The Mansion Mafia - Hold on tightly to your secrets
- Thread starter Brazil
- Start date
Literally would have won that night, unless I stupidly marked the player scum would kill
One of the most memorable things I've seen in a Mafia game so far, besides the D2 of this game of course.

turmoil and muffin. was probably gonna mark saenima or dubs the last night
Yeah, kudos to all first-time players, you all played great! Hopefully we'll see you in future games.
I was kind of hoping stu would pull out at least one more day phase, but alas, the game was done as soon as I went to bed that one fateful night
good game
good game
Haha, sorry. I just didn't want to drag it out any longer.
It got me plenty of entertainment though for the last hour of the game haha.

Ok, so, the remaining Rooms were:
Green Room - There would be no lynch. The most pro-scum room there in the game. People would still be able to vote for "No Lynch", however, and "hammer" it to end the day early.
Grey Room - Anyone who moved their vote more than 3 times would be roleblocked. This was planned as an early game room - I thought the description would be alluring due to its uncertainty -, and the idea behind it was to create a dynamic that would leave PRs more hesitant to vote, while vanilla townies would be left with the weight of having to show constraint as well to not give away their position.
Purple Room - This one is similar to the Grey Room, but weirder and harsher. The player who moved their vote around the most during the day would be killed. Naturally, the idea wasn't to have any extra kills, but to make it so that people would only vote once during the phase.
The Red Room obviously would also have a glass wall, but players would only be able to vote within their own groups.
The inconsistency between the three BP roles was purposeful, as Stan's Berserk Mafia - a game in which all scum roles had asymmetrical equivalents within town - was one of the big inspirations for this game. I liked that, and I wanted to use those small differences as a balancing tool. Since the self-watcher's power was passive, I wanted to give that player an edge. With the knowledge that they'd be warned if their BP was hit, they'd have reason to suspect claims from the neutral and scum BPs.

Since town didn't have that many active PRs, I decided to add two identical sleepwalkers to dillute the tracker's and the self-watcher's powers. Just as easily as you trusted WSD, a different player in your position could've ended up deciding to thunderdome him over the claim - maybe suspecting a role cop, or even a scum equivalent of their own power. The names were there to add a little spice to that doubt (or to reinforce the trust).
I'm not a big fan of RNG either, but I figured I could get away with a single element like that in there. Naturally, it turned out to have a big impact, haha.

They should be right around the corner :)
I can't have any more nemeses, I already have zipped apparently.
Don't even remember why.
I don't even remember what I did weemadarthur. I wish I could... Good game though, again though on opposite sides
You son of a bitch, you'd kill the doctor?
Also, how did you all not figure out I was the doctor until I died/the scum tracked me? I was not subtle at all.
You're never going to trust me again after GIF Red are you?
Also town, I gave you stu on a silver platter right before I died, but noooooooo
How was my play this game? I think I handled everything a whole lot better than any game previous. I know I kind of shot myself in the foot on my last day, but I was kind of panicking.
You had me %100 fooled, I would had lunched zipped and stu before than you
this
I forgot to mention that I really like the touch of Blargonaut and the time machine being the ones behind the fluff of the game, the lore keeps getting deeper

Kalor did you notice that 'breadcrumb'?
After you pointed that I was like 'holy shit I am sure he breadcrumbed it somewhere' lol
