    Mafia 16-House of MTR Episode 1 - The Not-so Civil War

    As Violina looked on at the destruction raised by the revenge, she smiled. Also she frowned. With Violina, her facial expression was determined by your frame of reference (both in physical space and time).

    For an individual in a certain physical space, the frown was what they saw. For another, the smile shined upon them. And for one who was in an earlier time, a look of hope shone through.

    While Violina's omnipresence permeated the hearts and minds of all who reason, a phone rang.


    As Tildey picked it up, a raspy voice spoke. In a tone that seemed to somehow convey that individual speaking had not had a drop of water in years. But somehow they persisted.

    "please.....help me......"

    An insight reasonated.

    "LISTO! Is that you? We thought you were gone!"

    "Please....stillll......in hell.....it was all......a lie"

    "Listo, where are you?"


    "In hell........kinda thought i made that clear.....I'm sorry.....all the hellfire has made me cranky.......that was uncalled for"

    "It's ok. How can we help?"


    "Must find......the key......must find the key"

    The line went silent

    "Listo! Listo! Bark twice if you're in Milwaukee!"

    The line stayed silent.



    Tildey called out

    "HOUSE OF MTR, ASSEMBLE!"

    Not Suspicious Future immediately kicked the chessboard that Diva and lettuce were seated at. "NO TIME FOR STRATEGY! WE'RE NEEDED IN THE LIVING ROOM!"

    As the House assembled, Tildey explained the call she had just received.

    Mtr was the first to speak. "I worry about listo, and he's definitely a nice guy...". As he was talking the House agreed with a chorus of "Yep. "great guy", "helluva ballplayer", and similar sentiments. Mtr continued "But the thing is.....I mean, we just got things back to normal after the year we had where the Earth was basically a hellscape. Are we really in a position to be trying to fight our way into Hell, so soon?"

    Diva looked at his old man. "Come on, it wasn't that bad."

    Mtr was incredulous. "Not that bad? We fucking fought Danny Devito and Psych for control of Europe! We relied on our mafia friends and Jay Baruchel to overthrow Jennifer Lawrence and the Robot Devil! There's literally no way for me to overstate how weird and hellish that was!"

    Tildey said "You raise a good point, dear. But this is listo. What kind of world will our kids grow up in without listo? And honestly....what would Dan the Dad do?"

    Mtr was taken aback "Don't you bring Dan into this! We'd have to go traversing all around to find this key!"

    Tildey cried "But who are we....as a people and a family.....if we leave Listo to rot in hell"

    The family argued through the night. Lettuce nervously laid out a search grid. Her concerns on feasibility and whether a search grid this size was even feasible. Lettuce looked at Tildey with trepidation. Future was placing supplies in the car. Mtr just kept unloading them. Then mtr thought tildey might be right. So he started loading. The made future and Diva rethink their stance. So they started unloading everything mtr had packed. Meanwhile, Lettuce and Tildey argued strategy and feasibility until neither could remember where they stood.




    Across the road, a well-dressed man stared at the House's house. Another figure approached him.

    "Ah, Morrison.....is it done then?"

    "It is."

    "Perfect. We know the House will act. But they still don't know who they really are. As long as they divide, we should be fine"

    Morri winked. "Don't worry. I've made the deal. Division is assured"

    Gentleman John Marcone     smiled. "Still nothing else is assured. Best leave no detail to chance"






    In another time, a figure sat by his laptop. He was just about to sign-up on a new forum. He briefly stopped to watch his favorite movie "The Santa Clause". He smiled, as he thought to himself about all the fun and puns he would have on this new forum.

    In the room adjacent to him, a small blue light began to shimmer.

    I just read through all the vote posts when i was spreadsheeting. One thing I noted was that a lot of actions don't have named targets. Take a look through, and maybe you'll have a similar conclusion.

    lol. Like it seems less than 50. But I can talk myself in and out of almost anyone at this point.

    I think people were fairly high percentage on Mick yesterday, so par for the course. Everyone criticized the shot, but bet he wasn't the only one who would have done that with a vig.

    So....I don't know.....par for the fucking course, and mafia makes dummies out of all of us I guess.

    No, but that is my point. Rhea has said a bunch things that could really be read both ways. So why are we killing them instead of a scummier person?
    Click to expand...
    Well, I don't actually think you consider them to be scummy You've had them in your most trusted town, including higher than a person who got poisoned at one point.

    I'm happy to listen to an argument on Cody over. Haven't debated it being worthwhile once

    I have Rhea ruled out of a lot of town roles, and they could be almost any of the scum roles. And I've got some gameplay things I see.

    Cody we think could be the SK, but I also have this "Badger hadn’t seen much action, but now was his time to shine. Badger had always spun a good yarn and he found Cody Rhodes and got into a really deep discussion on what it meant to finish the story. While they spoke, Badger was trying to ascertain what Cody Rhodes was really thinking.",

    I don't think anyone has come forward with dees, so while I am not debating that it could be a good kill, there's at least some base chance to think we could be wrong there.

    If I didn't more read it as something that could work 3p (would a result be "Not town" or "Not scum"), there's at least enough mitigation that we should consider. If there's not dees, then even in a deceptive 3rd party phrasing, you'd probably eliminate from most scum roles?

    Maybe I'm an idiot (something I never rule out), and I missed the dees or some other big glaring sign, but that's where I think it's at least a discussion.

    And if I've missed something, I'll happily change.

    I'm typing this pretty fast so I'm sorry if I come off as abrasive

    But I feel like most of the reasons to think that Rhea is scum are pretty silly/plausibly explainable to be coming from a town POV

    There is their vote on D3 over either of the wagoned wolves. But I maintain that it is very plausible that the wolves weren't actually trying to save Glinda with the exception of the two already outed wolves. There are three wolves still alive. There is only one unflipped person on your wagon. So clearly the wolves weren't all trying to save Glinda there. It's possible that Rhea voted you before I pointed out that Glinda was outed but, uh, I'd say that they had a pretty good reason for it considering that you killed them prior to that.

    So it's just a bunch of reasons that aren't exactly a great look for Rhea but could also be a townie who just said a couple of ill worded sentences and voted the wrong person once and I'm sitting here all confused wondering if that is really the best that we as a collective can do today.

    The reasons that make me think that Rhea might be town are:

    1) I like this person
    2) They started the day alluding to having some town role and speculated about what Merlin's role could be based on their own role. They obviously provided no evidence for it but in my experience those kinds of posts are very often just townies being truthful about their role. If your experience is different, then that is a fair rebuttal.
    3)They are being voted by people who I either don't entirely trust, or outright suspect. Now that point is especially important to me right now because with how close to reaching parity with the town the wolves are I don't see why they wouldn't just stack on a villager today to seal the deal. This wagon on Rhea with the only other alternative being the SK candidate makes me very worried that town is sleepwalking into a loss.

    That's fine, but you're kind of using a double standard. Other people are engaging in analysis, and you have been at conclusion for a few days. I went through multiple reasons why Rhea could be scum or OMGSUS. For you, it reads as every incident is confirmation you are correct.

    In your own post, you say there are things that don't look good, but simultaneously dismiss them as silly.

    And you could pretty much read your own reasons as could be from another perspective as well.

    1. Ok. That's been pretty apparent
    2. If they were scum they could also understand what Pug did and say that. But I will acknowledge its at least a salient point.
    3. Yes, that is a concern. They also have some sound people on. And there are only a few that are sound. So it could be that all are holding off on wagons, etc. If you were talking fairly, you could also point out that if Cody is scum siding, he studiously avoided the next highest train at an early point.

    to reiterate, I'm not defending Cody. it's a viable kill.




    Also, if scum only acted twice on night 3, that ups Rhea's percentages some.

    I would invite everyone to read the underlined portions and answer whether they think voidkitten was able to act twice in one night or whether the monitors portion is a pre-night action or flavor.

    VoidKitten was watching his monitors again when an idea struck him. VK punched a few buttons and continued to watch the monitors satisfied with the adjustments he made.

    Xanjori     decided he needed to go deeper in his thoughts. He tossed on a VR headset and pretended as if he were immersed inside a sensory deprivation chamber and he let his inner thoughts really guide him.

    Rajah stretched as he enjoyed his nap, but was now in needed of more. He was no longer sated and he ventured out into the night to see what house was best to stay at. Rajah came across Seth Rollins and decided to follow him back so he could set up shop nearby.

    Marack was wandering around the battleground again. The amount of people were getting smaller and smaller and he wanted to ensure the Kitten Kaboodle reigned strong. Marack sought out Merlin and engaged him in a friendly conversation and a game of hide and seek to see what he was really up to, once Merlin was sufficiently distracted.

    Crackleslap snuck around the battlefield, intent upon ensuring his colleagues had nothing to fear. Crackle located Sirius Black and erected a makeshift wooden fort around Sirius’s house, intent on keeping things out.

    VoidKitten did what he did best and ran his hands over the dials of his master control unit, while sitting on his throne with a Pepsi in hand. VoidKitten didn’t really like Cactus Jack nor Mick Foley and fired a red laser beam at both of his target, confusing the two of them.

    Insaner hadn’t really heard anything actionable yet. But that did not mean he wouldn’t have constant vigilance, just in case. Insaner went around and set up more listening devices around to see what he could capture.

    Psycho was playing some poker against a pizza box cutout of Mazer. Psycho had really missed Mazer and the frolicing they used to do back in the day, but at least this was a good substitute. Psycho went all in against this pizza box and bet it couldn’t beat him.

    DivaSmurf had traveled the world and the seven seas. He was a notorious pirate after all. But now, he’d put those skills to good use. He ran throughout Boston and found Dr. Strange and commanded his men to “Batten down the hatches!” and a group of people came out of nowhere and built a moat around Dr. Strange’s house to ward off visitors.

    FutureHold was excited. Everything he had hoped for had come to fruition and he was given enough peace to finally build what he wanted to. This would be fun.

    Violina’s head appeared above yet again, to announce what everyone present knew was coming. Violina beamed down at everyone. “Well, well. Another day another event. My Tribal Council has voted and chosen the player who shall receive the most wonderful of gifts. They get to…run errands for me! Isn’t that wonderful? I guess I can let them bring someone with them. Anyway. Back to it. The player chosen by Tribal Council was…HARRY POTTER!

    Harry Potter was lifted from the game space to a place unknown.

    Harry Potter, playing as ???, the ???, has left the game.

    Violina     clapped her hands.”Yay! Now I don’t have to do them myself! Oh, and since I am so happy with not having to do them. Stasis has now been removed. Consider this my gift to you.

    —---------------

    Pug and Jafar have left stasis.

    Pug, playing as Rock, the Kitten Kaboodle JOAT, has been killed and sent to Tribal Council.

    Jafar, playing as Robozerim/Jarrod, the Redirector, has been eliminated and sent to Tribal Council.

    VoidKitten sat on his throne watching the monitors as the battlefield below had people sneaking all around it. VoidKitten laughed and adjusted some settings on the monitors and sat back. “I do love a good battle. It warms the cockles of my heart.”

    Badger     hadn’t seen much action, but now was his time to shine. Badger had always spun a good yarn and he found Cody Rhodes and got into a really deep discussion on what it meant to finish the story. While they spoke, Badger was trying to ascertain what Cody Rhodes was really thinking.

    Randolph, or as he preferred to be known, Rando, wanted to ensure The Corporation would come out on top in this battle. Rando went off into the night and once he found his target beat him down to ensure they wouldn’t have much fight tonight.

    Caito had finished modeling his kilt off for his new TikTok channel and decided he should actually get some work down. He set out and located Jafar and weaved a mist around Jafar that seemed quite sturdy.

    Rock was busy in his lab working on a new concoction that he thought would be the life of the party. Rock coated his blade in this and set out into the night and found Cactus Jack. Rock snuck up behind him and nicked him a little with the blade and disappeared, grinning wildly to himself. Rock quickly left and waited to see what the effects would be.

    Kryllian yawned as he woke up from taking a quick nap and but on his boots and set off into the destroyed streets of Boston. Kryllian liked to know what was going on so he set up shop outside Dr. Strange’s house to see what would happen.

    Morrison had enough. It was tiring enough listening to people dither on and on all day, but what really pissed him off was when people didn’t even have a spine to make themselves heard. One person, in particular, really upset him and he set out to deliver the Morrison brand of justice. Morrison snuck up behind Pug and slit his throat, not even bothering to check, as Morrison knew his aim was always true. Pug let out a gurgling cry as he fell to his knees and bled out.

    Pug, playing as ???, the ???, has been killed, sent to Tribal Council, and is in stasis for one full cycle.

    Pablo Diablo     was one of the lawyers that The Corporation contracted to enact the bylaws as necessary. Pablo decided that someone needed a remedial lesson and sat them down and went over the entire Corporation handbook one by one. Just to ensure they would stay focused, Pablo locked the door and set up shop next to it.

    Matthieu was super sneaky. Like super super sneaky sir. Matthieu may have just finished watching Mr. Deeds and wanted to see how really sneaky he could be. Matthieu set off into the night and saw Cactus Jack. Matthieu knew this was a great opportunity and tailed Cactus Jack to see if he would notice.

    Shiro was pissed off again. He really hated hearing all of these people talk. One person, however, was offensive beyond all belief to him. Shirokitsune went out into the night and located Merlin and karate chopped his throat, laughing as Merlin fell to his knees, coughing, hardly able to form words. Shiro moved on, slightly less angry than before.

    Listo had heard enough. He knew that eventually someone would speak too much information and lead him back to their hideout. Listo packed up his toolkit and set off to locate his quarry and ironically he located his quarry in a quarry. Gargamel was sitting on a rock, eating some food and reading the latest gossip magazines. “Man. Everyone in this magazine is a stud.” Listo, approached completely unnoticed and with blinding speed quickly stabbed Gargamel in the side. Gargamel fell off the rock and rolled down a bit, right into a box of dynamite. Listo grinned malevolently and lit a match and threw it onto the dynamite and quickly disappeared. Gargamel couldn’t even make a sound before he exploded into unidentifiable pieces.

    Gargamel, playing as ???, the ???, has been killed and sent to Tribal Council.

    —---------------

    Violina’s head appeared above Boston once more and everyone groaned. They knew that meant something was coming. “Don’t look so glum,” Violina said as she laughed. “I gave you a great dance number to work on. That being said, the Tribal Council has voted once more for someone to receive my event.” Violina paused dramatically as her head swiveled around looking at people. “The Tribal Council has made their decision,” Violina continued. “The player who received the most votes is…MANKIND!!!

    With these words an aura appeared around Mankind, causing him to occasionally speed up and slow down.

    Violina bowed once more and her head departed.

    —---------------

    The Final Boss, The Tribal Chief, and Sabrina Spellman have left stasis.

    The Final Boss, playing as Robo-Listo, the Corporation Tinker, has been killed and sent to Tribal Council.

    The Tribal Chief, playing as Kneeneighbor/Dreyski, the Tribal Amplifier, has been killed and sent to Tribal Council.

    Sabrina Spellman, playing as Mazer, the Fickle Fellow    , turned Kitten Kaboodle, has been killed and sent to Tribal Council.

    Rhea, I'm trying to ask this question in a way that doesn't get you in trouble, so I'll just say this is not me having a go. I hope you will consider my question, and not read anything in an antagonistic tone.

    Outside of voting history, do you feel like there's much potential for you to be able to validate your town status in the next day or two?

    A poison silence would be weird.

    This is Cactus's last post. A "coma" type potion is something I've not heard of. If you were scum, staying away just to stay away would seem weird. But maybe I'm just projecting, because I would never want to just to watch the thread and not try to engage.

    The poison I can't figure out, but maybe that is the right variable?

    I was obviously trying to pull more out of Cody. I really didn't like that short post, it feels like he knows he's been identified and is giving up.

    As for who else I think could be scum, I really don't know, so I suspect everyone and I suspect no one. There are reasons to somewhat clear people, and reasons not to trust what people have said, nor what the write up says. There have been games where scum has been able to earn an extra action at night, or to be able to include a fake action in the writeup. Scum would typically want to use a fake action as a frame or to clear one of their own.

    We have also had wishes in this game. I wonder if the double kill where Dude killed Mick was a result of a wish, as Jafar said he granted all wishes. I believe that Dude had wished for and been given a gun, but that Void messed with it mechanically to take out the shooter as well. I know this as I had wished to know what someone else had wished for, and found out that "someone" was getting a gun. Since my own wish was messed with because I thought I would find out who wished for it, it only makes sense that the gun wish was also messed with. Unless of course there are other guns out there. Jafar did say our wishes were boring.

    I did very much like Harry Dresden's thought that Gargamel could still be rezzed. My thought was that maybe he's coming back, but because of how our bastard mod likes to mess with us, his option to come back is only as a stump.

    After Cody and Jade, I think I want to take a look more closely at Seth, Harry, and Cactus/Mankind. Not sure what order on these.

    I did consider that you might be trying that, but knowing that they are not engaging on those posts and pulling on the way they were already voting rather than calling out for reads (which they still haven't done), seemed to at least open up the possibility that you were using the other strategy.
