This...can't be good.

Ichimaru Gin, a rebellious skaa, was killed in the night.

mail-mi, a rebellious skaa was killed in the night.  There is a small hole through his chest and out his back.  A bloody coin lays nearby.

[ashersky]

Vote Count 7.0:

Not Voting (4): Witherweaver, chairs, Twistedarcher, gkrieg13

With 4 alive, it takes 3 to lynch.

[Twistedarcher]

Well that's not great. I think we need to lynch today, too.

[Twistedarcher]

Hm. I think if Gkrieg is third party, the game's already lost? We definitely have another mafia player from the two kills last night. Going thru a lot of possibilities here.

If he's third party, and we lynch town, we have 1 town/1 third party/1 mafia. Maybe they shoot each other in the night though, but it's tough to say.

If he's third party, and we lynch mafia, we have 1 third party/2 town. Gkrieg shoots town and wins.

If he's third party, and we lynch third party, we have 1 mafia/2 town. Mafia shoots town and wins.

If he's town, we have 3 town/1 mafia.

If he's town, and we lynch mafia, we win.

If he's town, and we lynch Gkrieg, we have 2 town/1 mafia. Mafia wins.

If he's town, and we lynch non-Gkrieg town, Gkrieg still has a 50% chance to win it for town in the night. 50% he chooses wrong and town loses.

If he's town, and we no-lynch, he probably dies tonight, but he has a 33% chance to shoot correctly. If he hits, we win, if he misses, we lose. From the last two scenarios, I think we can say that we want to lynch today if he's town 100%.

[Twistedarcher]

If he's third party, and we no lynch, we have 2 town/1 third party/1 mafia. I think it's safe to assume mafia is shooting Gkrieg at this point, so he dies in the night, and Gkrieg, even aiming for mafia, has a 33% chance to win it for town aiming randomly. Yeah, I think if we no lynch, the only way we win is by Gkrieg shooting mafia tonight. Which, while possible, isn't what I want to bank the game on, especially since we can still win even if we lynch non-Gkrieg town tonight.

So we need to lynch out of Chairs, WW, TA today. Obviously not advocating lynching myself, I need to re-read to see who out of Chairs and WW I want to lynch, but I think we should 100% lynch today.

[Twistedarcher]

Oh, Chairs, why didn't you post in the neighborhood last night? And now it's locked. It looks super suspicious to me.

Here's what happened last night: Night started, I posted in the QT asking if it was locked, got no reply from Ashersky, made a short post in the QT, never heard from Chairs in it. QT was locked at day break.

[Twistedarcher]

Gkrieg's V/LA starting Monday, so if we could get a lot of the work done this weekend, that would be great. I'm afraid we may just end up no lynching due to his V/LA, though.

[ashersky]

He took one last look at the band, now so small, now so definitely overtaken by the Lord Ruler.  Kelsier isn't infallible, he realized, but didn't let it discourage him.  As long as there was reason to fight, he would fight.

He turned, dropped a coin off the edge of the wall, and jumped.  As he soared across the sky, he tossed another coin, then another, bounding his way further into the bright sun, leaving another lost cause behind...

chairs, the Survivor-aligned Doctor, has been endgamed.
gkrieg13, the Survivor-aligned Inamorato who snapped and became Mistborn, has been endgamed.

The Lord Ruler's Voice (Twistedarcher), Anger (2.7), Grimace (EFHW), Fist (Witherweaver), and Snitch (Hydrad) have won!

[ashersky]

As some will see in the speccy (http://www.quicktopic.com/51/H/eFXKfKcsRex), I thought there was an edgecase, then decided there wasn't, then thought I'd let the game play out anyway, then realized that was probably mean.

Mafia Role PMs:

Welcome to Mistborn Mafia, XXXXX. You are the Lord Ruler's Voice.

You are no idiot. You know what it takes to survive. And what it takes is hitching your wagon to the strongest horse. That's why you found a way to ingratiate yourself with the Lord Ruler, even though you don't have a bit of allomancy in you.

At night, you may talk with all the Lord Ruler's followers here: QT Link.

You, and only you, may also talk in the factional QT during the day.

At night, you may perform the factional kill. This is in addition to your role power.

You win when only the Lord Ruler's followers are alive, or nothing can stop that from happening.

---

Welcome to Mistborn Mafia, XXXXX. You are the Lord Ruler's Anger.

You've worked at the Canton of Orthodoxy for awhile now, biding your time, hoping the Lord Ruler would notice you. Someday, you hope to receive the spikes, to become an Inquisitor and strike fear into the lowly Skaa...someday...

At night, you may burn zinc. If you do, target a player to riot their emotions. The following day, they will have a hidden double vote. Anytime they have an active vote on a player, it counts as two votes. If the player is lynched, the vote count will show the total number of votes, including the hidden vote, but not who cast it.

Note, if your target would cause a lynch by voting alone, your rioting will fail.

Welcome to Mistborn Mafia, XXXXX. You are the Lord Ruler's Grimace.

As a noblewoman, you've become accustomed to a certain level of privilege. Now, this upstart rebellion, led by this Survivor, is threatening all of that. You won't be reduced to Skaa trash. That's why you offered your services to the Lord Ruler...

At night, you may burn copper. If you do, and you were on a wagon at the end of the previous day, if anyone on that wagon burns metal, it will be undetectable.

At night, you may talk with all the Lord Ruler's followers here: QT Link.

Welcome to Mistborn Mafia, XXXXX. You are the Lord Ruler's Fist.

Traitor, that's what your own people call you. But who can blame you? Plenty of Skaa join the Guard -- it's better than working the fields or factories, waiting to die. Food to eat, clothes on your back...no, you do what you have to do. The Lord Ruler's kept you warm and fed up to now, no reason to think it'll change soon...

At night, you may burn steel. If you do, target a player and kill them with a coin through the heart. On any night you burn steel, there cannot be a factional kill.

At night, you may talk with all the Lord Ruler's followers here: QT Link.

Welcome to Mistborn Mafia, XXXXX. You are the Lord Ruler's Snitch.

If someone asked you how you ended up in the Lord Ruler's employ, how would you answer? Was it good fortune or bad luck that had you plucked from the streets? Will you survive this occupation or die cold and alone?

At night, you may talk with all the Lord Ruler's followers here: QT Link.

You, and only you, will receive the name of a random Surivor-aligned power role every odd night, starting with Night 1.

At night, you may perform the factional kill. This is in addition to your role power.

You win when all threats to the Survivor are defeated.

Welcome to Mistborn Mafia, XXXXXXX. You are the Survivor's Thug.

At night, you may burn pewter. If you do, you cannot be killed at night, once. You only have enough pewter to burn once.

You win when all threats to the Survivor are defeated.

---

Welcome to Mistborn Mafia, XXXXXXX. You are a Rebellious Skaa (Vanilla Townie).

The Survivor's speeches have gotten to you. You feel invincible, ready to overthrow evil and free your people. You'll just have to be very convincing...

Secret history of Mistborn RMM...

I originally wanted to do something with actual quantities of metals, and having people trade them and whatnot, but man, that's a pain in the butt, and it was a lot like the items in packs in Dune I, and that was just too much work, so that went out the window pretty quickly. It got replaced with PRs that could burn metals, and then some PRs that didn't, so we could have some fun interactions.

The inamorata/inamorato + snapping into a Mistborn thing was early on in the brainstorming -- I wanted a super strong role, but needed to temper it. I think it worked out well, although how well it is used depends on who gets the powers. I also wanted to powers to be different from others using the same metals, which is why you see some variation. It worked out well, given there was tin discussion in thread, for example.

The Lord Ruler escalations were implemented late in the process. I realized that there was some big swing possibility, and wanted to account for it. I had made the scum team intentionally weak -- I tend to overpower scum in general -- but knew that would hinder them in the late game. In came the spikes. Given I only had one upgrade per player, the "only one scum left" escalation trigger had the odd rule that if one of the last two scum had a spike, the other would get it. Had WW died earlier, no one would have gotten a spike until they were alone.

Speaking of scum -- I hadn't really thought of the scum team using the double vote so blatantly for their own good. I had envisioned it as a power that would frame town and/or surprise them on D2 and then just be played around. Using it as a weapon was great -- kudos to them for that.

There seemed to be some confusion around Hydrad's role as snitch -- it was just to upgrade a Goon a bit. Weak, yes, but extra information is always useful somehow.

Chairs's doctor role could stop the normal factional kill, but not allomantic kills. WW gaining a spike on N1 made that moot, mostly.  Had another scum player done a factional kill, chairs could have stopped it.  I'm glad Silverspawn used his lightning rod power. Good timing, too. Generally, town targeted well, but mostly with no result.

The naming conventions were on purpose -- the non-allomantic roles were "survivor-aligned X" while allomantic powers were "the survivor's X" when it came to town.  I started off with one trait for the scum names and just kept going from there.  I wish I would have put more time into the flavor itself, but I get the feeling that just the mechanics and the game itself got some folks interested in the series.

I don't know what mail-mi's original version was going to look like, and I'm sad he ended up a VT in this.

Any questions or comments are welcome.  I hope you all had fun.

I'll have an MVP post and discussion up soon.

[Hydrad]

aww I almost became a doctor for some reason!

And then i died D:

this was still an interesting and fun game though!

[Seprix]

Congrats to everyone. Well played, TA and WW. I never suspected WW was scum. TA, I could see. But I didn't think there was that many scum to be honest.

Now, Ashersky said that Town has the win because someone slipped up and we all missed it apparently. I'd like to know where the slip was, so I can improve my game. :p

[XerxesPraelor]

I originally thought that what I fakeclaimed was actually my role, and I was worried it would be too suspicious to change my mind last-minute. Also, town really shouldn't have lynched me if I was telling the truth - third party or not, almost all my incentives would have been to help town out, and my role was weird enough scum wouldn't be claiming it. I was really looking forward to being a pseudo-IC, and I think town messed up there.

Also, gkrieg shouldn't have been suspected at all. I said the person I had to protect was town, I flipped town (somehow it seemed some people didn't see that?), and nobody counterclaimed him. Seriously.

[ashersky]

TA screwed up his fake claim, WW even pointed it out.

His cover up was pretty weak -- town should have been all over that.

[Hydrad]

TA screwed up his fake claim, WW even pointed it out.

His cover up was pretty weak -- town should have been all over that.

ya maybe its because i knew TA was scum but i was super impressed that he somehow didn't die there. I thought we would have to bus him for cred kinda thing.

[XerxesPraelor]

Funnily enough, if I were the role I said I was, I would have won.

[Witherweaver]

Hey we won!

That game was quite a rollercoaster.

[mail-mi]

So I was kinda sad to be a vt, which is why I didn't put in as much effort as I should have.

My game is set in alloy-of-law era and is totally different than this. I think I might put some more thought into it and then run it later if I have time.

[Twistedarcher]

Now, Ashersky said that Town has the win because someone slipped up and we all missed it apparently. I'd like to know where the slip was, so I can improve my game. :p

I mean, I scumslipped, got called out on it, and somehow everyone just let it slide.
