Posts from Mafia 84. Memorized it, turned it in, forgot it!

It should also be noted that players were given freedom of action (they could post in the thread at night, and those who were eliminated or not playing could post in the thread if they wanted). Everything went smoothly.

To be honest, at the beginning, I really didn't feel like playing. However, I felt bad that on the very first day, the town executed one of the mafia members, so I had to somehow defend myself. I guess you could say I got lucky. Then, my magnificent teammate (thank you for the game!) mixed up our night actions, and as a result, the Cop died (thank you for the game!). It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, since he had perhaps the most useful town role; in any case, we would probably have killed him on the second night instead of Alex (thank you for the game!), but that's not the point. The bad news for us was that the Military Man (thank you for the game, Olam!) revealed my role, and now our task was to find and eliminate him at all costs during the day. And again, we got lucky – Olam was executed. Then, Larisa revealed her role, and everything was already heading towards victory, BUT my teammate had to drop out of the game and received a modkill. I calculated all the options and came to the conclusion that constantly blocking Larisa (thank you for the game!) and depriving her of her vote would lead to a draw, but our respected GM also figured this out (Master, thank you for the setup!), so he decided that everything would be decided by the daytime vote. My only hope was Gekasan (thank you for the game!), who was perhaps the only remaining N2 candidate for execution. The previous night, I was already choosing between him and 0xff (thank you for the game!), and here, simple luck helped me: Larisa was trying too hard to tell us that the Ghost was 100% mafia, and 0xff was 100% town, which made me think that she had checked him on the first night. Thus, Gekasan made it to the final. The last day turned out to be really tense. At one point, I had already lost all hope of winning. But nevertheless, I managed to convince Rawlith (thank you for the game!) and achieve victory. In general, I think I thanked everyone, thank you all, it was great!

Heroist, thanks for the game and the info.
Master, now I understand why you were chuckling when, on the first day, I wrote on VKontakte about Heroist having an important role %)
I just thought he was a nerd or a class representative that evening.

Olam Havel and 0xFF were involved, but the first didn't respond at all, and the second left only one line. Either they are indifferent and peaceful, or they are quiet Mafia players who don't rush ahead, or they are simply clueless. Overall, they are quite enigmatic. Why sign up if you don't want to play? Perhaps they don't want to stand out, but rather just observe.
Heroist and forgotten ghost show indirect interest in the game, fearing to influence anything specifically. Both admitted that it's a difficult puzzle, but the first at least tried, while the second makes jokes. I suspect both of them.

What's wrong with Hexan? And what about forgotten ghost? I think that one of them might be a Mafia player, paired with Heroist or Nebkom.

What a great game! The outcome was completely uncertain until the very end. I haven't experienced such intense competition in any game I've participated in. Thank you all for the game! Heroist, congratulations on the victory! It turns out you're really good when you try! Before this, I mostly saw you as inactive, but here you really shone. Master, thank you for the setting and for running the game! For a first time, it was very well done. The clues were certainly challenging (for example, the transition "Lord of the Rings -> giant eagles" is not for the faint of heart... and the last clue is a masterpiece, but it's interesting and unconventional!). There were some minor flaws, but they weren't significant, and I hope this will be a valuable experience for the future. I hope you'll run many more games on Hv! I wish all students good luck with their exams and thesis defenses! And to everyone else, all the best!

How, from where? Who told you that?

I have some professional secrets.

Regarding Heroist and our GM, I want to say that they really put in the effort. Siever is praising both of them in the chat!

By the way, Larisa, a special and warm thank you for your active participation – it was great to chat with you!

The main thing is that the Mafia didn't die out on the forum, as some had already begun to predict. It's just a shame that we won't be able to run a Mafia game with a full setting for around 18 people.

By the way, did anyone accidentally offend anyone with the newspaper stories?

Rawlith, I hope you participate in the next games!

Yes, Rawlith, we did have a bit of a disagreement at the beginning of the game (if you can call it that), but overall you're a great player, although, as you can see, your psychology isn't helping you in the forum mafia, haha.

Heroist, I don't perceive this as arguments, it's just a game moment)).
Once again, congratulations on the well-deserved victory!
Best to all.

Yeah, I'll add something too:)
A huge thank you to everyone for the game. This was my first experience with forum-based Mafia, it was very interesting and addictive)
The puzzles were challenging but interesting. The last one was particularly tough))
Thanks to everyone and good luck in the session/diplomas) I hope we can play again:)

A constant block with Larisa being silenced (thanks for the game!) would have led to a draw.

How is that possible??? You could have blocked once, then eliminated someone (there's no evidence), and then eliminated Larisa, resulting in a victory.

P.S. Minus to the GM for changing the rules during the game.

Well, look. There are four of us left ---> three votes are needed for an execution. There are three votes from the townspeople, but I deprive one of them of their vote ---> only two active votes remain. Either it's a tie, or a townsperson is executed with my help).

Either a draw or the peaceful player gets executed with my help.

Well, the peaceful player was hanged anyway. With your help.:D
However, in such situations, it shouldn't have been possible to hang the Mafia player, but this is something that should have been considered a long time ago (because similar situations have happened before, although the Master is probably not aware of it), rather than changing the rules during the game. For example, consider the majority based on the number of votes, not the number of players.:smile32:

P.S. In game 61, there was a stalemate with a 4-1-1 setup (town-mafia-maniac), and the game only ended thanks to the execution of the peaceful player.:D
P.P.S. Or take games 67 or 75. In those, two players immediately met the criteria for executing a peaceful player.:D
