Evil Dead Mafia II - Teaser and Sign-Ups [Game On!]

[Normal_Phase]

From sachertorte in the spoiled thread, regarding my investigations:

She should also have evidence of more recent murderer codes (probably special ed, but she doesn’t know that).

Actually I did. (Well, I didn’t, but you know.) The one night I considered asking about a kill and could have turned up Ed’s information was the night I wound up trying to confirm Mahaloth instead. That also happened to be the night that Ed was killed. Once he turned up as Strongman I reasoned that, regardless what kind of Strongman he was, he’d have been doing the scum kills, hence there was nothing to be learned from asking about those.

Then there was Tom’s claim, and Hal’s, that same day, which left me only one kill unaccounted for (as far as I knew, not realizing that Ed himself was a double attack), which was Omi’s.

Getting my extra kill was rahter difficult.

Which is why the 2 outed Scum voted for everyone as they were on the way to be lynched.

I needed unique votes, and it hid that there were voting for me.

[Normal_Phase]

Yes. That is correct. Killing McGinty is the correct scum move.

Which is in fact why I did not choose to try to confirm him (on the last night) and went for Hal instead.

I have some comments on my role (which was really interesting) that I’ll put in the spoiled thread when I have a moment.

He gestures toward the woodchipper. Impossibly, it has begun to grow. Rudimentary legs emerge from its bottom. The fearsome blades stored within part, forming the ends of something approximating arms. Slowly, the woodchipper rises to its “feet,” groaning and steaming, its armored form covered in the blood and gore of a dozen dead men, women, demons, and aliens. It bellows. And then, at its top, we see – Hoopy Frood’s head, grisly beyond description but still essentially intact. It speaks in a voice that is simultaneously profoundly deep and horribly shrill.

HOOPY FROOD
Now we will be avenged! So long, and thanks for all the DEAD BODIES!!!

NANOOK
There, you see? You have unwittingly completed the sacrificial ritual that transforms the woodchipper into a giant demonic mecha of doom with Hoopy’s –

Woohoo! Thanks Storyteller for the game and awesome color!

Big sorry to NAF - if I had just send my action for Night 4 (would have been protecting NAF + Drain Bead) you wouldn’t have died.

Big thanks to Guiri/Tom Scud for making this win a breeze! The game was a bit lopsided to town as discussed in the spoiled thread. The way Hal Briston + Tom Scud identified the killers doomed Cookies with Normal’s free form investigation and McGinty and me able to protect her.

So what happened Night 6? Did I guess right or didn’t scum kill at all?

One and Only Wanderers: was that ‘epic read’ comment to Tom Scud on purpose or just coincidence?

[Normal_Phase]

@ Ed – neato! I haven’t read the roles yet.

[Normal_Phase]

Natlaw – you guessed right. Though as it turned out, since McGinty also targeted me, the effect was to gain my life at the cost of Nanook not dying.

How many talismans did you have?

[Tom_Scud]

Oh, by the way, I lied about what the Dread Curse and Dread Magnetism did; they were both vote-affecting powers and I figured on the off chance you left me alive, I needed a couple suprises for the late game.

[Natlaw]

@Normal_Phase

Natlaw – you guessed right. Though as it turned out, since McGinty also targeted me, the effect was to gain my life at the cost of Nanook not dying.

No, that was Night Five where I protected Stanislaus and you. Night Six no-one died either right? So I guessed** brewha** right then?

I had five talismans plus the one from being runner up. So I didn’t have any left for last Night.

@Tom: did you choose to curse me with ‘poopy head’? :rolleyes:

[Tom_Scud]

@Natlaw

@Tom: did you choose to curse me with ‘poopy head’? :rolleyes:

THAT piece of color was story’s. I did write the speech he gave me, though.

(I also came up with my presumptive victory color, had I managed to get into the final four (oh yeah I lied about my victory condition as well)):

And oh, NAF, you got the spell wrong, or anyway you left off one crucial word. The spell really goes:

Klaatu Verata Nikto, Motherfuckers!

[Chronos]

OK, so where are the spoilers?

For the record, if I had been playing, I would have voted for McGinty and Total Lost next, and it would have taken quite a while to get to Nanook. It would have happened eventually, though. Refresh my memory: What was Nanook’s claim?

[Tom_Scud]

Vanilla. The Narcoleptic Drunk. (Provided by story; it was his actual role name, and would have investigated as such.)

[Oy]

Thanks, story and all others. Sorry about your hard times, Nanook, both in game and out.

[Normal_Phase]

Oh, that I don’t know. It’s not in the main spoiler thread and I haven’t read the scum boards yet.

I had five talismans plus the one from being runner up. So I didn’t have any left for last Night.

I guessed you must be about out, which is the main reason I didn’t even really consider trying to confirm McGinty – I expected scum to come to the same conclusion last night and take him out, then me next.

Oh, Stanislaus! It was a pleasure being a Mason with you, crossed wires and all. I knew I was in for good times when I saw your name there.

Also, many thanks to Chipacabra for his unwitting sacrifice. (For those who haven’t read the roles, Stanislaus left one line out of his role claim – it said there was one specific player in the game who would believe himself vanilla, but would die in place of Stanislaus or me if we were targeted for night kill.) Chipacabra is why I was SO amused at the outcome of night one. There were other factors, too, but he all but had “lynch-bait” written on his forehead after day one, and he must have been the last person the scum wanted to kill. For him to be the martyr was just amazing.

[Normal_Phase]

Tom, did I mention you’re awesome? Because you are. You need to be a PFK more often.

[Mrs_McGinty]

Thanks for a great game, story.

[Normal_Phase]

You were Town, Grandma! Imagine that.

[Mrs_McGinty]

I worked hard to make it seem otherwise.

[Normal_Phase]

I never doubted you. Much.

@Natlaw

One and Only Wanderers: was that ‘epic read’ comment to Tom Scud on purpose or just coincidence?

I was just chatting. He was a new joiner with lots of pages to read up on

[Hal_Briston]

Man, I can’t believe I lived through that. I’d have hounded my ass like a pit bull with lockjaw. That was scummiest-sounding pro-town role I’ve ever had.
