My Little Pony: Friendship is Mafia - Page 43

I actually got all the role PMs in on time!

Verifiedz has replaced Moogle.

-------------------

Rainbow Dash didn't like this. Rainbow Dash didn't like this one bit. As she flew over the night sky of Ponyville, a roaring laugh from one of the homes caught her ears.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie will not be laughed out of Ponyville this time!" the magical mare chortled to two diminutive colts.

"Yeah! The G. 'n P. T. is great! And, uh, powerful," the taller colt said.

"Snails!" the shortest pony cried, "Stop wasting time! We need to go find Rainbow Dash and bring her to Trixie!"

Far above, Rainbow Dash decided to get a little closer. She descended towards the house, in time to hear Snails reply, "Okay, okay! Just let me lock up, and-"

His sentence was interrupted however, by said cyan pegasus mare crashing through his window at an absurdly high velocity, scattering the belongings of the abode everywhere.

Rainbow Dash bolted from the building before the dust could settle, chastising herself the whole time for her lack of subtlety. "Stupid! Now I'll never figure out what's going on with Snips and Snails! And was that Trixie...?"

Coughing, Snips, Snails, and Trixie sputtered around. Trixie had no idea what had transpired, and neither Snips nor Snails clearly did, either.

"My mom is gonna kill me, eh? I better clean this mess up..." Snails said, dejectedly.

"Well! Snips and I shall head out into Ponyville proper and find Rainbow Dash ourselves!" Trixie commanded. "Let's go!"

"Your wish is my command," Snails replied, bowing.

"Just follow me, and don't speak!" Trixie said as she cantered out of the devastated Haus de Snails.

The duo began to head into the town, when a flash of movement caught Snips's eye by the forest. He quickly trotted towards the edge of the town to investigate. After all, it could have been Rainbow Dash!

Unfortunately for Snips, he was incredibly mistaken. The cockatrice he had disturbed had used its petrifying glare on him, and began turning him to stone. "Trixie! Hel-!" he cried, but it was too late. A Snips statuette was in place by the edge of the forest.

Trixie began to panic and fled the scene. A short while later, she ran into a stately mare.

"Are you lost?" the mare asked.

"No, but my fr-acquaintance Snips has been turned to stone by a cockatrice! Is there anything you can do to help The Great and Powerful Trixie?"

"I cannot do anything, but there is a zebra who lives in the forest who may be able to help your acquaintance. If you'll allow me to escort you, then we might be able to cure the colt."

Trixie never returned to Ponyville. She probably didn't even make it to the zebra.

------------------

You wake up this morning to find that Snips: P-Sleazy, Snails: Bob Dole, and The Great and Powerful Trixie: Smarty McBarrelpants are missing!

It is now Day 2. 18 remaining. 10 to "lynch." Deadline sometime!

I'm assuming Smarty was cult leader? I had trixie pegged for cult leader anyway, and that's consisten with the flavor text. The 'stately mare' would've probably been nightmare moon. Snips and Snails would've been cultists from the start, to give the cult a bit of a boost, but to counterbalance that, I guess the rule was that "all cultists die if the cult leader dies". Since smarty got targeted by the mafia, whelp. -1 cult.

What I'm uncertain of is if Snips' death was just flavor, or if the cocatrice is the serial killer and just happened to target p-sleazy in the same night that the mafia targeted Smarty. On the one hand, the flavor indicates that only Trixie and Snails died to the "stately mare", on the other hand, that'd be one hell of a coincidence, particularly since p-sleazy hasn't made much of a target of himself.

Also, this:. Nikose is either a very good guess, or he knows something.

Also also, Fenris, why did the town lose its lynch? I get that Bookie had to die, but why'd the town get punished because mafia forgot to put itself on invisible?

Gregness · 09-30-2011, 01:49 AM

So, can we draw any conclusions about roles from the flavor text? If there's three deaths, we can attribute one to the mafia, and one to the cockatrice (serial killer?). Where does #3 come from?

Gregness · 09-30-2011, 01:51 AM

What I mean is, can we draw conclusions about what roles there are in the game, not necessarily what people are.
