Board 8 > Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Mafia: 5-1 Nothing a Bit of Teamwork Couldn't Handle

(+) Yeah! (+)

As the dawn breaks over the sprawling world of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, shock and mourning grips the citizens. News of the sudden death of Chang, a well-respected member of the town, has spread like wildfire. The once peaceful community is now filled with suspicion and fear, as everyone wonders who could have committed such a heinous act. Was it a ruthless member of the criminal underworld, seeking to eliminate a potential threat? Or was it someone closer to home, with a personal vendetta against the beloved Chang? The truth is out there, and it's up to you to uncover it in this thrilling game of Mafia.

CHANG HAS BEEN KILLED

He was Ashera, TOWN Last Stand

You are known as The Undying Blade. A badass name for a pretty badass character. You want to die and take all of your enemies down with you. But you just can't seem to pull that first part off! As a tank class, Town is going to need you to survive till the end. Too many times I've seen town blow it in MYLO. Let's give them as many chances for a comeback as possible. Just try not to tank the game!

Ability: If you are alive at MYLO or LYLO, you will be sent a PM informing you that it is MYLO and that your powers have activated (To clarify, MYLO means scum is only one mislynch + nightkill away from winning by majority). When Last Stand has activated, you become both Unlynchable and Bulletproof. That's right, any attempts to lynch you will end with day ending in a no lynch. Any attempted night kills on you will fail.

You win when all threats to TOWN are eliminated

I guess Chang and Lopen weren't redundant. Still no Vanillas, which is either telling or crazy.

##Vote: IGCD

I don't think this should come as a surprise to anyone, but hey IGCD hammered anotha' one. I do think he would do this one just because it would be funny to do it again. But unfortunately for him, I don't think being funny in an argument for being town.

Okay I was gonna wait a bit to see if anyone made some immediate moves that I could land a susprise hit on with my scan.

But now it seems like people are just waiting for me to make the day easier or not for them.

So fine
I'd considered scanning Chang, but decided against it because I was worried he could be protected by whatever targeted Sbell.
...
I didnt expect him to just be killed however.

I Scanned IGCD instead, thinking that was the more unpredictable choice.
Plus I didnt want him to become a distraction if he was town, and I just wanted him to be dead if he was scum.

##Vote: IGCD

He is the latter.

Oh well thats at least one player I have better feelings about. Slightly.

So no one can be his guardian angel this time. At least that makes today fairly easy.

I think the thing I have to wrestle with now is the concept of whether or not there are two or three scum left. Lopen yesterday was fairly certain of the setup being only two remaining. I just didn't think we had to be absolute about that yet, because for me it didn't change who I thought was scum.

Chang dying is giving me all kinds of paranoia tho..
Also forces me to reassess the game state.
I did actually ponder the odds of a Han+Chang cult combo who just faked the neighborizing bit.

Occams balancer tells me its 2 left. But no way am I gonna take that as a certainty.

Anyway, I sleep now.
I think we should use this day fully. There're more to discuss than just IGCD. But you know what to do with him now.

Okay, so that's probably my fault for getting suckered back in by Lopen, but at least it helps the PoE.

Not that I'm suggesting this, but it would kind of be poetic justice to hammer him without letting him defend himself, you know?

##Vote: Han

I promised Lopen I would.

I also scanned IGCD

234.
I think this might exonerate Ulti a tad bit.

You scanned me and what does 234 mean?

I've got to go do pre-planned gaming stuff in just a moment, so won't be around too much in the next several hour. Would say for my regularly scheduled votals analysis that I don't see that much that I dislike. HB and 5tar get small points for not being on the Lopen lynch maybe, but that could obviously be WIFOM. I said in my last big post of the previous topic that I would have been ignoring a major red flag if Ulti and Chang both ended up scum and I had joined that lynch, but Chang wasn't. Once again, the only real one that obviously looks bad is IGCD jumping on at the last minute given his history. But now with Death's scan, I do fully believe the "just having fun" angle that he thought it would be funny to do a double hammer when he's already been listed as prime suspect for many people.

So I guess when I have time to review, I'd want to look at anyone who was throwing up random defense for IGCD throughout the previous days. Funnily enough, the one that comes to mind is Lopen consistently saying he was the wrong lynch. I think Ulti also claimed him to be "obvious town". Not sure of the rest, but will wait upon a reread.

Han has done it all game too.

Interesting how you've followed the game enough to suggest my behavior, but not enough to know a power someone claimed.

Clearly, to honor Lopens memory we should accuse him of being a death Miller

Just to add to that post, this must be mylo if death is lying about a scan like that so you guys might as well hammer and just end the game.

not likely to go anywhere but lying about a scan is just bad form

I've skimmed the game and looked for people talking about me, its not that far fetched

It's pretty far-fetched.

One more guys. Let's get this game over with.

@Corrik just finish this game. Scum has clearly won.

Honestly if you really are town then scum deserves it.

Based on the game so far I have a guilty scan there is no talking out of it.

I TOLD YOU IT WAS IGCD!!!! What the actual f. Urgh. We had 1 job.

I hope Im wrong about being scum bomb

IGCD IS LYNCHED.

They were... That Banger of a Soundtrack, TOWN Vanilla

You were robbed at the game awards for best OST of the year. It may be my least favorite of the Xenoblade OST's, but it's still better than a vast majority. ACE and Mitsuda can just do no wrong. You can pick any song on the soundtrack and it is something special. Because you've already proven yourself since Xenoblade 1, you have no special abilities other than your voice. It is enough. I hope! Let the people hear it loud and clear.

Ability: N/A

You win when all threats to TOWN are eliminated

GAME OVER. CULT WINS

YOUR WINNERS ARE
Han,
Sbell
Dumey
Death

Sorry Chang

I did really enjoy my time in Neighbor chat with you

You can see the full list of roles HERE, in the Dead Town Chat:

Scum discord is HERE:
https://discord.gg/eKMSYZVs

Sigh

I think I'm done playing mafia here for an extended period

Well played scum but I don't think I can deal with towns that think legitimately solving the game makes you scum because I throw some suspicions around in the process

Just too many people here OMGUS. For all the talk about BCT doing that he's better than most of you at actually handling it because at least he realizes he does it.

And here was the full list of roles mafia had to choose from, and their flips.

DUMEY was Moebius O

DEATH was Moebius R

HAN was...Moebius Y, CULT Backup Recruiter

You are Z's second in command and inventor of the Flame Clocks. Just one of those irredeemable freaks who experiments on people and is a creep toward minors. Though I guess that's true of all of Moebius since everyone else in this world is younger than 10. Its a long story. Anyway, alongside Z you will help build up Moebius until his vison becomes a reality.

Ability: You are a backup recruiter, which means that if Z dies you inherit his ability. You still both share the same maximum amount of people that can be recruited into the cult, so once you have recruited 2, the ability is useless. You do however have a second ability unique to you! Each night, select one of three signals that you would like to intercept. 1. Cop Scan 2. Tracker 3. Watcher. If any of these abilities were used that night, you will get to see the results of the scans. This will not steal the scans, as the original recipients of the results will still see them. You will just get to share in their findings.

Moebius A - Activator: Each night, you can select a player to give them a double vote that they can use the next day. You CANNOT use this on a fellow mafia member.
Moebius B - Bus Boy: Each night, you can target a player and select another player for them to visit. This will not interrupt their potential use of a night action, instead their visit will happen in addition to their night action. If scanned by a role that can see movement, the scanner will only see their visit to the player you Bussed them to. Just think of this as a Framer but for movement tracking/watching/motion detection roles.
Moebius C - Concealer: When you die, by any method, you flip as ??? and your alignment is not revealed.
Moebius D - Death Delayer: Each night, select a target. If they die that night, they will live until the end of the following day phase, and die at the end of the day.
Moebius E - El Flavor Copo: You're a flavor cop. Sorry, the letter F was taken. Each night, select a target and you will learn their flavor.
Moebius F - Framer: Each night, pick a target to be framed. They will scan as GUILTY to any cop scans that night.
[11:16 AM]
Moebius G - Gladiator: I cant believe I put this in here. Simply cant believe it. We always say we never will again, and then we do. Please don't pick it. Also, you CANT use this ability in MYLO or LYLO. There, now you really wont want to pick it. Waste of a slot really. I'm not even gonna tell you what Gladiator does. Don't ask me. Its still technically an option though and I am required by law to answer if you were to ask me. Sigh....
Moebius H - Hammy Roleblocker: If you hammer someone during the day, the following night you will have the ability to roleblock a target.
Moebius I - Insane Roleblocker: Each night you will roleblock a random non-Moebius member.
Moebius J(Joran) - Jebaiter: If a bodyguard targets you during the night, they will lose their ability and become a Vanilla.
Moebius K - Kamikaze: Once in the game, at night, you can target a player with an extra kill. If your target dies, you will also die at the start of the day.
Moebius L - Last Scum Standing: If you are the last scum alive, this triggers. You become Godfather, Ninja, Bulletproof, and Strongman.
Moebius M(Mio) - Mafia Usurper: This is a lore accurate ability that you probably don't want to pick. Be my guest though. By nature of the role, the details will be kept secret and only sent privately to the person you assign this role to. This is only for the mafia team that feels they are doing TOO good and need to make the game more fun. I dare you to pick it!
Moebius N(Noah) - Ninja Godfather: [If Mio dies, you will lose this ability.] If scanned by a cop you will scan as INNOCENT. Your movement cannot be detected by any tracking roles. (Mio is not the same as Moebius M) (edited)
[11:17 AM]
Moebius O - Outcaster: Each night, select a target. That target will be treated as Untargetable, and all actions used on them will fail. You may target yourself.
Moebius P - Peacemaker: Once in the game, at night, select a target (Cannot target yourself). For the remainder of the next day, all votes cast against them will not count.
Moebius Q - Queenmaker: Once in the game, during the day phase and no later than 12 hours before deadline, you can Select 3 people. Only up to one of them can be a fellow Moebius member. These 3 people are now the only ones you can cast votes for the rest of the day. If day ends in a tie, one of the tied participants will be killed at random.
Moebius R - Revengeancer - Each night, you can choose to store the factional kill and not use it. On subsequent nights, as long as you are still alive, you can spend the stored factional kills all at once.
Moebius S - Stump: You cannot vote. Attempts to vote will not be counted. Each night, you can choose to deactivate this ability and retain the ability to vote again. You can also revert back to a stump if chosen.
Moebius T(Triton) - Hold up! Triton is a good guy. You can't have him. Well, you could. Check the safelist. (edited)
[11:17 AM]
Moebius U - Undecided: You will have no ability when you are assigned this role, but in any following night phase you can switch to the role you do want to have permanently going forward. Use this to buy extra time before making a decision. Like any Moebius role, can only be assigned once.
Moebius V - Vendor: Each night, offer a gift to another player. (One-use Doctor Save, One-Use Tracker, or One-Use Cop Scan) They will be told they can either deny the offer, or accept it and be roleblocked. They will see the list of choices but must be roleblocked that night in order to accept one. They cannot use the ability the same night they recieve it.
Moebius W - Weakener: Once in the game, at night, pick a target to be weakened. That night, any attempt to kill them will succeed and go through any form of protection. (Like a strongman kill)
Moebius X: Xtender: You may use this power once in the game to extend the day for an hour. This can be used at any time during the day, even during the 15 minutes AFTER the day ends, before the flip is revealed. To use the ability, you can either PM me or type ##Extend in the main game topic.

What a train wreck. Peaf town mvp. Think he was the only one that called the whole team at some point

Good game everyone.

Well played, scum. You've still got it, dumey!

Kind of funny that i called the n1 recruit on d2. I'm glad you guys killed me when you did, because this entire week was extremely rough with work.

Lopen, Mafia is 50% logical deduction, 50% social maneuvering.

That's all that needs be said.

I believe the phrase was:

"I'd be so jealous if Dumey and Han were Scum together".

So we recruited Dumey.
