My Little Pony: Friendship is Mafia

Like, N1 the only thing I had to go on was Snakes reasoning about Bob, because I had nothing else myself, and according to the mafia wiki the best thing for a vig with no suspicions to do is hit inactives anyway. I also wanted to see what Snake would say if Bob turned up town.

N2 things didn't go so well, seeing as the days lynch was wasted with the override. So, as the element of loyalty, I felt it best to simply stick with the majority vote on Fawful. I essentially acted as the lynch that day, whilst Aldurin acted as the random vig kill.

N3 was easier; RPG was already suspected of being the SK, and there was talk of letting him live long enough to hit more mafia, Aldurin was confirmed town, Greg confirmed himself when he outed Nikose, IHMN was, well, IHMN, Karesh and Sif were practically confirmed at that point, though I still had reservations about Sif, Verifiedz was never really a threat, RO I had nothing to suspect as he was a replacement so was probably town, which pretty much left Bard, Ryan, Greed and Oron, of which Ryan and Greed were already drawing lynch attention.

So it was really just a 50/50 split between the 2 then. The final decision came when I looked at the numbers for each player on the main list, I figured it was unlikely the mafia would all be down the bottom so I went straight to the top.

I'm still curious as to what it was that outed me as a power though. I really didn't think I was that obvious/threatening.

I honestly figured "Fenris is probably the type to give Hawk the Rainbow Dash role because of his avatar" at the beginning and Rainbow Dash happened to be the Vig. Then as the game went on, the list of possible players with power roles narrowed until you were basically one of three choices for Vig. At least, that's how it seemed to me. I think Nik pegged you as a power role during Day 2 as well.

My cult mind reading powers.
If its a big issue I can reread day 1 because I really don't remember right now it was ages ago.

I did consider changing my avatar when the game started, but that would have been just as suspicious really. It probably didn't help when Nik talked about how Snake was probably Pinkie either, because the next logical choice was me and RD. Me and Snake are probably the most vocal about who our favourites are and Niks comments on D1 did have me pretty worried at first.

Although Fenris' PM only said I was a lucky motherfucker for getting my favourite pony, so I assume it was just random luck there.

I was incredibly disappointed that I was not Pinkie Pie, to be honest.

I just had a hunch that Either RpG, hawk, or gregness had a kill role due to the targets made and their level of activity/what they participated. you seemed to lay a little low, and I think you tried to lynch fawful? Those details made me think you had a chance at it since there we already knew several other roles.

Pretty much this is the most important thing.

[Fenris]

The only role that wasn't randomly assigned was IHMN's.

And I'm mentioning Oron and Bard there because based on their public posts I felt they played a better game than Greed -- who was too inactive in a way that felt obviously scummy as early as D1 and D2 -- and Ryanderman, who was legitimately called out on some slippage.)

I claimed SK since I was hoping people would believe the flipping bit, and also since it was pretty much legitimately unwinnable for me because of how Fenris made the untargettable person unlynchable accidentally. My next day would have gone, "I've been roleblocked!", and then I'd have to keep coming up with tenuous excuses as to why I'm not dead, also, keep lynching people who aren't me. Until just me and Karesh remain.

Also, I didn't kill Snake! That was totally Fenris's fault! I went for Nikose the night Snake got killed, and Fenris forgot and thought I said Snake.

Everybody roleclaimed their proper roles - Mafia was Bard, Nikose, Greed, Ryanderman, and Oron.

I gave cult the limitation of being unable to recruit mafiates (although they didn't know that), so I gave them two additional cultists. Totally didn't matter, though. They were SMB, Bob, and P_sleazy.

RPG was the SK. He could also not convert to town, and if you guys had voted no lynch, you would have been idiots.

Verifiedz wasn't even trying.

My roles:

The mafia had a special power that they could bring any non-mafiate back from the moon, if all of them were alive. Nikose confided in me that he was trying to get them to lynch Snake just so they could bring him back and confuse errybody. The purpose of this ability was for obfuscation. It was obviously never utilized.

Solid Snake was Zecora, who was NOT a miller, but a witch doctor. She could bring back anybody who was petrified or lost in the everfree forest. Then both happened to him night 2 so he wasn't able to do that, either.

Fun fact, is that I fucked up and accidentally sent RPG after Snake that night due to a pretty egregious typo in my notes. He had actually targetted Nikose that night, but was totes cool with me fucking that up.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders could attempt to mimic investigative, protective, and roleblocking powers each night. They had a chance of failure. 75% success if all 3 were alive (then Bookie got expelled), 50% if 2 were alive (the rest of the game), and 25% if only one remained. Funnily enough, they succeeded in protecting Revolving that last night, but greed 1) targetted Sifright, and 2) was roleblocked anyway.

Fawfulcopter was Pinkie Pie, who had a one-shot ability to cancel all night roles by throwing a huge party. He never did shit with it.

Fluttershy was immune to night roles - had he been investigated, I would have said something like "You don't even trust your good friend Fluttershy?" without giving role information. He was town, regardless.

Also, I had originally planned for the Whooves character to know the identity of a mafiate, but I decided last minute that was OP so I picked a random town-power. I then picked the worst possible town-power.

IHMN rocked the hell out of the Derpy Hooves role. No regrets in assigning that role to him.

Aldurin should never be let near a power role again. After that, the game was pretty much won for the mafia, but dumb luck pretty much fucked them over. The night before, RO successfully pegged greed, then Nikose got lynched, and then Bard and Ryander got hit. That night, RO also successfully pegged Oron, so the entire mafia was either killed or investigated in 36 game hours.

Then RPG roleclaimed cockatrice wtf

Oh, there were absolutely no vanillas in this game. Vanillas are stupid.

Man, you fuckers ask for a GM commentary/review of the game and then ignore it when I spend a good 45 minutes typing it up.

Thanks a lot.
