Lord of the Rings mafia [Town wins]

[pmchugh]

Themed games must either have fake claims given to scum or no mass claiming otherwise it can be ruined quite easily day 1. If I ever made a themed game I would have a rule agianst mass claiming.

Thats why I picked my Marvel Theme. There are far to many superhero's for a Mass claim happen succesfully in my game.

Everyone had forgotten about the two Hobbits, Merry and Pippin. They wandered through Fangorn, hoping that they would soon find their way out. A sound behind them startles the two Hobbits and they run away from it as fast as they can, but Merry was not fast enough. Pippin heard a scream behind him, but he kept running, terrified of what might happen to him.



AceArtemis (Merry - Vanilla Townie) has died.

The battle for Helm’s Deep had barely started when a white rider appeared at the flank of the Orc army and raised his staff. A bright light shined from the tip, forcing everyone to look away. The figure then pointed his staff and shot a devastating bolt of bright lightning. Gimli fell to the ground, grasping at his chest.



Simon Viavant (Gimli - Roleblocker) has died.

Legolas stood on the wall firing arrow after arrow, but his allies were falling left and right and soon he would be overrun by Orcs. He fired three more arrows and then started to make his way to a safer place. Legolas grabbed an Orc shield, threw it down on the floor in front of the stairs and jumped on it. Right before he started to slide down the stairs, he saw Aragorn’s lifeless body being thrown off the wall.



william18 (Aragorn - Ranger) has died.

At dawn, the Rohirrim appear and they charge into the Orcs. Not long after the devastating charge, the Orcs sound the retreat, but the entire enemy army is wiped out before a single Orc could escape. Without wasting time, the entire army travels towards Mordor, where Saruman now resides.

Day 5 starts now!

Day 5 will end 120 hours from now

[Clive]

I tracked Iliad last night.

He visited AA, Simon, and William.

Vote: Iliad

[Mr. Squirrel]

I tracked Iliad last night.

He visited AA, Simon, and William.

Vote: Iliad

I think we all would have guessed he was scum at this point anyway. But your info pretty much confirms it.
vote iliad

[Iliad]

I tracked Iliad last night.

He visited AA, Simon, and William.

Vote: Iliad

How obviously convenient.

This is nothing but wool over your eyes, and clive is now at the cusp of victory. Do not hammer.
Did you remember how everyone suspected Clive, but he claimed Legolas, but refused to claim a role?
Remember how he claimed and then just disappeared?
Lurked and lurked, in complete safety because everyone believed his claim. He was in a great position: he could now get away with anything. He was just roleblocked, over and over again. But now he can use his power again!
And he has. After he claimed
he posted twice on day 1
Twice on day 2
Once on day 3 to vote fircoal when it was obvious fircoal would be lynched.
And then came back in style day 4, when he saw that mafia was losing and mafia needed to take town's lynches. And the best way to do that: mass claim.

Jesus, guys. Do you really think Stroop is going to have been incompetent enough to make the game breakable by a massclaim?
[/size]

Clive was mafia with a fake-claim. Because he knew legolas wasn't in the game, he knew that not all Fellowship members had to be in. All he had to do was to steer a decision into a mass claim, by taking control of town.

Ok. No fucking about here - If you are responsible for the spiesr kill, you counter William now.

If there is no counter, then he is clear, as far as I can tell.

Massclaim today may be a good idea.

This would be my preferred order:

Simon Viavant
Sam Levi
Iliad
Falko
Karel
Squirrel

Any objections?

And all he had to do is then weed out anyone who didn't claim Fellowship, who he worked out there must've been. He was just agressive and forced people to claim, even though discussion was still out whether we should mass-claim. But he grabbed the power for himself.
He didn't need sam anymore, the trust would be worth it. All he has to do is lynch me today, and he wins during the night. Kills two people and ta-da.
Town has already been manipulated by pmchugh, let's not fall for that again. Think people, compare my track record and clive's. I haven't been looking scummy all game, I've been getting accused by Gollum all game.

I told you guys, that pcmhugh was not to be trusted, but no-one listened. Well listen now, and try not to make that mistake again.

You're making all of this, insanely easy for Clive.

[Clive]

If anyone is buying this, I will explain why Iliad is scum. I trust that this is not necessary, though.

[karelpietertje]

Clive was mafia with a fake-claim. Because he knew legolas wasn't in the game, he knew that not all Fellowship members had to be in.

of all the members in the Fellowship, Legolas would be one of the most likely to be in this game. If I wanted to fake-claim being mafia, I wouldn't gamble on Legolas.

King Theoden’s army had reached the great gate that sealed Mordor. Gondor had sent some reinforcements and now they were ready to finish the final threat to Middle Earth. Saruman stood on top of the gate, his army behind it. Legolas was focused on Saruman, ready to fire an arrow as soon as the wizard tried anything, when he heard someone shouting his name. He looked behind him to find Sam on a hill behind the army.

At that moment, it started. The black gate was opening and Orcs and Uruk-hai were pouring out. Scattered across their ranks were large Trolls, ready for battle, and Saruman stood in their middle. Saruman raised his staff, ready to release his magic, but Legolas hit him in the chest with an arrow, disrupting Saruman’s focus. After this, the armies charged at each other.

Boromir ducked and dodged, avoiding his enemies with only one goal in mind. He was heading straight for Saruman. He approached the wizard from the side, while Saruman was fending off the cavalry that prevented him from retreating. Boromir ran the last few feet and swung his sword. Saruman saw the sword coming at him, but could not prevent that Boromir cut off two of his fingers and with them The Ring fell to the earth. Boromir managed to grab The Ring right before Saruman threw Boromir away from him with magic. A troll attacked the cavalry, and Saruman started running towards the gate.

No-one had noticed that Sam had been sneaking past both armies and when Saruman ran past him, he jumped up from under his cloak and stabbed Saruman with Sting. The old wizard fell to his knees; the last injury was too much for him.



Iliad (Saruman - Mafia Usurper/The Dark Wizard) has been killed.

Town has won the game!

I will post night actions and roles soon.

[Stroop]

Fircoal (replaced Thezzaruz Day 3):

You are Sauron - The Dark Lord.



Your faction consists of:

Fircoal (Sauron - The Dark Lord)
Iliad (Saruman - Mafia Goon)
sam_levi_11 (The Witch King - Mafia Roleblocker)
spiesr (Gothmog - Mafia Goon)

You win when you and your faction eliminate or outnumber the town.

Each night, your faction may choose to kill someone. The person highest on the list above sends me a PM saying who the target is and who performs the kill. In addition, you may speak to the members of your faction at night.

You have immunity against the first kill that would succeed against you, unless you are lynched through majority vote (note that this means that if you are lynched because of a deadline, your protection does work).

Whenever Frodo uses the Ring, you will know this. At the end of the night phase (after every action has been processed), you will receive a PM saying whether Frodo used the Ring. If he did, you will be able to investigate someone and learn their character name.

If Frodo is killed by your faction at night, you will take the Ring. Once the Ring is in your possession, you will be able to perform an extra kill at night (you must perform this kill, not someone else from your faction). This kill can not be blocked, protected against or stopped in any other way.

Until you have taken the Ring, you will appear town when investigated.

Your faction consists of:

Thezzaruz (Sauron - The Dark Lord)

Each night, your faction may choose to kill someone. The person highest on the list above sends me a PM saying who the target is and who performs the kill. In addition, you may speak to the members of your faction at night.

Even though it may seem like you serve Sauron, in reality you wish to seize his power for yourself. Therefore, in addition to the normal mafia win condition, The Dark Lord must also die for you to win. The other members of your faction have been told that you are a Mafia Goon without any special skills.

You are Frodo - Ringbearer



You are a part of the town faction. You win when all threats to the town have been defeated.

You carry the One Ring. Each night you may choose to wear it. When you do, you are protected from every action that you are the target of. Beware though, each time you wear the Ring, Sauron will come closer to discovering who and where you are (how this works exactly is unknown to you). In addition, you may not wear the Ring for three consecutive nights.

When you wear the Ring, you are completely invisible, which makes it easy to visit people without anyone knowing. If you decide to wear the Ring at night, you will be able to investigate one person.

You have many powerful allies, but your closest companion is without doubt Sam. Because of your close relationship with this character, you know his identity. xxx is Sam - Mason. You are allowed to communicate with him outside of the game thread at any time.

[william18]

yay, another win for Town!!! (and me)

[william18]

One of the things I found quite unique was that night actions were somewhat influenced by where they were. You could have fleshed it out a bit more, but it was a very interesting and unique game mechanic, I only ever saw that in Avatar mafia before this game.

[AceArtemis]

I tracked Iliad last night.

He visited AA, Simon, and William.

Vote: Iliad

That was some epic tracking.

There was also an event related to Treebeard's attack on Isengard, but he died Night 1

[cowboyz]

that was awesome stroop,
if you do run another one, gimme pm. i want in

[Falkomagno]

very well indeed. With the claim we had the victory almost assure, mafia had to be prepared tobe counter-claimed, but, well, was thought anyway.

Great done Mod. thanks to all.

[Minister Masket]

I can't believe town scraped a win out of that.
I freaking knew pmchugh was a villain aswell. I feel like I'm that girl from The Iliad (no relation to Iliad) who predicted disaster for the Trojans.

[Iliad]

Well that mass-claim fucked everyone up. I was most surprised that pmchugh was actually gollum. I was working out the setup and had him under possible sams.

Great mechanics, stroop, though the ring wasn't that great. Mafia doesn't really care about investigations in a one mafia game.

Anyway, great game, though we really should have played it out.

lol. I was convinced you were scum but couldn't articulate it. I sent a pm to stroop before the claims saying i thought you were saurman and that sam was either nazgul or gimer

Well played town.

[pmchugh]

I can't believe town scraped a win out of that.
I freaking knew pmchugh was a villain aswell. I feel like I'm that girl from The Iliad (no relation to Iliad) who predicted disaster for the Trojans.

My play was to try and get as many claims as possible so that i could find frodo. Because suspect claimed sam and was actually frodo I thought who could be sam? I thoguh t that he must be mason with him, so I thought it must be karel or squirrel and i had already investigated squirrel.

[Stroop]

Great mechanics, stroop, though the ring wasn't that great. Mafia doesn't really care about investigations in a one mafia game.

The day-investigation was there so that you would have something to find Frodo/Sam with other than forcing claims and random guessing.
