Tube, if NoLynch would have won it for Scum, why did you try to sway us against it?

Good job. :P

You did well for your first time being scum, Tube. You don't make it to MLaL by playing poorly.

That was pure win flavor-wise :p

If you read the scum chat you will see that I wasn't putting much stock in making it to day two since Yanni was hot on my ass (because of NoLynch, no less XD), but it did turn out to be an interesting turn of events!

This was a great game to design and mod.

I think the scum's downfall was the major lurking but also their almost total disregard for the quicktopic (daychat is always the most powerful scum power!!). The Roleblocker Ninja also should have been RBing the cop each night since it would have led to an easy imopen2 mislynch on day 2, especially since Witch was watching him.

Everyone played well and I'd like to especially thank TubeHunter for deciding not to replace out. He almost pulled off the win towards the end. Special thanks to Murphy and Stardust for replacing in as well. Suga and RedNihilist, two guys who replaced out only to resume their normal posting activity like three days later, well, :stubborn:


Writing the flavor for this game was also a blast. Here's the message imopen got sent when he forgot to
submit a night action:
You sit at home on your ass and don't bother getting up to see if anyone else is in love with Andrew Ryan. Besides, your favorite musical is on and nobody comes between Sander Cohen and his musicals. You wake up regretting you'd done something more but, alas, the time for snooping has passed.

Forgive me but I just hadn't the head to play seriously at that time.
I guess everything is easier for you native english speaker, I've had some troubles that kept me from focusing while not preventing me to access the internet in search of minor distractions.

I'm just glad I wasn't wrong about the Godfather bit haha. I'm pretty happy to see I was swinging in the right direction for CM's master plan as well. I didn't even consider the permanently reducing lynch vote by 1 bit. Regardless, yeah Town! I had lots of fun for my first Mafia game, thanks a bunch to everyone, especially Spam!

Truthfully I kind of sat there thinking during my entire shift at work, "I'm like... 85% sure it's TubeHunter... but I swear to god, if Kaze is stringing me along I am going to freak out." I kind of feel like Kaze was in a similar boat of, "I'm almost positive it's TubeHunter, but it could be WitchHunt. If it really is I'm going to freak out."

Epilogue

Postby Second Harkius » Thu Nov 07, 2013 2:55 am

Eleanor Lamb, Simon Wales, and Sander Cohen stare in silence at the body of the last parasite, a demented Little Sister. Rapture is saved, though the cost is high. Perhaps all great endeavors require great sacrifice. Andrew Ryan would certainly say so. Yet as a new day dawns on Rapture, a day free from socialists, second-handers, and parasites, the splicers realize that their struggle was not in vain. The Great Chain has been pulled in the right direction, away from entitlements and charity, towards a bright future led by self-made men and women. The splicers recall Ryan's words: "Why worship a flag or god, when we can worship that which is best in us, our will to be great?"

What was the motivation of these parasites? The Little Sister wanted revenge for being exploited, though surely the use of cheap labor is part of any successful civilization. Had this little girl pulled herself
up by her bootstraps instead of looking for a handout, she might have made something of herself. Brigid Tenenbaum, another dead parasite, was a brilliant scientist, though she let petty morality cloud her judgement. In trying to foolishly "rectify" her mistakes, she lost sight of her original goals of scientific ingenuity and unchecked ambition.

Jack was the worst parasite of all, a second-hander living in the shadow of his accomplished father. Jack was a moral coward, unable to live on his own terms, determined to leech off of everything his father achieved. He had no concern for facts, ideas, work. He was concerned only with people. He didn’t ask: “Is this true?” He asked: “Is this what others think is true?”

The parasites sought to take, steal, pilfer. Their deeds were spurred on by misguided ideas of altruism and equal distribution of wealth. As a joyous night descends on Rapture, Sander Cohen eloquently describes the situation:

"And isn't that the root of
every despicable action? Not selfishness, but precisely the absence of a self."



Bioshock Mafia is over. Thank you for sharing my game world with me. Join me in a few months for Fictional Villains Mafia, another trip into the conflicted realm of the human psyche.
