Round 75: Maverick Hunter Mafia

Yoshi wrote:investigated tael and he was missing,so i think he needs to explain why or else i'm hopping onto the tael train.

My role means I can choose to deflect any action targeting me onto a player of my choice. I chose Axel last night, so you probably turned up that you couldn't find me or something because the guy you were really targeting (Axel) was already dead.

ok then.....but i'm watching myself. [vote gourmet]

[vote tael] because an innocent would have tried to prove innocence by now

Please submit any night actions now, while you still can, please.

It's not me, although obviously my word isn't very strong in that regard. Tael seems suspicious, given that he was investigated and came up missing.

[vote Tael]

Ah-ha! Sudden change of vote! [vote tael]
(because i just read everything and I think he is scum now)

and I believe 3 out of 5 votes is Instalynch...

[dusk]

"If noone here can give me more convincing evidence, then we won't be destroying anyone tonight."
"Are you sure, sir?" The Medical Unit inquired, "I know it's not much, but it is very suspicious that I couldn't even find him at all..."
"That's enough.  If noone has anythign better to tell me, you are all dismissed.  That's an order!."
"Belay. That. Order."
[music]
Everyone turned their heads as a familiar face stepped into the room.
"What, TWO COMMANDERS?!"

Everyone was taken aback in shock, unsure of what was transpiring

The Commander to have recently entered the room then yelled out; "So, one of the Next-Gen reploids not only managed to survive... but made it's way into our ranks?  Now I can see why someone would have given out the access codes to let other Mavericks ravage the base, with your "ability" to go Maverick at will!"
"Ha, Nice try... to take my identity and then try to pin me as you?  I was wondering who the third Maverick we detected was, and at least you saved us the trouble of tracking you down."
"We never detected three Mavericks"
"What?!"  The first commander cringed in disbelief
"I was there when the Navigator detected the Maverick signals, and stayed there even after dismissing the rest of you.  She never detected an exact number, and what's more, didn't detect the signals decreasing after we retired the first one!"

All the eyes in the room then turned to the Commander who had just earlier been barking orders at them.

"We only recently even learned that it was because one of our own was infected after returning to the base!  I am the commander of this Hunter unit, so who are you?!"
[music-2]
Everyone glared.  The question was rhetorical, everyone else was present, so there was only one answer to who it could be.  Cornered, the bogus Commander turned to the last option before him.

"I... AM THE FUTURE OF ALL REPLOID KIND!"  He yelled, and dove at those who stood against him.
"No..." The real Commander moved with unprecedented swiftness, and severed the doppelganger's arm and crippled his legs with a single motion.  As he dropped to his knees form his injuries, the Commander leveled his buster with the back of the Maverick's head.
"You... are retired!"

Tael was ahead of his time

Role:

And with a sigh, the Commander turned to his allies
"Operator!  See if you can't get the main computer running enough to double check if there are any more of them.  Everyone else, help her in any way you can!  If we can get in touch with HQ before they send the investigation squad, so much the better!"





[kill Tael]
Roles and awards incomming

Rastel

Role:

Yoshi

Role:

Geno

Role:

Aboi

Role:

Additional note: Scept was the main bastard role, being able to convert one of the people who voted for him to be a Maverick, and not being told about it until after his death.  However, French, Link, and Yoshi had untold conditions, relating to Scepts role if he chose to convert them.  For Link and Yoshi, they would be immune to conversions.  For French, he would have had his win condition changed (From when Town wins to when Mafia wins), but remained third party.

Damn it.

ACTIONS:
NIGHT 1
ZINK protects LINK
TAEL kills and impersonates ZINK
YOSHI investigates STALIN
GENO tracks AXEL
SCEPT infects AXEL (mod rule.  I couldn't get ahold of Scept... but with only one viable option and being so early in the game I figured it better to do so rather than leave Tael all alone.)

NIGHT 2
LINK visits AXEL
YOSHI investigates GENO
TAEL kills STALIN

NIGHT 3
YOSHI investigates ABOI
AXEL kills LINK

NIGHT 4
YOSHI investigates TAEL (Failed, Tael disguised as Zink)
TAEL impersonates RASTEL


AWARDS:
MVP award for turning things around: Yoshi.  Axel basically had a free alibi with lynching Scept so early, but someone decided to lynch him anyway.  He also was the only one to turn in an action for every night.

Least Valuable Player: Cloak.  He had the most powerful role for the Town... had he even asked how many Mafia there were I would have dropped hints at Scept's conversion ability...  He got lynched before he even opened his Role PM.

Least Valuable Ability: Tael and Rastel.  The potential to impersonate anyone could have led to shenanigans, such as a "false positive" if a cop investigated him instead of his intended target.  Instead, Tael stayed disguised as Zink the whole game through, and to top it off was only even targeted for an ability once.

For Rastel, only Tael voted for him before the final round.  His power would have come into play had he and geno not voted for tael, resulting in a 3-way tie.


It SOUNDED like a good idea award:
Me.



I thought that a Maverick Virus that converted someone after death sounded really cool...  but in hindsight the idea is probably really flawed with how few votes it takes to lynch someone around here.

As well, I fear (but am not sure) that I might have put too much information into the story posts.  Everything that happened in the Story posts is based on what happened in the game (Day 1: Axel and Zink (Wolfoid) jumped Scept.  Night 1: Zink (Wolfoid) protected Link (Womanizer), but was killed instead).  However, I'm not sure if that turned out to be why Axel got lynched...  but overall I think I was a horrible host this round with a faulty concept.

Darn.

Also, I would like to say I used this
http://adv-random-gen.sourceforge.net/rand-gen/mafia/

A random role assigner created specifically for Mafia.

10\10. Would (and will) be in Cael's mafia games again.

I was supposed to be fuckin' invincible...
