Posts from Мафия 108. Haunted asylum
I'll reiterate that I enjoyed the town game. Yes, there wasn't much information in the news in the last few days, but that was mainly due to the Mafia and Tox. The psychological aspect really kicked in. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's great when, until the very end of the game, there isn't a clear table showing 100% certainty about everyone's roles. Until the last day, everything could have shifted in one direction or another. Crabby didn't really know who was playing in the Mafia. He could have easily voted for Lynx, and the final outcome would have been completely different. This style of play is more demanding and unpredictable, but also more interesting.
Crestfallen Ariake, honestly, I didn't expect to see you as one of the town's leaders with high activity; you were a pleasant surprise. Towards the end of the game, it was noticeable that your motivation had waned, but until you were revealed, you played very well, and your intuition was excellent.
Graf Orlov, another pleasant surprise. You were very active and immediately established yourself as almost a 100% town member, and others were willing to follow you. Some of your posts simply made my day. Especially post #515, which was simply the best. It helped me to relieve some stress on that difficult day.
Nefela, at first, you lacked activity, but that changed later. You completely confused the Mafia; they thought you were Cliff for almost the entire game. You played very well during the executions; I don't remember you ever voting against a town member. I don't think so. Your accuracy in night actions was amazing – every investigation had a middling IQ. And your decision to use Mind Control at the end of the night decided the fate of Nebo and Yashchur (I had already gathered evidence against Nebo at that point, and then this happened:)).
Goomer, I understand that you were probably just trying to joke, not reveal yourself. Still, it would have been better to ask me if it was okay to do that. I hope you understand and aren't offended by me.
Zlobny Yashchur, you played well, but you brought a lot of chaos into the game. At one point, I thought you were deliberately trying to get yourself killed to clear your name 100%. You certainly didn't have much luck with your cover, in every sense of the word.
ToX, you were extremely responsible and highly motivated. Overall, that's good, but everything needs to be in moderation. The second day was quite tiring and stressful for me. But you are still one of the reasons why this game will be remembered. I hope the right conclusions will be drawn regarding the killings.
Morning, the game would have definitely been more fun if you hadn't died so early. I think the role suited you well, but if it weren't for all the chaos on the second day, who knows how things would have turned out.
macca, if you had been a little more active and participated more in the executions, things could have gone differently. I hope this isn't your last game here.
Fragment, Mestear, Neyko, you are a great team, a real team. You played strongly during the day, created a lot of chaos at night, and were determined to fight until the end. You deserved to win; congratulations again!
Crabby, apart from a couple of chaotic actions at night, I think you played perfectly for such a very difficult role. Congratulations on the victory!
Nebo, you also played the role of the Serial Killer very well, but you were unlucky at night. Everything could have turned out completely differently if it hadn't been for Nefela's Mind Control.
Thank you all again for participating! I hope I managed to make this game interesting.

But nothing stopped anyone. After all, the main goal was to kill the murderer.
This is thanks to you and Nefela. It doesn't excuse him....
By the way, Nebo, you definitely knew my role. You knew that the peacemaker was lynched (or not?). Why did you go after the peacemaker?If Graf and Rev remained, they would definitely have won against the 3 ghosts, right?

suspicions of being a lizardman
You definitely compromised your principles on the last day.
You're not entirely right about Charlie, he could have independently countered the mafia at night if the targets were two mafia members; they wouldn't have been able to kill.
Without the right information, all these town night actions are worthless. Tox and Massa will confirm...
Evil Lizardman, played at a decent level, but brought a lot of chaos into the game. At one point, I thought you were deliberately trying to get yourself hanged to clear your name 100%.
Если где-то чего-то убудет, то в другом месте добавится.
(Закон сохранения).
And I didn't even think I'd make it to the end...
It's a very unusual game, probably the strangest of all the ones I've played.
Knowing only a few roles throughout the game and still trying to help the mafia, not just during the day but also at night – that's tough %)
Neyra, sorry for the block, I thought you were Salzman)))
I'll start by saying that I didn't really like the initial setting; it seemed like a lot of different roles were thrown together, but they weren't connected in any way. But MasteR managed to connect them all into one story, which was interesting to read, so huge respect to him!
Also, it was great that almost everyone actively participated in the game, writing long texts and trying to help their team.
I especially enjoyed playing with Graf Orlov, although I tried to subtly shift all the responsibility for the executed onto him %) It seems like we haven't played together before (or I just forgot), but I'd like to play with you on the same team again.
I feel bad for Morning; he was eliminated quickly, so he didn't have time to really develop in this game.
Crestfallen Ariake, it's a shame that your strength waned; it was noticeable in your messages. I think you could have steered the city in the right direction and won the game, but you just lacked a bit of audacity)
A little more pressure from your side, and our words wouldn't have sounded so bad. And if you had followed up with facts, you could have led the city to victory; I'm sure people would have followed you.
Zlobny Yashchur, your game as a city member was top-notch; if I were a city member, I would definitely vote for you every day %) Especially cool was the execution of everyone on the last day)))
Nefelu, I honestly didn't quite understand you, even though I tried to read carefully. Now I see what you meant, and if the city had listened to you, things could have been very different))
ToX, Goomer, I hope you're not offended; I just got into the role))
Nebo, my son, played excellently; it was fun to watch how you sometimes dodged questions or deflected blame %)
Well, and of course, the Ghost team
I was sure until the end of the game that Neyko was a town member. I even wanted to check his role on the first night, play as a pair, and confuse the city together. I didn't get to find out his role, but we still had to play on the same team, haha
Fragment didn't have much luck; if he hadn't been executed then, he might have made it to the end of the game.
Mestear sometimes gave himself away as a mafia member, but we didn't focus on that, and the town members, it seems, didn't notice, so everything went smoothly.
Thank you all for the game; it was very cool!
I don't quite agree with you about ToX and Goomer – I understand that they could have ruined the game (but they didn't), but they still added some excitement and action.
In ToX's case, I'm sure it was genuine, so there's nothing wrong with that. He still kept himself in check, although it seems like he was ready to tell everyone what we were all like )))
Well, Goomer, it seems, signed up for the game for no reason; maybe he didn't have the time or desire, etc.
Once again, respect to MasteR for a super complex but excellently run game!
When is the next one :)
Added 2 minutes ago
P.S. Let's not announce the list of participants for the next game so that Neyra doesn't have an excuse not to sign up %)
Sky, my son, played excellently, it was clear that you sometimes dodged questions or shifted the blame, and it was fun to watch %)
Everything was fine, I answered, there's no need to shift the blame...

Would I have, for example, executed Lynx instead of Gumer or Mackie? 100% - yes. But there was nothing concrete to tie it to, and therefore I didn't want to even try - it would have been just guessing.
Mestear sometimes gave herself away as Mafia, but we didn't focus on it, and the Townies, it seems, didn't notice, so everything went smoothly.

But I think this will be my last. The effort I put in, especially on the last day, doesn't seem to pay off much, and you'll be remembered as someone who, in any unclear situation, just writes "gg, wp".) There's nothing you can do about it.
You were completely immersed in the game; after that, I would definitely want to take a good break. It's a shame if this really is your last game; maybe someday you'll be able to just chill and play casually.

But I think this will be my last. The effort I put in, especially on the last day, doesn't seem to pay off much, and you end up being remembered as a noob who just types "gg, wp" in any unclear situation.) Nothing can be done about it.
You're playing for your own enjoyment, aren't you?)
Let's play again, maybe we'll end up on the same team, and we can write "gg" together, that would be more fun).
I am slowly enjoying the aftermath of this game, so for now, I am dedicating the post solely to the log. I haven't read the thread beyond it.
Злобный Ящур (Сюзанна) chooses ToX (Джанетт) as their cover (cover fails; Джанетт is a woman)
The Ghost of the Head Guard does not change items, the Ghost of the Head Doctor does not change status.
2. Nэйко (Призрак настоятеля) blocks ToX (Джанетт).
5. Goomer (Клифф) protects ToX (Джанетт).
7. Злобный Ящур (Сюзанна) follows ToX (Джанетт). Result: Morning.
8. Небо (Выживший) checks statuses 1 and 2 of Злобный Ящур (Сюзанна). Female / IQ: Average.
9. Mestear (Призрак главного охранника) kills (physical attack) ToX (Джанетт) with block and isolation ignore. Fail. ToX is under Клифф's protection.
10. ToX (Джанетт) heals Morning (Чарли).
11. Граф Орлов (Зальцман) heals Crestfallen Ariake (Эдди). Special ability to restore protection activated.
12. Morning (Чарли) performs a Night Action swap on Небо (Выживший) and ToX (Джанетт). Result: Небо - Male, ToX has points.
13. Crabby (Призрак девушки) reflects good.
6. Goomer (Клифф) protects Небо (Выживший). Redirection to Злобный Ящур failed; he is isolated.
9. Небо (Выживший) checks statuses 1 and 2 of Граф Орлов (Зальцман). Male / IQ: High.
10. Nэйко (Призрак настоятеля) kills (physical attack) Crestfallen Ariake (Эдди) without leaving evidence. Result: Fail. Эдди's natural protection triggered.
11. Граф Орлов (Зальцман) heals Crestfallen Ariake (Эдди). Redirection to Злобный Ящур failed; he is isolated. Special ability to restore protection activated.
A bunch of blocks, isolations, successful cleansing from Ларс, in short, it's no wonder everyone was confused by then
7. Mestear (Призрак главного охранника) kills (physical attack) Нефела (Ларс) with heal ignore.
GG WP, mafia! I can't say it was the best mafia game, but it was decent enough. Given a town that was fumbling and a maniac who never successfully killed anyone, you didn't get lost and quickly secured your win, well done!

Execute ToX - 8 (Nэйко, Граф Орлов, Fragment, Crabby, Небо, Crestfallen Ariake, Morning, ToX)

Well, now I'll finally go read the thread, catch all the tomatoes with my face, and then write a reply.

ToX has become a legend again; I don't know if he's happy about it. But that day was unpleasant to read, and I understand why the town executed you. Not everything always goes the way you want. You can't carry every game. Sooner or later you'll lose. If all you do is win, it means you're playing against weak opponents. A victory achieved by ignoring the rules doesn't count. I don't quite understand why you created dozens of pages of spam. That only causes irritation. I don't believe people change, of course, but I hope you'll draw at least some conclusions.
Never mundane, always notorious! I'm collecting quotes as I go, writing the post "live," but I have things to say, so it'll all be below.
So, here we are at the part where my ass is going to start exploding. So, ToX and Goomer. The first one threw hysterics, whined, gave ultimatums, and acted like a juvenile idiot who logged into an adult's account between nap time and the potty in kindergarten. In the end, he may not have flipped Town, but he certainly frayed everyone's nerves, especially ours and Master's. Ironically, as Локен threatened in the thread, he can only blame ToX for his death, because if ToX hadn't exposed his role to everyone with his night actions (well, game mechanics), and hadn't pushed things with his hysterics, forcing us to kill Чарли so he wouldn't expose Fragment (who then got executed during the day lol). But overall, as a person, ToX has left an indelible impression.
But we were ready to endure that. However, seeing how Нефела actively defended ToX, as if she absolutely knew he was good (which, one wonders, how?), we assumed she was Клифф and were even a bit happy. Then the inactive Goomer started whining that mean players were executing him for being indifferent to the game (he had just joined anyway) and made a themed adept, which just ruined my mood as a player (and a mafia member should be happy about a good-aligned adept), and also confused us (well, the guys were reasoning based on last game's experience, and I was also insisting that Нефела was Клифф).
Honestly, what I've written is just a small part of the butthurt that Master, Link, and Fragment got to experience. I just don't want to keep pouring out tons of crap, especially since I've practically calmed down now. But on one thing, I will remain true to myself—this was my last game with Goomer and especially ToX as players, even though the latter revived mafia on ХВ. I simply don't want to deal with someone who, as an adult, is not ready to play like a normal person without hysterics, whims, and infantile decisions. It's just unpleasant for me.
It was certainly interesting seeing this from the mafia's perspective. You won, so why complain? It would have been most beneficial for you to have two adepts, actually. X)
You know, Nэйра, I've always liked you, and my opinion of you hasn't really worsened even after your words, but come on, as a seasoned card player, I have to say I don't much like it when people who have won a game start complaining about things afterwards.
When my opponent in MTG breaks the rules at a serious tournament, for example, I don't yell at them; I simply call a judge, explain the situation, they get a warning (not even a game loss; in most cases I'm against my opponent losing immediately for a rules violation), and I continue playing calmly against them, without insulting them either during or after the game. I understand we're on the internet and can take more liberties here, but it's just a game; I think you're overdoing it a bit.
Furthermore, I don't really understand the complaints about "flipping." First, I was as subtle as possible with my message. I'm sure for most players, it sounded like an accusation of a lucky guess when a Town role was leaked during the day. Second, I'm not even sure Morning understood it. Third, you still fucking won, so what grounds do you have for complaints? I just don't get it.
Well, since I haven't seen any other important direct references to me, let's move on to writing my own opinion; that will be in the next post.
If Graf and Rev remained, they would definitely have won against the 3 ghosts, right?
