Actually, it loads on my phone. So here it is.

"Despite the body count that had mounted up and the numerous mysterious/suspicious disappearances that had occurred already, when JakeP died, it was the first time people cared enough to actually call the police, he finally got the respect in death that he apparently didn't deserve as a mafia player. Quickly the CSIs arrived on-scene, wearing designer clothes and looking stylish instead of the forensically appropriate attire that was standard issue, Horatio Caine posed over the half eaten remains of JakeP, the obvious teeth marks on the broken bones and shredded flesh clearly indicated a humanoid creature far greater in size and stature than a human being. He remarked: ""Well it looks like his time was finally..."" pausing momentarily to put on shades despite it being a heavily wooded area and the middle of the night ""...Ogre.""

Puntification sighed, all this death and jane austin was really getting to him. Not even thinking about bee movie, his favourite movie that was no doubt a cinematic triumph with Jerry Seinfeld being as funny as he ever was (what's the deal with airline food? hahaha classic, jerry) could cheer him up. Everyone seemed dazed and confused, unsure what to do, the numerous grizzly deaths had really taken the momentum out of the game. He noticed Taste and Hal were up and about moving around the group, seemingly engaged in some sort of impenetrable ritual practice. He chuckled "that's way more active than they can usually be relied upon to be." trying desperately to extract some humour from the situation, he froze and the penny dropped. His ever-so handsome face shifted from a look of force levity to one of horror.

Suddenly it all made sense, the suffering, the deaths, the way the gaming station was in a ritual circle, Hal's and Taste's death soulless eyes, the whispering of restless spirits you could hear when you were near them, the way they daubed bloody runes from the viscera of each player that had died around the group and chanted each time someone died, it was all so obvious how hadn't we noticed before now? "Oh, sh-" The sky cracked open, thunder and gales erupted from the night sky drowning out all human voices while the wind seemed to scream inhuman curses, the ground shook and the blood on the ground lit up, the earth before them crumbled and the fell deep into hell.

Time seemed to distort, they fell for an age before slamming into the ground. Puntification gasped for breath, he could see the prone forms of the others nearby but hadn't the strength to rise and check on them. Suddenly a familiar noise came from his jacket pocket, the buzzing of his phone, if it weren't for his lack of breath he'd had laughed at the absurdity but he felt compelled to check it. Meekly grasping into his jacket pocket he unlocked the phone and pressed the message, from an anonymous sender: it was a role PM.

Sartre was right, Hell is other people, playing a party game involving an uniformed majority hunting an informed minority. FOREVER.

Allen wren (I always want to write allen west, the war criminal)

Windshipper AKA Dr. Whet faartz. Who knew you were actually an MD? You are the Town Doctor.

HIIPFIRE

The affable and loveable mafia boy-child mr.capps. Being such a sociable extrovert in a community of curmudgeons who only interact because they want to call strangers idiots makes you a Town Mason able to chat out of the thread along with your partner ASIINA.

ASIINA

Puntification, honestly, you’re not very good at mafia, you’ve won once in about ten games, it’s a real crappy track record, but one thing you can do is poo poo up a doc with all sorts of garbage thoughts. You are a Town Mason.

were endgamed by:

King Burgundy

The diabolical monster Hal Incandenza, death miller irl and scummy as anything, however you’re also a really nice guy and this can make people reluctant to lynch you, you can leverage this fact in your role as a Mafia Roleblocker.

EXAKT SCIENCE

Tremendous Taste, you’re a cool guy but drat unless you’re threatened with imminent death you post so little people barely know you’re playing. You are a mafia goon.

Some docs of interest:
Mod doc, contains night actions, unused flavour for larger game and unused death flavour for exakt
Scum doc
Masonry doc - note: I think I'll try to make sure masons are in the same time zone in future.

Thanks everyone, even though it kind of petered out at the end this was a lot more satisfying to run than low-effort mafia so if games are getting better in a couple more tries I should be able to run an active game from beginning to end!

I think the post-count reward system needed a bigger game so it could be developed a bit more as it ended up applying to a dead man, not being activated due to overall inactvity the second and then it was mylo and I wasn't gonna tip the scales at that point in either direction.

I also regret not having the patience to get the last couple of people because of the stuff I cut - I think the three-way masonry with one scum and the serial killer being in play would have been fun additions.

Here are the flavour PMs for the cop investigations:

quote:

You take Allen Wren aside and lawyer him up real good. Afterwards he kneels at your feet bloody and sobbing quietly like a child, you slip the brass knuckles back into your jacket pocket. Everything about him is broken but his story, I guess he really is town, you think. "The prosecution moves to acquit." You quip while placing your shades back on (having taken them off earlier to avoid blood splatter).


quote:

You follow MMM and set upon him with a gavel you nicked from court earlier, spending the night pummelling him senseless, quite how this helps you discern his alignment I'm not sure but then I'm not the professional lawyer. MMM is town.

I probably should have done some flavour for Allen getting roleblocked on the last night but I answered the email before I had coffee so didn't write anything interesting, sorry.

Well, the game has ended and there's nothing to be done about that. All that remains, is to determine who is guilty of not posting.

i'm afraid that in a game where flavour may be indicative of alignment, you might be able to figure out power roles from flavour

like maybe merk is a cop

What the hell, btw.

I haven't been a cop since something like Summer of 2011. I think my posting style unfortunately reduced the effectiveness of my role, it was actually confusing as hell being a cop in two smaller games simultaneously.

Punt posted:

somb has very good instincts unfortunately he doesn't always listen to them

:argh: I was fairly on point this game and then I died. I recognized going into the Asiina slapfight that I was probably going to be wrong but it was important for getting content going, sorry if that was frustrating Asiina! I definitely would have guessed MMM over KB because KB was playing a good game and MMM had stuff going on. Hope it all works out, buddy.

Yeah this game they killed you cos you were too on point I was specifically thinking of voyager, when you named the entire scumteam and then lynched someone else entirely, when I made that comment though. KB was definitely scum MVP he played very well.

Yeah, honestly it was kind of a bummer. Both times now that I've gotten a scum perfect victory it was with a whimper do to inactivity. I actually said in the scum doc I wish we hadn't killed Somber because then at least people would still be posting. (Though, we would have lost, haha) As usual as scum I tried to just play my normal town game as best I could.

The significance of my flavor was lost upon me. Probably because I'm a filthy, scrubby newbie.

Overall, though, good game! Probably best I died fairly early, though. These last few days have been... special.

Oh hey, sorry if I made the game unfun. I do tend to tunnel really hard to keep the game moving forward. It wasn't until Asiina put everything together that I realized I was being a dick.

No, noooo, it's cool. I think we just have very different play styles.

e: someday we will make a perfect, beautiful scum team together by just posting like we normally do
