Posts from Mafia 92. Void Lord. Auto-translated

Thanks to everyone for the game. It’s a shame that there wasn’t a proper town at the critical moment to discuss things properly. As I understood from the double protection of Nefela and the reactions of the others… Nefela was suspected of being Mafia, but she was still considered more likely to be innocent by everyone. And France didn’t really fit, so of course, I should have taken the risk and voted her out based on the hint, but I hesitated. I went down the wrong path. I saw Nefela’s avatar, but I didn’t think it would be that simple; I was looking for something more complex and didn’t find it.
In the endgame, a town player can’t be so passive. In essence, only one lord, Snow, was talking to me. Flower and Mortulus (especially Flower) shouldn’t be so passive when asked to engage in dialogue. If Mortulus at least said something, you had nothing at all… And the fact that you were sending some kind of ND, it was hard to figure out. Overall, I enjoyed the game, and I’m glad I was able to solve two hints.

Thank you for the game. The Mafia played well, eliminating all the active players. In the end, only passive players and two green players remained, who didn't know the behavior of half the living players in the game. Towards the end of the day, I started to doubt about Nefela (the first clue was still, IMHO, too vague. The Manticore has the body of a lion, and the girl in Nefela's avatar looked more like some kind of succubus.), especially her answer about inactivity in solving the clues. But the super-passive behavior of the Silent Flower tipped the scales. If you had reacted more actively, perhaps we could have voted for the Knight.
The set was very interesting and quite unusual in practice. Attack blocks almost didn't block, and the status reliably exposed the bad guys after the death of several players. But the suicide of the archer against the mana was excessive; the balance changed very sharply and due to randomness. And the Master was deprived of victory.

Mafov, congratulations on the victory! Thanks to Nebku and his teammate for the game. The rest of you did great, and I had a lot of fun.

And I won't thank anyone but Nebk, because the game is awesome. We had a clever plan where the first person to book me for a night after the game pays me and Nebk with a turnip for my work. (

I thought the same thing when I googled the full-res image, but I didn't think to read the description.

Had you reacted more actively, they might have hanged a Knight, I suppose)

I believe that the casino image I posted that day perfectly reflects the essence of executions based on psychology in the mafias on HeroesWorld.

If there was also a half-liter of tea depicted there, then it would be displayed.

I disagree about the casino; you were very passive. I figured out the Nephilim based on the hint, but it turned out that I was essentially on my own, not knowing the players or their game. We should have engaged in dialogue; if everyone had written down their approximate plan, it would have been easier. Only you know that you're a peaceful player. Fine, the newspapers exposed me. It would have been better if the Knight had blocked someone, which would have narrowed down the list of suspects, but the Knight didn't care about blocking, and the peaceful players talked and remained silent, which led to the outcome it did.

It was a fun game, indeed. I got a really cool role, although I would rate my performance in this setting as a solid two with a plus. The only plus is that I accidentally drew the Master's attention. As for killing Koshi... I won't make excuses and say that the ghosts would have killed her anyway. The only reason I "shot" randomly was that I had a certain PREMONITION that I wouldn't survive the night. If the role had protection not only from physical but also from mental attacks, I probably wouldn't have killed her. But the fact that a maniac would come after me was too unexpected to foresee. Thank you all for the game.

I believe that the casino image I posted that day perfectly captures the essence of psychology-based executions in Mafia on HW.

Actually, I've never been against (and won't be against) psychology-based executions on HW. When too much focus is placed on evidence, things usually get worse. It's a very complex part; you need to find a clue that isn't too simple and isn't too difficult, and you need to find something at all. And where is the line? It's unclear.
However, activity-based executions are not the same as psychology-based executions. The former, gentlemen, is still heresy. ;)
And, by the way, it's not because it's something personal. Seriously, I was executed based on a tip from Shaman (it would have been stupid not to execute me), and Artz was executed based on evidence. And none of us would have been executed if it weren't for these factors... But Revan left based on activity, haha.
Overall, it was a great game, thank you to the GM, and thank you to all the players, especially my ghost team, you were magnificent! Nefela, Vish, Arandor, keep it up!

Mafia wins!
But in the end, they still get the short end of the stick. Alas and alack! Such is the will of the great GM!

The ghosts may get the short end of the stick, but what's the point? They can't be killed, and they'll be back... Especially since the seed of terror has firmly taken root in the minds of their barely surviving enemies...

I liked the newspapers from Haven. Haven did a good job.

The newspapers are cool. I liked the plot. I hope there will be a sequel.

I won't thank anyone but Nebk, because the game is awesome. We had a clever plan where the first person to book me for the night after the game would pay me and Nebk with turnips for my work.

And I hoped that you, Gorstrelok, would cover me, so I didn't rush to summon myself. But it turned out like this. I didn't consider that Man could also cover, otherwise I would have intercepted him. Just out of principle.

I liked the "Newspapers from the Sky." The Sky did a good job.

Ghosts might take a beating, but what's the point? They can't be killed, and they'll come back... Especially since the seed of terror has firmly taken root in the minds of their barely surviving enemies...

No, Ment, according to the lore, few humans are capable of using this type of "magic" at such a level.

But the sharpshooter's suicide over mana was unnecessary; the balance changed very abruptly and due to randomness. And the Master was completely deprived of victory.

Perhaps. But I also tweaked it a bit before the game. Giving the maniac the opportunity to test it without the risk of being killed. But the Master decided to carry out his crazy plan, as he himself wrote. Which turned out to be crazy after all. So I think he had a good chance, at least, to survive for a long time if he had acted more carefully.

I hope there will be a sequel.

It is planned, but I don't know if it will be implemented.

Unfortunately, I can't assess the quality of the game because the role wasn't implemented, but if people say it's good, then it must be, it's not for me to judge. Special thanks to the "ment" for the ninety-first, so I've been playing the whole of 2015, but somehow it's not working out, well, what can you do, I just had a bad day.

No, the activity level was different, but the behavior was still there. Peaceful players shouldn't be playing like that. Just sending messages and voting doesn't necessarily indicate peaceful gameplay. The city still needs to demonstrate its peaceful nature through its actions in the game; otherwise, it's just a facade.
