Platinum End Free-for-All-Mafia GAME OVER: The Big Reveal

[Holder of the Heel]

Despite this game being mafia but not-mafia, a lot of the deduction, questioning, and action orchestration that has gone on in our previous games could still work here and have benefits.

It's just that this time, everyone is a Cult Leader.

Game can't be broken if everyone has the broken role, right?

Also, one more thing. I gotta complain about the time priority thing.

It's a good idea in concept, but if people are busy with life or live in different time zones, this can put them in a severe disadvantage for reasons that aren't even in their control.

I agree. It's the same issue I had with things like Dire Thunder, it makes what's supposed to be a Turn-Based RPG into a Real-Time one.

Not unless you "level up", which I just described as being possible. Before it wasn't even possible and no one said anything, before the game started this was known. Now I made it easier to circumvent real-time constraints in unlikely scenarios and that's when I get complaints?

I simply commented on it because it was brought up by someone.
I feel like this game is a good chance for us to learn certain things, being: how to make proper FFAs? How to change the game to make it more unique without turning it into a completely different one? How are we gonna take such an extreme openess to the setup? How, if at all, should time-based inputs be handled? And so on and on.

For the second time the candidates gathered and struggled with the task handed to them.

Why talk to these people?
Why tell them anything about me or what I've done?

The functions of the arrows and wings were discussed more than their duty, and gradually time dwindled and the target for the death sentence became between two choices, and the votes were close. Unfortunately for one, it was not a tie.



"So now it's our turn to leave? Perhaps it is for the best... no, if it is fated, it must be."

The candidate known as Shishoe sighed and looked up, although all he could see is a hard, cold ceiling, but the look in his eyes spoke to him looking beyond. "My spirit is to be taken... To this celestial realm... Heaven. Very well, I shall go."



"Personally I think he should go straight to hell for the sin of that performance!"

"Yet I think the one who understands the others and their plights will be the one destined to win..."

"Not when they are struggling against the very notion of destiny they aren't."

"Enough," surprising the ivory beings, Shishoe stepped forward. "I said I am ready. We don't have the time for these antics."

"Antics?!"

"Yes of course..." his angel flew by and reached out its hands.

Unceremoniously the life was taken out of Shishoe. This time, signs of desensitization were already settling in as the other candidates looked blankly on as the body crumbled to the floor like a puppet's whose strings were cut.

Out from his body rose a shining, red diamond... no, it was a Red Arrow!

SHISHOE WAS POSSESSED BY A RED ARROW!​

It soared in the air, following with it his blessing, which carried a set of Red Arrows and Wings. They flew towards another Candidate and was absorbed into their own rings!

SWAMPASAUR OBTAINED A PAIR OF WINGS AND RED ARROWS.
Shishoe was blessed by a First Rank Angel.
Shishoe is now dead.

DAY 2 HAS ENDED AND NOW NIGHT 2 BEGINS. THIS POST WILL BE LINKED IN THE OP TIMELINE.
NIGHT 2 WILL END IN 24 HOURS AT NOON CST FRIDAY.
Usage of wings and arrows now available in Role PM. Discussion now moved to PMs with players (with host invited).​

Well that’s good to know for the future.

Hey, Swamp, just so you know I'm never trusting you again, *****
Lynch All Swamps is my new moto you dirty backstabber

 

[Swamp Sensei]

To be fair, I was gonna plan our agreement and not go after ya for a while.

I just wanted your vote not to count against me in case you went after me again.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

"Honor the agreement"

Typo. Sorry.

It's okay, I'm gonna use this salt on dinner.
It's a mix of being backstabbed and getting lynched so it'll be delicoous.

If there was ever a demonstration that quiet was not synonymous with peace, it was the second Night among the candidates. Privately they exchanged words, asking each other for their thoughts and feelings, as they might have above ground under different circumstances. Provided that you ignore the topic of who was to be told to offer up their own life to grant each other another day of life, the candidate's still setting their sights on breathing the air of tomorrow as if it was as fresh as the first inhale after a deep dive underwater.

But for one individual, they would not reach the surface of the third Day. An unknown candidate had stalked the suffocating halls of their willing prison not simply for chatter but rather the elimination of a competitor.

This individual found their prey.

​

There was no scream. Their life was snuffed out like a candle as the murderer strolled off as if nothing had happened, leaving the corpse where it fell.

When morning came, the angels were quick to discover its location and called for the candidates' attention. Unlike the bodies from the Days before, this time the sight left a sickening sense of dread in them that shook their vulnerable souls. Not by its appearance, for by all accounts it was the same as before, but this death carried a much different implication.

PRALINE IS DEAD.
HIS BLESSING IS UNKNOWN TO ALL BUT THE ONE WHO TOOK IT.​

"An empty shell... their angel is missing as well. This can only be the work of a White... but why? We had agreed to select our candidates through deduction..."


"God's don't follow rules, they make them. Finally we see signs of initiative!"

As the body was discarded with little comment or sense of formality, the heavy hearts of the candidates who were frozen in place, save for their darting eyes, stalled the start of the next culling.

Someone standing among them right now is intent to kill them. Who would do such a thing? Who could do such a thing? And are they next? They prayed in their hearts until they realized the chilling irony of the gesture.

Eventually an angel reminded them of their deadline along with the stakes at hand. Reluctantly, the candidates steeled their resolve and began their duty.

11 Days of the Competition Remain
10 Candidates​

DAY 3 HAS BEGUN. A LINK TO THIS POST WILL BE ADDED ON THE FIRST PAGE.
24 HOURS REMAIN UNTIL THE NEXT PHASE.
PUBLIC THREAD NOW OPEN, PRIVATE PMS FORBIDDEN. TIME TO VOTE.

The very fact that he has Shishoe's tools can make him a big threat if left unchecked.

Not to mention we don't know who got praline's stuff, nor her class.

My tools are exactly the same as yours.

You didn't think this through.

 

[praline]

Last post but good luck to the one person I had a truce with, you know who you are.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

My tools are exactly the same as yours.

You didn't think this through.

If you're a First Class or higher, Shoe's wings already allow you to commute two nights in a row.

Assuming that whoever hit you the other night is eventually taken out, thus freeing you from the love bug, you'd be much safer than any of us.

Hey.

I didn't try to get Shishoe killed.

Moreover, Praline told me last night that Apollo, Natz and Stoopid were going to try to lynch me today. Apparently she tried to defend me.

And lo and behold.

SHE'S DEAD.

One of you is a murderer.

If you're a First Class or higher, Shoe's wings already allow you to commute two nights in a row.

Eh? I don't think that's how that works.

And if it is, how do you know that?

What did you do last night?

And to seal the deal...

VOTE: APOLLO

I think you're the killer.

Well...

Shishoe is now dead.

Where does it say anything about commuting two nights in a row?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Oh... that's what you meant. Well...

Wing Usage and Duplicate/Extra Pairs - Wings now go on a one Night cooldown after use. However, when a player has multiple pairs of wings, their allowed usage of flights in a row is multiplied by the number of pairs of wings they have. For example, if a player has two sets of wings, they can choose to fly two Nights in a row without penalty.

There ya go

theres zero reason for us to kill praline she hit the back ends just like us, and i find it stupid she'll die trying to defend you

someone killed her, i don't know who and we'll figure that out eventually i still say lynch you for how you didn't even try to uphold the truce you gave shishoe,

 

[Opossum]

Why Shiny in particular?

I'll tell you tonight. It isn't something I want to say openly.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

The one thing that really confuses me is the fact that praline's class came up as "unknown"

Why have that happen for her specifically when the last two people had their class publicly said?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Considering I have reason to believe his red arrow he shot was at me...

I think it was mutual.

Moreover, I was doing in defensively. I wasn't trying to screw Shishoe over.

I'll tell you tonight. It isn't something I want to say openly.

Well okay.

I'll trust ya

Unvote: Apollo

This is our first nightly kill. Maybe that's how they operate.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I think I'll wait before chaning my vote.

I wanna see where this Shiny thing goes first.

 

[Natz~]

we got time to wait patiently so ya

poor parline though hope she gets avenged

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

poor parline though hope she gets avenged

Same here.

And I think I know how...

Moreover, Praline told me last night that Apollo, Natz and Stoopid were going to try to lynch me today. Apparently she tried to defend me.

Did praline tell you who told her that?

 

[Natz~]

Same here.

And I think I know how...

share later if ya can, or if you think it'll mater today when the time is right

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Vote: Praline

Um... Praline's dead...

 

[redfeatherraven]

I'll tell you tonight. It isn't something I want to say openly.

So.

There's no protective abilities save self-preservation. If you have such a power, there is no reason to fear.

If he is a white arrow wielder it is in our best interests to know. If lynched, we will know who his powers transfer to, if any, and may act accordingly. If he perishes in any other fashion, as Praline has demonstrated, we will be chasing shadows.

There is no other reason to pressure a wagon unprovoked...without expecting gain.

Therefore there will be no tonight. You will discuss this now.

Vote: Opossum.

The one thing that really confuses me is the fact that praline's class came up as "unknown"

Why have that happen for her specifically when the last two people had their class publicly said?

Being affected by a Red Arrow doesn't just mean their allegiance is no longer theirs, but also that if they were to die by any means, the one who struck them will receive every angelic tool they had. If this happens by vote in front of all players, it is revealed to whom the blessings go to.​

It's clear why this was worded so specific now. We have witnessed the opposite today. The class must be kept hidden lest we know the tools someone received.

If we do not discover and destroy the White Arrow wielders as quickly as possible, they will be able to eliminate us with abandon, and we'll quickly lose track of their capabilities.

I am a Second Rank. I have no defensive capacity. The mix of Wings and Red Arrow priority from First and Special ranks make it unlikely that I will be able to improve my stature.

Any remaining Second Ranks take very close heed. The vote is our only sword.

Swing it at the neck of anyone who has something to hide.
