uPick Mafia Ultimate ⭐ Game over! Did the game contain more than a single legal character by the end of its life cycle? Or is it no items, Hades only?

[Pokechu]

Hmmm. Not sure about that. My Night 1 decision was between Bardull, Maven and Marisa-JTB, who are the only people I ended up visiting all game.
I still don't know what happened the Night where nobody died. I will admit I did not expect someone else to be able to piggyback on my role, though.

You're right on the shame part, though. There's several mislynches that I'd rather not revisit.

Oh

OK

If Mafia hadn't primed Maven, then. What happened on the Night with no kills was me priming, so I could kill Doop and Poyzin at once. The night Maven died is when I primed him, originally Poyzin. If I kept it Poyzin and instead of priming Poyzin later I primed someone else, I think that would have been a mafia win... I think.

 

[BarDulL]

Cheating doesn't pay, Bardull! Behave!

Look, all I have to say is...

나는 한국 여성들을 선호한다.

Vote: Kary

Oh so I killed Maven? Oops. The flavor said he died from the cold. *shrug*

 

[#HBC | Kary]

Goddamnit I could've been a Nort! The Nort to end all Norts!
Also Vult died instead of Bardull? What a bad trade.
Maven's role made him die after losing his coat? LOL
I was immune to cold? EHEHEH huehuehue

Okay I should sleep.

 

[Pokechu]

Oh

I think we killed him together LOL

You primed him first, but I think when Poyzin stole his coat he was unprimed, but then I primed him again, and you ignited him...

Huh

 

[#HBC | Kary]

You primed him first, but I think when Poyzin stole his coat he was unprimed, but then I primed him again, and you ignited him...

But even if neither of us had done anything, he would have died of the cold!! Just from his role!!

oh my lordy

 

[giraffelasergun]

Goddamnit I could've been a Nort! The Nort to end all Norts!

WE would have had so many night kills between the two of us too!

 

[#HBC | Kary]

Okay wait, Poyzin won the game as an indy, but he only became town because JTB killed his thief-ness?

Nabe, I know I said you were a genius, but I feel I should add a disclaimer; perhaps, a dangerous genius? It's always a rollercoaster, it seems.

I think I need a lie down. Oh yes, sleep. haha.

 

[#HBC | Kary]

WE would have had so many night kills between the two of us too!

I still find this post funny:

also while we're beating our richards about roles, it's not weird to anyone else that shish is supposedly a town killing role, when we have a dead, flipped town killing role?

all the role speculation and nobody wants to point that out?

 

[Pokechu]

green room when

green room when?

Or was the night action list a substitute for that?

 

[#HBC | Nabe]

Clothing (and temperature-related fun)

• Shish, Maven and Kary all had coats, which provided secret immunity to Cold
• Poyzin cured Priming by stealing clothes, but kept the clothes, so that would only work once
• As Town, Poyzin could borrow clothes for the Night to protect from Fire, but would then give it back
• Doop, Bard, and Poyzin had no clothes
• Maven would die of Cold as soon as his coat was stolen
• Bard would Ignite any Primed player who targeted him
• Snake could have clothes stolen from him twice, at which point he would become Naked Snake instead of Raiden

Other Secrets?!

• Shish would have directed Moydow's actions
• There was an entire secret game mechanic that was never discovered by anyone
• Related characters: Ryougi Shiki, Evil Eye, Eeyorenort, Naked Snake, Moydoom
• You will literally never know what it was
• I am probably forgetting even more secrets

[#HBC | Nabe]

I would be impressed if you figured out what it's even about, much less how it would have changed the game, which is particularly inscrutable IMO. Maybe in another uPick?

 

[JTB]

What would've happened if I perceived Dooms instead?

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

Oh man, thank you Nabe! Thank you to everybody who played in this game, this was actually an awesome experience! So glad that I got to do this...








So when's the next one?

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

But on an actual note, I find it rather ironic that in the game where there were so many temperature based shenanigans, (NK mech was cold/fire), I chose to be a coat hanger. Which hangs coats. Which keep people warm.

I swear Nabe you are a mastermind; how could you get all the roles to flow so seamlessly, it's incredible.

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

shoutouts to indy wins UtopianPoyzin :brofist:

Hell yeah dude, gg!!

Sorry for accusing you for being scum because I didn't like that you had a good read on me. Eh, it is what it is now.

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

So spoilers, I had no reason to post in Korean outside of my own amusement. I also could have claimed my full role. I just decided to bull**** that as well.

I was posting in Korean only for your amusement. Didn't work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

Snake could have clothes stolen from him twice, at which point he would become Naked Snake instead of Raiden

How? I could not have stolen from the same player twice?

But now I'm thoroughly curious about what Naked Snake(d) would do.

 

[Moydow]

• Shish would have directed Moydow's actions

+ If the rest of the mafia dies, you lose... right?

I wonder, was this related to the "secret game mechanic"? Hmm.

it had five people and involved me, clearly we were meant to be a secret guild of labyrinth explorers charged with mapping our way to uncovering the mystery

 

[Deleted member]

The secret mechanic 100% involved my second personality which I was actually paranoid about thinking there was a SK after me in particular

 

[BarDulL]

The secret mechanic involved Gheb expanding his territory beyond the salt barrens as a naked, arcanine-riding cult leader. Thankfully the game resolved before this could ever happen.

 

[#HBC | Nabe]

What would've happened if I perceived Dooms instead?

Death. Dooms was a PGO that Night. And because you had been Primed, you would have also spontaneously Ignited because of the secret Gheb passive.

After this game has come and gone, there is one final thing that needs to be said...

That's how mafia works.

 

[#HBC | Kary]

Like this post if you want to hear my thoughts about your play.
Otherwise I will just leave it with all the other discarded documents in my folder of mafia salt.

#HBC | Kary I think you should post all your critiques because I think any critique coming from you would be hilarious.

Because I'm a funny guy?
Or because i'm strictly unqualified to be making such comments?

If it's the latter, I will submit the following hypothesis:
Act scummy --> Be very wrong, a lot --> Don't get Night Killed --> Survive to Endgame --> Win --> Post Kpop Videos --> Profit

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

#HBC | Kary Surprised that you think you would be unqualified when you have written some interesting retrospectives from the Green Room/GY.

I should say that, even with how long I have known you, you still seem very cryptic to me. At this point, part of me thinks it might be intentional.

(I tried to write this in Korean (as you do), but the translation kept ending up at "I think you're a nerd")

-----------------------

Also I don't think I could remember anything I have written before without some sort of prompt. I think part of the reason I write these things is so that I don't have to remember them- they don't have to bug me.

(also, turns out that it was just a typo on my part. all these funny squiggles still look the same sometimes)

 

[BarDulL]

In my experience, when Acrostic is being cryptic, he is generally trying to incite drama.

Or hit on you. It’s one or the other. Take your pick.

Aren't we all just cryptic nerds?

You might think that, but you've probably never been witheringly painted to a T in a upick game.

You are a stubborn sponge. You are usually quite the bubbly spirit of Dgames, but sometimes when someone gets you into that 'mode', you huddle up into a pose of no return whatsoever. Taking candy from a baby? Not beneath you in this mood. Stealing votes and applying them to rig an election? Not beneath you in this mood. No sexy times for your partner? Not beneath you in this mood.

Kary Being Mean, a strong independent Kary who don't need no man, wins!

[#HBC | Kary]

It occurs to me now that perhaps I am simply Immune to Acrostic.

Perhaps I should check my role PM for any hints.

 

[BarDulL]

Guess this one is also getting reclassified to the restricted hydra section.

Just kidding, I don’t know yet, I’m at work and I’ll deal with it later.

 

[#HBC | Kary]

Actually, if we're stirring the pot, I could post this part of my review ahead of time:

BarDulL

This next part is strictly meta, but I feel like we used to have cool mods who didn't mess up mafia games while they were ongoing, especially mafia games they were themselves playing in. Now maybe this is just rose tinted thinking, because lord knows this forum has a long history of stupid drama. But in your apparent role as the preeminent and most active mod in dgames, I would hope for a little more tact on your part in moderating what is essentially a chill forum for fun games, particularly when it comes to conflicts between the forum rules and fun games. To put it another way, I don't know what you get up to on other parts of the site, but if i am to consider you to be 'our' mod, I would expect you to lean on our side in these kind of disputes rather than prostrating yourself before the higher-ups because you're a good lapdog. Otherwise the title of 'moderator'; one who moderates, or negotiates disputes, is just misleading- and it should be changed to something like 'Mindless Rules Enforcement Officer'.
