Theros Pantheon Mafia - Game Over - Mafia Victory

[Captain Murphy]

We lynch imopen or tubehunter tomorrow, I didn't think red was scum

[RedNihilist]

Dude, I'm not attacking you as a player. It's a game - if you don't want to be lynched, play better.

I *sincerely* think I'm a subpar player, I'm haven't got anything against your person.

imopen has had some wacky hammers. Let's go for him.

Just making sure we're cool.

[Captain Murphy]

I'm leaning more to tubehunter

[Stardust]

RedNihilist (Athreos) (4): rezombad, Iso, TubeHunter, imopen2
TubeHunter (Keranos) (1): RedNihilist

Not voting: Captain Murphy





Without any pomp or ceremony, Ephara accuses Athreos. This whole situation has clearly gotten to the lot of you as Thassa, Keranos and Erebos quickly agree. RedNihilist cries out for more discussion. He's always accepted his role in the world and would never want it upset! But his pleas fall on deaf ears as Erebos steps forward, Mastix already loose from his belt, and soon it is over.

Athreos's starry form floats up into the sky, joining the constellations of his siblings before him. He will never sail the waters
again.

RedNihilist's role PM

---

You are Athreos, River Guide.
Death and life are yours to control, but you happily play the role the fates have given you. Your domain is the Rivers That Ring the World where you travel on your own time, ferrying the dead to the Underworld, and calling occasionally on a skeletal griffin to gather the strays. Such is your lot in life, and you will perform that duty without question until the end.

You win when all threats to the Pantheon have been eliminated.

It is now Night 4. No posting! Day 5 will begin in 72 hours.

[Stardust]

Captain Murphy cannot be killed this Night.

[Stardust]

The day breaks with Ephara's favored polis, Meletis, pounded by giant waves. The great sea wall and Ephara herself have protected them in the past, but this time is different. Waves reaching hundreds of feet in the air are barely slowed by the sea wall, which eventually breaks entirely, allowing the vast majority of the city to be destroyed by the relentless waves. What few citizens manage to escape wonder at Ephara's absence and Thassa's fury. They have seen the death of the gods written in the stars and (as philosophers are wont to do) they wonder if this devastation is Thassa's power reclaiming what Ephara has lost. Theories aside, they wonder too when and if this will all end...

Too soon their introspection turns to fear as
the faceless dead of their neighbours rise, dripping, from the retreating sea. Without Athreos to guide them, the dead have nowhere else to go. The survivors pause only briefly to curse the gods before turning to run.

rezombad's role PM

---

You are Ephara, the Great Protector.
God of shelter and protection, you granted power to the Meletians to kill the evil archon Agnomakhos. Mortals are a treasure to be cherished and defended, not cast aside by the greater forces of the gods. Theros is crumbling and must be shielded from the selfish gods who would take power without regard for the mortal lives lost.

You win when all threats to the Pantheon have been eliminated.
Abilities: During the day, you may vote.

It is now Day 5. With 4 alive, it is 3 to lynch.

[Iso]

Massclaim time!

Jailer

[Iso]

I targeted Red up until he was lynched and I targeted TubeHunter last Night.

[Iso]

Also, that means there's probably an SK because there's no way in hell there's only 2 anti-town players in this game

[Iso]

(As in, an SK and a mafioso still alive)

[TubeHunter]

I targeted Red up until he was lynched and I targeted TubeHunter last Night.

Are you kidding me, this is bullshit.

vote Iso


For the love of all that is holy don't let him lead you to your doom.

[Iso]

uhm

what

[Iso]

looks like we got a live one vote tubehunter

[Iso]

I told Stardust that I wanted to make my flavor last Night putting a shark up your ass

All of my Night actions have begun with, "I, Batman, Greek God of the seas..."

srsly.

[Iso]

where my bitches at?

[Iso]

If we lynch TubeHunter toDay and I Jail imopen toNight, we can't lose.

(I'm fairly confident Murphy is town.)

[Captain Murphy]

Tubehunter is the lynch for today, I just want to figure out who he is buddy with

[Iso]

hint: not iso

[Iso]

I couldn't help but notice that no one else has claimed yet

also where is imopen

[Captain Murphy]

I want to discuss connections before a mass claim

[Iso]

what connections would you like to discuss

we have 1 dead scum and somehow we haven't already lost with 4 players alive

you are my only living town read

that's pretty self-explanatory to me

[TubeHunter]

I'm tired and this game has drug out far too long.

vote: tubehunter

GG everyone, close but not quite

[imopen2]

Well that makes things easier.

Vote: Tubehunter

[Stardust]

Erebos and Thassa bear down on Keranos, realising then that there was a traitor among their ranks throughout this whole ordeal. Keranos backs away uncertainly, but only for only a moment before lunging forward, swinging his great axe (where did that come from!) at Erebos in a vain attempt to slay him. Erebos sidesteps the violent swing and regards his attacker: Mogis. The minotaur god swings again, but this time is stopped by Thassa's binding magic. The pair make short work of Mogis who soon is absorbed back into Nyx, leaving nothing but a sword in his wake.

TubeHunter's role PM

---

You are Mogis, Sadist God.
God of violence, bloodlust and the atrocities of war, nothing pleases you more than
to see blood spilled on the ground. Finally, you now have the power and the means to make all of Theros burn. After months of preparation, you stole the otherworldly sword, testing it first on the magical guards, then on your kin Keranos a few days later. He simply ceased to exist, giving you weeks of satisfaction as you took his form and tricked the rest of the Pantheon into believing it was you who had been killed.

But mass fratricide alone isn’t enough. Watching your brothers and sisters tear each other apart would be so much more thrilling! As Keranos, you approached other gods with a proposition: taking control of the Pantheon. The divine mafia was formed. All you have to do now is pull the strings and watch the bloodshed unfold...

You are a self-aligned serial killer posing as part of the mafia team. You may speak in the mafia quicktopic and may be selected to perform the mafia night kill. You cannot be selected against your will, but you do not have the final say on the mafia’s
actions otherwise. If there are no mafia members alive, you may use the mafia night kill as normal.

You win when you are the last player alive.

Thassa and Erebos take the sword from the ground where Mogis once laid and destroy it. You hope in time that your immortality will return, perhaps once you have fully absorbed the power of the other gods, but there are more important things to worry about in the meantime. The land of Theros lies in ruins beneath you as you look down upon your kingdom from the starry sky of Nyx. Not that you care, of course. The land will need to be rebuilt, but this time it will be in your image...

Congratulations to imopen2, Iso and hamfactorial! Theros Pantheon Mafia had ended in a Mafia Victory.

I'll post the full setup tomorrow. Thanks for playing! You can all tell me how much you hate me now.

[Iso]

[hamfactorial]

so drama
much intrigue
wow

[zemanjaski]

I have come to eat crow.

And to boast for being vig'd in every game I have played so far.

[Iso]

Kaze: "I think it was Sir Karn who said on MTGS: Always listen to Iso - He hunts scum regardless of alignment."

I believe that was Wheat, actually.

-

wtf imopen you were Untargetable and you didn't MAKE us choose you as the NKer?!?

[Iso]

Stardust: "Iso has already told me that there's no way he's changing, but that's only because he didn't read the opening post of the mafia QT where it says performing the kill doesn't prevent the use of other actions. He thinks he's got the whole team covered since imopen is performing the kill and Tube is blocked."

No, I just figured the SK didn't have his own factional kill since there had been no additional kill, and was confident enough in TubeSK to feel that we were covered.

[TubeHunter]

i didn't think there was any way for me to win regardless.

i did have a one shot kill, but there was no way in hell that i was gonna lynch iso today.

[RedNihilist]

GG.
The setup was good, though.
We townies messed up many times, nothing much else to say.

Also, thanks Pie.

[zemanjaski]

You made good points towards the end Red, but you need to start playing earlier.

[RedNihilist]

I've got a lot of limits.
I'm very slow AND I'm always in fear of overcommitting because I've got this tendency of slipping out of linguage barriers and even timezone barriers as I've demonstrated in this game.
Also, this time I was willing to let scum consider me an easy target for a mislynch because I thought that claiming would have saved me, but I failed marvelously so whatevs.

[TubeHunter]

should i have really killed iso earlyer?

ugh, i got blinded by going into today 1-1-1, felt that was my best chance

[RedNihilist]

I fear my last post doesn't even make any sense.

[zemanjaski]

It didn't.

Also, always kill Iso.

[TubeHunter]

i was looking forward to killing you z


Damn witchunt

[TubeHunter]

lesson for this game, don't get too focused on one plan of action, cause it probably won't go your way.

SK was really fun, even if i did make some dumb mistakes

Me in the scum chat: On another hand, about the secret ablilites. Do any of you guys think we should share them? I really don't want to be staring down a potentially game breaking situation and not capitalize beacause we don't know what the hell anybody does.

After this i thought it was game over for me.
thankfully everyone kind of just let it go.

I kind of wonder how i wasn't found sooner, the sk revelation from ham left me thinking, "christ I'm done for, I look really bad and iso and imopen aren't dumb and there is no fucking way stardust put 5 anti-town roles in this game it is so obvious Im done for!"

[hamfactorial]

I was going to investigate the neutral role on night 2, but I got hosed when Red protected Pie from the lynch and everyone killed me in response. I suspected the SK was in the mafia, because an 8-4-1 setup seemed extremely unbalanced, but needed another chance to dig.

Luckily Iso saved the day with his big brain.
