Holiday Mafia: Not A Creature Was Stirring....

[sdrawkcab]

bussed that shit right into the godfather

[the_paul]

Vote BACKWARDS

Piece of cake. Bussed Exalt and Backwards, hopefully Voth can confirm.

[the_paul]

At the end of the day, as long as Voth targeted either myself or backwards, this game should be over. Nothing to do but wait until then I guess

[Exalt]

Lol fuck. I just realized you both could have visited me, depending on how the rules are interpreted. Bus driver drove me, Godfather visited me and got buzzed to himself. Godfather is NK immune so yeah.

[Voth]

Tracked Paul, and he did indeed visit both Backwards and Exalt.

Exalt, I don't follow?

vote Backwards

[Voth]

Oh, now I do follow. Fuck. LOL

[LF]

Just need a vote from Exalt...but Im fairly certain this game is about over

[Voth]

Yeah I'm staying with Backwards.

[Voth]

With my vote on him, that is.

[Exalt]

VOTE: Backwards

[LF]

And with that, backwards was marched into the town square and assassinated for his sins. He was the 3rd and final MAFIA.

Town wins this game

Give me a few minutes and I will lay out everybody's roles and Night Actions.

I highlighted moments that I felt were integral in the outcome of the game

My intentions for this particular design of game would have (I think) been better with 4-5 more people. I originally planned it for 12 and had to remove roles from my original plan to accommodate for roughly 33% less than what I was hoping for. So while it wasn't ideal, it did go pretty damn close to how I intended. What I think swung this game in Town's favor was that Voth literally batted 1.000 in his night actions. With a 1/7 chance he nailed Vehicle Night 1 and with a 1/5 chance nailed Jessup the following night. Then, with 3 people all claiming Bus Driver, he managed to pick the right one and confirmed Paul's identity on the final night. With arguably town's most powerful role dying night 1 (Psychic), he HAD to play a perfect game for town to win, and he did.

What I would change: If I could do it over again, I would have made the 3rd party (Willby in this case) a less passive role. He would have become unstoppable IF he managed to infect everyone (Nobody knows if/when they are ever infected) but in such a small game his role turned out to be incredibly boring and I wish I had chose a better role for him. Also, I apologize for not being clear on some of the mechanics. It has been a long time since I've played and/or hosted this in a forum atmosphere, and with all of you being veteran players I was of the assumption that everyone already knew the mechanics and that they weren't so subjective on a host-to-host basis. I was not aware that there was more than one way to play. If and when I host this again (Which I would really like to in the very near future) I will try to be more clear.

With that said, if there is interest I'd like to do another game after the New Year. I know of at least 2 more players in-game that saw this one happening after the fact and wished they had known about it beforehand so they could have played. Next time around I will run some zoners in-game and see if we can lure a few more in. Overall though I think this went very well, better than I could have hoped for. Thanks for playing!

Well done town. Backwards that was a pretty clever move claiming bus driver before I could. It might have worked even better if Jessup had committed sooner, but you were dealt a shitty hand with the tracker.

Voth nice redemption, although suk dik for wanting to lynch me every game. Your night actions were on point though. Sucked for the mafia that you and Exalt got linked up publicly so quickly. That pretty much won it.

[the_paul]

I can't tag you for some reason, but thank you for hosting LF. It was a fun game.

Out of a curiosity about mechanics, what would have happened if Backwards had targeted himself last night? Would he have killed Exalt because I bus drove them? Lots of interesting mechanical questions that came up in the game, which was a fun change of pace.

[LF]

Not confirmed by any wiki or anything, but just in my own personal experience playing this game elsewhere (Town Of Salem), then Godfather can not target himself. Lets say he's not in any way impacted by an outside force (Like a transporter) does he just shoot himself in the foot and nothing happens? I think that's stupid and wouldn't allow it

Backwards did, in fact, try to do exactly that on the final night....target himself
