Halloween

Spoiler (Show/Hide)

Sabrar would have to confirm but here's my analysis.

The SK wincon is:

"You win if you are the last player alive (or if nothing can prevent the same)."

Town wincon is:

"You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive."

If we end up with SK vs SK tonight:

Both kill: they both die, neither is the last player alive, NOBODY WINS
1 abstains from killing: the living SK wins, obv
2 abstain from killing: new Day, can't vote each other out, can NL by voting for each other and both abstain from killing in the night - this therefore causes infinite loop and they all live happily ever after (I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN SO BAD, but it's prisoners dilemma)

i will do flavour for the game end post, even if it takes a week after the game ending is officially posted.

Good decision. I'm glad you have good boundaries.

Here's betting everything on the long shot that LG actually protected my N2 instead of "no one" and was just saying no one to fool scum.

Or hope B, that LG is spooked by my story of a strongman power. Which is the only way oops all doctors is balanced with a single SK, is if it's a strongman SK.

Also, I'm hoping that since he distrusts me he's reluctant to follow my plan and instinctively wants to do something else.

Oops, I forgot that I could also win if we no lynch and Vic decides to eliminate LG for whatever reason. But I just confirmed to him that my claim is false. Oh well... hope C is dashed before it was realized.

I felt like a genius when I was like "oh god I dont have the time or mental energy to write flavour, i can't call night, oh god everyone will be so mad" and then realised "WAIT I DON"T HAVE TO POST FLAVOUR I CAN JUST POST THE NAME AND THE FLIP", it changed my life.

I come up with a motto each November for use the following year and it's happened mostly organically since I started in 2019 and the motto for 2022 is going to be "don't do so much, take it easy, you don't have to be perfect for crying out loud".

(2019: no fucks given / 2020: living my best life (yes my 2020 was different) / 2021: i'm not the main character)

I have managed to get each one on an enamel pin so I'll officially word it based on what's available in enamel pins these days. (The "I'm not the main character" one I got custom made from etsy.)

I miss playing mafia because instead of making a useful post I could be telling this in-thread, but here we go

Also isn't it weird to have a non-spoiled conversation in the discussion thread?

Halloween

This will be the funniest shit ever if both SK's think that Vicarin is the other one and double-kill him N3 resulting in a draw...

Hallowe'en

Spoiler (Show/Hide)

So... if my understanding is correct, Boom is definitely the other SK. Vic's story checks out as having blocked a kill on Boom N1. It's also possible that I may have bulletproof from Vic? Interesting if true. Curious why Boom claimed he targeted bessie. I guess he needs to get an elimination today so needs to convince someone that it is a 1 SK world.

This has been one of my favorite games ever. I'm guessing no one will win

I'll take that. Worst I can do is a draw.

Thanks for playing everyone! I will post end-game flavour in about a week so subscribe to the thread if you want to see what happens to the tweens in their DnD game in The Upside Down.

ha this would have been interesting to see

I kinda want to play mafia...

me too. . or mod!

i'm sorry i never did that flavour. that was a hectic couple of weeks for me and i never got around to it and i'm sorry

Yeah. I actually thought of running a game sometime just because it's been a while since we had one.

Ok that's three of us so far. Anyone else want to play?

Thanks, but I'd like to pick/come up with the setup on my own, seems like that's half the fun when it comes to modding. I'll just play this time

i'm so excited to play again! i feel bad though because i'm going to ruin it for everyone by coming across as super scummy lol because it's my meta

gotta keep bessie around for my meta defense though the problem is she'll totally out me as scum

because yeah i'm scum. milleriser. lucky me. i need to work out the best way to do this. i'm targeting fred D1 as i suspect he'll not be killed D1/N1

currently we're on 2/9... let's get it going

i can win with the hitman alive but not with the godfather alive, btw. so i will be scumhunting, which i'm notoriously bad at fml

Curse you Seven for giving me scum, didn't need the stress of it in my life.

Not going to read spoilers because I will try to make myself available if a sub is required.

Current impressions:
I read bessie's first post and my immediate reaction was that she is scum. I have no idea why I believe that.

EGW vibe is off to me. Not putting a lot of stock in that since I haven't played with him in a long time and he hasn't played in a long time.

Fred is newbie, not mafia. Could be miller.

Can't remember if I've played with Court before. Their avatar looks vaguely familiar.

Sabrar is Town.

Madge is giving reads? Uh... Hmm.

Heury looks okay to me, which is unusual for him.

somi is null.
