Dating Game Mafia - GAME OVER!

[Courk]

Logain was bachelor #1. He had short-term memory loss, but was an investigator. He knew that he would never remember his results, so he decided to whisper them through the wall to the bachelorette (he was closest to her, after all).

Vegt/Mgm2 were the bachelorette. No number, but heard a whisper every night.

Leonidas/MattV (#2), Chuck (#7), and Neo (#13) were the mafia. They were the only prime numbers in the game - and of course #2, being the only even prime number, was the GF. The mafia killed with guns.

mudbuck and Madmax (77 and 22) were the only 2 true cops. They also were the only players with repeating numbers.

sweetwater and Mgm were 42 and 84 respectively (docs). Of course #42 had some sort of special power, and 84 is twice the number 42 is...

Nanook/jadesmar2/mudbuck3 were the vigilante (#14). They were really a network executive in disguise. In a game of 100 people, I think someone would need to keep an eye on thinsg from the inside. I couldn't think of any way a network exec. would kill someone, so I just went with good ol' electrocution. The vigilante had unlimited kills.

Referee (#100, SK), as you know, was upset at being the farthest from the bachelorette, so he decided to kill his way to her heart.

Vinny/mudbuck2 were the conspirator (cult recruiter, #30). The plan was to form an alliance with a majority of the players and basically have a time-share with the bachelorette. Little did the cult know, their chances of successfully recruiting were only 75%, and they could ONLY recruit townies. Any other attempts automatically failed.

KH/DP/Jedo2 were the number-less host. They were a corrupt host, though, and thusly a traitor. Out of the three mafia, they only knew the names of 2. However, the mafia also had the ability to try and recruit the traitor in lieu of killing. They could try this 3 times. If the traitor was not targetted, nothing happened. On Day 3, DP said that it, if he could, he would want to switch sides. The mafia picked up on this and recruited him Night 4.

Everyone else was a townie:
Porro - 8
Capt. Canada - 10
ralphm - 63
Jedo - 18 (and a cult recruit)
IS - 36 (and a cult recruit)
Mackay - 54
jadesmar - 72
crackerjack/referee/ralphm2 - 60

Questions for the players:

1. Where did you keep coming up with 3.5 investigators?
2. What could I have done to make the vast number of replacements less confusing?
3. Did you find the "Day X starts on Y" helpful at all?
4. Were there any other problems that I didn't address?
5. Any suggestions for future games?

Thanks to everyone who replaced, or at least volunteered to! Despite the confusion it caused, I really do think the game would have been worse off with massive mod-kills.

Neo: Killing Mgm was a mistake. And even if DP had made a good claim, you only claimed townie. I would have advocated lynching you, then having mudbuck / DP kill each other.

[MatthewV]

2. What could I have done to make the vast number of replacements less confusing?
--this killed me. I don't know.
3. Did you find the "Day X starts on Y" helpful at all?
--yes

I would have claimed an "even doctor" who could heal on even nights only. I would have said that it was known there was a Full doctor, and two Half doctors (one was odd nights only). But mgm, a dead doctor replacement, would have busted me. Bah. I had been working with that role in mind since I was replaced.

[MatthewV]

Neo: good job on killing Mackay. She was 100% scum. :D

[Mgm]

Yah! Go Town. Glad I gave my info in time...
What was DP's claim plan?

[Mackay]

w00t!

I'm glad it was me that died... it was my bad call that caused there to be a killing last night at all, I was sure I'd indirectly killed mudbuck, and when I saw that the game was over, I was all ready to apologise to him for his third and unnecessary death.

Still, bah @ not making it to the end Not surprising that Neo went for me, I suppose!

Re: Courky's questions - I don't really have any suggestions. You handled the replacements well, and it wasn't your fault in any case. I found the
day X starts on Y' extremely helpful, it helped me go back and quickly look at the kills, and the circumstances aurrounding them.

Did the cult try to recruit me, and was there anything to the numbers in the cult, or just coincidence?

Once again, w00t! Go town

[Neo]

I shouldn't have even needed to claim. Damn it Matt

And I killed mackay because a) she was the only other remaining original player and b) she was the only female, meaning neither of the males got a happy ending

The cult thing was entirely by chance. (Jadesmar was #72 and died as a townie). Any of the numbers 8, 10, 63, 18, 36, 54, 72, and 60 could have been recruited as cultists.

Before Vinny/mudbuck2 died, the cult's targets were IS, Jedo, no target, and Veg/Mgm2. Since Veg/Mgm2 weren't a plain townie, they couldn't be recruited.

[ralphmerridew]

Was ref limited to killing on alternate nights, or did he just miss a bunch of choices?

[Courk]

He just kept missing a bunch of choices.

[Jedo the Jedi]

As DP's replacement, I was told that I should claim one-shot vig. Well, when I got around to claiming, I had completely forgotten about that. Apparently, if I had claimed that, it would have saved me from a lynch, but I botched it and lost it for the mafia.

[ralphmerridew]

It wouldn't have saved you. mudbuck had killed twice. Also, even if you'd made that claim, we would have just lynched Neo, and then mudbuck would kill you.
