Ragnarok Mafia (Scum Win) Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags

[( G_R )]

"Oh shit, he's town, we fucked up" <-- you guys when N3 begins.

[TubeHunter]

Ah, I missed getting to vote gr! Damn it.

Seems like nobody is celebrating right now so I think we're good.

Well Rez, it's put up or shut up tonight.

What a coincidence. You'll kill Z out of the blue, and hammer LMD, but when it comes to your scumbuddy? You're "late" for the vote.

Nope, I was gone all last night from electronics (basketball game) so I don't see. The point. If I really didn't want gr dead I would've not pushed for him. I pushed for him to get lynched first, so if he really was my buddy why would I do that? Please think before
you make accusations

[rcwraspy]

You must have just invented busing then, because it's CLEARLY not a thing...

[( G_R )]

It's not busing when it's a townie. It's called a mislynch.

[( G_R )]

Do we get bah posts on Iso? I want to post that minion gif as my bah post.

[TubeHunter]

We'll see gr

[( G_R )]

Indeed.

[Kazekirimaru]

I'm sure Kaze is town this game, if I'm wrong then OK, but if he is, he's the dumbest town I've ever played with.

You're rude.

It's okay since you're scum. I'll forgive you <3

[imopen2]

On iso, anything is possible.

[imopen2]

Maybe there is just 1 scum in this game

[TubeHunter]

[( G_R )]

Maybe there is just 1 scum in this game

Maybe people are lynching townies for all the wrong reasons.

>Implying modgaming/flavorgaming is a good reason to lynch a player. Oh look, LMD is a dragon townie! So am I.

[( G_R )]

[TubeHunter]

nah, I mostly wanted to lynch you based on the fact that your player had done nothing all game. and that role is horridly untownie.

[Iso]

Well, that's a lynch. Impending votecount + lynch scene.

[TubeHunter]

Oh goody

[Iso]

Official Votecount:

(G_R) (4): Kazekirimaru, rcwraspy, rezombad, InflatablePie
rezombad (1): (G_R)


That is a lynch.

-

"The Eater Beneath the Tree! He killed our beloved Baldur! I saw it with my own eyes!" screamed TubeHunter.

"You fools! Ragnarok HAD to begin! It was our destiny all along! Don't you see? Open your eyes!" retorted (G_R).

"Nidhogg, you have killed our brother! You will not go unpunished!" challenged InflatablePie.

(G_R) tore apart the cities and landscapes, hurling death energy everywhere until InflatablePie descended with his scepter and impaled (G_R)'s heart with it.

(G_R), in his death throes, gurgled with maniacal, bloody laughter.

"We were all doomed from the start."

-

(G_R) has been lynched. He was Nidhogg, Eater Beneath the Tree.

-

nInflatablePie removed his scepter from the fallen dragon's chest as a wicked smile erupted on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen...I have an announcement to make...

...it was me all along!" crowed InflatablePie, as he began furiously attacking TubeHunter.

Kazekirimaru bore a similar grin as he pounced on rezombad and ripped him limb from limb.

rcwraspy trotted over to imopen2, lifted up his leg, and urinated on him. imopen2 was a tree, after all.

-

"The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon where the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward; and somewhere in the wilderness, we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message."

Asgard has fallen to the Frost Giants.

The mafia (rcwraspy - Sleipnir, Odin's Steed; InflatablePie - Loki, Trickster God; Kazekirimaru - Unleashed Wolf of the Ván) has won!

Full setup
incoming.

[TubeHunter]

Oh darn. I was kind of hoping for this anyways.

[Mcdonalds]

Whelp I was wrong

[imopen2]

Great. What a fucking mess

[Kazekirimaru]

Oh, wait, sorry. I was scum the whole time. Whoops. <3

[imopen2]

I really don't think we had much of a chance in this game. Too much shit against us with our roles being anti-town, the scum roles being pro-town and therefore easy to hide behind, a three town neighborhood, etc.

We kinda sorta faked our roles, brah.

You guys killed each other, period. We barely had to do anything.

[TubeHunter]

I kinda just wanted this game to be over. I realized about halfway through the possible pairing. Did you know that in Norse mythos, Loki is the parent of slepnir and fenrir? But alas, I didn't feel up to it. Oops

[hamfactorial]

Tube you certainly did your best to help the game to a speedy conclusion

[TubeHunter]

Eh, I think I'm done playing mafia anyways, that was humiliatingly bad play by me

lol. I feel like you should PROBABLY come forward with this sorta thing in the future.

Good game everybody, was fun. Some of you had my scent toward the end but it was too late

[Iso]

Things that worked:

Stardust's role. The game was centered around the concept of Baldur dying and beginning Ragnarok - so it made sense that the player with the role would want to die as soon as possible! How to motivate a player to want to get themselves killed in a certain way? Nerf the scum as a result! I had to include a lot of killing roles, but implement them in ways that made the players thing to use them. I think this part of the design was ultimately successful, and, had anyone put any thought into the setup, would have been a pretty clear indicator that the entire Neighborhood was town. Speaking of the Neighborhood...

The Neighborhood. Odin's role was obviously a red herring. I didn't want the Neighbors to instantly trust each other because that would have been far too powerful for a Mini. Instead, I wanted them to start off with healthy paranoia that would gradually develop into town reads after some time
passed. TubeHunter blew his load early and then used his ability as a reason to lynch the other Neighbor. This is bad - it was a prime example of favoring modgaming (not wise in an Iso game) and tunneling over objectiveness and behavioral analysis. It was a test to the holder of Gungnir and unfortunately he failed - which means the role ended up serving its teaching purpose!


Things that didn't work:

rezombad's role. I groaned outwardly when I remembered that I forgot to change it to a Day activation from a Night activation during the last Day. That was a mod mistake, and I sincerely apologize for it - not that it would've changed much, thanks to...

rcwraspy's role. It didn't occur to me that the town losing a Night as a result of Baldur's ability would have been so harmful in conjunction with the Sleipnir role, which honestly, was a sort of last-minute add-on because I didn't want a Goon or a true Roleblocker in the mafia, and a Rolecop made no sense flavorfully since he's a horse.


nAll-in-all, I think this setup did alright for a Mini with 4 killing roles (one of which could only kill mafia) and I'm not too upset about the fact that the game ended on Day 3's lynch (even with a skipped Nightkill, which was part of the intention of Baldur's role - balancing out the number of kills necessary to activate his role).

Also, I actually completely forgot that Loki was Fenrir's father, though I did remember that he was Sleipnir's.

Interesting how that worked out flavorfully!

[rcwraspy]

Don't give up!

Just, you know, pay attention to the little things. Like how many votes are on someone. But to your defense there weren't many votecounts, so it was hard to know for sure.

[Mcdonalds]

How did I get a double vote

[rcwraspy]

rcwraspy's role. It didn't occur to me that the town losing a Night as a result of Baldur's ability would have been so harmful in conjunction with the Sleipnir role, which honestly, was a sort of last-minute add-on because I didn't want a Goon or a true Roleblocker in the mafia, and a Rolecop made no sense flavorfully since he's a horse.

Yeah at 3:3 with my ability, it's game over heading into night. Prevent all non-kill actions, have a buddy kill X town, and it's next Day at 2:3. Although you could have given us the chance to blow it, I guess, and let Rezombad resurrect Stardust.

Also don't forget that town had 3 chances to lynch me before I would have naturally used my role. I was pretty afraid of being the Day3 lynch after having no
Night2.

Do take a look at the mod note by your ability.

Yeah, I thought about seeing if you guys would do the Roleblock thing but then I realized it was 3v3 and that there was no point to it.

[Kazekirimaru]

Don't give up!

^This. You're relatively new to the game. You just need more experience. Don't get discouraged.

I'd like to think I did a pretty okay job emulating what people see as townKaze this game. This hopefully goes to show that you should always favor logic over behavioral tells. Always question the intent. "Why did Kaze pull a gambit and never mention it again? What did he glean from it? Wouldn't now be a good time to bring that up? Maybe he just did it to look townie! :
O"

But so many people were willing to write me off as "Kaze being Kaze" that even when I made blatantly bad/nonsensical plays people just handwaved them for me. Maybe now, that won't happen.

Thanks for the game, Iso. And cheers to everyone who participated!

[Iso]

Thanks, guys. I'm glad not everyone thought it was a total failure despite the few hangups I had with the setup.
