AE, no.I have to say... I really hate that role now lol
Don't hate the role. Hate the goofball that couldn't balance the role.

When you were in my DMs yelling at me to yell at darth to sub Piko out I was just likeThinking about it slightly more, the fact that Pikochu hadn't been subbed out, but hadn't posted in the thread since D2 also pretty much confirmed him as scum, since Darth would have had to have subbed in a town member that was deliberately not posting in the game thread at that point.
Generally, the rule that you must be active applies only to inthread... and so Pika should have gotten a warning for being inactive in thread. Otherwise, the entire game could have been conducted in OC."well, he's active in mafia chat. Can't sub him out, you should be able to figure that out x-x"
I don't think you can balance the role. I mean, i read what you said earlier and I just don't agree. It's an insanely overpowered role, no matter how the town is made up.AE, no.

Also, I'd like to say that both teams had ups and downs across the board. Like @Ereshkigal I'm 100% nominating you for best single mafia performance (if that's even a category) for next year just for this game, but you played far from a perfect game.
Mafia had won as soon as Elie spreaded a code to everyone (especially since the encoder had a link with it that explained how to crack the code!!) but it was still a close game,
All in all, while not the most balanced game, this was definitely the game I've enjoyed watching as an IO the most. Thanks a lot both @Elieson for coming up with the flawed code plan that could've been amazing, and @Ereshkigal for making me laugh so hard when you cracked the code.
It was a fun one.
Ereshkigal: You cracked the codes? I'm impressed. I was actually going to ask ME about this early in the game, if it was possible to reverse engineer the codes... but I admit that I suspected ME at that point, and Elieson was dead so I couldn't ask him.
Strictly speaking, not Darth's fault.Yeah, this game was not balanced at all. The mafia having a code breaker onboard just made things too much in the mafia's favor.
I'm curious as to why you didn't kill me N1 if you assumed I was going to be a big threat.Also, I will admit I was working hard to make certain you wouldn't believe that information, and thus would draw false conclusions. To be honest, I spent half the game trying to come up with ways to counter you without revealing our hand too early. Think about what it says that I could only accomplish it when you were not at your best, and I still unwittingly gave you enough information to identify a minimum of two thirds of our team.
Seriously, Klav, AE, and the rest were not our biggest worry; you were. I actually wanted to shoot you N1 to prevent you from being as big of a threat as you were.
D4 FT has been posted.Day 4 - The Interview
The clock was ticking, left and right people who won an award died by the hands of the evil gang, be it directly or indirectly.
"You would expect us to be able to figure this out right," said SoaringDylan, "there are only a handful of people left and WE somehow can't solve this."
"Of course WE can't," said the maniacal boss sarcastically, "allow ME to take the lead. I've just contacted two of our possible suspects for an interview."
"An interview?" asked DarthWolf. "You truly think they would fall for a simple interview like that. Who are they anyway?"
ME smirked and said: "Not if they are already staff members being offered more power by an admin. After all it's CheffOfGames and MegaPod we're talking about. Those guys couldn't resist the lure of power. Trust ME."
ME walked away to his office. "Now if you don't mind, I have an interview to attend to."
When ME arrived at his office the duo of Cheff and Pod were already eagerly waiting.
"Gentlemen," greeted the engineer, "good to see you're here already. Follow me inside please and take a seat."
The group sat down at ME's desk with the owner on his side and the guests next to each other facing the boss.
ME looked at each attendant for a moment very carefully and then asked: "So why do you think you would be fit as the vice president of this place? Giving you access to everything I have, except my personal privileges."
The two guests looked in awe both at ME and at each other.
"You aren't serious right?" asked MegaPod.
"Why would you pick us of all people?" wondered Cheff.
ME stood up and turned around looking outside his window.
"It's simple realy, this whole mystery is really. I should have known it were the two of you."
Cheff and MP looked at each other not knowing what was going on and shrugged.
ME continued: "And then to actually set this trap was so simple. How to lure in people who seek more recognition and power, by offering them more of course."
MegaPod left his chair and slowly walked to the door. "Yeah I'll be going, I don't like the sound of this anymore."
He tried to open the door but failed.
"Hah," ME laughed, "the door is locked. Do you really think I didn't plan this. Your behaviour clearly shows that you're guilty."
ME snapped his fingers and two auto-turrets appeared from the ceiling. "It's over!"
The turrets fired a barrage of lasers at MegaPod, utterly murdering him in front of Cheff's eyes.
Jinjo has been killed.
Cheff got shocked and shouted: "Murderer!"
He lunged at ME. However, ME turned around and grabbed Cheff at his face, stopping him in full force. "It's treason then." ME said as he sucked all the life force out of CheffOfGames.
"Now then, let's get the real threat dealt with."
AussieEevee has been killed.
Aussie has been killed, they were the YDYR (You Decide Your Role) -> YDY Power Ranger -> Blue Ranger
Jinjo has been killed, they were the Victini Giver
It is now Day 4, this phase will end in roughly 48 hours.
This may be the last phase.
I'm curious as to why you didn't kill me N1 if you assumed I was going to be a big threat.
I mean, I understand exactly why you didn't kill me afterward. It was too easy to keep me around and watch me trip over my own two feet and hope that I'd be scum read for it (still surprised I didn't get myself lynched this game...wow).
Hydreigon was the Roleblocker, Lucario was the cop as you expected. I was conidering a vig as well but more on that later.What was Lucario? I was hoping for Hydreigon to be vig.
The role would still be OP, no matter how powerful the town got.AE is incorrect about the Insanifier, however. It is not easy to balance, and I wouldn't recommend that newer hosts even bother to try it, but it can be done. You need to have something in the game that is a hard punishment for scum using that ability with abandon or give town powers that, when reversed, can benefit them more.
ME stood victorious in the midst of the destruction.
"And that, my dear fans, is how you play mafia. You know who to vote next year."
*PikoGenerally, the rule that you must be active applies only to inthread... and so Pika should have gotten a warning for being inactive
Oops. Sorry.*Piko
I was also inactive but not as much as Pikochu.
Fun story, I had no idea yet how I wanted to go with this when writing the first death. Then while writing I got the idea to let you set up all the kills. Hinting it in every piece of flavour. You being mafia flavour wise was the most obvious given the insanifier. It was only fitting to do it this way.So tell me, why am I always the corrupt staffer?
...oh. I guess it’s just more fun to write me that way, isn’t it?
