LEGO Movie Mafia - Game Over - Town Win

[Col. Khaddafi]

Of course I know that my word means very little at this point, and I myself am not sure if this result is accurate since the one on az was not, but if you lynch me, we will lose, and I think DK is our best shot at winning.

Decks is scum?

Get out of Town dude.

[Col. Khaddafi]

So, with that said, CK, shoot Imopen. You have 48 hours to comply.

Sadly Stardust told me I'm running out of parts, so if I want to do another vig shot like the first one, he won't be ready before the night.

I genuinely do not know what to think of that

You dumbasses lynched Az, I didn't get the chronoboost

[Dechs Kaison]

Hell with it.

Vote Imopen

[Mcdonalds]

vote imopen

[Dechs Kaison]

Welp, that's three. LMD's our scum. Oops.

[Mcdonalds]

Kekekekekekekekekekekekekeke

[Dechs Kaison]

Not over yet.

[Col. Khaddafi]

Dunno how this works, but I might be able to night shot LMD before he NK's

[Dechs Kaison]

No. Shooting would be a bad idea.

[Dechs Kaison]

You have to trust me on this one. Don't shoot him.

[Stardust]

That's a lynch!

imopen2 (3): Col. Khaddafi, Dechs Kaison, Lord_Mcdonalds
Dechs Kaison (1): imopen2

Not voting: ...

You rush from the office tower to find Brickburg under attack! Micromanagers are flying everywhere and it isn't long before they storm towards you. imopen2 waves his lollipop staff to call up a lego wall.

"Go! The world depends on it!"

As imopen2 holds them off, the rest of you rush towards the floating skyscraper where Lord Business is controlling the TACOS (the S is silent). As you enter, you look behind you to see imopen2 succumbing to the micromanagers' huge numbers...

imopen2's Role PM

---

imopen2, you are Vitruvius, Master Builder.
The only thing anyone needs to be special is to believe that you can be. I know that sounds like a cat poster, but it's true! Guardian of the Kragle and inventor of the prophecy, you lost your sight to a laser pointer the last time you tried to stop Lord Business. Now cover your butts. It’s time to try again.
You win when all threats to the universe have been eliminated.
Abilities: During the day, you may vote.
Master Builder – During each Day phase you may PM me up to three inventions that can do anything at all. I will reply with a time requirement to create each invention. You select one to begin working on, which may be ready to use as early as that Night. If an invention takes more than one Day to create, you may stop working on it to start something else - progress on the first will be paused in the meantime.
Specialization – You are especially good at building devices related to prophecy and the afterlife.

It is now Night 4.

[Stardust]

Once inside, the remaining builders quickly finish off the skeletrons and are soon facing Lord Business himself.

"Lord Business!" says Scumbag, "We be here to finish ye off."

"Me!?" says Lord_Mcdonalds, "Oh, I don't think so. You're the ones who are finished! And my world is almost finished..."

"Not if we can help it!" says Dechs Kaison, fiddling with a small device in his hands. "Just... let... me..."

"What is that?" asks Lord_Mcdonalds. "Looks dumb."

"It's... just gimme a second..."

Exasperated and impatient, Lord_Mcdonalds sprays the device with the Kragle. Dechs looks on in shock, his last plan, ruined!

"It doesn't matter," says Scumbag. "Ye still be dead, Lord Business, for I have built a secret weapon so deadly, so unstoppable, that --"

"Ugh, you people and your secret weapons! Just die already so I can finish destroying the world! Sheesh!" Lord_Mcdonalds takes a step and crushes Scumbag with his giant robot legs. When he lifts his foot, all that's left are broken pirate limbs and a lego vest with a little flashing light.

"Huh? What's that?" says Lord_Mcdonalds as he moves in to inspect the light. Dechs' world flashes white as Scumbag's vest explodes, sending Dechs flying up and out of the now disintigrating flying skyscraper. Catching himself in the air, Dechs floats for a moment and looks around to see no trace of either Scumbag or Lord_Mcdonalds. The skyscraper is destroyed, and the micromanagers along with it. The world is saved.


LEGO Movie mafia has ended with a town victory. Congratulations to the team!

[RedNihilist]

Thanks DK!

[Stardust]

A bit of a messed up ending there. Both remaining townies wearing a bomb vest, but only Scumbag's was functional. Dechs tried to draw the kill to himself (which would have won LMD the game), but LMD roleblocked Dechs and killed Scumbag instead, ensuring the town win.

All you’re asking for is total perfection, but people everywhere are always messing with your stuff! But now you have a way to fix that. A way to keep things exactly the way they are supposed to be.

Hope you guys enjoyed the game!

[Mcdonalds]

Town went from throwing the game to winning, huh.

My thought are in the scum chat, tldr: azrael should've never been lynched, in fact had you cooperated and worked with him, i would likely would've been lynched day 3

[Mcdonalds]

Had fun though, the bomb best was odd, and wouldn't had guessed that was a thing but oh well

[Stardust]

I know imopen is pretty pissed at me, but with so much power on the town side I had to give the scum something crazy too, and I wanted them to have at least one creative power. That Micromanage ability was mainly intended to punish the town for collaborating on builds too heavily, but ended up just screwing the town when imopen was forced to claim for absolutely no reason. I was thinking throughout that I probably should have made Bad Cop a little stronger and maybe Lord Business a little weaker, just because if it had been Lord Business lynched Day 1, the scum probably wouldn't have stood much of a chance. One thing I hadn't considered was a proposal that never happened - to have all the master builders put out a public message to prove themselves. I'm thinking I should have given Bad Cop a 1-shot ability to make a public announcement to counter that strategy (and potentially lead to some interesting strategic uses too).

Dechs called the game, 100%, but didn't bother trying to get anyone to listen to him, I think because he figured his bomb vest would be the winning stroke. He's becoming a good player. I'm interested to see what Azrael thinks of how all this shook out in the end. I think he and imopen butting heads without being willing to seriously consider other options really hurt the town (and nearly lost the game).

Entertaining game to watch though! Some people had some pretty interesting approaches to building!

LMD, I think you made a mistake in blocking Dechs. You'd already blocked Dechs once before, and Scumbag was claiming a killing ability. I think it would have made more sense to go that route, but hindsight is 20/20 and all that. I was thinking as we entered Day 4 that maybe I valued the bomb vest a little too low, but both scum had the ability to counter it pretty easily.

[RedNihilist]

Day 3: every time I asked myself "Is he really scum, or am I just tunneling him?" he brushed off every theory like evreybody except him was an idiot.
100% would hang again.

[Mcdonalds]

The bomb vest was something I didn't expect and I figured Dechs had a protection role of somekind, col couldn't shoot me so I discounted that bit, I figured I kragalize Dechs, and then hit col as a fail safe (in case kragalizing did nothing), at that point if Dechs managed to next level me, oh well, he's got it

[Stardust]

Yeah, fair enough. Bomb vests are pretty scary.

One invention I thought would be pretty cool was immunity to all scum abilities other than nightkills. Dechs would have had to have something like that to stop your Kragle from working.

[Mcdonalds]

Day 3: every time I asked myself "Is he really scum, or am I just tunneling him?" he brushed off every theory like evreybody except him was an idiot.
100% would hang again.

Don't blame him, up until day 4 I had no reason to think the town would go after me, imopen was the only one who reasonably looked into me before then but az was tunneling pretty hard on ham, imopen likely could've made a decent case on me and drawn some attention away from ham (meta analysis mixed with presenting a stronger case on me would've done it I feel

[hamfactorial]

[( G_R )]

Wut?

[Mcdonalds]

No one was emmit, dammit stardust I hate you

[( G_R )]

Sorry about D1, LMD, I heard the news of our driver's death while in another country and one of my guys needed my laptop to do his work remotely, so I was stuck in a conference room with nothing but a lot of frustration and this thread to kill time.

My mafia rage-quit threat was a play, btw, not serious. I didn't realize I had made the exact play last time I was scum ("ZOMG you just hate me cuz I can't English well!") until later, but I guess it didn't make much of a difference.

GG, etc.

[hamfactorial]

Well played everybody, except for that whole lynching me even though you knew I was town thing.

[hamfactorial]

Bitter etc.

[Dechs Kaison]

Damnit! All of my gut reads were right. After GR, I had my gut telling me everyone I lynched was town.

[Stardust]

Yeah, your reads were good, Dechs. Close to perfect. You just let yourself get dragged into the big town mess that got started. If you'd had a good alternative for the hamfactorial lynch, you probably could have made it happen.

[hamfactorial]

I suppose me dying instead of CK was good, but getting railroaded by Az sucked out all hope of enjoying the game.

I don't have the right constitution for mafia, I take it too personally.

[Stardust]

One thing I've been thinking is that maybe this site is better prepared to play shorter games. I'm thinking week long deadlines max for each Day (maybe a bit longer for Day 1). Reduces the stress of arguing for days on end and lessens the amount of reading required to do actual analysis (something that people seem reluctant to do at times).

On the other hand, some players seem to only want to post every other day, making it tough to hold to a strict deadline like that. I don't know what the answer is. Maybe mafia's just dead. Seems like half the players in this game didn't really want to play.

[hamfactorial]

I would prefer shorter deadlines, but don't know how to entice more people to play.

[Col. Khaddafi]

I started doubting about LMD after Red got smoked, but I figured I could just play dumb and lynch imopen2 and imply a vig shot was almos almost there so I could drive flack onto me.

At some point I doubted imopen2 would be a survivor role too so it was additional incentive to smoke him

Fun game, loved the design and the fact I didn't had to read walls of text. I'm always scared of joining a game because I fear I can't keep up with the threads, but this game was fast paced, like it.

Also yay town!

[Dechs Kaison]

I have one last thing to add.





Morons.

I think its bad for the forum that Kaze is on hiatus, he was very good at drawing people for games

[hamfactorial]

[Dechs Kaison]

Then again, how much of a moron do you have to be to not only willingly hammer yourself as town when you've got a bomb vest to kill scum, but count the votes wrong when you do it?

Seriously, I wish I had been the scum this game. I wish I were that good.

[rezombad]

[imopen2]

Yea, so this game really made me mad. The setup was good, and it isn't stardust's fault, but I just felt totally powerless. I made one device, and all it did was fuck the town over. I mean, I did say LMD was scum after I looked at his post history, but I dropped it when I got the scum result on AZ. I'm glad we won, but it was an extremely frustrating last couple day phases.

After you got a scum result on az, i was sure that red was a master builder, roleblocked kpaca somehow so his shot failed and fucked with your results. I mean, that's basically what happened but wrong guy
