Mafia in La-La Land (Game over!)

[Quilford]

End of Day 8

You've had nightmares before. You know how they work: you've finally been trapped in a hopeless situation. Death is imminent. You throw up your hands to shield your face, or you lash frantically at your attacker as they withdraw a knife or a gun. Maybe the walls are slowly grinding together like one of those classic death traps from old thriller movies. Maybe a snake is slithering across the ground towards you, ready to pump you full of venom. Maybe you are free-falling, the ground rushing up to meet you. In any case, you know that when the bullet enters your body, or the knife enters your skin, or the moment you make contact with the ground at terminal velocity -- in that instant you know you will wake up. It's just what happens.

This time, however, you wake up and the nightmare doesn't end.

[Quilford]

Endgame

Dimly you see someone standing above you. The room is dark and you can not make out their figure. Your brain screams danger and sends a rush of adrenaline through your body, but it is too little too late. You try to sit up but your assailant pushes you back down onto the soft mattress and draws a blade across your throat. Just like that.

Endgame

Jesus Christ you've had enough of this. Honestly, kill a bunch of customers of this sleep centre thing? Undetected? You better be getting paid handsomely. You wish you knew for what purpose you just murdered all those people, but *someone* slacked off on the flavour. That doesn't bode well for your pay. Ugh. You and your other alive accomplice split up to extract the memorycells from your dead accomplices so they can be re-lifed above surface, and then you scram. You don't want to stick around this creepy place any longer than necessary. You've got things to do, people to see. You take one last look around the dark Lunarium before you close the door to the place and start the long journey up.

Spoiler: About the Dream Planter ability / Dream mechanic

The Mafia must create two lists, one ranking themselves in order of preference (most to least) to appear in a Dream, and one ranking everybody else in order of preference (most to least) to appear in a Dream. They must indicate how many of themselves they want to appear in the Dream (they must choose at least one) -- the number they choose is the number of names taken from the top of the Mafia list. The remainder is drawn from the 'everybody else' list (9 - 6(mafia/town) rounded to the nearest number equalled the number of players that were to appear in a dream). If any player from either list dies (from Vigilante or Mafia kill), simply replace them with the next player in the respective preference list. A maximum of two players may appear in concurrent Dreams, but not for three or more Dreams in a row (if not possible, this condition was waived).

Compose the PM using the sample PM in the Setup modpost.

Then, create a list of all the players who did not use an action at night (including those who had no action to use, i.e. Vazzzilla Townies and some Mafia Zzzoons), factor in the action of the Compulsive Pharmacist, randomise it using random.org's List Randomiser, and send the PM to whoever appears at the top of that list.

This was explained to the Mafia like so:

You must create two lists -- one containing the names of members presently in your faction ranked from greatest to least preference to appear in a Dream, and the other containing the names of players who are not presently members of your faction ranked from greatest to least preference to appear in a Dream. You must also indicate how many members of your faction you want to appear in the Dream. This number must be greater than or equal to one (1) unless otherwise specified. These two lists are used to compose the Dream. The number of members in your faction you specified you wanted to be in the Dream will be drawn from the top of the list in which you ranked your faction members from most to least preference to appear. The remainder of players necessary to fill the number of slots to appear in a Dream -- a number you are not aware of -- will be drawn from the top of the list of names of players who are not part of your faction ranked from most to least preference to appear in a Dream. The Dream is then composed and sent to a randomly selected Sleeping player. This ability resolves after kills, meaning that a Dream cannot be sent to a dead player, nor can dead players appear in a Dream. If a player who was to appear in a Dream dies, the next player down in their list is selected to take their place, provided they too are still alive.

A maximum of two players may appear in concurrent Dreams, but not for three or more Dreams in a row.

The

Dream Planter

ability resolved last.

QuickTopics

Mafia had two QuickTopics: the first SnakePlissken couldn't unlock (my fault), so he created a second one. The Dead QT (a veritable bastion of frenzy and excitement) is here. The Neighbour QT is here, but sadly its owner died before it could be put to any good use (sob).

--

I am so, so sorry for flaking on this game. Unforeseen real world stuff took all my spare time away. Thanks to SnakePlissken for his efforts, Gammagooey and BBmolla for taking over after him (you guys were superb), my reviewers, all those who replaced in, and all those who played through to the very end. I hope this game has not badly coloured your perceptions of me. I'm sorry if that was the case.

I have a few more comments to make on the setup, but I'll save them until after the thread is unlocked.

Thanks for playing!

[DeasVail]

In the scum QT you get to watch me make a complete fool of myself.

Thanks for modding Quilford! It's a shame you didn't get to mod this completely (and it would've been nice to see the flavour in full), but I'm glad you made it back. I liked the dreamt/undreamt role modifiers and the setup, although with the mod errors I don't know whether the dreams would have had a significant impact or not with things being normal.

Arrrgggh! That was so stressful. I want to say thanks so much to Nacho for replacing in and being awesome. I was so happy when I saw that you were. Also, Equinox scared me so much.

I'm so lucky that you guys in the dead QT were dead.

And sorry N.

[Quilford]

I was hoping it would get to 3p LYLO and then I could say postgame 'so the modding sucked, but at least the setup appears to be balanced!' but nooooo, the scumteam was far too good for that. (The

Dream

mechanic should really have been a bit stronger, with one or two less players appearing in dreams per night.)

[Gammagooey]

woo scumteam

i'll comment on stuff later probably

<3 for nacho and Empking replacing in
(especially nacho)

[PeregrineV]

Ah well, almost made it town.

I'm glad DV was scum. It was a gut thing, but I think I'll be able to spot scum-Dv from here on out.

I read the mafia QTs, but still don;t get it.

@Quil-can you explain the dream mechanic in laymen's terms?

[Gammagooey]

mafia picks

-The number of scum in the dream
-Their preferences of who should be in the dream

the mod takes that and creates a dream using the number of scum given and how many players are supposed to be in the dream given a formula that was in the mod qt somewhere. until they ran out of new players to put in dreams mafia can't use more than 2 players in dreams in consecutive nights. any players killed before day are removed from the dream and replaced with the next person down on the list for their alignment.

[Nachomamma8]

I mean, if I were scum, it'd be the same guy with the same group of townies, for the most part.
They'd eventually find him, but it'd be one scum for like 4-5 lynches, which minimizes damage pretty efficiently.

herp derp

[RachMarie]

So why did you bus me so hard Nacho lol

good job everyone

and a big KUDOS to my fellow scum mates you ROCKED ♥

[RachMarie]

I am glad we won anyways I would have played it differently if I had known that Equinox had not slept

[DeasVail]

It was great getting to be scum with you Rach. I also saw what you did in the dead QT haha.

[DeasVail]

And happy birthday!!!

[RachMarie]

aww thanks ♥

and LOL

TBH I totally forgot who Nacho replaced til later then I realized ohhhh he uber bussed me ROFL

[Mehdi2277]

Well the bus helped. Dead qt comments at the end was DV scum with peta or Emp (I thought emp just because I've seen shii play well as scum, emp's play didn't make me trust the slot a ton, and mainly I still found peta to be likely town).

[N]

Dammit Nacho. Why you always scum?

[RachMarie]

LOL he is not always scum I have been in several games with him when he was town.

[N]

He's been scum in all three games I've played with him.

[Nachomamma8]

So why did you bus me so hard Nacho lol

good job everyone

and a big KUDOS to my fellow scum mates you ROCKED ♥

yeah, sorry about that.
I wanted to use your scumflip to push a case on petapan and a bit of towncred before the string of mislynches that we were going to need. I also felt that you being a scum PR would really help that along and didn't really mind losing it because I didn't think there would be any other PRs.

TBH I totally forgot who Nacho replaced til later then I realized ohhhh he uber bussed me ROFL

Dammit Nacho. Why you always scum?

next time i won't be, pinky promise

[RachMarie]

Well TBF it has been a pretty rough time for me lately

I would have been V/LA if you had not bussed me like I was elsewhere.

For those who were not aware my dad died the sunday before Thanksgiving and NS and I spent 2 weeks in his apartment boxing everything up.

[4nxi3ty]

sorry to hear about your dad, rach.

ahh nacho i couldn't even the score after adwd ._.

[MattP]

Nacho, you are one of the most impressive scum players on this site

That is all.
