Posts from Mafia 104. Alrion

So, if healing was required, it means it was a successful kill.

Sam Gore - You're either a mobster or an idiot. I'm on the verge of a modkill and I've told everyone who I really am. What other questions could there be?

Exactly. I don't like these kinds of hints. They look suspicious. A decent citizen wouldn't act like that.

Sam Gore - You're either a mafia member or an idiot.

He's drunk, my lady. Don't pay attention to him. :D

A decent citizen's task is to provide information to other decent citizens about other decent citizens. I honestly said that Tyru and Lady Aravella can be trusted in trade deals. For business, it's beneficial to know who is who.

He's drunk, my lady. Don't pay attention.:D

I'm afraid he won't sober up even when I'm deprived of both my business and my life...

The Swedish King Charles XII died under mysterious circumstances during the Great Northern War - The Swedish power metal band Sabaton released an album in 2012 titled "Carolus Rex," dedicated to the king's military campaigns from 1700-1721 - this album includes the song "The Lion from the North" - Sir Erseyd's personal banner depicts a golden lion.

So, the deceased commander is not a reference to the White Night's mask, but rather a clue? And is "Lamentation" just a formality? To claim something like that now is, at best, simply foolish.

"Golden Eggs" is a Spanish film by Bigas Luna - Bigas Luna was a member of the Venice Film Festival jury - the main prize of this festival is the "Golden Lion" - the golden lion is depicted on Sir Erseyd's personal banner.

Berber. The connections between film and director, as well as festival and award, always have a reciprocal relationship, which is very convenient for the Mafia. That's fine, maybe the GM also doesn't like to overthink things. But this pseudo-solution is even done without effort - you can go from Bigas Luna to the Venice Film Festival, but how do you go back? There's no connection. Perhaps it goes through some obscure links, but you can understand...

I would like to hear from Sir Erseyd if he has an alibi for the time of the murders committed by the maniac.

I don't need an alibi. But you, Tizetrium, should ask him. It has become unsafe in Alrion - what is keeping you here? Can't you gather a squad? Or do you not have enough time for that? Because during the day, as I understand it, you are trying to slander the captain of the guard. Do you look for recruits at night? In that case, you won't recruit decent people.

I'm (still) sober! And if you're all so smart, what was the maniac doing tonight? Was he munching on grass?

He fell for a natural defense, for example. He skipped his turn. Or he might even be dead. Is the latter actually possible?

Or he could also have killed Ardas. I think that would have been described differently, though.

By the way, does block protect the blocked unit from being killed?

He might have been targeting someone with natural protection, for example.

You're talking as if everyone has protection here. The Mafia has a kill protection, the Town has only one, and that's on a role without night defense, which Ardas is claiming.

Or he could have killed Ardas.

The Serial Killer kills before the Mafia.

Why do you think that Ardas was necessarily killed by the mafia, and not by a serial killer?

What if the maniac visited you today, Your Majesty?

Many have already agreed that the description doesn't resemble that of a maniac, as there are no details, only the fact of the murder itself.

Moreover, you yourself say that Ardas has natural defenses. And that's exactly what happened: first, a maniac tried to kill him. Unsuccessfully. This wasn't documented. Then, the mafia tried, bypassing his natural defenses. Everything fell into place.

What if the maniac visited you today, Your Majesty?

If the defense in this case shouldn't be described any differently, then we won't find out about it.

Or rather, not quite:

let's say Ardas is city number 9. It has protection against one attack. So, the maniac who kills first failed to take Ardas's life. Then the Mafia came and finished it off. This explains the phrase "paid the price for his inaction." It implies that he didn't take any action after the first attack. A literary description hinting at the fact of a double attack.
