GAME END


Within one swift night, the world's deadlock was broken. Moebius lost full control of the world, and the Endless now came to an end.

But, the new world that would be created would not be a return to what should have been in the truest sense. No, just one individual outsmarted all and gained the strength to reforge the world to his own desires.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

There are a few thank yous I want to make before I head off to bed because HOLY FUCK it is late.

Firstly, to my wonderful co-host and friend @Lambu for helping me build this game that I'm incredibly proud of. We put a lot of time into it, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. It wouldn't of been anything like this without your expertise and input so thank you for joining me on creating this!

Secondly, thank you to @Marmalade! You nailed the aesthetic with the avatars and this game wouldn't of looked anywhere near as nice as it did without all your hard work! Thank you for helping me reach my creative vision!

Thirdly, I'd like to give a thank you to @Copy Panda! Not only was the furry fella our substitute in case he was needed, but in the early days of idea brewing late last year, I had the idea of adapting The Devil from the Chainsaw Man game I got to co-host with him and tweaking it for a new setting. He gave me his blessing and was another pivotal point of feedback for game construction so thank you my friend

Fourthly, this game nearly had a completely different set-up due to player numbers, but in the face of adversity some incredible people stepped up to fill the plate- Bel, Jammin, Kat: thank you for helping us reach the number of players we needed for the game to run as we envisioned, and for your crucial parts that you played!

Finally, thank you to all the players! I'm so glad you all joined us for this game. I love the Xenoblade series and I had a wonderful time creating the game with Lambu, as well as hosting it! Thank you to all who made it possible, and on one last note: CONGRATULATIONS HARDY!!!

mafia detective role isn't secondary, i wasn't talking about ouroboros role, my theory had GB as mafia ouroboros

So you is thinking there is being Mafia Detective on top of Mafia Detective ourobro? Glimmer does not have think.

 

[Farfalla]

Glimmer thinks that would be being killing the ourobRo purpose if there was a main mafia detective. But Glimmer doesn't know much about hosting nowadays.

Well yeah, same. But again, it's been a fanfic fest.

 

[Hardy]

Awn man this is gonna be a long ride...
If Jamz or Bran won't die today and we mislynch, I'll lose my will to continue playing, rly.
People being scared about possible but farfetched scenarios and ignoring BOTH GB and Bel's claim is like UGH.
But sure, play the game the way you prefer.




Anyways, was gonna post something else:
Gry asked why would mafia has a doctor with no other killers around. The rules do state that the Ouro are Town and Mafia factions, and then maybe the answer to that is cause Hardy ain't townie lover but mafia lover and has an Ouro:

No wonder he comments on a 2 men mafia, lol. I'm not 100 per cent believing Tatsu's town, could be mafia as well since they had a lover, but on the other hand I wanna believe our town team ain't so small, with a freeman among our ranks on top of all...

Thought she meant main role M Det but I'm barely reading at this point. Too annoyed with the idea it looks like we'll have to battle on votes so we don't see a James mafia case all over again.

Bruh the whole reason you are just pissed at me because of game balance talk which I said is irrelevant. We do not know what the hosts did.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023 ---

Your board there literally has 2 mafia members wtf

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023 ---

Oh I'm mafia member/lover/ouroboros nvm

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023 ---

Talking about balance, as you brought this up, 2 mafias > 2 mafias + a mafia with a lover. It weakens the team and adds another party against them.

 

[Farfalla]

What's bugging me rn is that I strongly think that:
-Lawl lied about blocking Brand.
-Brand knows this because his action gave him feedback.

Ah Sanse, you're so dirty... You built a case on Bran yourself, said he was 95 per cent antitown, and now you're building your way out from voting him...
So what makes Bran believable about "knowing he wasn't block cause his feedback info isn't bullshit" against Misho saying he actually got blocked? Enlighten me who's Bran more credible, before you finish your 360 to set GB for a lynch.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023, Original Post Date: Jul 25, 2023 ---

So I'm... currently thinking he's Santa and stalling in any way he can.

No, you're just building your argument not to lynch Bran today and lynch Misho instead.

But hey! That's fine, Bran's Santa for you, right? Then we lynch Jammin. Simple, right, townie Hardy? You can lynch Jammin, correct?

I'm between Bran or Jammin actually I just think that if the former is Santa then it's extremely suboptimal to lynch him.

Just the interactions between the 2 of them. I think if Lawl was genuine he would had been more assertive about it rather than beating around the bush.

In this scenario, Lawl is town. Lying, but town.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023, Original Post Date: Jul 25, 2023 ---

At no point I said we should lynch Lawl why are you putting words in my mouth?

 

[Farfalla]

Bruh the whole reason you are just pissed at me because of game balance talk which I said is irrelevant. We do not know what the hosts did.

First I'm not pissed, a bit down it's unlucky you ain't town. And honestly overwhelmed cause of the amount of fighting we have ahead with antitowns that are willing to preserve each other to eliminate us first.
Second, it matters since you keep crafting stories not to lynch either Bran or Jamz today.
Show me you'll lynch one of those 2 then.

I'm not. Just feeling that's what you're up to. If you say you wanna lynch either Bran or Jamz then awesome.

it was just a theory xD I'm not pressing on it, hence why i asked for thoughts on it, because i tend to overthink

 

[Brandish μ]

If he was a real det he would be open to this possibility, why not?

So I'm... currently thinking he's Santa and stalling in any way he can.

I think this only works if digitaldude claims psych to and somehow he guesses right on GB. Seems like we're asking alot.

Alternatively there is a 'detective' who has provided no sensitivity that fits Santa better.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023, Original Post Date: Jul 25, 2023 ---

Hmm maybe Hardy is mafia. Seems quite odd that he's trusting GB over Bel (noting that trusting Jammin over me is completely understandable).

 

[Farfalla]

Trusting GB and Bel isn't mutually exclusive.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023, Original Post Date: Jul 25, 2023 ---

Well, got a gazillion meetings now.

It doesn't 'need to be'.

This lawl mafia theory is kinda hilarious ig, sacrifice myself to kill bra when can easily play in the shadows and build a possible case on digi or some afkers. Defenetely would have a reaction hardy wanted from me

Funnily, you'll probably be lynched next.

Votelock Jammin

 

[GrySun]

that's kinda bad tho xD, I mean ok Jamm could be santa, but that means 1. kill last night wasn't prevented by doc protection on Farf, but it also means night wasn't prevented by Bel's block on Jamm, and also, bel claiming to block jamm who claims he targeted farf, and farf claiming to get gift so if jamm santa, bel didn't block him.

So,

either bel is lying about blocking jamm, or jamm lying about targets.

Did Jamm claim his targets after farf claimed to have received a gift?

Sth doesn't sit right with me here.

I was thinking at some point farf could be mafia detective, and the more i think about it the more i'm scared of it being true.
Hear me out:
-That's how she would know demon had secondary, and maybe she decided to throw him under the bus to gain credibility for her psy claim later on.
-That's why she'd be confident enough to counterclaim DD, but then go with the idea that it's not impossible to have 2 psys, putting a bit of dirt on him but also not getting him lynched so that she doesn't risk getting lynched next, and also to reinforce later that there's two psys (since there were last game as well).
-That would also make Brandish's targets real and make him be the sane detective, also further proves DD is real psy
-In this scenario, GB would be mafia ouroboros, since DD found him with secondary, he also doesn't mention what action he performed on Kat, his block on brandish bothers me tho, cuz brand claims result on farf, if he's mafia ouro why would he not actually block him, unless he blocked someone else but nobody claimed being blocked right?
-i'm not sure if someone can confirm if mafia can see who ppl targeted?

@Hardy @GrySun @Kat

what are your thoughts on this?

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023 ---

also on the farf theory, she could have gone for tatsu who's also mafia to say she has no secondary to buy time

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023 ---

so in this scenario, farf tatsu and gb are the mafias, and mby jammin is actually santa

You quoted my post a lot but are still missing that GB blocking Brandish could also be a reason we got no kill, thought that‘s why you even voted Brandish initially? Maybe you‘re confused by him stating he wasn‘t blocked, but from his posts it‘s clear he hoped to cause some DD vs Farf mislynch damage.

As for Farf, I thought she could be Ouroboros but DD disproved it. And main role M. Det, it is possible but unlikely? We can‘t know what the hosts were thinking until postgame, but getting rid of fake Det Brandish should bring us in the right direction for the rest of the scums. Wouldn‘t go for Farf unless we‘re scraping the bottom of the barrel/are done with all scums and only „confirmed“ people are left. Traitors/Lovers will reopen everyone for suspecting if it gets to that with missing kills anyway.

--- Double Post Merged, Jul 25, 2023 ---

Glimmer wants to know why detective isn't needing much effort to play properly. Is you being arrogant or was you not knowing what you were claiming yet?

I played Det countless times by now, the role likes me. Pretty much always did well with it too. Call it arrogance if you will, but I quickly ate those words later on D1 when I noticed all the vanillas I think I made a post saying how it‘s very inconvenient for me, was thinking of having to navigate Millers.

 

[Brandish μ]

Man there's no need to go all in when you don't know a thing Gry, i.e., 'fake det'. Even if you're scum you'll be next on the chopping block. The only thing that'll save your neck is you might have to wait in line after Jammin, GB, Hardy also. If you're town you're losing the game for town.

 

[GrySun]

!votelock Brandish should confirm me as our sole Det. Mafia shouldn‘t have a way to block me so should be smooth sailing unless kill was a recruit and not a prevention.

If he‘s mafia ouroboros as he should be, Santa is someone else who will be at 3/5 gifts delivered at start of next day. Plenty of time to find and deal with him/her unless we get distracted too much by mafias.

What post is this referring to or this just general sentiment? I don‘t share Farf‘s sentiment of Lover shenanigans atm so we should be doing fine if last night‘s kill was prevented.

If you wanna be a helpful townie, who would you lynch next Day, like 1/2 names don‘t just give a bunch of names.

These are the type of comments I'm talking about. It's dumb town play or okay-ish-but-meh scum play.

 

[GrySun]

Elaborate. What was the smart play, was I supposed to think you‘re the second town Det?
