Games Mafia Game 69 - Overlord - Postgame

[Lambu]

The sun rises on Nazarick, it was a cold day with icy wind howling outside, and the surviving members of The Tomb gathered once again around Lord Ainz. He had an important announcement to make.
They had found Pandora's Actor body, lifeless in the snow. No signs of violence were found.

Spoiler: Night Results

James Rye
Doctor

What a terrible loss, everyone was already losing faith and even Lord Ainz, with all his might, looked kind of depressed with the news...










But... suddenly, the body raised on its own feet... (?)

"It was all an act guys"



What the..? How could this happen?! Albedo had checked the body and it was definitely dead! What's the meaning of this...

Oh my! Santa Claus has come!! He had been handing gifts secretly to all the members of Nazarick to cheer them up, and as a 5th gift he gave Pandora's actor a superprotection charm!


What a Christmas Miracle! \=3=/


THIRD PARTY WINS!!!

The Grynch

Nice Trivia!:

• James saved the Grynch on N1
• Seraph was on point in almost all his deduction during DayPhases
• DD investigated both TPs in two nights, shame he was caught first.
• Gry betrays Van once more (even if he didn't know it...heh)

Also we were quite surprised with how underrated Agility was. It certainly had potential to change a lot of developments if more points were spent on it. Defense was good, but against strength users it was pretty much useless.

 

[lindananahayashida]

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas!

Hey! Congratulations. Tbh, I was nervous when it was only revo & me. But to think that you actually survived & played all alone! That was really cool!

So, as a gift to you I'll try my best to lynch / kill you from now on! (JK!).

So much for complimenting me, you are the real deal! But honestly, Im really happy that you won!

 

[Farfalla]

Especially the poison, had to fly to Brazil to get it in a local store

Oh so you brought him some coral snakes

 

[GrySun]

First of all, congrats Gry and thanks for the game, hosts, especially Elu that was left alone with a game in her hands and still went on with the game for our sake.

Now let's get to business. This game was extremely hard to play. Everyone I trusted was either lynched or killed at night. There was no one to lead cause, you know, they were all mafia or TP and the only ones that were defending the townies being lynched were actually mafia (and me and Gnut). And then that bish janitor killed Gnut. You have no idea how I hated the janitor all game (I always do though). Should have votekilled my usual prey D1 like I intended!
Meanwhile being TP in this game was so smooth and easy. No partners to cover, no pressure to give hints and, hear me out:
Jammins role made me so jealous. He wasn't announced like I was when I was SS, no martyr to counter him. I was just left to die with a role full of traps but not Jammin, Jammin had a clear way. Man, so unfair! I'm so jealous! But nice work, Jammin! You did well, just complaining about the situation not you.
Oh and Santa, he had the best gift of all. Presents that you can't see. Good. No one to complain about having received them. The most stealth role ever. Almost like it was meant to win.

But it's so easy for no players, let's all trash talk those useless townies, man they are so lame. If I was playing man, this would never happen! Sure! Go play the same game you are trashing and then talk.
This is why I like to have killing roles. At least I can do some work alone. Bad thing I can't kill spectators but oh well, still better than this.

Wow seeing you so cutely salty is a new sight Shapeshifter surprised me too, this time he was actually approved for testing but still needed to be announced, but I forgot to write that post in the rules thread The lack of Martyr wasn‘t bad since the role got changed so that Martyr doesn‘t break illusions anymore. Which I maybe also forgot to write... Gotta put in some more work.
As for Santa, why were you or anyone under the impression that you know when you get a present? That was literally never the case with Santa gifts. They can do anything the hosts want, but player is never notified they got a present. People making up rules

You are right with player comments about „LUL town“, especially from spectators or dead people. A good rant. But I do remember most of them all having situations where they were LUL townies, Magi especially, so I take it all very humorously

--- Double Post Merged, Dec 23, 2018, Original Post Date: Dec 23, 2018 ---

@Juviii That's why I think the Martyr need some reworking to prevent him becoming an Illusion breaker with 100% success rate. Or the Illusion 2nd role gets changed that only night actions kill the illusion.

And yeah, normally we know if we received a gift from Santa. Like Vand should have been told he received a gift from Santa and that he can open it, which would poison him, or not. This way Santa was a stealth Ninja able to hide that long till Lindan received NVD because there was always stuff like Mafia Poisoner or so that could be argued against Santa case. I think it was a bit too strong of an ability to not have the ones being gifted been made aware of said gifts.

No we don‘t

--- Double Post Merged, Dec 23, 2018 ---

Literally not how Santa ever worked in any game.

Oh? You say Magi especially but if we put the meme troll game from OW aside, which games aside from the end day phase of KnB are you referring to since I haven't played that many games as townie lol. xD

Not being notified doesn't mean you don't know. You will know if something weird happens to you. Just like the non-voter disease.

 

[GrySun]

Why should we put the meme OW game aside? I did mean that one, heh.

The Santa gifts were actually picked really well. The game roles too. Will write in more detail soon.

 

[Purity of Magi]

Ah, okay, then it's gucci. Your comment implied as if there were more so that caught my curiousty. Funny tho, I was even meme'ing with Greg yesterday about that game in the deadpad. x)

@Juviii git gud next time. <3

 

[GrySun]

So first of all, big thanks to @Elusia and @Lambu for hosting this christmas game. To be honest I got worried when Spirit left, but Elu still wanted to host and Lambu helped, and from what I can tell the game went flawlessly without mistakes and it was a very fun game. Not saying that just because I won tho This wasn‘t as posts-filled like WoW game or some others, but it doesn‘t need to either. A lot of fun things happened, many great plays, and not too difficult to backread.
The stat point system was very interesting, but don‘t recall if apart from the Asako thing it did much else this game Also Agility was kinda underwhelming compared to Str for the Chads and Def for the cowards.

Winning as Santa feels as amazing as I imagined it would It really was difficult though. I expected me to die rather soon, or be Det investigated or blocked. But I had both tons of luck and enough good plays to last me til the end.
My general game plan was to contribute enough, while not too enough to aeem dangerous to mafia. Docs and Defense stat exist, but didn‘t want to rely on those, so better to stay in the shadows a bit more. Another fun thing that complements this Santa playstyle is that Santa really doesn‘t care who gets lynched, be it all townies or all mafias. I couldn‘t care less, tho the amount of screwups was fun to see I suspected desin and Gryff long ago, Linda as well but tried to suck up to them here and there, and not outright call out anyone. Except Asako, but I always bully her Only revo surprised me, since she played different than in her last game, but prolly the extra experience of what she did wrong the game before.

Stats-wise, I got +3 like everyone for surviving, and +1 for successful night action, so I knew how many nights I still had to survive, which is very neat. I put 1 value stat point in Str just in case the 3% ever help to roll it just in case, all the rest into Def. Think I ended with 3% Str and 45% Def. Not sure if it ever helped tho, was lucky in what other people did.

Sorry @Vandred Santa has no idea what gifts he‘s handing out. Only later it occurred to me that I maybe poisoned you, and postgame confirmed it.. Was hoping you get something strong or cool like Mafia Det action. Gnut I gifted because I like my uncle Next Gryffindor since I suspected he was mafia and thus more Str and less Def.
Next ones I picked according to what they said about stats. Linda said early that maxing one stat is boring, so thought she‘d have less Def and smaller odds for me to fail. Finishing with James who openly said he put all into Str

The presents were very interestingly picked. Poison status kills someone early, but not right away. Turning someone into Freeman is fantastic for me, as it speeds up my win. Removing everyone‘s skill points though, this is where it starts to get bad for me. Was amazing since it maybe made Gryff easier to be killed by Jammin, but it confirmed a Santa was in the game if that person spoke up, like Gryff did. Same with the NVD, it starting so late is either a Sickly who failed 3 nights in a row or a late Santa gift, which further is there to alert the players that Santa is still there, on Day 5. Got me a bit worried, but it worked out well.

Role-wise, there was a lot of Anti-Santa Mafia Det, Spy and Mortician(is a direct counter to me since I love to fake active claims, I almost said I bodyguarded Vand N1 but Juviii wrote her role before I did, which saved me ). I learned to be less eager with my claiming, and the extra patience made sure I don‘t get screwed over. I also considered claiming Hider, which would‘ve equally been a disaster

Town was pretty strong this game tbh, 2 useful Dets, Apprentice, 2 Sane Docs, Prostitute, Mortician, Noble, I Child... But it was very well balanced with a strong Mafia. The Gambler threw me off, I never got targeted nor did anyone ever complain about getting their vote corrupted. Really good and thought out game, big props to Elu and Spirit for making this. Feeling proud of @Tux, he started off as my cohost

I also looove how connected this game‘s happenings are, everything led to something else. The Vand poisoning led to Asako‘s demise, James saving me led to all that and a Santa win(town could‘ve still won thanks to Jammin), only sad thing about Santa win is that I‘m really curious how the game would‘ve continued. People bought my claim so I prolly would‘ve made it more nights if needed

Thanks to everyone for playing, was one of the most fun games yet. Wish you all a great christmas and new years‘ eve!

[Vandred]

Okay, time to update the list of Christmas presents in this game:

@Crescent Jinx - D1 lynch with an unlynchable role
@MarmaladeSky - D2 lynch with an equally unlynchable role
@Seraph - has the most on-point observations all game, spends three days trying to lynch a townie, succeeds when she becomes Sane Det, just in time to get a @Zasz to the face with an unlynchable claim
@Vandred - N1 Santa gift is poison
@gnut - N2 Santa gift is a role switch from Doc to Freeman, gets killed N3
@James Rye - salt rage over Zasz and town playing badly, saved Santa on N1
@SonOfDaws - the only action he manages to perform before being the first to get killed fails because of RNG with very low odds
@Asako - tries to learn from me, succeeds in spite of minimal odds, becomes the only Sane Det left, gets bandwagoned by everyone right after
@desin24 and @Gryffindor - celebrate all game for eazy win, bandwagon Jammin, get shattered as his Shapeshifter Illusions
@Jammin - hides behind the other TP on N1, doesn't eliminate him thanks to James' protection, that TP wins
@digitaldude - gets Guilty result on both TPs, gets Janitorized before getting to reveal anything
@lindananahayashida and @revo - are convinced Gry is Santa, they go for a confirmed townie instead and lose
@Juviii - confirms for everyone that there's a Santa, gets mostly ignored, is continuously told the town is dumb and playing awfully, claims a moment too early to catch the Santa in a lie
@GrySun - doesn't get Pom to play when he's Santa because of a host mistake? I don't know

So I think @Takuan and @Belserion are the only ones who managed to escape getting memed in this game. The real winners?

Van: “Well it’s not like he was actually present to play”

This is very accurate

Half part of the strategy, other half really had no time.

First TP and Santa win goes to the man on a plane without a plan. Another confirmation that the best TP strategy is to participate as little as possible but congrats for the hollow victory I guess -333-/

Thanks to @Lambu and @Elusia for hosting the game, one for the hall of fame for several reasons, I think I think the Christmas spirit really showed, especially with the detail of putting poison and disease in Santa's gifts °3°

Oh so you brought him some coral snakes

You really can find a in everything

@Vandred it's really is the fourth time that gry killed you,impressive

It really is impressive to see how many times he's managed to get me killed mostly accidentally, especially considering we have an agreement of not trying to kill one another

Altho I was happy at @Vandred death! In fact, I wanted to eliminate you on the first night for making such a bad decision!

Oh, it wasn't so bad in my eyes But as you found out, you need to get in line for that, sister

Role-wise, there was a lot of Anti-Santa Mafia Det, Spy and Mortician(is a direct counter to me since I love to fake active claims, I almost said I bodyguarded Vand N1 but Juviii wrote her role before I did, which saved me ). I learned to be less eager with my claiming, and the extra patience made sure I don‘t get screwed over. I also considered claiming Hider, which would‘ve equally been a disaster

Aye boyz, hinting early only helps the scum, we should all try to be as shady as possible all the time

 

[Seraph]

@Seraph - has the most on-point observations all game, spends three days trying to lynch a townie, succeeds when she becomes Sane Det, just in time to get a @Zasz to the face with an unlynchable claim

You know...i'm just gonna be proud that you praised my observations before reminding me of the harsh reality of my sudden death.

 

[Vandred]

You know...i'm just gonna be proud that you praised my observations before reminding me of the harsh reality of my sudden death.

You sudden death wasn't really your fault, but getting my faithful Asako lynched in her moment of glory was definitely your fault. So you deserved that - thanks, avenger @Zasz, for bringing this man to justice

 

[Takuan]

What an unexpected ending xD
Thanks for the gale everyone, and especially dear hosts @Elusia @Lambu =)

 

[Elusia]

So I think @Takuan and @Belserion are the only ones who managed to escape getting memed in this game. The real winners?

I got one for Bel, but I'll save that when I make a big post tomorrow
The only thing that Takuan did that may consider to be a meme is not hiding at night. Not once, but twice

But I guess that's normal compared to.. pretty much everyone

 

[Seraph]

You sudden death wasn't really your fault, but getting my faithful Asako lynched in her moment of glory was definitely your fault. So you deserved that - thanks, avenger @Zasz, for bringing this man to justice

Had i lived another night,i had spied on Gry and questioned him about his target...i could've redeemed myself.

 

[Jammin]

So I think @Takuan and @Belserion are the only ones who managed to escape getting memed in this game. The real winners?

You couldn't be more wrong. The real winner in this, clearly and without question, is @Zasz.

His trolling was next level this game. You just can't see the brilliance of it. Without his distraction of killing Seraph there is a good chance I would have been found out earlier or not hidden behind him. It was all one long elaborate bankshot in which he used me to kill myself, Desin, and Gryff at the very reasonable cost of Seraph and his own life.

Zasz is a champion. A legendary hero of town. Songs should be sung of him. Parades should be held in his honor. He was playing chess while us simpletons were playing checkers.

See Zasz for who he truely is!

See Zasz for who he truely is!

See? I am not the only thinking Zasz was trolling. No way he really believed Seraph to be a Mafia with two people confirming Seraphs two night investigations, it just doesn't add up to me. The chance for Seraph to be a Mafia faking Spy was way too low and even if he was doing so, we could have just waited one more night to trap the Spy by having him investigate an action role and if he's wrong, head off.

 

[digitaldude]

Why didn't you guys see I was against jammin? Only gnut pointed it out but for some reason you guys wanted to kill Asako from day 1.
