I'm saying qoco couldn't have been it cause I already said that I have the same ability a bit different of what you're thinking but two of the similiar can't exist
Gwendolly said: Kay change of plans; this is progressing very slowly so I'm going all or nothing
This is probably lylo for me so if there's any other evil tpr out there besides ryuu join me and win this together.
So I'm gonna properly claim. I am mafia and the only mafia. Have been going solo from the very start. Didn't lie about my two abilities and arcana tho. Which probably also means logics alignment checks were right of 4 evil players on the train. Calling abu and labs out.
If no one is able to side with me lynch me if you dare but there's probably another killing tpr out there since I believe my passive wouldn't just be for Shinichis ability lol (it's probably Abu) If Labs 2nd ability still works then it could make sense him being the only survivor. So I may already have 2 extra votes on me too.
Have to work all day today so gonna give you the whole day to think about it
Hah, I knew your alignment was evil, with a flavour like that, there was no way you could have been good.
AbuHumaid said: I think this setup has 3 good TPR, 3 evil TPR, one neutral TPR, one mafia and the rest are town.
Neutral TPR: Shinichi
Good TPR: Abu, yurkin and Labs
Evil TPR: Ryuu, Qoco and unknown (I believe the unknown is already dead)
Mafia: Gwen
Town: logic, Suzune, RE, Soda, Astros (one of these players must be evil TPR)
If one of them was evil tpr, I'm guessing the Hanged Man, if Jester is not evil, possibly Magician too.
AbuHumaid said: Soda is more likely to have been evil TPR though, Suzune should be town after all, I can't see that skipping night ability coming from an anti town role.
AbuHumaid said: be assured that me and Labs are good TPR since Gwen the mafia is desperate targeting us and is trying to stir confusion. If she's really trying to help then why doesn't she tell us why wasn't there night kills?
It is possible for one of you to be evil tpr, since I'm certain the mafia has no way of knowing the good tprs from the bad.

That's why I'm asking WHY DID YOU VOTE FOR ME if you knew it -.- If Labs has the same win condition then we got this if not then r.i.p mafia but still curious how the game will end without mafia; there's no way someone can stand alone in the end through lynching. Unless they vote for themselves but why would they do that?

More likely possible that one of them have their own elimination goal

Reason I voted you: after I outed myself I was convinced that mafia had lost, since there seemed to be very little evil aligneds. So I thought to just evil hunt, if i hunted for the good ones, it can't really be called hunting, when there are so many good aligneds.

According to your logic you thought I was good then
I won't get hurt much from it, game terms hurt i mean, so go on.
Switch votes, ok.
This won't end bad for me, even if it looks like it in the beginning. Its me worrying over not fatal event, that will end up turning into something good.
Being predicted from the start lmao.

But man is this exciting! This is so active; the battles right now are so intense you can't slip a word in! Never seen such thrilling finals! It's so exciting, everyone is fighting with their last will. I wonder who will win? You can't really tell because everyone is just attacking eachother *snore* Sorry fell asleep from overexcitement. So epic!
You people are so boring lol who ever wins this is booooooooring!! .-. Before I go I actually had a complete different 2nd ability (which you'll see after the game), so if someone actually dies during the night after me don't blame it on some vengeful shit.
Good luck surviving.
Still in edge about this though I've been keen to vote here for essentially the whole game.
Hopefully not a massive throw, but oh well don't deserve a win anyways.
Mmmmm as sad as it is to say, frustrating wouldn't be a top pick.... it just got boring once the numbers became obvious for the most part.
Lack of kills resolving also made it worse.
I'll probably get into this a bit more when not on phone

and I'm just a lowly spectator
gawd I wanna strangle u or smthing
and this..is Mish for u he's that irritating sensei lol
I will never ever join a game u host unless convinced otherwise..
it was catchy at first.. but hah luckily I wasn't tricked (where's the treat? xD)
on the bright side, u would make a great host for April Fools. I will sign up for spectator then lol. but no Xmas hosting =.= //rants
I didn't try anything. I spent a good twenty hours getting to the end, even though I didn't know trigonometry, only for my lack of awareness and sleep to get the better of me.

Flavor
(Including unused) (Some were slightly edited and different than as shown here at the time of posting during the game)
You've got to thank CorruptedPurity for those! <3
Full Speed Ahead: This ability activates once a Day phase ends if The Chariot has sent their PM during that same Day phase. For instance, if used on Day 2, Night 2 will be skipped and Day 3 will start with a length of the intended 48h. This flavor text would be, in this exemplary case, posted in the Night 2 phase change post.
As the sun has set on the Crooked Creek, the town watched it sink down the horizon, contemplating over their last lynch. When all of a sudden, they felt a warm and bright presence from the other side of the valley. The bright yellow circle was rising once again, and in front of it was the shadow of the chariot. Its wheels were spinning faster than time itself as the sun followed in its wake. The chariot rode down into Crooked creek, twirling the sands of time as he did. This happened within a second but the mesmerizing event felt like hours for the villagers. The sun was back up in the sky, soaring like it once did many hours ago with only the chariot to thank.
Day X has ended. Night X has ended. No one has died. Day X+1 has started...
Harmless: This is posted in the Day 1 game starting post.
What a gentle man who lay on the crooked land.
Of everything that was crooked, he was the most crooked, for he was not crooked at all.
Ignorance is a bliss indeed as this man was unaware of the harsh realities of life.
Is there truly anything more cruel than the truth?
Oblivious to the evil around him is as much a blessing as a curse as the crooked people know especially of those who are not.
They know for sure that [Player Name], was but a harmless and Innocent Townie
Out of the Game: This is posted in the Night phase change post after the Day the Fool gets lynched.
A fool he is and a fool indeed.
What man laughs at the face of death?
But he is no man, for he was crooked beyond words.
It is he who has the last laugh, for he found the sweet,
Sweet release of death in this crooked world.
Is there truly anything more blissful than the truth?
Well, his journey ends here but a fool he was not;
If anything, he made a fool out of you. [Player Name] has won the game.
But the crookedness continues...
Holy Strike: This is posted in the Day phase change post after the High Priestess chooses a player during Night. A Vote Count post needs to be posted afterwards.
Temperance says: I hear the pitiful lambs crying for our help. We must save these lost sheep from the lurking grasps of evil.
Call and I shall answer, summon me and I shall obey your commands.
Vote: [Player Name]
The World says: Wise choice, mortal! The wrath of hell shall stand on your command, at the cost of your soul of course...
A contract in blood indeed, let us commence the overturn!
Vote: [Player Name]
Authority and Firmness This is posted on the Night phase change post if the Emperor was voting for the lynched player and cause his death over another player.
The people have decided: [Player Name] was to be persecuted for his crimes against the land. Anger filled their eyes as they berated him with their foul language, calling for his death.
"Silence!" A voiced echoed against the valley, a voice that sounds like it could come from the mountains itself. "I shall have the final word!"
Thud! A cane could be heard slamming on the concrete pavement. If they didn't know better, they could have sworn that the pavement would crack. Guards started rushing in and ushering [Planer Name] out only to be replaced with a terrified looking [Player Name].
The Final Say: This is posted in the Day phase change post if, during the previous Night, Justice used The Final Say.
Theft... Rape... Murder...
These disgust Justice like no other. The fact that filthy scum could stay on her streets and live normal lives like her, even though they are nothing more than dirty criminals. Yes, in fact, disgust is not enough to justify the emotion that is swirling through her mind.
"No more..." She whispered as she saw a sword waiting to sweep down onto its terrified victim. She could hear the innocent person's plea for help, the guttural and sad sound as he is crying for his life.
"I SAID NO MORE!" And with that, the sword vanished. Her rage swooped the village, her aura stopping all crimes from happening. This was her Final Say.
Sacrifice: This is posted in the Night phase change post if during the previous day, the hanged man was lynched due to tied votes.
Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die. Yet life is meaningless without death, as it is the sweet promise of a bitter end that trickles life with purpose. [Player Name] understood this better than anyone else: if it is destiny for him to die, then who is he to deny destiny? He is fated to take the burden of the land, and when no one else is brave enough to face the noose, it is none other than he who shall hang freely from it as nature intends. Death is but a phase and the noose but a passageway. He is all too familiar with the feeling of suffocation, the feeling of coarse fiber tightening around his neck and the way blood rushes to his head. The people couldn't come to a decision so a decision was made for them. Such is the fate of the hanged man.
Aren't you all ashamed of yourselves? [Player Name] died for your sins, you know?
Village Idiot: This is posted in the Night phase change post if during the previous day, the hanged man was lynched through normal means.
It has been decided: [Player Name] is the crooked man who betrayed his crooked friends. Or is he? Matter does it? It does not, for the words of a suspected man are no different from the words of a guilty man. However, our man today never once pleaded a word of sadness, or anger, or misery. Even for the crooked, this lack of fear for death itself is one of which is not spoken of. Matter does it not, for the noose still calls for his neck.
In one swift motion, [Player Name] was left hanging, his eyes popping, his limbs flailing. Slowly, the struggle subsided as life was drained from his body. But... just as he stopped moving, he started moving again! A crooked smile spread across his crooked face. Like a snake through a hole, he slipped out of the noose and landed on his feet, both hands wide apart, expecting applause.
[Player Name] lives for today. However, the village, wary of this sturdy man, shall never consider his vote again...
Spreading Evil: This is posted in the Day phase change post if during the previous night, Death converted a player into a mafia member.
Malice is not a concept new to the crooked people. Deep down, everyone has an insatiable demon that is waiting to be released onto the world, and just like gravity, all that inside demon needs is a little push. A dark shroud seeps through the night, engulfing any fool who dared to step on the streets during these dire times. Many would have been killed by this maddening poison, but once in a blue moon, one finds his inner demon awoken. Lust, gluttony, envy, pride, sloth, wrath, greed. The sins of mankind could not be held back anymore. On this night, be glad you do not look outside to the bloody streets, for you will be struck in horror at the gruesome exchange.
Shoutouts to @CorruptedPurity for being a slick hosting partner. That was some good idea-sharing and I hope we'll come up with something more captivating if we're to ever work together again <3
Props to @Zymf for verifying this mess, lol.
Disappointing moments of the game: when Astros was almost lynched as The Hanged Man but you all decided to off RE instead. Then Astros was killed by the mafia.
When Soda was killed from a 1/6 chance (okay, that might've been satisfying, actually)
When Gwendolly converted an Evil TPR.
When you all lynched Qoco instead of Ryuuseino (which would have given yurkin a win). Can I remind you that Ryuu claimed Evil TPR and said something along the lines of " "I tried catching scum because I figured my low experience would make me subconsciously catch town instead"?
Satisfying moments of the game: everything else, basically? The spectator chat was also surprisingly active. I'm so sorry for logic340 and RE who had to pretty much scumhunt by themselves. But the original plan was to make every TPR neutral. Good thing we changed that, it made the experience more mafia-like even though it might have not looked like it. And sorry to Gwendolly who joined the mafia chat at the start of the game and was wondering when the heck her teammates would join. The RNG chose you as the unlucky loner and I had no idea this was your first time as mafia. RIP. You didn't do too bad though, in my opinion. Survived many days with an unfavorable cop check on you. Overall, I feel like the actions of the game could have been performed in a more interesting way, but this setup which was meant to confuse players won't work a second time. Speaking of actions...
Day 1:
Village lynches RE1031
Night 1:
Gwendolly (Mafia) kills Astros: success.
logic340 used Libro di Rivelazione on RE1031 - result: 4 (Suzune-chan, Ryuuseino, Sodalicious_, Gwendolly).
Shinichi-kun uses Rotolare la Ruota with the following configuration:
1. Sodalicious_
2. Labs
3. AbuHumaid
4. Gwendolly
5. Suzune-chan
It kills Sodalicious_ who had a 1/6 chance of dying.
Day 2:
Village lynches Shinichi-kun
Labs uses Santo Terra on AbuHumaid
Night 2:
Gwendolly (Mafia) uses Diffondere il Male on Suzune-chan: success: Suzune-chan is now a mafia member
logic340 uses Ultima Sentenza on Gwendolly - result: Mafia
Suzune-chan uses Incanto on Ryuuseino: Ryuuseino is now enchanted
Ryuuseino learns that he was visited by The Magician
AbuHumaid denies the invitation: Labs learns that AbuHumaid is The Tower
Day 3:
yurkin uses Avanti Tutta. The following phase will be a day phase.
Village lynches Suzune-chan
Day 4:
Village lynches Qoco: he meets his win condition
Night 4:
Gwendolly (Mafia) kills logic340: success
Day 5:
Village lynches Gwendolly
Night 5:
lmao
Day 6:
Village lynches Ryuuseino: game end
But, who won?
First of all, Qoco has obviously met his win condition.
Now, the wincons went as follows:
Town: eliminate all threats.
Mafia: reach a gamestate where you cannot all possibly be eliminated.
Third-party: (if applicable) hidden.
Most of the TPR's wincons required them to either be alive when their faction meets their wincon, OR be the last player alive. The former is statistically difficult, and the latter is hardly possible (the Wheel of Fortune is one role who could make the game end up with one player alive), but I had to include it in because I needed something to make the TPRs keep playing if a massclaim was to happen and the players figured out that there were no town/mafia left alive. "Be the last player alive" was probably not the optimal choice for this, but I also didn't want to write anything that would hint at the setup like "You can win by being alive with other good TPRs at the end" which is what actually happened here with yurkin, Labs and AbuHumaid. These three have technically not met their written wincon but it would feel extremely off and unfair to not give them the win along with Qoco. And I suppose with this, Astros, logic340 and RE1031 can also be awarded a winning mention, as Town+GoodTPR could be seen as one single faction and Mafia+EvilTPR as another.
For the record, the hardest part was designing a TPR-heavy setup that wouldn't get figured out so easily so as to create the impression of a mafia game environment filled with townies and the regular number of mafia members while still having Day discussion that seemed to be extremely neutral/lacking gamesolving (6 roles/12 were not scumhunting, except maybe the evil TPRs who'd want to identify who they should be winning with). We wanted it to be chaotic, after all, which also meant confusing the heck out of the mafia (in this case Gwendolly) just as much as the town (in this case RE and logic). The game turned out to work out well mechanically and the balance didn't seem off, but I can definitely tell that some players didn't have the greatest time ever. If improvements were to be made in the balance, some experimental scrutiny would be required, but a played game is a played game!
Qoco has won the game yurkin, Labs, AbuHumaid have won the game
Astros, logic340, RE1031 have won the game
Oh yeah, here's the album including all of the 22 cards, as a little bonus. We were actually quite annoyed because we wanted to get rid of those watermarks, and we almost literally bought a physical set to scan them, but figured it wouldn't be delivered before the game would start.
We concluded that giving credit to an artist is what good boys do anyway :3
