Well, here it is, victory...
I put a lot of effort into it. But I have to admit that without a chain of circumstances, we wouldn't have pulled it off, especially after the devastating first night.
So, my story will be called this.
The Memoirs of Sauron about the Conquest of Middle-earth
or
Jack's Mafia - Anything is Possible!
I will simply tell you about the links in the chain of victory, and I learned about some of them just now, only from the log. I think you will judge them yourselves.
We guess with the Nera block, saving, as it turns out, my life.
Ruddy dies against the Winner, as a result, the city loses a check, which also turned out to be a strong player.
We expose Vishik, albeit at the cost of losing two.
During the day, Amko solves the clue (as we thought then, correctly) on Barlog. It is not profitable for us to execute him, we think about what to do... And then, like thunder from a clear sky, Hostor appears with a Berber on Plesen! I, of course, "start a fan club" and join the calls to execute him. As a result, we execute Theoden, who takes Hostor-Aragorn with him to the grave! Brilliant. :D
At night, we kill Imarisk... Well, in principle, not a bad move. That's exactly how, separately. After all, he was an asset and could harm us during the day. In addition, Barlog takes two city players with his ultimate, Imaris takes him, and Rainer gets a modkill. It was already clear to us then that if we neutralized Frodo, our chances of winning would increase many times over.
And then, for the second time, thunder from a clear sky! The Cop with his "Tox - Gollum" gun. It would be foolish not to take advantage of the opportunity and not "expose" him in return. In fact, this prolonged my life for so long. I don't understand why Kosha didn't redirect me when I started exposing myself as a Mafia. If she had done that, the city would have won. But nevertheless, thank her for this miscalculation. In addition, we successfully considered her Faramir until the very last night, so she played very well in terms of disguise.
But the main advantage of the "exposure" of my role by the Cop was that he himself was shamelessly exposing Frodo. We clarified with Jack: Frodo knows his position in relation to the Mountain. Cop, tell me, were we right when we thought that you considered me Gollum because, on one of the nights, I didn't move forward and thought that you would redirect me with the highest probability from the remaining players alive on the second day?
On the second day, I initiated the execution of Nera, and our team got rid of the threat in the person of Pauchiha.
Accordingly, on the third night, I take the ring from Frodo, and then the game was practically over. Of course, it didn't quite come out beautifully that, according to the description, not everyone understood that this was actually a protection, not a heal. This also helped us.
Although it made me a little nervous on the third day when Ryś and Hermit suddenly became active. I was almost exposed, and Arka even more so. But, it seems, I managed to keep the aggro away from both of us (well, at least I was still considered Gollum). Although the beginning of the day turned out to be very successful again. I dug for a long time with Berbers, found a more or less decent one on Gur, threw it, initiated an execution, and as a result, Gur was brought to a modkill. I would also like to execute someone from the villagers, and ideally - Gollum, but then we simply didn't have enough votes. As a result, we shouted at each other and went our separate ways. It was at the end of the third day that we learned about all the remaining roles. We just confused Lynx and Kosha. That's why we went to kill Ryś at night, and even with an ultimate, so that her block-protection would not save Faramir. However, Lynx herself turned out to be Faramir. And then the game was over. We had three votes against two city-maniacal votes. During the day, we got rid of Gollum, and then - victory.
Yes, another link was that no one thought that the Mafia could use all the NDs that it has in one night, with the only limitation that there is one murder. To be honest, I was a little shocked by this myself, but Jack, it seems, pointed this out.
Thank you, Arandor. It's still great to play Mafia with him. He was an active player, gave reasoning, offered options, criticized notes. During the day, of course, he exposed himself, but in general, he managed to do it so that no one paid attention to this until the third day (although Lynx also attacked on the second, but everyone didn't care).
Thank you, Winner. He appeared rarely, but accurately. It's a pity that he was killed on the first night, he would have been very useful.
Disrespect to Lord and Gumer for ignoring the game. However, they were quite symbolically killed on the first night.
Thank you to the city and the maniacs. It was interesting and quite difficult to play against you, despite all your moves and miscalculations, which led us to victory.
Thank you, Jack, for a successfully played game, albeit not without flaws. In general, the balance was maintained, the newspapers were interesting, the modkills were correct. So, Jack is well done.
Mordor, congratulations on the victory! Ave!
