Retro Mafia - DP4

Mharms abilities didnt copy and paste over:

Protect – Prevents a player from being night killed. (1x)

Curaga – Heals a player who was previously injured. (1x)

Haste – Allows a player to use two night actions that night. (1x)

So yeah, Mharman’s dead. I’m pretty sure his role was responsible for preventing the NK NP2, so props to him for picking the right target. Has anyone been “injured” by a role? He mentioned he had the ability to heal an injury, but neither he nor I knew what that would even look like.

If anyone has results, now is the time to provide them.

Okay everyone needs to full claim. Everyone also needs to reveal what they did each night. Please state your character, role, justification, actions each night and any results.

The game should be solvable via POE. Gotta make use of the lack of NK

I’m fine full claiming, but I’d like Rex to out first. I’ve got everyone else’s claims at this point, so if they don’t provide them, I can.

I'm fine with this. Pie seems to have cooked up a plan, Rex needs to claim, but Ragnar and Casey particularly need to claim.

You need to claim too

Ragnar and Casey particularly need to claim.

I'm Pokémon. I've got Pikachu's thunder attack, which translates into mafia as a lightening rod (our host did not say lightening rod, but the description matches; I pull whatever has targeted my target to myself).

NP1 I used my power on whiteflame, and then on Casey as well since I received a second use of it (so someone (almost certainly Magic) granted whiteflame or myself a second action). Both whiteflame and Casey were immediately informed of my actions, including the second action, so can verify.

NP2 was whiteflame again, since he is our hub and him surviving means more than mine.

NP3 see NP2.

...

Oh minor thing I should add: I was the 95k high score. Probably second place on getting the bonus item.

I've been up working late and need to get up early, but I should be able to post more tomorrow afternoon. I am the tracker. NP1 I tracked Pie and he didn't move. NP2 I tracked Earth to myself. NP3 I tracked Mharman to myself. My game is Duckhunt, sort of obvious role justification.

Given what I know about everyone’s night actions, that all tracks (pun intended). Figured it was a given you were an investigative role, but I wanted your results regardless, just a shame that you chose Earth and Mharman in particular, both of whom I have/had good reason to townread.

Anyway, I’ll out: my role absorbs the PRs of my dead target. I asked if I was allowed to target someone who was alive and absorb them if they die. Turns out, I can. I targeted Luna NP1 and lucked out, so I’m the reason he’s flipless.

His character was Mario. I’m willing to out specific roles if necessary, but that seems like enough for now. I’m going to need good reason to out fully at this stage.

As I said, I’m aware of everyone else’s claims already, but I’d like to get them all out on the table for everyone to see, hence the tags on this post. If you haven’t full claimed yet, now’s the time. That includes night actions where applicable.

I know who I’m sussing based on claims and night actions, but I do want this done in a specific order. Casey should claim first, then Vader, then Shining.

Thanks for sharing!

I am Donkey Kong, one of the first ever video games to have a 'damsel in distress' plot. Donkey Kong kidnaps Pauline, so Mario has to rescue her. Therefore, I can 'kidnap' someone at night, blocking actions used on them or by them. Though it's only a 2x role. So basically a 2x Alien.

NP1 I waived. I had practically no reads. My only real townread was Ragnar, and he had already indicated that he had a PR of some sort in our Mason chat, so I didn't want to interfere with that, and I figured that using my role on anyone else would probably hurt the town.

NP2, my first instinct was to use my ability on Rex since I sussed him, but Pie told me he trusted Rex based on his role, and I wanted to give that a chance to play out. Ragnar suggested that I use my ability on him and he would waive. However, I said that I was going to target Pie instead. My thinking was that if he was town, he was a likely NK target since he was pretty widely townread, plus he didn't have a night action anyway, so there was no downside to targeting him. However, I ended up swapping back to Ragnar at the last minute, though without telling him. Something about him telling me to target him when he had such a useful role felt odd to me. Plus, the more I thought about it, the justification for his role felt weak to me. Pikachu has electric powers, and therefore Lightning Rod. Like, I understood it, but it felt a lot less straightforward than every other justification I had heard up to that point. So I switched to Ragnar on a hunch and ended up getting roleblocked. NP3 I targeted him again and was RB'ed a second time. Also worth noting that he suggested that I waive on NP3. So obviously, I'm very sus of Ragnar now.

Chop chop let’s go

So you targeting him made his role flipless? Can’t say I’ve ever seen this role before. What’s the justification?

Why did you want Casey to target you NP2?

To not die.

Aside from saying that Kirby is adaptable and the description of the role (absorb a dead player, get their role), there isn’t one. The role does not state anything about removing or preventing a flip from being visible, either. That was a surprise.

That’s definitely interesting. I guess I’m still confused though. You said your role absorbs the role of a dead player but Mikal allowed you to choose a living player (Lunatic). Why did you choose Lunatic?

Can you ping Supa and Earth on Discord

To not die.

Why do you care about dying with your role?

Why do you care about dying with your role?

This is my question as well. The whole point of a role like that is to absorb the NK in place of a better town role.

That’s definitely interesting. I guess I’m still confused though. You said your role absorbs the role of a dead player but Mikal allowed you to choose a living player (Lunatic). Why did you choose Lunatic?

One of my early questions for Mikal was whether I could select a living player and absorb their abilities if they died that night. He indicated that he’d let it go through if I selected correctly.

My other choice NP1 was Icon. I didn’t know his role at the time, but if he was TP, I couldn’t have absorbed him and every indication I got was that his role wasn’t exactly powerful. So he wasn’t a viable target. At that point, it was mainly a question of waiving or trying to find the NK target.

As for why Luna, two reasons. One, he wasn’t pretty widely townread going into NP1, so that made him a likely target. Two, I was already in a PM with him and he had told me his character and role. I knew it was valuable to keep around, so I chose him.

Why do you care about dying with your role?

Because I know I'm town, and felt I was a likely target.

Also, it was a one off suggestion along the lines of "if you can't think of anything better for tonight." Not exactly applying pressure, nor protesting when Pie was chosen.

As for why Luna, two reasons. One, he wasn’t pretty widely townread going into NP1, so that made him a likely target. Two, I was already in a PM with him and he had told me his character and role. I knew it was valuable to keep around, so I chose him.

So you townread Lunatic based on his character & role? And that’s why you selected him? Still doesn’t explain the lack of flip though. Having a Janitor in this set up is super weak, and I presume Luna didn’t say anything about his role being able to flip.

Is there a reason you want Vader & Earth to claim before you do?

So you townread Lunatic based on his character & role? And that’s why you selected him?

Yes to both.

Still doesn’t explain the lack of flip though. Having a Janitor in this set up is super weak, and I presume Luna didn’t say anything about his role being able to flip.

His being flipless is not at all associated with his role, I can confirm that. As for why my role removes the flip, I couldn’t say, but that’s what it did. I’ll take it since it means scum don’t know about my role now.

Is there a reason you want Vader & Earth to claim before you do?

Vader in particular, actually. I don’t mind claiming after he does, but he’s been radio silent in our chat for 2 days and hasn’t confirmed any night actions. I think he should be the priority claim at this point, especially since I’m apparently the only one who knows his character and role. That should be public information up for discussion at this point.

To be clear, I have very good reason to buy Earth’s claim at this point. I have good reason to buy Ragnar’s as well. We can discuss them later in more detail.
