Will you vote for ltd?

He's not a close third. But it's better than you getting 100% the wrong guy, so yes.

Oh God, I'm gonna hate myself for this

Hammer. Stop posting.

Matt, Forty and GNIP bring Jabba a giant birthday cake, and start singing For He's A Jolly Good Fellow . "But my birthday's not until next month..." Jabba muses.

A man with a tommy gun pops out and bops off Jabba.

@The Jabbawookie is dead. He was a Vanilla Town.

Night 2 begins. You have 24 hours, or until all Night actions are in.

@FortyInRed
@GhostofNobodyInParticular
@LTD
@Matt3412

Ever get the feeling you're being followed? Like someone's out to get you, but you don't know why or who? @Matt3412 understands. Last night he got that feeling--and realized it was more than just a feeling. Matt tried to escape--

-but failed.

@Matt3412 is dead. He was a Vanilla Town.

Day 3 begins. You have 48 hours, or until Hammer.

@FortyInRed L-2

Well ok.

50/50.

Is it Forty or GNIP?

A tip for young players - if you are the other town, don’t vote for me - the scum will jump on and win.

I had a plan of mutual destruction in mind - I’m a one shot vigilante. My plan was to wait and hope I was one of the last three, and then vote someone and use my shot to kill the other - but on rereading the conditions one townie has to survive for us to win the game. So I screwed that up but good.

I guess we can play for a tie?

Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

I’m also headed to bed - please don’t kill me while I sleep.

I mean someone could have said something.

The world doesn’t cease to exist just because my eyes are closed... or does it?

I don't really have much to say. I am probably going to vote @FortyInRed over you, but. . . I am not sure I buy your vigilante claim. Especially since you have played this game long enough to know that there must always be one man standing for a faction to win.

Speaking of which, Forty, could you lend us some input?

I am a vanilla town, and Mad was a Goon. Matt and Jabba were vanillas, and clon was a Babysitter. That makes:

1 power role, 3 vanillas vs a vanilla.

Either the scum have to have something powerful to balance 2 power roles (and a killing one at that), or LTD is lying and is just a mafia goon or a weaker mafioso. On the other hand, a babysitter can lead to two deaths, so maybe that balances it out?

Most games of this that I recall just said “town wins once all threats to town have been eliminated.” I don’t recall a game explicitly stating someone has to survive.

I too am a vanilla townie so unless I misunderstood things, someone is lying or the victory conditions got screwed up.

I'm not going to pretend I get all the subterfuge here, but "LTD is lying" makes the most sense to me.

I’m not lying.

I am a one shot vigilante piano playing body double.

If I get lynched it’s a scum win.

If someone else gets lynched it’s a 50/50 town win or no score draw.

But that isn’t true either - because if we lynch town then the game ends before night and I don’t get to shoot anyone.

Sigh.

I remember again why I don’t like these games all that much.

I mean can't we all say that? Guess the wrong person this round and the scum win.

You really want us to believe that you are a vigilante?

If so, why didn't you kill whoever you thought it was earlier?

The "I forgot that my strategy won't work" doesn't seem like a mistake you'd make. You're more cunning than that.

You overestimate my cunning.

I didn’t use my kill ability sooner because it’s such a small game and I didn’t have strong leads or feelings.

I voted Madaghmire day one but he didn’t get lynched, then he died randomly night one.

Day two I voted GNIP, but you guys lynched Jabba (good work btw!). If I had used my kill night two and gotten it wrong the game would already be over.

I am going to vote GNIP again and hope Forty is town because if I vote Forty and GNIP is scum I’ll feel like a fool.

This way I can say “beginner’s luck”.

## vote GhostofNobodyinParticular

Let's hope you're right.

##vote Ghostofnobodyinparticular

HAMMER

##unvote. On second thought, what if you're tricking me.

I don’t think you can unvote after a hammer.

But if you’re worried that I might be tricking you then you definitely town, which means I can trust you.

Vote away!

@Bertie Wooster

Sorry, I was sleeping. No, you can't unvote after hammer.

@FortyInRed and @LTD tell @GhostofNobodyInParticular to "stand right there..."

When that doesn't work, they just shoot him.

GNIP was a Vanilla Town. Now he's a real ghost.

I don't think I need to wait for LTD and Forty to play out the rest of the game, we all know what happens next:

@LTD realizes he's been had, and takes some vigilante justice out on @FortyInRed .

@FortyInRed also kills @LTD at the same time.

LTD was a Town 1-Shot Vigilante ; Forty was a Mafia Goon .

Neither Mafia nor Town has met their win condition--at least one member must survive. It's a tie. Good game everyone! @Madaghmire @The Jabbawookie @clontroper5 @Matt3412 @GhostofNobodyInParticular

That night chat though lol

Kudos to @FortyInRed for staying alive as long as you did, considering it was your first game with us. Everyone else here has played in at least five games together already, so I felt kinda bad that you were Mafia, but you held it together!

I'm open to feedback and criticism. Did it feel balanced? Two scum in a seven player game is already difficult for town, so I didn't give scum any special abilities. But I didn't want town to be too powerful either, so I chose roles (babysitter, vigilante) that could help town or potentially backfire. Interestingly, the game could have been over after N1, in favor of town or scum.

I didn't intend for a no-win scenario to be possible. That was an oversight. I didn't realize it until it was too late to change it.
