==Before the game==Before starting the game, I was thinking about the game's balance; how many mafia and how many police should there be?
With 2 mafia and 6 townies, and most of you playing this for the first time, I thought you people would be kind of helpless unless I gave you 2 cops.
I was wrong. Very wrong.
==Night 0==Right from night 0, the best possible thing for the townies happened: Laserrobotics investigates BigMike, the other cop. From the very first moment, the cops could work together.
Night 0:
laserrobotics investigates BigMike (cop)
BigMike investigates Kinema (vanilla townie)
==Day 1==Day 1 was a random lynch. And for some reason, you lucky people immediately got a mafia, Xeneonic. Two cops working together and one mafia left, while all townies were still alive.
Day 1: Xeneonic is lynched by the townies:
Xeneonic: 5 (Kinema, Cody900, BigMike, Lethargy, laserrobotics)
Cody900: 1 (Xeneonic)
BigMike: 1 (ViRUS)
Abstain: 1 (Lo/Rez)
==Night 1==During the day, the mafia were discussing who to kill (yeah, it was that soon). With the decision being made at day (Cody900), during the night round I only had to wait for the cops.
And boy, did they screw that night up.
Not having received a reply from BigMike, laserrobotics investigated Kinema - the townie that BigMike found to be innocent during night 0. What's worse, BigMike decided to investigate laserrobotics, making the decision before reading his PMs. Since I didn't have to wait for the mafia, I sent out the replies to probably the most worthless investigation in the history of mafia. As BigMike remarked, that was a waste of an investigation.
Night 1:
Mafia kills Cody900
laserrobotics investigates Kinema (vanilla townie)
BigMike investigates laserrobotics (cop)
==Day 2==Day 2 was just a waste of time. Nothing really important was said, and nobody was lynched.
Day 2: Nobody is lynched.
Lethargy: 3 (BigMike, laserrobotics, Kinema)
BigMike: 2 (Lethargy, Lo/Rez)
Abstain: 1 (ViRUS)
==Night 2==That meant that during night 2, the cops would be able to investigate again. Let's summarize the list of players left:
1. Kinema (innocent)
2. Xeneonic (dead)
3. BigMike (cop)
4. Lo/Rez (unknown)
5. ViRUS (unknown)
6. Cody900 (dead)
7. laserrobotics (cop)
8. Lethargy (unknown)
Three suspects. Two investigations. If a guilty result comes up, that person is mafia. If no guilty result comes up, the uninvestigated person is the mafia.
...that is, unless one of the two cops would die that night. Unfortunately, Lo/Rez was inactive and didn't send me a PM with the victim's name AT ALL. Nobody was killed.
Night 2:
BigMike investigates Lethargy (vanilla townie)
laserrobotics investigates ViRUS (vanilla townie)
Mafia does not kill anybody
==Day 3==a) The mafia is inactive (ViRUS or Lo/Rez)
b) Investigations point to Lo/Rez
Cops point fingers, rest joins (because it's either him or ViRUS), and Lo/Rez is lynched.
What was kind of remarkable, though, is that the cops didn't tell the other townies they were cops. Maybe it's just me, but I think it would've helped to convince the other townies. They wouldn't risk death anymore, since the mafia would be lynched at the end of the day. Even if they don't believe them and lynch one of them, their role as cop would be revealed, and the townies would realize they were right. Mafia kills another player, then there's 3 townies and 1 mafia left on day 4. Oh well.
Day 3: Lo/Rez is lynched by the townies:
Lo/Rez: 4 (laserrobotics, Lethargy BigMike, ViRUS)
BigMike: 2 (Lo/Rez, Kinema)
==Other interesting stuff==*Only one of the townies died. It took 3 days for the townies to lynch all mafia. I think you could say the mafia simply got owned here.
*After the mafia forum game was started, people started talking about it on IRC. A lot. The word 'mafia' become one of the most used words there, in the end placing 8th, being used 105 times before the game ended.
*Also on IRC, the mafia thread became the most linked to URL. The first page was linked to a total of 7 times.
*I wrote the intro and role PMs, made the character designs and drew the 'VDZ's death' picture as players were joining the game and while waiting for that night's PMs.
*Lethargy's character design was originally meant for Pwntastic. However, Pwntastic decided not to play, and since it was such a generic character design, I just used that character to portray Lethargy instead.
*At first, I tried to make BigMike have a big body. However, with stick figures that just doesn't work, so I settled with a big head instead.
*Lo/Rez's character was inspired by that weird guy in his forum avatar.
*Knowing Cody900 a bit, I drew him as a freaky evil guy. If you look closely, you'll see he even has red eyes.
*Laserrobotic's character was simply an intentionally sloppy redrawing of his forum avatar.
*Roles were decided using a TI-83 (a graphing calculator). Every player was assigned a number based on the order they joined. Then I used the RandInt function to get four numbers between 1 and 8; first two became mafia, last two became cops.
*The rule explanations were almost directly copied from
a mafia game I hosted on another forum.
*The mayor-pinned-to-the-door-with-a-mafia-note idea was also re-used from that mafia game.
*Before the mafia game started, I had 1 PM in my inbox. I now have 21.
*Cody900's death was inspired by
an internet meme.
*On day 1, Lo/Rez was able to prevent Xeneonic's death. He was the only one who still had to vote when laserrobotics changed his vote. If Lo/Rez had voted in time, voting would end and Xeneonic wouldn't have had enough votes to be lynched.
*Lavos was the first to complain about inactivity. April 28th (during night 0): [23:21] <Lavos^> Such inactive players.
==Quotes==*(before the game started) [20:31] <Xeneonic> I wanna be a Townie bitch
[20:31] <Xeneonic> or a cop
* [20:33] <Xeneonic> fuck it
[20:33] <Xeneonic> I want everyone to be lynched
*"Since when am I innocent, pffft." --Cody900, response to role PM
*[22:32] <Lavos^> Are you a mafia Laserrobotics?
[22:32] <Laserrobotics> no, i'm a ninja
*(14:35:47) (Xeneonic) Kinema; WTF did you say you're a cop?!?
(14:35:56) (Kinema) no?
*[14:07] <Lavos^> Bloody inactives.
[14:07] <Lavos^> Should be on 20 hours a day, lamers.
*"So you picked to hang a person just because he already had most votes?" --Xeneonic
*"The wisdom of democracy at work
" --Lethargy, in response to Xeneonic
*"Look, Lavos thinks laserrobotics is mafia, yet he decides to pick me to lynch and obviously Kinema follows him, so if that keeps up, if Lavos and Kinema are the first two to vote all the time then only the defender will pick someone else. So then it's 2 - 1 and seeing as you guys and gals only seem to be voting for the mayority, Lavos and Kinema will have you all hanged by the end of day 8." --Xeneonic proving two people to be innocent before being lynched...smart move, Xen.
*"I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I FUCKING KNEW IT." --Cody900, after it is revealed that Xeneonic was mafia
*"with Xeneonic dead, NOW I AM THE CLASSIEST" --Lethargy
*[17:01] <Xeneonic> I mean, the cops don't know eachother
[17:01] <Xeneonic> unless they investigate eachother
*[16:39] * bigmike has joined #audiosurf
[16:40] <Kinema> bigmike
[16:40] <Kinema> are you mafia
[16:41] <bigmike> why the hell would you ask me in here.
[16:41] <Kinema> so i can kill you?
*"You can all go fuck yourself." --Lo/Rez
*[13:23] <VDZ> Time to lynch Lo/Rez ^_^
[13:26] <Kinema> he isnt mafia tho
[13:26] <Kinema> lol
[13:26] <Kinema> people need to LISTEN TO MEE
And that's the game. Unforunately, it was very inactive, and the townies totally owned the mafia, but besides that it was fun.
Let's play a second game. Is anybody interested in hosting it? If not, I can host it again, but I'd rather be a player this time ^_^
