MAFIA WIN
Town in this game was disastrous. Three No Lynches in a row should never happen especially if it’s not MYLO. I don’t understand how there was not a lynch between Oro or Supa cause it was obvious one of them was scum. Role Cops should immediately be suspicious especially if there’s a Cop counterclaiming.
The second issue was the fact that if y’all didn’t even consider that if you lynched Grey, there wouldn’t be a town protective role in this game especially with a Judge and a Mafia NK present. Grey didn’t defend himself either which just hurt town, but the entire situation could be avoided if we lynched people earlier.
A third thing was that no one asked for justifications and there wasn’t any analysis into them either. Speed’s justification was so bad that I’m disappointed the political junkies in the game didn’t call it out right away. What Senator implement[s] the systems that track down domestic terrorists. That’s the job of the Department of Homeland Security, not a Senator. Committees are in charge of oversight, not implementing systems.
Overall Town was extremely lazy and so inactive that they deserved to lose this game. Even after the 3 No Lynches, they had an opportunity to win but it failed to materialize.
The theme was the two youngest senators vs everyone else. I was sad that there wasn’t more thematic analysis in the game cause that surely would’ve let to criticism of justifications and Grey’s role being justified.
In terms of balance, I thought this was pretty well balanced. In hindsight though I’d tweak the Gladiator role a bit to reset the time clock by a period of time like 36 hours or something.
MAFIA:
Speed - You are Jon Ossoff from The Peach State, also known as Georgia. As the Senior Senator from Georgia, you were elected during a runoff against the incumbent David Perdue. Prior to politics, you worked on a documentary production about corruption in foreign countries along with the staging of a play in Sierra Leone. Your political career started when you ran against Karen Handel in the Georgia 6th Congressional District Special Election losing by about three points; however, in your Senate victory, you carried the same district to victory. Throughout your career, you have experienced everything and worked in different areas from politics to film and now sit on a range of committees in different areas of the economy. You are the MAFIA SUPER-JOAT. Your abilities are as follows: 1x Strongarm, 1x Framer, 1x Lawyer, 1x Roleblocker, 1x Janitor, 1x Scout, 1x Lookout. You win with the Mafia.
Supa - You are Josh Hawley from The Show Me State, also known as Missouri. As the junior senator, you easily defeated corrupt Claire McCaskill 5.8%. Now with the retirement of Roy Blunt, you will become the senior senator from Missouri after the 2022 Senate Election. Prior to being the Senator, you were elected as the Attorney General of Missouri in 2016 by a landslide margin against Teresa Hensley, while Roy Blunt only won by like 3% against probably my favorite Democrat, Jason Kander. Throughout your tenure as the Attorney General, you were the leader of numerous investigations to determine the roles of different actors such as Big Tech, Former Governor Eric Greitens, and Opiod Manufactures in possible crimes against the people. You are the MAFIA STALKER. Each night you may visit another player. You will learn the role of that player. You win with the Mafia.
Fake Role: 1x Tracker
TOWN:
Oromagi - You are Richard Durbin from The Prairie State, also known as Illinois. You are the senior senator, first elected in 1996 and currently the Senate Majority Whip for the Democratic Party in the United States Senate. During your tenure in the Senate, you have never won by less than 10% against your Republican opponents even during wave years such as 2024, because of the help of Cook County, aka Chicago. Even though your state is known for corruption with something like 3 of the last 4 Governors being jailed for corruption, you’re the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Your primary job is to vet AG nominees and judicial nominees selected by the President to ensure they haven’t committed any shenanigans.You are the ODD-NIGHT COP. Each odd night you may investigate a player and will learn whether they are innocent or guilty. You win with the Town.
Lunatic - You are Cory Booker from The Garden State, also known as New Jersey. You are the junior senator, even though you should be the senior one cause Menéndez should’ve lost. In 2020, you ran for President, but were utterly defeated in the primaries, but luckily you were up for reelection and won against Rik Mehta by 16% in a landslide. You’re pretty much the male version of Kamala Harris, not just cause you’re black and young, but policy wise y’all have a lot in common too. Maybe it’s cause you had your Spartacus moment during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing that you didn’t get the nomination for President, who knows? You are the 1X GLADIATOR. Once per game you can publicly announce that you are challenging a certain player, which will cause only you and that player to be votable on that day. When this ability is used, all votes are reset barring a lynch threshold already being reached. You may not use this ability at LYLO. You win with the Town.
Whiteflame - You are John Cornyn from The Lone Star State, also known as Texas. As the senior senator, you were first elected in 2002 against Ron Kirk by 12%. In 2020, you won a comfortable victory against MJ Hegar, who didn’t even stand a shot even though the media preached about a Blue Texas. Funny enough your seat belonged to the Senate Majority Leader, Vice President, and President Lyndon B. Johnson, which was the last time the seat went Democratic. Prior to your senate career, you were the Attorney General of Texas, and even before that, you were a Justice on the Texas State Supreme Court. In fact you were even considered for a Supreme Court nomination, which luckily didn’t happen because you’d probably be John Roberts 2.0. You are the 1X JUDGE. One night you may choose to kill someone who was on the lynch bandwagon during the most recent day phase. You win with the Town.
Earth - You are Ben Cardin from The Old Line State, also known as Maryland. As the senior senator, you were first elected in 2006 against Michael Steele, by 10%, the smallest margin you’ve ever won by. The most interesting fact about you is that you became the youngest Speaker of the House of Delegates of Maryland during the early part of your career. As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, you played a key role in the three COVID Stimulus Packages to help small businesses during the coronavirus pandemic even though Democrats are practically against small businesses. You are the BUSINESSMAN. Each night you may give another player a target. If the person successfully lynches their target the next day, they will be rewarded with a prize that you select from (1x Tracker, 1x Cop, 1x Watcher). You win with the Town. [Action Fails if either target dies]
Greyparrot - You are Susan Collins from The Pine Tree State, also known as Maine. As the senior senator, you are quite literally one of the most impressive politicians I’ve ever seen, even though I think you’re a RINO. Literally everyone thought you’d lose to Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon (well, except me), but you pulled off the victory by 9% avoiding ranked choice. Not a single poll showed you ahead of Gideon, but you destroyed her. It was mainly due to your bipartisanship, which I have to commend you for, but you’re still a RINO. I hate indecisive people, so pick a freakin side. You’re always the key vote, maybe you’re just an attention seeker. You are the 2x MEDIATOR. Each night you may target another player and choose to either protect or roleblock that person, provided that you did not have a standing vote against anyone at the end of the preceding day phase. You win with the Town.
MisterChris - You are Rand Paul from The Bluegrass State, also known as Kentucky. As the junior senator, you are the shine of the GOP, while your colleague Cocaine Mitch represents the rot in the GOP. You’re pretty libertarian, but always support your principles regardless of which party supports it, which I deeply admire. You were first elected during the 2010 amidst the Tea Party wave and still hold to their tenet of fiscal conservatism. If Donald Trump weren’t on the stage, I’d have supported you 100%, just based on a stance that you get from your father Ron Paul, who also ran for President previously. That stance is ending endless wars worldwide, but especially in the Middle East. The CIA and NSA would face a big foe in you. You are the PACIFIST. You cannot cast votes for players who are one vote away from being lynched. You win with the Town.
WaterPhoenix - You are Patrick Leahy from The Green Mountain State, also known as Vermont. As the senior senator, you are also the longest serving member of the United States Senate. As a result you are currently the President Pro Tempore and were the President Pro Tempore Emeritus while the GOP held the Senate. Just for context, you were elected in 1974 and were in office when Watergate happened. Even now, you’re considering a 9th term in 2022, which is literally crazy. As the President Pro Tempore, you can be the Presiding Officer while the Vice President is not there giving you the power to rule on point of orders. Essentially your vote cannot be overridden because the minority party doesn’t have to votes to overturn the ruling. You are the 1x DOUBLEVOTER. One time during the day, you may tell me that you wish to use your role, allowing you to place two votes however you would like to. You win with the Town.
