    Ive decided to end the game now because of so much inactivity.

    I'm so sorry guys, but there is no point in me wasting my time if there are only a couple of people actually care.

    well becuase no one wins ill do a few honorable mentions for some of the alive players.

    IFM: to my knowledge he managed to spread lies throughout the game. He quickly aligned himself with Django and Master12345 and we able to get other users on his side by lying. Including Lumi Glacio and Chinchou.

    [/HIDE]

    Master12345: Similar, master quickly aligned himself with IFM and was able to kill off many important roles, and gather alot of info.

    [/HIDE]

    Lumi Glacio: plagued by an inactive partner Lumi's imfo began to seem to her like nothing. Even so she managed to immerse herself in the game and make some game changing decisions.

    [/HIDE]

    Chinchou: Keen on discussion in the channel, chinchou did try to keep the game alive, and did things like posting fake PMs to divert killed to him etc.

    [/HIDE]

    SteelEdges: Tried to get the town in order, but died before he could have.

    Hobbes2, Yuki Nagato: Always got night PM's in, thanks for being active.

    [/HIDE]

    Marmoteo: tbh i kinda fucked up here. i had no plans for the regeneration role, and kinda just did this on impulse. you role was really random and i apologise lol.

    [/HIDE]

    Dishonorable Mention: Karppu - inactive the whole game, never posted in the thread, got his action in once.

    [/HIDE]

    I'm going to say Master12345 and IFM win this because they outsmarted all the other players and most likely would have killed everyone off by the end, due to disorganised town.

    First off I'd like to thank Vintage Books for hosting this mafia, and secondly I'd like to thank a lot of people for being in active making this easier to pull off.

    I'll walk you through all my days so you can get a better understanding of what I did to win this game (finally all my plotting and backstabbing worked :D)

    Night 0: I don't do anything since I decide to just wait it out, and see the first moves of everyone.

    Day 1: We have the whole lynching fiasco with the Dalek's and the villager, so I decide to align myself with whoever is able to come out of that. Either the mafia factions or the good factions. At this point I also get in contact with Django and learn his partner Master12345 and I contact Water. and get in contact with the Dalek's. I also begin my quest to find the third mafia faction so I don't get involved in a night kill.

    Night 1: I believe this is the night where the silence end up trying to kill me, but luckily Django saves my ass and kills their killer before he can kill me. I also learn that angels have highest priority.

    Day 2: Lynch Chaospenguin, he is a bad boy

    Night 2: By now I know a good portion of the players, either through claims, dalek inspector, or angel checks. As a result I can correctly target and take out a few key members of the village.

    Day 3: Over the night time I receive 100% confirmation that Luck is Silence, and since he isn't cooperating, doesn't have a night kill, and has an ability that could skrew with my efforts I plant the pastebin implicating him with Django and leak it to Lumi, who I then advise to post it in the thread saying that "She found it on Pastebin".

    Night 3: Night 3 we make some more progress as I have master take out the mayor and have the dalek's take a shot in the dark on one of the unconfirmed villagers, who just so happens to be the doctor. Unfortunately we weren't able to get him soon enough to save the inspector.

    Day 4: I'm able to use mass suspicion of professor cake to get her lynched off.

    Night 4: Able to hit two more power roles, heavily shifting lynch numbers towards Dalek's.

    Day 5: Nobody is doing anything and we don't need a lynch so let it sit.

    Night 5: Was going to have Master kill Karppi but never saw him online and then had the Dalek's kill Steeledge.

    Day 6 Plan: Lynch Master12345, then Dalek's have lynch control with Me, Marmoteo, Yuki, Hobbes, and Not Mafia(who was Dalek mayor so +3), as well as the only night kill and the ability to confuse the kidnapper, effectively ending the game. So the real winners should be the Dalek's+IFM and Marmoteo.

    It's shame this fizzled out but thanks for the days we did play, I was Dalek mayor so just had to sit back really.

    To add to their congratulations IFM and Yuki were very good behind the scenes with plots in PMs and what not.

    I'd like to thank Vintage Books and Lamperi for hosting this, I know i flaked out near the end but the first day was really fun and interesting~

    LONG POST OF POST-GAME THOUGHTS

    Game Comments
    For what it's worth, I was only a villager/vanilla townie...

    In retrospect, it should have been REALLY OBVIOUS that Oak was sided with the Doctor day 1...
    Yeah... hindsight is 20/20

    I hope I'm not the only one who found it amusing that Dalek Jast's role PM was genuine.

    There really wasn't anything to do for the rest of the game... even when i was silenced day 2, the lynch was stupidly obvious and after that nobody town-sided had any information so...

    It didn't help that 50% of the players had bandwagon votes as their only posts in thread and never did anything else... and that every vote (and day, for that matter) was really uninteresting except the first. (although the first day was really interesting, lol)

    Greenwater10 complaining about activity when all he posted was two bandwagon votes is amusing.

    Also in retrospect, shorter days (read: 24 hours) might have been better, so this wouldn't have dragged on so long.
    [/HIDE]

    Setup Comments (might be inaccurate, idk what the whole setup is, also hindsight is 20/20)
    (tl;dr: town needed more power, inspects shouldn't give role PMs, daleks were really OP, and a smaller game would have been much better)
    Town only having one inspector and no other tracking roles (afaik) while most mafia start knowing all of their teammates (which is already a massive leap in information compared to town) and then also getting more investigative roles and interference roles (especially interference roles, seriously) than town was really unbalanced, so it's not surprising that town ended up not being able to do anything....

    Inspects giving role PMs just added to the problem, since giving role PMs gives town minimal benefits while making mafia inspects ridiculously powerful (town really only cares about alignment, while mafia getting role PMs makes it infinitely easier to claim and force a mislynch, and it makes counterclaiming incredibly awkward). IMO, a better alternative would be to just give alignment and role name, that gives mafia enough information to try and piece together what the role does already.

    It's not surprising that Daleks won, considering there's like six of them; having that much information at the start, of course you can outplay everyone else, who are completely in the dark... starting by knowing ~25% of people's alignments already and then getting an inspect each night on top of that is just incredibly powerful, especially considering you're allied with 5 other people who you know are sided with you. Honestly, Daleks would probably be favoured to win even if they didn't have a nightkill, so yeah...

    I feel that this could have been balanced a lot better; when it's literally impossible to claim a role because inspects give role pms, there's no way for town to organize because mafia have genuine role pms that they could use to claim with, and when private communication is allowed between everyone that's just asking for all of the mafia and third-parties to collude. When 6/26 people (read: more than one fifth of the game) is allied with each other, have perfect information on who they are, and almost all have powers other than their night-kill, of course they're going to be ridiculously favoured to win.

    I think that for the first forum mafia game that's been run in forever, a smaller game would have been a lot easier to balance and play. It's much easier to keep track of a game with 13 people and 1 mafia team + third party or 2 mafia teams than a game with 26 people, 3 mafia teams, and 2 third-parties, and from what i can tell a lot of the people playing (including me) weren't really experienced with forum mafia.[/HIDE]

    I'm sorry for flaking near the end, but there really was no point in playing when town had no way of finding mafia and there was literally nothing to do. When the only way town has of finding mafia in a 26 player game is a single role that dies day one, it's honestly just really impossible to play, and to be really honest the game was over once the night 1 thread was posted.

    Congrats to IFM and the Daleks for their victory, day 1 was by far the best part of this game~

    @Nicehat - as this was the first game ive hosted, there were obviously going to be mistakes. hopefully i will host another one in the future sometime, and ill be able to learn from the mistakes Ive made. Also now that everyone in this game has played, there are now people with experience in future games.

    At least I /tried/ to stay active...and got lynched for it...

    Can I host one? Maybe not the next one, because I didn't sort roles yet because I didn't realise this would end so early, but at some point?

    I'm disappointed I didn't make the list of IFM's victims.

    Good game, all. Except the whole inactivity thing, that's not so good.
