[Endgame] Firefly Mafia

[strike wolf]

Well if we were both scum I would say the game leans a bit towards mafia in balance.

So you admit one of you is scum? Not that it will save me. Good game, mafia - you've deserved this.

Que? No unless I am mistaken it sounded like Tal was talking about the possibility that we were both scum.

[edocsil]

That IS a lynch, scene Tomorrow.

[edocsil]

Sorry guys, its been busy. I am gone for the 4th of july. Promise I will have a scene for you all as soon as I get back.

And don't let anyone hang me in my other games!!

[Talapus]

You posted in your other threads there mod. Come on, what'd we hit? Scum, right?

[edocsil]

You did, it's the final scene. It is taking a while to write It will be here tomorrow as well as the post game report, had to save my ass in the other games (Clue) and RL took over.

[strike wolf]

Woohoo! Shaggy had me wondering towards the end. His play style became a lot more aggressive as we approached end game.

[edocsil]

Well, it been a bit of a delay, but holidays are holidays. Here it is.

Final Scene

This was it, this was the end. Everyone knew it and so they came to the Cargo Bay of the Serenity. Five were in the room, and someone was a liar, someone was not who they claimed to be and desired to kill all the others that remained. Was it the priest? The shady business man? The man who spoke to all from the shadows? The whore? Or perhaps it was the little girl.

Who had lied?

The priest and the whore were the first in the room. The supposedly kind and gentle priest had brought along one of Jayne's assault rifles. The way he held showed he knew how to use it. What was his history? Could he be an agent of the Alliance in disguise?



The priest walked to the whore. He could see that she had brought little to defend herself with, though he suspected she had some small gun concealed on her person, a gun that the priest had seen before.



She watched him watching her, she merely raised and eyebrow and shrugged. They didn't trust each other, but neither thought the other was an enemy.

Quietly Mr. Universe stepped into the room. He too was unarmed, his strengths were not with weapons, but with information. He had already said everything he had needed to say and it was unlikely he would have to add anything. Events were in motion because of him he believed and he already had a good idea for how the scene would unfold before him.


The last man walked into the room, he had a greasy smile. He claimed to be a business man, others called him a smuggler.



He opened his mouth, preparing to lie and wheedle as he had done so many times before but it was not to be. River was watching.



Dropping down behind him she pulled something from his pocket, they were gloves, specifically blue gloves. With a feral grin Derrial Book turned his rifle on the man with the gloves and shot both his kneecaps.

Blue Gloves (Commander) Mafia Goon has been killed. (slowly)

The four people left standing quickly left the the Cargo Bay and made their way to Inara's shuttle. Mr. Universe, the last to enter the shuttle placed a small device on the wall. It looked suspiciously like a kitchen timer grafted to a handheld radio, twisting the dial a short ways he boarded the shuttle. Inara quickly jettisoned the shuttle from the Serenity and set a course for the closest inhabited world, a place only a few hours away. Turning to face the rear of her shuttle and the viewport there the four survivors watched in solemn silence. The seconds ticked by and before much more then a minute had past the Serenity erupted in flame, torn apart by the charges placed by Mr. Universe.

They all lost something on that ship, family, friends, lovers. Now it was over and only the memories would remain.

Serenity... you lost everything in that battle. Everything you had, everything you were. How did you go on?

Woot! Nice going town. And I was 1-2 with my vig shots, although I argue one of them was redirected. Not too bad for town.

Speaking of night actions, they got badly garbled and I don't think I will be able to piece them all back together. If people would claim the actions they remember I am afraid that is the best I can do.

[strike wolf]

Malcolm Reynolds-

Night one: busdrive self with commander. Investigate self (redirected to commander)
Night two: busdrive self with soundman. Protect safari

Mr. Universe

Night 1: contact doomyoshi
Night 2: contact strike wolf (malcolm Reynolds)
Night 3: contact safariguy (I was going to contact Nark originally but somebody got himself blown up)
Night 4: contact shaggydan

I think I played well this game. I caught the serial killer early on, redirected the Operative to soundman which got him killed by River and I think I may have saved Safari on night 2.

Ironically I was going to busdrive myself with sheep but thougght you might target him as the most inactive player...

[safariguy5]

Night 1: No kill
Night 2: Attempt to kill Soundman (that didn't work out well)
Night 3: Kill VioIet

[nagerous]

Well played guys, sorry I busted out of this one - had loads of exams around the time and I hadn't watched the series. Now I'm free and unemployed, maybe I'll have a chance to watch it sometime soon

[Iliad]

Well played town!

And Vio, if you're a secret goon that knows the identities of the rest of mafia but they don't know yours, attacking one member of the mafia blindly and desperately is really not the way to signal that.

[Commander9]

Commander ~ Jubal Early, SK must live and game ends with Simon or River dead.

Wasn't this true at the start of Day 2?

Anyways, good game all - gah, the losses here hurt.. But don't think I've had any real chances here: my inactivity ruined my SK and the general mass claiming pretty much destroyed us the 2nd time.

I think it was mistyped. I tend to believe that he meant and not or.

Sorry it that wasn't clear. The game had to be over, in a town or mafia victory, with either River or Simon dead. Next time I do a flavor game, there are going to be impeccable Fakes, you have all been warned.

That being said, it might be a bit before I host again, I have had a game running constantly for what? A year and a half now?

[VioIet]

I know, and I'm sorry Illiad!!!! I really really didn't mean for things to go as far as they did. And I tried to back down later, but I suppose it was too late. Sheep was also my original target- but his inactivity didn't help things. I thought we would have a better chance to win, if i was the last mafia remaining- especially since I was innocent under investigation. I would have won the town's trust, and I would have the NK.


I was so disappointed when saf killed me. Totally ruined my plan

I knew Tal had investigated me, and I wish he said something so that saf wouldn't kill me. Sigh.

Ultimately it came down to strength of fakeclaim (which is how town got the last mafia). But the tipoff was the fact that really the only thing of note you contributed was that one case on Illy. If you had advanced other cases or made several leads, you probably would have stayed off my radar. As it was, both strike and I thought vigging you was the best idea given the remaining players.

[Talapus]

I knew Tal had investigated me, and I wish he said something so that saf wouldn't kill me. Sigh.

Ummmm, I mentioned something before you were offed and then after. The fact that you missed both those discussions tell me you weren't that invested in the game. I went out on a limb for you based on my investigation more then I should have which was hard considering how badly I thought you were scum when I first entered the game. So please don't state what I did or didn't do when you obviously missed all those conversations. It was done.

[VioIet]

Wow, Tal, that comment was completely off-base. You totally misunderstood what I was trying to say here, so I will spell it out.

The fact that you say i wasn't invested in this games, offends me a bit- because of all my active games at the time- this was the one I cared about the MOST. I really wanted to win as Scum, and I it took me over an hour to compose many of my Day 1 posts. And I believe some of my responses to you took two hours. I didn't miss any conversations. I don't know what it is you think i missed so much.

I played the way I did because I knew I was innocent under investigation. My role pm said town traitor- not innocent scum. I think there is a difference. So technically I was town- my WC was just that I would win along with mafia, and if they all died, I would inherit the NK.

My post was purely wistful thinking!!!! That's it!!!!! I said I wished saf hadn't killed me and that you had come out and said it, because I felt it would have prevented me from being killed. I was mafia, so my motives were pro-mafia, and I thought that would be the best outcome for ME.
Of course as town, your motives were completely different, and the way you and saf played ended up being the best for town.

All I was saying that, being pro-mafia, what i wished would of happened so mafia could have won.

I wasn't in any way criticizing you or any one else's gameplay. If anything, I was criticizing my own. So I don't know where you come up with me telling you what or what not to do.

My Gosh! Can't believe I had to explain that. Next time please try to understand what I am saying before you give me such a harsh post, because I really thought that was unnecessary.
