There are other mafia variants such as "two rooms and a boom" style (http://www.tuesdayknightgames.com/tworoomsandaboom/) where there is no elimination, and the goal for one team is to get their "bomber" in the same room as the "president" of the other team by the end of a certain day. At the end of the day each "room" votes for a negotiator who will pick to transfer a certain number of players from their room to the other room thus shifting the balance each day but also potentially moving the critical roles from or to their win conditions.

Then there are support roles to make the win conditions harder (team doctor must find out "president" before last day is over, team engineer must find out who the "bomber" is to make sure bomb is successful prior to end of last day), or third party roles with alternate wincons etc... 

Pro's: no elimination so people stay in the game.  Fixed length of game.
Con's: needs active players since if a person with an critical role doesn't show up then it's almost impossible (suppose a detective role could help mitigate this somewhat).  Some roles  can't be modified for forum use. host needs to control two rooms (threads) to prevent people from posting in the wrong one and hard to control PM's across rooms.

I had silly fun playing as the Happy Mask Salesman.  Hoping I could survive a little longer to play out the witness protection angle I had worked out, but it looks like my small absence from the game caused suspicion. 

Fun game guys,

That would have been quite funny.  Since Hestu was the Godfather in the Mafia's Maracas game, I was halfway thinking you were the Majora Mask player... 

Also also, spoiler: I'm not Cucco.

Really you weren't Cucco? That can't be right. 

I just realized why you thought I was Mop It Up.  Was it because on Day 1 I said I wanted to vote for Stratos but didn't know which character they were playing?  I thought I'd throw that in to see if anyone would take that to think I was Mop It Up as she typically makes it past the first couple days and was seeing if Mop It Up or Stratos would try to contact me after saying that...

You forgot the best couple.

I couldn't figure out how to put Fi with the Great Fairy (Sorry Great Fairy for no match up but initially you were going to be paired with Tingle so probably better off) and Khush started playing up the cross dressing Link story and concered with hats and accessories so I though putting Fi and link in the mall and search for something.  Ravio (thatguy) added the punchlines.

Didn't cover Linebeck and King of Red Lions either but that one is pretty obvious, though once I posted it Ravio clued me in to his plans for pairing up everyone to him so we turned it into an advertisement for the service.  That's why the rest of the images didn't come out till the next day so he could run his joke.  Not sure if that's what Khush had planed for the next day or not so sorry if we hijacked that day but his dating game stories were a nice touch.

I still maintain that I played like a townie. The problem was, everyone else was playing like they were Mafia, which ironically made me stick out for trying to be a townie. Whoops.

Also, Cucco, it's too bad you and I couldn't have gotten together sooner. We really could have had lots of fun if we had! I never targeted you because I enjoyed your contributions to making this game fun. I wanted to do more of that myself but it didn't work out.

That is true.  With so many 3rd parties and potentials to die from out of nowhere, most people did try to come off as semi-trustable but possibly mafia to make it hard for the Killer or Mafia to target them.  By seeming as a possible mafia member publicly they seem usable for the Killer/Mafia.  This is the main reason I was trying to take out people on the periphery to keep me as maybe the 3 worst threat and a hard person to vote against.  I imagine it was hard to be Mafia this game as you were forced to try to keep all the different angles in check.

I was trying to also be useful to everyone and I did PM you (and Ravio) day 1 and would have been receptive to any teamup as I was just trying to cause as much chaos as possible as it made for the most fun day threads and add a bunch of noise to sift through.  Sorry I didn't follow up with you later but that would have been fun, plus we may have been able to stop Ravio together! 

I feel I was fair with giving help whenever I could as probably Agitha, Dampe, Fi and Ravio could attest to, but no one else really approached me.

Also, Did I have the most money of any player at the end? I wanted to be richest corpse.

Oh yeah, you went down with 210 rupees. No one else ever cracked the 200 mark. Way to go Scrooge McDeku.

That's why he's holding the rupee bag... 

Congrats ShyGuy on the real victory.

I loved that everyone got into the roleplaying parts with Hestu's Songs, Dampe's Poems, Fi's interruptions, the link love Quadrangle with Cia, Mipha, and Agitha, and Ravio's schemes and defective products, Sad Deku Tree, and of course Link for injecting comedy during the luls.  You folks had me laughing my ass off.

Did all y'all figure out I was Majora or just get lucky?

It was a toss up between you, Mipha and Agitha in my mind at least but if I was anyone else who didn't have the info on Ravio, Deku Tree, and myself, I might have been convinced Deku Tree, or Myself could have been as well.  Ravio screamed Bomber in my eyes as he was willing to vote for anyone for a price with no fear of being blown up.  Kinda knew Red Lion was the flute as they changed the first vote against them on day 1 then never showed up again, ruled them out as majora to me.

Sorry for the wall of text but hope it was fun for everyone.  When Khush dragged me back to help him out I figured I try to pull out all the stops and go crazy with it.  Since I'm working on a career change to web development (got to practice some stuff with Ravizon)  I had time to devote.  Now back to trying to find a paying gig...

BTW: I'm apdude.  I haven't really been around for a while so I realize my play style may have been hard to pin to a specific regular.

Well that was pretty fun, I was hoping to try to pull something out at the end but it seemed I was only destined to be King Maker.  My only out was probably getting the boomerang but even then it would have probably involved leaving the townies around so they would just vote me out.  I probably should have tried to shift votes to Ravio earlier but I didn't know how without voting for him myself...


Notable daily activity from killer's role perspective:


Day 1:  Did screw up the PM to Moblin so was a little on the backfoot there.  I didn't lie to him (I wasn't mafia) but that doesn't matter much.  Initially I had him as the first target, but since he didn't vote and all the votes that were made were counted the chance he was the bug net seemed real to me at the time and didn't know who he was in contact with.  Fi contacted me so I joined but tried to cast suspicion on Moblin incase that PM thing blew up.  Also funnly enough Ravio sent me a shop list including the bow being sold out and something about arrows being no good without a bow, which in my head meant he was on to me.  Also Khush planted a little easter egg in the day thread about a Savage Lynel that ended up being a bird!

Day 2:  I put on the comedy act to endear some good will.  Ravio and I got into a bit of a war which was fun and ended up setting things up for later in the game.   Then the whole Moblin thing...  in the end I think I may have gotten Moblin to put me back in possible townie role but not sure...  Knew I need a good distraction and Navi's votes stuck out to me.  Whatever their role was it would send some folks on a chase.

Day 3:  Focused on the Ravizon schtick playing the good employee.  This is when Ravio started prodding me for my role which I didn't give at that time, but he told me he was the bomber.  Should have started to get others to vote for him at that time but was having too much fun with the store stuff, plus his antics were shielding me, win win..  Vote changer could have really shifted things that day had the godfather and the bomber in a tie but didn't pull the trigger.  Moblin's trust of Epona made me make the hit that night, I think I went through 3 diffent options before setteling on Epona.

Day 4:  Nothing too remarkable.  Dressed up as cupid and was shooting everyone with arrows *hint*.  Placed the hit on Hestu to somewhat cover my tracks plus he paid for Ravio's vote the day before, turned out good.  This also caused Deku Tree to send me a PM which sounded fishy to me so I pegged him as Mafia.
Day 5:
Suicide Squad established.  I knew about Tree but not sure they knew about me.  Ravio was the go between threating mutual destruction.  Made a pact that no one would save the other from a vote out.



Day 6:
All about the treasure chests.  Ravio clued me into chest 7 but I had no other ideas.  Picked the other 3 randomly.  Revealed the Ocarina which I couldn't let fall into the wrong hands.  The other two ended up duds.  If I lucked into the Fairy I might have taken it to take Ravio out... Maybe...  then this...





Day 7:


No one survives

On second thought I'll just stick with Vote tingle

About 2 hours left in the game.  Not much activity in the thread since this morning. So I take it everyone is in agreement on voting for Tingle?

I'd like to hear from Mipha first...  which is why I took my vote off for now.

Well we certainly don't want any more ties.  Don't know what King of Red Lions is up to but Tingle's votes have been strangely consistant. 

Vote Tingle

Edit: To prevent an early day I'm holding back until we hear from everyone.  We need info if this is wrong.

Vote King of Red Lions I think he may be Majora.

Could be. Or maybe you're just deflecting, Mr. Majora, hmmm?
Seriously, Sugars, I looooove the idea of the Dark Power of the Moon destroying EVERYTHING, but, I just want my one night with Linky Link before I go! So muscle up, survivors, we have to find that Majora!

Pot calling the kettle black much??? 

Where have you been most of the time... not voting in majorities.  Scared of the bomber blowing up in your face, seems like a Majora Mask move to me. 

Vote Cia

Hey Hyrulian Citizens,

Ravizon is looking to add rare collectables to our product offerings.  Do you have a MiiVerse stamp taking up valuable real-estate in your inventory? Turn it in for cold hard Rupees! Come on into your local Ravio Inc Store and trade it in and I'll give you 10 rupees with which you can put towards a Foresword or the popular Quad-Force piece you've had your eye on.

That's cute how they finish each others sentences.

As for the matter at hand.  Seems to me Happy Mask Salesman is hording his masks.  He says he wants to sell them on Ravizon but has yet to post any.  Perhaps he is waiting for the 8th day. 

Vote Happy Mask

Mmmmmmm, even has a li'l of your hair still inside. Smells soooo goooood.

Dear loyal customer Cia,

We are so happy you are enjoying your purchase.  We would appericiate it if you left a review (https://ravizon.herokuapp.com/products/8).  Please consider purchasing other items to fullfill any future dark schemes. Have a Raviotastic day!

Dear RaivOKCupid customers:

We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced with the service.  Unfortunatly Ravio is not available for dates as he is reserved for Premier customers.  However new dates will be given out throughout the day.  We have taken the liberty of assessing a rescheduling fee to your accounts of 24 rupees.  We are sure you will be satisifed with your new dates.  Thanks again for your patience as we try to remove Agitha's bugs from our system.

Have a Ravitastic day.

So Fi's dropping the vote makes me question things again.  I'm just not sure so I'll obstain as I'm fairly sure that the Mafia wouldn't allow one of their votes to be bought but then again why would they vote out someone who's vote they could buy.  It makes no sense!!!

I knew since Day 3 that there was something going on with Fi and how she stayed alive from the members that I contacted at the start of the game. I contacted all the females since us gals have to stick together but really the only players alive from that batch of players is Cia, Fi and Mipha.

Great Fairy, Navi and Epona are gone and I have a feeling that either Cia or Mipha may be next. 

Wait you had girls club without me?  (Cuccos are hens right???)

Please remember that the day ends in about 9 hours and 30 minutes.

Current Vote Tally:

Ravio - 1


Man, the game action is off the charts. And we still have 12 other players who could potentially vote and change this outcome.

You guys are a bunch of chickens.... 

So I'll just say whats on everyones minds.  Vote Hestu
