Sorry, Ar, but I believe Happy's words more than yours...Execute Arandor! May he forgive me if he is a peaceful citizen...

she will execute you, and you still believe her) oh well

Execute Gur - 2 votes (Arandor, Deriel_Linch)
Execute Arandor - 2 votes (Happy Girl, Neyra Drake)

4 votes are needed for an execution.

You don't need to vote twice, your vote will still be counted as one :P

It’s not my fault, the second one left on his own O_O.

Please, everyone, support me in the impeachment of Gur, otherwise I will not take responsibility for our defeat.

It seems to me that Happy Girl isn't just randomly executing Arandor. As for me, I instinctively don't trust him, and my intuition doesn't lie in this matter. Therefore, I say that if the city doesn't want to lose, it will still vote against Arandor. Here, the vote of the Sorceress will be enough, because I certainly won't change my vote, and Happy Girl is unlikely to change her mind either, but still, I would like the others to think about Arandor's "peacefulness."

and the clue was found on Vega, not by some lucky girl or anyone else.

Hmm... well, it seems everyone was waiting for me =))

Vegtam is Mafia – that’s just great! So, among us, only ONE Mafia member remains with a POSITIVE status (if I didn’t make a mistake in the calculations).

I think the town has already won... But still, based on the events of tonight, the murderer needs to be executed – we don’t want to wait for another night! The choice between Gur and Aro is difficult... Both are suspicious, but on the one hand, Aro found evidence against Vegtam. On the other hand, Happy claims that Gur wasn’t up to anything at night, and I have reason to believe her ;) Therefore – execute Arandor. In any case, we’ve already won.

Oh, you don’t appreciate spectacle and beauty.

Execute Gur - 2 votes (Arandor, Deriel_Linch)
Execute Arandor - 4 votes (Happy Girl, Neyra Drake, Ta Kotoraya...)

Execution requires 4 votes

Curtain Call

take your site and wait for the end of this story...

Added after 1 hour 50 minutes
Arandor stood in the courtyard, quietly retreating step by step, concealed by his black robe. A cunning smile flickered beneath the hood.
-So you guessed after all?!- the Warlock said, laughing wickedly, -but it is already too late! Who can stop me?
His right hand sharply pulled a scepter from his robes, and it immediately glowed with a crimson light.
-I am omnipotent! None of you shall be able to defeat me!
-Enough!- Happy Girl shouted and with a swift motion threw two knives at Arandor.
The blades flashed in the rays of the evening sun and a second later embedded themselves in a tree standing next to the Warlock. He only burst out laughing, then waved his scepter and the knives flew back toward Happy Girl. The thief managed to dodge one, but the second whistled through the air and plunged into her thigh.
-You are not the only mage here,- Ta Kotoraya challenged in a steady, warlike voice, stepping forward majestically.
She unsheathed her scepter, and it shone with a soft green light.
-It is time to pay for everything you have done!
Tongues of flame erupted from the tip and rushed toward Arandor. The Warlock expected this; he was infinitely confident in himself, intending to bend them, to make them beg for mercy. The flame swirled into a fireball and hung exactly in the middle between the two mages, then exploded, and burning droplets scattered in all directions. Arandor waved his scepter again, pointing its tip toward the sorceress. Suddenly, she was tossed into the air and then thrown aside.
-Stupid, stupid Grace! Yes, yes, I even know your name, my dear! I know everything about you, even about that magical aura you created around yourself for protection! But alas, it cannot stand against my magic. It will be a pity to kill you; you could have become an excellent Wizard, but alas. Farewell.
The Warlock cast a spell, and fierce lightning bolted from the fingers of his left hand, striking Ta Kotoraya in the next second. The sorceress screamed from the terrible pain that gripped her entire body. The protective charms refused to work; she felt that in a few more moments, it would all be over. But suddenly, the pain unexpectedly vanished. At first, the sorceress thought her charms had finally worked, but the scepter wasn't even glowing anymore. Somewhere behind her, Ta Kotoraya heard footsteps; she looked back and saw Neyra Drake. Her eyes blazed with anger, her right hand tightly gripping the hilt of a long silvered blade.
-And here is the main heroine of the evening,- Arandor continued to gloat, -everyone has been waiting for you! How unsightly to be late! Oh, you are always late! Late then, and almost late now.
-Silence, mage!- the paladin hissed through her teeth, barely containing the rage filling her, -silence! Why did you kill Dernia?! For amusement! You are not human, you are a monster! And retribution will soon find you!
-Such loud words for such a worthless paladin! Who will settle the score with me? You?! I have sown death right under your nose for so long without hindrance, and you didn't even know of my presence! I admit, when I first arrived here, I was a little frightened, but I soon realized that you don't even sense my magical field! You are useless!
-Yes, I was blind, but now I see! I see more clearly than ever before! And I will kill you! Do you hear me?! I'll kill you!!!
-Kill me? What about your code?!
-To hell with the code!- the warrior could not take it anymore and rushed toward Arandor.
The sword clashed against the scepter, sparks flying. The Warlock stepped aside and struck the paladin in the chest with an open palm. There was a loud clap, and she was sent flying back, slamming into the ground.
-Eperius demonium!- the mage pronounced, and a fierce demon suddenly appeared beside him. Its bloodshot eyes looked wickedly at Neyra Drake, and its massive fists clenched for a crushing blow. Just as the paladin rose to her feet, the demon sent her into another short flight, ending in a painful fall.
-Help me, oh Creator,- Neyra whispered, gripping the sword with both hands.
Arandor burst out laughing again.
-Better pray for mercy from me than from your foolish deity! Perhaps I shall pity you due to your insignificance! Ha-ha-ha!
Suddenly, a blue radiance enveloped the blade. With every second it grew larger and larger; when it touched the demon, it roared in pain and leaped at Neyra. She sprang up quickly, stepped sharply to the side, and with full force severed the monster's head. The Warlock directed a bolt of lightning at the warrior, but her sword confidently absorbed the magic, shining even brighter as a result. Gripping the blade with her right hand, Neyra began to describe circles in the air, creating a vortex of charms. The smile disappeared from Arandor's face, replaced by agitation. He tried to summon another demon, but a wave of blue light struck him sharply in the chest, and now he was the one who fell to the ground.
-I absolve you of all your sins, mage, may your soul rest in peace,- Neyra said in a steady voice, continuing to trace circles with her sword.
-To hell with your mercy!- Arandor screamed and tried once more to cast a chain lightning.
But the tips of his fingers only sparkled slightly.
-Farewell,- the paladin whispered and drove the blade straight into the Warlock's heart.
A stifled scream, a flash of scarlet light, and silence...
Neyra knelt on one knee before Arandor, leaning on her sword with both hands.
-You were right, mage, I am worthless,- she said sadly, -I could not protect the most precious thing the Creator gave me! I could not save my love! Why live now?! Why??!!- the paladin cried out.
She pulled the sword from the Warlock's body and plunged it into her own chest.


game results will be available shortly...

Beautiful. :)

It might be beautiful, but Ara was executed during the day! And it's described as if he lived until night. :confused:

It was a good game. I enjoyed it. :smile02:

Day 1. We were discussing who to kill. Dariel and Amka were suggested. We chose Dariel; I didn't want to kill Amka again so early in the game. I had done that recently. Day 2. Plesen was suggested, but we decided to kill Neyra because she too harshly called Khos a mercenary, and only a Paladin could have done that (and there was another reason, but I don't remember what it was). We started to suspect her, held a vote, and the majority chose her. But here, we were killing the role, not the person. We needed to look for the roles, regardless of who possessed them. So, don't be offended, Neyra. Day 3. We decided to finish off Plesen, as he was a candidate from the previous day. After the execution of Rega, we realized that the Sorceress was either TaKo or Neyra in disguise (we looked at the voting results, and a couple of days later, I started hinting that I knew who the Sorceress was, slightly incriminating myself (because I was still considering them as Mafia, and the townspeople don't know who the Mafia are. But it seems no one noticed, and it worked out)). Day 4. We remembered that Azi assigns avatars that match his roles. We decided that he was either a Thief or a Ranger. Stupid Azi. We began to suspect that Neyra was the Paladin, because not everyone would check 100% innocent Dariel. Day 5. We decided to kill Happy because she was too successfully pointing fingers at Azi. Plesen suggested that Neyra was the Paladin, and Amko was the Ranger. We agreed with this, as well as with the idea that TaKo was the Sorceress. Day 6. We couldn't execute Maurinho the previous day, so we decided to skip our turn to avoid any evidence pointing to us and to finish yesterday's business. We sent Plesen on a mission, just in case. We decided to start killing people instead of roles, because we knew we were going to lose. We started to suspect Happy of being the Thief. Day 7. We killed Slonysh, even though we knew her role wasn't dangerous. The reason was her high activity. We should have killed her earlier, but we were chasing after roles, so we didn't do it. Day 8. We wanted to kill Happy (many reasons had accumulated), but I decided to go after Amka instead, so that they wouldn't have a good ending with Neyra (even though I was sure that Happy would plant evidence against me. I didn't care anymore, and I would be executed anyway, because there were four obvious townspeople (Happy, Dariel, TaKo, and Neyra)). And we needed to teach him a lesson, because he had interfered with the killings twice. I also thought about going after TaKo, because I was ignoring her defense, but I didn't want to. There was no point in going after Neyra, as Kotey was protecting her. PS: We should have killed Happy; then we would have executed Gur, and the next night, I would have had time to kill Amka as well. But oh well, maybe there will be a chance in the future. Overall, we lost because of: - Khos's quick death. - Easy-to-find clues (even a novice found them). - Unsuccessful kills at the beginning. Although we took even that with a smile; I even came up with a humorous reason: We kill tavern employees because we don't like the service. Towards the end, I started playing for fun. I got into the role and voted against my own team, threw Vega, framed people, and manipulated them. I had as much fun as I could. And honestly, I'm tired of being Mafia. In the last four games, I've been the Mafia boss three times. In two out of three cases, I chose the number 12, and even before that, I noticed that the Mafia was often hidden behind it, especially the main Mafia. So, next time, just kill the person who chooses the number 12. Added 50 seconds later.

And it's all described as if he survived until night.

It was done for aesthetic reasons, because it's depressing to end with a simple execution.

I think Slonenok deserves a medal...
IMHO: the best player in this Mafia game.
And in general, the city was carried on the shoulders of women...

The Mafia players did well, they held out... or rather, he held out well (Ar), because he practically single-handedly took down the city. The other Mafia players: Mag, Veg, Reg - didn't really contribute much. Plesen put up a bit more of a fight.

And also, the Thief role is OP for the city ;)
