Mafianic 815 Epilogue: Live together, die alone

[Bond]

Yeah, well, what really won this game was BaB picking myself and mana to use his power on the first two rounds. We were pretty formidable after that, it was just a matter of BaB finding the survivors, me killing them, and mana protecting the right people. Another key was that our group of Survivors almost always had a voting majority.

Although I have to say, mana, you were right about there being a traitor, haha. Sorry about that.

I was blatantly the Vigilante so that the seer could find me fast.

That is a great idea with the secret forums too, much better than those damn PMs.

[BreakABone]

Yeah, always a chance with expanding the circle.

It was also why never shared who the vigilante/guardian was with our Alliance.

I am curious Dyflon, what would have happened if final round was 1 on 1? Did the Others win?

Anyhow, I hope the next one is the Nintendo themed one we were promised.

[Professor S]

I honestly did not deserve the survive this game, as I sucked from beginning to end, unlike last time I played when I warped minds like water warps wood. My arrogance in my former success proved my undoing, and shall humble myself in an attempt to refocus for the next round.

By the way, I far prefer the scifi/fantasy stories for these games as I think it gives people a more attractive opportunity to role play.

We let you survive so you could live with your guilt.

[Professor S]

Yeah, I tried to throw a last dich effort to preserve Bond because of his power and have you guys kill me. Taking one for the team, as they say. I was 90% sure it wouldn't work, but it was worth a shot as I knew Bond would be almost surely killed once the Guardian was gone.

[jeepnut]

I'm surprised the guardian didn't try to protect himself. You can do that can't you?

[Bond]

I think so. It was probably my mistake as I told mana to protect me. It retrospect, he probably should have protected himself that round, and then protected me the next round.

And that was funny Professor. First time I read it I wasn't sure at all what you were trying to do, haha.

[manasecret]

I went with the odds and who was more important. Keeping Bond alive was the most important thing. I knew the chances were that you were going to attempt kill the Guardian, but three things kept me from protecting myself.

1. We still didn't know for sure that you knew I was the Guardian. So if y'all went after the Guardian, there was a chance you could have killed another Survivor who wasn't. However, I expected you would guess it was me because I have been so active. (Of course, we didn't know about the Traitor at the time..)

2. There was a chance that you guys would think I would protect myself and instead try to kill the Vigilante (Bond) again, thinking he was left unprotected. In fact, you guys did contemplate that notion.

3. All other things aside, we HAD to have Bond to win. The chances were the Others were going to capture me. But there was STILL a small chance you would go after Bond again, and losing him for one more round might have been fatal. That chance overruled guarding anyone else that late in the game.

[BreakABone]

I felt protecting Bond was important as well.

Because if it came down to any of us 3 having powers, it made more sense for Bond to be there. As my Seer powers would be obvious if I voted for the Others, and while Mana could protect himself he really had no other means of attack.

It was great that the Seer, Guardian and Vigilante were able to come together so quickly so that there were no mistakes such as trying to vote me off early. Or Bond killing the wrong person.

As for TML, I believe his power was a one time use thing, not sure what it was though.

[manasecret]

Oh, and I almost forgot. The round that Bond was outed because he was protected by me, there were TWO captures. We didn't know if that was a special ability or if from there on out you had two captures per round. So you might have been able to capture both of us, meaning I had to protect Bond.

[Dylflon]

Secret special abilities:

TML (Kate) had the "copy-kate" ability. He could select two targets per night. The first target would be a mimic, if that person had a power he would adopt that power for a round and direct it at the second target.


Prof S (Hurley) had the manifest ability. He could see the results of every seering but did not know who the seer was.


GameMaster and SQurel (jin and sun) started the game knowing who eachother were.


jeepnut (Ethan) had the Preggo Hunter ability. Every round he could check a survivor to see if they were Claire. If the Others team were to abduct Claire, they'd get two kills the following round.

Teuthida had the same ability (called Amber Alert) but directed at Walt.

James (Mikhail) had the kamikaze ability. He could take himself out of the game to take someone else out of the game at the same time.

Germanator (Ben) could control James' ability and trigger whenever he wanted against whoever he wanted. This fact was hidden from James. Also, if he was the last surviving Other, he'd become immune to seering and vigilante kills.

[Bond]

Those were some sweet special abilities! Too bad several of them weren't used.
