View Full Version : Bioware Mafia!

Mafia Rules (stolen from… myself!):
This is a mafia game! There are two primary groups the first is the town, an uninformed (don’t know who each other are) majority whose general objective is to eliminate all threats to the town and the second is the mafia, an informed (know who each other are) minority whose general objective is to eliminate all threats to them (the largest being the town.) There may be other groups or individuals with other objectives. Every day phase players may post in this thread and vote to lynch (remove from game) one player in the hopes that it is beneficial to their ultimate objective.
1) You may only post in relevance to this game in this thread when playing the game (unless your role says otherwise.)
2) You may not edit posts in this thread.
3) You may not quote PMs from outside the game (roles or any other kind of PMs)
4) Not everything is what it seems.
5) If a player goes two night consecutive phases without submitting an action they will be replaced.
6) If a player does not participate in 3 consecutive phases (either day/night/day or night/day/night) by posting and/or taking actions they will be replaced by one of the substitute players.
7) There will be occasions for players to receive downloadable content. The first correct response will win the downloadable content. Alternatively, you can donate XBL points to me. ;)
8) The game is open! Feel free to post.
9) Children of players cannot be subjected to lynching.
10) Things might not be what they seem.
11) If you are silenced, you cannot post. If you do, you will be modkilled. Votes for silenced players will still accrue, but will not cause a majority to be reached.
12) There is a possibility for characters to engage in in-character romance in this game. There are benefits to this, which will be explained once the romance achievement has been unlocked. Once the romance achievement has been unlocked, it cannot be unlocked by a different couple later.
…
72) No excuses play, play like a champion.
(Also, I reserve the right to edit the rules as we go so you might want to check them every once in awhile.)

“And so is the Golden City blackened
With each step you take in my Hall.
Marvel at perfection, for it is fleeting,
You have brought Sin to Heaven
And doom upon all the world.”
- Canticle of Threnodies 8:13
Fort Drakon
It was a desperate battle, but the odds were finally starting to turn. Seeing her opening, the Warden lunged forward with her sword, and stabbed the Archdemon in its twisted skull, Starfang biting deep into the tainted Old God. The archdemon roared in agony, then a brilliant light erupted from the wound, consuming the Archdemon and Warden in the divine glow of power…
And when it ended, the Warden was still standing there. Surprised, she looked over at her companion, “What… what happened? Shouldn’t I be, well… dead?”
The companion smiled, “Oh, well, maybe it’s only every OTHER Blight where that happens, hey, let’s cele…” The companion paused, smile fading as he saw the look in the Warden’s eyes. “I… I think we need to talk.”
Denerim, one month after the battle with the Archdemon
“So, you don’t know why exactly the darkspawn haven’t fled yet?”
“No, but there seems to be something else manipulating factors… something we haven’t noticed yet.”
“Well, the Hero of Ferelden could certainly…”
“She’s… unavailable. Off in Orlais, I believe. But something needs to be done to get to the bottom of this.”
High orbit, over an uncharted planet.
“… and so we have an unusual surge of dark energy, which is doubly strange since normally the energies don’t come from planets, only stars. Clearly, there is something unusual going on here. Perhaps a hidden Reaper base?”
“Unlikely. Reapers living ships. Having base on planet seems out of character.”
“Still, the fact that there is this dark energy there… we should send a team to investigate.”
“Yeah, we’ll take a shuttle down.”
Meanwhile…
In the countryside, various portals to the Fade were rent and torn, spirits and living people coming forth from far away, drawn to this place for reasons even they didn’t fully understand. However, the forces behind the darkness smiled knowingly, as their plans were falling perfectly into place…
Malakim2099 is out of the game. He was the Archdemon, who was killed by the Warden.
With 20 players, 11 is a majority.
Day 1 begins now. The day phase will last until Tuesday Noon ET or until a majority is reached.

Oh, Rule #72 is totally about me. When Mal was thinking up the rules, he thought to himself "how can I incorporate Truffle's awesomeness into a rule" and naturally the word Champion came to mind. As a matter of fact, number 72 is my favorite number, so of course it had to be the number of My Rule.
Oh yeah, and Lynch: Rokk_Krinn

Irony is such a challenging thing to read into. My head reels from the absurdity of it. Were I of such a mind, I'd really push the lynch in either direction, but frankly, ugh, too much effort. I'm sure I'd have to get caught up in all the arguing and discussion and I really only have time to focus on how I don't want to do that.

More inclinded to vote for Wade at this point. Wouldn't be the first time KO has stepped into a joke situation all seriousing.
Wade on the other hand puts a fourth vote on Rokk..."for the lolz." Idk. Seems less funny when some people are serious about it doesn't it? More like "I'll innocently place this vote and hope it really puts Rokk closer to lynch."
I don't like either lynch candidate at the moment.

Same here. Doing something with the day phase would mean I'd have to think about things, and, I'm trying no to think about things. Or, at least, I'm trying not to think about things that aren't about how I don't like doing things.
I really don't like doing anything. Such a chore, anything is.

Thank God I'm not the only one who saw this. I'm just trying to be productive instead of putzing around D1. So I figured that I'd add into the pressure. The fact that Rokk tried to deflect it back on me is kinda suspect.
My vote stays for now.
heck seems like a good idea to me. the 'Best Mafia Player' should be able to talk his way out of this. :p lynch: Rokk *breaks out notepad and pencil to take notes to be a better player like rokk. are we at half? where are we at votes? prob enough for a claim.

ok i don't know who that is, looks like sheppard? stupid sound card isn't working currently due to bitdefender. ugh. or are you the alien guy? change vote: KO Bossy
I'm Mordin Solus.
DF - Gee, you said you were just trying to get me to respond to pressure. I responded. So now you should be trying to get others to respond to pressure, if that was your sole reason, right?
"Rokk never gets Day 1 pressure"
"Okay, here's a handful of votes, let's see what materializes."
Rokk: "This is ridiculous, I'm gonna vote for someone else and completely ignore the idea of a pressure vote."
"Hey, that's completely appropriate, let's lynch someone else on Rokk's say so"
"Okay."
Fun :)
This.
At this point I want to get a claim out of Rokk or lynch him, just because the people voting for Rokk and for KO Bossy (ignoring the pressure on Rokk) would be very telling.
I'm Mordin Solus.

*Mordin voice*
Not good. Solus name has dire consequences. Fear that Rokk may have short life expectancy now. Must not reveal more about Mordin. Have to hope that mod gave him ironic role, and not obvious one. Perhaps inventor? No, no, too obvious. Cop? No, doesn't fit at all. Tracker?
Yes, tracker might fit. Salarian espionage expert may be very adept at tracking. Yes, yes, that may fit well. Have to hope that may be the case. Irritability removing that hope, however. Implications, unpleasant.

I actually don't support the whole "get a bunch of claims on day 1". The Vig should be exercising restraint until he has a really good target. Not just a "feeling" target, which is usually what you get from all the day 1 chatter, but a "I'm 80% sure on this one" target. And yes, it helps the mafia. A lot. Only thing it can do for the town is give the doctor, encourager, doubler, etc., a good target. But then everyone is targeting the same person, and that can hinder as well. That's how I feel about the day 1 pressuring. My first vote for this day phase, it wasn't meant to lead to anything. And I think a lot of people knew that, but chose to take advantage.

I'm all for having some day 1 productivity. But, when over half of the player base is against you trying for a day 1 lynch, at some point, you have to recognize it as a bad strategy. It works great if everyone's on board. They're not. They never have been, nor will be. People who try to force the square peg through the round hole, will always be met with frustration, and possibly a lynching of their own.
That is why I don't try for a Day 1 lynch. Having Rokk's role exposed, when there was no possibility of benefit in the end, vexes me. And, to be perfectly honest, I want to hold the people responsible, responsible.

So the only way we can truly start off the game and finding out info is after one night has passed? We all have to look at the write up and have a night to do stuff before we can figure anything out? Personally, that doesn't make sense. I think day one can be potentially productive, but it needs fine tuning.

It's sort of a catchphrase for HK-47 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXvVVCr_6P8), one of the scene-stealingly awesome characters from Knights of the Old Republic. Viewed as a movie instead of a game, Knights of the Old Republic is *way* more enjoyable than the three prequels combined.

There's no rule saying mods have to start their games with a day 1.

Errr search a bit harder. She was in love with a Sith and turned to them because after days of extensive torture. Later on, she redeemed herself. So ultimately, she's a good character.

The Shepard in my game was Renegade Commander Shepard. And yes, he was something of a cross between a Cult Leader and a Mentor. A cross that was not properly balanced, that I'll never do again.
Commander Shepard, whether Paragon or Renegade, would not normally be a bad person. They do things differently, and others either suffer or benefit from their actions, but the guy is still out to kick the Reapers' ###. I would expect him to still be a good guy here. The role, as I used it, was a lenient take on the character, at best.
That being said, he could be here as a recruiting Mason. Though, I think Mal would probably have Duncan here for that role. And in that case, Duncan would possibly be a true cult leader, with a neutral alignment. I'm not certain.

I'm sorry that I didn't realize that what was happening earlier was a joke and I'm sorry that my push caused you to out yourself. But I don't understand why people are so against D1 voting.

Hmm, italicized part sounds familiar. Like, EXACTLY what I was doing. Yet you're still voting for me. Interesting.
Early on, true enough:
I further am with Darq in that I have no idea who that is, so I too will wait for someone more knowledgeable to respond.
But then:
I only signed up for this game to play some mafia. I have really little source knowledge, so I can only go based on people's posting. Claims don't mean much to me.
I don't even know if my own role is "believable" or "for sure here". I just feel secure because I'm town.
A roleclaim means nothing to me, because I've never heard of most of these characters. If you want to out another townie, keep piling the votes on me. I'll claim, though I don't think it would be very beneficial for the town at this point.
Perhaps you're just not choosing the right words. Maybe you're just trying to say you won't recognize the claim. But it seemed pretty obvious, when you refused to look up Rokk's RC, that you had no interest in knowing what it was, and that the RC was meaningless entirely.
I'm just going to claim now to avoid getting lynched while I'm sleeping/in class or getting vig killed tonight. With my recent string of getting night killed in all the games I'm playing in, hopefully I'll get some protecting tonight.
I'm Liara T’Soni from Mass Effect. Hope she's a major enough character that y'all leave me alone, but I'm sure I'll be killed soon now that I've claimed. :disappointed:
Great. So you're not Mafia, just a townie that's going to get the rest of us going in the wrong direction in future days, when someone claims and you don't let up. Terrific. Fantastic. Wonderful. :tired:

So is this basically what D1 voting leads to? People pressure too much, people get pissed off and the rest of the game is spent with a grudge on people's shoulders?
Yes.
This is what I'm trying to tell those of you trying for it. Not everyone understands nor agrees with the merits of a day 1 lynch, nor day 1 pressure. This is always what it is met with, and it hurts the town more often than it helps, because we all end up with miscues, grudges, and tempers flaring.
I find merit in a day 1 lynch, but I will never push for one in an HCR game. Unless a day comes in which everyone else suddenly has a change of heart, I readily suggest to others to do the same. Part of smart Mafia play is understanding the players you're playing with. These guys don't like that.
Day 1, on HCR, serves for giving people an opportunity to subscribe to the thread, and get some basic thoughts out about how the game's gonna go. If it weren't for that, I'd run all my games starting with Night 1.
For people who know, is that character important enough to be a valid RC?

Liara is a romance option for Shepard. She's a good-natured Asari, a blue-skinned alien babe. She's a Prothean Archaeologist, and pretty much the first and foremost in the field. She also has an impressive command of Biotics, which is pretty much Mass Effect's version of Force powers.
After Mass Effect, she hunts down Shepard's corpse, which is being given to the Collectors by the Shadow Broker. She gets his body back, and gives it to Cerberus, since they claim they can bring him back to life. After that, she becomes a highly successful information broker, and hunts for the Shadow Broker, to exact revenge. She gets a bit.....darker, after Mass Effect 1. But is still clearly a good person.

I'm glad she does. Frankly, I found Kaidan to be boring as hell when I played through ME1 with a female Shepard, so I romanced Liara instead. Though I did find it disappointing that she didn't have much other reaction/discussion to my showing up other than the initial smoochery.

Asari's swing both ways. They don't have a gender. They often use female pronouns for each other, and some of their gangs use the term "Sister" for one another, so they are very feminine. But they can be either the man or the woman in a relationship.
Asari culture, however, has a lot of taboos surrounding same-race unions. So there's not a whole lot of that. They find a lot of males (Females too) of other races attracted to them, which is sorta a running joke in Mass Effect (Some think they are making each race view them as sexually appetizing as their own), and so they find a lot of mates in other races.
They don't really have sex the same way others do. There's a lot of telepathy and stuff involved. Still pretty awesome. And Blue. Or Purple. Or Green. :cool:

I'm all for having some day 1 productivity. But, when over half of the player base is against you trying for a day 1 lynch, at some point, you have to recognize it as a bad strategy. It works great if everyone's on board. They're not. They never have been, nor will be. People who try to force the square peg through the round hole, will always be met with frustration, and possibly a lynching of their own.
That is why I don't try for a Day 1 lynch. Having Rokk's role exposed, when there was no possibility of benefit in the end, vexes me.
I agree with every word of this.

Unsure of possibilities with earlier titles, but Jade Empire could yield a slew of them. Including Sun Li the Glorious Strategist (really hoping he's in this one), Death's Hand, and the Emperor. Mass Effect also has a bunch of them. Saren, Harbinger, Sovereign, the Collectors, the Reapers, etc. Dragon Age....well....I never played Dragon Age far enough to know more about the bad guys. I know Loghain's a jerk, and that the Arch-Demon is pretty much a huge dragon demon. That's about it.
Of the possibilities, Death's Hand and Harbinger give me most pause, because the assumed game mechanics for both of them could be a lot to deal with. They would be rather hard to kill properly.

As I said before, my expertise begins and ends with the D&D games (Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights series).
For BG, the main villains are Sarevok, Jon Irenicus, and Bohdi. Possible Bhaal (God of Murder), but he was never directly the bad guy.
For NWN, the main villians are Aribeth (a fallen Paladin), Maugrim, Morag, the King of Shadows, and Amon Jerro.
The problem with limiting it to those characters, though, is that a lot of the NPCs you could pick up in both games were singularly evil.
Edwin Odesserion (human mage), Grimgnaw (dwarf monk), Korgan Bloodaxe (dwarf beserker), and Viconia (drow cleric) are all examples and there are a lot more.
So, I guess it depends on if mal would give out major villian roles or evil npc/party member roles? Or maybe both?

I'm steeped in nerdiness today. Reminiscing about Baldur's Gate and watching the Watchmen movie at the same time. I have to say, I'm rather enjoying watching the blue guy. *blush* :grin:

What did you go through the series as? And who did you like best as party members?
I went through the entire series with the same character, a female human mage. The one person I had to have in my party was Minsc. I had Branwen, Dynaheir, Garrick, Imoen, Jahiera, Khalid, Kivan, Valygar (a favorite).

What did you go through the series as? And who did you like best as party members?
I played the first BG and NWN the most; the second of both series I only fully played through one time because I got distracted by other games.
In BG, I had the most success (read: easiest time) with with a human fighter that dual-classed to a cleric as soon as I had hit level 4 and specialized in a cleric friendly weapon. Now my main could both tank and heal.
Since I typically ran good aligned parties, I usually had Imoen (dual-classed her to mage immediately as theives were largely useless in BG), Minsc and Boo, Dynaheir, and Khalid and Jahiera. If Khalid died (which wasn't uncommon, what with his crappy stats) I picked up Branwen. I somtimes ran it with less than 6 characters (in which case, I'd MAKE Khalid die so I could get Jahiera) just to earn the XP a little faster.
NWN was a ton of fun, but it was almost ridiculously unbalanced for some of the classes. I ran through as a Monk with Tommy Gallows as my NPC to find and disarm traps and once that Monk hits level 4 (where it can start making multiple unarmed attacks with relative ease) it was a slaughter.

Not a problem. The game's been out for nearly a decade, after all. And I highly doubt I'd ever finish it. I don't like the 3.0 system as opposed to 3.5, so I tried playing NWN 2. The problem with both games, is that I like playing "Beguiler" type characters in a D&D setting, and that doesn't work well in a video game. The other main problem was that the camera system was so frustrating that I couldn't put myself through it for long periods of time.

Not Bioware, but since it was already brought up, have you ever tried Planescape: Torment? Depending on how you ran it, it is the closest I have ever found to a sneaky and/or talk-yourself-out-of-situtions kind of game. Combat is certainly necessary at times, but a surprisingly large number of confrontations can be avoided with the right dialog options (and high enough Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma to pull off those options) and you can frequently get better results (in terms of story, XP, and loot) if you try to talk/sneak your way through things.
Planescape:Torment, to this day, remains probably my favorite game EVER (and that is even taking the bugs, of which there were not an inconsiderable amount, into account).

You were stuck in the Hive for quite a while (and all the rundown buildings and piles of trash in the Hive start looking the same after awhile), but once you get out of the Hive and into other parts of Sigil (and then, much later, into Carceri, Avernus, and the Shadow Plane) it really picks up.
And Nameless was pretty drab if you played him like a normal RPG character. I know the first time I played it, during the creation screen, I put a lot into Strength, Dex, and Con, because that's what makes good fighters... duh! everyone knows that. But I realized pretty quickly that my Wisdom and Intelligence were waaaay too low and I restarted. Wisdom, especially, makes this game a lot more fun and opens up a lot more dialog options.

There were a lot of mods that brought that those classes to the game...or maybe that was just NWN (I don't remember looking around for much mod expansions for NWN-2...heck, I still have to buy the Zehir pack for it).
As for Torment, fantastic game, I felt. I loved the way the character designed itself to your playstyle. Even better were the rest of your party - far far from normal characters from most other RPG video games and I, frankly, miss them and think they should be brought back as they'd be a great hit in the modern gaming environment.

You're thinking of NWN. When NWN 2 rolled around, it was such a mess of DRM ###-hattery that it's faltered considerably in community dev.
I think my main problem with NWN has been, and always will be, that it's not D&D, no matter how much of D&D is integrated into it. It lacks the same fun, spunk, and charisma as my own imagination. You don't have those fun "D&D moments" anymore. Like when you fail a jump check off a rooftop, and land in a ladies' washroom. Or when your party member is feeling lazy, and an army of ants picks him up and carries him into battle.
But that can be said of D&D in comparison to any RPG vidya game, I suppose. I think it just becomes more prevalent and annoying when it's actually based on it.[/QUOTE]

True story: We tried getting my friend's brother to play. Well, as is often the case when we try to recruit someone unwilling to play, he's got ADD like you wouldn't believe, and quickly stopped caring after about 5 seconds into the game. When it came to his turn to do something, he pouted, and said, "I'll just lay on the ground."
We all reminded him that, what with him being a female dwarf fighter, we really needed him, and that we were in the middle of a chase. He replied that he didn't care, and that he was going to sit there.
Our DM, who was the most awesome DM I have ever had, and have sorely missed since he moved away, chuckled. "Do a spot check"
He did a spot check.
"You see ants all over you. They are intrigued."
The kid was suddenly interested. "I roll over."
"The ants instantly mold themselves into position, getting out of your way, and then cover you once more. What do you do?"
The kid started to chuckle himself, and said, "Can I control them?"
The rest of us were starting to get bored by this, and didn't understand what was about to happen. I was, honestly, frustrated, and didn't know why we didn't just kick him out of the game, if he was going to act like this. But John's patience won the day.

He rolled a 20, giving himself something like 30+ to his handle animal. I don't remember what it was, but it was stupid.
"The ants will obey your every command. They lift you up off the ground, and wait for your direction."
Then he just pointed after the guys we were chasing, and we all continued. Some of us by horseback, one of us by Orc-back (Damn halflings always wanting a piggy-back ride from me!), and one of us seemingly floating around the road on her back.
He eventually made the character take a level in Druid, just for some sort of justification, but those ants stayed with him for a long time, granting him all sorts of interesting combat and deception opportunities. Such as when he pretended to be dead, yet appeared in different parts of a room when nobody was looking. :laugh:
I miss John. Being able to make something out of a frustrating situation is a quality I lack.

Errr....no. We didn't have a wizard in our party. We lacked arcane abilities altogether, actually. It wasn't until Thawmus died, and I was forced to make Romack the Duskblade, that we had anyone who could cast spells. We had a psionic in the group, but....well, she was a psionic.

With 20 players, 11 is a majority.
The various people found themselves by the ruins of Ostagar, investigating for their own purposes. Angry recriminations and misunderstandings flew about, only to have people realize that perhaps there was some larger purpose...
One of the people sneezed, and another offered him a pill, "Take this. It helps." The person peered at the pill, swallowed it, and smiled, "Thanks!"
Mystery Virus is dead! He was that dreaded No Lynch (Neutral).
Night 1 begins now. You have 24 hours (Wed 12:45pm ET) to turn in your actions. If you get them in sooner I can open the thread before work that day! ;)

New Beginnings
The woman fired rapidly at the horde of mutations… one of the locals called them darkspawn, whatever that meant. Seemed to fit, though, as she mowed a path with her weapon’s fire through the group. So intent she was on firing that she failed to notice a shadowy figure skulking behind her, brandishing a dagger.
The figure lunged, only to find his dagger blocked by a shield, wielded by a man that seemed to come out of nowhere. The new arrival grinned, “Now now, that’s no way to say hello to a lady.” He then bashed the figure in the face with the shield, causing him to stagger and run off. The man turned towards the woman, looking at her rifle, “That is some sort of strange magic, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the like.”
The woman blinked, then laughed, “Well, stick around, stranger, I could use a bit of a hand.”
“T’would be a pleasure, of course.”
Meanwhile, a man staggered around in the evening, easily dispatching what few darkspawn thought he was but a mere drunk. When he came upon the strange metal chariot, he poked around inside, hiccupping as he went. Then he found a rather delightful contraption, glossy black as he looked around, then looked at the button that said, “CAUTION!”
“Well, where’s the fun in that! *hic*” he exclaimed, as he pressed the button. Suddenly, a surge of energy shot out of the contraption, knocking the drunkard flat on his back. The energy impacted a man, clinging to him and attracting all sorts of attention, before he was finally able to escape for the evening.
In the darkness, another figure crept carefully through the woods, glancing back and forth as it furrowed its brows. Suddenly, it froze, unable to move, as it heard an evil cackling. “I’m in the mood for some stew, yes indeed!”
We shall not dwell on what happened afterwards…
HavokAndChaos is dead. He was ????????????
Day 2 begins now. With 19 players, 10 is a majority vote. You have until Thursday 1pm ET to reach majority.

I didn't know you had claimed. Refresh my memory?
I don't like revealing the doctor's character, but that is most likely Alistair, from Dragon Age. The shield bash is kinda a give away, because that's a very common move in the game, and Alistair's the Sword 'n Board type. The smarmy quips are spot-on, as well.
If anything, if someone hints at being Alistair, you should probably back off of that person.
Jackofhearts2005
03/24/2010, 14:04
I have a different opinion. If anyone hints Alistair, they should be lynched and Alistair should just claim someone else if they have to.
The last thing we need to do is make our doctor choose between outting himself and letting a mafia member go free.

Liara uses a gun, but so does everyone in Mass Effect. No, I don't think it was her. She would be tossing Darkspawn all over the place with her Biotics. She's the most powerful one in the ME1 group. And, until ME2, she speaks rather....calmly. Almost as if she is consistently apologetic for everything. The dialogue doesn't fit her, even in ME2.

So is it safe to say that I was likely roleblocked because at least one person on the mafia probably has source knowledge, or did I target someone who was jailkept?
Hmm.
Did anybody else fail?

I'll be honest: It's pretty much between me and JackAssterson on Mass Effect source knowledge, with Mal being the mod, and I have no idea what Liara's role would be. She could be anything, depending on the time period. She could be an information specialist of some sort, making her a clue cop, or she could just be an archaeologist, making her some other information gatherer. Or she could be a doctor, with her biotic abilities. I have no idea. Liara's kinda a Jack-of-all-trades in a lot of respects, because she changes so drastically between the two games.
If someone looked up the character, however, and didn't play the games, they'd read that she knows a lot, and learns a lot, and probably want to roleblock you, thinking you were the cop.
If I made the role, it'd be a tracker, probably. I don't know. I probably wouldn't have her in the game at all. Liara kinda annoys me, with the personality change, so I'm not a big fan of her. Samara is 10 times more awesome. Lady has a psychopathic serial killer for a daughter, so she hunts her all over the universe and kills her without a second thought. Now that's a cool character.

The thing about Bioware games is characters don't tend to have locked in roles -- or even locked in personalities in some cases. You can make generalized assumptions about what, say, you'd do if you were modding the game, but I'd hesitate to point to almost any Bioware character and say, BOOM! PGO! Or some such.

This is true to a certain point, but some are easier than others. Take Shale, for instance. She'd be bulletproof. Really not too much left to the imagination, on what she could be. She's a frickin' Golem, with tank abilities. Mordin Solus....well, if Alistair is any indicator, is going to be just about anything. And I'm thankful for that, because my initial thoughts were the worst. Not entirely sure what the Mafia(s)'s doing, but if they have their heads up their asses, I'm fine with that. Mordin is pretty much my favorite character in Mass Effect, so they can all leave him alone.

Well, I'd agree with this too, but 9/10 times the doctor doesn't lie about their role. :ermm: It's like they feel it's their ultimate trump card, or the, "Now don't you feel like an ###?" card. They play it.
But yeah, lying would be preferable.

Technically I failed last Night but I had made a point to not submit an action so it's moot other than adding to the list of those who failed.
I would figure the Mafia to be connected to either Darkspawn or things of "Darkness" (as, well, frankly, I don't recall a lot of specific named Darkspawn of enough quantity to make a good Mafia.)
Meh.

I shouldn't be surprised that Darkspawn are here, but that makes things easier.
I was going to be more worried, and will be so if it is revealed, if Sovereign was here. Indoctrination opens up the Mafia membership possibilities considerably. :speechles

I agree. You -shouldn't- be surprised. It was part of the role PM that explained how, say, in my case, a guy from the ME-universe was interacting with other Bioware characters: I was asked by Shephard to aid him in investigating dark energy and the new threat known as Darkspawn.
Why didn't your role say anything along those lines to you?

Thawmie, are you Neutral at best?
*Sigh* I was hoping to not have to reveal as such, and certainly not on Day 2.
I'm neutral at worst. And really only in name. I have a very town-aligned win condition, just slightly altered from the usual. Certain conditions have to be met in order for me to win when you do. Otherwise, I just lose. And a mafia win also results in me losing. I've basically just got a frickin' hard role. I'm afraid I won't reveal more about my win condition, other than that my achieving it is going to be beneficial to the town, and in no way can be detrimental to them. I suppose the reason I'm neutral is because I may, in the wrong position, have to prioritize this condition over a better option for the town. And that's up to you to decide if that's worth lynching over or not. Needless to say, I'm all for getting rid of the mafia, and hopefully that's enough for now.
I will say that my role said nothing of the Darkspawn, which leads me to believe that they are either aligned with my true prey, or that there is more than one mafia.
