Multifaction/FFA Paper Mario TTYD Mafia - Night 11

[Fort Colorcastle]

What I really want is all those things that I can't have

that is the wise old ones right now
actually that was us all game

 

[zorbees]

Hoopster/Haruno died, slain twice over:

Dear Hoopster,
You are Don Pianta.

You ran the Pianta Syndicate and jealously guarded your daughter, Francesca, until your right-hand man, Frankie, who you loved as the son you never had, stole her heart. When you learned of this, you eventually decided simply to banish them both... until you grew sick from the separation from your only family.

You have a big information network in Rogueport. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Spy on <alias>”. If you target someone who you need dead, you will receive their full role PM. Otherwise, you will only receive their win condition.

You are also able to coerce people into doing your bidding. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Coerce <alias1> into voting <alias2>”. During the next day, your first target will unknowingly vote for your second target, overwriting any vote they may send.

You have access to the Cheep-Cheep Blimp and the Excess Express. Twice in the game, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Take <alias> on a ride”. You and your target will be effectively removed from the game for a maximum of two days and two nights, starting with the next day. You may still communicate normally, but will not be able to send any actions, be targeted, or vote. At any time, you may PM the hosts with “Day/Night X - Return”. You and your target will return to the game at the end of the day or night. You may not target anyone on your faction with this action.

You can also send out goons to protect people. You may PM the host “Night X - Goons <alias>”. If your target is lynched the following day, your goons will come in and stop the lynch before it happens. You cannot use this ability on a member of your faction.

You will also threaten anyone who tries to reveal your secrets. The first information role targeting anyone on your faction will fail.

Your most trusted henchman Frankie has come along with you in this conflict. You know that <MoodyCloud/Backpacker> is Frankie.

Your team ability is, once per every three nights, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Super Spies”. You will determine if any aliases you target with any actions other than item passing and anonymous messaging are enemies.

Your team steal is active once every three nights. Your team kill is active once every three nights.

Your safe claim is Flavio, allied with the Rogueport Regulars. The Rogueport Regulars win condition and team ability are:
-You are allied with the Rogueport Regulars. You win if you eliminate the Shadow Squad, the X-Nauts, the Dragons, and the Pianta Syndicate.
-Your team ability is, once per night, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Meeting with <alias1>, <alias2>, <alias3>, and <alias4>”. You will determine if a majority of the meeting is made up of members of the Rogueport Regulars, including yourself.
-Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every twonights. Your team kill functions differently than most other teams. To send in a kill, you must also send in a number of Smogon usernames and/or aliases that are alive and are allied with the Rogueport Regulars. The current number required is 8, but you know that this may decrease under certain conditions. If at least 2 of the usernames or aliases submitted are not allied with the Rogueport Regulars, the kill will fail. You will not know if a kill fails for this reason or for other reasons.

You are holding Ruby Star Fortress Key #3. Use this to retrieve the Ruby Star.

You are allied with the Pianta Syndicate. You win if you eliminate the Rogueport Regulars, Ms. Mowz, Goombella, Jolene, KP Pete, and Gloomtail.

Suddenly, Idol/Hitmonleet and Lady/thetwinmasters are incinerated by a fiery breath. (endgamed)

Dear Idol,
You are Chet Rippo.

You’re the con artist who offers to raise someone’s power with no side-effects. However, there is always a price for this power. Thirty-nine coins and a reduction in other powers, to be specific. You could well have marketed yourself as a power re-allocator, and that would not only have been honest, but you’d have gotten a similar market.

You will be using your ability as a con artist to trick your enemies. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Con <alias> with <item>”. You will trick your target into taking the item from you, and he will be so preoccupied that his actions will fail.

You are a pretty mysterious fellow. The first time you are targeted by a friendly information role other than your factional ability, the information role will fail.

Your team ability is, once per night, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Meeting with <alias1>, <alias2>, <alias3>, and <alias4>”. You will determine if a majority of the meeting is made up of members of the Rogueport Regulars, including yourself.

Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every two nights. Your team kill functions differently than most other teams. To send in a kill, you must also send in a number of Smogon usernames and/or aliases that are alive and are allied with the Rogueport Regulars. The current number required is 8, but you know that this may decrease under certain conditions. If at least 2 of the usernames or aliases submitted are not allied with the Rogueport Regulars, the kill will fail. You will not know if a kill fails for this reason or for other reasons.

You are holding Crystal Star Fortress Key #3. Use this to retrieve the Crystal Star.

You are allied with the Rogueport Regulars. You win if you eliminate the Shadow Squad, the X-Nauts, the Dragons, and the Pianta Syndicate

(Idol/Hitmonleet had been converted by the Shadow Queen)

Dear Lady,
You are Sir Grodus.

You wield powerful magics to strike down all who oppose you as you lead the X-Nauts in your quest for ultimate power. You have heard of the Shadow Queen sealed behind the Thousand-Year Door who must obey whomever resurrects her by granting her a new vessel to inhabit. But first, you need the Crystal Stars to undo the seal.

You are a master of the elements. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - [Ice Beam/Flamethrower/Thunderbolt] <alias>”. Ice Beaming will make your target unable to communicate anywhere but the game thread for the following day and night. Flamethrowering will make your target unable to perform any actions the following day (this includes voting, going to fortresses, item passing, and sending anonymous messages.) Thunderbolting will make your target unable to perform any actions that night. You cannot repeat an element until you have used all three elements over the course of three nights.

You are adept at taking Crystal Stars from the people who find them. The first time a Crystal Star is freed from a fortress by anyone other than an X-Naut, you will learn the alias of the player who freed it, and you will also take the Crystal Star for yourself. They will catch a glimpse of you and know that their Crystal Star was taken by a member of the X-Nauts.

You have an endless swarm of X-Naut grunts protecting you. The first information role, and the first kill of any kind (including the lynch) to target you will fail.

You have made contact with Rawk Hawk from Glitzville. You have an anonymous contact document with him, located here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AszobgIax1nEmkSW7iQONR_H-hrfKZM-fEqlXb5o_Yg/edit .

Your team ability is, once in the game, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Abduct <alias1>, <alias2>, and <alias3>”. You will prevent your targets from performing any actions, and also make off with all of their items.

Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every three nights.

You are holding Garnet Star Fortress Key #1. Use this to retrieve the Garnet Star.

You are allied with the X-Nauts. You win if you eliminate the Shadow Squad, Mario’s Team, the Rogueport Regulars, and Bowser’s Legion.

“BOW BEFORE BOWSER!” Screams Glaceon User/Blazade, victorious.
“Your Evilness has done magnificently!” Dragon Tamer/Pidge adds.

Dear Glaceon User,
You are Bowser.

You are the spiked fire-breathing dragon - er, I mean turtle - er, I mean Kappa. You regularly kidnap Princess Peach, but this time someone ELSE kidnapped her FIRST. That’s YOUR territory, and no one must be allowed to intrude on it! Also, you’ve heard that Mario was looking for the Crystal Stars, so you’ll find them first! (And now even Luigi is beating you to them?!)

You will breathe fire at anyone who threatens you. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Firebreathe <alias1>,<alias2>, etc”. If any of your targets attempt to kill someone on your faction, the kill will be blocked. You may target one alias per item you hold.

You can also use your immense strength to intimidate your foes. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Intimidate <alias>”. You will scare your target away and take any items they were holding.

You are currently hiding in your shell. While you are hiding in your shell, the first kill targeted at you will fail, and you will come out of your shell, gaining a new ability.

You have your trusty assistant Kammy Koopa along with you. You know that <Pidge/Dragon Tamer> is Kammy Koopa.

Your team ability is, once per day or night, you may PM the hosts with “Day/Night X - Block <alias1>, <alias2>, and <alias3>”. Any anonymous messages going to or from your targets will fail. This will block response messages from a fortress.

Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every three nights.

Your safe claim is Madame Flurrie, allied with Mario’s Team. Mario’s Team’s win condition and team ability are:
-You are allied with Mario’s Team. You win if you eliminate The Shadow Squad, The X-Nauts, the Glitz Pit, the Dragons, and Bowser’s Legion.
-Your team ability is, once every two nights, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Look up <name of Crystal Star> Fortress Key #x”. To use this ability, you must be holding a key to the same fortress you are looking up. You will determine what alias is holding the key you looked up.
-Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every three nights.

You are holding Sapphire Star Fortress Key #3. Use this to retrieve the Sapphire Star.

You are allied with Bowser’s Legion. You win if you eliminate The Shadow Squad, Mario’s Team, the X-Nauts, and the Glitz Pit.

Dear Dragon Tamer,
You are Kammy Koopa.

You’re an old hag of a Magikoopa, and the mightiest of their number. You raised bowser, and serve him unwaveringly. You often play a supporting role, either fighting one of Mario’s allies, or directly helping Bowser in a fight. You are not the muscle, though - you control and enhance.

You can use your magic to reveal someone’s true identity. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Reveal <alias>”. You will receive your target’s full role PM.

You can also use your magic to deceive your enemies. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Trick <alias1> and <alias2>”. <alias1> will target whoever <alias2> intended to target, and vice-versa. If they had multiple actions, this will affect all of them. If they had multiple targets on one action, this will only affect the first target.

You have the potential to cause havoc amongst everyone. Once in the game, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Havoc”. The next day, the lynch will take place publicly in the Smogon thread. The aliases of all players who vote for the lynch target will not be revealed.

You have set up a magical barrier around Bowser. While you are alive, any thieves targeting Bowser will fail.

You have your esteemed leader Bowser along with you. You know that <Blazade/Glaceon User> is Bowser.

Your team ability is, once per day or night, you may PM the hosts with “Day/Night X - Block <alias1>, <alias2>, and <alias3>”. Any anonymous messages going to or from your targets will fail. This will block response messages from a fortress if you target one.

Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every three nights.

Your safe claim is Lord Crump, allied with the X-Nauts. The X-Nauts’ win condition and team ability are:
-You are allied with the X-Nauts. You win if you eliminate The Shadow Squad, Mario’s Team, the Rogueport Regulars, and Bowser’s Legion.
-Your team ability is, once in the game, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Abduct <alias1>, <alias2>, and <alias3>”. You will prevent your targets from performing any actions, and also make off with all of their items.
-Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every three nights.

You are holding Diamond Star Fortress Key #2. Use this to retrieve the Diamond Star.

You are allied with Bowser’s Legion. You win if you eliminate The Shadow Squad, Mario’s Team, the X-Nauts, and the Glitz Pit.

The Rogueport Regulars have endured the onslaught of their enemies and also emerge victorious, with surviving members Umbreon User/Paperblade and Wanderer/Ditto

Dear Umbreon User,
You are Goose.

You are a member of the Robbo Gang, but you also run the Trouble Center. Not that you want anyone to know that the Robbo Gang runs that place, given the sketchiness of some requests. You don’t look it, but you’re actually rather smart.

You are the main man behind East Rogueport’s Trouble Center. You may PM the hosts with “Day/Night X - Post Trouble”. Whatever message you put in the body of the PM will be published anonymously with the next update.

As a Robbo Gang member, you are known to get up to some mischief. Once in the game, you may PM the hosts with “Day/Night X - Scramble Messages”. Any anonymous messages sent by a player who does not hold an item will instead be posted publicly.

You are also good at hiding your headquarters. Once every three nights, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Hide”. Any actions targeting you will fail.

Your team ability is, once per night, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Meeting with <alias1>, <alias2>, <alias3>, and <alias4>”. You will determine if a majority of the meeting is made up of members of the Rogueport Regulars, including yourself.

Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every two nights. Your team kill functions differently than most other teams. To send in a kill, you must also send in a number of Smogon usernames and/or aliases that are alive and are allied with the Rogueport Regulars. The current number required is 8, but you know that this may decrease under certain conditions. If at least 2 of the usernames or aliases submitted are not allied with the Rogueport Regulars, the kill will fail. You will not know if a kill fails for this reason or for other reasons.

You are holding Crystal Star Fortress Key #2. Use this to retrieve the Crystal Star.

You are allied with the Rogueport Regulars. You win if you eliminate the Shadow Squad, the X-Nauts, the Dragons, and the Pianta Syndicate

Dear Wanderer,
You are Podley.

You run a bar where this one arrogant, boastful, and incredibly wealthy ship owner frequents. You also know what Admiral Bobbery’s wife’s last request was, but you refuse to tell him because you think it would break him. Also, you remember Eve of Twilight Town fondly... but feel you cannot have her again.

You will be talking to the patrons of your soda bar. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Talk to <alias>”. You will get a random piece of information from your target, consisting of either who he targeted, what items he holds, or his smogon username.

Additionally, you will be selling people your signature Chuckola Colas. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Sell Chuckola Cola to <alias>”. You will give a Chuckola Cola item to your target, which will decrease their vote by 1 while holding it. You cannot sell Chuckola Cola to yourself.

Your team ability is, once per night, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Meeting with <alias1>, <alias2>, <alias3>, and <alias4>”. You will determine if a majority of the meeting is made up of members of the Rogueport Regulars, including yourself.

Your team steal is active once every two nights. Your team kill is active once every two nights. Your team kill functions differently than most other teams. To send in a kill, you must also send in a number of Smogon usernames and/or aliases that are alive and are allied with the Rogueport Regulars. The current number required is 8, but you know that this may decrease under certain conditions. If at least 2 of the usernames or aliases submitted are not allied with the Rogueport Regulars, the kill will fail. You will not know if a kill fails for this reason or for other reasons.

You are holding Emerald Star Fortress Key #3. Use this to retrieve the Emerald Star.

You are allied with the Rogueport Regulars. You win if you eliminate the Shadow Squad, the X-Nauts, the Dragons, and the Pianta Syndicate

So what happened to the Wise Ones? They sadly could not complete their objective in time, as I ruled against having the game purposely stalled so they could win. Nurse/Amelia and Vaporeon User/Fort Colorcastle tried hard but could not pull it out. (Being regularly stolen from did NOT help them at all.)

Dear Nurse,
You are Merlon.

You are the generic wizard guy who appears in the first three games. You see into the future, and use that knowledge to guide Mario in his quest to save the world from whatever the new threat is. Now, your divinations show that you must acquire all the Crystal Stars, lest anyone else be mislead into misusing them.

You are able to harness the energy of Shine Sprites. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Pull from <alias1>, <alias2>, etc”. You will obtain any items that your targets are holding. You may target one alias per each Shine Sprite you hold. You know that if you obtain all the Shine Sprites in the game, you will get an additional ability.

You can also use your magic to empower others. You may PM the hosts with “Day X - Empower <Smogon username>”. Your target will gain the ability to stop someone from completing actions during the following night. However, you will make off with all of their items.

You have set up a barrier to ward off evildoers. The first kill aimed at your faction that would otherwise be successful will fail.

Since you are a mysterious being, all information roles targeting you will fail.

Since you have no interest in this conflict other than to protect the Crystal Stars, you have no teamkill, and your vote counts for nothing. You may vote, and your alias will show up if you are in the majority, but your vote will have no impact on deciding majority.

You have your trusty ally Merluvlee aiding you in this conflict. You know that <Aubisio/Vaporeon User> is Merluvlee.

Your team ability is, once every two nights, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Divine Guard <alias>”. Your target will be immune to all harmful actions. You may not target yourself with this ability.

Your team steal is active three out of every four nights. You have no team kill.

You are holding Shine Sprite #1. Not everyone has a use for these.

You are allied with the Wise Ones. You win if you eliminate the Dragons and obtain all 7 Crystal Stars. You lose if every other faction has either won or lost and you do not have all 7 Crystal Stars. You know that if you win, the Crystal Stars will be removed from the game.

Dear Vaporeon User,
You are Merluvlee.

You are one of Merlon’s relatives, and you also appear in each of the first three games. Rather than help directly with Mario’s quest, you help people find things, for a fee. You find all manner of useful items that indirectly power up the user, thus helping them on your quest. Also, you’re allegedly one of the most beautiful of them all, but no one’s seen your face.

You have the keen ability to sense items. You may PM the hosts with “Day/Night X - Sense <Faction>”. If anyone on that faction dies, you will scoop up their items before they can be otherwise distributed. If you use this during the day, you may not use it the following night, and if you use this during the night, you may not use it the following day.

You will also use your sense of purpose to find the fortresses guarding the Crystal Stars. You may PM the hosts with “Night X - Feel <alias>”. You will determine if your target is a fortress, an NPC, or a player.

Since you are a mysterious being, all information roles targeting you will fail.

Since you have no interest in this conflict other than to protect the Crystal Stars, you have no teamkill, and your vote counts for nothing. You may vote, and your alias will show up if you are in the majority, but your vote will have no impact on deciding majority.

You have your trusty ally Merlon aiding you in this conflict. You know that <Amelia/Nurse> is Merlon.

Your team ability is, once every two nights, you may PM the hosts with “Night X - Divine Guard <alias>”. Your target will be immune to all harmful actions. You may not target yourself with this ability.

Your team steal is active three out of every four nights. You have no team kill.

You are holding the Magical Map. If you obtain all the keys to a particular fortress, you will learn the alias of that fortress.

You are allied with the Wise Ones. You win if you eliminate the Dragons and obtain all 7 Crystal Stars. You lose if every other faction has either won or lost and you do not have all 7 Crystal Stars. You know that if you win, the Crystal Stars will be removed from the game.

We may or may not make a postgame (i'm notoriously lazy with these), but i figure in the meantime I will post the links to the spreadsheet and the Role PM Doc. The Role PM doc has the abilities of the crystal stars and some people also had hidden abilities that were not revealed. It also has my design notes on how the factions were supposed to work, their strengths and weaknesses, etc. Through the Role PM doc you can find a couple anonymous contact documents, but I dont think anything substantial happened in any of them.

[Panic Station]

Amelia I only hit you once and I was the one who gave the sprites back. I don't appreciate being slandered over it.

 

[Lrr]

The Goose is loose

 

[Hitmonleet]

Besides getting recruited so late in the game (I'm still a bit peeved about that tbh), this was a really fun game! Props to the hosts, and apologies to LW and BT for getting crushed.

 

[Blazade]

Wooooo

Pleasure working with you, Pidge. Thanks zorbees and Aura Guardian for hosting!

 

[Blazade]

Yeah we were the ones that fucked over the wise ones by ensuring every star was locked down all game and holding their sprites just as long.

 

[Pidge]

Thanks for the game, zorbees and Aura Guardian. Also, I think I made a good team with Blazade, whom I learned some stuff about playing mafia from. Also, from this game and others, I like playing with and/or against Haruno. Oh and there's Paperblade. :thinking:

 

[Fort Colorcastle]

FortColors-Today at 10:32 AM
our wincon is just bullshit to begin with
"snatch the 7 most valuable items out from under everyone else's noses, AND get a faction killed, without any kills or lynches"




Because at this point I almost fully agree with this.

 

[Fort Colorcastle]

that was like day 3 or 4

 

[Ditto]

Get carried scrubs

 

[Lrr]

Thanks for the game, zorbees and Aura Guardian. Also, I think I made a good team with Blazade, whom I learned some stuff about playing mafia from. Also, from this game and others, I like playing with and/or against Haruno. Oh and there's Paperblade. :thinking:

you didn't even buy me an aghs

 

[Pidge]

you didn't even buy me an aghs

We passed you Aghs a set of keys on the final night before the game ended.

 

[Lrr]

Also in case anyone cares to go decode my messages

[6:58 PM] zoa: http://codebeautify.org/encrypt-decrypt
[6:58 PM] zoa: algorithm use loki97
[6:58 PM] zoa: key can be
[6:58 PM] zoa: nv82oak%!llamnTWINISGAY

it's probably mostly useless without pidge's half of the conversation but at least now we all know twin is gay

 

[ariariadne]

Once again I continue my trend of getting screwed in increasingly creative scenarios for an alarming percent of the smogon games I play... for fuck's sake, double check things before you have to ask the question "he's the co-mod right?"

That's all I have to say, just using my complaint equity before I forget. I was really sad to not get to do much this game because it looked fun.
