GIFTS LIST

❄ Brewster's Gift "Drink it hot or give it up." (Hot Potato)
The Hot Potato explodes at the end of a day designated by the host before the start of the game, killing the player holding it. The holder of the Hot Potato doesn't know when it will explode, but he can pass it to another player at night, separately from any night ability he has. This passing can't be blocked. If the holder gets killed, the Potato explodes killing both the holder and the killer; if the holder is lynched, the Potato [dies with him].
❄ Kicks' Gift "You never know how things might turn out." (single-use Bar Keeper redirect)
One player ends up being the drunkest and uses his night action on a random player.
❄ CJ's Gift "A night cruise is a good way to catch night fish." (single-use Mafia Detective)
The Mafia Detective has the ability to investigate one player per Night and learn the player's Role. Only he is told the role of his target via PM. Whenever the Mafia Detective's investigation ability is performed, he cannot be chosen to go for a kill on the same night.
❄ Wisp's Gift "Tah-Dahh!" (this player's votes are worded as "Ho ho ho" during the next day)

❄ Jingle's Gift "Isn't this the best time of the year, kid?" Mandatory 5th Gift
(Santa Clause: this gift allows the game to go on. At the end of the game, Santa wins with the other winning party. Happy celebration ;)



Now first lemme thank @Erinyes for her massive participation in the game. At first, I got the November slot to host alone, and she asked me to join and I'm so happy she did! She's not only a very curious and interested person so we had a very nice and easy time discussing our ideas, but she also has the strength and endurance of a lion... I was often dead while we were hosting, but Erinchi followed everything and kept the game organized. She barely slept @.@ And that's a testimony I really needed to share with you all, 'cause her dedication and calm deserve lots of appreciation.

Also thanks @Hardy and @Vandred for double-checking the game mech (and in Poop's case, the comp as well) and giving us your honest thoughts, so we could try to present a game that would be fair and entertaining to people.

And finally, even tho some other points were addressed already, I'd like to thank all the players, from the heart. I know this game was too soon because of my availability due to local holidays, and I know you guys were tired - which for sure didn't improve during this time lol. So I really need to commend you all, because you guys were either putting in a lot of time and effort inside the game, analyzing and discussing nonstop, or in the deadpad - you guys also got no rest. As hosts, that's the biggest kind of feedback we could get: to have you guys really onboard. Some moves were questionable, but no one can't say any of those teams weren't trying... it's only natural that drained people will make some mistakes, so to me that's another sign of the praise you guys deserve.

Quick comments about the game that I've mentioned in the deadpad already: in general, the idea with the mech was to add a simple new function (and we tried to map beforehand the main game new considerations we'd need to have it in place) but that could allow a new set of strategical moves to be exploited - now I would reconsider the priority we used since we realize it would have been more adherent to people's preference. The game also had 2 Traitors 'cause Pirate is a VERY weak mafia that can suicide and lose the ability to kill later on, so we wanted to give them better odds (lemme say it one more time in here that the notion that means town had 2 extra people to lynch is wrong, first because town had 2 killing tools in the Prosecutor and the Banshee, and second because they don't need to eliminate unrecruited traitors to win). It had 2 Psys 'cause even tho we wanted mafia to have better chances to recruit, that didn't mean we wanted them to recruit BOTH, so town had more chances to find at least one on the other hand (even if one role would get erased eventually), and at the same time the role could cause some confusion that mafia could exploit. The Mortician came in place to trace stuff like Santa and fake claims/transfers regarding any role/action that got "buried" - imo it's more effective than the SM because it can target antitown and spot unknown stuff that could still be in-game; it was a late game resource that had good chances of being effective with the role transfer mech. The Necromancer was also in there for its recycling capabilities since we'd have roles being lost, and in this setup it would be less OP than it usually is, since his options would still be reduced. The Santa was there for extra fun, imo, since the role could still be used even if the OG player and their wincon was gone: two gifts - that we expected to be the last ones - were clear signs that there was a Santa in-game in case it would fly by too successfully - and even that was just to cause some ruckus since the last gift allowed the game to go on after Santa would win - which to me it's a needed measure so we won't have sudden major frustration with an unexpected game end (I do understand why the game usually has to end when Santa is in it, so people don't ignore the role, but in this case we saw an opportunity to play around that and fix the issue regarding that); Santa's other gifts were there to provide some extra spice but unfortunately, as you can see in the night actions, I made a mistake while processing GB's action with the Hot Potato. GB got blocked by Evil when he tried to pass it to James and I overlooked it that the passing can't be blocked. It would have been simple to fix it during the day by PMing the both of them if Bran didn't spy on GB and, coincidentally, Sam hadn't claimed the exact same action and outcome. After discussing with some people, we reached the conclusion that the attitude that would cause the least interference and damage to a bigger number of players would be to just remove the Hot Potato from the game and inform that to GB, which is what we did.

GG mafia, you fought the long battle and won! GG town, it's never easy to be on the more clueless side, trying to put pieces together. GG Santa cause Santa is always fun~

Also I investigated asako and got no pm back.
I don't know why mafia let me live but not our psy... plus maybe i am paranoid and useless and they know it already^^...
my results from N2: again nothing, my action didn't work i guess...got no answer by my check on Evil :s

so probably i am dead after N3 now
2 no pms back? This either means we got two blocks or it means one of you was turned into an Illusion.

Guys don't think much about MadNat not dying.

- she didn't check her sanity
- mafia would never kill a new player early game
- new players are better left to target randomly
- she claimed after N1, could be playing the new player card by claiming det, to either force the real det to counter claim or get an easy game.

Either way, if the doc was still alive, they would have wasted their action targeting MadNat.
The doc role of Asako was in transfer though so it could not be used last night. Also wouldn't the pirate prefer to steal from MadNat, claiming they were townie pirate and "saved" the det role from being Strongman killed or constantly being blocked the whole game?

Never heard that role called weak before
It is actually quite weak due townie tending to claim roles by day 3/4 and this game even earlier meaning the M.Det can't really make use of his role at all in mid/late game.

Did you clarify if that means block or no action or both?

I mean, he's sus enough to be targetted by town Prostitute, kinda makes sense with blocking too. 🤷‍♂️ I would consider digi-lynch when such fishy investigations keep coming

DD is an illusion? Or blocked or no action was used on Asako or he is liying.

It would be good to be able to know which are possible.

You're saying Asako didn't use her role N1? Yare yare daze
That spirit medium, he claims mortician.

yea that’s what I was thinking. What about a Santa sending out presents and gave one to marma? And having hidden presents like
Blocks and protections too?
I think Santa could be cutting it a bit too close for a game of this size to fulfill their 5 successful night actions goal. And that point we could look at ten deaths already and depending on the size of Mafia it would almost be their sure win if they had no lost a single guy by then. And with two nights chances of a townie receiving a gift is really high so by now somebody should have come out with having one.

so there can be never more blockings or failed interaction during night?
i know i am not an illusion...
since i got 'guilty' on Lambu N1 but N2 nothing on Evil...

I got a headache, let cut the easiest head and be done with it :emocat

So James can't be mentor? What would a mentor need a temp role for? Would a mentee lose his secondary role when recruited?

Panda isn't the TP either.

Ok how about we forget about the TP today, we keep assuming it Lover and focus back on mafia?

Panda that head doesn't look good on you.

allthis talk on SS Made me use my noble vote too early. If Mad bay is detective, she might have lost her role to SS.

put it on Brandish for that rocking innocent child on Santa knee comment. In case you are Santa.


I mean it is always in relations to what is else in the team
Uh…. I still think I wouldn’t call it weak.

Does Poisoner not make sense on N1 Baka? Could also be an option. And then just N2 pirate fail on non-killer TP and regular kill fail / james recruit.

The guessing is something people should do in the game anyway?? Without hosts rewarding it? :SOON

I mean it’s a game where pass the roles around. so later in the game, there would maybe be a pass off of another role but right now it’s still strong.

It would make sense for mafia to use it, to free up a player to receive the strongman.

Baka is a reasonable pick, since she voted Gry and wouldn't be protected, did she claim active on D1?

The hard part to believe is marm not using pirate N1 but could also explain why panda didn't want to play D2 after I exposed his claim before he could do it.

It would depend on how much info Gry have.

@Farfalla @Erinyes are dead mafia allowed to keep reading the mafia pad after they die?

Yes was testing it to make sure I hadn’t been SS’d or had role stolen. But also because right then was thinking of a Santa cuz of that first day comment
