Mini Mafia III |OT| An Amazing Alien Abduction Adventure

Is Time a Loop and Other Pertinent Questions

iWu1s11.gif


At some point during the flight, doors had decided to wake up and be useful to the abductees on board the Heart of Darkness Mark I. Discovering the utility of one of these passageways, the passengers were delighted to find strange and unsettling corridors, complete with the in-flight environmental aural moaning and incessant whispering of those who had previously departed. A braver one amongst the remaining lot stepped out onto a hallway and fuzzily remarked, "Hey, this bit kind of looks like a train!"

"You're right! It's kind of familiar... ! It can't be...! It is The Official Gafia Trans-Siberian Beach House Cruise Train I!"

"And ... and this other parts, it looks like ...the hobcobbled remains of the one that came after it! This is HUGE!"

"What is? Why are you freaking out?"

"NO! IT CAN'T BE! IT CAN'T!" Timeaisis, the one who was losing his shit, started to claw at his own face. "It's happening over and over! A deja-vu of nightmarish proportions! A curse! That's it! I HAVE BEEN CURSED! NO!"

He started to back away from every one else, an expression of unhinged mirth painted upon his face.

"Time is a loop! I am here again! I SEE! It is the end of Day 2! And I'm... I... I'm...!!" With a startling dexterity, he spun upon his heels and ran headlong into the nearest dark and mysterious corridor. The others followed, curious but mostly angry at various established community parameters, still, they followed faithfully.

"It's the airlock! He's going out!"

"...!!! OMG It's an ISIS Launch Party!" CCS yelped excitedly. "Geddit? Cuz he's TimeaISIS! And he's launching himself out there!"

The rest gave him an awkward look, a few even sustained a dangerously permanent level of cringe at CCS, bar one who was nodding along and grinning happily.

"I had that suffix before the terrorist organization wrangled it, okay!" Timeaisis screamed in response, visibly sad.

Timeaisis pulled at the lever and entered the antechamber, still cackling and mumbling about his previous lives aboard some other adventurous journeys. "It was Day 2, then too, wasn't it? Yes, yes it was. Gee. I was also the same over there, wasn't I? Yes, yes I was. Why is it happening again!? WHAT IS IT WITH DAY 2 ABOARD THIS ACCURSED HOLIDAYS!"

Lights started to blare and the rest of the passengers looked on eagerly at Timeaisis through the glass window, raptly attentive as the outer airlock door began to open.

"Know this, you lot! I could have been the best of them all! I could have done it! Maybe not in Mini 1.1.... and not here! BUT ONE DAY--!! One day you all will regret not witnessing the genius of Timeaisis!!!"

Not a moment after, air was emptied out rapidly and the body of Timeaisis flew away into the void, decaying into a frozen husk in mere fractions of seconds. One of the passengers pulled at the lever and locked the airlock back into secure position, leaving Timeaisis' remains out in the expanse of space, slowly floating away as if he was dreaming a nightmare he could not escape with both of his eyes stark and open for eternity.

Promises Sold and the Taste of Dreams


No one remembered why or when or how they had entered a state of sleep last night after Timeaisis launched himself into space. Waking up was wholly different, though. For their third day on board the luxury abduction adventure sold as 'an erotica of faux-sexual danger involving dinosaurs and aliens', the passengers were roused from rest with the pouring of impressive amount of blood into the corridors and rooms. Everyone was promptly soaked.

LPkgHU8.gif


"That was blood of some dinosaurs we had recently found in some nearby planets!" The Alien Spider announced brightly over the PA system. "So, don't tell me we don't hold up our end of the deal!"

"B-but dinosaur's blood isn't... dinosaurs."

"SEMANTICS!" The Alien Spider shouted its opposition down, acid spitting from its fiberglass teeth, along with an eyeball. "Woops."

"Whose eyeball is that!"

"Oh, relax. I only ate one of you last night. I was hungry, okay. Don't judge." The monster picked the eyeball gingerly off the floor and chewed it happily. "Right, I can taste it. This was ...CCS. He was found trying to locate the bridge to the ship last night, being the industrious and good citizen that he was. I didn't appreciate that. Like, at all. I tailed him from room to room, making sure that I was unseen and unheard, so much so that he was starting to believe that all the horrors were in his mind and that, if he could only steer this vehicle back to Earth, that he could save everyone and that everything would be okay."

"Such naivety. Such dreams." The spider sighed, contented and full. "I had a lovely time crushing them. Also, crushing his bones. Delicious."

"Anyway, I couldn't let him go. We played hide and seek for a while but at the end, a hungry spider must do what a hungry spider needed to do."

CCS has died!

Announcement: In the spirit of fairness, Mini Mafia 3 will be moving back to the GAFIA standard Majority Rule. You may No Lynch and there will be no more traumatic Coin Toss event.

....but you all know I'm in Australia, so if you turbo whilst I'm asleep.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For sake of clarity, the standard Gafia Majority Rule is as per follows:
Once someone has received a strict majority (>50%) of the available votes, the day ends with the Lynch of that player or a No Lynch (whichever applies). Once this has happened, any further votes or unvotes that Phase will not be counted, and the Night Phase will begin shortly.

Day 3 Majority:
5 to achieve Majority
 

CCS

Banned
***DEAD***

Oh for fuck's sake, I spent quite literally an hour typing up a big long analysis post to make up for not being very active yesterday, then that happens. Screw you guys :p

uh... ok?

That means this is lylo I guess. Mass claim?

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
How is Kyan still alive?

What the fuck are you doing scum?

YOU HAD ONE JOB.
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Ah fuck we're in LyLo.

I hope to god you didn't check the mason last night Kyan.
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
So we either have 2 power roles remaining or 0.

Time being sk is a real bummer, means scum wouldn't have cared at all yesterday unless Haly is scum.

Can't see kyan being scum here.

Don't feel like I have a read on squid or gor at all. I also feel like I'm town leaning too many people. Right now that is kyan>haly>karl>>>melon. Need to rethink those.

Crab still my top choice but can't afford to tunnel at this point.
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
The thing is I don't see us having DB, DD or BB because otherwise they would've been whiffing all day.

The CCS kill was, in retrospect, pretty smart. Any D would've protected Kyan last night and maybe they even did, which left CCS open.

I wish Time told us who he killed on day one but I guess there was no reason for him to hand that information to us.

Shortly I'm going to post my D1 end analysis, but I also want to examine more closely the pressure on me as an extension of that post, because it just isn't sitting right with me.
Promised multiple times, it never comes. Instead crab spent the day complaining about being scum read.
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
By the way, 5 to reach majority means with any 2 town votes on a town, mafia can instantly hammer it to win the game so please be conservative with your votes.

scum doesn't kill kyan as they just have a role blocker sit on him on the off chance he wasn't one shit. Sk is the only other person they care about role blocking. Leaves him alive for the was it wasn't it scum gambit line of thought.

I for one say kyan is cleared town. If he's scum and they managed to hit sk with this shit roll of powe roles gg you deserve the win
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
I was trying not to spill the beans on the roleblocking thing but yeah I assume kyan was blocked.

Anything you were planning kyan you can drop it now. The jig is up.

So, unless I'm mistaken, this is either MMMCT?? or MMMCTTT.

If the later, they would know that kyan is a 1 shot, and not felt threatened. But Haly brings up a good point, kyan was an obvious doc choice so I might be reading too much into it.

Yea that's true. Mafia know if we are at 1T or 3t after having SK shown. Good point.

So I honestly think full claiming may be the way to go today.

Only roles up in the air would be BD BB DD, as I'm assuming no repeated vig would have held off every night, although I suppose a one shot vig with B or D could exist. Let me look at the numbers and I'll have a fully educated opinion on whether we claim or not.
 

Haly

Because it gives scum less time to sort out their alibi.
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
And I took it back because I was trying to stay one step ahead of scum but that's clearly futile as scum seems pretty experienced.

Yes this is subtle hinting. Going through D2 right now but it's down to Crab, Squidyj, melon and Gorlak for me.

look at the roles buddy, scum team has a blocker. whether kyan is one-shot or not it doesnt even matter.

We know 3 M and at least 1 C, every scum team with 4 or fewer T has a role blocker.

Right but if it was 1 t we would have one or two more prs. Would make more sense to kill Kyan and block someone else.
 
RIP CarlyCS. Please deliver us another pop hit soon.

So, Time roled SK again.

I'm assuming he took 1-Shot Bulletproof pre-game. Which collaborates Kyan's story because there were still 2 deaths on N2. For Kyan to be scum lying about being a cop scum would have needed to fail to kill Time meaning only one death on N2.

Therefore, I believe Kyan is the cop.

Assuming he took 1-Shot Bulletproof.

That's about where I am.
 

Haly

Oh and I think this is the confirmation:

The last thought I have is on the ouro death. I'm going to assume bats was the scum kill. He stirs up trouble for either side, he has a predictably unpredictable playstyle, and he's a solid n1 kill for mafia. Ouro, on the other hand, is troublesome but only to a few people (myself being one of them). But a good portion of heat was on him yesterday. Mafia might have felt that an ouro lynch was inevitable enough to not waste a night kill on him, unless the situation was dire and they needed ouro eliminated quick.

Time killed Ouro and mafia killed Bats. I don't know how to use this information yet as I'm still sifting through posts but I thought I'd make a note of it.
 

Haly

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Can't post properly as at work but I am one vote from hammer at this point, so can at least one person unvote until I get back?

This also stands out as scum panic. Little did Crab realize that we were working with plurality and not majority lynch but he was really anxious to hold off on "the hammer".

I'm pretty certain we are lynching crab today but I need to do a reread of the thread before committing 100%.

About to head to a show but will give more detailed thoughts before bed tonight
 

Haly

I'm in the middle of going through Day 1 but I have two picks already.

Read through Gor, my impressions is that he engages and pressures people, but I was never really sold that this was town talking.

Day 1 he takes some heat, is very defensive, OMGUS bats, then is pretty lowkey for the rest of the day while people moved on.

These two posts stood out to me:

Half of the phase nearly over. Can we start please.

I'm extremely tired and lack energy right now. I only have a few minutes. The state of the game is depressing me, and unfortunately I can't invest the time I'd like to.

..........

Please be more active everyone.

As the drunk philosopher known as cabot likes to point out, scum tend to be grumpier than town. I get that impression from gor.

In #174 he messed up a list, bats points it out, and karl confirms it's weird.
Over edited posts are a sign of being concerned on how you are appearing which is a decent scum tell. That's a pretty interesting point batsie.

Wish we knew for sure who scum killed n1. If it was bats, would scum!gor take out the person going after him? wifom, my old friend.

Scum leaning here, but not confident enough to vote him today.
