Simpsons Mafia Postgame

[Earthworm]

Simpsons Mafia Postgame​

The game is now over. I will post a postgame soon probably.

‘Soon’ is finally here! The long-awaited and probably forgotten (by everyone except Gmax and Mekkah) Simpsons Mafia postgame is finally finished, and I’ve basically commented on team balance and the things people are interested in reading about in the role comments so if you want to read that you’ll have to read through the individual roles!

Without further ado:

The Townspeople

Dear AliceBlue,

You are: Chief Wiggum. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You know you’re slightly overweight but you’re the head of the police force and you’re one of the best chances the Townspeople have at keeping justice in the town.

Your main task is to prevent the criminals in Springfield from causing chaos and with the tools at your disposal you’re one of the best candidates for the job. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Locking up USER’ where x is the night you’re sending the PM on and USER is a living player. Your target will be unable to perform any night roles they attempt that night due to being locked up and in your custody. In case they’re innocent you’ll release them the next morning though.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: This role was intended to be one of the best village roles. He couldn’t target the same person twice in a row and was a fairly standard hooker but hookers aren’t exactly weak.

Comments on how the role was played: Chief Wiggum was played by Stoo. He idled night 0 which was arguably a good choice. He found the main village group and co-operated with them and even told them on Day 1 when he was silenced due to being taken hostage by Luigi (Sikh Assassin) due to him targeting Cyan. However even after telling them he decided to post and got godkilled which hurt the village a lot. He might have played well other than that and been a valuable asset to the village if he hadn’t done that.

Dear Green,

You are: Lou. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You’re just a cop that does his job and does it well. You respect both the chief and your partner Eddie, whom you rarely do anything without.

It should be your priority to locate your fellow policemen among other players, specifically Eddie. Without Eddie you will be unable to perform either of your abilities as a policeman. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Inspecting USER’ OR ‘Night (x) – Protecting USER’. If Eddie uses the same ability and you both have the same target, the two of you will team up to make sure your job is done properly. Otherwise, you won’t be able to use either ability.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: I figured that this role would be played quietly until the main village group emerged. Basically it was a pretty strong role but could very easily be shut down as Lou needed to first find Eddie and if either of them died at any point the other would become a villager with no role.

Comments on how the role was played: Lou was played by Jenigmat. He posted in the Smogon topic requesting policemen come to him night 0 which was probably a bad idea. He then decided to tell thunda that he was Lou and showed him his role I think after thunda gave him the idea that he could be put into contact thanks to him. thunda then used his robot to PM Jen with the following:

Hi


From: Moccasin
To: Green
Yeah, I'm Eddie. Looking forward to working with you, we have a cool role whilst we are both alive :D

I haven't been too active on the internet due to irl issues, so I'm sorry i didn't get this to you before Night 0. I'll definitely be able to make it on before Night 1, just send me a PM with whatever action you want me to do.

Hopefully my problems clear up and we can talk on irc sometime.

Also I'd rather keep my real user name secret for now, safer you know. Don't tell anyone about this alias either please, I only PM'd as I've been assured I can trust you. I like my role this game, I want to stay alive as long as I can.

Thanks.

Luckily, Jen had already found zerowing by then but as he had given his alias and role to thunda he was disposed of Night 1.

Dear Magenta,

You are: Eddie. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You have been known to question some of what the chief says and occasionally joke around, but otherwise you think you’re a great cop. You enforce the law without corruption with your fellow policeman Lou.

It should be your priority to find Lou as without him you couldn’t perform your job well. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Inspecting USER’ OR ‘Night (x) – Protecting USER’. If Lou uses the same ability and you both have the same target, you’ll successfully perform the action. Otherwise, you won’t be able to perform either ability at all.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: Same as Lou.

Comments on how the role was played: zerowing pretty much contacted Jenigmat as soon as he saw his post I think, but unfortunately that was after thunda had gotten to him. Other than that zerowing played a pretty quiet game as a villager. He was eventually inspected by Thorns so I guess that counts as a successful wasted inspection!

Dear Snow,

You are: Otto. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You drive the school bus and love listening to loud music. You do your job fairly efficiently but are occasionally criticised. With the suspicious behaviour occurring recently though, you don’t think you’ll bother escorting students to school.

Instead, you’ll just listen to loud music and take illegal drugs. For now, at least.

You have: the Drugs.
The Drugs are an item. The Drugs disallow you from using a night ability as they will be feeling too high to complete any action. You may pass on the Drugs after using them for one night by PMing NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Give Drugs to USER’. They will not be used on the night you receive them but on the following night. That is, if you received the Drugs on Night 4, you would be unable to perform any ability on Night 5 and then be able to pass them and use any other abilities you may have on Night 6. You may of course choose to retain the Drugs for as long as you like.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: This role was basically a villager with an item. The item was similar to an item from Mafia Mafia.

Comments on how the role was played: Otto was played by Puggy. He found his side fairly early but never gave away the drugs. They were stolen by Gmax who then used them as a shield from thieves, but it turns out they weren’t stolen from him.

Dear Orchid,

You are: Nelson. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You’re known for being a bully and taunting people when they’re misfortunate but deep down you have a soft side and you wouldn’t want an evil side to win this game. You feel especially attached to certain people and you may gain new powers should something happen to them.

For now, you’ll use your intimidating façade and your strength to protect people from harm. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Guarding USER’. This user will be protected from being killed by most assailants.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: Standard BG role but gained the ability to revenge kill the killer of Lisa if she died, this was to sort of compensate for the death of the village’s full power inspector and the secondary part probably wasn’t necessary, especially since it required the role user to find out exactly who the killer was.

The only girl you ever liked (Lisa) has now passed away but you're not going to let Lisa's death go unavenged. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with 'Night (x) - Taking Retribution on USER'. If that user is the user that killed Lisa they will die. You may use this ability at the same time as you use your protection ability but you may not prevent a death on the same night you cause one. If your protection would save a user and you would kill a user on the same night, only the protection will work.

^New powers

Comments on how the role was played: Mekkah played Nelson. He idled the last night but other than that he did ok, finding the village and attempting to organise it (nobody else seemed to want to do anything though except maybe AvatarST and occasionally moi). Saved CyzirVisheen once.

Dear Navy,

You are: Jimbo. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You usually travel around with a pack of juvenile delinquents but while to others you appear to be badass, in reality you have a soft side. You don’t really want to see the Townspeople lose so you’re going to be stealing from people on behalf of yourself and your town.

On even nights you may send a PM to NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Stealing from USER’. You will steal the oldest item that person is holding. On odd nights, you may send a PM to NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Instructing to steal from USER’. This will make your friend Kearney steal from whoever you tell them to and give you the item they get.

Since Kearney accompanies you and is dependent on you to survive, he will die if you die.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: This was another ‘trick’ role I guess, it fooled the user into thinking there’s another player out there who is Kearney when in fact Kearney was just a vanilla NPC under Jimbo’s command at night. This role was quite weak since it was the village thief but I guess it had some advantages like if he sent Kearney to steal from someone that Luigi Risotto was protecting it would silence Kearney instead of Jimbo.

Comments on how the role was played: Jimbo was played by Shiv who was quite disinterested in the game and idled a few times which was rather bad for the village’s chances considering the strength of some of the items in the game but whatever. At least Shiv was a better villager in FE mafia.

Dear PowderBlue,

You are: Milhouse. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are considered to be a nerd by most of your classmates but despite this you aren’t extremely bright. You can’t see anything without your glasses and you don’t have many talents. Little will change for this game unless you can find some use for yourself.

You have: the Glasses.
The Glasses are an item. The Glasses allow you to see more clearly. They don’t really have much other use. You may give them away at night by sending a PM to NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Glasses to USER’.

You win if the Townspeople win and you have the Glasses.

Comments on the role: This was just a weak villager role, but if Rainier Wolfcastle became Radioactive Man while Milhouse retained his Glasses, he would become Fallout Boy the Alias to Smogon Name converter. Other than that there was nothing special about it.

Comments on how the role was played: imperfectluck caused some disruption within the village and tried to test out his role by giving the Glasses to Hip to see if it would change his role or something because he was probably in disbelief that it could be that simple. I’m guessing he also gave the Glasses to Hip to prove that he was really Milhouse which was a pretty good move. The disruption imperfectluck caused in the village didn’t really do them any good, but it might have if there was a mole (there wasn’t).

Dear Sienna,

You are: Groundskeeper Willie. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You have a distinctive Scottish origin and keep many Scottish traditions alive with your actions. You are employed at Springfield Elementary where you are head groundskeeper.

You are a vengeful man and you’re known for being able to wrestle even wolves into submission. However, you’ve decided to remain peaceful for this game and just continue doing your job, unless of course someone wants to target you first. You’ve shown an unnatural ability to take revenge on those responsible for your death. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Stalking USER’. If this user is responsible for your death at night and there is an open alias, you will return to life under that alias and be able to kill people at night until that person is dead.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: I really liked this role. Previously I’ve thought that Rogues are underpowered because all they get is to resurrect for such a difficult role (figuring out who is going to kill you then targeting them on the night that they target you). I thought this was an apt reward and I stand by it, and I like that I managed to reference a Halloween episode of the Simpsons with this!

Comments on how the role was played: I think this was one of Cyzir’s first mafias and he basically did what he was told. The village decided to use their vigilante’s one time kill on Cyzir to get the ability going which was arguably a good move. However, moi picked some bad targets (he killed darkie who was a villager) and Cyzir seemed to take it hard on himself when he was just following moi’s orders. I don’t think Cyzir made any mistakes really. He ended up being doubly targeted on the night he was killed as DarkSalmon (his resurrected alias).

Dear Burlywood,

You are: Mrs. Krabappel. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You have a lousy teaching job at Springfield Elementary and nobody respects you for what you teach, not even yourself. That doesn’t matter though; in the current situation you can make use of yourself just by calling the roll.

The following characters attended or worked at Springfield Elementary before unrest occurred in Springfield (and are in the game):

Groundskeeper Willie
Nelson Muntz
Seymour Skinner
Bart Simpson
Lisa Simpson
Jimbo Jones
Milhouse Van Houten
Martin Prince
Otto Mann
Kearney Zzyzwicz
Superintendent Chalmers

You’re especially attached to Seymour Skinner – you couldn’t stand it if anything were to happen to him.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: This role was quite plain and assisted with tricking the village into thinking two things that weren’t true. Firstly that Bart was on their team (his role was designed to be the mole) and secondly that Kearney was being controlled by a user. If Skinner died then Krabappel would become a bi-nightly hooker, obviously.

Comments on how the role was played: moi played Krabappel and attempted to play the role of village leader. He managed to fool his enemies into believing that he had a list of all the Townspeople, which probably discouraged them from false claiming. He did an ok job of finding next to all of the villagers but then did a poor job of commanding his resources. The village was quite disorganised with moi as the leader.

Dear Chocolate,

You are: Principal Skinner. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are the Principal of Springfield Elementary. You are an educational bureaucrat and you think you do a fine job of maintaining the school’s honour.

In this game you hope to allow your side to win through your skills in discerning the truth behind people’s identities. You are an experienced fraud and even managed to convince the woman who thinks you are her son into thinking that way despite being a completely different man. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Examining USER’. By the next morning you will have worked out the name of the character that user is.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: Generic role name inspector. This game probably had a few too many weak inspectors.

Comments on how the role was played: Skinner was played by Bass. Unlike the policeman duo, Bass’ death would actually help someone on his team (Krabappel). Unfortunately for Bass, his ability was prevented twice by LightWolf’s ability and once by Sikh’s ability, but he still found some useful information like MintCream being Comic Book Guy and CadetBlue being Legs. Overall Bass played well, he just had bad luck.

Dear Tan,

You are: Superintendent Chalmers. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are a hardworking man and although your dedication to your job could be called questionable you think you do it fine. The incompetence of Skinner and his school can now be overlooked though as right now everyone’s priority should be to keep the town under the control of the right people.

You really hate it when things are going fine and then everything goes wrong due to something going missing or something falling out of place. That is why for this game you’ve decided to devote yourself to keeping things where they belong: in the hands of your allies. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Monitoring USER’. You will look out for any thief that targets that person. If you see a thief trying to steal from the user, you’ll ward them off.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: Thief protection, a fairly new role but not a very useful one really. This is kind of like a bad BG but in this game it was useful to a greater extent since there were a lot of items and many of them were very powerful.

Comments on how the role was played: Chalmers was played by AvatarST. AvatarST did a fairly good job of leading the village alongside moi and Mekkah, and protected porygon3 consistently which was the best action he could have taken, however his role was never useful. Maybe he would have been more useful if the game continued.

Dear Olive,

You are: Martin. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are an excellent student and you learn new concepts very quickly. For some reason you remain unpopular among your classmates but you intend to make your learning ability useful to your side this game.

The best method of learning is through experience. Should you experience being targeted by three roles, you will learn the third role and each subsequent one, but after learning a new action you will be unable to perform any old actions you have learnt. Should you be targeted by multiple roles at the same time, you will learn the one with the lowest priority. You cannot learn how to kill.

You have: the Magnet.
The Magnet is an item. While you have the Magnet you will be able to send a PM to NavajoWhite at night with ‘Night (x) – Pointing Magnet at USER’. If that user has any metallic items you will obtain them. Additionally, that user will be forced to target you on this night. However, while using the magnet you cannot be protected from any abilities that target you.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: This seems like a pretty strong role but I don’t think it is really. Most metallic items (Knife, Gun, and Ray Gun) happened to be killing items so targeting them with the magnet would cause Martin’s death. I also deliberately left it ambiguous whether certain items were metallic or not, people could (try to) work it out for themselves.

Comments on how the role was played: Martin was played by forks who got silenced by Jedil and then posted and died pretty early. So this role was played pretty badly and barely saw use, other than preventing Blue Kirby from targeting Hobo Joe on Night 1.

Dear Lavender,

You are: Lisa Simpson. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are a very talented student that attends Springfield Elementary. Some of your skills include playing the saxophone and achieving consistently good results in schoolwork. However, while you are a good problem solver and a reliable detective, you are not very physically powerful.

You can put your skills to use in this game by finding the bad guys, but you aren’t exactly a fearless leader. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Inspecting USER’ OR ‘Night (x) – Hiding’. Inspecting a user will allow you to work out the user’s role. Hiding will allow you to escape almost all other night roles during that night. You must use the latter ability at least once in every three nights due to your fear of being killed.

You win if the Simpsons win.

The Simpsons win if all users who are not one of the following characters die:
Homer Simpson
Marge Simpson
Bart Simpson
Lisa Simpson
Maggie Simpson

OR

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: A full powered inspector (with an additionally useful ability and slight restriction) that may win with the village or the Simpsons. This was a great role really since it allowed the village to potentially protect a total of three people from being killed at night assuming both cops are alive and Nelson is alive (this isn’t even including Hip assuming his ability became activated, so it is technically possibly four). If the player chose to play closer with the Simpsons then they could stay alive for as long as they wanted while pretending to be Lisa the hiding villager or something equally non-suspicious.

Comments on how the role was played: I think Giga Punch was one of the first Simpsons to reveal the secondary part of the win condition. He joined up with Hip and imperfectluck to form the ‘Fair Weather alliance’ and they made some kind of alias swapping and leaking incorrect information. However this didn’t pan out too well with Giga Punch being killed while the mafia were aiming at Hip. I didn’t like how Lisa was played personally but I suppose it was alright.

Dear MediumPurple,

You are: Reverend Lovejoy. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are a dedicated Reverend but over the years you have found your job as minister has become more and more boring. You welcome the unrest caused by recent events in Springfield and as times lead to hostility you are ready to join the side of the people that you believe are doing the right thing – the Townspeople.

You have a knack for being able to tell when people have done the wrong thing. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Receiving confession from USER’. You will travel to that user’s home and appeal to them until they admit to you the sins they have committed during the game. You will find out if the user has sinned or not sinned. If they have sinned you will find out whether they have killed anyone or stolen from anyone.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: Some kind of weak inspector thing. I think this was a pretty bad role. Sins only included stealing and killing.

Comments on how the role was played: moot originally had this role but he wasn’t very interested and sent in a PM once in five nights and wasn’t found by the village really until tennisace was subbed in but he really never got a chance to play unfortunately. So yeah this was played badly.

Dear SeaGreen,

You are: Ned Flanders. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are a regular church attendee and a devoted Christian. You strongly believe in God and his teachings and so you are opposed to the lynch system which has been proposed but reluctantly you will put up with it.

You have: the Bible.
The Bible is an item. While you have the bible and it is night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Preaching to USER’. You will educate that user in the Bible’s teachings and hopefully convert them to Christianity. You may alternatively choose to give the Bible away to another user at night by PMing NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Bible to USER’. You may not preach and give away the Bible on the same night.

Despite having the option to give away the Bible, you strongly believe you will be better off keeping it for yourself.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: Preaching actually did absolutely nothing except tell the user that they were approached and read to from a man with a bible. If the bible was ever stolen or someone attempted to murder Ned, the Bible would disappear and Ned would survive and become an odd night bodyguard.

Comments on how the role was played: I liked how Hip played this role, he just got unlucky with a few things. He teamed up with imperfectluck and made their own mini village group which worked out pretty well. Unfortunately imperfectluck and Giga Punch both died so Hip was kind of left with the main disorganised village bunch. Hip also managed to leak lots of false and jumbled up info to the mafias when they attempted to trick him. Nice play overall, probably one of the best villagers.

Dear Violet,

You are: Marge Simpson.

You are a mother of three children and an underappreciated one at that. No matter what people say or don’t say, you are a good mother and you’ll make yourself useful while you can.

Being a housewife, you always seem to know where everything is. You are quite capable of finding specific items. You’ll search up and down until you find what you’re looking for as you are quite a determined woman. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Looking for ITEM among USERS’. You may search up to five users for any specific item, and if one of them is holding the item you will know. However, you will not know which of the users has the item.

You win if the Simpsons win.

The Simpsons win if all users who are not one of the following characters die:
Homer Simpson
Marge Simpson
Bart Simpson
Lisa Simpson
Maggie Simpson

OR

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: I really stuffed up this role, it was far too weak and not useful at all. It is as is. At least it is kinda new-ish.

Comments on how the role was played: cookie couldn’t really do much with this role but he didn’t idle. He was targeted with the Syringe early on and killed on the day before he was about to die I think. cookie was a doomed from the start. I’m really sorry about how bad this role was! I thought of numerous revisions to this role since I originally made it and they’re all better than this version.

Dear Purple,

You are: Krusty. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are known for clowning about on television but in reality you are barely motivated and offstage you show a lack of tolerance for others’ incompetence. You occasionally make crazy decisions which reflect the true clown-like nature inside you.

You have come up with a plan that you think will help your side win this game. On any night other than Night 0, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Faking Death’. You will appear to be dead the next morning, but you will then take on a new alias and have a new role which is still aligned with the Townspeople. You will only be able to take on a new alias if a spare one is available. If no aliases are available, you will die.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: This role is new as far as I know. He became a Mayor after he faked his death. An interesting quirk to the role was that he would have died if there hadn’t been an NPC available to him to takeover. I really liked this role quite a lot.

Comments on how the role was played: eric the espeon created Colo(u)r Mafia which was kind of interesting since a load of people found it really suspicious but he didn’t intend for it to be at all. It fit his role to make such a game, since he was able to change alias and remove suspicion from himself (well most of it, his role PM was snipped out!). eric the espeon did what he was told and played pretty well and made the game more enjoyable in my opinion!

Dear PaleGreen,

You are: Hans Moleman. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You have incredibly bad luck and always seem to get into the worst possible situations. Unfortunately your luck never seems to change.

There is no chance that any type of protection will work on you – you’re just too unlucky. You do have the ability to make situations turn worse for the opposing sides though. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Distracting USER’. This will cause any protection your target has to fail. It will also disallow them from targeting anyone other than you, and if they make an action that night it will automatically be redirected to you. This includes any night actions they may perform, such as killing or giving away items.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: This role was pretty much destined to die but it was meant to cause a bit of havoc before going down. Also a pseudo-thief (only if they give away their item) which is pretty cool!

Comments on how the role was played: Shade idled three times before dying. He didn’t really do very much. I think this role could have been utilised better than it was. I think he contacted the village though which was good.

Dear MediumSlateBlue,

You are: Maggie Simpson. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are a baby that is mostly dependent on her mother. However, you are capable of doing some things for yourself.

You have a slightly sinister side to you which people who only take a single glance may be unable to see, as they will be mesmerised by your constant dummy-sucking. If a thief targets you at night and you are holding the Lollipop, you will kill them with whatever means are lying nearby you.

You have: the Lollipop.
The Lollipop is an item. Sucking on this lollipop may give you a slight boost to an ability you may have. This item cannot be given away or stolen.

You are currently unable to post. This may change in the future.

You are also able to recognise your mother amongst other people. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Identifying USER’. Due to your inability to recognise people other than your mother, this ability will only give a result if the user you identify is Marge Simpson.

The Simpsons win if all users who are not one of the following characters die:
Homer Simpson
Marge Simpson
Bart Simpson
Lisa Simpson
Maggie Simpson

OR

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: The Marge identifying thing was pretty much useless and purely there to help Maggie find one of the other Simpsons. Maggie could post if Frink made an item out of the Speakers. The lollipop was a pretty cool item but nothing happened with it since Maggie didn’t die. It was only non-transferable while in the hands of Maggie.

Comments on how the role was played: Shiney played Maggie and just pretty much sat with the village for the whole game. He seemed to think identifying Marge would do something when it didn’t. At least he found and decided to play with the village. I think Maggie would have been better as a neutral role, it would fit flavour-wise too.

Dear Yellow,

You are: Grandpa. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You get very bored in the retirement home. You often desire to visit people or just for people to listen to you. For this game, you’ve decided to take advantage of your ability to spout useless stories.

You may think your stories are interesting or you may know people can’t stand it when you open your mouth. It makes little difference to you though, as you can talk from dawn until the dusk. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Telling stories to USER’. You’ll start telling that user a story as soon as the night ends and you won’t be finished until the day is over. That user will be too distracted by your endless speaking to be able to post during the next day. However, you won’t be able to post either.

You have: the Flux Capacitor.
The Flux Capacitor is an item. You don’t really care what this does or who gave it to you, but it is in your possession. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Flux Capacitor to USER’. That user will receive the item the next morning.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: This role was extremely weak and useless deliberately and I can’t really think of many logical uses of it. The Flux Capacitor needed to go somewhere though!

Comments on how the role was played: This role was played terribly by Jedil, he silenced villagers almost every time and caused the godkilling of his teammate forks.
[18:33:32] <Mekkah> jedil was very good as well
[18:33:38] <Mekkah> OK HERES MY SILENCER CLAIM BUT IM NEVER TALKING AGAIN
[18:33:43] <Mekkah> RANDOMLY SILENCING VILLIES THEN NOT REPORTING
[18:33:44] <Mekkah> BYE
He also leaked moi’s alias to thunda. Probably a good candidate for the worst actively playing villager! Sorry Jedil.

Dear SpringGreen,

You are: Dr. Hibbert. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are easily the best doctor in Springfield and everyone knows it. You also have what you consider to be a great sense of humour, finding yourself laughing in almost every situation. Your sense of humour isn’t going to be what is useful for the purposes of this game though.

You know that there is a type of poison in this game and that you’re the only one who can provide removal of this poison. You have taken two measures to prevent this poison from taking any lives. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Curing USER’. If that user has been infected with the poison, they will be cured and not be able to be harmed by the poison in future.

You have: the Vaccine.
The Vaccine is an item. The Vaccine can be used to cure users from any poison infliction they may have. To use the Vaccine, send a PM to NavajoWhite at night with ‘Night (x) – Vaccinating USER’. The Vaccine will not provide immunisation. You can also give the Vaccine to another user at night by sending a PM to NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Vaccine to USER’. The user will receive the Vaccine the next morning and be able to vaccinate users the next night. You may not vaccinate a user on the same night that you use another ability.

Being the town’s most competent doctor, you wouldn’t want to take a win if you couldn’t make use of your talents.

You win if the Townspeople win and you successfully cure at least two users.

Comments on the role: This role was meant to be quite important with three poison sources in the game: the Syringe, Luigi Risotto, and Dr. Nick. It was clearly designed for the Vaccine to be given away to someone else to help him out in curing as many villagers as they could find showing symptoms (they would be shown symptoms at the conclusion of the day before the day they died). I quite liked this role despite it being quite generic and I came up with it before playing in thunda’s game where a similar role existed but was never utilised.

Comments on how the role was played: Darkie was pretty much idle. His Syringe got stolen by GTS on Night 0 and then he was killed by the village killer under moi’s orders. This was darkie’s fault pretty much. He couldn’t do much about losing the Vaccine but he could have at least made moi make Cyzir change orders if he had claimed to the village.

Dear DarkTurquoise,

You are: Apu. You are allied with the Townspeople.

Despite some racial difficulties during your stay in Springfield, you have found that the majority of the Townspeople are good people and decided to side with them for this time. You run the Kwik-E-Mart and are well known for your catch phrase of ‘Thank you, come again!’

Being the owner of the most popular convenience store in the town, you have gotten to know the Townspeople when you see them and you can sense when someone has something against you. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Checking USER’. By the next morning you will have worked out whether that user is a fellow Townsperson or not.

If you should ever grow tired of checking users to ensure that they’re on your side, you may use your life for a more noble purpose. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Throwing Self in front of USER’. You will dive in front of them should someone attempt to kill them that night, saving the user at the cost of your own life.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: The sheriff. I like the additional ability too, even if it was probably not going to be very useful until really late game.

Comments on how the role was played: CardsOfTheHeart played Apu and I think he did quite a good job of it. He found Sonuis by checking Black which became their lynch target, and he cleaned a villager and found an NPC. He started idling at the end but I think this was because he lost access to a computer or something but I didn’t want to sub him out unless it was requested because he was playing well prior to that.

Dear Lime,

You are: Rainier Wolfcastle. You are allied with the Townspeople.

Although your main profession is acting, you are exceedingly strong and the current situation may put your strength to the test. You are well known for being a tough guy in the McBain series and people are looking to you for help.

You’ve decided that you’ll be more than willing to take out an enemy. Once in the game and at night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Beating USER to death’. You will locate that user and terminate them as you would if you were playing McBain in a film.

You may unlock new powers should you attain certain items that allow you to play other roles.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: The primary vigilante for the village. He started off with a single kill which I assumed he would use early or if the Goggles were stolen at some point after he received them. Only the Goggles would change his role and it would change him into an every-night Vigilante. I decided this was appropriate because he could lose the power by either being killed or being stolen from, meaning he would need double-protection to remain really safe.

Comments on how the role was played: It took a ridiculously long time for him to obtain the Goggles because of a few stuff-ups but they weren’t porygon3’s fault, they were Kannon’s and the leaders of the village’s. porygon3 did a good job of playing this role I think. He killed the wolf after he was (finally) given the goggles by Kannon and generally held the village’s items since he was under AvatarST’s item protection.

Dear DarkViolet,

You are: Disco Stu. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You have what could be called an obsession for disco music and in your mind you are stuck in the disco era. This doesn’t stop you from being a great guy though, and you hope you’ll do your part in assisting the rest of the Townspeople in their attempt to retain control of the town.

You have: the Speaker.
While holding the Speaker you must post all messages in all capital letters (for example: Lynch Red would become LYNCH RED). Posting any lowercase characters while holding the speaker will result in the holder being unable to post until two nights have passed. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Speaker to USER’. This user will obtain the Speaker the next morning and will be under the same posting restrictions as you.

You are quite poor money-wise and you would like to take everything you can get, whether it is from people or even corpses. Unfortunately, there is a man who is a better scavenger than you named Barney Gumble. Until he dies or is removed from the game somehow, you will be unable to scavenge corpses for items.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: The scavenger whose role only started working once Barney Gumble died. I think this fit in well with Barney’s win condition which was survival, since the village would be hunting him once they found out how many good items there were. I really like this role and I think it fits well as a village role in a large game where there is also an opposing scavenger. Backup scavenger is another new role I think.

Comments on how the role was played: Serenity played Disco Stu and wasn’t happy with her role. She didn’t really get to do much because Fishin played really well, but she did organise the village a bit from behind the scenes. She probably could’ve tried a bit harder to find Barney rather than just waiting for ages which was what it seemed like. Complained too much in my opinion, this role was actually quite good!

Dear MintCream,

You are: Comic Book Guy. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are adept at using the Internet and you have a vast knowledge of comic books and collectible items. You have amazing talent in using sarcasm but you know your constant usage of it doesn’t benefit your social life.

Using your Internet abilities you are able to track down who people target. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Tracking USER’. If the user you targeted used a night action, you will be informed of who they targeted.

You also have what you consider to be a very useful item. The goggles you possess can be used to activate a certain Rainier Wolfcastle’s abilities for the upcoming Radioactive Man film. You know that you should give them to him as soon as possible to that he can be ready to take on the role immediately.

You have: the Goggles.
The Goggles are an item. They do nothing - unless your name is Rainier Wolfcastle. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Goggles to USER’. They will receive the goggles the next morning.

You win if the Townspeople win.

Comments on the role: I think this is (or at least was) a new sort of tracker. The goggles needed to be transferred to Rainier Wolfcastle as quickly as possible, which meant the village would be rewarded for organising and assembling faster. If someone was able to mole the village and find out what was happening with the goggles though, since the vigilante wasn’t aware that they were vigilante past their first kill.

Comments on how the role was played: This role was played poorly by Kannon to be honest. He contacted eric the espeon (Krusty) with information about the goggles but then took forever to get them transferred and even tried to transfer them to ‘porygon3’ instead of ‘Lime’. He did eventually get them transferred though. He managed to track twice (once he targeted Blue Kirby and once he targeted 100kvolts) but couldn’t utilise the results well, then he idled three times.

The Springfield Mafia

Dear RoyalBlue,

You are: Louie. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

You are one of Fat Tony’s henchmen and are employed under him as a hitman. You have a distinct accent and you’re an expert at handling firearms.

You carry a weapon on you at all times and for this game you’ll need it. On any even night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Shooting USER’. This user will be killed.

You know of one other mafia member’s alias:

Legs – CadetBlue

It should be a high priority for you to locate other team members. Legs will be your partner until you can find the remainder of your team. Should Legs die before you, you will receive a new power.

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: The Springfield Mafia’s even night killer. When Legs died he received a one time Smogon-alias kill that he could use on any night he wasn’t using his regular ability. Started with the bodyguard known to him.

Comments on how the role was played: Mastadi played Louie and he didn’t really do anything wrong, just followed orders and didn’t talk to anyone outside of his team as far as I know. Not that much to say here!

Dear CadetBlue,

You are: Legs. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

You are one of Fat Tony’s henchmen and you work under him as a hitman. Although you are an efficient killer, Fat Tony has decided that your main task will not be to kill people in this game.

You are an experienced mob surgeon and you will be putting your talents to use. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Stitching up USER’. This user will be saved should they be targeted by a killing role.

You know of one other mafia member’s alias:

Louie – RoyalBlue

It should be a high priority for you to locate other team members. Louie will be your partner until you can find the remainder of your team. Should Louie die before you, you will receive a new power.

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: This was the Springfield Mafia’s bodyguard. He was paired with the killer so that the most important role wouldn’t die early. If the killer did end up dying (probably by lynch), then he would gain a non-kill bodyguard role (known as safeguard in Pact Mafia) which he could use concurrently with the kill protection bodyguard.

Comments on how the role was played: This was played by GreenPikachu, and he played well in my opinion. He led his team together with aamto and Jackal and they didn’t really mess up, they just got really unlucky throughout the game (the opposite of the Burns mafia basically).

Dear Tomato,

You are: Fat Tony. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

You are the figurehead of corruption in Springfield and one of the main causes of the current situation. Your constant and obviously false claims to be innocent work very effectively on the incompetent enforcers of justice in this town. Your task in this game is to lead your team to victory over those incompetent Townspeople.

You are in control of the Springfield Mafia subforum, The Legitimate Businessman's Social Club. It should be a priority to add the other members of your team to this subforum as soon as possible as it will allow you to become organised and may result in unlocking new powers.

You have: the Gun.
The Gun is an item. The Gun allows you to shoot users every odd night. While you have the gun and it is an odd night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Firing at USER’. The user you fire at will die. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Gun to USER’. The user will receive the Gun the next morning and be able to use it the next odd night. You may not fire the gun and give it to another user on the same night.

You know of one other mafia member’s alias:

Don Vittorio Di Maggio – Khaki

It should be a high priority for you to locate your fellow mafia members.

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: I decided to make the Springfield Mafia’s odd night kill an item. The obvious downside of this is that if it gets stolen then not only does some other team have a huge advantage but this team loses a significant amount of power. This guy also received persuade power once he managed to get his entire faction into the subforum, which I thought was a good idea because not only would it mean he would know and be able to verify when his whole team is in (including Bart) but he’d also be more motivated to do it faster.

Comments on how the role was played: Fat Tony was played by Vampy34. He wasn’t the most active player but I let his team submit a kill for him anyway, as it would be pretty lame to ruin a team’s chances because one of their guys was inactive. The gun getting stolen did indeed happen, and it basically killed what was left of this team’s motivation because it went to the team that was winning (it couldn’t go to idler_Shiv anyway seeing as he just idled in a game full of strong items… damp Shiv, nor did it go to the neutral thief – I guess there was a chance for this team if SD had joined it). 

Dear Khaki,

You are: Don Vittorio Di Maggio. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

While Fat Tony is the figurehead of the Springfield Mafia, you’re the godfather. While you’re somewhat easily amused and appear relatively harmless, you won’t rest unless your fellow mafia members have won.

You’re always looking for new people to join your family, as long as you’re sure they aren’t going to betray you. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Making offer to USER’. If that user is neutral and eligible for conversion, they will receive an offer to change their win condition to ‘You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.’

Being the real head of the mafia, you know exactly which roles are on your side.

Fat Tony – Tomato
Louie
Legs
Johnny Tightlips
Jimmy the Snitch
Luigi Risotto
Bart Simpson
Frankie the Squealer

It should be a priority that you find these roles so that you can collaborate more quickly in the Springfield Mafia subforum.

Finally, if you are lynched, the last person to vote will be executed by members of your family. This ability will fail to work if you’re the last one on your team to be lynched.

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: Basically this role could recruit most of the neutrals (the only exception being the Wolf). If Homer was recruited he’d just get the win condition added to the current one. He knew all the roles so he couldn’t get moled very easily, although the characters that are likely to be on this team are pretty obvious and there were only two exceptions (Luigi kinda, and Bart). I also liked the semi-‘death star’ thing because it makes a good deterrent to people that inspect him.

Comments on how the role was played: The Don was played by matamato (aamto). He played a pretty good team, uniting his team early on (this revealed his team’s name, but it was worth the reward most likely – the mafias were split in the first place because of the hidden faction names). He was inspected early on, but the deterrent of the last guy to lynch getting killed seem to keep him alive for quite some time. Along with GreenPikachu and Jackal, he organised his team quite well. He attempted to recruit thunda which failed because thunda was the only neutral that couldn’t be recruited, and then tried to recruit StrangerDanger but SD seemed to be MIA or not interested, strangely enough.

Dear CornflowerBlue,

You are: Johnny Tightlips. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

You don’t say very much but you’re a loyal member of the Springfield Mafia. When you do say something, you make sure it has impact. You are not the most efficient member of your team but Fat Tony has some uses for you.

At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Covering USER’. The user you target with this ability will be immune from inspection this night. Instead of receiving any type of inspection results, the inspector will find that they accidentally fell asleep rather than carrying out their inspection.

Rather than speaking a lot and blending in, you choose to speak infrequently and with increased assertiveness. This gives your words more impact when you do speak. You may only post on odd days and nights. However, your lynch votes will count double.

You know of one other mafia member’s alias:

Jimmy the Snitch – Honeydew

Jimmy the Snitch will be your partner until you can find the rest of your team members. It should be a high priority that you find your fellow mafia members as soon as possible.

You may gain a new power if a certain user dies.

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: Johnny Tightlips was an inspection protection type role that only protected from inspection that doubled as a mayor on odd days. He was placed with the super thief because I considered that one of the most important roles on the Springfield Mafia, though they weren’t informed of this. Gained silencer on the death of Frankie the Squealer.

Comments on how the role was played: LightWolf the cursed played this role, and even though he successfully blocked like two or three inspections from Bass if I recall correctly, his team still ended up having awful luck and just kept getting targeted. LightWolf didn’t do anything wrong, but it is probable that he would’ve ended up losing because of the disadvantage his team was at.

Dear Honeydew,

You are: Jimmy the Snitch. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

You are a professional thief that works under Fat Tony. You are not a well known mafia member which makes it easier for you to snitch things from unsuspecting victims.

Unlike most other thieves, you can take many items at once. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Move items from USER1 to USER2’ OR ‘Night (x) – Move items from SMOGON ALIAS to USER’. User1 or Smogon Alias will lose their items and all of the items they were previously holding will be transferred to User2. User2 cannot be your own alias. You are the highest priority thief in the game.

You know of one other mafia member’s alias:

Johnny Tightlips – CornflowerBlue

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: Jimmy the Snitch was one of the roles that attempted to balance out the two mafia sides. The other mafia team had several roles based heavily around strong items, and this role was meant to be a powerful weapon against them. I’m of the belief that thieves are generally underpowered, so I made this role and the other thieves in the game not just generic thieves.

Comments on how the role was played: GTS was unfortunately inspected and lynched Day 1. This was a massive blow to the Springfield Mafia, as they lost one of their most important roles after only one night. However, GTS did manage to steal the Vaccine from the inactive darkie.

Dear Azure,

You are: Luigi Risotto. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

You are a stereotypical Italian chef that is also an illegal immigrant. While to the Townspeople you may appear to be an innocent Italian restaurant owner, upon closer inspection they may find that you are in fact loyal to the Springfield Mafia.

At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Serving USER’. If the user you serve is a Springfield Mafia member you will capture any users targeting that user at night and keep them hostage throughout the next day. During this time you will interrogate that user and at the end of the next day you will discover their role name. If they were receiving results from targeting the user they will receive them at the end of the next day.

Once five of the original Springfield Mafia members have died, the Serving action will also work on non-Springfield Mafia members but instead of capturing users that target them, you will serve them poisoned food. Poisoned food will not instantly kill the user you target.

You know of one other mafia member’s alias:

Frankie the Squealer - RosyBrown

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: This was the third ‘killer’ on the Springfield Mafia. In case the other killers died, this was their backup kind of thing. He also doubled as a silencer, role name checker, and watcher if used correctly. Note, however, that he wasn’t told the alias of the user that targeted his target – but he could narrow it down by eliminating the users that posted. Additionally, he was a character that probably wouldn’t be on the mafia (or at least might not be). Capturing a user did not stop their role from working. When used in combination with Johnny Tightlips, this role could have done some very serious damage.

Comments on how the role was played: Sikh Assassin played this role, and probably didn’t play this role to its potential. He did manage to silence someone and get them godkilled (Stoo) though, which was pretty cool. Maybe a more experienced player would have done better, as at the time, Sikh Assassin was fairly new and didn’t really know what was going on (I think he openly admitted that Jackal was mafia on his team in #warau or #fluodome at some point during the game, and at the same time Jackal was trying to mole Hipmonlee though I don’t think it changed anything).

Dear RosyBrown,

You are: Frankie the Squealer. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

Rather than allow you to get away with squealing to the authorities, Fat Tony has decided to allow you to help him find the people he’s looking for by finding out which alias belongs to whom.

On even nights, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Converting SMOGON NAME’. That Smogon name’s alias will be revealed to you the next morning.

You know of one other mafia member’s alias:

Luigi Risotto – Azure

If you are killed at night, the leader of the Springfield Mafia subforum will be informed of your killer’s Smogon name.

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: I’m not really a fan of the use of aliases just to stop ‘namekills’, even though I know that is why they were introduced in the first place. I consider it a problem that people can openly claim to be mafia and the village can do next to nothing about it. That’s why I had roles like this in the game. In hindsight, I think a much better idea for a role is one that converts Smogon Names if they know the alliance of the Smogon Name they’re converting. I’m not sure if I’d put it on the mafia either. Nonetheless, this role didn’t prove to be too broken or anything. I restricted it to even nights because I thought it might be too powerful, and it seemed about right. The extra ability at the end was to assist his team with facing the other mafia.

Comments on how the role was played: Jackal played Frankie the Squealer, and he helped lead the Springfield Mafia. He attempted to mole Hipmonlee using 100kvolts but ended up getting a bunch of jumbled information out of it and was pretty easily caught due to not being on at the right times and some miscommunications. That was a bit too ambitious I think. He picked good targets for his abilities but he was a bit annoyed when he found out that Blue Kirby had the same role but every night, when the reason for this was that dak’s team killed someone that wasn’t meant to be killed . It wasn’t his best game, but he didn’t play badly either.

Dear Cyan,

You are: Bart Simpson. You are allied with the Springfield Mafia.

While most of your family decided to align themselves with the Townspeople, you have decided that the Springfield Mafia treats you much better. You don’t want people to know though, and so you’ve come up with a way to disguise yourself from people suspicious of you.

You keep your slingshot on you at all times as you never know when it could be of use. Fat Tony has decided that it will be of use during this game. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Firing Slingshot at USER’. This user will be forced to target you out of annoyance.

If you’re inspected at night, your role will turn up as follows:

Dear Cyan,

You are: Bart Simpson. You are allied with the Townspeople.

You are a juvenile delinquent but not nearly as bad as some other kids. You try to maintain a badass façade while really on the inside you’re quite soft.

At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Riding Skateboard around USER’. That user will be confused into targeting another user at random. You may not use this ability two nights in a row.

You win if the Townspeople win.

You win if the Simpsons win.

The Simpsons win if all users who are not one of the following characters die:
Homer Simpson
Marge Simpson
Bart Simpson
Lisa Simpson
Maggie Simpson

OR

You win if the Springfield Mafia wins.

Comments on the role: The mafia-aligned Simpson. The role PM that came up on inspection was deliberately ambiguous and unlikely to be in the game to make it more difficult to abuse if it was claimed. Martyr was given because it could be very useful in a game with so many killers and inspectors since his team had both a bodyguard and an inspection blocker.

Comments on how the role was played: 100kvolts had this, and he didn’t really play it to its potential. He posted in a weird way where he concluded everything he posted with ~ ^_^ or something I don’t remember, but it didn’t really help when Jackal wanted to pretend it was his alias :nerd:. He basically did what he was told, which mostly included idling. I think the role would’ve been better played by claiming he was a martyr that was disorientated, then if he got inspected he could have claimed that he ‘thought it was martyr’. I’m not sure if he could have played it off, but I think it would’ve turned out better than just idling every single night and eventually getting lynched.


Mr. Burns’ Team

Dear YellowGreen,

You are: Mr. Burns. You are allied with your team.

You are Springfield’s most wealthy citizen and you like to keep the wealth to yourself rather than spreading it around. However, you have decided that you want to take over the town for yourself. You will stop at nothing to take complete control over the town and its citizens and you have gathered a number of different allies to accompany you in your goal. You are an enemy of the Townspeople.

You know of your loyal assistant and advisor:

Waylin Smithers – DarkOrange

It should be a priority to locate the rest of your team.

You have a few tools at your disposal to give you an advantage over the other sides in this game. Once in the game and at night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Have SMOGON NAME assassinated’. You will hire a professional assassin to take out the Smogon user you specify.

Once in the game and at night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Turn Lights up to Hi-Beam’. This will reveal all users that used a night role on this night. Additionally, it will cause any night abilities targeting you to fail.

You have: the Vest.
The Vest is an item. While you have the Vest you are immune to night kills. You may give away the Vest at night by PMing NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Vest to USER’. The Vest will not save someone from using a self-sacrificial role.

You have control of the subforum dedicated to your team – the Springfield Power Plant.

You win if all of the other teams die and at least one of your team members survive.

Comments on the role: Mr. Burns was the figurehead leader of the Burns Mafia. He knew his faithful assistant Smithers and had two one time abilities as well as a BPV item. The assassination ability was completely unblockable, even by Homer Simpson’s TV Watching ability which specified it was immune to everything in the PM. The Hi-Beams, I theorised, would be best used early to work out which aliases have night roles and to stop Burns from going down before he could use his assassination.

Comments on how the role was played: LonelyNess played Mr. Burns. He played reasonably well under the command of dak, creating good fake role PMs for at least two of his teammates for example, but for some reason there was leadership conflict and some jokes were taken too seriously, and LonelyNess decided that the only way he could get revenge on dak for embarrassing him in front of the team and singling him out would be to ruin the entire game while they were winning. I’m pretty sure this guy has changed since then and he won’t let those types of emotions get to him in future! The assassination, in particular, was used very well – it got one of LN’s teammates (Blue Kirby) a permanent Smogon User to Alias conversion. Overall played decently up until the ‘end’, at which point he made one of the (if not the) worst moves ever to be made in Smogon Mafia history.

Dear DarkOrange,

You are: Waylin Smithers. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

You are an excellent employee and the amount of dedication you show to Mr. Burns is extraordinary. Mr. Burns values you above all other employees and is constantly reliant on you to provide what he needs.

One of your main talents is your ability to research users and find out information about them. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Researching USER’. You will research that user that night and come up with their role by the next morning.

Alternatively, you may choose to PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Saving Mr. Burns’. Using this ability will allow you to take any night roles targeting Mr. Burns for him. You may not use this ability at the same time that you use your researching ability.

During the day, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Day (x) – Taking Lynch for Mr. Burns’. This will allow you to take Mr. Burns’ place should he be the one being lynched on that particular day.

You also know that Mr. Burns has the alias YellowGreen.

You win if Mr. Burns wins.

Comments on the role: Self-sacrificial role with full inspector. The sacrificial part was mostly intended to be flavour (much like Peter Petrelli’s exploding ability), but if worst came to worst, Mr. Burns could be used as an item store for his team’s many powerful items and then Smithers could sacrifice before all the items were lost to the scavenger. The inspection gave details about the role to a fair degree, with the win condition and some vague other details.

Comments on how the role was played: Thorns played Waylin Smithers, and he was quite enthusiastic to begin with but this gradually dulled when he realised he would end up as mostly one of dak’s pawns. He did play rather well though, and put more effort in than some of his teammates did. He came up with some key inspection results, including Rainier Wolfcastle (the village’s Vigilante).

Dear SaddleBrown,

You are: Lenny. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

You are a well-educated power plant worker with a very average-looking appearance. You do everything with your colleague Carl Carlson who also does everything with you. You are quite afraid of Mr. Burns but you’ve decided he is your best chance at winning this game.

Alone you are really just an average man but with Carl by your side you can achieve more. If both Carl and yourself have the same lynch target during the day, one extra vote will be added for that lynch target.

Without Carl around you just might go insane.

You know of several others allies of Mr. Burns and their aliases:

Itchy – MediumOrchid
Kang – LightCoral
Moe – Black
Frank Grimes – Ivory

It should be a high priority to find the rest of your team, especially Carl.

You win if Mr. Burns wins.

Comments on the role: Mafia twin thing. If they voted together they counted for three instead of two. If one of them died, the other gained a one time kill. These were close to villagers but they were mafia aligned.

Comments on how the role was played: Lesm46 played this role, and he played way better than some of the people who had night roles because he bothered making a convincing false claim. However, unfortunately I think the character he claimed was already in the game (Rainier Wolfcastle).

Dear GreenYellow,

You are: Carl. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

You are a black American known for being one of the most handsome men in Springfield. You spend your time working at the Power Plant with your best friend Lenny. Mr. Burns treats you with reasonable respect and even gives some preference to you over other workers of equal importance to the Plant.

By yourself you aren’t really too useful, but with Lenny alongside you much more is possible. If both you and Lenny have the same lynch target an extra vote will be added to that target.

If Lenny died you don’t know what you would do.

You have been sent in a team of four users. The other users in your team are:

Scratchy – MediumVioletRed
Kodos – DarkSlateBlue
Snake – Pink

You should attempt to find the remainder of your team as soon as possible, particularly Lenny.

You win if Mr. Burns wins.

Comments on the role: Exactly the same role as Lenny, except black.

Comments on how the role was played: Raikage played Carl, and he helped his team significantly with his ‘good feelings’ about random targets! He suggested Tomato as Gmax’s target and obtained the Gun because of it. Also, Raikage had a pretty good false claim which wasn’t in the game. I am not sure whether he ended up using it, but it was decent nonetheless. He likely helped plan as well, but I wasn’t permitted into the Burns Mafia’s channel for some reason

Dear Ivory,

You are: Frank Grimes. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

You will never forget that Mr. Burns took you in after you had such a hard life. You have always been a hardworking man and now is not the time to quit. You are partially driven by your will to remain competitive and partially driven by your passionate hate for Homer Simpson.

Using hard work and cunning you are capable of converting Smogon names to aliases. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Revealing SMOGON NAME’. The player with the Smogon name specified will have their alias revealed to you the next morning. However, this ability will only be usable up until Day 3 unless Homer Simpson dies prior to this.

At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Terminating USER’. That user will die. This ability can only be used up until Day 3. If the user targeted is Homer Simpson, you will retain your Smogon name conversion ability. If the user targeted is not Homer Simpson, you will go crazy and kill yourself. You may also choose not to use this ability in which case you will receive a newer and lesser power than your old powers.

Mr. Burns has sent you in a team of five people. Your partners include:

Lenny - SaddleBrown
Itchy – MediumOrchid
Kang – LightCoral
Moe – Black

It is in your best interests to locate the rest of your team as soon as possible.

You win if Mr. Burns wins.

Comments on the role: The idea behind this role was to test the idea of a strong ability that only lasts for a limited time unless a goal is achieved, rather than what has been done before (i.e. have a trigger reached then an ability activates, this is the reverse). Basically he had a nightly Smogon Name to Alias conversion power which would only work past Day 3 if he managed to kill Homer Simpson, who was the guy that was going to be immune to Grimes’ ability because he was watching TV every night early on. The setback of this role was also meant to be a negative for the side in exchange for the numbers advantage.

Comments on how the role was played: Blue Kirby played this role very well early on, luring out Hobo Joe and somehow managing to kill him with Mr. Burns’ unblockable kill rather than choosing to use his own on the alias he had obtained from him (which was the correct alias as well). Unfortunately, he wasn’t very active during the later part of the game. I’m sure he would have had a much greater impact if he had been more active.

Dear MediumOrchid,

You are: Itchy. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

You’ve agreed to join Mr. Burns in his attempts to conquer Springfield, but you still hold a grudge against your team mate Scratchy. You are an incredibly violent creature that should not exist outside of cartoons, but for the purposes of this game you are as alive as any other character.

On any even night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Pummelling USER’. You will smash this user to death with a large wooden club.

You have been sent in a team by Mr. Burns. The team members you know of include:

Lenny – SaddleBrown
Kang – LightCoral
Moe – Black
Frank Grimes – Ivory

You win if Mr. Burns wins and Scratchy dies before you do. If neither you nor Scratchy die and the game ends, neither of you will win.

Comments on the role: This role was meant to cause potential disruptions within the side of the Burns Mafia. The win condition setback was another disadvantage placed onto the Burns team in exchange for the numbers disadvantage. Otherwise, this was just a regular even night killer.

Comments on how the role was played: dak played Itchy, and he was definitely one of the most influential and best players in the game. He led his team and organised targets and their spreadsheet which was very detailed and well kept. Early on, he found LonelyNess (Burns) and managed to get the Vest (BPV), presumably having convinced him that he was safer for the team (he wouldn’t kill Scratchy, he would let whichever died first die first). He orchestrated his team’s domination and managed to obtain the help of the neutral scavenger Fishin towards the end of the game, basically sealing their victory, until LonelyNess decided to publish the spreadsheet. It’s a possible view LonelyNess’ reaction as a flaw in dak’s play (he couldn’t keep his team from rebelling against his leadership, which someone like Brain for example definitely could have) but I and everyone else primarily blame LonelyNess for having a dumb reaction. dak definitely put his team in a winning position by the time the game ended.

Dear MediumVioletRed,

You are: Scratchy. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

You’re an extremely violent cat that will stop at nothing to kill your nemesis Itchy. However, for the purposes of this game you are working under Mr. Burns in order to help him take control of Springfield. While you should probably not be existent, for the purposes of this game you are very much alive.

On any odd night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Crushing USER’. The user you target will be crushed under a large mallet and die.

Mr. Burns has decided to send you in groups. Your group consists of:

Carl – GreenYellow
Kodos – DarkSlateBlue
Snake – Pink

You win if Mr. Burns wins and Itchy dies before you do. If neither you nor Scratchy die and the game ends, neither of you will win.

Comments on the role: Same as Itchy but kills on Odd nights instead.

Comments on how the role was played: I was kind of expecting Toothache to be the one that decided to kill dak early on (based on what happened in DBZ Mafia), but this was sorted out early and they most likely came to a mutual agreement. He claimed neutral Scratchy which a lot of people seemed to believe, which was pretty clever. Toothache played rather well in this game in my opinion, but he ended up losing because he got lynched right before the game’s conclusion.

Dear LightCoral,

You are: Kang. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

You and your fellow alien Kodos were contacted by Mr. Burns who proposed that the two of you team up with him in order to take over Springfield. This seemed like a good idea, and so here you are.

Due to your lack of frequency in communication with Earthlings, your posts must always contain certain words. Any post you make must begin with ‘Greetings’ or contain ‘Earthlings’ or contain ‘foolish’ or contain ‘overlord’ or end with ‘End communication’. Additionally, you must post at least one instance of each of the above at some point during the game.

You have: the Ray Gun.
The Ray Gun is an item. The Ray Gun is an advanced piece of alien technology. While holding the Ray Gun at night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Stun USER’ OR ‘Night (x) – Fry USER’. The Ray Gun starts with 10 charges. Each time the Fry function is used 3 charges are removed. Each time the Stun function is used 2 charges are removed. Stunning a user prevents them from using a night ability on the night the stunning occurs. You may not stun the same user two nights in a row. Frying a user kills the user.

After observing Earthlings for some time from space, you have learnt how to blend in with them. If you are inspected at night the user who inspects you will be told that you are Dr. Zoidberg.

The following are some of the users that are on your team:

Lenny – SaddleBrown
Itchy – MediumOrchid
Moe – Black
Frank Grimes – Ivory

You win if Mr. Burns wins.

Comments on the role: The first part of the role is a setback in the form of a posting restriction which I thought was pretty cool and enjoyable. The second part is the item. Originally this item was going to have a twist where setting it to Fry would perform the Stun function and vice versa, but I decided against this in the end. The Ray Gun held very strong powers, but it was vulnerable not only to having the holder killed but being stolen, which was why it was a part of this role on this faction.

Comments on how the role was played: Amelia played Kang, and I think he mostly did what he was told by dak. He may also have planned a little. I’m pretty sure he enjoyed his posting restriction, and I’m glad about that! End communication.

Dear DarkSlateBlue,

You are: Kodos. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

You are known to be the lesser of the two aliens but you are a valuable team mate to Mr. Burns nonetheless. The offer of potentially taking over all of Springfield was too great for you to resist.

Due to your lack of frequency in communication with Earthlings, your posts must always contain certain words. Any post you make must begin with ‘Greetings’ or contain ‘Earthlings’ or contain ‘foolish’ or contain ‘overlord’ or end with ‘End communication’. Additionally, you must post at least one instance of each of the above at some point during the game.

You have: the UFO.
The UFO is an item. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Abducting USER’. This user will be taken into the UFO and will be unable to use night abilities or post until they are released. If a user is contained in the UFO and it is night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Releasing USER’. The user will then be released from the UFO. You may not abduct and release a user on the same night.

You know for sure that the following users are on your side for this game:

Carl – GreenYellow
Scratchy – MediumVioletRed
Snake – Pink

You win if Mr. Burns wins.

Comments on the role: The same as Kang, except with a portable kidnapping item instead. It held the same vulnerabilities as the Ray Gun.

Comments on how the role was played: Kodos was played by twash, and I’m pretty sure twash just did what he was told and hung around. I don’t really remember him doing anything, but that is both good and bad because it means he did nothing wrong!

Dear Black,

You are: Moe. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

While Moe’s Tavern is an honest enough business, you constantly run shady operations behind the scenes. Mr. Burns picked up on your dishonesty and your desperate desire to become successful and decided to recruit you for his team with which he plans to take over Springfield.

While you have refused to leave your bar, you are still of use to Mr. Burns as you can intoxicate users with alcohol. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Offering Booze to USER’. That user will be prevented from carrying out their night action as they will be too drunk to complete it properly. The user that user was targeting, if any, will receive a message saying that the drunk user turned up in a confused state and decided to leave.

The following users are known to be on your team:

Lenny – SaddleBrown
Itchy – MediumOrchid
Kang - LightCoral
Frank Grimes – Ivory

You should try to locate your other team members as soon as possible.

You win if Mr. Burns wins.

Comments on the role: Hooker with a slight twist that I quite liked, but nobody carried it on as far as I know. I thought the mafia could do with a hooker, and the character is one that might not necessarily be on the mafia which was important for this theme.

Comments on how the role was played: Sonuis played Moe. He hooked an NPC on Night 0 and then the really weak cookie on Night 1, and then he was alliance checked and lynched. I don’t think he did very much other than remain mysterious when people talked to him. Almost as quiet as Twash!

Dear Pink,

You are: Snake. You are allied with Mr. Burns.

Mr. Burns has employed you to steal things for him. In return, you’re going to be one of that people controlling the new Springfield after Mr. Burns takes over it. That means you’ll never have to visit a jail cell again.

The thing that separates you from other thieves is your inability to be stopped from getting what you aim for. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Robbing USER’. If that user is holding an item you will steal it from them. Your action cannot be prevented by users targeting you, such as hookers.

Mr. Burns has sent you out in a team with the following users:

Carl – GreenYellow
Scratchy – MediumVioletRed
Kodos – DarkSlateBlue

You should attempt to find the rest of your team quickly.

You win if Mr. Burns wins.

Comments on the role: Snake was placed on the Burns Mafia because they didn’t have a thief. He was basically a thief that couldn’t be prevented by hookers. Snake was a significantly worse thief than Jimmy the Snitch who was on the opposing mafia.

Comments on how the role was played: Snake was played by Gmax, who played well. He was one of the more active Burns Mafia members, and he managed to steal quite a number of items as a thief, including the Drugs and the Gun. Although he was a much worse thief than GTS power-wise, he ended up stealing a lot more and playing better (although to be fair GTS didn’t really get a chance).

The Neutrals

Dear BlanchedAlmond,

You are: Kent Brockman. You have a neutral alliance.

Despite recent events you will continue to broadcast every morning. You don’t really care who wins the conflict as long as you do your job as a reporter properly.

Your main goal is to publicise your reports on certain users, and thanks to television this is made easy. At night, you may send a PM to NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Publicising USER’. That user’s Smogon name will be publicly revealed at the beginning of the next morning. You may not target users who have already been publicised.

You win if at least three of the users you publicise are alive at the end of the game.

Comments on the role: I really, really liked this role! It was basically a role whose win condition meant that the team had to dominate and that he had to survive long enough to work out which team would do this. Brockman had to put members of the teams out in the open, and then those same members had to survive and win. It also contributed towards the idea that players shouldn’t be able to just hide behind their aliases the whole game, which was one of the things I aimed for.

Comments on how the role was played: billymills played Kent Brockman, and I think he played pretty well. It would have been interesting to see this role go lategame, because it might have played a major role in deciding what happens and would have been fun to observe. Overall I was happy with billymills’ play this game.

Dear BlueViolet,

You are: Barney Gumble. You have a neutral alliance.

Your name is Barney Gumble and you’re an alcoholic. You have recently been living on the streets as the Townspeople have high standards and something is up with Moe.

Thanks to your desperation you have been forced to search the streets and recently corpses for anything that might be of value. If a user dies and they were holding an item, you will take it off their body and keep it for yourself. You’re aware that certain users may want the items for themselves so you should be cautious of certain individuals.

You win if you are still alive at the end of the game.

Comments on the role: Auto-scavenger with a hint about both Moe and Disco Stu. This role was a ‘win if survive’ role, but it was obviously one that would receive a lot of attention in a game full of powerful items. In addition, the village scavenger needed him dead to start scavenging, which I thought would be interesting because of the high value of scavengers in this game.

Comments on how the role was played: Fishin played Barney, and he played really well. He remained relatively silent for some time, but then he received all of thunda’s really strong items and went to the strongest side with them (Mr. Burns’ Mafia) and was about to start working with them, which would have basically won them the game. Well played game by Fishin.

Dear LightSeaGreen,

You are: Professor Frink. You have a neutral alliance.

You are an inventor and you don’t really care about which side wins as you have a plan to escape all the sides anyway. You have been planning for some time how you will do this but overnight some things went wrong.

You know that in order to get what you need you are going to need to have something to offer people. You have invented a device that will allow you to forward this role PM to users in order to convince them that you are in fact who you claim to be. You can use this device by sending a PM to NavajoWhite at night with ‘Night (x) – Sending Proof to USER’. That user will receive your role PM the next morning.

Your other more important ability involves your talent in constructing items. You aren’t really looking for weapons but if you can obtain certain devices like a Speaker or a Flux Capacitor, you may be able to make something out of them. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Inventing with ITEMS’. You may list as many items as you have here and if any can be improved or changed you will potentially create a new item.

As certain users die you will receive information about what needs to be done to create certain items.

You win if you successfully travel through time to the end of the game.

Comments on the role: This role basically needed to get a bunch of items and create a time machine to win. No other role in the game except Barney would have found the time machine to be a useful item. The items he could create included the time machine which was made while holding the goggles or glasses and inventing using the flux capacitor and the magnet, a hooker item made with the syringe and the drugs, and an item that would allow Maggie and silenced users to speak which was made with the Speakers.

Comments on how the role was played: blue_light played Professor Frink, and his mafia debut wasn’t really very good. He found the village but decided to claim neutral instead of village (I guess it wasn’t that obvious that he should have claimed village, especially with the option to forward his role PM through the host) to them. He didn’t manage to collect any of the items he needed for a while, with porygon3 hoarding a bunch of the items that were on the village that he needed. This role had a lot of potential if the user was active and knew what he was doing, but blue_light seemed rather aimless in this particular game. He has gotten much better at mafia since, though… I think this was a tough role for him to start off with, unfortunately. Blame random.org!

Dear DarkGray,

You are: Dr. Nick. You have a neutral alliance.

You are a sub-standard doctor but unlike others you are willing to perform feats of protection for any side. You are an incredibly friendly and well known man but you are still outclassed by doctors such as Dr. Hibbert.

At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Injecting USER’. This user will hopefully be cured of anything that is wrong with them and should be prevented from dying on this night. In order to make a living for yourself you must use this ability every night without fail.

Comments on the role: The win condition was deliberately omitted from this role, and it was ‘You win if you kill at least three people.’ However, I wanted him to believe that he was protecting people with his injections until one of them died, at which point he would go insane and receive that win condition. This was Simpsons Mafia’s equivalent of the Faith Healer from Mafia mafia. I just noticed that I didn’t mention this: the injections he was giving were actually lethal, they were just delayed over a few nights.

Comments on how the role was played: Altmer played this role, and he just sent in night actions. He eventually was randomly killed, unfortunately. I don’t think he even talked to anyone about the game at all, he just injected people… Maybe he worked it out? I don’t know. He didn’t even ask me about the lack of a win condition. This was another cool neutral role given to a completely new player. Makes me wish I had rigged experienced players to neutral roles!

Dear WhiteSmoke,

You are: Sideshow Bob. You have a neutral alliance.

You would’ve been happy if Krusty had just accepted you as his sidekick but instead he rejected you. Sure. You can deal with that. You just want revenge. Unfortunately, you have been outsmarted multiple times by a certain child named Bart. And as if that wasn’t enough, every time it seems like you’ve won and there is no longer a way out for your victims, there are always people around to stop you at the last moment. Well that’s not going to happen again. You’re more than prepared. This time it is ‘kill or be killed’, and it is everyone else that is going to be killed.

You can’t afford to be figured out, that is for sure. You have taken a number of precautions to prevent that. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Disguising self as USER’ OR ‘Night (x) – Creating new Identity’. If you choose to disguise yourself as a user and you are inspected at any point, the inspector will receive details about the user that you disguised yourself as. If you choose to create a new identity, the content of the PM that is sent with that title will become the inspection result they receive upon inspecting you. This could be a role PM or something as simple as ‘DIE BART DIE’.

As an additional precaution, you have constructed a robot whose alias is Moccasin. On this robot you have cleverly inscribed ‘Property of Krusty the Clown’. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Instructing Robot to Lynch USER’ OR ‘Night (x) – Instructing Robot to PM USER’. If you choose to instruct the robot to lynch a user, the lynch vote will be posted by the robot soon after the new day begins. If you choose for the robot to PM a user, you will be required specify the title and content of the PM inside the PM you send. If you die while the robot is still functioning it will selfdestruct.

You have: the Knife.
The Knife is an item. The Knife can be used to stab people. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Mercilessly stabbing USER to death’. The user you specify will be mercilessly stabbed to death that night. You may also choose to give the knife to another user. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Knife to USER’. The user you specify will receive the knife the next morning. You may not stab with the Knife on the same night you give it to a user.

You have: the Time Bomb.
The Time Bomb is an item. The Time Bomb will only appear to be a Time Bomb if it has not been set. Should any other user receive this item after it has been set it will be described as a ticking box. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Setting Time Bomb to Y nights’. The time bomb will be set to explode after Y nights. You may also choose to give away the Time Bomb by PMing NavajoWhite at night with ‘Night (x) – Giving Time Bomb to USER’. That user will receive the Time Bomb the next morning. You may not set the Time Bomb and give it away on the same night.

You have: the Syringe.
The Syringe is an item. The Syringe can be used to inject users with poison which takes three nights to take effect. The user will be informed of feeling nauseated at the start of the second night after being poisoned. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Injecting USER’. That user will become poisoned. You may also choose to give the Syringe to another user by PMing NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Syringe to USER’. That user will receive the Syringe the next morning. You may not inject a user and give away the Syringe on the same night.

You have: the Nuclear Warhead.
The Nuclear Warhead is an item. You have determined the Nuclear Warhead to be capable of killing a user plus anybody that user targeted that night plus any user that targeted that user that night. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Detonating Warhead near to USER’. That user and any users that user is nearby on this night will die. You may also choose to give the Nuclear Warhead to another user by PMing NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Giving Nuclear Warhead to USER’. That user will receive the Nuclear Warhead the next morning. After the Nuclear Warhead is detonated it will no longer exist.

You may only use one of the above items on any one night. If at any point you lose all of your items, a new ability will be gained.

You win if you are the only user alive at the end of the game.

Comments on the role: The wolf of this game. I regret making the Knife an item; it should have been part of his role. The Knife was easily better than the other weapons; it would have been a much better idea to make the Knife a regular ability and leave the other ‘fun’ weapons to be used as the wolf saw fit. The Nuclear Warhead was a joke item; it didn’t actually do anything except tell the user that it was a dud (after they used it) and make everyone worry and be frightened of such a horrific weapon (which, coincidentally, occurred in an episode of The Simpsons). The Syringe would make someone die in three nights time unless they were cured, and the Time Bomb was just a really cool item that would just say ‘You received a black box that seems to be ticking’ when received assuming it was activated. The robot was an NPC that the wolf could use to talk to people anonymously which I thought was cool as well. The wolf also had a permanent disguise ability, but was very wolf prone and risked conflicting with the real roles in this strictly themed game. If he lost all his items he would become a thief so he could get them back!

Comments on how the role was played: Thunda played Sideshow Bob, and he did an excellent job of it. He did claim two different things to different people and wasn’t aware of this mistake spreading to the village, but they didn’t know his alias and with the disguise I am pretty sure he could’ve covered it up. Some of the time he was communicating with others he used nicknames like Erika so that he could communicate anonymously while claiming many roles to confuse people. He fooled Jenigmat using Moccasin which was hilarious, but it only lasted until zerowing contacted him. He claimed to be Kif and used that as his disguise (a Futurama character, as these hadn’t been expressly stated to be not in the game at any point – Amelia’s inspection result would come up as Dr. Zoidberg for example) and claimed that he was receiving missions. This seemed to believed by most people, and Thunda was doing excellently up until he was randomly killed by a village vigilante. He was planning on giving his items to the disadvantaged Springfield Mafia (minus the Knife obviously) which would have put them right back into the game, but instead they went to Fishin who was going to side with the Mr. Burns Mafia. Thunda also trolled me and the people he killed by creating several next-to-pointless subforums and one subforum where he added the people he killed without telling them who he was (called The Departed). It was very enjoyable to watch Thunda play as Sideshow Bob, and he even had a well-constructed spreadsheet! A well played game by Thunda.

Dear HotPink,

You are: Herman. You have a neutral alliance.

You own a Military Antiques store where you hoard all kinds of weapons, but for this game you’ve decided you want to have some fun. Instead of using the weapons you already have, you’re going to be finding a new weapon to kill with.

While you only have one arm, you are still a great strategist and robbery is almost second nature to you. Having such a handicap only makes things more challenging and you’re always up for a challenge. At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Stealing from USER’. If that user has an item you will take it.

Once in the game at night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Finding ITEM’. This will find exactly which alias has the item at the time you locate it.

You win if you kill at least one user from each faction before the game ends. You are not required to kill any users with neutral alliances to win.

Comments on the role: My attempt at another balanced neutral that is against all sides. I don’t really like item locators, so I made it a one time locator with a thief ability. The idea was he would wait until he found out the name of a killing item, then he would steal it and perform his kills to win. I quite liked this role.

Comments on how the role was played: StrangerDanger played this role, and I’m not really sure what he was doing… He attempted to find the ‘Machete’ on Night 0 (which didn’t exist), but he was luckily abducted by Twash’s UFO. However, when he was placed back down he decided to attempt to find another non-existent item, the Sawed-off Shotgun.

Night 2


From: HotPink
To: NavajoWhite
Steal from LightCoral
Finding Sawed-Off Shotgun

Is the find option really only one-use?

So yeah, StrangerDanger didn’t seem to understand how that role worked. He also didn’t answer his PM when aamto made a recruitment offer to him (which would have given the Springfield Mafia another thief, putting them back into the game) which was strange as well. Not such a good performance by StrangerDanger.

Dear SkyBlue,

You are: Homer Simpson. You have a neutral alliance.

You are a stereotypical idiot and over the years you have done so many things that nobody knows what you’re best at. For the purposes of this game you’ll be good at pretty much everything.

At night, you may PM NavajoWhite with ‘Night (x) – Watching TV’. If you do this, you will be immune to all night abilities but you will be unable to post a lynch vote the next day. This ability cannot be used at the same time as any other abilities.

You cannot hold items.

At the end of each day you will receive an ability that you may use for the next night. This ability will change at the end of every day. You will never retain an old ability other than Watching TV.

You win if the Simpsons win.

The Simpsons win if all users who are not one of the following characters die:
Homer Simpson
Marge Simpson
Bart Simpson
Lisa Simpson
Maggie Simpson

Comments on the role: Finally, Homer Simpson. This role was designed to endure through the whole game and come out late to hopefully win with whichever Simpsons were still alive, if he played well enough. The abilities he received (in order that he would receive them) were: Watcher, Alliance Checker, Item Bodyguard, Thief (if he used this, the item would instantly go to the scavenger), Bodyguard, Alias to Smogon Name Conversion, Rogue, Martyr, Inspector, Silencer, Hooker, Persuader, Kill, Redirector. If the game lasted longer than that, the final three abilities would cycle. I thought this idea was a pretty good original role, and I also liked the way it fit with having the Simpsons on various factions yet still with a chance to win with this role if their faction was doing terribly.

Comments on how the role was played: Hobo Joe played this role, and he contacted Blue Kirby when Blue Kirby posted requesting that Homer contact him in the main thread (Blue Kirby was Frank Grimes). He probably thought he was not able to be harmed and coming into contact with the other Simpsons, but this wasn’t the case and he ended up getting assassinated by the unblockable kill that Mr. Burns had. Sorry for the misleading ability description, Hobo Joe; I guess I could suggest that it be taken the same way a killer is told that his target will die when obviously there’s a chance that the target won’t die because of them being protected by a bodyguard or bulletproof vest. Contacting someone early probably wasn’t a good idea, though I can’t really blame him.

I hope everyone enjoyed playing my game, I know I enjoyed hosting for the limited time I was able to. Maybe you’ll see another of my large games in the future after the zillion games people have made finish up!

Thanks to Gouki and Junior for helping me come up with some of the original roles.

Thanks to jumpluff for offering to co-host out of nowhere and doing such a great job of organisation; my efforts would have been much messier and I wouldn't have had anywhere near as much hosting success without your help!

(the spreadsheet is here)

Tell me if I missed or forgot something please. Thanks everyone for reading!

[19:02:03] <@dak> Comments on how the role was played: Blue Kirby played this role very well early on, luring out Hobo Joe and somehow managing to kill him with Mr. Burns’ unblockable kill rather than choosing to use his own on the alias he had obtained from him (which was the correct alias as well). Unfortunately, he wasn’t very active during the later part of the game. I’m sure he would have had a much greater impact if he had been more active.
[19:02:05] <@dak> this is wrong as well
[19:02:08] <@dak> we didnt get his alias
[19:02:11] <@dak> as bk was distracted

I only meant to imply the unlucky thing, and Blue Kirby had gotten his alias through talking to him if I recall correctly, but as it wasn't 100% confirmed you took the 'less risky' option of having him assassinated by Smogon Name.

Earthworm's right, I recall laughing at Hobo Joe that he did actually give BK his real alias after he died.

Ah yes, the last word in my posting restriction...

"Greetings, foolish Earthlings, and know that your overlord has arrived to take over the world. End communications."

Unfortunately i died before i could post it, thus ensuring that I could never win the game anymore.

Also, i find it ironic that I still haven't got Mr.Burns spreadsheet yet!

Amelia, I gave it to you! Thanks for hosting this game Earthworm, I really enjoyed it! dak led the team really well, and we would probably have won this game if it had lasted till the end.

It sucked that we never really got to use our broken role's ability to the fullest =/ because of a ridiculous series of events. N0 he got Magnetised. N1 he got Joe's alias. (useless ultimately since we got nothing out of it ~_~) N2 he found Mekkah who was also publicised by Mills. N3 he didn't send his PM in. N4 we got Fishin who came up to us himself during the day with his alias. N5 we were getting Bass, but the game ended at that point thanks to LN.

The Drugs were pretty great, and getting them early on granted me immunity from thieves, which allowed me to hoard stuff without worrying. Also, Vampy34 is seriously unlucky ;(

btw

FUCK YOU LONELYNESS

i recall laughing at you completely ruining a good game of mafia

ps earthworm that is a hideous runon sentence in my paragraph

thanks for hosting

This was a fun game, though I just laid low early on aside from establishing contacts on both mafia teams. The deal with all of the Simpson members being a member of their own secret faction in addition to being aligned with the others was actually a rather cool feature and having Homer with no other alliance would've forced him to try and unite it himself, though I think it would've been better if it hadn't been revealed upon their deaths.

a bit too ambitious is right, but I really wanted to try it lol. it was fun while it lasted!!
