Rokkenjima Mafia - Game II [Game Over - Human Side Victory]

Aspirety · November 13, 2016, 5:39pm

Not to put a damper on things but I can’t help but feel disappointed about how this gameboard turned out. Usagi was killed off in the first twilight, everyone was super open and honest, and the witches were isolated all to easily, one even losing due to inactivity.

It is a shame. The game ended before it could get interesting. I feel sorry for our Game Master to see his Gameboard reduced to this. I will commend @pictoshark for keeping the early game interesting at least. I’m sure he’d make a very formidable witch.

Rematch, anyone?

Wonderlander · November 13, 2016, 5:40pm

I think that was mainly due to me and @Aspirety being Vanilla here

And thank you @Karifean for protecting me on night 1. I will never forget that.

And woohoo we won! Gratz @EternalMagician @Pepe @Aspirety!!! And you too @thesorceress IMO you won. <3

And seriously, @pictoshark, were it not for your insane theories this game wouldn’t have been half as fun. You rock.

Wonderlander · November 13, 2016, 5:41pm

Yes please.

@cjlim2007 - Died on the First Twilight

You are Usagi, Another World Aligned Stressed Servant

A very panicked rabbit, you are the assistant of the great Alice, and assist her in the fight against her boredom in whatever way you can. While searching for a new source of entertainment, you found a Fragment of the Crimson Sorceror. Appealing to Alice, she jumped right in and dragged you along.

As your duty, you must keep Alice entertained whenever necessary. Any time Alice plans to use her Ability, you must make a pun about rabbits somewhere in one of your posts that Daylight. If you don’t, Alice’s Ability will Fail, and will still count as one of her limited uses.

For your own purposes, you are Vanilla in this Game.

As part of a unique alignment, you also have a unique win condition. If both yourself and Alice are alive when the Game is declared over, you both automatically Win regardless of a Human or Witch Victory. However if one of you dies, the other will Lose even if they are among the final survivors.

You are allied with thesorceress, who is Alice, Another World Aligned Bored Maiden

Sitting outside the gameboard, the two of you have the ability to communicate outside the thread, and plan your actions to survive together. Whether you decide to use a private PM thread or a Discord chat, please add the Game Master to that conversation.

If your partner unfortunately dies, The Crimson will grant you an ability.

@RegNewmont - Executed on the Second Daylight

@pictoshark - Died on the Second Twilight

You are George Ushiromiya, Human Aligned Perfect Son

Son of the Second Child of the Ushiromiya Family, you’re a shining example to others around you. Great personality, great grades, and so on. Really, you’re almost too perfect. What’s with that?

You are a Switcher. You can pick two people every Twilight Phase, and swap their positions. To use this ability, please respond to the PM as per the example below:

Switch: PlayerA with PlayerB

For the specifics of this unique ability, let’s run an example. PlayerA is targeted to be killed by the Witch Side tonight. And, say, PlayerB is being investigated. With your ability, the targeting on these two people become reversed. Anyone using an ability on PlayerA will act on PlayerB instead, and vice versa. Unfortunately, you can not switch yourself.

Try to make use of this power, and influence the game where you can. It may not seem useful, but it has a strong power to throw the Witches into disarray.

@PocketyHat - Executed on the Third Daylight

You are Rosa Ushiromiya, Witch Aligned Solemn Mother

The Fourth Child of the Ushiromiya Family, you’re a single mother with a strong resolve and a questionable temper. You do your best in life to make it through the hard work and live happily with your daughter.

You are an Identifier, and can learn someone’s Ability once per Twilight Phase, assuming they have one. Respond to this PM as per the example below:

Identify: Playername

You can use this information to learn who may be threats to your Side, and plan your path to victory.

Your allies are:
Necem, who is Krauss Ushiromiya, Witch Aligned True Successor
and SuperM, who is Chiyo Kumasawa, Witch Aligned Old Bones

Thanks to the magic of the Witch Side, you can circumvent one of the game’s rules and communicate with your allies outside the game’s forum thread. Whether you decide to use a private PM thread or a Discord chat, please add the Game Master to that conversation.

@Karifean - Died on the Third Twilight

You are Terumasa Nanjo, Human Aligned Family Doctor

The family doctor, you have been a friend of the Ushiromiya Family for quite some time as you’ve watched over the Family Head’s health. You were here for the Emergency Conference, and now you’ve been thrown into this mess. What a rough day you must be having.

You are a Lifesaver, and once per Twilight Phase you can pick any Player and stick with them. If they are targeted by the Witch Side to be killed that night, you will save them. Respond to this PM, as per the example below:

Protect: Playername

What a natural fit for you, being the doctor and all. You can save as many people as you can, assuming you can cleverly determine who might be in danger due to what they’ve said in the day. Unfortunently, if you’re found out, you can’t save yourself. So play carefully.

@Necem - Executed on the Fourth Daylight

You are Krauss Ushiromiya, Witch Aligned True Successor

First Child of the Ushiromiya Family, and next in line for the seat of Family Head. You’re a confident and imposing man who will do what’s necessary to keep hold of what power he has, and stand above his siblings.

You are a Murderer, and can kill one player every Twilight Phase. Respond to this PM, as per the example below:

Kill: Playername

You can, of course, use this ability at your discretion. There is no requirement that you MUST kill every night. But remember, every death brings your team closer to victory.

You are a Roleblocker, and can prevent a Player from performing their Twilight Phase ability once per night. Respond to this PM, as per the example below:

Block: Playername

You will not be directly informed of your success, nor will you be told what ability you prevented. You must watch and identify your character in the Phase Write-up, and determine your results yourself.

Your allies are:
Necem, who is Krauss Ushiromiya, Witch Aligned True Successor

@Wonderlander - Survived the Disaster and Escaped Rokkenjima

@EternalMagician - Survived the Disaster and Escaped Rokkenjima

You are Hideyoshi Ushiromiya, Human Aligned Business Pro

Husband of the Second Child of the Ushiromiya Family, you’re the president of a popular family restaurant chain. You’re very cheerful and fun, probably because there’s no Ushiromiya genes in your body. It helps the mood to have someone like you around.

You are a Detective, and can pick each one Player each Twilight Phase to investigate. You will learn their Alignment. To use your ability, respond to this PM as per the example below:

Investigate: Playername

The result you receive will be the definitive truth, and if you have any doubts, I’m more than willing to repeat it in Red.

However, just because you know the truth, nothing says that you will be believed by your fellow players. There’s no reason for them to trust you, right? You could just be a culprit trying to pretend to play hero, to throw off suspicion.

Play carefully in this game, and identify the traitors. This is a strong power you can harness to save your family.

@thesorceress - Drifting, lost, in the rift between Worlds

You are Alice, Another World Aligned Bored Maiden

A girl from another world, you aim to fight off the poison known as boredom. Your faithful assistant, Usagi, has provided you with a Fragment that seems familiar, yet the story seems corrupted and twisted. Feeling an urge of curiosity, you decided to jump in for a better look.

You have the ability to cast an Extra Vote, and can use it Three Times during this Game. During any Daylight Phase, you may respond to this PM like so:

Extra Vote: Playername

They will have a (+1) added to their Vote Tally for that phase, and when the Phase ends, that Extra Vote will come into play and potentially change the results. It will not be made public that is it you who is casting these additional votes unless you feel the need to reveal it. Also, please note that your Extra Vote can not trigger the Majority Vote rule. You can not use multiple uses of your ability on one Daylight, only one per day.

However, your ability working depends on Usagi…

As part of a unique alignment, you also have a unique win condition. If both yourself and Usagi are alive when the Game is declared over, you both automatically Win regardless of a Human or Witch Victory. However if one of you dies, the other will Lose even if they are among the final survivors.

You are allied with cjlim2007, who is Usagi, Another World Aligned Stressed Servant

If your partner unfortunately dies, The Crimson will grant you an enhanced ability.

The Truth will be explained shortly, as we revisit each Twilight from the safety of our seats.

PocketyHat · November 13, 2016, 5:44pm

Good game players!~
It was fun playing while I could, and sorry for accidentally causing a loss for you @thesorceress, while the move was sort of calculated, I still can’t believe we accidentally found the third faction with our first kill.

While I do feel sorry for lack of activity from our roleblocker, we only have timing to blame here ^^'
But I will still thank the witches for the help, especially @Necem, since thanks to him I started to strategize even more and see all the options and discussed things together.
And thanks @pictoshark for being a blabbering fool and making things very interesting, you even managed to make me cackle a few times~

Karifean · November 13, 2016, 5:46pm

So what was that enhanced ability @thesorceress was gifted with?

Rabla · November 13, 2016, 5:48pm

And now, the Records of Truth. Please take your seats one last time, once you have prepared your tea.

The First Twilight

After the residents of the mansion had dispersed, long after the noon deliberation, several stepped back out of the assumed safety of their rooms and headed into the dark hallways. They had been warned that the nights would be more dangerous than the days, and no rules like “voting” would save a life in these moonlit hours.

A young man thought that helping people keep on the move would ward off any wannabe killers, so he attempted to redirect some people that came his way. The first person he managed to stop was a girl, and despite her complaints he was able to convince her to go back a different way. One of the servants tried to step between them in case it became a real argument, but ended up heading the way the girl wanted to go when requested to get what she came out for. The servant had intended to check on the young man anyway, and so the sudden task was an easy excuse to slip away. Pictoshark Switches Pepe and Wonderlander, and is Tracked by Pepe.

An older man eventually came out to see what the young one was doing, and after asking a few questions of him, convinced him to go back to his own room too. Now that Pictoshark is done, he is Investigated by EternalMagician, who learns he is Human.

A lady went to check on another young man, and asked about his work. However, he didn’t have much to talk about, so the lady left shortly after arriving. PocketyHat Identifies Aspirety, and learns he has no Ability.

A man in white went to visit the young girl, aware that she’d probably sneak off regardless of the danger in the house. Instead, he found the old servant in the midst of his errand, and helped him search for the girl’s lost item. When it was late enough that he was sure the danger had passed them, he bid the servant farewell. Karifean intends to Protect Wonderlander but gets Pepe instead. Nothing happens with them.

Away from all this noise, one older man stepped through familiar halls to find an unfamiliar sight. A young girl with an odd outfit and rabbit ears hopped from door to door, muttering various concerns about her presence in the house. She saw the man and hesitated, but decided to try talking to him, and asking for help in her task. However, despite her quick realizations that this man was no friend, she wasn’t fast enough to escape the hands around her throat. Necem kills cjlim2007.

SuperM did not act this Phase.

The Second Twilight

The young man put on his glasses and once again headed out to redirect people around the house, determined in his fight to beat the Witches. He was first approached by the same old servant from the previous night, who he sent away to the room of the man who had come to check on him yesterday. For that man, he had the servant move him to a private room. Pictoshark Switches Pepe and EternalMagician.

The man in white intended to visit this young man, worried he was drawing too much attention to himself. However, on his way through the house, an old woman stopped him for a chat. He had a drink with her as she talked about her days with the family, and by the time she was done the man in white had fallen asleep on the couch. Karifean intends to Protect Pictoshark but is Roleblocked by SuperM.

The old servant was once again visited by someone looking for someone else, this time a lady. She decided to ask him about his career, but gained no notable gossip; the old servant’s dedication to the family was everlasting. The man she intended to seek out later came straight to her, and they chatted for a while after he asked her some questions. Pepe is visited by PocketyHat, looking for EternalMagician, who learns he is a Tracker. EternalMagician Investigates PocketyHat straight after, and learns they are a Witch.

Once the old servant was done dealing with the whims of everyone else in the mansion, he finally set about his own way and went to check on one of the younger men, however found him asleep on the floor of his room, fallen from his bed. He clearly wasn’t going anywhere, so the old servant headed to his own room to get what sleep remained. Pepe Tracks Aspirety, who does nothing.

The young man with glasses was happy, his goal met for the night, and had headed back towards his own room before encountering an older man. He went to approach him, perhaps he had come to talk to him about his great work in the mansion. However, before he could open his mouth, a fist slammed into his gut and he was sent reeling into a window. Cut all over, bleeding, and dazed, the young man could do nothing to stop the foot that axed down upon his skull. Unprotected, Pictoshark is killed by Necem.

The Third Twilight

After an incredible doze, the Crimson Sorcerer shook awake, kicking the table the gameboard sat upon as he jolted up. He hurried to move the pieces into position, bowing and apologizing for his shameful display.

The man in white followed an older man as he made his way around the house, who questioned another man about a few things, hoping for some great business advice he could take back to his own company. Once he had his info, he headed off, the man in white still behind him. Eventually, they split up, the good doctor sure his mark was safe. Karifean Protects EternalMagican, who Investigates Necem and learns they are a Witch.

Meanwhile, the man approached earlier was heading down the hall the pair traveled, planning to catch up to one of them. He was unknowingly followed by an old servant, suspicious of his faith to the Ushiromiya name. When he saw him catch up to the man in white, he left the pair and headed his own way. Necem is Tracked by Pepe.

The doctor questioned the man, curious if he had something to speak of he had not mentioned earlier, but the man quickly clutched him around the throat and slammed him into the wall, holding him off the ground. As blood trickled down from the various wounds, across both the now cracked wall and his clothes, the doctor took his last breaths as the white robe turned red. Necem kills Karifean.

The Fourth Twilight

An older man follows the last of his suspicions, an old lady. He asks her a few questions until she shoos him away to enjoy a nice nap. EternalMagician Investigates SuperM, and learns they are a Witch.

Meanwhile, the old servant goes to check on a mysterious young girl from outside the family, who had been trapped in the mansion with them this entire ordeal. She made it very clear of her intentions to stay firmly in her seat, and to kill time the servant prepared some tea for the two of them. Pepe Tracks thesorceress, who does nothing.

Quiet mumblings echoed through the marble hall, among the remaining Players, when suddenly The Crimson rose from his throne and stepped around the table to stand in front of one of the still filled seats. He looks inquisitively at the Player sitting there, and to the confusion of the rest, he started poking the man in the chair and kicking at his feet.

“Who left this wannabe corpse in my hall? Didn’t you read the rules with your invitation? I have no sympathy for a Player who won’t Play.”

With a twirl of his robe, several ornate blades materialized in the air around them and smashed the seat, and the Player sitting in it, to dust. Once the air had settled and the messy gap in the circle now visible to all, The Crimson pulled a scroll out of his robe and started checking what Piece he would remove with this Player.

“Oh.” He started rubbing his forehead, looking somewhat amused. “Well, this is awkward.” He spun on his foot and kicked the entire Gameboard off the table, beginning to clap.

“Congratulations, survivors. The Game is closed! Enjoy your victory! Well, except you over there, miss Visitor, but well played regardless.” And with that, The Crimson vanished, and the Players left behind were left to see what this situation really was.

And with that, Game II draws to a close. Thank you all for participating! We hope to see you again next time.

Rabla · November 13, 2016, 5:52pm

I gave them more uses and (obviously) removed the restriction, but the Daylights always ended up being so clear cut they never had a reason to use it.

EternalMagician · November 13, 2016, 5:54pm

Well that was one way for the game to end. I am actually really surprised that we humans managed to win as since I managed to screw up and had to reveal myself early but somehow we did it anyway. But it was a fun game while it lasted even though it got kinda one-sided pretty quickly. I also have to agree that @pictoshark made the game alot more fun with his cackling and roleplaying, so props to you.

Also props to you @Rabla for GM’ing this, the writing was great and it was alot of fun to play!

But gg everyone and I hope we will have a rematch later.

Aspirety · November 13, 2016, 5:56pm

You revealing yourself so early worked to our advantage because we had to believe you without any doubt, it was as if you gained a red truth from the crimson himself ^^;

Usually we have to doubt the detective at least a little!

EternalMagician · November 13, 2016, 6:01pm

That’s true, which is kinda embarrasing . Realising that I was the detective, especially during my first game was a bit of a Oh crap moment and I’m really sad that the game became so easy due to my mistake but now I definitely know what not to do next time

SuperM · November 13, 2016, 6:03pm

I’am truly truly sorry that i was so inactiv, but the game started at a unfortunate date for me. I thank my fellow witches for not being mad at me.

Necem · November 13, 2016, 6:30pm

Thanks @Rabla for being our gamemaster! It was a fun game!

And thanks to @SuperM and @PocketyHat for working with me. We were so confident in the beginning but it seems that being a witch is not as simple as we thought. But it was fun nonetheless.

I guess the big turning point for us was the second twilight. We blocked Karifean and killed Pictoshark, but that wasn’t our initial plan. Since we didn’t know if our roleblocker is available for that twilight, our plan was to kill pepe… who got switched with EternalMagician. We would have killed the detective. Maybe if we did that, the outcome would have been our victory, but oh well. We learned a lot and, if there’s a next time, it won’t be that easy for you humans.

pictoshark · November 13, 2016, 6:40pm

I told you I’d bring your gameboard to ruin @Rabla, I toooooold you! Still, too bad my piece couldn’t live to the end, I guess the witch side saw me as a bit too much of a thorn in their side…

I think my playstyle would honestly work better with a vanilla Human aligned piece. That way I’d be able to operate for longer as my ability wouldn’t be seen as a threat.

Om the other hand, it would make the start of the game a little trickier as I wouldn’t be able to use my ability to gain people’s trust, which could make the early game a little more interesting.

I wonder how the game would have gone if @EternalMagician had been fried for his disobedience, instead of being given a second chance?

I’d be ecstatic for a rematch, stamping the Crimson Sorcerer’s face even further into the ground sounds like a great boredom antidote. Hmmmmm is there a word for that? A Boredote? Huh, I guess it’s a word now!

I’d be happy to sip on the boredote of @Rabla’s pathetic second defeat by my hands! Kuhuhuhuhu.

#You can consider me as already signed up for the third round.

(as long as I’m still a semi active user here by the time it’s announced)

See you guys then!

thesorceress · November 13, 2016, 6:50pm

I got two extra Extra Votes. I never actually needed to use them though–other than @RegNewmont, there wasn’t any point where I disagreed with who we were voting with and an extra vote there wouldn’t have saved them.

Karifean · November 13, 2016, 6:52pm

Ah yeah… @RegNewmont… sorry about the whole getting you killed thing. No hard feelings? ^^;

Pepe · November 14, 2016, 1:01am

I am now officially thankful that @cjlim2007 died on the first twilight. Mad props to @Necem, you chose the right person and I am forever in your favor.

thesorceress · November 14, 2016, 1:24am

Rude. I was seriously looking forward to someone eventually picking up on the random rabbit references and questioning it if Usagi had lived.

Rabla · November 14, 2016, 3:07am

The idea that one of you smarter players would have gone “Wait, every time the (+1) appeared, CJ said some stupid thing about bunnies” was hilarious to me.

cjlim2007 · November 15, 2016, 5:45pm

I was looking forward to making dumbass puns but then I died first day…
