Batman Mafia - Page 51

My bans are my own, thus I would not expect anyone to carry them over (unless they wanted to, that's up to each individual GO though). Only reason I decided a perma-ban is because if it's just a simple mod kill, then that's more just an incentive for the cheaters to not get caught NEXT game (since they'll only have to wait a few weeks or so depending). Unfortunately, as Nikose has admitted, there have been games prior to this where he has been caught and it's still happening. Whereas if being caught cheating is a perma-ban, then I don't think anyone will try anything regardless. And yeah, I think Nikose (you're free to comment btw as is anyone else, player or not) was the only one that actually understood half the references I put into the posts.

Day 1. Solomon Grundy died at his swamp and I managed to reference his associated nursery rhyme in the lynch post.

Night 1. Fenris's target was Hush (Aldurin). I put a clue in it (noted by Scarecrow's nursery rhyme with the first word being "Hush", which was also the same nursery rhyme he sang in the storyline "Hush"). Also Night 1, the fight between Batman and Bane was extremely similar to the one that happened in Batman: TAS.

Day 2. Well Barbara Gordon getting lynched was an attempt to replay the events of the Joker ambushing her at her home from The Killing Joke (answering the door and falling through the glass table).

Night 2. Not a whole lot I could come up with here honestly, I tried to just make a halfway decent fight scene between Batman and Jason Todd that ended with them both dying. If either had lived, I know I definitely could've came up with a better conclusion, so I unfortunately just had to make do with something that was easily understood by the rest of the players (by referencing the last line about how the police concluded they killed each other).

Day 3. Ehh...honestly I didn't have a whole lot here either, just tried to make it seem like a reasonable conclusion that most of Batman's enemies would've done if they had seen a dude with Bruce Wayne's face (and they all knew Bruce Wayne = Batman).

Night 3. As awesome as the Riddler is, I wasn't about to try to concoct some elaborate trap thing in a night post, so I settled with just a simple bank robbery. The part I enjoyed writing the most was hinting at who the new person was (Nightwing).

Day 4. Black Mask, pretty simple here and not much I could do with him anyway honestly.

Night 4. Almost scene for scene and word for word recreation of the ending to the Killing Joke, except replace Nightwing with Batman along with a few of his lines.

Night 5. I just redid the same spot with Harley Quinn and made up some stuff.

Day 6. Haha, this one was difficult. The only exposure I have at all to Calendar Man is from the Long Halloween and Dark Victory along with the recent Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games (plus what little I gained from reading a few wikis). Sadly the character isn't used much and this was all I was able to come up with for the lynch post.

Night 6. Just something I made up again.

Night 7. I was getting frustrated with the lack of participation honestly here and decided "Fuck it, nobody's playing or even reading this shit anymore anyway" (with the players allowing 2 no lynches and discussion pretty much nearly stopped except for 2-3 players).

The final Day/Night post was something else I made up again, minus the line "I believe in Gotham City" (again, the Long Halloween page 1, first line from Bruce Wayne).

P.S. For those of you that were wondering, the SK role had absolutely no stipulations or anything regarding going after the Joker (and vice versa). It just seemed incredibly appropriate from a storytelling perspective, but it was awesome to see everyone speculate on it. For those of you that don't know, look into the Under the Hood storyline where Jason Todd takes up the role (previously, he was Batman's 2nd Robin, before being beaten nearly to death by the Joker with a crowbar).

I'm sad you got frustrated, I was following the thread explicitly for the night kill posts!

I think you meant horrible, not funny. There's a reason you're on my personal mafia ban list. Not that I actually run (or even play) mafia anymore, anyway, so it doesn't really even matter, I guess. Yay.

On the actual game, I want to note that no-lynching when there was four players left (and since the game didn't end, only one mafiate left) was actually optimal play since it was MyLo, and forcing the remaining mafiate to off a suspect before the last lynch increases the chance of town victory.

For all those that knew who was scum and knew I was scum. It's a lot harder to tell when you're playing the game. Play the next mafia game and prove how good you are at a selected role. You also have to convince everyone and be prepared for counter-arguments. If you stated why you thought I was scum, do you think I could convince you I wasn't?

And this was my first win! I'm pumped. I've been self-aligned, town, and mafia twice. Mafia is the least fun in my opinion. I like having no knowledge rather than all the knowledge. My preference.

Moogle, your night posts were brilliant. And I loved each one. Especially the Batman vs Jason. And the last lynch was a neat story to end the game. I will praise this forever.

***Fenris*** · 02-06-2012, 11:41 PM

Yeah, I'm really sorry that I cheated. It was wrong of me.

I can make excuses (I was having a bad day, etc.) but I am held to a higher standard due to my position here.

Shame on me.

In a perfect world (one where I am supreme ruler of everything), I would play the next mafia game. Unfortunately, I am awful at regulating my time, and thus can't involve myself in Mafia and RPs and stuff because I will fail my classes if I do.

That said, I totally wouldn't have voted to lynch you. You did a super job of staying low-key. Like, somewhere in the first three days I sorta suspected you a little, but I suspected Oron just as much. Then you shook that off in the confusion after Nikose's stuff happened. You did a super job of keeping suspicion off of your while still remaining active. Clap clap clap for you!

Final note from me: Miller roles suck, period. I can see it possibly being a counterbalance for a second power or something (some sort of role that needs to have shaky credibility to make the claim hard to follow) but by itself it's just . . . fuck.

Dammit Moogle.

Nique · 02-07-2012, 02:06 AM

I am the night.

The Red Hood/ Batman murder suicide pact was pretty awesome, but I was disappointing to have to quit playing so early since I thought I was hiding pretty well.

I have to ask - Hawk, did you target me because I caught your SK role, or did you really think I was part of Batman Inc.?

Geminex · 02-07-2012, 04:41 AM

I actually really liked the posts as well. I have little-to-no batman knowlege, so they were really kinda wasted on me, but I still enjoyed reading them.

Ooh, and moogle gave me all my investigation results in rhyme.
Nikose was
"Riddle me this,
riddle me that.
Who is the student
of the bat?"

Don't remember the other two.

Also, re: game bans, I don't think I'll exclude Nikose when it's time for my game. I'm not so sure about Marius, though. Whatever his reasons, I really feel like he hurt his team's interests when he froze Nikose twice, and that's not cool.

Mind you, he doesn't seem very active, so I don't think he'll even want to join.

Anyway, yeah, good game, and congrats to scum for kicking our asses.
