No one is in the graveyard yet, and no one will be for a while.

My biggest worry right now is that one of the mafia will get conscripted, and that mafia will get steamrolled, ending the game quickly.

I somewhat regret my decision to give the mafia the win conditions that I did.

I expect the start of game will focus on the biting factions. The discovery of zombies will be interesting.

I kind of wish day 0 was a little shorter. Then again, giving people time to plan kills is good.

List of ways for game to end:
One survivor (very unlikely)
All of a mafia is dead at the end of the day, and at least one opposing mafia is alive (most likely)
Illuminati elected village idiot (unlikely to happen randomly)
Everyone in the town is part of the cult (possible collaborative end)
Everyone in the town is a zombie (should become a threat)

Goals organized by chance of success:

West Side Mafia (41%)
East Side Mafia (40%)
Cult (35%)
Chinese spies (31%)
Russian spies (30%)
Werewolves (26%)
Vampires (25%)
Zombies (20%)
Illuminati (10%)
"Sole Suvivor" (Austin Fathman) (1%)

Rogues are special, since their easier victory condition is likely to be replaced by a more difficulty mafia victory condition.

Holy crap, the Chinese spies have the list of Russian spies already. Wow. Let's see what they do with it.

If the East Side Mafia conscripts oreo, they'll be very sad, because she is an Illuminati and can't have her goals changed.

Lucy proceeds to omit one of the items she has in the group reveal. If they figure out that they should have a brainwasher and two blackmails, she could be in trouble (it'd be down to her or jessk).

Amusingly, jessk happens to have a very powerful item that could be mistaken for one of their tools. Thematically it would be odd for it to come from the Russian government, though.

Vampire-East Side Mafia-Cult alliance? It is compatible.

Whatever, everything will go crazy when zombies come around.

I was afraid that I hadn't given the Illuminati enough cookies, but now that oreo's conscripted, that will help them. The one power the Illuminati have is that they're always loyal to the Illuminati. It's amusing that they distrust each other more than almost any other group, despite being the only one that is definitely loyal and will stay that way.

Ah crap. The mafia's plan to kill tsims reminded me to check that he would know he was immune, and I realized I messed up and forgot to tell him exactly how OP his item is. (It's pretty OP).

All the wrong people are dying :(. Why are werewolves and vampires dying? It makes me sad.

Woohoo! First zombie is ajliu.

Russian spies lose a blackmail. They're not in great shape. They need ksedlar to carry them.

If everyone doesn't vote on day 1, everyone will be executed, all of the humans will come back as zombies, and the game will end with a zombie win.

Austin Fathman will lose since he would still have the ring overwrite his VC again. Also, the Illuminati would all lose.

Ohhh. I thought the text meant that exactly 3 of us would have items, period. I guess the normal items were randomly distributed and the Russians just happened to get all the good ones :P

Hmm, so the Chinese technically had possession of three blackmails after brainwashing anpere. Nice. It's nice that we managed to brainwash anpere before he could discover/leak that there was a threat of brainwashing.

I hope the Chinese don't do something rash and tell dgrazian to kill Lucy... that would be sad. Jessk thinks ksedlar is the double though, so hopefully this causes the Russians to misjudge some things and make bad plays.

lol, now 2 werewolves are converted to vampires.

I think they screwed up by not trying to make at least 1 or 2 additional werewolves.

Post subject:  Re: aok's thoughts on game

How it might work:
lzahray kills Miles. Finds a Fake ID (but no money)
jessk resurrects him.
lzahray kills jessk. Finds a magic stone. jessk comes back as a zombie.

Woo! Illuminati oreo finds out about the magic stone.

Amusingly, it looks like East Side Mafia-Russian Spies vs West Side Mafia-Chinese Spies.

Post subject:  Re: aok's thoughts on game

West Side Mafia conscripted kmath.

Soon, the East Side Mafia will be slaughtered.

I predict:
West Side Mafia win (East Side loses)
Chinese Spies win (They kill anpere by day end on the crucial day, Russian Spies lose)
Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies all lose (not enough time)
Cult loses (not enough time)
Illuminati loses (not enough time)
lzahray/AustinFathman loses (couldn't keep the game going long enough).

Ksedlar seems to be running this game. I feel like the Chinese will lose pretty quickly at this point. They just don't have their shit together and don't have any killing power.

"I think our four OG vampires are Lucy, ksedlar, ltchin, and Sammy. "
0 for 4, but nice try.

Wait, do zombies really not die to a bang, or is the mafia making shit up about having to kaboom them?

Author:  aok [ Mon Nov 09, 2015 7:21 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: aok's thoughts on game

No one has tried killing a zombie with bang.

We kinda got rekt by the deaths of mgavrin and asjm pretty quickly. I'm glad that my cloak was useful, but I'm upset that everyone still decided to execute me anyway :'(

My cloak was pretty sweet. Was it one of the hallows? Also, who got it after I was executed? Werewolves can maybe still win if fjmaluf7 and pravinas get killed....maybe....

Post subject:  Re: aok's thoughts on game

kmath got the magic cloak.

dylan is the #1 target of the vampires, but only the illuminati are targetting either vampire (fmajluf7)

How did they figure out who he is? Also, is there a full list of roles?

I convinced Dylan to spill me everything by claiming I'm a Russian spy.

He's a (former) werewolf. It turns out that none of the werewolves ever bit anybody because they didn't have to, and by biting him, he has no chance to win unless everybody dies. The werewolf role was significantly underpowered compared to the vampire role, and it would make them have to perform a kill sometimes, which their playstyle was probably a bit to conservative for.

Also, mgavrin and kmli were (probably) natural born vampires, and they're dead. I need to somehow get Dylan dead or find out the other living werewolf from him, and then we're almost all set!
