Hats off to aflfinals, I didn't believe him but he did a pretty good job casting doubt on Thorson imo, I thought he was going to pull it off.

Why thank you. The profile visits are what killed me. Oh well.


If anyone is interested in the many hundreds of comments us Mafia types were spinning behind the scenes, you can find them here:

It reads bottom to top, but if you hit the little arrow, you can read from first post onwards. Note of caution: there may be a few f**k words.

Thanks Apey, was good fun. I'm 2/2 and haven't contributed at all.

Had no idea at the death until afinals666 was on 4 and KTF & Butch weren't voting for him that he was clearly J. Mousepad.

Still can't believe my kills got all robots...what are the f**king chances :(

Very low, but it did help me put some shit on Rebel so I appreciate that. Once we found out his ability everything lined up too nicely not to stir trouble. Right or wrong, made no difference to us.

I'm confused. Did the robot mafia lose its kill or something? Why did we just keep having day votes while I was asleep? I'm so confused.

When we were forced to out butch, we hoped that there was no blocking powers left. Unfortunately there was. I tried my hardest to drop Thorson, but the evidence on me was a little too damning. So, rather than wait and delay the end of game, they knew who all of us are anyway, we got lynched.

Afinals. You did well trying to convince everybody that Thorson was Joey, I had butch and you pinned down as mafia from yesterday, but you still had me second guessing myself.

DB was a roleblocker. After afinalsin666 died, the night phase became effectively pointless. butchmcdick would target someone, DB would roleblock him as he had done the previous night. It was a waste of everyone's time letting it eventuate.

I had several protectors. Fry, Lella, Amy, Hermes and Scruffy. It would be a long-shot to take me down.

Hence why I taunted into being vote lynched as it saved it being wasted on another townie and also why I survived a night attack.

That's what we were banking on.

We discovered Hermes was protecting you and knew their would be at least one other protector. We were hoping it was Fry.

Didn't realise it went that deep. Flexo, Bender was protecting Fry who was protecting you while Nibbler protected Leela from a night kill who was protecting you, while Amy, Scruffy and Hermes were protecting you seperately.

:lol: f**k trying to unwind that ball. After we failed to kill you we just focused on other people instead.

The first few posts in your quick topic shows how badly you were meta voting singling out mis and dogslife because they have performed well, Bunniesman would cry a lot about that

I was hoping I'd be a night target. Make a kill go to waste. I had a very deep layer of protection that would make me near impossible to kill. I cold have been more involved but I didn't want to paint a target on my protectors heads. FYI I didn't know the players whom were protecting me. Just the characters.

Later I will post up all the role PMs and make a few comments of each player as well as my opinion on the factions and the best players.

For now, I'll just make some observations about the game in general:

- Balance: All in all, the game balance worked out better than I had hoped. It was possible for the game to end quite early under unlikely circumstances. As the Robot Devil, Rebel needed the 7 robots killed, and particularly for 2 of them to be lynched. The latter condition had to be added so he didn't win by default in the case of them all being killed at night.

Similarly, as Dr. Wernstrom Parra Pride had to lynch the Professor to win. He needed to kill 6 people including the Professor. The Professor was protected by: Amy, Fry, Hermes, Leela & Scruffy. Basically, the Professor was the "trap" of Futurama Mafia: it was difficult for him to be killed, if he was targeted at night, thorson1987 as Scruffy would learn the attacker's identity but he had no actual actions or abilities.

In hindsight, it may have been too much to give the Professor that much protection. Originally I was going to remove some of the protection once Parra Pride died however it would have made no difference as Scruffy or Leela would have been kept as a protector, maybe both.

Omicron Persei 8 probably got the harshest deal out of the major groups/factions inside the game. It was hardest for them to win. This was partly because they weren't included in the original 23 roles I had planned. After 30 people had signed up, I ditched Mom and added those three. I tried to make up for their weaker protection by allowing their factional kill to rotate to the highest ranked member of their faction.

- Major turning Point: The failed kill on the Professor Dragon2010. thorson1987 was still alive as Scruffy so he learned the killers identity. Had they targeted anyone else, especially thorson1987 or DB (roleblocker), I think the Robot Mafia would have been victorious. Honestly, I think they deserved it more than town did. That's how the cookie crumbles in mafia though.

- Running a mafia: I had a lot of fun but also frustration doing it. It was my first time running one, so I made some silly errors. Thankfully, I don't think it had major impact on the result. I'm not sure if I'd run another one, but I'd be happy to co-host one with someone else. The biggest issue was that because I had made the game so complicated, I forgot about some minor things I should have done and the role PMs were not nearly as clear as they should have been.

With zero else to go on it's all random targeting. Why not target the people who appear to have a good grasp on the game?

The chances of mis and dogslife both being mafia twice in a row is small. Why not find out what threat they are to the current mafia?

In the end we didn't even kill dogslife, that was one of the indies.

Nothing Bunniesman can cry about is going to top the way he dummy spat his way out of this game.
