Role List

TI- Lookout and Invest

TS- Escort and Retributionist

TP- Doctor

TK- Veteran

RM- Forger

NB- Amnesiac

NK-Serial Killer

NE- Executioner

Any-Serial Killer I am escort

N1: I do not roleblock N1

D2: Our veteran didn't alert N1, gets killed by Mafia. Serial Killer A kills the investigator, and jailor dies by jailing Serial Killer B(Can't execute N1). We lynch the Serial Killer and move on,

N2: Roleblock someone trying to find the other SK, end up roleblocking one of the lookouts.

D3: Doctor dies to

SK (already used self-heal N1). Mafia hit an immune who we learn was the executioner. Retributionist revives our jailor. We learn that our Amnesiac has remembered Serial Killer. Figures, right? Anyways, our lookout had watched the Doctor the night before. We lynch the person who visited our poor doc, and we kill Serial Killer A.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">N3: Since there is a SK still, I try random Roleblocking, and I hit the guy who will end up being the godfather.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">D4: First lookout (the one who caught Serial Killer A) is  stabbed by Serial Killer C (Amnesiac turned Serial Killer). Jailor executes the forger. Mafia hit an immune target who we learn was Serial Killer C. Luckily for us, the other lookout in the game catches Serial Killer C in the act. We lynch him and move on.

<p style="font-weight:normal;"> N4: Since there were

<p style="font-weight:normal;"> no mafia kills, I decide to roleblock the same guy, hoping there is an AFK mafia killing. Turns out he was jailed on this night (but I only discovered that after the game).

<p style="font-weight:normal;"> D5: Random town lookout dies to mafia. This happened to be the executioner's target, so he is now a jester. The town decides that the executioner (as we knew him) cannot live (because in the case that one mafia is executed and I roleblock the wrong target, we don't have enough votes to get the last mafia hung), so we decide to hang him. Thus, we hang the jester, making only the confirmed retributionist vote just in case of jester. When we see the message, we knew we had a problem.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;"> At this point there are

<p style="font-weight:normal;">A doomed retributionist.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">A confirmed jailor <p style="font-weight:normal;">An unconfirmed escort (me)

<p style="font-weight:normal;">A mafioso

<p style="font-weight:normal;">A godfather

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">For town to win, we have to do something perfect. The jailor must first jail a mafia member, but he has three targets to choose from and only two mafia (2/3). He must also execute the target, though he would most certainly do that with any target. I must also, if he does choose a mafia member, roleblock the other one because they will kill the jailor, but I don't know which one to roleblock because the jailor didn't reveal his choice, thus I have 1/2 shot here. Thus, town has a 1/3 chance of even having a chance to win day six.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">N5: Jailor doesn't jail me, and I roleblock a target. Let's see what happens.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">D6: Retributionist dies to jester haunt. Jailor executes mafioso, and I just so happen to roleblock the godfather. I tell jailor that I am escort, and he believes me. The godfather claims escort, but the jailor had jailed him N4, and the godfather had claimed Sheriff. Too many Town Investigatives had been killed. Thus, we lynch the godfather and secure a decisive town win.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">With 3 Serial Killers, 3 mafia, and a executioner turned jester, town still manages to win.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">A few concerns I had though that would have made this game much less tense.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">1) Why did the jailor not execute the town investigative claim on N4? Turns out that the jailor was AFK during that one night, and didn't execute him.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">2) Why would an amnesiac choose Serial Killer in that case? Apparently the amnesiac loves the Serial Killer role, and, up to that point, had never lost a game as Serial Killer.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">3) Why would Serial Killer C go for a confirmed lookout when he can kill the jailor and blame the death on anoth

<p style="font-weight:normal;">er person? He says afterwards that he would have likely been lynched right afterwards, so he decided it was not in his best interest.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">4) Why would the jailor not jail the guy he knew was mafia to avoid the two thirds chance of him getting a mafia member? The jailor said that he didn't have much time, as he just returned from being AFK, and had just chosen the first person on the drop down list. Luckily, it was mafia.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">5) Why would the jailor execute the forger in that case? Besides, look at the name of the forger, it is "Jailor's Cat"! C'mon man! Anyways, the jailor told me after the game that the forger had very stupidly claimed retributionist when the retributionist's identity had already been confirmed.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">

<p style="font-weight:normal;">BTW, the picure taken of the final lynching has the jailor saying, "I actually trusted you." and "Until Now". This was absolute banter that was laughed about after the game. He tried to make

<p style="font-weight:normal;">an "unpleasant loss" for the Serial Killers (as he called it) seem ''"fun and light-hearted". '' <ac_metadata title="Three SK game in Ranked?"> </ac_metadata>
