[LoM] Aftermath

[Ashe]

Now we enter the third night, where all the fun began. The first person to die had been a Mafia! No one expected this, not after so much inaction the first few nights. People smelled blood and it wasn't just Warwick.

Rose immediately sent me a PM informing me: "Gittan hongray ... I think Imon ... EAT KAMI"
I replied with: "When you send me an action, just to make sure I don't do the wrong thing, try to send me your ability. The title made me think this was a mafia kill target before I realized the character."

Mal Nova starts getting suspicious or paranoid and tells me to use Destiny on "Johnathan Meer".

---

Jarka mentions to me that my original vote total at the end of the day was messed up and "Silly goose, I should have had zero votes at the end (unless two people voted for me). All my posts were in white."

My response was "Its true, I forgot when posting, was half asleep and mainly just cared about the Josh post."

---

Piper contacts me with "They probably won't hit him since they'll imagine he'll be protected anyway, but...

I'm still gonna protect Kaden with my Shen powers"

Now we enter a series of PMs between the mafia regarding the death (or impending, as this began during the day apparently) of their colleague, Josh.

Kami begins with addressing the crowd with the following... "Well this sucks. Sorry Josh.

Murder Doe tonight? He's gathering quite the little following. Kaden needs to die as well."

Josh responds "Meer has his ability to make someone do his bidding, if you could get it to work on Kaden then you'd have someone with bloodscent and then you could use it on yourselves to make it seem like your townspeople." preparing for his eventual but not yet occuring death. After all, a good member of the mafia always gets his arrangements taken care of before making that final trip.

Jonathan Meer chimes in with "If I use my ability, he loses his.

It should be pointed out that he will know I'm Mafia, though he will not be able to lynch-vote for me. There's nothing keeping him, however, from just declaring that I made him a Ghost.

I don't have a problem with using this now. But what are the thoughts of the rest of you? Use it on Kaden, or save it?

One plus side of this is that Kaden will be the definite target of Soraka heals for quite some time."

At this moment in time, everyone still believed that Soraka was healing all kill targets and was what was interfering with the Mafia; after all, the reason behind no one dying night one was only speculation. The mafia decided that Soraka was a real thorn in their side and wanted to find her, not knowing the truth, though it mattered not.

Whompt contributed to the conversation with: "I don't think Kaden will dime you out because your ability makes him Mafia. He'll want to win. And if he does he'll die too, because of the Ghost stuff.

Go ahead and get Kaden on our side. We should whack Doe. With him out, a lot of the talking will be done."

Thus it was decided, prompting Meer to forward all of these to me with the final context: "We're all pretty much of one mind here: kill Doe.

Also, I'm going to be using my ability on Kaden. Just to confirm, this makes him Mafia, correct? Does this give him the ability to participate in the nightly killing vote?

Also, if I could get a forward of the PM you'll be sending Kaden to inform him of his Ghostiness, I'd appreciate it."

I responded stating that "It will make Kaden a member of the Mafia.

It will not give him the ability to participate as a full member of the mafia towards killing votes or even to declare a target - I repeat that point, he is not able to be the one to send in the kill target as he is simply a Ghost, under your control, essentially. If you die, he dies, if he dies, you are unaffected. This is not a kill ability and won't be prevented by things that prevent kill attempts, but there are still other abilities that could possibly interfere.

Should the ability resolve, I will try to remember to forward you a copy of the text."

Thus we reach the conclusion of these abilities, leading to the following scenario...

---

Rose targets Kami for Feast.
Mal Nova targets Johnathon Meer for Destiny.
Piper targets Kaden for Stand United.
Meer targets John Doe for Mafia Execution.
Meer targets Kaden for Children of the Grave.
John Doe was slain by the mafia.
