I don't want to take away from mafia winning, but I think it was a lot more the town throwing away the game.

Regardless, they used the inactivity to their advantage well.

I was planning to reveal that I was Varus, and that my ability, Living Vengeance, meant that when half or more of the players had been killed, I could kill one target per night. Didn't need to.

As a side note, the inactivity was not singularly advantageous for us. Twice we missed the opportunity to use 17's power.

This is accurate, and drove me nuts.

That said, with Maruset not posting at all on the final day, it sealed it. There was no possible way the Players could have a chance once he stopped posting. Really, it also hurt that multiple town players either didn't show up very much or never used abilities. That is very crucial to take into account.

I'm having to try to just tell myself that D3 had just come out and no one gave a shit, but I don't really know. It was very frustrating. I'll post abilities soon.

You are a Troll! Please read over the rules listed in the Information post about the use and timing of the Execute Ability and any other information. Your victory condition is that any time the Trolls outnumber the remaining Players, you win!

There are currently three members of the Trolls. Those areAnzekay, Rose, and Android 17. You may, and are encouraged to, all communicate with each other through the use of the PM system and organize how you wish to procede as well as who you wish to kill.

Remember, the person who sends me the most recent Execution target is considered to be the character using the Ability. This can backfire if someone’s Ability allows it to, but if no one sends in the kill order, the Trolls will be considered to have chosen not to kill anyone that night. If an Execution fails, I will inform the player that used the Ability but I may not include more information beyond confirmation that it failed.

[John Doe]

Very sad by the lack of activity. Very happy that I was dead on correct with my assumptions. Very sad that nobody listened to them (except Kaden).

[Mal Nova]

Yeah the safest thing for Kayne to have done is to have almost automatically announced her ability. I don't know if 'Execute' is considered an ability, but if its not then the ability is deadly only to her team.

That being said...My main suspicion was the 17...

Had some idiots not banned me<_< >_>

Things could have been MUCH MUCH different....COuld have... it woulda been my damned luck that I'd have shroomed a few people and got just enough information to help eliminate a few..... then Plop onto that god damned Singed!(Lom1 anyone?)

There is no way to tell though. I just don't like the fact of the first come first serve thing. Most abilities were probably used before 7AM which is when I got off so when I got home anyone that was gonna visit me had already done so and thus making that Shroom half assed worthless for that night and having to hope someone would visit me another night.

And it would have been the same the next night.

THought about asking if I could send my Shroom in advance right before I went to work but I think I agitate that cute Little Timmy enough as it is =P


But just to take away from the Trolls.... I FLawlessed last game =P

[Maruset]

Pretty much as Ashe said, I'd given up by the last day. Seemed like a lot of people were largely absent and the failure to even get a ban, any ban, when we had to get one or pretty much guarantee a loss irritated me to no end. My suspicions were Anzekay and Kayne with no idea as to a third, largely because their actions made no sense to me whatsoever. Felt like no one had abilities this time around either for all the good it did us.

[Anzekay]

Yeah I gotta say, not having people posting as much makes it a lot more difficult to blend in with everyone else, and there is less people to potentially shift the blame towards.

It just makes it harder for everyone really.

Ah well, it happens.

[Anzekay]

For the record, I wasn't bothered so much be doing some pretty random things, because I had my ability to fall back on. I was also hoping to use 17's ability to throw the odd spanner in the works but that didn't really happen

[Mal Nova]

Would have actually bit you in the ass if you used it on Day 2

[Super Buu]

Yeah I certainly knew that by the end, I was getting very suspicious. I could easily have thrown Anzekay or 17 into the pit since they had suspicion and going against that made me look worse. However I also knew that if we could last just a couple days extra with all of us, we'd win. So I put everything on that last day, knowing that with this strategy, if the game was prolonged by the death of just one of us then it'd really backfire.

There's a lot of mafia that's about adapting and making the best of any situation which, given the inherent randomness of the game, is what makes it so fun.

[John Doe]

I just noticed something. Kaden targeted two mafia the night I was killed, but not the mafia that killed me.

FUCK!

[Super Buu]

I may be wrong, but I think Anzekay's ability would have blocked it anyway.

[Kaden]

I just noticed something. Kaden targeted two mafia the night I was killed, but not the mafia that killed me.

FUCK!

Was really sad about that. I was pretty sure I knew two of the mafia members and was really hoping there wasn't a third out there.

I may be wrong, but I think Anzekay's ability would have blocked it anyway.

It would have worked. My power didn't prevent anything, just delayed it. I confirmed that with Ashe after the game was over.

[Vad]

A female kept me busy so I had no time to participate. I mean...weigh the options here. A beautiful girl wants to spend time with me...or post in Mafia.


On that note I'm sorry I wasn't more active. My bad. GG

[Kayne]

Although we lost, I rather enjoyed this game. Although next time, Rose and 17 are going down first.
