Vote Count D5#1:

FirstTurnKill (7) - Silly_Dragons, Zokorad, Monoredburn, Freddeh, vrcngtrx69, Tevish_Szat, FFP,

Not voting (6) - azuro_arcanis, razorborne, FirstTurnKill, PeregrineV, TheOneWhoCallCrow, Rubik


With 7 votes, FirstTurnKill is lynched.

The guards seem mildly amused. Day has just dawned and they're asking what everyone wants for breakfast. More than half of you state that you want a FirstTurnKill sandwich.

Shrugging indifferently, the guards acquiesce and escort FTK off for a mind wipe.

The rest of the day passes quickly, almost as if by magic, and before you know it, it's time for bed. You all go to bed sleeping easier, knowing that FTK, aka
Mafia aligned vanilla goon is off for a mindwipe.

It is now Night 5.

Deadline for night actions is Saturday the 16th at 10am Pacific time.

Flag Ahlyis February 16, 2013 10:56 AM PST
Yet another glorious day dawns on all of you... well, all but poor FTK. It seems you meanies killed him permanently.

The guards are wheeling someone back into the room though. It seems that Zokorad, who you all previously knew as
Mumbling Man, Freaking Nutjob (Town aligned "Charismatic") has been mindwiped in the night. He's only half the man he used to be, but that's more than some of you can say.

Please welcome him back into the group.


It is now Day 6. With 12 alive, it takes 7 to force an early lynch.

Deadline for Day 6 is Thursday the 28th at 10am Pacific time.

Player list:
1) azuro_arcanis -- TOWN: all first-life Scum are dead.
2) Tevish_Szat -- TOWN: Investigated
3) Zokorad -- Possible SECOND Scum: If no scum existed before he got a new life, game would have ended.
5) Feroz-s_Familiar_Pheldy -- TOWN: all first-life Scum are dead.
6) Rubik -- TOWN: all first-life Scum are dead.
8) PeregrineV -- Possible Scum: Got a new life since last mafia death
9) Freddeh -- TOWN: Investigated
10) razorborne -- Probable Town: Scum report no new member at this time
11) TheOneWhoCallCrow -- TOWN: all first-life Scum are dead.
13) vrcngtrx69 -- Unlikely Scum: Scum of this era accounted for.
14) Silly_Dragons -- Possible Scum: Flipped at an awkward point in chronology.
15) Monoredburn -- TOWN: all first-life Scum are dead.

It is my opinion that we should lynch Silly, VRC, or PV today.  I'm not so much for a Silly wagon because of how he drove FTK's wagon.  Based on what we know of mechanics and flips, I find PV a better lynch that VRC.

VOTE: PV

First-Life Scum Death Count: 3 mafia, 1 SK
Second-Life Scum Death Count: 2 mafia

There might be 1 more mafia in the setup, or there could be two or one and a neutral-hostile.  The possibility of just one makes Zoko a less tempting lynch, considering we KNOW he couldn't have been the lone scum as of the end of yesterday.

There is still a chance for a 1st life mafia, if and only if they did not post at all.
Also FFP did claim he accidentally claimed Town.  He may be self or mafia.  He denied being Big G.

FTK when he became mafia, posted anonymously as Hypolita.  I new it was someone else as I was hypolita. 

PV seems to be the most likely candidate as mafia.  

Razor, Silly, Myself are next if PV flips town.

If mafia still exists after PV flips mafia, most likely it will be Zoko.

Flag Tevish_Szat February 17, 2013 9:50 AM PST
FFP has a no-lie policy.  The only exception is that he MAY lie about being asked his alignment point-blank.  However, he still usually evades telling his alignment rather than lying about it.  "Accidentally claiming town" is simply claiming town contrary to his normal habits.

Not voting (3) - azuro_arcanis, TheOneWhoCallCrow, Rubik


With 7 votes, PeregrineV is lynched.

The guards are happy that at least we got through breakfast before the day's victim was chosen. Indifferent to his pleas, the guards escort PeregrineV, aka Whisper of Wind, Invisible Man (Mafia aligned limited ninja) off for a mindwipe.

Wait Silly_Dragons calls. He's the last bad guy. Let us go. We're all good people here. We've done what you asked of us. I personally ensured all the bad guts are gone. LET US GO!

The head guard just stops and stares at Silly for a moment. Then he doubles over in hysterical laughter. After a few moments he gathers his composure back together and continues to escort PeregrineV out of the ward for his mindwipe. Almost casually the group hears a final comment as the guards leave the ward... "Think they know everything. The poor fools."

Here's the link to the master Mod thread which contains links to almost everything about the game. The only thing missing is the specific text of each role: www.quicktopic.com/48/H/dZbHZBSzn4r

I can post the full role info once I get in to work on Monday.

As for MVP awards, I'm only going to give out 1. Tevish_Szat earns the second life Town MVP. His extensive analysis when coming back from first life Mafia is what got Town started on the winning path. His play throughout his Town life was strong.

I'd like to give Vrcngtrx69 the first life Mafia MVP. Some of his play there was simply brilliant. But most of it was forced on him thanks to his terrible play before that point. So it's kind of a wash and he only gets an honorable mention.

---Anger filled diatribe redacted.---

Anyway, congrats to the Town. Once Tevish came out and handed you guys so much information, Mafia were in pretty dire straits, but kudos for you guys on not letting up and continuing to lynch one Mafia after another.

I want to urge again that Zokorad be BANNED from playing in further games here at Px2. I don't give a damn how hopeless you think your team's cause is, that's NO EXCUSE for that type of behavior. And this is far from the first time he's done it. I see a huge difference between why Tevish got modkilled and Zoko did. Zoko willfully ignored the rules and commited a well known modkillable offense, one he's been warned multiple times in the past about. Tevish accidentally revealed hidden game info outside the thread. there was nothing intentional about it.

If you cannot play by the rules, you shouldn't be allowed to play. that's my feelings on it anyway.

Anyway, congrats to the Town. Once Tevish came out and handed you guys so much information, Mafia were in pretty dire straits, but kudos for you guys on not letting up and continuing to lynch one Mafia after another. Town deserved this win and most likely would have gotten it even if Zoko hadn't forced the issue.




Unfortunately I make accidental posts a lot because I have a special method I placed into my computer when I use post with delay that occasionally does not work.
The funtion allows me to click a timer of days and then DELAY POST and the post is automatically made after that amount of days.  This time, I accidentally clicked immediate post which was an unhacked option which gave me the unfortunate choice beetween committing 1 of 2 offenses.  I have pretty much learned just now that the function should not be used in Mafia games but by the time I learned it was too broken to be used in Mafia games it had broken itself in 2 games.  I do have a button for cancel delayed post.  The main purpose was to place my cards in ymtc later so I can step up in the spoilers withs delays in them.  However I thought I might use this to get my Night time posts together to set them out just as day starts.  NOw I promise in these group forum I will stop using this function thjat has a chance of breaking.  It seems to be glitched lately.

Tevish accidentally used his alternate QT account which he was using as Mafia here, to create threads and posts for his Twilight Zone Mafia game. Only I apparently noticed that the Mafia QT was created by his alt, but when he posted to the thread itself using the alt, he tried to delete the post. Unfortuantely for him, people subscribed to the thread had already received a copy via email.

Eventually someone put 2 and 2 together and deduced that Tevish must be Mafia in Schizo, but they weren't sure what to do about it since they got the info through outside the game means. Rather than put the onus on them to decide how to handle the info, I simply killed Tevish. I had already discussed it with Tevish earlier, so he knew that if his slips caused a problem, he was likely to get modkilled.

For anyone willing to at least look through the Mod Notes thread (it's only 4 posts long), I'd appreciate any feedback on the various comments I made as the game went on. You don't need to follow the links to all the other threads if you don't want, but feedback on teh info in the main Mod thread would be nice.

I don't know if I really did anything exceptional, but it was interesting that the game fell apart for scum at the first scum death, to a degree such that it seemed comical at times, especially when we went with the fastest speedlynch I have ever seen.

I think, largely, it's because we decided to post with 'pen names' rather than as anon.  That rather directly led to my demise, and created a stronger analysis of mafia-aligned players later.  The overall system for keeping the mafia from totally crumbling was sound, the mafia just didn't use it well.

I'm also glad I got a chance to use my "Fake a meme posting restriction" scheme.  Of course, I found it's next to impossible to keep making posts under such a restriction... harder than I thought, by a longshot.  Not going to see a repeat performance of that from me.

An enjoyable and good game all around!

I think this game was too tilted toward town. The mafia's inability to effectively coordinate took away a lot of their power, and on top of that the massive amount of info gained by a scum flip meant that as soon as one of them died they were basically screwed, and that was much harder than normal to avoid.

It would have been fine if all of the preventative measures the mafia eventually implemented were there from the start and actually followed. But that would have taken an extreme amount of foresight.

Your death and analysis made it easier for me to make a bogus claim.  I should have skipped my night action but got greedy

Grats on MVP Tevish!  I liked the memes, if only for bringing some chuckles to the thread.

I do think that in a game like this, anonymous posting of mafia should be required up front, rather than suggested.  It's one thing to have to extract post timing and writing analyses from players all talking with the same name -- it's just a much easier thing to directly associate disparate names.  I feel like once any mafia died (it just happened to be Tevish), the game would go downhill sharply for them.  Either that, or at least a larger amount of power roles for mafia, as I mentioned in the "dead players" QT.

I had trouble getting interested in this game. it usually helps if I have a cool role, but this one was kinda meh. I then decided to make the best out of it and after I had accidently claimed town, I thought it would be best if I remained an un-nightkillable townie, making it for the mafia that extra bit harder to win. also I got some fun out of my posting restriction.
it is distressing though that people didn't even bother to read the few posts that I've made. my initial "town-claim" post didn't find attention by anyone and even my second post where I stated that I've claimed town earlier flew past the radar of almost everyone and nobody seemed to bother anyway.

Well, for what it's worth, I thought you were town. And it didn't really matter after a while because we killed all the first life mafia, so everyone who hadn't died yet was confirmed town.

even then, a lot of the mafia's strength comes from coordination. if you have to hide your identity from your fellow mafiates, you lose the ability to do that, to steer lynches away from your teammates, and so forth. even the trap-post thing would've given away the mafia's identities to each other if they hadn't abandoned ship when the current vote leader made it. if, say, I had made that post, then when Tevish died he could've easily identified everyone who suddenly started pushing for my lynch as scum. there's just no profitable way to use the mafia's numbers to help you when you need to hide behind a veil of secrecy. it just makes you into an SK collective.

Peregrine did not have a third life. Only razorborne did.

Razorborne's initial role, in retrospect, should have been Self aligned that wins with Town instead of straight Town aligned. The purpose of making him Town instead of Self was to avoid the very small chance that all power roles were gone by the time he died and the next life on the list was the no second life slot. If he had been pure Self, he would lose instantly just for trying to follow his role, which was why I made him Town. But making him Town technically forced him to act against his alignment. Self aligned, but wins with Town would've been just plain better all around.

I also want to mention something that someone said during this game which should probably be addressed.

It's related to the use of Google to locate QTs that are a primary communications tool in Mafia games.

It's pretty common practice to use the QuickTopic website to facilitate the hidden communication of the scum team in a most efficient manner.

However, QTs are on a publicly accessible website, and so is the data within them.

While there is no enforceable rule about trying to find the QT for a specific game, especially by user-name, it really does go beyond the metagame and ruins the spirit of the game.

The purpose of playing mafia is to challenge oneself, to either catch the mafia team, or fool the town.

Finding out Tevish is scum because I diligently searched the InterWeb and located his name and thus his teams QT is not novel, and definitely goes against the spirit of the mafia game.

It's not really possible to prevent players from doing so, but if you want to know that badly, it's best to contact the Game's Moderator directly and excuse yourself from the actual playing of the game. You will then be privy to all the setup and knowledge they care to share, but without ruining the game for the other players.

I'd like to hear thoughts and feedback on this from everyone, since I know anyone that has played often has already thought of this, but with the influx of new/new-old players, I'm curious what others think.

This is not a problem. We've had this discussion before.

Search engines do not plug in every possible url extension for www.quicktopic.com an see which ones are valid pages. That would take an impossibly long time and is stupid and silly to do. Rather, they find results by crawling through web links. Thus, a private quicktopic thread will never find its way onto google until somebody posts a link to it in a place that is publically viewable. As long as the quicktopic link remains in a PM, then you won't be finding it, unless you happen to guess the randomly generated URL which is unlikely. Of course, there still is a problem if someone leaks the quicktopic thread somewhere publically viewable prematurely. But that's their own fault and then we ban them or give them a paddlin' or a stern talking to or something.

TL;DR: Not a problem.

I only bring it up because it happened to me. I had a QT with notes about a game or something, and a Px2 player dropped in to say hello after having found the QT from googling my username.
