{Spoiler}... An
Umbrella Infiltrator!He showed up as town on any investigation checks - AKA, Godfather!
And with that...
TOWN WIN!Official scoreboard: Town 2 - 9 Mafia
So the two survivors - h2f was indeed the doctor, while Kira was another Vanilla townie.
"So Steele - why the fuck were there so many VTs?" I hear you cry. Well I'll tell you.
I didn't want to flood the game with overpowered roles on either side. The scum team were a lot weaker than my previous game where oversight on my part allowed them to stack huge powers to basically steamroll the last couple of days without opposition.
This time round, the role of Inventor (Vastrix) was intended to distribute items each night - some good, some useless - in order to add some extra one-shot powers to the game. Unfortunately, another oversight on my part didn't account for him being killed on day 2 and only sending out one item...
He sent this to Mongo.
{Spoiler}
The rest of the items were as follows:
GREEN HERB – 1x Bulletproof against all kills but the player would be HATED the next day and require one less vote to lynch (following the RE canon that green herbs heal you, but not fully)
VACCINE – 1x Bulletproof against Mavericks virus kill
BULLETPROOF VEST – 1x Bulletproof against gun kills
SMALL KEY – 1x Commute ability
DESERT EAGLE – 1x Vigilante shot
CASSETTE TAPE – 1x Lie detector ability
STARS BADGE – 1x Cop check
MANIFEST – This item would give Vastrix an encrypted item list
E-VIRUS FILE – Would explain more about Mavericks special kill (but would not identify him to town)
INK RIBBON – 1x messenger ability
PERSONAL FILE – 1x Blackmail ability like Drago had
9mm PARABELLUM ROUNDS – 1x Doublevote
And an assortment of useless items; CRANK, JILL SANDWICH, RED JEWEL, ROOKIE PICTURE, CLOSET KEY, ELECTRONIC PARTS
Looking back, I think I should have probably gone with my original idea of not using an Inventor role, but having a random player gain a random item (via an Item Box) each night.
As for Mav’s power – it worked on Dylan inasmuch as it turned him into a zombie albeit with a 12-hour delay. Dylan (the only player hit by the virus) was told at daybreak that he "felt weird" but I don't think he picked up on it. That was meant to be a clue for people who got hit by it to potentially be able to deduce that they were the nightkill target.
It didn’t fail at all, though it was blocked a couple of times by the doctor – and it WOULD have hit the magic 5% on one night if h2f hadn’t stepped in.
That 5% chance would have seen the infected townie become a zombie after 12 hours as standard, BUT behind the scenes their character would have mutated into a TYRANT...
One of these...
{Spoiler}
The Mafia would have been able to call on this Tyrant from the next game day, and inflict a free kill on a townie. Town got lucky, if they’d managed to deploy the Tyrant then the game could have ended very differently...
Anyway, thank you all for playing – it’s good to see Town get another win for the first time in what feels like forever! H2f was definitely Town's MVP during this game, she made three successful saves, one of which stopped Kuroi becoming a Tyrant, along with pushing hard on the scum team for the last couple of days.
