Already done about a third. Tagging for later.

*You hear a odd trumpeting from the Secret Shop.*

Hello everyone! We're discontinuing a few items tonight, and have a couple new ones in stock. Check it out! The Quelling Blade has been subject to a recall and is no longer offered today. A Greevil took issue with us using its eggs for mayonnaise instead of couriers, so the Mayonnaise won't be here after we close, either.

Trusty Shovel - 100 gold - Fancy yourself a bit macabre? Try this reusable tool! With this item, you may use a night action to visit a lynched dead player and attempt to claim an item they had. There are no guarantees you will be successful, however, and you may not perform any other night actions if you do this.

Blink Dagger - 600 gold - Another reusable tool built-to-last; once every other day, gripping the hilt of this sacrificial blade will grant short-range teleportation for a time; if used as a day action, any votes not already on a wagon will not be able to affect you for three hours. If used as a night action instead, almost anyone targeting you overnight will fail (though you will be seen teleporting away.) A coordinated gank attempt will put this item on cooldown, and you can still receive items from living players if this is used. (And no, the day action will not be kept a secret.)

These new items will be available for purchase after 8 PM tomorrow. See you soon!
These new items are not in stock until night falls, a little under 24 hours from now. Day actions are due by 6 PM EST, a little under 22 hours from now.

Also I wouldn't call it a "worst FS game" but I'm also a weirdo who couldn't get into Bloodborne at all despite my love for gothic horror otherwise, so take for that what you will.

I'm in the "love DS2" camp except for three things about it.

1.) Unlike 1, the geography makes no sense and no amount of retroactively making the series eldritch locations explains it away.

2.) Soul Memory PVP matching was a mistake when it was popular.

3.) When you are quite literally one of the best builds to handle the Shrine of Amana and it's still a gigantic pain in the ass, even post nerf, you've made the area equivalence of Bed of Chaos (with Capra Demon dogs)

Night actions are taking some additional time to process, but let's get some important ones out of the way.

A loud roaring pierces the night sky.

Corrik has been slain! They were...
URSA, TOWN Loud Roshan Hater
"The spirit of the first bear lies immortal in me."

You are literally a talking, angry, bipedal bear with teeny tiny hind legs (and, if some circles are to be believed, you wear clothing too goofy for the setting.) You are a territorial resident of the woods where the battle of the Ancients is taking place, and boy howdy are you aggravated that a giant lizard-dragon-ram... thing has moved into your turf. You are resolved to end his whole godsdamned career (and you have known and killed a few gods intruding in the woods, too.)

Forest Prowler - Once per DAY PHASE you can use a day action to DM the host a target living player. You will be told if that player is Roshan or not.

Enrage - During NIGHT PHASE, you can choose to loudly visit a player as a night action. Every player will be made aware of a roaring noise occurring in the middle of the night unless you cover your tracks. If you visit Roshan, Roshan will die at the start of the next DAY PHASE and you will claim any items they have.

Be careful, because if you visit anyone else other than a Town member or Roshan, you will die.

Also...
Lea has been slain! They were...
GONDAR, TOWN Miller Ninja Item Thief
"Just business. Nothing personal."

You're ALL about the dollar. As a stooped, grizzled cat-like bandit, your job title, despite being "Bounty Hunter," is to harass your enemy laners and steal their money. Finding yourself in a game of B8 Mafia, your practiced hands and eye have managed to get you further beyond this, and you can now steal most other tangible things to help your team out... or yourself. You're not picky. Ultimately, you want to win, but you're just having so much *fun* bleeding your target's economy dry.

As a Ninja, you will not be detected by most conventional means of motion detection, and as a Miller, any alignment scans will read as the opposite alignment.

Jinada - Once per night, you can use a night action to visit a target and steal their item. If successful at stealing an item, any attempts by your target to use its item during the night will fail, and it will be placed in your inventory instead. The target will be notified their item went missing in the night at the start of the next day phase, if successful. Please note that certain items can not be stolen, and if a target has multiple items, you will only steal one of them at random. If a target has no purloinable items, you will attempt to steal gold instead.

Again, certain night actions and info are unresolved and I am hurrying to get them out, plus flavor vids. I will confirm in topic when all are resolved.

A new day dawns. The shop remains open with its inventory. You may begin posting a bit early, meanwhile.

#GuessTheGame #117



Took me a while today, as I've never played it.

If you're going for easiest, it's actually one of the ones you struggled on, but not to make you feel bad.

It's Iron Golem; there's an NPC summon that can solo him in a closeby tower, and that summon is one of the many series badasses.

And even then, if you had heavier weaponry, Iron Golem can be staggered... and die immediately falling off the cliff.

Second easiest? goes to Ceaseless Discharge, who will detach himself from the wall if you run away and die for it.

The Secret Shop Inventory

Mn Mayonnaise - 25 gold
- A small jar of bog-standard mayonnaise made from leftover Greevil eggs. We only sell this because some woman riding a panther with a largely incomprehensible dialect started throwing spinning blades everywhere screeching about "Selling Mayonnaise" and "Buy the mn." It's edible, allegedly, but kind of gross?

Clarity Potion - 50 gold
- A tiny vial of mana-regenerating liquid. If you use this, you will be able to use any "once per game" ability an additional time *providing* you are not targeted by someone from an opposing faction at all for a period of time.

Quelling Blade - 100 gold. A small, reusable, cost-efficient hatchet, which boosts your damage slightly against non-heroes. It's also handy for the purposes of, y'know, BEING A HATCHET. Using it as your night action destroys any trees surrounding you.

Mango - 125 gold - a lightly enchanted tropical fruit whose trees were exposed to the latent magical energies of the Ancients for generations. Consuming this as a free action will refresh "once per day" abilities that have already been used and allow an additional usage of them that day.

Healing Salve - 200 gold. A flask full of a viscous green syrupy oil. Using this on a target as a day or night action greatly increases their health regeneration, though any incoming damage or poison will dispel the effect.

Massive Pidas - 450 gold. A sinister-looking giant golden gauntlet with an engraving of a bulldog etched into the palm of the hand. Possessing it allows you to double your passive income.

Blessing - Aghanim's Shard - 500 gold - A small, sapphire-blue fractured bit of crystal or gemstone. These are able to be freely consumed to unlock the hidden potential of a hero, or used as a free action on a trusted ally. Passing them still consumes your relevant day or night action.

Divine Rapier - 3333 gold - a weapon favored by the gods, so powerful it can never be owned by any one person for long - however, even in a weakling's hands it can topple mountains (by stabbing them, apparently.) Carrying this allows you to kill any living player of your choice immediately as an action; carrying this, however, also reveals your role and alignment to all players, and if you are targeted by anyone on an opposing faction, you will be killed, with your killer immediately choosing to claim an item for their own.

Sultan has been GANKED! They were...

Mirana, MAFIA Elusive Roleblocker
"It was not luck, but skill!"

You are the chosen of Selemene, princess of the moon, and one of the stars (heh) of the "hit" Netflix adaptation, Dragon's Blood. You were a night elf back in the original Dota, and that should tell you ALL about how haughty and self-entitled you are. You are a moderately lucky mounted archer on tigerback of a great white sabertoothed tiger named Sagan, and shoot a bow with such grace that it violates most physical laws to travel as agonizingly slow as possible to hit its mark. You also can call meteor showers to the ground at will, so that's fun too.

Leap - As an Elusive hero, you are immune from the effects of any night kills by automatically leaping away from danger as it approaches.

Sacred Arrow - As a roleblocker, you gain the ability to, once per day, as a night action, launch a precise arrow at a target from the treeline. This arrow will impact your target and prevent them from taking night actions that night, or using items until the start of day phase.

All living players receive their passive income.
All players on the gank train have received 100 additional gold for participating in a Mafia member's lynch.
The Secret Shop is now open and may be visited (or targeted with the appropriate ability) as a night action.
Please get your night actions in by 7 PM EST tomorrow; Day 2 begins 8 PM EST tomorrow.

Votals updated. It takes 8 to lynch with 15 alive.

"Welcome to the Secret Shop!"
We will be opening after nightfall and remain open throughout the day and night. Shopping can be done as a day action if you decide to take no other day action or pass any items, though it will be visible to any player that you are visiting the shop. The shop may also be visited as a night action, and is a valid target for scans or monitoring.

"What does a hero truly need?
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/7/7/AAAACbAADpDR.png

Hello, and welcome to Dota 2 Mafia 2. You are one of the chosen few heroes to Defend your Ancient in a constant, multiplanar war. What are the Ancients, you ask? Two halves of the same whole a slightly-corruptive, yet immobile, shattered consciousness that over eons has terraformed their surroundings and some of the lesser creatures around them into a reflection of an aspect of their former self. It isn't entirely clear.

Point is, you are a Hero one of the few who resist the corruptive forces to not turn into a creep. Your goal is to topple your opposing Ancient whether you're the RADIANT, colloquially known as Town, or the DIRE, colloquially known as "Mafia." You are to work with your team... wait... you mean you don't know who they are?

Who writes this crap? Ugh. AFK in fountain, GG GL go next.
At least try!
Ughhhh, FINE.

Most of you are of the RADIANT side. Beautiful, lush forests and cherry blossoms, glowing quartz crystal still just as sinister as the DIRE side, which is your standard withered trees, polluted soil, and igneous rock. DIRE has their act together a bit better, and is more coordinated. Your goal? Destroy the opposition utterly so you can freely siege the enemy Ancient to return it to wherever it is elder gods go when they die. Or, to put it succintly:

Town weed out non-town players and eliminate them using the abilities provided to you and your votes.
Mafia gank other players at night and use coordinated tactics to get them to turn on themselves.

...Who am I, you ask? A retired hero, now a shopkeeper. I've seen this battle again and again. I may have some wares for you later, if you pay in coin; you'll find me a bit of the way's to the forest. And don't try to pull anything funny on me. I've seen and handled worse than gods in this place.

Please review the rules below.

1.) This will be role-madness style. As it has developed, it's been made clear I needed to confirm it as such. It is experimental in part because I am new to hosting, and in part because I believe I've written up something so fun could be had for anyone. Balance may be a bit skewed. It should work just fine, as I've put some thought and effort into this, and if not... well...
2.) Leave your Haterade at the door. This is a game. We are ostensibly all working adults, and if you want to bring certain bigoted views or commit TOS violations, do it on your own time. Calling someone scum or scummy is fine. Calling someone a jackass is pushing it. Calling someone worse is grounds for not being invited back.
3.) Timing and Actions. I am a full-time librarian. I do not always have 100 percent access to computers throughout the day and night, and I am aware other players in this game have time zone differences, so am relying in part on a co-host @PunishedBen. I am also relying in part on my own attention span to DMs, which aren't always reliable (your host is, unfortunately, part deaf and occasionally fails to hear the phone if the vibrate isn't enough.)

I enjoyed the 8 PM Eastern end time of Simple Mafia just past (or rather, I would've, if I wasn't ill, so knock on wood that won't happen again,) so let's aim for that for start/end of day, and to make it clear:

Days last for 48 hours or until someone is eliminated by vote.
Night lasts for at least 23 hours, or longer if a player is eliminated early in a day.
There will be a twilight period of one hour after a stop is called for flavor and resolving of abilities. I will resolve stops earlier if any occur during the middle of a day without ending a day (for example, if a player is modkilled.)

Day actions, if secret, are due before 6 PM, or two hours before standard end-of-day, and resolve in the order I receive them.
Night actions are due before 7 PM, or one hour before start-of-day, and will resolve after I have determined interactions between who has done what.

You are limited to one day action and one night action only, unless otherwise stated in your role DM or your item's description. Day actions include passing items, using items, or using any abilities your role DM indicates you have, unless otherwise stated by the item or ability.

4.) Votes, votals-keeping and Stop calls. Keep your votes and actions taken clear. The easier it is to follow what you're attempting, the easier it is to keep the game going. Use this with ##vote: <target> or ##unvote - I will attempt to keep votals accurate.
5.) Flavor. Mafia is a game of truths and falsehoods. You can lie about your flavor, if you like, but do not attempt to use the actual wording from your flavor as an argument for "wait why would I do that Isquen said this." Like back in the Pokemon side of Star Wars/Pokemon Mafia, flavor does not necessarily equate to alignment nor ability. And if I've been warned for modkilling over it in the past, so shall you be. If you have any questions about your flavor, I encourage you to look up your assigned character.
6.) Flips. Role flips for dead players will happen at the end of day phase. There are no janitor roles or items to alter these. Once a flip is posted, the death is final.
7.) Items exist in this game. Unless I have told you otherwise, your item is essentially a one-use consumable role that works in addition to your normal role. For my own sanity, if your item(s) mention day actions or night actions, they may only be used if you have not otherwise performed an action. Sharing items with other players also counts as performing an action.
8.) There is an a money system in play. Every living player will passively generate 100 gold at the end-of-day. After Day 1 resolves, the secret shop opens up, and is available for anyone, unless otherwise noted, to use their night action to visit and purchase items. The shop inventory will be revealed midway through day one, and the shop may add items throughout the game. Inventory may change day to day, and will be revealed midway through each day if so.
9.) Standard Mafia rules will otherwise apply. If you have questions about the game that I am able to answer without compromising the game, please either DM me on here or on Discord (I am on the B8 Discord pretty much constantly, even if invisible or away.) Please refrain from deleting or editing posts, as well; doing a minor typo fix is inevitable, but changing your entire argument on the fly is a no-no.
