FINAL FANTASY MAFIA (GAME OVER)

Full reveal, before we get started. I had the item that allows me to see a user's ability, single use.

Unless this game is wonkos, Kloe is town.
her ability is to stop harmful effects, just like she claimed.

Goddamnit. So I picked the wrong person to protect last night. I also found out that while I can't be night killed by someone, I can be put out of commission by cunning use of items - someone passed me that suspicious package and it does have a detrimental effect, so someone lied about that.

It basically blows up and kills you unless you pass it to someone else. So tonight I will have to pass it to someone else in order to not get blown up (thus removing their power ability for tomorrow night. This means I will not be able to use either of my powers tonight.)


As for suspicions - I'm still onto Kloe because of how sure she was about IF being town. Again, only mafia knows who is town and the fact she was so very sure of his innocence begs the question as to why she knew that so well, especially when he'd flipped once as mafia already.

There might be an ability to change what someone looks like, don't forget. It's actually likely that a power like that exists when one like your own exists as well.

Actually, more disclosure, I have the ability to block ability and item, but gives someone a double lynch power.
Guess we'll see if I was right about who I gave double lynch.

That IF flipped town isn't the final word on whether he was scum or not. He mentioned /nothing/ about changing sides when we got him the first time. My guess is that scum only came up with this plan on the first night. They likely have a disguising item/ability and used it then in order to make IF appear town, and then IF came up with the story about the belt armor swapping him. Now we're even more unsure about the number of remaining scum and it turns suspicion in the complete wrong direction.

Honesty about abilities is not a surefire indicator of town. Lying about your ability would indicate that you are scum, but it doesn't exonerate you. This is why I've been stressing most of the game that verifying abilities isn't useful. It's a decent establishment of trust, though.

Anyway, there are two cases here:

1: IF was scum. In this case, my guess is Kloe was innocent, but it doesn't explain why she was so convinced he was town yesterday. Bad Kloe hunch? Keep in mind scum would've had to use the disguise /before/ Kloe started buckling down her IF defense yesterday. The "oops" in LockeZ's flavor post makes me think this is less likely.

2. IF was innocent. In this case, I can only think Kloe is scum. She was able to be 100% confident that IF was town because /she already knew everyone's alignment/. So when he flipped town, she immediately knew something was up and defended him to look innocent today. This would all be resolved if Kloe can get a convincing explanation for why she believed IF. They were both irrationally supporting each other and I don't get it.

Okay, so that's weird. Yeah I got the ability to double vote, but I didn't get told my power failed or anything. As far as I'm aware it went through just fine - just a separate note was sent saying I got double-vote ability. My main PM just said that I was passed an item during the night (the aforementioned item that belonged to Piano).

Has anyone else been told if their powers failed through your skill?

Also, this means that you weren't protected last night, Dudes, if that is really your power, because you were who I chose to protect. That could have worked out pretty bad, actually (well, it didn't work out well for Blob or Gourd anyway). Imagine if someone attacked me trying to check my power out and it killed me! >.<;

Also, now I'm confused. I'm sure my power says I cannot be targeted unless it hits the other person but maybe it means killing powers only? Ugh, I'm gonna have to ask for clarification because if it means I can get blocked then that's pretty bad news. It makes me not as useful as a protector.

@Liberty: Did the message come from piano? That'd be a red flag, most likely scum trying to prevent you from using protection so as to kill you tonight. It might be worth getting someone with a protect ability to work with you (anonymously before someone calls it, ugh) to keep you protected for the night.

@Dudesoft I think "doctor" was blob, his ability saved people from death, right? Having a roleblocker on scum isn't unusual at all, the idea is to counter town's abilities. I would also be *extremely* careful about using that double vote power tonight and onwards -- if scum has an extra vote there's a chance they can hammer. I'm partially worried about this today, even.

My power failed night 1. I received no message why.

No message from piano, it was from LockeZ. Also, I doubt it was piano sending it - he started with the item meaning he'd have had to send it Night Phase 1 or be exploded. He likely sent it to someone who passed it on to me.

I'm questioning why he didn't mention that he knew of an item with a detrimental effect when we asked about them. Who did you send it to piano?

NM, just looked, yes he does.
