time.
I thought that since I was the comic relief throughout the game, instead of Starfire, I should have been playing Quent on Beast Boy; I would have gotten into the character better, lol.

Thank you to the Game Master for the setting, and to everyone else for the game. Congratulations to my team and Nebok on the victory. You're all awesome.

It was somewhat amusing to watch Yashur's posts, where he complained that healers and defenders rarely visited him, while he himself had blocked a healer who was heading to his castle and could have saved him on the first night, and later blocked a defender who was heading to him on the third night.

Aoi Tori (Kraken) kills Morning (Elizabeth Swann) while ignoring her armor.

This is, of course, a budget Natalie Portman, but it's good enough for the first night. I made a big mistake at the very beginning – I wanted to play an active daytime game, but I quickly realized that it's impossible to do that at the same time as gaining experience in the neighboring thread. I ended up trapping myself in a kind of "police trap," and I obviously attracted too much attention to myself. I feel a little sorry for the Mafia because the Monkey is essentially a ninth townie who can't be killed, and with the ultimate resurrection ability, it's even 10-3, but this should have been raised before the roles were distributed, so it's not a complaint. Thank you to the Game Master, it was interesting. Honestly, I can't even remember if I've ever played the role of a Mafia member in the past million games.

Nebok just decided to be helpful to the city. He could have just as easily started playing for the Mafia, and then we would have been in trouble. Maybe he would have even started forming alliances with you, lol.

The clues were never solved, although some of them were quite simple.

I watched the game. It was interesting to read the newspapers.

And yes, Mr. Yashchur, if you seriously thought that the Mafia had figured out all the roles in the first few turns, then no... We only figured out Revan almost at the very beginning, and even then with a considerable amount of intuition; everything else came later than we would have liked. Well, I was sweating like crazy, I took the game very seriously, oh my! I lied, I repeatedly tried to manipulate and bait... nothing worked; I could have just kept quiet for almost the entire game, in principle. So it was just role-playing, if you will. All the toxicity was for that purpose. Although, at the moment of Heroist's execution, I was quite upset. And not without reason: if he hadn't died that turn, things would have been more successful, most likely. And in the finale, I surrendered sincerely because I realized that Heaven clearly owed Yashchur something in life, and there was nothing left to catch. Overall, everything was quite interesting and worthwhile, except for the fact that Heaven clearly skewed the balance in favor of the town. It's quite ironic that, despite this, he had bad luck with stealing for half the game (although he revealed the Kraken, but later than we did), and then he got himself a great gun at the most opportune moment. The chance was 66%, of course, but nevertheless. Who decided to shoot Yashchur? All three Mafia members unanimously supported this idea; I won't say who proposed it, but it wasn't me. Nevertheless, I gladly went to kill on the first night because I wanted to make some kind of play. I am, after all, a newbie; it's interesting, and all that. So, it turns out that I did practically nothing: Yashchur was resurrected, the blocks were in the wrong places, the first block somehow killed Heroist, and in the finale, I could only block Yashchur 24/7 or sit in his block; there was no third option. I didn't use my ultimate ability because the game didn't allow it. I also didn't use my protection from execution. I should have defended Revan by drawing attention to myself, not by canceling votes at the last minute. Why did we defend? Just for an extra turn. And we did it wrong. Instead of blocking, I went to kill, but I should have blocked Yashchur and killed Fragment. Revan was going to kill Kosh and would have killed her. -2 town members. But instead, it was only one. And you'll say, "Well, what idiots were playing for the Mafia," but it's easy to talk at the end of the game. There was no evidence of what to do; all that was in my head was "kill Barbossa at any cost." And Revan could have struck back out of revenge; anyway, he would have been executed in the end, and we wouldn't have won. The right move was made on the last night, but it was too late. Heaven could have simply killed Yashchur and won without delay; it seems obvious to me that Beckett wouldn't have gone directly to attack Barbossa because Will is still alive, plus there's the roulette with a block from Yashchur. But he would have killed Will, revealing Yashchur. But Heaven is even willing to drag the game on for a million turns for the sake of the town. Ah, how romantic!

I thought Revan would go to eat the corpse on the second night. If he had done that, the monkey wouldn't have burned him. But it was hard to predict that.

If Nebu had gotten a hat instead of a pistol, the finale would have been more interesting. The town would have had to really figure out who was who in the mafia, instead of using readily available information. But it turned out the way it did.

But considering that the Mirks were very strong with the monkey and Tia, who played her ultimate perfectly, I'm satisfied with the result.

And yes, Yashur and his blocks at the beginning were a complete meme. As they say, they wanted to help him, but... he essentially killed himself with a block.

Added after 13 minutes
What else did I want to say... no one guessed any of the clues, and I didn't even understand how they were supposed to be solved. By the way, they don't seem simple to me in their final form. I wouldn't even be able to figure myself out. Obviously, the image of Oswald draws too much attention to the necromantic essence.

Speaking of which, why did I even bother with him... A name, surname, and a couple more words would have been enough, lol. Now I'll have to find somewhere else to use it, otherwise it's a waste.

Well, thank you for the game. I hope next time I'll be on the same side as Nebo. Although it's definitely more convenient to play as the Mafia, at least you have to guess fewer players + the cozy chat with the Master, where it's so easy to bombard him with questions. And there's protection... not for everyone, but still. I would give Kraken protection from execution, by the way. Without it, he has no chance of winning at all. He'll be revealed and executed anyway. But with protection from execution, he might still buy some time and finish off someone, although that's unlikely.

Well, sweeties, that's a business approach.

P.S. I only noticed later that I also gave a clue about Ment.

No worries, I'm not offended.
Master, you surely know a thing or two about math. You should understand that, given the fairly mild condition that each wiki page has approximately 3 reasonable transitions, a 6-chain clue represents 729 possibilities. And that's assuming we already suspect Revan in being the culprit, otherwise, multiply by the number of suspects. And that's assuming we know there are 6 chains, otherwise, add the 4- and 5-chain possibilities.
I am absolutely convinced that such a clue is equivalent to its absence.)))

You guys had a lot of fun on the last day, a classic HW-style execution based on sympathies. Funny, I might have chosen the Mafia on Nebk's place, at least I would have thought about it. But thanks for having us.)

My respects to all the players, Monkeytown with the victory.

Master, thank you for the game.

Nay, give me a high five, we figured out the negative in the first day 🖐
