Game 8: Dead Thread

[Wassamattawityucca]

Hello and welcome to the first two dead! I hope your stay here in the Dead Thread is an enjoyable one!

[KanedaC]

Please don't tell me that Tilted, Jiroshi, and Rogue were ALL mafia. That would just kill me (hah).

I know at least one of them had to be. Imma say...Tilted.

[Wassamattawityucca]

2 out of 3? Aaand they were the ones you DIDN'T guess.

Tilted just got fucked over like you did.

[KanedaC]

Hahahaha WOW! They played me good. Convincing as fuck. Shoulda guessed it. They were a bit too in sync with each others actions.

[Wassamattawityucca]

Worst of all? Maka investigated Jiroshi - Medusa - so he's gonna appear innocent.

Did you get what happened? It was actually simple enough, now that I think about it.

[Gwenlover24942]

Hi! The night was pretty funny. Lots of complicated stuff and it ended with two deaths.

[KanedaC]

Yeah. Kishin used his/her power to block Tilted, making sure I wouldn't get it. Don't know how they got Zorfblack though, unless Soul killed him by accident.

[Wassamattawityucca]

Actually, what happened was that Jiro purposely had Tilted choose you, so that he could then switch the target from you to Julia. That Julia could use her Asura power to manipulate Call-Me-Pixie and Lady Luck, guessing that both were Soul (since they were the ones who haven't revealed yet). That allowed them to control Call-me-Pixie to kill you. The second kill was the normal mafia kill.

[KanedaC]

Ah. I see how it is now. I feel so embarrassed. They played me like a grade a sucker.

[Wassamattawityucca]

It's all good, man. Everyone claimed roles, so it was to be expected. PLUS you're a powerful player so it natural for them to want to kill you.

Actually, those two issues are the reason I'm testing out a real-time Mafia site that will let us play "anonymous" games, wherein we won't know who is playing which role or who each person is. Basically, the site will preassign certain personas to people at the start of the game and we will only be known by those identities the entire game. Then all roles are randomly given (by the site) to each of us.

This will help us avoid having the Mafia kill the same experienced players right at the start AND will allow me to play with all of you.

[KanedaC]

That would be awesome as fuck

[Wassamattawityucca]

Yup! The only concern is that everyone needs to be online at the same time for the game to start, BUT that means that we can have short games of 30 minutes to an hour.

At least, we will be able to play more games the entire summer.

[KanedaC]

I'm just sad. I wanted to play longer

[Wassamattawityucca]

There there, buddy. Next time, okay?

[KanedaC]

This one scares me

[Wassamattawityucca]

W-why is that smiley even here? Dude, the present smilies are fuckin' weird.

[KanedaC]

Nah, it's all good

[Wassamattawityucca]

Hahaha, I actually kind of like that one.

[KanedaC]

This is my favorite solely because I have no idea what it could be used for.

[KanedaC]

Hahaha god DAMN Jiro and Rogue are good at being mafia. They deserve Oscars for their performances as townies. 

But all this really does bring up a point. Inactivity HURTS these games. I wish there was something we could do about forcing people who sign up to play. Banning them like we did with Deathgod works, but in the end it doesn't change much since they weren't playing anyway. All it does is shrink our numbers. I wish there was a way to bring this to a wider audience.

[Wassamattawityucca]

That's why I'm hoping we can try the other website. When you play on there, we cannot start until the number of players needed for the game sign up AND since it's real-time everyone will be on at the same time.

As for bringing it to other people, the problem is not all of our friends like to play. If we bring others in, it's possible none of us will know them and I will have no way of controlling them if we don't like them.

[TiltedMiddleground]

...Are you fucking serious?

So, this whole thing was a facade. Rouge telling me to target Jiro, only for me to use faulty logic based on the notion that Rouge was Soul to show that Jiro wasn't Mafia. Jiro hyping me to all hell with morale support, only because I was doing exactly what they wanted. Rouge giving me advice on how to use the system he created. All a complicated facade, leading me to literally act on the Mafia's behalf, screw the Town over twice and win them the game?

I think I'm gonna just spectate on the next round.

Um....yes?

Also, please don't just spectate! We're trying a new game system, and we need all the people we can get!

[TiltedMiddleground]

...Well, damn. 

And I likely will participate next round. I just need some time for my ego to recover. This is gonna sting for a while.

[Jiroshi]

Haha damn we didn't even get to use our super awesome strategy of framing someone. We were gonna have lady investigate a townie and switch it to a mafia member besides me and frame them the kill a townie at night. This was in plan just in case Julia died lol
