Thank you so much for the awesome game @GrySun @Gryffindor !
The mechs were great, Vestiges of War had me excited all the way through, preordained felt cool but also dangerous at times, and overall each stratagem had its interesting drawbacks which added a unique layer of depth to this game that was fun to navigate!
Lots of love to my team who kept up morale in the face of a shaky Day 1 and a scary upcoming Day 2! On that topic...
Huge respect to Bran for playing a near-optimal solo mafia line. There really wasn't any space left to move as the whole composition closed in on you in the end. Very well played!
Thank you all for the lovely game, and if anyone read the wall I'm not sure why you would but thanks

Lots of love to my team who kept up morale in the face of a shaky Day 1 and a scary upcoming Day 2! On that topic...
Night 1
Lambu wasn't available for a lot of it. But he showed, and in that brief window shared and planned everything we needed him to between Daytime codes for Spy Network, Night actions, and general game plan. He left, wishing us fine scheming, and expressing that if it comes down to it we can sacrifice him because he believes in the rest of us, and especially Panda to be able to grow our position this game.
Bran nods in approval, delegating strategy talk to me and Copan while he sets up a dictionary of codes which he'll use to convey his Mafia Det results. Never have I been more confident in our information network. By the end of that night, we were going to unravel half of the game-state, and manage to communicate it to each other completely covertly.
All the meanwhile I have a secret rendezvous with James. He is intense, and fiercely accurate. He points a finger at two of my teammates, Lambu and Copan, and declares with certainty they are evil. He then plans to recruit Brandish, expressing some doubt and curiosity over his position.
Fuck
It felt like we may have lost the game there and then. I cannot describe to you how overpowering his conviction felt; we needed to elevate trust in Lambu and Copan the most given their current position leading up to Day 2, but James genuinely caught them on a social angle that was hard to argue against. To top it off, he'll suicide on one of our generals and eventually figure him out too ------
Meanwhile in the meeting room, it's me and Panda revisiting plans and organizing information. We discuss who we think is what, mark which enemies are generals, mark which enemies have roles that can catch us. We tactically block DD to discredit him; we needed not only to elevate our position but to also devalue real town. We comb past games based on people's hints, I listen to Tubb's music and figure out his too. We conclude that Shino had a decent chance of being a General, and potentially a dangerous info role. We conclude that Tubbs is either a PGO or Bomb which could be defused using James. We weren't quite right, but it's not like town was gonna make it easy anyway.
------ Snapping back to the mason chat, I had tabbed out for a while and come back to a pause in James' walls.
James: "(Nash) what would be your picks? (to recruit)"
Nash: "Tubbs or Stylether"
James: "but we aren't sus on any of them, are we?"
Nash: "No--- these are the safe options imo, we gather numbers in the background, confirm them, and make a strong lategame"
James: "Alright."
Hell yeah
Not only was James potentially gonna die into Tubbs, he'd defuse him at worst and stay the hell away from Bran for a while. Maybe him dying would even throw him off of Lambu and Copan!
On top of that, Copan correctly predicted where Sam's shot would most likely end up. We had good confidence that he may have just shot Juviii, making our lives even easier!
Night is ending.
Panda: "I will fight off the whole thread--- as usual--- by wars end we will be drenched in debauchery!"
Brand: Finishes scribing all possible MDet outcomes "I would have it no other way"
Lambu: "If any of you is a lover, fuck you. Good luck."
Nash: "
_cat:"
Day 2
Vote to save; Troublemaker makes this a double lynch with 3 votes each!
This is it! Our chance at the fastest mafia victory yet. Panda as our rookie can learn noble, I as a politician can move a vote, we can munipulate two misslynches today, Sam probably shot Juviii, James may have suicided on Tubbs----
James lives
Juviii lives
All town generals live
DD claims to block Bran
Erin claims to spy Copan
Shino counterclaims Copan
Fuck
The town armies were closing in. It was looking like we'd have to use scorched earth tactics. Both Lambu and Copan will have to sacrifice all credibility to elevate me and Bran while also taking as many town with them as possible. My politician vote will save at least 1 --- darn troublemaker.
I commend Farfalla. She was doubtful of her choice but I could reassure her it was a bold and debilitating strike. However, it would be the last which town has ---- from here me and Bran will take credit for the slow sacrifice of Copan & Lambu and we'll win this siege.
"Fucking Masons" --- somewhere in the background, a voice from about knee-height
BANG
Prosecuted.
I commend Juviii. She had no hesitation for her choice, and all I could do was gaslight her that she's dead in a pitiful attempt at pretending like I have the upper hand.
That's fine. Town has no more.
We're down 3/4 mafia; I am dead and Town are itching to lynch both Copan and Lambu. There is one hope, Brandish, who has remained covert in all of this. If we just drag out our lives and give him enough time, he may just blend with the illusions for long enough.
Mission objective: Lynch 2 town. No matter the cost.
Day ends 14:30 --- my shift at work starts 14:00
I cast my politician vote early, I have to.
But that's fine, at the very least Copan will survive this and give us one more day. Hopefully Lambu works some magic too.
Fuck you --- Chainsaw Noises
Holt cuts the vote down.
Panda dies, saving Lambu.
Nash dies, shot in the face.
Next Day, lambu dies, doomed by Panda's vote, but doomed without them too.
To shreds. Town had more.
Every single Town General brought mafia a lethal blow --- James with his deduction, Juviii with her toy gun, Fafalla with her bold demand for blood D2.
Their soldiers devastated us too --- Holt cut the corrupt vote on Panda down, Shino counter claimed Panda, DD legitimised himself, Erin caught Panda, Tubbs navigated mafia mason accusations, Demon was too dangerous to leave alive, Stylether started to sniff me out before my death....
Speechless.
From feast to famine, the mafteam went from in control to complete collapse in one day.
And it wasn't just luck, we won all coinflips. It wasn't bullshit setups, we were powerful too.
It was all play. We got outplayed. So there's nothing left to say except...
GG, WP!
