Minr Mafia XXII - Spirits (Game Over)

[Robert Blake]

Oof

EDIT: well... I'm out of ideas

 

[Victor Pritchett]

Welp 4 innocents, 1 independent, and 2 mafia left. This is going to be super clench. I also want to point out that Doyle said that mafia members will probably be the most silent, I disagree. When I've played other games similar to this, the most successful mafia member talks very actively. It draws suspicion away from them. So here, any level of activity or lack of shouldn't be counted against anyone at this point. Also we have hung a number of "silent" people and they have all been innocent.

 

[Robert Blake]

Depending in the neutral's win condition, we might still win
Can the neutral please say who they are?

 

[Lord Boreal]

Ford Prefect is the independent in this game. His role is a "Stowaway", which could help either the mafia or the innocents. He has an ability that can only be used two times; When used, Prefect will go on alert, killing anyone who visits him that night. On night 4, either Frankenstein or Lindbergh visited Prefect while he was on alert, while the other was killed by a mafia member. I'm fairly certain the mafia already knows about this, so I think it's good to reveal it publicly. Prefect says he wins the game as long as he simply survives, regardless of the surviving faction.

 

[Ford Prefect]

For reason to be revealed very soon, #vote Constantine.

 

[Lord Boreal]

#vote Dr. Constantine

 

[Lystacrl]

#vote Dr. Constantine

 

[Lord Boreal]

And that, dear friends, is GG

 

[Meriadoc]

#vote Lord Boreal

:'(

 

[The Conductor]

This is the end. The end of everything. The seventh night, it has been decided in a secret meeting between the mafia and Prefect mere minutes earlier, was the night of the coup. Now, it was time. The innocents had been gathered (all but one) in the dining carriage - the area that had served as their meeting place for the whole week. Only six remained. Robert Blake lay dead in the neighbouring carriage, having been dispatched earlier that night.

Breaking the stillness, Prefect stood up. He walked over to the chalkboard they had been using to tally votes and scratched Dr. Constantine's name, alongside his own. Then Boreal and Lystacrl did the same. It was only then, when Boreal turned around with a smile on his face that Meriadoc realised what they had done. Weakly, he tried to rise from his seat only to be slammed back down by Boreal, their de facto leader.

It was no use now. This train belonged to the mafia, and the occupants - dead. Constantine was out the door in an instance, but the trio were not about to give up yet. They chased him to the engine carriage, where the fire roared within the engine (it was stoked every night for warmth). With nowhere to go, Constantine was trapped. The mafia, sparing no mercy, promptly threw him to the flames.

Robert Blake, the Innocent SOULMATE, was not invited to the end!

Dr. Constantine, the Innocent SOULMATE, has been fed to the flames!

While the mafia were gone, the remaining two innocents - Meriadoc and Pritchett quickly barricaded the door from the front of the train. They hear the screams, the ghastly screams of someone burning. Realising that neither of them have a weapon - and that without one they would all be toast, Meriadoc quickly rushes out to the kitchen carriage to grab a knife or two. After a while, Meriadoc comes back. Pritchett was surpised at the delay, but nonetheless lets him over the barricade. Lystacrl and Prefect come rushing into the room, only to be confronted to with the barricade. Pritchett motions to Meriadoc to give him a knife. After a brief pause, he obliges. Meriadoc receives a knife - to the face.

Meriadoc, the Innocent PASSENGER, was mimicked and replaced - and endgamed!

Victor Pritchett, the Innocent PASSENGER, has been tricked by the illusion - and endgamed!


Only silence filled the train. The_Fire_Ghoul reverts from his Meriadoc disguise, his mimic ability had been put to good use. Bailey and pooka join him in centre of the carriage. Among the rooms, lay bodies and the shattered intentions of the good. Another job completed successfully - even if everyone didn't make it out alive. Some were sacrificed, but for the greater good - a fatter wallet.

The_Fire_Ghoul, Lord Boreal, the Mafia MIMIC, has seized control of the train - and won!

Bailey06, Lystacrl (formerly Meriadoc), the Mafia INHIBITOR, finished the job - and won!

thepookabear, Ford Prefect, the Independent STOWAWAY, has aligned with the Mafia - and won!

Reserved - Commentary

EDIT 7th April 19: I totally didn't forget to do this no.

 

[Alphaesia]

Thanks for playing everyone!

 

[thepookabear]

Gg guys. Was a fun one.

 

[Schylah]

Good round and I want to thank Drahmee who swapped with me mid game. It was fun watching.

 

[Fire]

Thank you all for a fun game, to my partners Bailey and lomour for making this an effective team, and to Pooka for agreeing to help us out (under the threat of death but sshhhh).

The innocents made some big mistakes and oversights that would have made the game a lot harder for us, if not done us in. But I’m sure The Conductor will point those out when he edits the commentary in. The Inquisitor role I went by as my alibi was completely made up; I was actually the Mimic—the reason behind several people posting things they didn’t say themselves.

Over the entire course of the game I continually updated a document listing out all of the information we know, what people’s actions were, their role, their true identity, etc. It also includes every role we were able to discover (which was all of them), along with an explanation of them. I know all of this will be included in Creepa’s posts above, this is just to show what the mafia was able to discover. Here it is: link

I’m going to go ahead and guess everyone else’s identity, just to see how many I can get correct. The ones marked in green I’m certain of (thanks to Montalbano). I, Bailey, and Lom aren’t in here because we’ve been revealed already.
ajs626 — Robert Blake
awkward_hamster — Peregrine
Drahmee — Arthur Doyle
ElectroUnderwear — Montalbano
Jaybrain — Hercule Poirot
luckylukecraft — Moriarty (the very first one, who swapped with Dr. Constantine night 1)
ninjaman10p — Barton Hepburn
Ninja_Cat_ — Charles Lindbergh
picklesthecheeta — Dr. Constantine (and then Dr. Frankenstein after night 2)
Pixiface — Howard Lovecraft
Pro_Luma — Dr. Frankenstein (and then Victor Pritchett after night 3)
rickyboy320 — Mrs. Coulter (before being taken over by lom)
rmanimal — John Parry
Squidyerser — Mr. Fitzgerald
swimmy1212 — Victor Pritchett (and then Meriadoc after night 5)
thepookabear — Ford Prefect
TinyYanny — Lystacrl (and then Moriarty’s dead body after night 5)
Zatharel — Monsieur Bouc

Hope I’m right on most of those. Big thanks to Creep and Grave for hosting, and for a very interesting setup!

 

[picklesthecheeta]
