Mafia XIX - This Game Ends With You - Endgame

[vampko]

Character switch, I hated that. More than anything I've encountered in a mafia game ever. Role switching itself wasn't the problem. I just had grown attached to my character and then you turned me into someone else.

But, it woudl have been a better idea to have separate roles that no one else had set up for that mechanic. It really did break the game.

@Jericho
It was to offer an unbiased perspective. Having Red herself doing it gives a chance of her giving the win to those whom she wants to win. Someone who isn't part of the game would have much less chance of that sort of thing. That's just the way I see it.

Maybe it's an issue of trust, and I don't have enough of it.
I probably wouldn't trust a third party to handle things in an unbiased way...

... there was more to it...
... a more basic level...
... but I'm tired.

[Ubiquitor]

Two day PRs does not warrant the inclusion of a day role-blocker. It's just my opinion, but even now it still makes absolutely no sense.

It is arguably weak, but "absolutely no sense" is a bit extreme.

Plus, you have to assume that the third party doesn't wish for one team to win over another.

What makes you think the third party has any notion associating answers to game players?

But, it woudl have been a better idea to have separate roles that no one else had set up for that mechanic. It really did break the game.

No one had the role that you gained, vampko.

@Mizu: What Ubi said + any PR type Specials that worked during daytime. :33

Mechanics

Spoiler:

- At the end of every day phase, there will be a riddle. Players can send in answers to this riddle, and the one with the best answer wins. If there is a tie, all tied win (but they won't be told this). Winners have their special effects activated.
Both third party players (due to difficulty of winning as third party) have two levels of specials (should they manage to actually activate their specials twice; if activated more than twice, the first effect will once again be their activated special from then on).

- If Megumi targets Joshua or Hanekoma, it will auto-fail. However, he will get to use his special next night.

- The SK may write the scene in which he kills someone (has to be approved). [didn't end up doing this one; there was already too much stuff to have to keep track of ~ ]

- In the event the Joshua player is killed, Minamimoto becomes GM, flavour-wise. This basically means the SK can write parts of scenes [nope, crossed that out too], and people will gain new roles.

Did I miss anything?
Also, I kept all the riddle answers, if people want to see. :33 They are really cool ~

*ninja'd a bunch of times, just in case anyone's addressed me

[vampko]

No one had the role that you gained, vampko.

It also would have been even more interesting if it was a big lie, but I guess Red's not to that level of evil yet.

[Empty Overture]

Oh look. There's the actions. Oh hey, I sent in No-Kills.

Proof that even though I may be a cut throat manipulative bastard, I'm trust worthy when I have team mates who I like.

[JerichoDeath]

What makes you think the third party has any notion associating answers to game players?

Doesn't matter.
Well, actually it is a little better that way, but it's still inherently faulty, given that people's writing styles tend to stay similar.
-but the problem is in leaving it up to some wildcard like that.
-also, the person's personal opinions on riddles and the like influence their opinions of the answers
-not to mention their opinions on the answers' each individual flavor; There was no restrictions on what could be entered. A statement, a poem, a joke, a whatever. How do you rank these things by a category of numbers?

Ooooh, a friend is here.
I gotta go for tonight.

[Redhorse]

It also would have been even more interesting if it was a big lie, but I guess Red's not to that level of evil yet.

Vampko, master of evil. May I become your apprentice perhaps?

@Jericho: Luke's sis was mostly just happy someone sent riddles in throughout the game's entirety, which is why she thought Claymore should win something. The fact that she laughed her ass off at each of his was just a bonus thing she wanted me to tell him just now. :33
I get what you mean 'bout the rest of it and stuffz though ~

But I'll admit, it fit Kariya's character, sine he never really did 'much' despite being one of the most powerful reapers.

Hey Mizu, you dropped a penny. ;33

[MizuMikomi]

Two day PRs does not warrant the inclusion of a day role-blocker. It's just my opinion, but even now it still makes absolutely no sense.

It is arguably weak, but "absolutely no sense" is a bit extreme.

Hmm, fair enough I suppose.

Hey Mizu, you dropped a penny. ;33

Huh..?

[Prinapocalypse]

but I guess Red's not to that level of evil yet.

Lies! All lies, I tell you!

Spoiler:

@Clay: You killed me? B-but I thought you loved me?!

Spoiler:

I was actually sort of glad, I got killed when I did, since I was extremely busy with work at the time.

[Redhorse]

*creeps up behind Procalypse, puts a cloth over his mouth, and drags him away* Shhhhhh.

Hey Mizu, you dropped a penny. ;33

Huh..?

You dropped the penny for everybody. It was a joke. ;33

[MizuMikomi]

*creeps up behind Procalypse, puts a cloth over his mouth, and drags him away* Shhhhhh.

Hey Mizu, you dropped a penny. ;33

Huh..?

You dropped the penny for everybody. It was a joke. ;33

Ah, that makes sense.

[Prinapocalypse]

*creeps up behind Procalypse, puts a cloth over his mouth, and drags him away* Shhhhhh.

*hopes the torture isn't too painful*

I liked the riddles. I just sadly kept either forgetting them or didn't get them in on time and then I ended up dying early. I never actually got to submit one on time. xD

[TheForeignGamer]

So claymore and SJX both killed me on the same day. Overkill much?

In any case, I will remember this.

Hehehehehehehehehe.........

*Vanishes*

[vampko]

I dunno if I can take an apprentice in, but you're more than welcome to study how I was in past games I hosted. It'll give you a sense of how I run things.

My own game is starting to come along now.
