Hey guys, backup mod here. Let's have a votecount to start with:

Unright (1) -- curiouskarmadog
curiouskarmadog (1) -- Dragon Phoenix

I'll have a chat with Aimee about this game; it might be necessary for me to takeover if her access is too limited. (And I

still

haven't got the list of everyone's roles yet). Deadline as soon as replacement situation is sorted.

[Patrick]

Streeflo replaces mandalorian.

[Patrick]

I've just looked at your posts and don't see any requests for replacement. I'm going by what Aimee told me.

[Patrick]

Yes.

[Patrick]

I request replacement. This game is too tedius to just simply go onto every so often. It's not fun anymore, and for that, I'm out.

Finding a replacement for Nekka Lucifer, with some disgust.

As for a deadline, you can have a 2 week one. Long because there's one replacement catching up and I'll be finding a new one. The deadline is the 27th of December, time of day will be specified nearer the time.

[Patrick]

Bookitty replaces Nekka Lucifer. As soon as I have the mod powers, I'll update the first post.

Guys, I don't think I should really be commenting on how much flavour PMs do or don't contain.

mod, can you make sure I'm listed there on the first page? Thanks.

Not at the moment. I will as soon as jeep gives me mod powers for this thread, which I asked for like a week ago.

[Patrick]

Jordan has asked to be replaced due to lack of time. I'm looking.

[Patrick]

Setael replaces JordanA24, though she's unlikely to post until the 27th.

In light of the replacement and the fact that several people are likely to be away over christmas, I'm extending the deadline to the 2nd of January. This time it's final. 8 votes to lynch before then, 5 votes to deadline lynch someone. Merry Christmas all.

-----------------------------

Six people is enough to lynch someone at deadline, and you guys have chosen Bookitty. Poor Bookitty. You all feel very sorry looking at her hanging there dead, at least until you've all taken a look at her home and her possessions, which would suggest that she doesn't deserve to be mourned for. It's not every day that you kill the leader of the local mafia, so you can all feel very proud of yourselves.

Bookitty - Mafia Godfather - lynched day 1

It is now night 1, with a 72 hour deadline. Send all nightchoices to me. I can't lock the thread because I still don't have mod powers.

[Patrick]

So yeah, nobody post obviously, since it's night. It's punishable by modkills

[Patrick]

farside22 replaces Unright.

[Patrick]

Shanba replaces Gage.

[Patrick]

You all wake up for day 2 in your Panamarian Village, to find that.... nobody has died. Yup. 13 of you still alive. That means that 7 votes will be needed to lynch someone. Play nice!

-------------------------

In double quick time, you all decide to lynch curiouskarmadog, who willingly helps. With his last words, he wishes the town good luck, no doubt feeling guilty about the role he was given in this game. With CKD lynched, the town is closer to winning.

curiouskarmadog - Mafia Goon - lynched day 2

Night 2 has fallen, with the usual 72 hour deadline. No posting in the thread please.

[Patrick]

Alright. With the exception of simul posts.

[Patrick]

You all wake up to find that Setael has been killed. She was shot through the head with a single bullet, and has been dead for over 10 hours. A search of her possessions reveals that she wasn't scum, just a simple townsperson, or for the flavour of this game, a panamanian villager. Everyone else seems to be alright, so you all gather in the square to start the day 3 deliberations.

Setael - Panamanian Villager - killed night 2

Day 3. With 11 players alive, 6 votes will be enough for a lynch.

Setael is replacing Streeflo.

-------------------------

While the mod isn't watching, you all sneakily decide to lynch volkan, who claims to be a one shot vig. When he expires, you all search his corpse, finding a revolver with no bullets left in it. Scum would still have had ammo left, so you sadly have to conclude that he was telling the truth.

vollkan - One shot Vigilante - lynched day 3

Night 3. You have 72 hours. No posting in the thread.

[Patrick]

Day 4 dawns for you to find that another person has been eliminated. Last night's victim was Albert B Rampage, who's rampage through town was stopped very suddenly by a hail of bullets. Albert was a member of the town masonic society, with the usual secret handshake etc etc. He will be very sadly missed.

Albert B. Rampage - Mason - killed night 3

It's day 4. With 9 players alive, 5 votes will be enough to lynch.

------------------------------

Five of you decide that farside22 needs to die today. Five of you vote for this to happen, and five of you overpower her and string her up to die. Five of you search her body after she's expired, and five of you find nothing to suggest that she was evil or plotting against the town. All of you are either depressed or pretending to be depressed as the crowd disperses, after another bad day.

farside22 - Panamanian Villager - lynched day 4

It is night 4. You have 72 hours to send me nightchoices.

[Patrick]

You all wake up to a bright and sunny day 5, to find that Shanba has been killed. He was often mistaken for a female due to his nice sounding name, but he was in fact a guy, and a member of the masonry in our Panamanian Village. May he rest in peace, while the rest of you save the village.

Shanba - Mason - killed night 4

It's day 5. With 7 alive, it's 4 votes to lynch!

-------------------------------

Wow. You people are definitely eager! Four of you pretty much drag Lowell out of bed, overpower him and string him up without letting him say a word, no doubt on the grounds that defences are overrated. When he's dead you all search his property and his corpse, and discover that he was yet another simple villager, who had no part in any conspiracies or killings.

Lowell - Panamanian Villager - lynched day 5

Night 5. The usual deadline applies.

[Patrick]

Day 6, in contrast with yesterday, is rather gloomy and rainy, and your numbers have been cut down to 5. Setael didn't make it through the night. A search reveals that she owned a gun, but she's been too afraid to use it in this game. The reason is that her role wasn't vig, but cop. And now you'll have to save the village without her.

Setael - Cop - killed night 5

Day 6. With 5 players alive, it's 3 votes to lynch.

Another lightning fast lynch. Dragon Phoenix wishes the town good luck before they get rid of him, yet another panamanian villager. Everyone is feeling rather sad now about all the green blood.

Dragon Phoenix - Panamanian Villager - lynched day 6

Night 6 has started. The usual deadline applies.

[Patrick]

Three of you wake up to the seventh day in Panama to find that MoS has been shot, and is very dead. He was a villager. The three of you know that today must be the final day. The fate of the village, and more importantly the game, hangs in the balance. Hmm.

Mastermind of Sin - Panamanian Villager - killed night 6

Day 7 begins. With just 3 players alive, you need 2 votes to lynch.

[Patrick]

Final Votecount

Battle Mage (2) -- pete d, Porochaz

Not voting: Battle Mage
3 alive, 2 to lynch.
--------------------------------

In light of very compelling evidence, pete d and Porochaz feel comfortable lynching Battle Mage at record breaking speed. He struggles wildly, but with two others alive, the rules of the game prevent Battle Mage from using his gun, and he is soon overpowered. Battle Mage's last breath also marks the last breath of the mafia presence in the village, and pete d and Porochaz can go home safe in the knowledge that nobody will be killing them during the night. You guys took a fairly scenic route, but you've destroyed the mafia.

Battle Mage - Mafia Goon - lynched day 7

pete d - Panamanian Villager - Survived
Porochaz - Panamanian Villager - Survived

Town wins!

[Patrick]

A few thoughts about the game:

I feel the setup pretty clearly favours the town. I think it would be balanced with 2 fewer vanilla townies and without the vig, which would make it the same as a mini normal I ran a while back. I played a small part in helping Aimee review it, and was pretty sure the game was supposed to contain a mafia roleblocker and one other difference, but Aimee apparently changed it late on without telling me.

As for the game itself, I thought the mafia was screwed early on, when Battle Mage was the only one left and with the luggage of being a claimed doctor which stopped him killing the cop easily. I was suprised that the mafia failed to send in any nightkills at all for the first two nights. I was also suprised that Battle Mage wasn't lynched as soon as Setael was nightkilled, even though it was reasonable to see Dragon Phoenix as a possible accomplice. Battle Mage seemed to be the obvious lynch there. But there was no real way he could have talked himself out of the endgame anyway.

Thanks to everyone who replaced into this game and made my job easier (doubly thanks to Setael). I hope it was enjoyed despite the somewhat unbalanced setup.

[Patrick]

I disagree that this game was balanced toward the town from the start. If the mafia would've sent in NKs N1 and N2, they'd have won. That's what you get for trusting BM to be active enough to send in your kills.

Take out the two masons and the setup might be balanced. With them the town has too much power considering how small the mafia is.

I don't think the mafia would have won even if they'd nightkilled nights 1 and 2. There's only so many nights a claimed doctor should be surviving before people start wondering why they aren't being nightkilled.
