Really rather annoyed by that ending, as we were doomed from the moment that Gaston crapped up.

It doesn't help that the rabbit led out with the scummiest LYLO attack ever (and if he hadn't been all 'trust me for one more day' I might have actually thought about why it had to be LYLO), but the game was already over then by rights of his instant voting and disappearance.

I'll take the consolation prize of doing about as well as possible given those limits.

[Tanaka]

Beatrice for Town MVP. Well PLANNED.

It's worth noting that I was seriously worried you'd target me - rightfully so, apparently! - to the extent that I figured "It's not necessary to save myself!" (It was the fact that I was mildly low-profile, yet you completely skimmed over me - no comments whatsoever, which seemed really odd to me. I also thought, of course, that you had a power role. ;o)
I seriously considered saving myself, though, and.. apparently that was the right choice too. NOT AS PLANNED, etc, etc.

[Carthrat]

I'm surprised you didn't save yourself basically every day. o-O

[Tanaka]

Seeing as Joker was (according to my sources) a Rolecop, that may have been a bad plan. If any of Cop/Rolecop targeted me, I was doomed, and I figured at least one would (correctly! Yay!)
It was a good role to survive with, actually. I just had to try to choose when to save myself and when to block others. I should have realised the Jailer claim was problematic to the Mafia on both sides of the coin, and known I was doomed to die.

Edit: And now I read the role PM and see that he could be a rolecop, he just wasn't when it came to targeting me. Still, the thought was there.

[Bill Hellsnake]

Beatrice had you pegged as a likely top power role, George, so didn't want to draw attention in your direction. Kanon was also really starting to get under her skin at about that point (on that note, I'm really surprised you caved in quite so badly the instant I put pressure on you, Alex). Also, as was mentioned at the time, I think if that bastard Goldsmith hadn't tied her up that night then you would have saved yourself, just to make the choices sting that bit more.

And damn, so close to getting the linchpin to the whole thing lynched day one. Gaap or Edna not swapping would have been good enough.

Kanon! You think yourself some sort of Super Paper?

And trust Lady Lambdadelta to team up with Lady Bernkastel to kill Beatrice on the fifth iteration. She says she's here to help Beatrice so that she can defeat Bernkastel at any cost, but then the two of them still seem to have tea parties and sleepovers despite supposedly being the worst of enemies.



Oh, and yeah, the same could be said for any game of mafia, but my first goal for this game was to just to have a lot of fun, far more than winning, so went full on with the role-playing side. I can't say that I'm not disappointed with an ending that was out of my hands and a bit of an anti-climax  - at one brief point during the fourth twilight, I completely lost my nerve, thought that maybe Kanon was telling the truth and that it was a Gaap / Siesta 1073741824 team remaining with Gaap as godmother, made some paranoid rant to the game master (as I did during most twilights), and then envisioned an epic showdown whereby I had to make some very precise arguments to make sure that everything went well, zombie voting was going to save the day and I'd end up as the only piece left alive, winning it for town... but then realised that no, Kanon was still most likely lying, and was still correct to have the Black Rose kill him regardless as it was effectively a bonus lynch that we wouldn't have got otherwise - BUT

BUT
BUT... I had a fantastically fun time nonetheless. I think it's almost certainly the most fun game I've played on the fragment that is the DL.

[Tanaka]

As much as I shouted in RAGE when my informant told me who the third Mafia member was, I still had a lot of fun both playing and reading through this game. When I saw my role, I (well, firstly asked a lot of questions on the specifics, but THEN) laughed hysterically and thanked Moderator-san. The role PM was hilarious, and having a creative role was fun; considering I've played about 15 Mafia games now, and only had roles in 3 of them - 1 of which I had to drop out of - I was really happy to get an interesting role!

Beatrice, Joker and, to an extent, Warboss. Congratulations on the roleplay. You three stood out to me as the best here, although I can safely say that everybody was damn good.
Oh, and sorry for picking on the roleplay to build a case on you, Rat. ;)

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

This game was a blast to play and read (kudos to Beatrice both for being town MVP and making those posts such a joy to read through. Dr. Wily also gets props). Sorry about being such a bad townie, guys. The role madness sorta grabbed me by the legs to boot. Still, this was probably the most fun I've had in a Mafia game.

[EvilTom]

I had fun
My condolences to Ciato ^^;

[Tohsaka Rin]

* Jo'ou Ranbu thwaps Wily.

[Chad Hutchins]

Apologies? That was the funnest game of Mafia I've ever played. I think the surefire approach of enjoying myself instead of trying to find scum worked BRILLIANTLY. For my sanity, not the other players. I knew Rat was third-party the entire game and didn't really feel the need to share this information with anyone since I wanted at least someone in the masons to win.

It was role madness, what do you guys expect. >_> I thought believing all the masons were town was a retardedly bad assumption but I felt no pressing need to argue for it because people seemed to be being really stupid about the entire thing anyway.

[EvilTom]

Vegeta - Meeple

What :\
I thought I was blatantly obvious.
And Meeple?

Kudos to Ciato
Enjoyment = #1

[Margaret Houlihan]

Yeah, sorry for playing badly, first time with a role not named vanilla townie, so I wasn't entirely sure how to go about playing it.  I pretty much thought to myself that I was screwed when I found out I was marked for death, and the person I inspected got killed the same night.  Apologies for the apathy on day three, everyone had convinced me that there wasn't an argument I could make to dig myself out of that, so I just kind of let things happen.

Hopefully I've learned some things about playing power roles though <.<.

[Luther Lansfeld]

Bwahahahaaa.

Oh, I have a couple of complaints about the game:

Delayed nightvig is really really bad. It basically ensured that I would never actually get into the game; one day of being busy with GETTING MY PHD. PROJECT on Day 1 and I was already out but not really out of the game. If you insist on having someone die via vig Night 1, at least just put them out of their bloody misery.

I was given basically the worst role in the game, objectively. No powers, completely screwed over by a setup that I inherently distrusted the masons. It was like a ----- power role. Role madness sucks.

[Magetastic]

Didn't really enjoy the last two days. that was a really silly thing to do (have a scum be in two chats and actually on a team with town, as well as having the Xanatos Gambler be town with the Xanatos Joker).

[Luther Lansfeld]

I have no real problem with the roles in the game, I feel like the setup was decently balanced and adequately served to trick town , which is the goal of role madness.

[Luther Lansfeld]

Oh, and Dr. Wily is MVP!

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

* Jo'ou Ranbu gnaws on Ciato.

[Bardiche]

Beatrice was amazingly fun to read. Doesn't help I'm an Umineko fan so I was rooting for Beatrice the entire time.

Good show everyone. That's the funnest Mafia game I've ever read.

[Excal]

Mage, the point of Role Madness is not to have the roles replace the actual playing.

Ciato, yeah, sorry for what happened to you.  Unfortunatly, there's not a whole lot I can get from your comments since some roles in role madness have to suck, and...  an informal poll I did after your mid-game comments show that most people actually prefer getting slow killed over the standard night kill.

Anyways, glad to hear that people had a blast, since that, first and foremost, is what I was aiming for.


Also, since people are asking, and I'm too busy to actually do stats for guesses and what not, the cast of this fine play.

I thought believing all the masons were town was a retardedly bad assumption but I felt no pressing need to argue for it because people seemed to be being really stupid about the entire thing anyway.

I asked, it was answered. I'm not going to hold it against you in the face of fun, but that was an active decision to choose town to lose. As soon as you were NKed and flipped town there was no reason to distrust you at all.


Siesta 1073741824! While I'm being mean, you really truly deserve the Gouda's Tiny Food Bombs award for dedication to the pursuit of logic harmful to all mankind. If Ciato's apathy towards town was most of the nails in town's coffin, you were the one trying to hammer them in with a banana. At least freeze the banana first next time! Ihihi!

Enjoy:

[Kilgamayan]

It's hilarious that all that kerfuffle about player meta on Day 2 ended up being wrong, as I was convinced Gendo was Xanth.

Apologies for lack of real roleplay, I am ass at RPing in general.

Also blame Excal for not letting me write-in Joe Buck. :(
