Posts from Mafia 83. Doctor Who: Aliens in London

Through the half-empty building of the "London Gazette" editorial office walked Ment. Following him like a shadow was Evil Lizard, limping on both legs. Ment wasn't interested in the age or health condition of his next puppet; the old man was only needed for one purpose.
Hearing footsteps around the corner, Ment stopped and ordered Evil Lizard to attack whatever was hiding there, but before he could take a step, Aniruddha appeared from behind the corner. After his master disappeared into the depths of space, the robot became completely uncontrollable and very aggressive. The furry monster wanted to attack the Gallifreyan, but he used the old scientist as a living shield. Evil Lizard, obeying the order, rushed at the yeti with some kind of metal object in his hand. After a short but fierce battle, two bodies lay at Ment's feet - the professor had accomplished his task, but age and recent injuries took their toll. The Master indifferently stepped over the bodies and continued on his way to the editor-in-chief's office...

Wolfstet crumpled the newspaper in annoyance and threw it in the trash can. Now the Master has outmaneuvered her; Earth is in the hands of this psychopath. One day she will return and liberate enslaved humanity. But for now, she needs to be alone. The self-proclaimed defender of Earth lost, and the price of defeat was too high – the lives of her loyal friends and allies. And even if MyHighness was too proud of her phenomenal intellect, and Arandor made many foolish decisions without considering the consequences, Wolfstet doubted that she would ever be able to accept this loss. She opened the door to her TARDIS, but before taking off, she glanced at the empty street... which turned out not to be so empty.
Wolfstet almost ran towards the strange silhouette, which turned out to be Arandor. He could barely walk, leaning against the wall and stopping constantly, while still managing to drag the battered body of MyHighness with him. Without saying a word, Wolfstet rushed to her friends, whom she thought were gone forever, and helped them board the ship.
- She's alive, - said Arandor hastily, - metal... the cyberman didn't finish her off, I know you can help her, you can do something...
- Of course, my friend, - replied Wolfstet, carefully placing MyHighness on the couch and heading to the control panel, - you both need to recover your health.
- I'll be fine, - waved off the Scotsman. - That mechanical creature, the Dalek, was just a little... tired, probably when it tried to hit me. I'm more worried about our companion.
- The girl will cope. But I insist that you go to bed right now.
The miraculously surviving bagpiper sighed heavily and headed to his room, while the Time Lord began plotting a course. One day they will return here, drive away the Master, and restore justice. But that will be a completely different story...

I apologize for any possible inconsistencies in the log; by the end of the game, I was just as tired and lazy as you were. Let me explain about the second night. Rimp used his ultimate ability on Arandor, randomly knocking out Saret who came to him. The time travelers used their ultimate ability, and Ara learned that they and Saret would die at the same time, but due to his special ability, Ara removes the protection from Rimp. The question arises: will Ara be able to protect Saret? I answer that no, he could have, if Saret had been killed before Ara. Ara asks if he can also attack Rimp for killing Saret. I say that I don't know. Ara changes his plan and goes to protect Saret, declaring with the most brazen expression that there should be a controversial situation. I get upset, roll a die to determine whether I should credit the kill from Ara's guards, and it tells me to credit it. Ara didn't protect Saret, but he attacked Rimp for himself and for him, and in the end, everyone died so that no one would be offended.

Hmm, I thought you'd come up with a different scenario for Zoe and the Scotsman's survival... Like, the Doctor could travel back in time to when they were still alive and take them! Oh well. The ending turned out to be epic, I like it.

Do you want Isabel Watkins?

As I said, the questions from our journalist were burning issues, and I want to thank him separately for that.

Redirecting Zubr -> Ment, killing Wolfstet

The option "
Redirecting Revan -> Zubr, killing Zubr" was, of course, not even considered...:smile08:

I'm getting frustrated, so I'm rolling a die to determine whether I should be credited with the kill from Arya's guards.

who killed the cute girl in a skirt from Arandor on the second night (three assassins initially came for him, then it turned out there were only two) hehe, that's what happens.

Yeah, the die.

I didn't try to rig anything, but the dice roll made me happy, haha. No offense intended, of course, it's just that a cute girl in a skirt is almost as cute as Luke :3

I didn't rig it. Because I didn't roll the dice :)

Kosh, it's simple. My Necropolis is aimed at Arandor. So I kill Arandor, and only then Sareth.

I threw everything.

That's true, but all the kills happen simultaneously, and the "arriving" unit simply becomes the third target.

Is your level of hairiness lower than that of Professor Edward Travers?

It's interesting what answer would be considered true if this question were addressed to the professor himself.

Option: "Redirecting Revan -> Zubr, killing Zubr" was, of course, not even considered...

Of course not, the city had too many votes. Although, as I later found out, it didn't, but it's better to overestimate the opponent.

It's interesting what answer would be considered the correct one if this question were addressed to the professor himself.

The professor doesn't fit into this category, as his degree is not lower, but equal. However, when asking this question, I was 100% sure that Aresat is not a professor.

Of course not, the city had too many votes. Although, as I later found out, it didn't, but it's better to overestimate the opponent.

It's definitely better to kill someone else than to kill someone unknown. Having 3 players on your team and hoping that the killer won't target one of your own... Well, I don't know, I would play it safe. If they killed one of the 3, that's fine. It couldn't be worse.

And the leader seems to have lost his weapon. :smile51:

Mental with the victory.
