DEATH NOTE Mafia

[Tales]

That wasn't what you told Diageo. And if you have real life things to take care of, tell us that. You could at least show up every now and then to get targets(we couldn't do it for you). Rummy and Jayseven were nice enough to do that.

 

In my opinion, if you hate being mafia that much and will not contribute/contribute less, don't sign up.

[jayseven]

Yay it's over!

[Cube]

So....

 

Who were the mafia?

[Tales]

Myself, Eddiecoleslow, Rummy, MadDog and Jayseven.

[Cube]

Thanks.

 

Also me, heroicjanitor and The Peeps (the first The Peeps) were able to communicate with each other outside the thread, which was quite handy.

Why what did i say to Diageo? That's not the biggest reason i wasn't active, it was mostly rl things.

[heroicjanitor]

Yeah Diageo demanding each player send their own targets could easily have screwed the mafia, cube forgot to send his target before since he assumed our forum targets were enough. Really want the roles.

[Jonnas]

I am seconding Dannyboy's feelings. Sometimes, in mafia games, we shoot in the dark and hope for the best, but in this game, we couldn't even see if the shots actually hit something.

Mainly, I don't doubt that the things that happened behind the scenes, with the other groups, were interesting, but us other townies could do nothing except follow theories that wouldn't produce results.

 

Still, a very well made game, I just think that some clarity on the arrested people was needed.

 

Also, dead players replacing the inactives proved to be very confusing. I realise there were too many inactives, but you gotta know when a replacement isn't feasible (like reviving The Peeps when he used to belong to a different group, thus Herojan used that as a defence)

 

 

Anyway, I actually thought Herojan was Neutral, which is why I pursued him so vehemently. Being unable to be investigated is mighty suspicious to me.

 

@Ellmeister: I lived with my wife and daughter (the latter was probably responsible for the Bieber fanletter).

Damn, I was lucky that Dohnut never saw me, even though I tried to target him. He could get names just by looking at me, I bet

[Ellmeister]

He had to look AT people purposely. It was his power.

 

After he went, I had the choice of either seeing a face or rummaging through blackmail. Although I thought my excuse about having to fix my machine worked well :p

But if I targeted someone, that person would see my face. Couldn't Nintendohnut potentially learn my name from this?

[Ellmeister]

Yeah, he may have had your details...but when he went inactive, Diageo never told me what he was supposed to tell me.

 

I also knew who ReZ and Mr-Paul was, I was building up a list so I could have a mass killing spree to fuck everything up but never got the names to follow through with it

[heroicjanitor]

So Ellmeister had shinigami helping him by giving names etc? I thought shinigami weren't allowed to interfere, and if their interference caused the extension of someone's life they died. Also none of us should have been able to see a figure on the camera, infrared or not. Made me think there was no shinigami since even if there was they couldn't help, and it definitely wasn't peeps or nintendohnut since we could see them. I followed the rules too closely I suppose.

 

I enjoyed the game, but the only reason I knew we were close to the end was Tales assertion that he did well despite initial problems etc so I thought there were at most two mafias left and either Jayseven or Aqui1a was definitely mafia. I knew there was someone else with a death note too since a mafia must have been killed. Well I say knew but tbh I "knew" nothing, just had ideas which were very likely. As others said it is hard to know where you stand in a game like this. Especially when the rules of the death note say you only have 6 minutes and 40 seconds to change the cause of death yet the mafia was able to send orders at any time in the day to change what their victims say. They should have been forced to plan it out at the start, tell him to say something at 8pm, then something else at 9pm, etc. That would have forced some epic planning and if it came off it would have been cool. So yeah. Rules were broken. Ruuuuuuullllleeeessss.

[Ellmeister]

Yeah but then it would be easy to figure out, and besides most people weren't always online at such easy times to accommodate those real rules.

 

I was thinking Diageo would give someone shinigami eyes but they had something like 10 days to do it in (i.e. the shortening of the life). But I personally thought it was a well thought out game.

 

The one thing that I have to say I disliked was that days started, and pms came a lot later. I know you're probably busy Diageo but pms should be sent out at start of day otherwise it is just pointless/confusing.

[heroicjanitor]

I don't think it would have been easy, the town just had extreme luck in this one tbh. Without that luck it would still have been a challenge with the proper rules. But yeah I have no objection to using his own rules.

Yeah, I think the main issue wasn't that we were paranoid and in the dark, since that is usually what makes a mafia game great - it was that we never got any closer to knowing anything. We were just as much in the dark by the end as we were at the beginning, just a heck of a lot more confused by everything.

 

Also, sentiment echoed: Replacing players with dead players is really not a good idea.

[Diageo]

The Peeps voted for Herojan, it wasn't a defence because I made the Peeps neutral. His information didn't really matter that much and Herojan came out with it anyway,

 

6 minutes and 40 seconds since they stopped writing the last bit of info, so if they just kept writing one word every 5 minutes, they could keep controlling people indefinitely. I just made it as if they did that. There are loopholes in the rules.

 

The shinigami can touch things in the real world. They killed a person, and just carried it around. That's why it had no heat signature but was still a figure. No one except Ellmeister ever saw the shinigami.

 

There were many inactives, if I didn't replace them the game would have come to a standstill where the mafia did nothing. It was worth confusing one or two people for that.

 

Not telling the alignment was more realistic. I thought it would be interesting to try. Was thinking people would use more deductive reasoning to try and discover alignment.

 

Can't remember any more comments.

[Mr-Paul]

Post the roles?

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

Not telling the alignment was more realistic. I thought it would be interesting to try. Was thinking people would use more deductive reasoning to try and discover alignment.

 

I like the approach, and it's certainly more realistic, but without alignments we really don't have much to deduct from. It'd require a lot more work than I think most of us have the time/energy for.

[EddieColeslaw]

I whinged a lot in-game about the deaths not showing alignment to appear innocent, but from a mafioso's POV, it was a good idea. Otherwise the game would have ended rather quickly, I should think, with far less mystery and confusion (being a good thing in mafia games imo).

[Nintendohnut]

Yeah I'm really sorry Ell, and everyone else. Like I said, I hadn't planned on being inactive, but we moved into a new place and it was ages before I could get online. So I'm really sorry if I ruined Ell's game... but at least he won!

 

I was pretty confused throughout this game, wasn't really sure what was going on or whether we were actually meant to kill. I was unwilling to at first as I didn't want me and Ell to look evil, but in the end I kinda wish we'd killed earlier, would've made things more interesting!

 

Incidentally, how many people actually tried, at all, to stick to their personality profile? I worked hard to stick at mine, but it seemed like everyone else was just acting normally.

 

Also I enjoyed both my characters - they were awesome and I loved 'being' each one. Nice one Diageo!

I kinda forgot about that aspect, but here was my character:

Happily married for 12 years, Dominic is an architect, famous for his elaborate work on many buildings across the country. A charming man who is capable of convincing nearly anyone to do anything he wants. Also a talented artist Dominic spends much of his time painting colourful city landscapes. Recently however he has become a bit too fond of gambling, giving up on painting to go to the nearby casino.

 

Family

Jennifer Ventiuno [Wife]

Mark Ventiuno[son]

 

Psychological Profile

Charming, caring, creative, light-hearted, trusting. Addictive personality, particularly to gambling.

Yeah, but it's just very frustrating for the town, especially since it's all we have to go on, and it did take a lot of the fun out of it - for me personally, at least.

I gave that up pretty quickly. :p I was supposed to be an arrogant private investigator who prided herself in being able to see through any lie. But it was still a pretty neat idea.

Psychological Profile

A prideful character, you don’t like to be wrong, or at least admit you are. It angers you when people challenge you, or calls you a liar. Can’t say no to the person he loves. Does not like to change his mind as he feels it’s a sign of weakness. Sees humans as inferior beings. Hates the fact that he has fallen in love with one.

 

I would've liked to have acted up to this but it definitely would've got me lynched if I was calling everyone stupid humans. I did change a bit though but probably not enough for anyone else to notice :p
