The unholy story of Count Giure "Grando" Stregone TOWN WINS!

[Extreme Ways]

There also was the "Oh my, thats a role" part: Miller N1, 1 shot allignment cop N2, 1 shot Paranoid Gun Owner by night 3, SK on D4 and onwards

was this manually-assigned DDS or fusi

[SoN!c]

All roles were randomly assigned because the first 6 roles were random decided by dice. Ofcourse some roles needed a experienced player for balance so they had like say 4 to 6 possible candidates. If those were (all but one) already selected by dice for other roles the last remaining candidate got it automatically.. SK candidates were Ragian, Loose, DDS, EW, Strike and Kong

[Loose Canon]

Agree EW is MVP, Kong was very good too.
Other players got unlucky.
I was completely lost at the end - but hey its all experience.

[strike wolf]

I didn't forget. It just meant the sword couldn't be used for a bit afterwards and wanted to make sure it was used right. I even suggested using it on Charle before Son!c told us that we couldn't.

[kongming3]

Did the SK-to be know they would transform into one later? Also was it intentional that the two townsfolk my original role cleared were both masons?

[Devante]

Am I the only one lost here? Can we get an explanation on events

[Extreme Ways]

Am I the only one lost here? Can we get an explanation on events

no im also still lost on whether we won or lost

[strike wolf]

So I think it was something like this based on it seeming like town won.

Striga (???) and the White Wolf (???) killed each other. Kong was the back up Mason (which is probably why he knew me and EW were town?) But was then converted and later EW chopped his head off with the sword. So town won.

How close am I?

Also I had an epic offscreen light saber battle with the spirits of Charle and the Striga to prevent them from reincarnating in another bdy.

[SoN!c]

END SCENE

The Village Priest, who got his orders from the Striga wrong, instead of staying close to the second Masonic's back to kill him he forgot what he needed to do and walked into the room where the third Masonic Lord has set up the trap. Completely lost he then tripped and stumbled right into it !

ZWOING! The ratchet trap device shoots out a blade that takes the Village Priest's head right off!

LOOSE CANON village Priest (1 shot Alignment Cop, 1 shot Priest) CONVERTED VAMPIRE HAS DIED!

GRANDO, waiting at the door to hear the trap in working now thinks his plan is done and walks in.

ZWOING! The Second Masonic Lord, swings of his head with the VERY LARGE COMMUNITY SWORD!

KONG, Count Giure Grando Strigone (VAMPIRE STRIGA SCUMLORD), Godfather, 3 shot deflector, 1 shot bus driver, 1 shot cult leader and Lord of the Death HAS DIED!

Almost right after, the WHITE WOLF arrives at the scene and bites off The Second Masonic Lord's head!

EW, second Masonic Lord, 2 shot tracker, 1 shot deflector, masonic axe holder, has DIED!

The Third Masonic Lord (Pixar) quickly grabs the sword, powered by the Force Ghost, and together with the townsman that holds the vest (Devante) take care of the WHITE WOLF.!!

Ragian, 1-Shot Strongman (on a full moon night), even-night direwolf, HAS DIED!


TOWN WINS!!

[SoN!c]

Did the SK-to be know they would transform into one later? Also was it intentional that the two townsfolk my original role cleared were both masons?

YES, this was the role DDS got :

town Miller until N3, 1 shot Paranoid Gun Owner by night 3, SK from D4! (but DDS did not know his Miller role would change daily as part of his "transformation" into SK, just like the wolves did not know they were wolves until first Full Moon - Votanic was spare mason on D1 while Ragian was vanilla)

Miller: If investigated by cop, you will return an unfavorable result.
You are a town 1 shot Paranoid Gun Owner on night 3.
If you survive N3 you turn SK on D4.

Background story:
You are getting so scared night after night from the unholy creatures that haunt town that you have stolen a Masonic double barrel shotgun with silver slugs. With it you will kill the first person (town or scum) who targets you on the third night. In Paranoid state of mind you will keep shooting (using all your silver ammo until depleted having shot the head of the visitor clean off/completey splattered).
If nobody else visits to kill you on night 3 (no more ammo to defend you), you will steal more silver slugs from the Masons the next day and become a 3P Serial Killer Psychopath on day 4.

As 3P serial killer Psychopath your goal is to kill em all and be the last player alive!.

[SoN!c]

For example this was the role Votanic got:

Votanic town spare Mason D1

You are town spare Mason, 2 shot Alignment Cop!

Vote: During the day, you may vote for whomever you want lynched.

PR abilities:
2 shot Alignment Cop: Twice a game at night you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, you will learn that player's alignment.

Win condition : You win if all threats to the town are eliminated and at least one town-aligned player is alive.

But at first night that changed and he was awakened as werewolf:

Black Werewolf: 2-shot wolf Janitor for 1 day, 2 shot veteran on alert, odd-night direwolf

Twice in the game, if you are performing the factional kill, your target will die with no flip that morning hiding your role in it to all. (Assuming no interference with your action). However, messy as you are, parts of the target's body will be found after the next night.

You may also choose to go on alert and guard the Wolf's Lair killing anybody who targets you in your Wolf's Lair. You may only do this twice, because you are easily distracted chasing rabbits.

You win if at least one werewolf is alive and all other players are dead (or if nothing can prevent the same).

Odd-night Direwolf: On each odd Night, you may target a player. Assuming no interference with your action, that player's active abilities will be blocked that Night and You investigate all odd nights as "Innocent" to Cops.

You may only use one power at a single night (janitor/veteran/ odd-night direwolf blocker)

Once polished you may then give the large community sword away at night at any player you desire, if it's been given to scum it will find its way back home to you the next morning.

You also hold the silver bloodaxe saw. The silver masonic axe can be used to cut the head off a lynched corpse. Because as Mason you know that if the lynched victim is vampire, only the beheading cut from a weapon like the silver axe will kill it.
However, if you choose to use the axe this must be done in public immediate after the lynch, so the identity of the holder (you) is revealed to all. If you should die later in the game the Masonic axe will be given to another Mason or, if none left, to town.

On a full moon: Instead of bodyguarding the masons; You may also choose to go on alert and kill anyone who visits you with your silver masonic trap.

Note: This is the list as i have it in word (the pm's i sended out could have gotten small changes but those pm's are already deleted due to over 50 pm's send)

[SoN!c]

There were also 2 false claims (SUN VIG for vampire faction used by Charle) and ANGEL for WOLVES;

ANGEL:

3-shot Angel, 3-shot commuter, 1 shot "Healing Water Carrier"

abilities:
Commuter may choose to leave town each night. If a Commuter is commuting, it is untargettable that night by any means, not even Juggernaut, Roleblocker, or a Strong-Willed role and you can say actions on you shifted possibly to somebody else (you can use the communter if you think GRANDO is gonna target you because you are the one he is searching for)
An Angel is a role that targets a player once per night. The target is then protected by kills, but only during the following night!
"Healing Water Carrier" This protects you from a single kill that night and will then be used up. However, until depletion the player you visit as ANGEL on FULL MOON will receive a portion of Healing Water too so he will be protected for 2 nights instead of one!

And then "the other guy" would shift the entire game - starting with Vot being spare mason D1 to Strike as force ghost in the end (while the SK and others would be "the other guy" too depending on the current situation of the game)

Force ghost: this way the dead player could stay active giving advice in chat (vampire senses for wolves, letters from the bishop for masons, and wolf instincts for wolves), and it would be a lever too: the sword at the beginning of the game needed a polish before it could be used. The force ghost could make that polishing unneeded and in case of a tie the light saber action twist would rule in favor for town (no tie ending possible)

[SoN!c]

Also JFM even when he knew he would turn SK wanted to win as town. And he was on to Vot. So then Vot had to kill him that night.. meaning scum lost a minor faction (SK) that could have killed Masons... then at Halloween the dead were brought back from the dead so JFM wanted revenge and kil Vot.. meaning Vot had to stay in his lair and kill JFM again LOL.. but that weakened the wolves play possibilities..

And the black boar witch on Halloween was just a story.. nobody died of it.

[Ragian]

Having lost Votanic to a ban, I knew I couldn't win, so I just went for Loose because I was on his case from D2

Good game, everyone. Thanks for hosting, Son-ewe.

[Devante]

Is it possible to get the night events to help with how things took place, still a bit muddy to me

And thanks for hosting Sonic

[strike wolf]

I was onto Vot. Though my only thread to tug at was that he seemed less cranky than in most games.

Game itself. Very ambitious and there was some fun in trying to figure out what craziness was involved. That said, it probably was a bit too ambitious for a mafia game. The balance is all over the place and the majority of the first two days was spent trying to figure out the flavor with not much scum hunting. I will also say that as mod, you were a bit too free with the info you gave out. Dev would have been a possible target but he'd been more or less mod cleared. Overall, very worthwhile experiment and I probably wouldn't say no to a second game like this but it doesn't quite work outside of being a known bastard game more about wild roles and flavor than scum hunting.

[Ragian]

Annoyingly, I was onto Vot D1 (when I wasn't wolf) because he lied about a former game. Was hoping no one would notice that I withdrew that hostility...

[SoN!c]

Annoyingly, I was onto Vot D1 (when I wasn't wolf) because he lied about a former game. Was hoping no one would notice that I withdrew that hostility...

YES I KNOW!! THAT WAS SO FUNNY BECAUSE I ALREADY KNEW YOU WOULD PARTNER UP THAT NIGHT!! Ragian went full mode on Vot D1

And yes Strike is right! In hindsight it was too ambitious for a first game. But hey, i wanted to create the game i would love to play myself.. so im better sorry for the things i did then be sorry for the things i didn't do.

I learned alot about hosting a game. Simple things really, but you have to do it first to realize.. School of life, hard knocks - not just theory but real stuff. So i agree with Strike's comment 100% and in a very humble way.

The game was designed to be a total mind fuckery first days (just like announced in sign-up) then going to the standard mafia game starting day 3 and onwards but it was too much game info. And that prevented real mafia "conversations" in thread.

I should have made a rule book that players could consult at any time, that would have solved a lot. Also: playing two games at the same time probably did not help to keep your mind with total focus on it...

Vampires could have won but they got the double bodyguards wrong (Pix and Dev). I noticed it was just memory faillure and when that happens with everybody it means it was the game info that was too much to handle, not the players, who were "wrong" on that part. Sure playing two games at the same time with one this complicated will not help and get your memory overload fast but mea culpa.

We can always play a Count Grando 2.0 next halloween if everybody chips in his toughts and idea's about how to improve this first unique bastard
