BTW I 100% never said what Mikal said I said here:
I didn't say anything at the time because he was trying to play up a scum strategy, but I chewed him out for this in the discord as throwing me under the bus like that was whack. If I think someone is bad at mafia, I would tell them and have done so in the past lol. I am sure you know this, just wanted to make sure though.

Mafia wins! Speedrace was the last remaining scum!
Scum MVP: Speedrace
He made some good calls with the tailor role, which was a huge gamble given how many power roles town had this game, but it paid off well. Manipulated town into thinking there was more scum than there really were and forcing lynches.
Town MVP's: Drafter/ragnar
The cop targets were amazing, and the way they played it was brilliant. 2 Guilties in a row were stellar, and mafia were pretty confused as to who the cop was until POE absolutely forced it down.
Balance thoughts? I expect to hear a bit about how tailor is pretty OP. I do agree with that sentiment. However the way I designed this game was that scum had to leave themselves extremely vulnerable anytime they used it. It was a big gamble as that JOAT was their only protection against investigation roles. They basically had no roleblock, redirect, anything when they would use it. Also town had a ton of confirmable roles (though this was also designed to build skepticism and lead mislynches among the town, as well as to balance mafia's super JOAT role that basically counters everything). Town would have had a very good chance of winning this had the bomb mishap not happened DP1. Town besides maybe two town players who knows who they are, played pretty well this game but were met with the unfortunate circumstances with greyparrot's bomb.
BTW as soon as I did the roles and saw GP rolled bomb I had the temptation to switch him with someone else because I had a feeling he would do what he did. But I also kinda thought it would be funny to see how it played out. It definitely was, but yeah I would be pissed if I was on his team lol.

You are Nadine Cross, and oh boy, are you a complicated character. You were the “Promised one”, supposed to wed the man in black, Randall Flagg, and give him a child. One day in a college dorm room with some friends, a ouija board told you your fate was to mate with an evil man. Any attempts at other relationships subsequently were sabotaged paranormally, and you had constant dreams where he visited you and made you promise yourself to him. You know your destiny is to join Flagg, as much as it twists and turns your stomach. But meeting Larry Underwood almost changed all of that. You approached him and asked him to become your lover, and if he would have said yes, things could have been so much different. But they didn’t, and after you had rejected him, he was still bitter and hurt and had moved on. The night he rejected you was the night Flagg finally seized control of you and you made the decision to join him. You are the ROLEBLOCKER! Each night you may visit another player. That player may not take any actions. You win with the mafia.

You are Randall Flagg. It’s a mystery as to what exactly you are, but even the most evil of men find you intimidating, no, unsettling even. Your constituents follow you out of fear, as you are unpredictable and known for hanging people on a cross who dis-obey you. You visit people in their nightmares, and coax them to follow you. And they know where to go. You are nearly omnipotent throughout the book and other King works. Therefore you are the MASTER JOAT. You have the following abilities: Role cop, Scout, Lookout, Ninja, Redirect. You can repeat use these abilities as much as you want, but can only choose one a night. You win with the mafia.
Ragnar- “You're the perfect American male Stu. We get the power back on, and you decide to barbecue" -Susan

You are Stuart Redman, a relatively normal guy with a good head on his shoulders, who's deeply in love with Frannie Goldsmith. You're a simple guy but you always do what’s right, and because of that are elected to be the de facto police sheriff in Colorado as people try to build a new life in Boulder. You are the cop. Each night you may choose a player to investigate and they will appear innocent or guilty. You win with the town.

Elminster- "That was the whole world, after all. Nothing but thoughts and plots."
You are Harold Lauder. You are a very intelligent young man who is known for being very fat, and being a depressive cynic. When Captain Trips unleashes an apocalypse that wipes out most of humanity, you think you are the only survivor from your small town of Ogunquit in Maine. As you moved to the Boulder Free Zone you were rejected and looked down upon for your cynical nature. This leads you to ultimately betray and kill multiple people. You always pick the winning side. You are the 1x Executioner. When you vote a player during the day phase, if that player has half or more of the votes required to lynch them, you can choose to immediately lynch them by submitting "Execute (player name)". You win if you survive to the end of the game. You cannot joint-win.
iLikePie5- “You ain’t no nice guy” - Maria
“Since you’ve pushed me to it, I’ll tell you exactly what I think of you. I think you’re a taker. You’ve always been one. It’s like God left some part of you out when he built you inside of me. You’re not bad. You would’ve gone bad if there was bad in you.” -Larry’s mother, Alice.
You are Larry Underwood, possibly my favorite Stephen King character of all time. You have some of the most in-depth character development of any character I’ve ever read. The quote from Alice Underwood sums up how Larry is in the beginning of the book. After struggling through the hardship of the apocalypse started by the virus “Captain Tripps” Larry goes on a journey first east from NYC to Maine, and then all the way back west to Boulder, Colorado. During your journey, you meet a lot of interesting people and face challenges that force you to either lose yourself to depression, or change and become better. Since your character develops from mentally weak in the beginning, to slowly stronger throughout the book, you are the developmental JOAT. You gain abilities of increasing use throughout the progression of the game. NP1: Miller. NP2: 1x tracker NP3: 1x watcher NP4: 1x vigilante. Abilities can only be used the night phase they are acquired. You win with the town.

You can't tell if it's really against their wincon until it's too late. Plus replacing them would give away their affiliation. If they do it multiple times then blacklist them
I can only think of a couple times on DDO/DART history where someone was blacklisted.
1. Royalpaladin, not for playing contrary to her win con, but for getting into insanely personal attacks at the slightest mention that she was scum. She would do the forum equivalent of burning your house down in response to the slightest pressure and eventually it got to much for people and she was blacklisted.
2. Mharman after throwing a mafia game for his team when he was pissed he got lynched.
Mikal was definitely in the wrong for what he did. I debated with him about it yesterday in discord and told him how dumb he was for doing it, and his response is that he basically thought he was done for and there was no escaping a lynch. I told him why that was dumb but I don't think he gets it. And he's occasionally aggrivated people in live mafia with similar plays, but he doesn't consistently do it, and randomly will play normal like he did in drafters game. Though I am sure if he continues to do stuff like that either people will stop wanting to play in games with him, or he will start getting policy lynched until the behavior is fixed.

Greyparrot- “Ci-a-bola, ci-a-bola, bump-e-tee bump! My life for you!”
You are Donald Merwin Elbert, better known as “Trashcan Man”. Weird name eh? Well You prefer it over your real name that’s for sure. You are a pyromaniac with untreated mental health issues. Luckily for you, the apocalypse killed off anyone who can stop you from burning stuff down. After a long journey west to visit the “Man in black” who keeps visiting you in your dreams, you have some pretty crazy encounters with a lunatic called “The Kid”. You escape with your life when the man in black sends a horde of wolves to kill him off, and have now devoted yourself to Flagg, AKA the man in black. Are you a bad guy? Despite devoting yourself to the baddest of bad guys, you genuinely seem good hearted and hate bullies. Your just a little crazy, that’s all. You also essentially nuked all the Vegas baddies in one of King’s most “out of the nowhere” Deus Ex Mochina endings ever, so I’d say that qualifies you as a good guy… Kinda. You are appropriately the bomb. If you are lynched, the person who hammers will explode with you. If you are killed, the person carrying out the kill on you will also die. You win with the town.
That1user- “Yes he was, M-O-O-N, that spells my main man. I miss him awful. But I’m going to see him in Heaven. Tom Cullen will see him there. And he’ll be able to talk and I’ll be able to think. Isn’t that right?”
You are Tom Cullen, a retarded adult male who survived the apocalypse, and made it safely to Boulder with the help of some friends. You are one of the most lovable characters in the book, and are the only survivor of the undercover spies sent by The Committee to Vegas to get information on Randall Flagg. Flagg can invade the minds of most, but apparently not of the mentally retarded. You are the only one who made it all the way to Vegas, and actually lived to make it back to the Free Zone in Colorado. After finding Stu Redman, you two fight starvation and injuries to get back to your loved ones. You are thus the Soldier. If at any point you are the last living town member, The Town wins. You win with the town.
Warren42- “Show me a man or a woman alone and I’ll show you a saint. Give me two and they’ll fall in love. Give me three and they’ll invent the charming thing we call ‘society’. Give me four and they’ll build a pyramid. Give me five and they’ll make one an outcast. Give me six and they’ll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they’ll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.”
You are Glenn Batemen, an associate professor of Sociology who went into retirement briefly before the apocalypse hit. You were by yourself with your newly adopted dog “Kojak” when you met with a group heading for Colorado. You tag along mostly out of curiosity about seeing the new world being built up, and have a vested interest in this because of your old career. Upon arriving in Colorado, it was your idea to form a “Reform Committee” to get together and restore some semblance of democracy. You are the loveable old man of the group. Most everyone likes you because of your friendliness, thus you are the 1x friendly neighbor. One time in the game, you may visit another player. That player will be made aware of your role and affiliation. Your target will receive the following message “Hi! You’ve been visited by your friendly neighbor warren. Warren wins with the town.” You win with the town.

Posted in:
Welcome to “The Stand” Mafia! This theme is a book written by Stephen King, and is considered his magnum opus. It’s the largest book he’s ever written, and to many fans of King, is considered an unparalleled masterpiece, even in comparison to his many other popular works.
It is about a pandemic that starts after a patient zero for U.S. government bio weapons lab escapes, unleashing a deadly virus on the world. This virus is nicknamed “Captain Trips” and is a super flu similar to the Corona Virus but much more deadly.
This Virus wipes out 99% of the population. The survivors start seeing visions of either a friendly seeming old woman, or dark haunting images of a man in black.
Both visions guide them to either Las Vegas or Colorado, where the survivors understand they are destined to clash with the other group depending on which side they choose.
Also low-key promo: If you are interested in the theme of this game, you might want to check out the new show for it which will be premiering on December 17th, on CBS all access. I for one am pretty excited to watch it!
Rules, and some mod notes:
Standard rules apply, no editing/deleting posts, no outside communication from non mod created messages with other players in the game. All players role PM’s have a quote at the start of it, you can copy and paste the quote at the start of your PM, but when claiming please paraphrase your role pm itself. Flips will occur the following day phase. All players in this game were personally invited. I chose players I knew would be active, and put an effort it. I hate having to ping people multiple times, or find replacements, so if you got an invite it’s because I know you to be pretty active. If you have a question regarding rules please ask. I will not answer questions publicly in the phase.
If you have a question you can PM it to me. This is to avoid giving any potential game breaking information that could hurt the mafia team. I generally won’t answer questions about how roles work mechanically, unless that role is already flipped and in the graveyard. I do this just to play on the safe side as a mod, believe it or not sometimes even answering small questions can really screw over a scum team and it’s not fair to them.
Also as far as roles go, your understanding of how a role works might not be the same as mine. Sometimes I literally take a role from drafters role list and make it work mechanically as that list says it does, and sometimes I just take inspiration from the role and add my own tweaks to it. Sometimes I completely make roles up as an experiment as well. Sometimes my modding mechanics are not the same from game to game, IE if x shot roles keep their abilities on being roleblocked or not. Everything is on the table, and I mod each game separately according to the specific vision I have for it. If there are any questions on how a role role works that isn’t in the graveyard, I will refer you to this OP to make things simple.

This game will be semi open. By semi-open, I mean three of the following four statements are false, and only one is true:
- There are 3 mafia, and 1 is a lone wolf.
- There is 3 mafia and 1 non-joint winning third party in this game
- There are 2 mafia, and 1 joint winning third party in this game.
- One town role is either flavored or has a hidden mechanic.
Day phase will last 72 hours. Good luck everyone and have fun! DP expires 12/10/20 @ 11:30 AM CST Barring no extensions are placed.

I'd rather not just concede the game, but people are being awfully quiet. Supa, you should really be talking more because you're the only confirmed townie. Your insights can be trusted more than any of us. GP just doesn't seem to care much, which seems to be a running theme here. Warren goes in and out. Water and Croc are just plain absent most of the time. That just leaves you, me and Pie, and I'd be surprised if more than 1 of us are alive by the end of the NP. Come on, guys. Even if there are 3 mafia among you, playing like this just ruins the game.
It's partly my fault too, I was absolute demoralized thursday. But at this point either option is a huge risk. Letting you live = risk, 3 scum and mislyching = game over.
Not much we can really do but choose the one that seems less risky, which is banking on 2 scum and lynching you.

Greyparrot is notoriously hard to read. Part of me gets the vibe that he is trying to manipulate me into not lynching him by buddying me and pretending not to care about getting lynched. Another part of me senses real frustration and willingness to accept defeat based on the shitstorm that was dp1/np1 and lynching him could be a mistake.

Ugh. I think pie is right, it might be best just to policy lynch whiteflame and pray that there are just 2 scum. If we lose, that sucks, but dp1 was really unlucky and we can blame a lot of that on mike. If the game doesn't end, we know there's only two scum with a potential 3rd party, and we still have potentially 2 day phases to work with. We might just end up lynching greyparrot tomorrow anyway. I hate the idea of lynching whiteflame when his behavior and role point to him being town, but assuming there are just 2 scum he's going to be a liability for MYLO/LYLO, the only way he doesn't hurt us late game is if we lynch scum accurately today. There is too many unknown variables and risk in that.
I am in no rush, and will hear out opinions.
Play it safe (kind of because if there's 3 scum this is over) or gamble and try to lynch mafia today between the POE players?
