The Neopets Team woke up and made their way down to the lobby, stepping over and around the now-numerous bodies of their fallen friends. When they arrived and saw what was waiting for them, one thing was immediately clear:  they were not going to have a very good day.
   Two corpses were lying side by side, soaking in pools of blood. Buttons was sitting nearby, lapping it up with her tongue and staring at the troubled Team with a menacing glint in her eye.

snipereborn was The PR Guy, a member of the Neopets Team.


Thomas was The HR Guy, a member of the Neopets Team.


   "Tragic, isn't it?" Isa said, approaching the Team from behind with a smirk on his face.  "I was hoping we could have some fun with our last day together, but I don't suppose there's any point now."

Isa was a Viacom Lawyer.


   "What? You?!" Donna cried. "How could you do this to us? We trusted you!"
   "That was the idea."
   Shaking with anger, Donna produced a knife from her back pocket and charged towards Isa, but she didn't get far. A quick blur and a brief flash of steel swept past her, and she promptly dropped the knife and fell to the floor in pieces. Yaya appeared nearby, solemnly wiping Donna's blood off of his sword with a small cloth.

Yaya was a Viacom Ninja.


"Well, damn," jellsprout said. Yuggy punched him in the face.

Yuggy was a Viacom Brute.


Soccerboy tried to flee downstairs, but Yaya bounded in front of him and knocked him out with a swift kick. Silver/Darvince sat down and sadly began to ponder whether they belonged to the Neopets Team or the Stupid Plan Industry.
   "It looks like our work here is done," Isa said, kneeling down and patting his cat on the head. "Let them live," he added, gesturing to the frightened and unconscious Neopets Team members. "I'm sure the higher-ups will find something to do with them..."

jellsprout was The IT Guy, a member of the Neopets Team.



Silver/Darvince was The Game Developer, a member of the Neopets Team.



soccerboy13542 was a Vanilla Townie, a member of the Neopets Team.

The Viacom CEO was sitting alone in the boardroom, watching the sunrise and drinking a cup of tea, when there was a knock on the door.
   "Enter," he commanded. His new messenger scurried in, holding a folder full of paperwork and smiling.
   "Good morning, sir. I have some good news for you today."
   "I would expect nothing less."
   "Yes, of course, sir," his messenger said, rifling anxiously through his documents. "It's the Neopets job. It went off without a hitch."
   "Go on."
   "No casualties on our end. The clean-up crew is taking care of the office and the victims' families as we speak, and we've sent the three survivors to your labour camp in Albania. It appears there was a third party affiliated with some sort of gaming website. We've put them on our watchlist. Oh, and the bodies of the Neopets Team have been collected and preserved, as you requested. They're packed into a crate in the refrigerator on the second floor."
   "Wonderful. Have the assassins been debriefed yet?"
   "No, sir, they arrived only an hour ago."
   "Send them up, then. I'd like to do it myself."
   The messenger nodded, placed the documents down on the table, and scampered out of the room. Minutes later, Isa, Yaya, and Yuggy walked in.
   "My time is incredibly valuable, so this will be brief," the CEO said. "You did your jobs well. Good assassins are in short supply these days. Isa, your money has been wired to your offshore account, as per the arrangement. Yaya, a plane will be ready by tomorrow to fly you back to Alaska. And Yuggy, I understand that you didn't want your payment in cash?"
   "No, sir. There is only one thing I want..." the Brute replied nervously. "It's the Krabby Patty's secret ingredient. I must try it for myself."
   A smile curled upon the CEO's lips. "Yes, of course. It's in the refrigerator on the second floor. The chef will help you with the rest."
   The Brute's eyes welled up with joyful tears. "Thank you, sir."
   "Save some for me. Now, time is money," the CEO said, waving the assassins away. "I promised Lamar Smith a breakfast appointment, and I'd hate to keep him waiting. We'll contact you when we need your services again."
   The assassins nodded, bowed, and left the room. The CEO took a sip of tea and returned his gaze to the sunrise. "I always keep my promises..."

As well, congratulations to soccerboy, Darvince, and jellsprout for surviving to the end. Special thanks are in order to canadianstickdeath. I'll post the night actions and some comments later. For now, here is the link to the secret Mafia board, and I've made the graveyard accessible to read as well. Thanks for playing!

Night actions?

Harumbai is MVP. He didn't play his role very well but he was my only (strong) town read in the whole game. Harumbai, I believe that if you voted Isa in your first post on D2 then Isa would have been lynched on D3 after people saw your role.

Jazz, you are an ass. Permanently blacklisted.

Silver, I had a terrible experience playing with you in this game. You showed that you were not interested in playing the game by avoiding the game thread and posting in other threads. I have blacklisted you until you can show that you are interested in playing in any further games.

Kooler, permanently blacklisted. I did not expect anything better from you, anyway.

Yaya, so much for being pro-town when scum. But really, you were not even pro-town at all in this game. I am aware that you were busy with school and crap and I sure was as well but you didn't post very often or scum hunt. I believe you only got away with this given the number really bad players who were pro-town aligned.

jellsprout - Your play was not good compared to your play in the previous game where we played together. You just weren't pro-town and you and snipereborn gave Isa too much credit.

Isa - Well I am kind of impressed with your scum play in this game but I was not surprised your were scum. Not much to say but things could have turned out a lot differently if Harumbai had bread crumbed his guilty result on you because from there, it would probably be pretty obvious who your partners were. (I have been in the dead talk since the end of D3. A lot of us guessed your partners correctly there.) Oh and thanks a lot for attacking me for getting a claim from Silver. Would you have done the same as town? I don't see the problem with it. Anyway, good game.

Thanks Shavey, it looks like we owe part of our very quick win to you and that kill!

This is going to be my last Mafia game for a while. Over the past two games I've grown absolutely sick of it and it has shown in my game.

Thomas, you accuse everybody of being anti-Town. But how pro-Town were you? You forced a Townie to claim D1, you yelled at Townies and you didn't help find the Mafia at all.

Well... I knew I was never going to win so I guess its my plesure?

Same for me.
I've got college on now, which is really energy-draining. The mafia games also tend to be horribly, horribly boring. Boring-as-hell. The only time they're great is when a person makes a wall-of-text rant or theory or whatever, when a day ends and a new day begins and we get exposition and such.

Also **** you Thomas, **** you so goddamn much. You are the largest reason I went "screw this I'm outta here" to the game. I don't need to explain why.

I'm not going to be joining in the next mafia game - I've been in, what, five so far? I need a break.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I will avoid playing for a while here both because I'm blacklisted and I didn't really enjoy playing this game during the busiest time of the school year for me. I guess I will go back to mafiascum in June or something.

I did not say I was pro-town and I did not say everybody was anti-town. Harumbai had some amazing pro-town play. Did I force Jazz to claim on D1? I dunno but I guess everybody who has their vote on a player is part of this force that makes them claim. Hey, I was trying to get Yuggy lynched because he was obvscum.

Do you think you were pro-town or something? You gotta admit, your play was horrible. And don't blame me because I would not be attacking you if you were posting. It's your fault, not mine.

Sure, my playing was horrible. I've already said that some times in the game. But you didn't have to be all horribly aggressive about it, nor did you have to shove the fact in my face ALL THE TIME, nor did you have to say the horribly offensive things you said. I was lurking? It's called keeping tabs on the site while browsing others, I've also said THAT a million times, can you not get it through your system? Does it go in one ear and through the other? Or, to be more specific, do you read it, then instantly forget it the second after you finish the sentence? No, don't say anything, the answer was obviously yes.

Not to mention you also attacked anyone else participating in the game that was lurking.

Here, let me tell you something - drop the goddamn aggressive act, stop attacking people all the time, stop being so goddamn serious about a forum game, just stop it, stop it and everyone can be chill again.

Actually, here's a better idea - don't join the next mafia game you decide to participate in. You'll be doing some people a favor.

Ok, Calm down everyone.

I actually quite enjoyed the game, but it looks like I'll be the only one playing in the next one, I hope I get lots of abilities .

Alternative Endgame-

Neezles was the one behind every evil plot in the maphia.
              Neezles made members of Viacom and TNT to
       do evil things for the almighty Nurse Francine Neezloth.
      
--Team Neezles Wins!--

"HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAA I WIN AND U LOSE SUCKA!!!!" Neezles yells into her livio punch bag.
      Neezles presses a giant red of button of DoOoOoOoM and destroys the stupid Viacom and TNT.
    All players of maphia cry and whimper. They listen to their playlist of heartbreak and sad songs and
       chew on rocky road ice cream while watching "P.S. I hate you".
      Meanwhile, neezles is partying at maraqua with her underwater best friends, the drenched, sea slug and kataliss.

--The End!--

I don't know if you did admit your playing was horrible but I do know that you did nothing to improve. I guess I don't have to do anything but I can and did (attack you) because I do not want to risk losing to scum because they are lurking badly in the way you did. I have come close to losing to scum because they lurk. I don't care about this "keeping tabs on the site while browsing others" because it's not even true. You were posting in other topics on the site and ignoring the mafia game. I do not allow that so yeah, I guess I do have to attack you like that. I am certain you have not said this BS about tabs a million times or more, or even close to that number and no matter how many times you say it, nobody will believe it. If you were always on others sites then you would not be posting here at all. You posted here and purposely ignored the mafia game.

Yeah I believe I did attack other lurkers but they were not blatantly lurking like you or maybe they had excuses like soccerboy and the snow. Do you not see the difference here? Soccerboy had no power. YOU were ON THIS SITE but not posting in the game when you could have.

No, not when I'm playing with lurkers like you. Aggressive play styles can be good as well like that kuribo guy I played with on MS. He was so pro-town.

I dunno about that. I think there's more people who don't wanna play with you than me. Anyway, I may just be a replacement in a future game but I certainly won't be playing with any of those who are blacklisted in the near future.

Sorry for the four-day delay, by the way, but I wasn't expecting the game to end so suddenly either, lol. Also, to be honest, the flavour became a bit of a chore to write near the end.

The Mafia played well and definitely deserved to win. But the Town was also very unlucky, first when Jazz wasted one of the most powerful Town roles on the first day, and then when the Roleblocker was killed on the first night. Shavey killing Thomas sealed the deal. Isa played very well and was pretty much running the show, and I'd say Yaya did well in his mafia debut(?) too, although I agree his style seemed noticeably different. Also, snipereborn was a pleasant surprise; I didn't really know anything about him when he joined, but I'm glad he did. I liked the narratives while they lasted.

I understand Thomas's frustration with the inactive players, since they do make things a lot harder on the Town, but unfortunately that seems to be an inherent problem with Interguild mafia games: there is a very limited selection of members, and it doesn't leave room for many replacements. At the same time, I don't think it's reasonable to expect Interguild games to be similar to the ones on mafiascum. Half the players are under 14 years old. It works best here when it's treated like a fun, casual diversion, like in the first game. That's why your hyper-aggressiveness doesn't vibe well with everyone else.

Anyway, I think the Neopets Team actually still had a decent chance of winning on Day 3. If they had gone through with their attempt to lynch Yuggy instead of Shavey, then Yuggy probably would have wasted his suicide-kill ability on Thomas (if he used it at all), and Shavey may even have targeted Isa overnight. But Isa managed to defuse this situation.

As far as roles go, there were some that wound up being pretty useless, but overall (barring the bad luck) the Town was pretty powerful. The Mortician was made anticipating that Jazz and Shavey would be more successful with their kills. Silver wasn't a self-watcher, but a self-watcher+follower. Or something like that. If Thomas protected her, she would have seen "Thomas protected you," which is pretty handy.

Good game folks, longer shoutouts later.

Thomas, flaming is what causes everyone else to be less likely to play. You're making it less fun to play when you mindlessly bash others. This is coming from the Mafia and you didn't target anyone on our team with it, but it still impacts my willingness to play with you.  

Also http://secretmafia.proboards.com/index.cgi

I had half the posts. =p

I find it odd that during the Kooler lynch, which in my opinion was the worst play in the game, only one Mafia member voted.

Alright, so this game was pretty much a breeze for scum to play through. Town wanted to lynch inactives badly, leading to a very dumb day 2 from a town POV. The only one in town to make any kind of sense that day was Harumbai, which caused his demise. The rest of the town was busy wanting to lynch Silver despite claiming a town-only role. I cannot stress enough how glad I am that I was scum in this game, because if the Silver lynch had pulled through, I'd be so mad. As scum I had to convince half the town that a townrole made itself confirmed town and that it was poor play to try to lynch her. It obviously wasn't planned by Thomas and Silver either, just because it would have been such a poor idea. I didn't mention anything initially but then votes shifted BACK to Silver...

Day 1 was just a mess. My Shavey Dave case was sort of legit, but Jazz decided to troll the game instead of replacing out like CSD (what was up with that, btw? You hardly made a presence at all) leading to a very unneeded lynch for town. Other than that, nothing really happened. I noted that I was able to stay off the mislynch, but didn't put very much credit to it because I was a decently-sized part of the reason the wagon was created. However nobody had voiced any suspicions of me, Yaya or Yuggy apart from Shos who was slightly disturbed by Yaya earlier on, so we (at least I) felt overall safe. Shos was killed because having played with him he's...a wildcard. No offense shos, but your votes doesn't make sense all of the time. Coupled with him being the only one to act suspicious towards one of us, he had to go.
Shos turned out to be the Roleblocker which was a pretty good fakeclaim for us - even more so when we later found out that he roleblocked the Serial Killer when he was alive. (On a side note - I think that Shavey Dave should have claimed that he was roleblocked on day 1 when Yuggy claimed roleblocker, and made up some other role than Serial Killer. It'd cause an immediate Yuggy lynch and he'd flip Mafia, so Shavey Dave would get immense towncred. We may or may not have killed him for that, though.) Knowing that Shos targeted someone, there was of course a risk involved in claiming roleblocker, so I made up a plan for who we should have claimed to have roleblocked during the night. You can find it in our forum.
If I couldn't investigate someone during the night, I'd probably protect myself or Yaya from cop investigations. Knowing that I actually was targeted (more on that later), I realize that I was very lucky that night. I investigated Jell because I thought I'd get information on what their role was, but we only got to know their role name and alignment. The format of my investigation made it obvious that there was a third party in the game (and probably a Serial Killer, because of how the win condition in Yaya's PM was written [mine was different]). However, when day 2 failed to spawn a second kill, I thought that maybe there was a different kind of third party role around. By the start of day 3 I was convinced - two straight days without a Serial Killer kill was a bit too much. Kooler's role was confusing but explainable through Jazz killing ability.
Thomas was roleblocked because we figured that we could as well roleblock someone who we thought was a powerful player. It turned out decently.

Day 2...yeah, I am glad I was scum here. The wagon on Silver prior to her claim wasn't that bad, but it wasn't enough to spawn a lynch. That's why Thomas forcing Silver to claim followed by an instant unvote was so incredibly bad - he was the only one on the wagon who wanted to lynch Silver (indicative of non-town mindset - let's lynch and let's do it quickly), but as soon as he got the roleclaim, he said THAT'S A GREAT CLAIM and unvoted. When you ask someone to claim, it's because you want that person to die, and you should save power roles. Now, unvoting Silver was indeed the correct thing to do in that situation, but Thomas just said "I believe the claim" and left it at that, which made it very easy for me to pounce on him. If he had said "That's a believable claim because you cannot successfully fake it", which is probably what he meant, I would still vote him but not with as much energy (also yes, I'd vote you if I was town as well - everyone I voted for, I'd vote for if I was town, because they did suspicious things, all of them. Only exception might be Silver.). Now I got momentum against him, and the best thing was that it was just a few days before deadline.
Here's something that annoyed me. Thomas asked for a deadline extension and actually got it. This made me very frustrated. My push was very well timed - there was very little time to create a new wagon - but because of the extension, the wagon died and my efforts were for nil. There was no real reason to grant the extension to town if you wanted to be a neutral moderator - the extension heavily favored town.
Leaving that, Harumbai's play was weird, but interesting. He voted Silver, then had her as super town. He had Thomas as town, then voted him, then he was super town as well. He didn't give much of a reasoning, but it hindered me. Especially his push on Yuggy was discomforting, and I think that if town didn't derp around as much as they did with Silver (mostly looking at Snipereborn and Jellsprout here - both of you really should have known better, especially Jellsprout who's experienced with Mafia), a Yuggy lynch wouldn't have been impossible. That said, for being a cop, Harumbai played poorly. When you get a Guilty, you can either out yourself at once, or leave subtle clues that makes it easy for the others to find out who you targeted and what result you got if you were to die. Your play was decent in that you successfully got a townread on Thomas after I made a furious push on him, but your followup was not - that would have been a brilliant time to out me as scum. It'd confirm Thomas as town and give you a high chance of lynching me. You'd die during the night (Yaya could get around Doc protects), but you'd have done a fine job regardless. If you didn't want to out yourself, the best thing would probably have been to say "I do suspect X, but Isa is looking scummier. It's a gut feeling I have, can't really put words on it." frequently during the day. When you'd die town would be all in the clear for lynching me and drawing conclusions from there. I wouldn't go down without a fight, but I'd be in a bad position and town would get the very valuable scum lynch.
The Kooler lynch was bad. Kooler had lurked and jumped on a bandwagon, but he was a minor inconvenience to town. Everyone in town had very poor reasoning that basically boiled down to "Well Thomas is suspicious but he's more valuable than Silver/Kooler/Shavey Dave/Yuggy". This is such a bad argument - if he's scum, he sure isn't a valuable player for town. As town, if you're afraid to lynch powerful players, you'll never get anywhere. Look at the ones we actually lynched - Jazz, Kooler, Shavey Dave. When would the Isa/Jellsprout lynch happen? Day 4? Day 5? Never? Fact is, there is no time that's too early to lynch someone you believe to be scum. Lynching Kooler was awful because it was a compromise lynch where I don't think anyone really had him as his/her top suspect. Those lynches never flip scum. The best thing about it was that both me and Yuggy stayed off it.

Going into night 2, I was slightly more worried than yesterday. Harumbai was a hindrance to my Thomas wagon and pushed a Yuggy lynch heavily (and he might have gotten it if he outed himself), so it was obvious he had to die. Initially we thought that Yaya could kill and roleblock during the same night, but Dando told us we didn't, so we had to hope that he wasn't protected. He was obviously town for us as scum, but for some reason Thomas didn't protect his MVP. Thanks, Thomas! We owe you one.
Also noteworthy - day 2 was filled with small claims. Soccerboy claimed that his role wasn't in the list of usual roles that CSD posted over a year ago - this meant he wasn't the Cop, Doc or anything like that. He was quickly crossed from our roleblocking list. Thomas had indeed softclaimed a powerful role - you asked me if I noted it, and oh yes I did - but at least I figured that he could have had a chance of being the Serial Killer. The reasoning was that there was no kill the previous day, and we roleblocked him - connect the dots. If he would have claimed, I thought he'd claim vigilante. I figured though that since he appeared unmoved by his roleblock, he wasn't a good target. Furthermore, if he was the Vigilante, he would probably kill Shavey Dave or Soccerboy - if he was a Cop, he'd probably investigate Shavey Dave, his main target, and if he was the Doc...*shrug*. We might have roleblocked him a second night if it wasn't for Snipereborn - he said that he didn't think there were any weak targeting roles in the game remaining to test Silver's claim. This implies that he knows there's strong roles remaining. Therefore, we decided to roleblock him.
Knowing that my investigation powers were limited to finding out the name of someone and if they were a third party role or not, combined with Yuggy being suspected by quite a few, there was no option but to protect Yuggy. Not that it was bad either way...

Day 3 was interesting because we were essentially in LyLo - Yuggy could suicide and kill someone during day 4 granting us a new Night Kill to end the game - but unfortunately my townreads was still in the game. Forming a proper 3-man team of scum was hard. Fortunately, we didn't have any team speculation. Even more fortunate, Harumbai hadn't shown any particular suspicion towards anyone, and so wasted his cop ability. However, at last people started to be willing to lynch suspicious people despite posting frequently. I got a swift Thomas wagon going, meanwhile Snipereborn was mad at Jellsprout, Jellsprout was mad at everyone and Thomas insulted everyone. Town wasn't very likely to cooperate in this setting.
Now this I am proud of - I managed to get Thomas to claim without him suspecting me, and I managed to get Snipereborn to claim without him suspecting me. I had also gotten Jellsprout to declare me as obviously town...so I was set. No offense to Silver, Darvince, Soccerboy or Shavey Dave, but there's no way they'd get a lynch on me in with those names supporting me. I was also content that Yaya was seen as town. Yuggy wasn't viewed as favorably, but he played better during day 3 and the suspicions FINALLY rose against the more powerful players, so all was good.
Then Thomas claimed (which I suspected he would) and he claimed a possibly-scum-role of Doctor. This was good because it was highly possible to push for his lynch despite his claim. However Snipereborn's claim was a clear issue. Those roles are never given to scum (they'd be broken) and lynching a claimed Doc is hard. Getting a Jellsprout wagon here would be tough. And then BAM, Yuggy wagon. Here, I panicked for the first time in the game and outright told Yuggy to send in his PM:

I realized that this looked panicked though and unvoted, but I still thought it'd be for the best if he didn't waste our only fakeclaim. (During Night 3 I created two for me and Yaya - they're decent, you can find them in the forum.) I imagined that if Thomas would have been online at the time of the claim, he'd still drive through with the Yuggy wagon. It might have been successful. However, this didn't happen, and we got Shavey Dave to claim instead (btw town, take note - if four persons claim in the same day and it's not a massclaim, you're doing something wrong). When it was obvious that he was lying, everything was done.

Individual thoughts:

Jazz: Replace out instead of trolling if you're bored.
Shos: I can't say "Great play" but you managed to roleblock the Serial Killer on your only try, so nice work on that. If you're killed N1, you've generally done something at least partly right as well.
Kooler/CSD: Both of you lurked and left nothing to comment on. I am not very amused.
Harumbai: Actual play was good, but you misused your role. Remember to leave a clear path for town to follow once you've flipped. I seriously thought you investigated Shos, and Jellsprout thought you investigated Soccerboy or Yuggy - obviously, this isn't the message you wanted to leave. Good pushes on Yuggy though.
Shavey Dave: You were really unlucky with the night kills - first being roleblocked AND targeting the same player as the Mafia, then hitting someone who wouldn't die until the night after. I am surprised that you managed to live for so long though...you need to jump on fewer bandwagons. I'd vote for you even if I was town.
Snipereborn: While you were active and posted your thoughts, your had some very weird logic at times. Your theory about another killing role in the setup was far-fetched, I still believe (I was super surprised when Shavey flipped Serial Killer) and your Thomas-Silver links were obviously wrong. Work on your reads - I don't think you suspected anyone of the true Mafia except for Yuggy at the end.
Thomas: Flameshield ON.
Jellsprout: Bit of the same as Snipereborn. Your push on Yuggy was good though, but I am glad that it was defused. The Silver-Thomas thingymajig was obviously not good for you either.
Soccerboy: You made very little sense this game, I must say. You made a lot of statements that I couldn't really follow ("Thomas/the independent tried to kill me but failed!") and softclaimed early, which is not good at all for town. Stay more active and post your thoughts more. However, I really think that I'd have a townread on you if I were town - I didn't vote for you during the entire game.
Silver: Please do not lurk. Please post your thoughts. Please do not make excuses.
Darvince: *shrug* You didn't really do a lot. No real comment.

Yuggy and Yaya: TOWN DROOLZ VIACOM ROOLZ! It was fun playing with you both. Good job on winning!

Dando: Good game. I might analyze the setup (I think it's townsided, but there's so many roles that it's hard to tell), but overall, I am glad how you handled the game. Neat storyline. The only thing I wish for is more votecounts.

I fully agree with this statement.

I didn't really follow the mafia game, but I sporadically read a few posts, and Thomas you were the most annoying person playing.

Here are 2 posts that stood out to me as you being really annoying:

This one stood out to me more than any other post I read by you. Because Harumbai isn't as high in your personal ranks of member respect as Isa is, you're going to disregard what he said and instead listen to Isa? What? My immediate thoughts were, "well what if Isa is mafia?" Regarding someone else' opinion as less relevant because you don't respect them as much is stupid, especially when you don't know if the person you respect more is actually on your side. And then as it turned out Isa did end up being mafia.

This is a more consistent problem with you. Instead of laying out your thoughts in an organized manner so that people can clearly see your opinion, you just say that you think that some people are scum but don't really tell why, because you seem to think that people regard your opinion highly, and you don't really need to work hard to get your opinions across to other people. And additionally you're too aggressive. Instead of questioning people, it feels like you often just attack them. You always come off as being angry and taking yourself and the game too seriously, which is part of the reason why I would ever hesitate to play another game with you.

Further more, now that the game is over, you've gone on to attack Kooler, Silver, Yaya and jellsprout's play in your shutouts post.

Lol, I'm glad the only people who really suspected me were dead before they could do anything about it. I not going to say I did great, because I didn't even close, but I'm not gonna make any downgrading statements about me/Yuggy's/Isa's gameplay to a point where Thomas can whine about it for future occasions: Like without Isa, me and Yuggy were probably screwed.

I did have a difficult time adjusting to scum, because like whoever said so in the graveyard, I wasn't scumhunting at all. If I was town I would've pounced on Yuggy and pulled his pancreas' out his nose. I have played differently every game, that's no lie, but I was playing differently in a bad way this game. And it didn't help that I was so town that it hurt to stare too long in Game 3, and offered severe contrast to how I played this game. In the end, yeah I was kinda scummy. But nobody did anything about it, I mean I was flattered and let out an evil laugh when Snipereborn chose me to test his role out on. The only person who suspected me and stayed alive every day was Thomas, and he never followed up every time I made some ****poor excuse.

It helped greatly that we targeted older members, who influenced younger ones, came on more often, and usually made sense. I thought D4 would've been in shambles with the lack of authority and activity. I'm not gonna go critique all your plays, because I don't have the time and feel no need to start beefs with you. But if I did have to pick some players to at least non-threatingly comment on....

Silver: Nope, maybe next time. Don't explode so easily, that made you an easy punching bag. I understand you were frustrated, but it does really boil down to you made a commitment to play the game.
Kooler: Next ga- nah, forget it. He won't come on to read it anyways.
Shos: Sorry, I was kinda the one that suggested to lynch you. My habits of killing you N1 haven't faded from when I was an indie, lol. I'm not sure if somebody already said this, but my ration was you make good points, but you still act kooky enough to be dismissed or not surprise anyone about getting lynched.
Thomas: You were my least favorite player, and not even because you could've lynched me, lol. You approached stuff from a poor angle this game. You were aggressive in Game 3, but at least it wasn't out of rage, annoyance, or utter doucheness most of the time. I don't feel like digging, but some of your posts were just ridiculous. And I thought it was pretty pathetic that you blacklisted people. We're on a site with 15 active members, dammit. If you play anymore games here, you'll blacklist everyone but Art and Mozart625. I too agree I need a serious break from mafia, this game kinda brought me over the edge, but by refusing to play with/allow in game (the definition of blacklist is sketchy in my head) certain members, how do you expect to start another game in the future? I don't carry actions from previous games over too heavily when it comes to not liking players; every game is a new opportunity for failure.
Dando: Great hosting! No complaints, but that's probably because I'm no mafia veteran. The role/day/lynch flavors were a hilarious visual goldmine of absurdity (I think my favorite thing is shoving stuff down Shavey's throat, or the Mozart625 inclusion)

Good game. Nicely done Yaya. I definitely thought you were town. Next time...
Isa: I was mildly suspicious of you, but obviously I was more suspicious of other people. I have a feeling I'd be better at being a mafioso than trying to find them though. In future games, I'm going to hate lurkers less and try scum hunting more actively. I'll probably read some more games and figure out better defensive methods than just "stab your attacker in the face".

I told you all from the start it was Isa's turn, IDK why you all just didn't quick-lynch him right there, like, the logic was too sound.

lol @ csd. I have to say that this was an interesting game until day three. Jazz completely ruined the game in my opinion, but I still found it interesting enough since there were so many roles. the kooler lynch was seriously bad; and I have to say that i KNEW yaya was scum!! bah, I should've stayed alive. but two different players targetted me, am I so mean?

thomas, you really need to drop the respect meter lol. in most places, nobody really gives a poop about that.

Still wanna know why you replaced out.

I think it'd be interesting to host a game... it doesn't require as much activity xD
also, this game was really messed up compared to the other ones.
