Alaris

People are NOT and will NEVER in this game be allowed to vote in private chats. All the votes will always be public, in this very same thread. It is stated in the Opening Post.

A tie would also result in nobody being lynched.

That is for you to discover...

CLARIFICATION Since we feel that some things are not being fully understood, we'd like to provide some additional remarks: 1. There is 1 Town faction and 1 Mafia faction. 2. Each night you can either (a) abstain from doing anything, (b) visit somebody without doing any night action, (c) visit somebody performing your night action, if you have one. Additionally, you can create the chat(s), which don't count as visits. Plant roles cannot visit (or perform the mafia kill) in normal conditions. 3. Herbivorous role descriptions say that they need to consume plants to survive. That doesn't mean that they have to kill players with plant roles. It means that when all the players with plant roles die, famine will begin. Plant role descriptions say that they can survive on the energy of the sun. This means that they won't suffer famine, very much like the bacteria and archaea roles.

DAY 1 - THE PROTEROZOIC Life had appeared many million years ago, but it was now that the first cells engaged in a fierce competition for survival. Although you were 19 cells in a same pond, you were quite the varied bunch. However, something was off this morning. In a corner of the pond you saw floating bits of a cellulosic cell wall and, as you went closer to investigate, you discovered that andracass' organelles were scattered all over the place, and her nucleus was ripped open by some kind of toxin. Seconds later, you also found a lysosome full of deadly enzymes which was ready for action, so you could deduce she was part of the mafia. All this turmoil had initially prevented you from noticing another pondmate who was acting odd... Lord Drakyle was encysted and did not look threatening at all, but he had been silent for too long. When you approached him, you discovered than he had been opened a massive hole and his nucleoid had been taken off. Lord Drakyle was also found dead, and all evidence made it clear he was town. andracass was killed! She was a Plant Cell aligned with the Mafia! Lord Drakyle was killed! He was a Pathogenic Bacteria aligned with the Town! You now have 60 hours to discuss here (this day will be excepcionally longer because of Christmas). Since it is the first day, you may abstain from voting if you wish. Anyway, the most voted person will be lynched at the end of the day. The format of the votes is: [Eliminate] Player name and [Unvote] Player name. Please remember that it won't count unless they're in bold. You must post at least twice in this thread. You can also use the private chats you created last night. Player list: 01.- L'Belle 02.- DigitalAmber 03.- Alistair 04.- Lord Drakyle [Pathogenic Bacteria, Town - Killed Night 0] 05.- andracass [Plant Cell, Mafia - Killed Night 0] 06.- Jace Stormkirk 07.- Archeric 08.- Hooky (Bean) 09.- LykosHand 10.- Seal 11.- CrimsonDragon21 12.- purplecicada 13.- Bok Choi 14.- Newt 15.- Jaeger 16.- Nano4 17.- Caimie 18.- IkeSmasher_xX 19.- Astra125

NIGHT 0 Now you have 24 hours to send Lía and me your actions through your discord private channel. Remember, you can use the ability to create chats 3 times, or save it for later. You cannot post in this thread until Day 1 begins. Player list: 01.- L'Belle 02.- DigitalAmber 03.- Alistair 04.- Lord Drakyle 05.- andracass 06.- Jace Stormkirk 07.- Archeric 08.- Hooky (Bean) 09.- LykosHand 10.- Seal 11.- CrimsonDragon21 12.- purplecicada 13.- Bok Choi 14.- Newt 15.- Jaeger 16.- Nano4 17.- Caimie 18.- IkeSmasher_xX 19.- Astra125

The game will start shortly. If anyone else wishes to play, please sign up, don't miss the chance!

GUILTY! YOU'RE ALL GUILTY!!!!

It's true that Amine's comment said nothing relevant... I also thought that but tbh I think I remember this kind of comments from him early in other games and he was town... that's why I didn't give it much thought. But it's worth keeping an eye on it as well I guess. Seal... yeah I guess you're right, I have no direct leads pointing at you. But the fact that several people voted for Amber after my voting you makes me feel I made the right choice.

Hi there! I'm Alaris, and along with Walpurgis, we're gonna be hosting this Evolution Mafia! We hope you have a great time playing it! But first off, what is Mafia? General Rules What is this game about? What makes it special? Tl;dr (and other vital info!) Once you sign in, you will receive a link to access the Discord server. There, we will ask you to choose a number among 1, 2, 3 or 4. This will determine the role with which you'll start this game. We would like to have 20 players. We are well aware that it's a difficult goal given that this club just revived so, if we don't get enough people to play, we'll make the changes needed to re-balance the game. Player list: 01.- L'Belle [Nautile, Mafia - Killed Night 3] 02.- DigitalAmber [Pikaia Fish, Town - Killed Night 2] 03.- Alistair [Pathogenic Bacteria, Mastermind - Lynched Day 4] 04.- Lord Drakyle [Pathogenic Bacteria, Town - Killed Night 0] 05.- andracass [Plant Cell, Mafia - Killed Night 0] 06.- Jace Stormkirk 07.- Archeric [Arborescent Fern, Mafia - Lynched Day 3] 08.- Hooky (Bean) 09.- LykosHand [Animal Cell, Town - Killed Night 1] 10.- Seal 11.- CrimsonDragon21 [Animal Cell, Town - Killed Night 1] 12.- purplecicada [Mayfly, Town - Modkilled Day 4] 13.- Bok Choi [Fern, Mafia - Lynched Day 5] 14.- Newt [Pathogenic Bacteria, Town - Killed Night 2] 15.- Jaeger [Animal Cell, Town - Resigned Night 1] 16.- Nano4 [Extremophile Archaea, Town - Lynched Day 2] 17.- Caimie [Dunkleosteus Fish, Mafia - Killed Night 3] 18.- IkeSmasher_xX [Sea Scorpion, Town - Killed Night 4] 19.- Astra125

Also, I don't think there's a granny role at all. Think about Jace's role (let's suppose he's not lying about it): he visits random people, so he could die like that, just out of bad luck? I think it's rather unlikely...

I understood that he didn't know which item he gave away, so its being the bomb was a mere hypothesis. I agree though, that if somebody did indeed receive a bomb and it exploded, the best course of action would be to tell everybody. But, as I said, odds are that the item Jace gave away might have never been a bomb after all... I said the traitor thing assuming that the templars only had the ability to share the chat, not to perform a kill. But who knows... every time we have a court there's a traitor in it and it doesn't necessarily break the game. I'll risk it then, even if it's more like a pressure vote than an actual vote: [Eliminate] Seal Anything to say?

Thanks for the info! I don't understand the reasoning behind your last statement. Who is "that player"? The person killed by the mafia? --- On another note, I won't start a BW over this, but I'll just put forward a little something to bear in mind: The apparently casual comment of Amber saying that he can be recruited cannot simply be ignored. He might probably be town now, but if there's any night with zero kills, I say we lynch Amber in the following day.

mmmmm I haven't played FF X-2, XI, XIII-3, XIV or XV, so I can't judge them. I never quite liked the combat system, though... in I to III and X, there was too much time to think, so at the end, the battles were rather easy if the enemy was not too OP. The turn-based combats but with time between turns, like from IV to IX, was quite stressful to me, but it was a good solution to make things more 'dynamical' while controlling several characters at a time. I definitely don't like the gambit system of XII, and I like the combat mode of XIII and XIII-2 even less. From what I've seen, for me the combat system of XV should be the best one, but maybe they just didn't exploit it correctly (as I said, I haven't played the game, but people don't seem too happy with it...). I'd like a Kingdom Hearts-like combat combined with stealth missions like Assassin's Creed or Uncharted. Then, story... for me, the best ones were VIII, VII, X, IX and VI. The worst, I, II, XII and XV. Imo, the most important thing are plot-twists, but the kind of plot-twists that you don't see coming the first time you play the game but are extremely evident when you replay it (it's true that in VIII there wasn't a great plot-twist, but I liked it for other reasons). I'd say something like the plot-twists in the 2nd and 3rd Professor Layton games, but less far-fetched. Or something like Baten Kaitos... a great plot-twist in an altogether forgettable story. So... what would I like in a new game? I think hitherto no FF has represented exactly a dystopian world with all the population being monitorised... so it'd be cool maybe having that and protagonists on each faction, being able to decide how you want to tackle the conflict: either you collaborate or one of the factions tries to destroy the other from the inside. That would be reeeally cool to see. So for example, you control both factions, so if you make the decision to obliterate the other, then when you control them you must face a super-OP boss that wipes the floor with you. And of course, this way you'd think you have control over the development of the plot, but then a plot-twist would make you see that you didn't have that much power over the situation and you're just a pawn in a bigger plan... Idk, it's just an idea. I'd definitely pay for a game like this.

Hm You mean you visited one of them?

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with those characters because I just played the first game. Anyway, this is not what I meant. That person should have knowledge on the role names, not on the player holding that role. Imagine a town-sided watcher with an ability to target roles instead of players. So, for example, you watch Von Karma supposing he's mafia, and you see that Wright visited him. This wouldn't break the game, because you wouldn't know who's who anyway... Not even whether they're 100% mafia or not, or what actions they carried out.

Scratch the "good point" part. Alistair could visit, because he sent messages. Based on the explanation of the dead roles (sort of reading between the lines), it seems that some roles may have to target other roles instead of players. If that is so, there is somebody (or maybe more than one) with knowledge on all the in-game role names.

Good point. It's just a hunch, but if the Templars are policemen, there might be a traitor among them (i.e., Damon Gant).

By "characters", do you mean roles or players?

... huh Well, let's get to work. Did somebody receive a message from the penguin? Maybe Alistair was able to send it before he was killed... since the person receiving it won't necessarily become a target, I'd suggest them to share it here with everybody, unless it reveals any information that may make town vulnerable. Also... two kills. One is probably from the mafia but... what about the other?

Iiiiiiiiiinnnnnn!!!!!!

So a week has gone by since the last comment... that means that under normal conditions, about 5-6 people would be dead by now. Don't you think that stopping the game to avoid modkilling one character is quite counterproductive at this point? Can't we just pretend that Alistair was lynched? Because he could even be mafia (which is what I suspect, cause unless he had an interesting role, I don't think the game would have been stopped for so long...). What do you think?

Second post: [Eliminate] Amber

I'm not sure I understand it either. I'd say yes, Amine died. When I saw I had been pinged I thought it was me who had been murdered tonight... whew
