WOTMAFIA - Murder in Maredo - RACQUEL WINS!!

[Rig]

Deleted my awesome mails.

I was actually compelled on night 2 I believe it was and killed Bubba which gave me the new night ability to kill whomever. I also had the ability to protect someone instead during the night. I had not expected Arkan to get found out so quickly, which really caught me off guard because he was the only source of information regarding the other darkfriends. I didn't even know who the other df were until now.

After Arkan died, Weir sent me a mail letting me know he was the one who compelled me and I also got one from Carlia that he is the new Darkfriend Highest. He informed me that Brocas and Xoco were a Warder pair so I decided to pretend to be dumb good guy and gather information which led to me being pretty aggressive and killing Xoco. Then I was lynched forever and killed Joolis as he Tried to hang me!

[xoco]

"You and Brocas are relaxing in bed after a tiring day of shouting and cursing about darkfriends. Suddenly a man appears in your window and before either of you can move he raises a fist and Brocas falls into a deep sleep.

The man turns and flees as you check to ensure Brocas is still breathing.

The Bond is fine and Brocas is well.

It is late into the night before you decide to relax and sit in the chair next to Brocas.

Your eyes begin to droop when suddenly something is on top of you."

Must've been a random chance MC thing. Did you PM any action that night? You slept Brocas, then later tried to sleep me but it failed. Though it worked enough to let Rig sneak up on me, apparently. (Presuming a Warder wouldn't let himself drift off when his Sedai was under the influence.) We'll have to wait for Carlia to post all her things!


The bits where people thought I was a girl was hilarious. Rig apparently thought that I was the Sedai. Also, surely the best pair of posts ever made in any mafia:

At the deep end of dusk, Xoco sits on the bed, sipping at a glass of mulled wine. Brocas draws closed the curtains with a flourish and turns smoothly towards a small case on the chamber table. Inside is a small, silver, flute-like instrument. Brocas extracts it from the leather and holds it deftly aloft between forefinger and thumb.

"Oh, my! What a handsome flute!" Xoco exclaims.

"Ah! Not quite. This is a piccolo," Brocas explains with a wink, and attaches the mouthpiece.

Brocas blows across the mouthpiece in quick short bursts causing off-pitch notes to ring through the air. Xoco looks unimpressed, and thinks Brocas surely can't play the instrument properly.

Soon after limbering up the keys and warming the ivory pipe of the piccolo, Brocas starts playing some of the most entertaining and magical music anyone has ever heard. Some would say it rivals even the most talented of Gleeman!

Delighted, Xoco dances and claps in rhythm to the songs. This continues long into the night until it becomes too late and they must quiet down to not disturb any of the other patrons in the inn.

[Racquel]

Yeah, that night I actually forgot to send an action I think.

[Aira]

It was pretty remarkable how you played on their fears about Seanchan, despite the fact that Astolfo and Aira had acted pro-town since the very beginning, whereas you had participated in killing town's leader (Xoco) and were on record as a liar. Misplayed by Aira for sure, but still an impossible turn around to secure that lynch. Too bad Firimei started a lynch on Brocas for some reason (please explain that decision Firimei!), that must've planted the seeds of doubt in Aldwyn and contributed to why he was so willing to go along with an outed mc.

I had really been too busy to play properly and had only been in communications with Astolfo this round of mafia. I bet that is the largest contributing factor to what got me killed, being an unknown factor.

[Carlia]

I will be posting night actions and results at some point

[Astolfo]

Was a really enjoyable game.
After I converted Paj the first night and learned Arkan was the highest DF, I tried to get a lynch going. When that failed really bad, I was like screw it, got to take one out before they take me out. So I put on the blood assassin ring and went to work over my last 3 nights of life. Should have maybe converted my last night instead of cutting Pial's throat, but I thought he was a DF MC, so I went for it.
Oh well, next round will be fun!

[Callesa]

Thanks for organizing the game, Carlia!

It was fun, even though fun is always limited for the vanilla townies. I was really surprised to stay alive for so long. Yeah, The dagger was the thing deciding between lynching Racquel and Firimei.

[Brocas]

I unfortunately deleted all my PMs related to this WOTMAFIA already but I wanted to take a few minutes to explain my logic for the decision to lynch Aira on Day 6 since that surprised several people.

First off, let me start out by saying I didn't even know this was a 3 faction war at first. It wasn't until Night 3, which I investigated Aira that I learned there were SS playing and it wasn't just LS vs DS. If I remember correctly, Night 5 I investigated Racquel. The first thing that threw me off is that Racquel didn't come back as a LS, DS or SS. My investigation didn't even reveal her sex, but based off the description provided from Carlia it was quite obvious she was an MC.. just unsure of any allegiance.

So my day 6 decision. It was Me, Aldwyn, Racquel, Aira, Firimei, and Callesa. I knew we had to deal with racquel, BUT I also knew Aira was SS. I didn't know anything about Firimei or Callesa... I suspected Firimei to be SS. I also thought that since there was so much focus on LS killing DS that SS was just sitting back letting us duke it out and then after our numbers dwindled they would sweep in and clean up. If we lynched Racquel, and Aira, who claimed to have gain the ability to kill someone, killed Callesa, myself or Aldwyn at night...then I felt SS would have a numbers advantage. Knowing that Racquel and Aira both needed to die, I wanted to use a lynch vote on Aira to figure out Firimei and Callesa allegiance. I was very surprised when they both voted to Lynch as then it could be assumed neither were SS. The idea then was to use the next day's lynch vote to kill Racquel and after lynching Aira I would check out Callesa or Firimei that night.

I think my failure was not laying this out well enough. Racquel did an excellent job convincing people she was ok to be trusted and it was brilliant to kill me with a weapon instead of a weave. One thing I learned is that you can RP your night actions to the moderator. By writing the method in which she killed me, it threw everyone else off her path.

Anyway, it was lots of fun. My first time playing and it was a blast.

[Arkan]

I was mostly confused why virtually no one was being killed by DFs. As I had no night moves, I didn't really know what was going on. One thing I could have done was use the DFs I controlled directly, but I thought it was more fun (and implied by what Carlia told me) to let them work their own ways and since none of my DFs did any killing, I don't know if that would have done anything anyways. But I really did nothing and just got killed when an investigation would have revealed I did nothing My attempt with my posts was to carefully say one thing, but leave open the possibility that my actions were something else (not that I had any actions).

A wicked woman you are, impersonating a wisdom in this town. Pretending to aid those who are sick only to extend their suffering and watch them wither away. Long ago you sold your soul to the dark one for the promise of eternal life. You are skilled in crafting poisons and potions of all sorts. You are just as skilled in deception, having been impersonating a wisdom since you killed the last one in this village.

At night you may POISON anyone you wish, the herbs in this area aren’t fatal but they will prevent your target from doing anything else in the night.

To be clear, you may POSION anyone and they will be unable to perform a night action. If investigated you will show up as a wisdom and a servant of the Light.

You report directly to ARKAN, the Darkfriend Highest.

You win when the Great Lords Horde controls the Maredo Plains.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Night One (20)– Poisoned Rig – random pick (this could have been a trend-setter for Astolfo, but Rig was lynched on day 4 anyway after Weir came out on Day 3)
Night Two (23)– Poisoned Joolis – random pick (also he was investigating me)
Night Three (29)– Poisoned Pial – random pick
Night Four (4)– Poisoned Pial – Per direction
Night Five (7)- Poisoned Pial – Per direction (Then I was burned alive by Racquel)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do what it is you do, since you do it well, but keep me apprised of your actions. The people trust you. The Great Lord shall triumph!

Arkan set me to do my own thing. Huzzah.

I never did like rig. Always thought he was better than himself. Better than his betters. The weak are weeded. That said, at this point, I will have to know before you kill anyone. Before we give ourselves too much of a disadvantage.

As dusk starts to settle you figure it is time to find your target. Gathering up your darkest shawl you begin to prowl around in the shadows. Remembering the last you heard from Rig this afternoon, he is likely fighting his mother going to sleep.

With the speed of a crotchety old lady you maneuver silently to Rig’s house. He is, as you expected, sulking outside on the porch. With a Child so easily fooled you decided to cover your face and walk right to the silent child.

Without leaving the shadows surrounding the porch you purr ‘Rig… I have a treat for you’ as you hold out a soft biscuit.

Rig, startled by your sudden appearance, takes a moment before slowly moving toward the extended hand.

As he grows nearer he gets more confident, until he gets close enough to snatch the biscuit directly from your hand and shovels the entire thing into his mouth. He no sooner swallows and drops like a stone, fast asleep.

Without pause you turn with the intent to head back to your small cottage when suddenly a large shadowy figure appears from nowhere wielding two large knives.

This figure begins to speak quietly….

You listen completely intrigued by the strange man speaking of an Empress, may she live forever and some kind of return. He speaks of the struggle and a coming war.

When the man finishes speaking you feel all ties to the Dark One severed. Your life belongs to woman thousands of miles away, a woman who you have never met. You are now a servant of the Seanchan Empire.

When he finished speaking the man turns away, ‘ We will talk again soon.’

With that, he vanishes.

You return home with no further actions taking place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You successfully poisoned Rig.

You have been converted to the seanchan. You now win when the Dark has been defeated and the Light has been converted or killed. Your night actions have not changed.

Last night we spoke of the glories of the Empress, may she live forever, of whom you now serve but did not look upon each other.

I reveal myself as a servant of the Empire here in this distant land, and ask you for more information about yourself:

What role do you play in this town and what abilities do you have that might be of use to the Empress, may she live forever in glory?

Also what do you know of other individuals in the town and they alignments and abilities that might be of use to the Empire? Did you interact with anyone else last night?

I will speak with you each day by a similar message and direct you on how you are to vote if the townsfolk try to lynch each other.

Send me a reply with my requested information as swiftly as you are able. Share this information with no one and destroy this letter immediately after replying. You are to tell no one of who I am or of your service and faith in the Empress, may she live forever, even if it means your death.

Together, we can win by turning this town to the service of the Empire, and then the Ever Victorious army will secure the Maredo Plains in the name of the Empress, May she live forever.

Oh great savior. I am just the new wisdom in town, come past season to replace the old. My skills are obviously in healing and tending to my flock, but moreover putting to a deep night's sleep those that trouble my flock. I will give a naughty boy a morsel that makes them unable to further act that night.

I had only my last master to serve, master Arkan. I am fearful of him and his great lord who had offered me eternal life. But you and your Empress offer more now, when I am sure I will live and reap my rewards!

This last night I found Rig to be a bit overwhelming, and I gave him a morsel to put him to sleep, that is when I was approached by your speaker.

I do not know of anyone else. And I would be afraid to vote to lynch anyone, as my purpose is to protect my flock from each other and themselves.

As night settled in, Pajana made a new route back to her shack, and wasnt surprised as she was bumped into by someone, and her satchel a bit lighter after. He had taken exactly what she left for him.

Joolis would enjoy his treat.

After the figure brushes by and your pack feels considerably lighter you head back to your shack.

Just as you reach the shack you hear a loud 'THUD' of something falling.

Cautiously making your way to the window you peer outside.

The little thief apparently followed you home before the poison took hold.

You have successfully poisoned Joolis.

I am to report to him I will target Pial tonight. He hast come to me again, speaking from the shadows in an alleyway while I was passing, that I should vote no lynch, and he may be displeased as he says one heard he was a darkfriend.

So I am to ruse at my intent, and still hold my action.

At the end of the day, even one as isolated and cranky as PIAL was thirsty for an ale to end the night. His was left in a mug at the foot of his door with a quiet knock and the shuffle of footsteps away. It had an extra stout taste to it.

After you have walked a safe distance you rush behind a hedge and watch for signs of movement.

The door opens and Pial looks at the mug; with an exaggerated shrug he grabs the mug and downs it in one chug.

Before he can move he falls down in the doorway, knocked out cold.

Oh the joys of watching that one squirm. Pajana mixed a specially brutal mix this night, careful not to touch the mix once the ingredients went in the mortar. The leaves of one plant were harmless in itself, but once mixed with grub tail and roots of a certain flower they slightly sizzled. The pestle crushed the mix into a fine powder. The pestle and mortar would have to be disposed of as well.

Pajana poured the powder into a hollow rod and capped the ends. She left her shack, grumbling about darkfriends and lightfriends taking her flock. They were hers!

She found the window where he would be tonight, removed the caps of the rod, and blew hard the dust spreading it into the room.

PIAL would be particularly incapable tonight on once he touched a single surface, and in quite a bit of pain.

PAJ -
As you walk away from Pial’s house a howl of pain followed by a loud crash lets you know that you have succeeded.

You walk home quietly and head straight to bed.

You are awoken in the middle of the night by a loud cackling.

Bolting upright you see a tall lean shadow in the door; his hands enwreathed in flames.

Before you can move fire races toward you and catches the bed afire.

In short time the fire catches on your clothes and you feel it burning your skin.

You try to wriggle free but something is holding you down.

The last thing you can hear is the crackling of your own skin as the world goes black.

You have been killed on Night 5.

You may not communicate with anyone still alive and may not post on the game thread until a winner has been declared.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

All in all, I'm disappointed that the village let the self-admitted male channeler and killer survive even Aira. The dagger in the head I thought was very out of place and obviously played out. This is a mad male channeler, how does he have that precision after burning down a building, burning a person, freezing a person, then throws a dagger, then slices mayor in half with a gate? But it is what it is and the story played out.

And I didn't intend Pial to be such a target (I'm not against him, we just have different opinions, but i'll still play with him) the first time was just playing the game, but then it was orders.
