Mafia School: The Witchbreed - The Conclusion

[def]

The Summoner stands outside the castle, contemplating his next course of action. "These pathetic rodents, they've killed my family!"

From over his shoulder, he hears a delighted singing:

Poundsie poundsie! Me'll makes the clergy into moundsies!

Knight is having none of it though. He turns to the skeletal man approaching him. "I have had enough of you. I will not be a victim of your poundings today!"

He grabs his jaw and yanks off his head to reveal a gruesome visage.

"WALLA WALLA BONGA!"

As he is about to pull the trigger on his laser-contraption, the clanking sound of stamping feet approach.

Sir Carrots leaped out, saving the Pounder's life. The ray pews off his shield, striking the green thing in the face.

In only a moment, the fate of the men standing there has truly changed.

Staring at the green globs on the ground, they count their lucky stars that things have resulted as they have.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Christos Knight was Scum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That next morning, Sir Carrots tells the tale to the boy king.

"And then the ray went pew!" Sir Carrot says, with a rush of joy. "There is only one of them left, if the puzzle is to be trusted."

The boy king is almost pleased. "Thank you, good Sir Carrots, you have done well. Now, please, step aside, there is at least one more life to take today."

Pirelly Dabito is escorted into the room.

"What have you to say, Dabito?"

Dabito is about to speak, "I~"

His head falls to the ground, revealing its true form.

"I didn't really care what he had to say, so why not just get it over with."

The boy king looks at the fourth and final Witchbreed, still, on the floor. "My people, you have done well. It seems you have rid my kingdom of these... things."

He turns to Wolverton.

"As the man in charge of day to day operations here, what dost thou thinks? Be we safe," he asks.

Wolverton considers his answer carefully. "For the time being, I trust we will not be troubled by these creatures again."

Satisfied, the boy king turns and addresses his subjects, "I am very proud of you, you have done well this day, and I expect us to return to the normal cheerfulness we celebrate daily here." He stops and thinks. "Oh, and whoever this 'Pounder' fellow is... Stop it. This pounding behavior is unacceptable!"

The crowd titters, knowing the hand he had in clearing the kingdom.

"Very well, carry on!"

The crowd disperses, and Wolverton mutters to himself.

"Yes, carry on."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Town (and Serial Killer) wins!

More thoughts coming up, but I know people are waiting, so I'll update this later.

Yay!

We won! :D

Guys it was fun.

And def, it was great :)

when I saw CK trying to kill Wully I got scared... but Sir rescued the situation! :D

Burn scum, burn!

[Cecilie]

Yey town, way to go! And great to see that the doctor was finally able to protect someone .

[def]

I won't be able to give a run down of everyone player by player until tomorrow, but I think overall it was a very successful game

This was really a case of town winning, rather than scum losing. Both sides played well, but two major things tilted the game in favor of town:

1) the vig taking out the godfather night two. Without that, I'm sure this game would have lasted until day seven.

2) town deciding to let the Serial Killer live. I was frankly surprised, and surprised he didn't get nominated after targeting Zam, a townie, but it worked out for the best.

Town can feel good that they won through smart play (including keeping the cop alive!) and not because their opponents were weak.

I was, overall, very impressed, and I think there are some longterm mafia players in this crew

Players, feel free to post your character roles, and any advice I specifically gave you that was useful. I gave a little bit of specific advice to players, so I hope it wasn't intrusive.

[Piratedave84]

THAT WAS FUN!!!!

I really enjoyed this game!!!

Congrats to town!!!

If by a luck of draw both Briksandparts and Fhomess had not been killed THE SAME NIGHT, we would have stood a better chance!!!!

OH, P.S, I forgot!

Carrots, I Don't really "don;t like you" LOL you played well sir!

[Darth Nihilus]

Good job town, apparently my death gave you the drive you needed to root out the scum.

Exellent job everyone, I hope you all go far in mafia . As for me, I really enjoyed watching, and it was really fun playing while the Wife of Darth was alive. def, can we post our Role PMs here, or should we wait?

[Scubacarrot]

I just want to say, thank you very much Def for hosting. I had a ton of fun, and in my inexperienced opinion, it was hosted in a great way. Also, the pictures were great!

Also thanks all players, it was a good game ;).

This is my role PM:

Hello. You are

Sir Carrots, The Knight (scubacarrot) - The ideal of a medieval Christian man-at-arms. He has participated in no less than fifteen of the great crusades of his era. Brave, experienced, and prudent.

You are Town. You are the town doctor. Each night, you must select one player (not yourself) and protect them from night kills. You can read more about your role here:

http://mafiascum.net...hp?title=Doctor

Oh, and somewhere along the way, you found this:

You may choose to share this or keep it to yourself. It's up to you.

[Cecilie]

I just want to say, thank you very much Def for hosting. I had a ton of fun, and in my inexperienced opinion, it was hosted in a great way. Also, the pictures were great!

Indeed! Def did an awesome job on this .

My role PM:

Hi,

you are

Cecily Seas, Soiled Dove (Cecile) - A once pure maiden who is no longer considered marriageable. A light and positive personality that worries not about the future.

You are Town. You are vanilla town. You need to smoke out the scum with your wits and intuition.

[fhomess]

I had fun with this game even if I didn't last very long. I'm guessing I looked scummy to Yumiyoshi for trying too hard to look like town, but I'd love to hear more about it. That was a pretty devastating night for scum. My apologies to Darth for encouraging the day 1 lynch, but someone has to go day 1, and as scum, I felt you were the easiest to target.

I was impressed that Wully survived the "not-town" investigator result and lasted to the end of the game. Also, a decent effort by Pirelly in trying to avoid the lynch on Day 4 with his doctor claim. Christos was, IMO, the best scum amongst us as he worked the PM's, but kudos to the townies for not trusting him fully and ultimately creating enough confusion on our end.

Here's the role PM section relevant to me. I've cut out parts relating to the other scummies, but Biskie was roleblocker.

Hello, you are the scum team.

Franklin Holmes, The Manciple (fhomess)- Holmes in charge of getting provisions for court. Despite his lack of education, he is smarter than the thirty lawyers he feeds.

You are not what it seems. In truth, you are not even human!

You are all natives of the Zbraxia Cluster, some light years away from Earth. By accident, you crash landed on this primitive planet during a routine research mission. The lifeforms here are beyond crude; superstitious, obsessed with bodily functions and mentally small. They still believe the Earth is the center of the universe Killing them is no big deal, anymore than they would have qualms about killing a dog. Unfortunately, your technology is all but turned to rubbish. You do have one phaser pistol, but it only gets one charge a day, forced to rely on solar energy.

Slowly but surely, you have infiltrated the simple society they've developed, in hopes of getting access to metals and other goods that may aid you in alerting the mothership, but these beasts want to hunt you! You can not allow this. You must kill them all if you ever want to go home.

fhomess is your godfather. He will appear innocent if investigated. You can read more here: http://mafiascum.net...title=Godfather

You must select one of fhomess, Chromeknight and Piratedave to make a kill each night. The other two will be inactive. If all three of you die before Bricksandparts, the kill will transfer to him.

fhomess and Piratedave did not receive pieces. Keep it straight

[Scubacarrot]

What I was wondering, why was I blocked on Night 2, was that just luck on the scum's part, or did you know something?

[Piratedave84]

What I was wondering, why was I blocked on Night 2, was that just luck on the scum's part, or did you know something?

We had it narrowed down to you and another player but I don't hink we actually knew you were doctor and it never dawned on us that you might be. For us it was simply a succesful kill, we never knew you tried to block her!

[fhomess]

What I was wondering, why was I blocked on Night 2, was that just luck on the scum's part, or did you know something?

Chromeknight made the final call on that since he was PM'ing a bunch of you. Going back through our writeboard, on day 2 we had 8 people on our list to consider:

Master Hale - we weren't worried about him due to his lack of participation to that point

Wully - Serial Killer

Zam/Voltana - Zam had told Chrome he was investigator, which we had no reason not to believe at that point, although I wondered if it was really Voltana. Either way, we figured neither were the doctor and we wanted a Town result on me that night (which we got!), so we didn't want to block investigator

Cecilie was the kill target for us

Dragus - who we'd blocked day 1, so couldn't block again

That left Yulie, Skip, and Carrots. I was worried about Yulie as the most dangerous of the three of you since she was targeting us the most, and we had agreed to it, but at somepoint Wully told Chrome in PM that he might target Yulie. It seems that Skip was someone Chrome had been talking to Wully about as well, so that left you. We didn't really have any idea you were the doctor at that point, though.

Had we targeted Yulie as originally planned, I'd have survived, but Cecilie would have, too!

[Cecilie]

Had we targeted Yulie as originally planned, I'd have survived, but Cecilie would have, too!

And! Since you would have gotten a town reading that night, it would have been a totally different game!

[Darth Nihilus]

My role:

Hello there, you are

The Wife of Darth (Darth Nihilous) - Darth is an English town on the Avon River, not the name of her husband. Though she is a seamstress by occupation, she is actually a professional wife. She has been married five times and had many other affairs in her youth, making her well practiced in the art of love. She presents herself as someone who loves marriage and sex, but she also takes pleasure in rich attire, talking, and arguing.

You are Town. You are the town roleblocker. Each night, you must target one player in order to prevent them from using an ability. If they have no ability, nothing will happen. You can learn more about your role here: http://mafiascum.net/wiki/index.php?title=Roleblocker

Too bad I never got to use my ability. I guess that's the way Mafia goes, though.

[fhomess]

And! Since you would have gotten a town reading that night, it would have been a totally different game!

Yes, and we would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids! I think Scooby Doo mafia is in order!

[The_Customizer]

Well, that was a wonderful game!

Even though I died after the 1st night. I think I pretty much had all the mafia guessed by the 3rd day, because I soon realized that all the Mafia PMed me, but no townies did. he mafia decided to loook innocent I guess, and so they PMed everyone (I am assuming) trying to act innocent, however, I soon noticed that when scum started dieing, they were all ones that had PMed me, therefore (if you read the afterlife forum) I pretty much knew who the mafia were, sadly though, Wully had killed me the first night.

[Piratedave84]

You see I never tried to PM anybody, I thought that as scum, it was best for me to put everything in the open for all to see. After my argument with Carrots on Day 3, I was sure to die that night but luckily everybody elected to lynch Master Hale that night.

Unkown to me though, this would be the start of my demise. I tried to claim doctor, it may have worked with darkdragon but everybody saw right through me!!!

I really had fun playing, I was kind of bummed at first to be scum on my first mafia game but I feel I handled myself well. It's hard to try and act as town when in fact you want them all dead!

[yumiyoshi]

Hello. You are

The Merchant's Wife, Yulie Yodie (Yumiyoshi) - Yodie focuses on propriety and appearances, maintaining a happy home. New to a life of wealth, her working class roots sometimes show through.

You are Town. You are the town vigilante. You have a single batch of arsenic. One time, on one night during the game, you may select a player and kill them in their sleep. You may read more about your role here: http://mafiascum.net...title=Vigilante

Oh, and somewhere along the way, you found this:

You may choose to share this or keep it to yourself. It's up to you.

Didn't share it.

After I was able to kill Franklin (fholmes), def said

It may be a good move to take credit for this in thread.

There would be a few results: you won't get any more votes for lynch against you, maybe scum will counter-claim it.

The important thing would be people believing you have no more abilities.Consider it

Gotta admit I've never trusted Dragus (c'mon! voting me!), and when I was contacted by C.Knight on the very first day, around the very first hours...

I suspected him, but I tryed to play all along... in order to stay alive: "if I'm not one to be scared of, i'd stay alive longer".

On the last 2 days I shared my scums suspects about him on the pubblic thread, and Ck wasn't that happy... still I managed to stay alive :P

I'm sorry I had to start with Sir... but that was in need since I wanted my list to start smoothy... and then goin on CK and Pirelly :D

Unfortunately I was very busy on those days.

I'm glad they didn't blocke me on my only one shot. I asked to Wuntin who he was going to kill... and that made him suspicious about me!!

pew! I survived. We Won!

And def won with this amaaaaaaaaaaaazing game! :D

Well done, very nice story,and great pictures! :D

[The_Customizer]

Oh, and for those who want to know.

Hello

you are

Cuslo Mizzle, Grizzled Soldier (The Customizer) - Mizzle has served in the castle from well before the Boy King's reign. He is fully aware of how the Royal system works, and knows that one must always serve the king.

You are Town. You are vanilla town. You need to smoke out the scum with your wits and intuition.

Oh, and somewhere along the way, you found this:

You may choose to share this or keep it to yourself. It's up to you.

Yeah, I was just a regular townie. That was killed by the SK on the 1st night. (I still want to know why I was killed)

[Fred Daniel Yam]

I can't believe we win! And I survived! I think I played a lot better than the circus game due to get amount of metagaming. To everyone, I am the cop, I was in touch with Scubacarrot since day 2. This was great def!!

[Brickdoctor]

Congratulations, Town!

I have to say, I saw a lot of long argumentative posts in this game, and while I didn't completely read through them all, I think I saw more of the thought-through, helpful arguments than I remember from Isla Paradisa, Fabuland Housewives, and Cirque du Freak. Nice work by the players and the host.

[halomaster96]

Congradulations to the Town who survived, I'm sorry I couldn't help more (and I learned my lesson for not being of much help).

Here is my role pm if anyone cares:

Hi

You are:

Master Hale, The Summoner's Assistant (halomaster96) - Hale is a shy boy that has been taken under the Pardoner's wing. While there are certainly unpleasant aspects to his position, he hopes the experience will give him freedom in life moving forward.

You are Town. You are vanilla town. You need to take out the scum with your wits and intuition.

[Tamamono]

Congratulations to the winners! You guys definitely deserve it!

And you've done another great job hosting, def! The sets were extremely well-made, the characters were creative, and the storyline was very well thought out! I really enjoyed watching this game!

Edited December 1, 2011 by Captain Tamamono

[Chromeknight]

Hello, you are the scum team.

Christos Knight, The Summoner (Chromeknight)- Knight brings persons accused of violating Church law to ecclesiastical court. A lecherous man whose face is scarred by leprosy. He gets drunk frequently, is irritable, and is not particularly qualified for his position. He frequently attempts to sound educated.

Chromeknight and Piratedave, you are goons. You can read more here: http://mafiascum.net....php?title=Goon

Oh, and somewhere along the way, you found this:

You may choose to share this or keep it to yourself. It's up to you.

Well done everyone. Especially the end game. Having a list of three suspects and two scum gives a lot of power to town.I made a mistake running a plan to keep Wully. On several levels. Essentially I was betting that he'd end up killing more town than scum. And that I'd be able to (gently) influence who he targeted. Turns out that wasn't the case. As it was it got Biskie killed and exposed first Franklin and then myself.

As I said in several PMs town wins by talking to each other and by finding the doctor and cop and using them well.That's what happened. I was just on the wrong end of it!Sorry Cecile (Cecilie), I was the one who called (and performed) the kill on you, I thought you might have been beginning to suspect me. I was right, and you'd passed on your suspicions to Carrots.

Carrtos, never had any idea you were doctor until you revealed it. The block was, as said above, just lucky.

Voltana/Zam. I got the sense that your friendship was a little metagamey, do you guys know each other outside EB? Ironically I also live in the same city. Didn't help though! In any case, again I totally bought your line that it was Zam who was investigator and was very confused day 4 with a result coming out. Clever play having the real investigator come out as just the 'messenger'. I figured the real cop wouldn't put himself out there like that.

It was a funny game, a mix of mistakes the scum made (lead in several cases by me!) some lucky plays,

<One shot. Lucky one shot. Lucky one shot on the Godfather. Lucky one shot on the Godfather after he'd just been investigated! ((Expletive deleted!))> and some good coordination by the town. Particularly toward the end.

Well done everyone! I had a lot of fun.Hope there's no hard feelings!

Yeah, I know zakura, but the reason I knew he was a townie was because of our PMs and the way he talked about the game in the day threads. I thought of the double bluff when I had my results on Day II. Sorry if I confused anyone, I had around 10 different conversations in my mailbox.
