TW Mafia: Safety Off

[WillBy]

Sorry for post spam, very bored at lunch and thoughts flowing. I think overall everyone played well. There was some lurking, but players did well calling out scum and lynching lurkers, which I liked. I wanna give a special shout out and some comments to our new players.

Lots of posts were flowing in, especially the first couple days and I think that overwhelmed Biet and mido. It is tough finding the time to read it all. People were especially disorganized this game. It just takes some getting used to.

People have commented on ixts play, saying it is scummy etc. I kind of agree, but I am aware that in the IRL version people do talk and accuse more aggressively. FWIW he did make some good callouts. TW mafia ends up being more about bread crumbs than reading people, but being able to read people that way can end up being more valuable. I can't wait to play a game with you all.

Please layout the final roles either here or on first page. And thanks for hosting

Voth used both bulletproof vests on himself. Lol.

Also someone should host another game so I can play. I am willing to give advice on my balancing strategies and organization techniques. Let me know if interested.

I gave everyone in the game the ability to self target, which inadvertently led to undercuts death. Rip.

One change I would make would be to add another killing role, probably a sk. This would make the game go a little faster. Maybe just leave it even night and give it either a survivor or mafia win condition to make it not impossible.

roles were completely randomized minus some specific changes like making turban (a more experienced mafia player) the godfather over midoent, and making nuke a VT.

I think Jessup played the roleblocker role pretty well, but wtf was the bomb claim? I'm honestly sad people seemed to buy it.

fis's inventor role claim was super cool, and a role I've used in my games before.

turban fucked up the deputy role claim, which was a bit sketchy to begin with.

I also want to say that fiS did a good job while having two not so active players to work with. One probably said 1 line every phase, while the other literally shot himself, that can only have caused a lot of frustration. GG!

If fiS and turban were online during American hours, they could've flipped at the end of day 6 and won the game. Much credit to both of them prior to that. Game did last longer than I think anyone expected, sorry turpi

While on lunch, I'll post an explanation of fis's role:
the Mafis Saboteur is a role I've invented in an effort to balance against the 3 strongest town rules out there. I've seen PM allowed games where the doctor and cop got together, cop went public with doctors protection, and gg mafia. The idea was to copy the Mafia Framer's abilities to interact with the other night actions in the game. Whenever the saboteur targets the same player as another power role, the results get jumbled in some manner.

for a cop, the result would be framing the target player.
for a doctor or bodyguard, protection was switched to the saboteur
for a role locker, the block would fail. Indicating something was up.
for a killing role, it was a janitor type role, meaning the death write up would only include allegiance as opposed to actual roles. This is what happened with jessups death.
Bus driver was unaffected as it had priority (making everything confusing).

I gave fiS and the mafia team 0 explanation of the role (because I didn't want to give away the other roles in the game) except for the framer part.

Good game, thanks for hosting Willby, this was pretty fun! I had some problems getting into the pace of the game, and made some deliberate but obvious mistakes. I'm still not sure if some were actually mistakes or rather happy accidents. Hoping to catch another game soon.

GG TOWN !! GG MAFIA!! It was great fun! ^_^

Gonna post my hot or not soon. I didn't spend toooo long making it and its just an opinion piece from my personal standpoint about this game and how it unfolded.

[fiS]

GG. I've got quite some thoughts on the game too, I will share later.
For now:
Props to Voth, you were kinda lucky that you had the cop result that was later even confirmed, but during the entire game you had kinda solid gut feelings, carrying the entire game.
Tbh I never really understood my role and how it works, kinda tough to play tbh, giving me a hard time.

Thanks for hosting WillBy ♡

[Voth]

i have one thought i want to share right away, because this is the biggest one that comes to mind:

ixt: you are by far the scummiest townie i've ever played with. at not one point during the game was i more than 80% sure you were town, and i only reached that level on this last vote, and it was only because i was way more sure fis was mafia.

[Voth]

I have extensive thoughts about this game, and will share then when I get home. I will share my spreadsheet of night actions and votes, some funny comments about the game, some notes about how things went down, and a fuller explanation on some of the events of the game. Appx 5.5 hours

looking forward to it, willby. thanks so much again for hosting.

"My monitor is broken, it's just showing black."
"Press the power button."
"That fixed it, thanks."
Click.

"Help desk, this is Darryl."
"I think I have a virus?"
"Did you click on anything you shouldn't have?"
"Uhh, no?"
"Fine, I'll restore your previous session."
Click.

"Help desk, this is Darryl."
"I spilled coffee on my keyboard."
"Okay. Come to the IT office to get a new one."
"And it deleted my my email program."
"Right..."
Click.

"Help desk, this is Darryl."
"Meredith just sits at her desk all day and plays some offensive spaceship game."
"That's not an IT issue, take it up with her manager."
"You're not very helpful. I want to talk to your manager."
Click.....

Enough was enough.

fiS aka Darryl the IT guy has been fired for destroying the server room, and in locking every floor computer, and grinding production to a halt. He even shot the help desk phone with some sort of makeshift firearm. He was a Mafia Saboteur.

Game ends. Town wins

let us all have a moment of silence for the poor mafia kitten

[fiS]

Sigh.
