Bob Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Pirates Mafia IV - Conclusion It was decided that Murphy Blake was to be thrown overboard. "Arrrre you ready, Mr. Blake?" "Yup!" "See ya!" Murphy Blake was a Traitor. Sometime later, Redbeard and his crew arrived at their final destination, the Enchanted Island, where Redbeard met with their leader, King Kahuna. "We would be delighted to grant you safe haven, Captain Redbeard. The Islanders are here for you." "Arrr, and it be all thanks to my most loyal compatriot..." "You're welcome." Henry said. --- NPCs: Captain Redbeard (NPC) Players (3): Isaac "Dragon" Wallace - Played by Jack Sassy (Loyal Pirate) Noah "The Map" Nelson - Played by JintaiZ (Loyal Pirate) Harper "Sea-Salt" Lawson - Played by Rumble Strike (Loyal Pirate) Overboard (5): Douglas "No Hook" Wembley - Played by Darkdragon (Loyal Pirate) Spencer "Cutlass" Milford - Played By KotZ (Loyal Pirate) Vivian "Viv" Pierce - Played by Kaanere (Loyal Pirate) Kieran "Two Guns" Newport - Played by Tariq j (Traitor) Murphy "Bad-Eye" Blake - Played by Duvors (Traitor) Lots to talk about and discuss!

Rumble Strike Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Yes! Great win guys! Will have more to say later, but thank you for the game Bob.
Jack Sassy Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Well, lads, we made it. This has been the hardest voyage I had in me life so far. Closest that I can think of was sailing on a raft few years back. Yet, all these good folk we lost - Master Wembley, Master Milford, Miss Pierce. It be a shame such events happened but in the end we still are alive and I shall drink to that. Thank you all for such a great experience (once again, I'm sorry @Duvors about your breakdown, that I caused) and thanks to @Bob for such an amazing game, this is my first time playing any Mafia game on Eurobricks, so it was a pleasant experience. Can't wait for the next instalment.
Duvors Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Thank you all for understanding. That was a lovely game and I'm sorry that it ended the way it did.
Bob Posted August 28, 2021 Author Posted August 28, 2021 Big credit to JintaiZ the protector, who got three saves correct, which is why there were no scum night kills. He must be psychic or something.
Rumble Strike Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Oh wow, thank you JintaiZ! We had dismissed that as being unlikely. Bob, are you going to show roles/night actions? I'm guessing there wasn't actually a blocker? It was driving us crazy.
Jack Sassy Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Thank you @JintaiZ! You really did some lucky guessing with those moves.
KotZ Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Wow what a crazy game. JintaiZ, I'm so sorry I was gunning for you all game! I really thought you were scum.

Bob, are you going to show roles/night actions? I'm guessing there wasn't actually a blocker? It was driving us crazy. I'll get it soon. There were only three real night actions this game and a one-shot vig, so it'll be an easy spreadsheet to put together. Most of it I did by head because the investigator died early.

I thought you were scum until I read the "Spencer no!" part, but it was too late to change my vote by then. We were all in the wrong until town numbers started thinning down. Thanks @Bob for hosting! I'll say more later.
Bob Posted August 29, 2021 Author Posted August 29, 2021 An explanation on the night actions. I used IRL mafia rules for the cop and the vigilante. The vigilante had one shot that they could use. If they were lynched, they could also choose to shoot any player as they were going down. However, if they were night killed, their kill is wasted. I gave DD the parity cop which had an extremely long explanation even though the game was meant to be "simple" A basic explanation is that you investigate two different people over two nights and see if their alignment is the "same" or "different". This is why there was "no result" on night one for Noah's alignment. Had DD not been voted off, she would have been able to target another player to compare the result to. If she targeted a member of the town, she'd get the result "the same" since Noah was town. If she targeted a scum, she'd get the result "different". I'd like to include the parity cop again in a future game (maybe Pirates V), it's a shame that I couldn't see the outcome.
Rumble Strike Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Ha the scum hated me and I was just a vanilla Townie
Bob Posted August 29, 2021 Author Posted August 29, 2021 I think this is one of the most balanced games I've hosted when it comes to night actions, but maybe I'm wrong. Are there any thoughts on it? Do you think one side was more powerful than the other? I think the scum were severely hampered by the doctor/medic getting three correct saves, but other than that it was an incredibly close game.
Rumble Strike Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 It was the cumulative effect of the protection that was throwing us all off I think. Great job to JintaiZ, it really blunted the Scum. But it relies on both the doc and the killer targeting the same person, in a small game like this, that was more likely to happen? But as I said to Jack and JintaiZ in PM, if we had lynched a Townie day one, the Vig killed a Townie and the Scum killed one, we could have lost almost half the players in one go and it would have been easy for the Scum to get parity maybe even the next day with a poor lynch.
Tariq j Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Thanks for the brilliant game Bob. And Congratulations to the town for their win! Really good job JintaiZ, we really thought there was a blocker who was on to us.

Fantastic job for blending in so well, I couldn't tell you were scum until Vivian was about to be lynched! 1 hour ago, Bob said: maybe Pirates V Sign me up!
Rumble Strike Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Yes to be fair it wasn't until right near the end that we really twigged who the Scum were. Tariq and Duvors did a great job blending in and watching us lynch Townie after Townie! Even with 4 of us left and proof that Duvors must be the last one, it was only that method of elimination and not really anything specific. I couldn't find a smoking gun in the vote analysis!
Kaanere Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) Whoah, I was way off with my theory... Congrats to @JintaiZ for having much better predictive powers than mine! Edited August 30, 2021 by Kaanere

I'm so sorry for voting for you, you were the only one who truly understood me on day one. After a scum placed a vote on me for no real reasons everyone else just followed the bandwagon. 1 minute ago, Kaanere said: Whoah, I was way off with my theory... I thought you may have been scum teammates with Milford, so my theory was off as well.

Bob Posted August 31, 2021 Author Posted August 31, 2021 I'd have to figure out how to script and story the next one.

Well done @JintaiZ on your savvy picks as protector. Was surprised it was you since you came across as scummy all game. Just goes to show I need to dial my scumdar in again.

Rumble Strike Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 That was my first Mafia game since The Pearl, which was also run by Bob, probably about 9 years ago Was lovely to see some old faces still, and the new guys played well. All in all, a nice few weeks, thanks everyone.
