Posts from Mafia 72. "Little Green Man" Bar

Nebo reached for his Wolfstet pistol again to finish off Alexeagle, but she slapped his hand away and opened fire herself. Alexeagle tried to dodge and escape. At first, he was successful, but then he tripped over tubes of paint skillfully thrown by Neira Drake under his feet. Wolfstet ran up and fired at the dangerous creature until it stopped moving. Each of those present made sure that Alexeagle was dead, and then they burned his body just in case.
Nebo ordered Guru to pour everyone a glass of the best earthly cognac from pre-space age times, which he immediately did. All evening, Nebo and Wolfstet emptied their supply of alcohol, Neira Drake painted an epic victorious canvas right on the wall, and Guru had to lubricate himself several times and go into sleep mode so as not to overheat.
When, towards morning, the staggering Wolfstet left the bar to report to her superiors about the success of the operation, Nebo winked conspiratorially at her and said that she would always be welcome here, but she shouldn't bring any friends. She smiled warmly and walked away into the dawn.

Everyone realized that Alexeagle was dead, and then his body was burned just in case.

As I said, next time, we should surrender while we still have the chance!
Guys, I enjoyed it, it was great, almost a perfect game. I want to highlight Tory among the players; he did a great job, blocking effectively. And overall, everyone played well.

Well, that's pretty much how it went ;)

To be objective and without making excuses, the Mafia were nerfed, the Town was buffed, and the Maniac was lucky; and as it turned out, no one read the setting until the third day, so everything was fine.
Well, I messed up due to stupidity and inexperience; I should have just ignored the daytime discussions, but instead, I jumped into the topic and was punished for it.
So, I should say a few words about our mistakes in general: First, the decision to use the ultimate ability on Yashur. I don't think that was a good option at the beginning of the game. But the main mistake wasn't that. We were both harassing and killing Alex, but it was all in vain. And then, Arandor and I decided that he was most likely the Hostess. And we started creating a table based on that. That's why everything went wrong. Basically, we just got unlucky.
Therefore, in general, I was wrong to accuse Ment - for which I publicly apologize - because according to the table, he had no roles left. And, honestly, it seemed that way in the game as well. I really didn't want the Maniac to win. At night, we realized what was going on, but it was too late.
What else can I say... There's not much more to say. It wasn't so much that the Mafia were nerfed, but we just got unlucky. Everything that shouldn't have happened, happened. And the whole game was lost.

Now, I want to thank everyone who participated in this game. I wrote the last messages with excessive emotions, and I regret that.
I once again apologize to Ment for the false suspicions.
And of course, I also thank my teammates. It was very interesting to play with you, and to communicate too!
And, of course, a huge thank you to the GM for the interesting setting and the time spent.

Yes, the Mages turned out to be too weak. I should have listened at the beginning of the game and adjusted the balance a bit, but compared to my two previous sets, where the Mages, mind you, won without any losses, I panicked a little and made the Mages too weak. It wasn't very fair of me, but the Mages still did well and played admirably.
And in general, everyone did well. Thank you all.

decided to use ultimate on Yashur

I initially thought it was the work of a maniac Mentat.:D I didn't think the Mafia would use their ultimate on me (as if anyone would visit me other than assassins and blockers), especially at the beginning of the game.

Added 3 minutes later

slightly adjust the balance

But I think it's fine. Perhaps the Mafia's block should be done without displaying it (or with only displaying the fact that it happened).

The game was very interesting, perhaps the best in the last two decades! It only lacked toxicity, seriously! Heated daytime discussions, adrenaline-fueled five-minute periods before the execution, cunning and powerful plans from Arandor, brilliant nighttime moves... oh, there were so many things in this Mafia game!

Thank you to the GM for the game, we look forward to the continuation!

P.S. I didn't read the rules, sorry.

The game was very interesting, perhaps the best in the last two decades!

And that's why you were so eager to get your hands on it?:D

As I said, next time you should surrender while you still have the chance!

Well, I wouldn't say that. It's better to quit than to wash dishes for the rest of your life.

It turned out to be a great game; I really enjoyed it, and it was a lot of fun.

Well, basically, that's how it happened ;)

I messed up due to my stupidity and inexperience; I should have just ignored the daytime discussions, but instead, I jumped into the topic and got punished for it.

I wrote the last messages while overly emotional, and I apologize for that.
I also want to apologize to Ment specifically for the false suspicions.

What??? It seems like the world has turned upside down... If you had written throughout the game as you did in your last post, no one would have had anything to complain about.

Arvndora was clearly forced to carry the team alone. It's really frustrating when teammates don't contribute, and he's constantly being asked to vote for them just because they're mafia.

Damn, damn, damn, my cunning plan failed. I really wanted them to use their ultimate on Nebu. In the end, I didn't guess the victim, nor did I guess the leader.

What??? It seems like the world has turned upside down... If you had written the entire game as well as you wrote your last post, no one would have had anything to complain about.

Arvndora was clearly forced to carry the team alone. It's actually disappointing when teammates don't contribute anything, and he's constantly being asked to raise his rating just because he's Mafia.

No, you don't understand. I'm talking about something else. I gave myself away when I immediately voted for you after Nebula. And I apologize for my recent posts; this kind of communication is too abrupt and emotional for me, and I don't like it. I understand that it's quite subtle in that regard, but not for me.

Learn to fake emotions; it’s like playing Mafia.

The game turned out to be very enjoyable, unlike the previous one. And the role was noticeably better =-)
It seems that copy-pasters ruin the entire game in terms of its mathematical balance. The only way to defeat them is with hypotheses for each role, and I'm already thinking about a mathematical model to simplify this process. Beware, maniacs, I'm coming for you! =-)

Beware, maniacs, I'm coming for you! =-)

I'm already thinking about the match model.

Yeah. The match model suggests that the maniacs are hiding under number 7 for Koshi, and number 9 for Ment... :D :D :D
