I remember that game. I was scum in that one. Pissed us right the hell off when MHaye came in and ruined our mason lynch at the last second. ---

I have two completed Mafia games under my belt, and I am playing in two right now. That being said :: Tom Scud got really, REALLY unlucky dice in LOST. I found a Java die roller that rolled 1-9999 dice, and totaled each face count. I also found a coin flipper. Scud was at the top of the list all three times. ---

I was the sub. I wound up voting for NAF because he was the vote leader courtesy of a five-vote penalty for editing. Good thing he turned out to be a Doppelganger. ---

I was playing a game off-board, Super Mario Brothers Mafia I was a simple survivor, though Town started thinking I was a mad bomber. I was very close to being lynched. Too close and too late to have the vote swayed (We were using an odd unvoting system…don’t ask) Santo Rugger came out and claimed Scum in an attempt to: [ol] [li]Push for my lynch since he thought the mad bomber might be close to winning[/li][li]Try to strike a deal with the Serial Killer to off Town power roles (That failed and the Scum killed the SK and the SK took out Santo)[/li][/ol] It did lead to my two favorite self-quotes though (the spineys were the ‘bombs’ attached by the mad bomber): > [@](#): > > Santo Rugger: P.P.S.

\*\*The town fell asleep quite quickly, which had actually been the case ever since this ordeal had begun a few days ago. Suddenly: **BANG!** A sharp, loud, brief noise sounded out, waking up most townspeople. Everyone was too afraid to leave their homes and investigate the noise while it was still dark. But it didn’t sound like good news. It’s still Nighttime. No strategy discussion. \*\* ---

I’ll have a Scrumpy, thanks. The home-brewed kind. 😉 The Great 2009 Murder-Off (See Evil Dead Mafia for details) has been possibly my favourite concept. I still think the most unbelievable sequence of events happened in Firefly mafia. In brief, River Tam (played by Hal Briston) was a hunted girl. No less than three players were after her. She had the ability to Hide at Night. If she did, her hunters would be unable to find her. Night 1, Hal stayed unhidden “to see what happened.” He was found that Night. Fortunately it wasn’t the one sent to kill, but rather A Friend. A friend who left Hal a gun, with one bullet. Hal used it on Night Four to kill Idle Thoughts. When Dawn came, the Mods, overlooking that Idle had self-protected, revealed that River Tam had, of her own free will, killed her big brother, Simon Tam the Doctor. ---

When Dawn came, the Mods, overlooking that Idle had self-protected, revealed that River Tam had, of her own free will, killed her big brother, Simon Tam the Doctor. So the mods made a mistake regarding IT’s self-protection? Ouch, a moderators nightmare. ---

Idle wasn’t supposed to have been able to self protect. But somehow that fact was failed to be communicated to him clearly. ---

Ha, probably not. The real mistake there was us taking pity on him and resurrecting him as a mod confirmed instead of sticking to our guns and telling him that he was SOL. It’s the game where I learned that rules are rules and you have to stick to them no matter what. ---
