[Small Mafia] The Tomb

[Mat93]

Everyone had been hoping to leave before this night. But now, it was another night here, and another kill. Unfortunate for him, but everyone else breathed a sigh of relief when they realised they were still here.

After everyone gathered, or rather, after the last 3 gathered, they took some time to look at each other. 1 of them had killed, multiple times. And if they didn’t figure out who today, then 2 people would die today. And only 1 would leave.

Spoiler :

Verarde was dead.

Spoiler :

He was an innocent archaeologist.

Spoiler :

He had the ability to keep influencing from beyond the grave.

Spoiler :

GM Note: He is dead, so cannot post, PM, or be PMed.

Day ends in 47.5 hours.

Players Alive:
Buddhafish
choxorn
BigTin

Vote: Buddhafish

As much as I didn't at first think that the kind of ability you had was a mafia one, I can see no other explanation. BigTin has no reason to tie the vote at the end like that if he's scum, unless I'm also scum, and if we were both scum, we would have won by now. It's far safer for him to just keep his vote on me in case anything weird happens. And I still think he's just a confused townie.

Hence, if I'm not mafia, and BigTin isn't mafia, it must be Buddhafish.

Another thing: Buddhafish said his phoenix ability needed him to die the day after Kennigit's lynch. Perhaps there's some connection between the two? Or perhaps he just saw he was likely to be lynched and always had that ability? Kind of an overpowered lynch surviving ability for a mafia to have, but we don't really know how exactly it worked, and this game has hardly been lacking in overpowered abilities.

On the other hand, it's also entirely possible Buddhafish is neutral or some really weird thing like that, but whatever he is, he needs to start explaining things. Now.

Vote: Choxorn Sorry Jarrema, I decided falsely yesterday, as I had it down to you or choxorn. But since I know Buddhafish is not scum, Turquoiside told me that, it must be you choxorn.

 

[choxorn]

What makes you so sure Turquoiside is right?

 

[BigTin]

I just know he is right. Sorry choxorn but your reign of terror is over. While Buddha was dead, supposedly, no other mafia died, and I haven't been doing the killing, so it must be you. So die scum die!

 

[choxorn]

BigTin, it can't possibly be that obvious. Buddhafish is not guaranteed to be innocent, and he didn't fully "die" either. If Buddhafish has an ability that lets him suddenly become reborn in a situation like this where the game was already won for the mafia, that would be an even more overpowered townie ability than the one DaveShack has. I'm not saying that's necessarily the way his ability works, but just think about what we've seen from him. Buddhafish is not a normal person, and you can't even assume that it's impossible he could kill while "dead."

 

[Buddhafish]

Ok chox, here's my ability:

I am the Phoenix. If I die, I will be revived two phases after my death. I was lynched two days ago, and as such, I was reborn last evening at the update. Also after I was reborn I would gain a new ability, which was subsequently stolen from me by a thief.

I chose to be lynched that day because I did the math and realized that I would be revived for one of, if not the, last day.

But while dead, I was dead. I couldn't post, PM, or do anything else that dead people can do.


What I am surprised at is why I didn't die. I would've thought that the government would've killed me, seeing as I was pretty sure that I was confirmed innocent.

That being said, you immediately went for my lynch choxorn. Was that your master plan?


But seeing as one of you two is scum, I want to start hearing some roleclaims from both of you before I vote.

 

[BigTin]

Ok I am a townie, with the ability to switch any one's vote to anyone else's. I have used it twice. Once on Kennigit, when I should have been lynched, the other last day to make Jarrema vote for himself. Believe me or don't, but with my ability I win anyways, unless one of you has a roleblock since I get 2 votes thanks to my ability

 

[Buddhafish]

Choxorn, what is your ability?

 

[BigTin]

Correction: By me winning I mean I am the deciding factor on today's lynch.

 

[choxorn]

Well, interesting that you'd claim that. See, I have an ability-scanning ability, and while it didn't tell me anything about your revival ability (as you'd already used it and come back as the phoenix, or something), and it doesn't seem to say anything about mafia kill abilities (a while ago I scanned Kennigit, and got the result that he was a double voter), but it did tell me that you're a thief. Nice cover story, though.

It also told me that BigTin is wrong about him being the winner automatically, as Verarde has the ability to vote while dead, via PMing Mat. Verarde can't talk to confirm that, but that is his ability and he can still vote.

Now tell me, BigTin and Verarde- if I knew that, and I was mafia, then why the hell would I kill Verarde? If I'm mafia, that's basically suicide- If almost every remaining player thinks I'm mafia, then why would I kill someone who I know can vote for me despite being dead? Admittedly, I didn't know about BigTin's ability until now, but even so, killing a player who I know has an ability like that would be ********.

 

[BigTin]

But we can't clear that with Verarde, so how are we supposed to verify your claim?
My claim has proof, so I have verification. And you are likely just WIFOMing since you are an experienced player, so who do you propose we kill anyways choxorn?

 

[choxorn]

True, you can't know whether or not I'm lying.

But you can assume from the update that Verarde can still do something while dead, right? You just have to trust me on this one.

 

[BigTin]

With the update (I missed the part about Verarde's ability) It is now possible for you to have fabricated your entire claim. I do know Turquoiside was an ability-scanner since he PM'd me about my ability, so therefore I don't believe your claim so I do indeed think you are scum. You didn't know about verardes ability until he died and you made up the whole coverup. I know that seems very unlikely as it is a lot of work, but it is still possible, and what I believe has happened. If I am wrong I am sorry all townies, but my gut tells me it is you choxorn.

 

[Buddhafish]

So your basically calling my story false choxorn?

Yes, I am now a thief. But my original secondary was not that of thief. My secondary was stolen from me, and it is not what both of you are claiming.

What I don't understand why you're continuing to vote for me.

 

[choxorn]

Because really weird things are going on, and I logically conclude that the only answer is that you must die.

 

[Mat93]

Orders and Votes locked.

 

[Mat93]

The final day. It started with 18, and now15 are dead. Permanmently. Its been a long 8 days. The nights even longer. But it comes down to this. If you get it wrong, you both die. If you get it right, you both leave.

“I was dead for some of the kills, it can’t be me.”

“He has to be the one behind it, as I know both of us aren’t scum.”

“I’m sorry for my mistake yesterday. It’s time to correct it.”

Spoiler Tally :

Buddhafish – 1 – (choxorn)
choxorn – 2 – (Buddhafish, BigTin)

BigTin stepped forwards. choxorn, your reign of terror is over. After firing 2 rounds into choxorn’s chest, he stepped back.

“Is it over?”

choxorn was an undercover Government Official.

Archaeologist (Town) Victory.​

Congratulations to the town.


Role PMs, night actions, commentary, QTs, tallys after abilities, etc, coming soon.

 

[Verarde]

YES! My secret vote while dead helped!

Thank you BigTin and Buddhafish for seeing through him, it was so hard for me to keep silent.

 

[choxorn]

Well, that was impossible. How the hell do I survive when I'm up against a guy who comes back from the dead, a guy who votes while dead, and a guy who vote-switches?
