Good evening. Before we begin, here are some notifications about what you might need to expect this game.
- There are mechanics in this game that may cause Night feedback to be incorrect or missing.
- There may be any or all of the following mechanics present: Third Party/Neutral alignments, abilities that hide/alter the flips of the dead, and abilities that punish character or role claiming.
- The term "lylo state" may be used in some ability text. A "lylo state" refers to a gamestate in which the number of Town players alive is equal to the number of Mafia players alive plus one. If the game reaches a lylo state, it will not be publicly announced.
- Unless an ability explicitly states otherwise, it may not self-target.
- There may be roles present in the game with names that do not match what they typically are. These might have been changed for flavor or because I'm simply used to a different name.
- There is no theme split. Alignments were determined independently of character.
- As usual, using AI to write your posts is not allowed.
- To prevent angleshooting via role dm formatting, the following is a sample role dm:
"You are The Writing On The Stall! https://open.spotify.com/album/5UuIO3fQNgl7FUPNJzAily
This musical by Caitlin Cook has an unusual topic: Graffiti on public bathroom stalls. From the silly to the horny to the genuinely profound, the musical focuses on these communications we hear from people we're very likely to never know or speak to for our entire lives. Because of this, you are the **Town Anonymous Messenger**.
Your goal is to eliminate all Mafia-aligned players and any other players who wish to see the Town lose.
You have the following abilities:
On The Wall (Unlimited Use): Target a player during the Night and write a message, with a maximum of 200 characters. The target will receive the message at the end of the Night, but they will not be told who it came from."
Player List:
Casey
WyIted
Mharman
Pie
Greyparrot
Earth
Lunatic
Austin
Whiteflame
WyIted
Mharman
Pie
Greyparrot
Earth
Lunatic
Austin
Whiteflame
The Day phase will last until 6:00 PM Eastern Time on December 2nd, or a little over 72 hours from this post. The Day will end early if a player is eliminated with a majority vote.
And now, it is time to sing your song.

Music. A form of art which is thousands of years old, appealing to the ear rather than the eye. Something that a vast quantity of people are exposed to on a daily basis.
My good friend Coquelicot and I are looking for something fresh and new. And so, to that end, we have this Mafia game.
This is a Semi-Upick game of Mafia. With your signup, you must message me one album of your choice and a way for me to access it. (Ideally Youtube or Spotify.) I won't be too stringent on the definition of album- but use your common sense on what falls under that definition, please. You will receive a role based on your album- it might be related to the history, the meaning, the literal words, or other aspects of the album. No players will be Vanilla.Additionally- and I will reiterate this in the rules of the game thread- there may be mechanics involved which punish character or role claiming. Choose your album and your words carefully.
I will accept anywhere from 9 up to 15 players. This sign-up period will last for a while, because I intend to listen fully to all submitted albums before distributing roles.

You could join the MafiaUniverse Discord and post a link in the "offsite-games" channel, I suppose. I'm uncertain if that would actually net you any players, though.

Funny, my father went to Mizzou. I even have a couple of shirts from there.
But Mharman means MafiaUniverse, which would be a no. Whenever I suggest this site to people, they take a look, see Pie's pfp, and decide not to join. I'm skipping out on this one because I already committed to a couple of games of experimental varieties, which I expect to be taking up my focus.

You're fine. At least you eventually came around, hm?
Although I wasn't Town, either. So you were sort of right in the first place, just for the wrong reasons.

It does kind of make sense in terms of the nightkill. Pie and Barney were Mafia. I was scumread. Lunatic could have been protected. Casey was a weak "PR." Skipper was an easy mislynch to swing. So it really seems like it would have come down to WyIted or WF.

For fun, here are the fake claims I had waiting in the wings:
(Day 1, before I figured out the theme split)
You are Lady Bow! You are the mistress of Boo's Mansion with a group of loyal Boos behind you. After using a Star Spirit as leverage to get Mario's assistance with a pressing issue, you join him to help rescue Princess Peach. Because one of your main abilities is to make both Mario and yourself transparent, you are the 2x Commuter. Two times during the game, you have the option to hide and will become unable to be targeted by any night actions for that night. You win with the Town.
(Day 2, though I decided to claim mostly truthfully instead)
You are Lava Piranha! Lava Piranha is a multi-headed beast that rules Lavalava Island and guards a Star Sprite from Mario. After its initial defeat, the Lava Piranha comes back for a second round. Because of this, you are the 1x Bulletproof. The first time you are attacked, you will survive. You win with the Town.

Wow, there really were three role-failing abilities in play.
Ah, well. I've learned never to hard claim 3p again unless it's a strategic tactic. ;)

Jailkeeper doesn't seem like an ability that would be given notice of failure.

Ah, is that hammer? It was meant to be an appeal specifically to Pie's ego. Too bad.

Also, no disrespect, but this game is low effort compared to my other ones. I don't mind it taking a while to finish.
If I really wanted to end it fast, I would have concocted an excuse to vote Casey and give Mafia an opportunity to coordinate a quick hammer.

This has to be a policy lynch because the math isn’t on our side.
Fair enough. I'm not sure why I expected you to avoid the cowardly move.
I do think it's interesting that WyIted keeps insisting there must be a Redirector, not a Roleblocker. My initial impression was that he fumbled TMI and had to frantically go "actually, here's why a Roleblocker doesn't make sense," but he's still doubling down.

@Lunatic
Yeah but he fake claimed lol
Sigh.
You didn't answer my question, by the way - why do you think you're alive? I'd like an answer by the time I come back from work, thanks.

I'm willing to detour over to Pie for a while. He was very hesitant to claim in Mayday when we were wolfing together, but if I recall right, he did claim fairly quickly in the Bo Burnham game, yes?

If I had to pick a partner for Barney that's not WyIted... probably Pie. I haven't seen anything that would really convince me off of him this game. Everyone else has at least something in their favor, in my eyes. But I don't feel I have a solid reason to be townreading Pie.
...Has he even claimed? Have I forgotten?

@Lunatic
It's a joint win.
I'm not even entirely sold on Barney being Mafia, but I do think it's odd that he picked Magic on Casey the consensus Town instead of Shell, which very likely would have been protective.

@Skipper_Sr
@WyIted
It was claimed here.
I've just realized, Skipped claimed Jailkeeper without claiming a target? I have an idea of who the best jail target would be, but I want to hear it from the source.

Casey's ability deactivates in LYLO, so the only way a quick hammer would happen there is if I suddenly changed my mind and decided to side with the Mafia.

@Lunatic
Why do you think you're alive right now? Why did the Mafia go for an unclaimed POE player instead of you, who claimed a strong investigative or protective role? This is a genuine question, not rhetorical.

Yes indeed. About to kill me on policy? Because you might as well at least discuss the implications of me telling the truth first.

I do have lingering doubts on Barney, since my character makes it ambiguous if the theme split is "Bosses aligned with Bowser / Bosses who aren't" or "Characters aligned against Mario / Characters aligned with Mario."
If any of you are paying attention to the wiki, Jr. Troopa is very specifically not aligned with Bowser.

I am The Master, and I am a Commuter Survivor. Which is to say that I am not Town-aligned, I win with either Town or Mafia.
The justification for being a Commuter is that I am optional, but very difficult to fight. (Frankly, I think PGO would have been a better role.)
I was considering fake claiming Lava Piranha, 1x Bulletproof, but considering that my true role all but directly contradicts WyIted, I might as well be honest.
If this gets me policy eliminated, c'est la vie. I didn't feel like wolfing for a third game in a row.

@Skipper_Sr
I would like to hear more from you, Skipper- if you have time to backread, there's a lot of discussion that you might find some value in. Even a stream of consciousness ramble about your thoughts of what's going on would be helpful for us. If you're Town, the best way to help us find you as Town is to give us something to work with.
I'm going to sleep imminently, but I'll certainly be back before the end of the day.

@WyIted
I honestly won't lynch outside of Casey, mharman, WF and cerulean though so am unlikely to participate in a lynch that is not in that range
You townread Pie, Lunatic, Skipper, and Barney enough that you'd rather No Lynch than have them voted out?

@Mharman
My concern right now is that we have 12 and a bit pages of content and the one person you're pushing right now is the newbie lowposter.
I'm not going to get on a high horse and say I've never hard pressured a newbie before to get them to crack in a Town!me game, but it's an easy "default" place for a wolf to push because new players struggle with self-defense. (See- Mayday)

@WyIted
Between the two, Lunatic definitely looks better. Level of emotion that seems hard to fake, with the CC and... 353, I guess. Hence why my vote is on WF.I don't see lunatic as scum. I don't doubt he has a good scum game, but not that good. He's earned my respect if he can fake the behavior he has shown this DP

Mharman, gun to your head, who do you think is the exact scum team right now and why? You're waffling a bit.

@WyIted
This is a valid take, I suppose. I was thinking about where to go and didn't have a whole lot of time to go back and recheck Lunatic and WF.Scum are more likely to be inflexible with reads and cerulean doesn't like changing his vote or reads.

@ILikePie5
Whiteflame’s vote on Mharman right after Luna’s is very interesting
This is a good shout. I've been rolling around an idea in my mind of at least one, possibly both scum, between WF and Lunatic. They both sort of jumped onto Mharman for the push on me.
VTL WF
I'm going to double-check, but it feels like WF has been... less, this game? Maybe it's IRL business causing issues, but it seems like he's been more of a background voice so far.
I wasn't much paying attention to the last game, so if anyone wants to chip in on whether he's resembling that, let me know.

@Mharman
Which would require an implication of Casey, given that she’s the only other player who has full claimed up to this point.
This isn't quite correct. Remember, WyIted claimed General Guy. Even if it's not a full claim, it could still be the fake claim and implicated under this logic, yes?
Created:

@Mharman
it’s also the reason why I said there was interesting townie point Cerulean had in his favor- he spotted it and told me to be careful about slipping role information… I’m assuming he saw where I said “I can think of one reason town would try really hard to avoid a mislynch, dunno if it applies to Skipper” (223)
This isn't what I was calling out. It was this:
Time to pressure for a claim, perhaps a mislynch. (88)
Because it implied to me that you thought you had a bad role/character that would get mislynched. I had a problem with it because, if you're Town, it's a big flag to Mafia saying "I can be pushed, don't nightkill me!"

@Mharman
I see two people who had a chance to push me hard while I was on a really stupid push, and was getting sussed by some people for it. I still am, and both have shown restraint to push me, despite how easy of a mislynch I could be. (212)
Forget it. I’m done defending from myself from Lunatic’s very shaky psycholoanalysis and damned if I do, damned if I don’t reasoning about whether or not I’d acknowledge an OMGUS.Whiteflame is on me and not budging as well for… reasons I guess, and Casey wanted my claim despite townreading me. (223)
Is there a reason why you're saying that WyIted and I are Town for not pushing you, but you're not- or weren't- saying the opposite about Lunatic and WF for pushing you? The thought of "Someone is using Mharman's OMGUS-looking push to swing a mislynch on him" has crossed my mind a couple of times, I'd be surprised if it hadn't crossed yours.
I was considering voting Lunatic, but need to go back and reread to see if that actually makes sense when I'm not in the moment, so to speak.

Conspiracy theory time: do you read this interaction between them as a potential bus or are you really sold on mharmans case
If you really need to know, I reacted like that because it's the first time any of you have bothered with trying to push me on Day 1.

@whiteflame
Who's the scummiest person/bottom 2 to you right now, WF? You seem to have everyone as null or a town lean. I know you say you don't have any solid scumreads- but there must be someone at the bottom of your hierarchy of reads.
VTL Cerulean for full claim
Both my character and my role give scum a lot of information if I claim, I think, so I'd rather avoid doing that today. If a majority want it, though, I'll at least claim my character.

If I could travel back in time to last night, I suppose I could tell you exactly why.

@WyIted
I don't think it's that confusing. She seemed to disagree with Mharman on most points, but me not explaining why I was keeping my vote on Mharman was problematic- so she pressure voted me.I still don't know what to think of her. Why say those lines and vote you? Is it hedging her bets?
