Mafia: Elcenia Edition

[modrony]

I lose twice :/
But I got really close with one of them :)

good game everyone, i had a lot of fun playing with you guys.

I left lots of strategy stuff in the mafia thread for future townspeople.

So modulo that whole clusterfuck of the last two days, I think the Mafia had pretty close to perfect play. We got lucky in a lot of ways:

1. The roleposts made Tamien, our namecop, incredibly useful, and we knew who almost everyone was from Day 3 or so.
2. Our gut instinct that we should kill DanielH turned out to be correct.
3. We wouldn't have figured out Aestrix was the traitor so quickly if THE RNG hadn't chosen her.
4. We got lucky with COINflips twice (though we likely would have won anyway).

From my perspective, we only made one definite mistake (whatever allowed Kappa to figure out that pistachi0n was Mafia and kill her). Trying to get Aestrix lynched instead of nightkilling her is debatable, though in the end it turned out well. (I'm not sure whether removing one fewer Townie from the game is a price worth paying to have Town not know how many total Mafia players there are). I thought for a while that murdering Kappa on Night 5 was a big mistake but now that I know Paradox was protecting him it's clear that we only managed to kill her by simultaneously stabbing and having him kill Tulip (whose power attempted to kill anyone who used a power on her).

I *highly* recommend reading our private threads. I will post a list of highlights at some point, but really the whole things is great. Start at the bottom and work up in chronological order.

I have two major questions for other people:

-Kappa, how did you know to kill pistachi0n?
-Aestrix, what was your Truename?

[Aestrix]

Sarid.

Things I have learned from this game: I make the worst mole. Of all time. I cannot systematically lie to a group of people to save my life, apparently xD

[Shoal]

BSS, how did you know about MTC?
Jalapeno, why did you suspect me over Tamien and what did you think you would gain from pretending to suspect Tamien over me?

[Kappa]

I guessed on pistachi0n. And Tulip. And my next bunch of guesses also turned out to all be mafia, although it's possible I might have second-guessed myself and hit wrong, so you're lucky you killed me before I murdered you all in your sleep.

[Shoal]

Kappa, did you kill wolffreak?

[Kappa]

Yep.

Code: Select all

Night   Kill         Dayblock    Reasoning

1       [nobody]     Alphabeta    Nobody I want to kill; want to find out if blocking does something weird; Alpha seems likely to vote disagreeably

2       wolffreak    [nobody]    checking MTC's roleclaim; wolffreak isn't very useful discussionwise, claimed Mallyn so may not be part-immortal

3       [nobody]     [nobody]    I don't have any good leads on who I should be fucking with

4       pistachi0n   [nobody]    Felt like I should be killing somebody, no clear winners but pistachi0n has the most unambiguous suspicion rating in my list

5       tulip        [nobody]    Felt like I should be killing somebody, no clear winners so I fretted a bunch and then took a stab

[Shoal]

we thought you seemed a bit distraught on day 3 so we thought maybe you'd killed wolffreak by accident and we were confused. maybe it was non game related distress? <3
