Though I'm sure she would disagree.

 

[Clem J]

Will definitely play here again if pinged on discord or something for it, not sure how often I'm gonna be checking this site now that this game is over lol

Sorry for the tunnel @JaggedJimmyJay

Sorry for the tunnel @JaggedJimmyJay

It’s fine. I deserve it if I’m going to be calling mafia town reads!

 

[potentialsheltervet]

What if... AM, Santy

Ah, the semi-accurate paranoia POE.

 

[WildZoo]

Ah, the semi-accurate paranoia POE.

I noted that in mod chat!

 

[potentialsheltervet]

I guess even if I'd been able to convince others to vote AM the game still would've been over since she was an alpha, and there was tbh no way anyway was going Santy before her.
Rough game.

 

[SportPonies]

Kay yeah wouldn’t have gone for Santy, but at least I was right about my AM read 😡

 

[kaydubs]

I second what DubZ said. This has been one of the nicest games I’ve seen in a long time and may have renewed my faith in WW on our forum. (I have been planning on a permanent leave).

Thanks to @NateTheLesser @JaggedJimmyJay @Empire @Clem J and @Santygrass for joining us.

Til next time.

 

[bluestoat]

Broken game still pretty fun, broken games in a more laidback/casual setting aren't really something to get too upset about imo

I like you

 

[potentialsheltervet]

Kay yeah wouldn’t have gone for Santy, but at least I was right about my AM read 😡

You and me both

 

[supershorty]

Santy has very cozy pockets. Can vouch.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

I feel much happier that AM shot me rather than it being a fellow villager 'cuz I was going to light someone on fire if they'd used their vig shot on me

 

[Empire]

the one bit of feedback i would submit is that the instant day ender as a wolf role is just really not fun in any way, imo

having the ability to play the game ripped out from your hands just makes it feel like everything is a waste, even if it hadn't led to the game ending immediately i still wouldn't like it

 

[Clem J]

I like you

Ty I like me too

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Be proud of your Mafia home, SDN. Whatever’s happened here before, you have a great group of people and a creative collective mind for the game. It’s a privilege to have had a chance to take part.

Night 3

Ask not for whom the bell tolls...

There is something comforting about consistency. Day in, day out, the great bell of the striking clock in the heart of London was a reliable marker of the passage of time. For over a century and a half it had rung every hour. You could almost take it for granted. But when morning came, and that familiar sound was not heard, it felt like an omen. It felt like the end.

Spoiler: Dead is...

@Empire, who was Big Ben, an innocent child

Four players remained. It was now quite easy to pick out the two villagers. They were dazed, confused, rocked by the feeling that time had accelerated faster than their molecules, let alone their minds, could keep up with. Meanwhile, the wolves looked at them, amused expressions creeping across their faces. One, who had appeared at first glance to be a neurosurgeon with magical powers, upon closure inspection was actually wearing a pirate hat, and had a hook for a hand. He had a nervous tick, that seemed to intensify anytime a clock was nearby. Odd.

View attachment 360205

The other, ostensibly a writer with a lot of neat ideas about time travel, was revealed to be a clock herself. It's actually quite surprising these two managed to work together. But work together they had, and to deadly effect.

And so Captain Hook and Miss Minutes took the Rolex in hand, and used it to smash The Great Pumpkin into pieces, before throwing the watch in front of an oncoming bus. Time had officially run out.

Spoiler: Dead are...

@Truenamer, who was The Great Pumpkin (it's that time of year after all), a villager who each night could target someone, locking their vote 24 hours into the next day cycle
and
@JaggedJimmyJay, who was Rolex, a village watcher

Spoiler: The Big Reveal...

Santy why

 

[Santygrass]

I woke up and chose MURDER

 

[Santygrass]

Also ggwp! Was a nice game regardless, I agree we were super strong. Both Day End but specially the alpha wolf was super strong.

AM could out themselves super comfy, our wincon was literally me not being yeeted and I could use my packmate as a meat shield, too stronk

 

[Santygrass]

Also Jay is never trusting me again ;-;

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Also Jay is never trusting me again ;-;

Truth be told, I probably will. I’m conceited enough to think I can town read anyone.

 

[Lawpy]

Will definitely play here again if pinged on discord or something for it, not sure how often I'm gonna be checking this site now that this game is over lol

Pleased

Noted for sure!
It was not a role that has been used here in...a long time (I'm guessing most of the current players actually have never seen it here). Felt like experimenting. Forgot how to count But definitely I can understand the perspective that it's not a fun thing to play with even in a scenario where it's not broken from a balance perspective.

It was actually used earlier this year- by you, as a villager. And by me, as a villager.

Still a very powerful ability, but much much much less so.

I’ve used it a couple times but only as a village ability. I know it was in HoWWrses but I think it was in a more recent game than that.

 

[kaydubs]

We use night cancel more commonly here rather than day end

I was thinking that for this reason in this setup (in a universe where wolves only had the 1x vig shot and not the early day close for example), it would have been beneficial to do what Zenge did before in Casino and have the alpha revealed as such upon the failed yeet.

 

[Truenamer]

Oh whoops, right. It was night cancel that I had.

 

[WildZoo]

Oh whoops, right. It was night cancel that I had.

Yeah jeez, my memory isn't that bad

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

It’s funny that if you trace events, the game was lost as soon as I watched the Night 1 kill. Nate was always dying Day 2 even if he didn’t admit to his visit. I would have “outed” him myself.

Mafia is a weird game sometimes. But we play it anyway!

 

[WildZoo]

Yeah could have been in a more recent one, but I don't think in any in the last 2 years, which is when most of the current active people started playing.

Just like the skeleton army, which I will now keep in my back pocket for another 8 years...

Definitely not the first time I've rushed a game design and then went "Oh...oops", probably won't be the last. Think I have one every year that I wish I'd given more time to marinate lol

 

[Animal Midwife]

Now I have to learn how to breathe normally again.

@JaggedJimmyJay your readslists experiment took 3 years off my life.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

Really fun to play with all the new people! Selfishly pleased I read Nate and Sporty correctly.

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

Definitely not the first time I've rushed a game design and then went "Oh...oops", probably won't be the last. Think I have one every year that I wish I'd given more time to marinate lol

Think nothing of it. I’ve hosted a crapload of games and had some goof-ups of my own. And I said myself in the game that 12 is probably the hardest number to get right.

 

[Aprilthearab]

@JaggedJimmyJay your readslists experiment took 3 years off my life.

I actually really liked that and would love to see it used in future games

Tbh if Santy hadn't been a ninja that would've helped a whole lot, I think. Having the setup where JJJ could watch the NK correctly and not get any info is... not great, imo.
And even if he'd seen AM kill samac, then we still wouldn't have been able to yeet her because alpha.

I liked your 8:2:2 mention

 

[supershorty]

That's literally the point of a ninja though.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

That's literally the point of a ninja though.

I understand that. I'm saying in this particular setup it feels overpowered.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

I think the point is @samac you need to be wolfier

 

[JaggedJimmyJay]

I liked your 8:2:2 mention

If you want to see an uncivil JJJ, surprise multiball is a great recipe

 

[Aprilthearab]

I actually really liked that and would love to see it used in future games

I can tell from the reacts that this is an opinion I hold alone

Oh see that was a nod to my hatred of mechanical solves. But fair enough with that foil, probably would have been good for village to have another info-gathering role of some sort.

 

[potentialsheltervet]

Surprise multiball is pretty much the only multiball we have here
You should go read the 10th anniversary game. That was a wild ride.

 

[supershorty]

I don't think so. AM said something similar at some point!

 

[SportPonies]

I was driving myself crazy trying to read True though. Terrible.

His meta was accurate. My paranoia was not.
