chat8bit: Mafia

[Steel Shadow]

Well, after alot of internal strife, I've reached an agreement with Ecurt. So, after all that, turns out it is quite inevitable. More people = winning. Maybe this time I'll settle down.

Vote: The betrayer scum Arhra!

[Mesden]

What can I say? Honestly, I wanted one cult victory afterall, and so much backstabbing and whatever, you know, it's stupid at this point.

We've already ruined the game for Fenris with this giant charade, and, well, I'll give something out for now.

You all notice I was invincible at night, correct? How early did it take for me to die? I was targetted night 1. Night 0 I was PO'd. I'm bait for every role in mafia and it sickens me that I have to have some kind of POWER to ever play this game. I was blessed with some paranoid role combined in with my own favorite role of Cult Leader.

When I saw that I was nearly autokilled, I half wanted to just drop the game there. When I asked Marius prior to his death when he investigated me, he said his results were passed down from Raiden.

When I asked Raiden, he said he checked me off the bat.

It seems that I can't ever be an evil role without being found off instantly. I can't be a townie role without being Mafia targetted early, not to mention the vig and SK.

So, I finally got a chance to make something out of my last possible playable game. Things started well at first. By night one, there were 4 cultists. Myself, the original, my night 0 draft and lo and behold the astounding draft of the Serial Killer.

I was elated, happy that I might actually be good for a cult victory. Then, to my dismay, the instant I recieve a bounty, it was ripped away by some secret role of Arhra's. Yes, Arhra screwed me out of my greatest draft to date, possibly.

Well, I took the hit with a grain of salt. I still had good numbers and it seemed I could keep my stride. The Vig was also dead, so less night killing meant less chance of cult decrease.

I was wrong.

The next night, I recruited my Mason, Sithdarth. Amazing though it was, I was elated until I heard there were only 2 masons, which was a tad of a downer, since 3 is the norm and that would've been another player out of my way.

And in that same night, I lose KP, who was quite valuable in helping me through the thread.

So, I was stuck, at 3 again. Again, I took the hit in stride and continued. Only to, on the next night, have my newest initiate be strike down by the mafia, again.

I was stunned, by now. I had lost 3 members in a row, one the Serial Killer and the other two great combatants in thread, so losing them could only have come to night killing, which there was little of.

Then, the one single thing that could end me happened.

A PO revelation.

Now, I never planned for this to happen, oh no, never. Why would I? Why would the PO reveal himself solely to finish off the already crippled cult? There's no sense behind it.

But he did, and it stung. I was stuck, having the only confrontation that could end me point its blade to my neck.

Somehow, someway, through some miracle of words, I sent the town right back against their own PO. I don't know if it was my silver tongue or other's sheer disbelief, but I skimmed by the imminent danger, prolonging my downfall.

And then it came. My final draft. There were only 8 people to choose from, for my plan to work.

I needed the Mafia don.

I went over the thread 3 times, 3 whole times. Examining who did what of these 8 final suspects. When Fenris finally gave me the last push of who to pick, I chose Ecurt.

My heart jumped, I had somehow managed to decipher the Mafia don, the one piece of the puzzle that I needed.

I had it, the numbers. There were 14 people remaining, and my cult had made its way to 4 without instantly being shot down, right? Not all. For my mafia friend had his own allies, correct? That put our numbers just to 6. One more and we could insure victory. One single more person that may yet wish to join in this triumph I was managing to scrape by.

And there he was. Like a small beacon of oppurtunity. My fellow cultist and mason had someone he could persuade. And it was the single person that ended my first great triumph, Arhra.

I was elated to hear that Arhra had decided to join my fold, help me create the single greatest plan and comeback ever.

No. It couldn't be. Any meanst of this retribution fore the last toll of the bell for me was cast away for his own great backstab and self glory. To give it to the town, the entity that already had the very most wins.

Why? I asked. I asked it so many times. So so so so so many times. I was happy, for my final chance to play, through all the crises I had finall overcame it through skill and a hint of luck. I finally had it all by just the thinnest of threads, until Arhra became the scissors yet again.

Arhra ruined my greatest accomplishment again.

So, I take this blow and resign. Arhra took it all for himself and took it all away from me for my last time. The very last plan I will ever concoct. The very last chance the entity that seems always so down trotten could pull through. The very, very last hope of a player and of an ideal, all shattered by one simple Mason.

Good Game Arhra, your victory is only so bitter sweet, for you have stained it with your tastes and forced it down my throat.

Adieu.

[Truce]

You know...I'm tired and annoyed of all the bickering. I'm tired of people taking this game too seriously.

I will say this though: Arhra does have my in game respect, because he was just as deceitful as any of the evil roles if not more so, though I can't blame him because I would have done the same (and probably would have been disappointed if he hadn't done it). So does Demonlink, for not constantly switching. So did Twiddy, up until just now. Even SS has my respect, because he actually had a decent reason for switching back and forth. The people who betrayed the town but then ran back though have lost a significant amount of in game respect because of their lack of commitment to either side.

If there's one thing that amuses me more about this game more than anything though is this single fact: No side could win without betrayal. Not the town, not the cult, not even the mafia once Mesden managed to induct me.

However, as an individual, I've already won. I've played the game as best as I could and that's enough.

[Fenris]

Mesden has quit. She will be sorely missed.

She was FenrisWolf, Paranoid Cult Leader, Cult-aligned. Paranoid, meaning that if she was attacked overnight, she would not be killed, due to her locking all of her doors and windows.

Edit to unvote.

[Fenris]

Ecurt has informed me that he quit. He too will be sorely missed.

He was CheshireThief, Insightful Mafia Don, Cult-Draftee, Cult-aligned. Insightful, meaning that he knows the Obvious player's role.

Yo, Fenris, 2 things.
