Since I know Pokemon X is either assassin or mafia, I'm changing my vote to Pokemon X and I'll have to hope for the best in the coin flip. We know who the mafia is now, at least...

legacyme3 : It's a 3-3 tie, and I doubt that it's going to change.

megamanmaniac :

Regardless of how likely it is, I must wait until the period of time has elapsed.

There's always a method to my madness.

I'll update now.

-----

It was deadlocked. Madness. Three on one side, three on another. Silence. Profound and distinct, nerve-wracking and maddening.

KG and pokemon x. Only one would live. Only one would die.

Both stared intently at each other, and then at Leggy, who was at a loss as to how to handle this deadlock.

"I could ask you all to re-vote, but I'm fairly confident you would continue to vote the same way you already have." he said.

He was met with more silence. A damning confirmation if he ever heard it.

He thumbed around in his pockets. While he was doing so, supernerd117 took the opportunity to boast about how the game was over, and how the mafia had already won, in the most evil voice imaginable. So incredibly evil. But was he being honest, or just misleading the town away from the true threat...?

Ignoring that for now, Leggy finally found what he was looking for.

"Well, since I can't just force you to play nice, we must play the ultimate death game. The loser of this game, will obviously die. It's called a coin flip. Heads, it's KG. Tails, it's pokemon x."

This was not met with happy smiles. Rather, neither side was terribly happy with the fact the game could end on the whim of a coin.

Rather than get to the result, we should explain what the coin toss means to those in Leggy Land. It is one of the most sacred traditions known to Leggy-kind.

The lore is that coin flips always decide the truth. That it proves just causes, and defies false leads. It is said that a coin flip is what started Leggy's descent into madness. A coin flip that led us all to this very point.

This, this would be the penultimate coin flip for several people.

Or so everyone was thinking in that moment.

EideticMemory stepped up to the task, and saved us the trouble.

"I invoke my power of governor to forgo this coin flip." he went on.

Leggy smiled, knowing all along that he was never going to be flipping a coin today. He placed the nickel back into his pocket, folded his arms, and asked in a calm voice, "So, what is your decision? After all, you hold the power here."

He knew what EideticMemory was going to choose. Or who, rather.

"I choose... to kill off pokemon x."

"Can he do that?!" pokemon x screamed, "That's ****ing ridiculous!"

"Such is life, such is Leggy, and such is Innocent Town." Leggy said, as he shot pokemon x through the head, killing him.

The crowd was agape, in shock. They knew death was part of the game, and they knew a twist or two was in store. One thing they didn't expect, however, was how quick Leggy would be to kill one of the crucial pieces of his twisted game.

Pokemon X's role?

He was the Godfather. The leader of the Mafia.

And that, as they say, is that. Night is about to fall. Could it be the final night?

megamanmaniac :
patar4097 :
EideticMemory :
KG :
supernerd117 :

It is now a night round. As there are only 5 of you, I expect this night round will be over within 24 hours. If you could send in your PMs in the next 24 hours, that'd be fantastic.

If you read the post, you know that I'm the governor. Duh.

So Mafia's only chance to head after the assassin. They don't have a second to spare.

Well, here we go.

-----

Remember the whole crazy night one night ago? Of course not, many of you had long since turned in once the dramatic happened.

Well, this time, an even crazier night transpired. And all of you, bar one, bore witness to the carnage.

It all started with a silent snap of the neck. patar4097 died very quietly, and never knew what hit him. He was a member of the Mafia.

As his assassin (haw) left the room, they were decapitated in gruesome fashion. KG, the assassin was avenged by patar's brother in arms.

As he strolled back to his room, content in his action, and ready to go to bed to kill the last members of the town, he was shot in the face by a loose cannon who plays by the rules.

supernerd117 also perished, and he was the last member of the Mafia.

Day broke.

And then there were two.

EideticMemory :
megamanmaniac :

You two are the sole survivors of this contest. And both of you are members of the town. EideticMemory, the governor, whose shrewd move saved the town in their darkest hour, and megamanmaniac, the loose cannon, whose aim was true in the end, you have both won this game for the town, against the odds.

And just like that, they packed up, and left the town, only to come face to face with Leggy.

They debated killing him, given it was 2 on 1. However, before they stupidly acted on it, 7 burlesque men walked into the room, and two of them gave EideticMemory and megamanmaniac a box.

A scene similar to this happened, since I'm lazy

Once megamanmaniac drained his final bullet into Leggy's head, he walked off, disappointed that he would stoop so low.

Leggy was the Game Master.

Out of morbid curiosity, EideticMemory decided to open the box.

"Hey, you may want to get back here, megamanmaniac..." he called.

megamanmaniac stopped, considered for a moment, then walked back to EideticMemory.

Inside the box was the antidote to the poison that Leggy promised the survivors of the game.

You thought Leggy was the monster, but you became the very monster you sought to destroy.

And then, in a miraculous beam of light, Leggy was revived.

Turns out, the Game Master role has a secret power. Immortality. He was playing dead the whole time.

Then he smiled, shooed you out of the doors of the ballroom, and said, "Thank you for playing my game."

Then the doors were closed, and locked.

No one would be entering for many months.

The game is finally over, and I'll include MVPs/role list/actions list in my next post (Because otherwise, this post will be a monster).

I'll also summon all the players. So woo!

I was a fool.  I thought my confession would give us an edge, and it turned out I didn't read the rules close enough.  I have learned my lesson.  At least I made the game interesting.  Forgive me, my family!!!!

pokemon x :
patar4097 :

I was a fool.

Time to start the MVP post!

This game was a little tough, like last round, to choose MVPs. Up until a night round or two ago, there was no one really deserving of the award, and you'll see why in my actions list that I have kept up to date. However, by the end, three names stand above all the others.

1. EideticMemory - He saved the game for the town, literally. If he didn't use his power of governor at the last minute like he did, then the game would have had a 50/50 chance of ending with a Mafia win. To explain this... on Night 5, the Potato Rule went into effect. The Potato Rule will be explained in depth below, but basically, KG changed from a bystander, into an assassin. It was the existence of the assassin that prevented the town from losing on Day 6, as the ratio was 3 mafia to 2 town to 1 assassin. If KG was town, or died that day round, then the mafia would have won with 3 members, which I don't think has been done in a long time. The short of it is, that because he saved his power, rather than waste it early, he's an easy pick for this game's top honor.

2. megamanmaniac - This one however, isn't so much because MMM was skilled, as he was lucky on the night KG became an assassin. They both targeted the same player (mlb789), and because of it, KG stole his kill. He was notified of this via PM thanks to the rules of the Hidden Potato Rule (which will be explained below, along with the Potato Rule). I don't know if he told EM anything about it, or anyone besides himself, but thanks to this information, he could deduce who the Assassin was as soon as supernerd117 outed every single member of the mafia, in one of the dumbest moves in game history. (As EideticMemory proved himself a governor) Basically, had the game lasted just one more day round (by say him choosing to kill the same target as the mafia, KG), he would have had an alibi, and the town would have won unless EideticMemory was an idiot (which he has proved numerous times through the game, that he is not an idiot).

3. pokemon x - This was the hardest one to award, since there were 2 or 3 names I debated for this final spot. Ultimately, I'll go with the godfather that went relatively under the radar. It wasn't until late that his role became apparent, and even then, it was only because of said boneheaded move by supernerd117 that anyone could be sure of his alignment. He did exactly what mafia is supposed to do. Mislead, misdirect, misvote, and cause town harm while appearing innocent or dumb. Had supernerd not blown his cover, it's entirely possible that the mafia would have won.

Below is the long ass role sheet.

MAFIA ROUND 17

Potato Rule - If 2 of the 4 power roles on the town side are killed or are about to be killed, then one of the Bystanders at random will become an Assassin in the day/night round that the number of power roles falls below 3 remaining. (Unless there are less than 6 players left)

Hidden Potato Rule - If the above happens, and the Assassin chooses to kill one player in their first night as an assassin, the other players will be notified that there is an assassin. (Unless they choose to kill a player who is already being killed.)

NOTE - as a result of the past night, KG rolled the Potato Rule's Assassin role. She was given a kill in the 5th night round, as outlined by the Potato Rule. Should she choose to kill someone, who isn't already being killed, it will be announced there is an Assassin, as outlined by the Hidden Potato Rule. However, if she chooses to kill a player who is being killed by someone else, she will steal the kill, and the person who WOULD have been the killer will be notified that there is an assassin in private.

NOTE #2 - As of the end of the 5th night, there are 3 mafia, 2 town, and 1 Assassin. Normally, without an assassin, this would mean a mafia win. However, as there is one, neither side has officially won or lost yet, and the game can go either way.

patar4097 - KG
EideticMemory - pokemon x
KG - patar4097, pokemon x

Mafia 2 (supernerd117) - megamanmaniac, KG
Loose Cannon (megamanmaniac) - supernerd117 (1 kill remaining)
Assassin (KG) - patar4097

Kills - patar4097 (by KG), KG (by supernerd117), supernerd117 (by megamanmaniac)

GAME OVER - TOWN WIN

-----

Some final notes by me.

-mlb789 had s*** luck as the sheriff. In the 5 nights as sheriff, he investigated 4 bystanders (although one became an assassin. She also killed him as soon as he investigated her apparently)

-supernerd117 voted KG to die twice in a row. Ultimately it was supernerd117 who killed KG, and thus won the game for the town. Most townsided Mafia ever.

-Aside from no-kill, the most popular vote was KG. She was voted for by Surgiac (twice in one round, and then again the next day, this was before she was an assassin, for a grand total of three times), supernerd117 (twice, though he took back the first vote, to bandwagon on Surgiac, who kept voting to kill KG. This should have been the first sign he was mafia, as changing from one clear side to another so quickly, without much discussion is a sign of super scum), megamanmaniac (four times in a row due to a posting error, but took all of them back to vote pokemon x), and every member of the mafia in the final day round. She was relentlessly targeted this game, and deserves a round of applause for living so long.

-On night 4, megamanmaniac had targeted supernerd117, but changed at the last second to alexanyways, a bystander. Had he in fact killed supernerd117, it would have likely meant doom for the town, as supernerd117 later revealed every member of the mafia in his post near the end of the game. It's odd to think of it like that, but not killing the mafia here actually benefited the town.

-Out of morbid curiosity, I decided to flip a coin, even though I knew EideticMemory was going to use his power of governor. Had the coin flip counted (it would have been the result, had he not used his power), then KG would have died, and the mafia would have won via coin flip.

That's all!

Any questions or comments about the above can be left in this thread, as it will be open until I open the Kanashi Shima game thread is open!

The only one I figured out to truly be mafia was supernerd because of the way he switched votes on KG. That's what also made me think she was mafia. I thought he was trying to defend her. Should've gone with supernerd instead. Even when I do make a rational vote, it's always wrong.... I'm really not cut out for this game....

I can't help but laugh. As soon as supernerd revealed everyone in the mafia, I knew that there was a chance that town would win, and we came out with the victory.

supernerd117 : Thank you supernerd for helping town out. We really appreciate it.

And I really can't believe I got MVP. I made mistakes (although they ultimately gave town the win). This was an...interesting game to say the least. I'm glad I walked out alive and can enjoy life again...of course I am going on a survivor show soon...so I may die there. Until then, farewell Leggy...

Well, I guess that wraps up my first Mafia.

I can't wait for the next one!

And...

Wow, guys. That's amazing we pulled it off after a cluster of bad votes. I'm really impressed we did it. Congrats on the comeback, Town!

So that was something. Also Y'ALL A BUNCHA H8RS. Poor targeted KG. Vote for someone worth voting for next time, ya jerks!!

I'm too intimidating for mafia.

KG : More harsh than intimidating. You actually acted similar to the way I had when I was the Godfather(I wasn't as aggressive though). That's why I went after you.


pokemon x : Good job on hiding yourself. It's difficult being the Godfather.

Pfft, I was only harsh on you and they used it as an excuse to vote for me because that's what people do.

But anyway, I don't know enough about the roles and system for this game apparently. As in, who can kill who and win and turns and blah blah blah. It's not that complicated but I just don't even with the alignments and shenanigans and such. ALSO TRUSTING. I thought possibly that EM and I could win since he wanted to team up with me, even though I kinda figured he'd try to get me killed for a town victory, since I thought MMM was mafia and didn't foresee them both trying to stick it to me. Which was dense. Oh well. Shame on you for taking advantage of my retardism, EM.

It was fun though. I'm pumped for the Kanoshisi shimososoo thing. It shouldn't involve as much strategy on my part, which'll be good.

Surgiac : only role to grab attention is usually tree role so people feel stupid for voting for it. But other than that it is hard to keep your roles secret or else mafia/town will go against you during night/day if they can. Which is why sheriff or any other role that lets you know others role since it can help you who to trust and who not to trust.

pokemon x : I had fun when I was Godfather Christmas. It is pretty difficult trying to be unassuming when no matter what you do/don't do gets you accused of something.
