Puddle Mafia 02 - Game over - Sedition wins - 3rd Party Win

[puddleduck]

Initial Write-Up

It had been the longest summer in Duckton's history. Hosepipe bans flooded the city as gardeners everywhere bemoaned their deserting flowers. This was a town ripening with economic success. Prosperity bloomed as it spread itself far across the sprawling landscape, it's pollen attached itself to every bee that busily buzzed through their daily routines. The toxic weeds that had threatened to suffocate the now blossoming village were dead, but with new growth came fresh enemies.

Today, everything was about to change. Today brought the first drops of rain onto the dried earth of Duckton. The seeds of discontent that had long been forgotten crept up through the cracked soil and towards the darkening sky. The most bulbous and blackest greys now shrouded the blue with it's suffocating blanket. A new cast had assembled themselves for another act in Duckton's fragrant history. Hades had grown tired, Satan was restless, Beelzebub was bored. Their icey fire now burned in the eyes of a new hero. Idle hands had been the Devil's plaything, but it was idle minds that were his vessel.

If you could all confirm your roles. I will proceed with the first Day 1 writeup and we will begin. As with last time. Roles in game will mostly be revealed through the first few writeups, but I will be trying not to clear people through it.

So, nothing to be submitted yet, or garnered from the writeup. It's some early flavour to get the game going and once everyone has confirmed we'll be up and running when I post the proper first day writeup.

I'll be at work tomorrow until the evening again, so hopefully all roles will be received and accounted for by the time I get home and tomorrow evening/the weekend the game can properly begin

Just waiting on one confirmation as I've had one via Pm and we can get going. If Zhu takes too long confirming I'll get the writeup posted anyway and people can start the day phase seeing as Zhu's experienced enough player to know what's going on

Day 1

Meh sod waiting

QT thread is now available for spectators to request access to.

Day 1 -

Duckton was barely the same town it once had been. So much had changed since the dark clouds that had threatened to engulf the sleepy city had dissipated. New pieces adorned the board, but was the game even still the same? Did the pawns still have a part to play, or was this an altogether more dangerous game?

This was his town. It would always be his town. The history books were inked with the blood of past pretenders. He was determined to avoid the mistakes of those that perished before. Perhaps, this time, subtlety would prove more successful than brute force?

He knew the returning rain meant only one thing. His services would soon be required. His absence last time had cost many lives. This time he hoped to serve his oath.

It was a tough job. The streets of Duckton were always a cruel place to patrol. At least now he could earn some overtime.

He had always been an important member of the community. His voice meant a lot to many people. When he spoke, they listened.

He wasn't like most residents. The clouds had brought him enough respite to surface once again. His path was drowned in twilight, his loyalties equally shady.

It is now Day 1, with 9 alive it takes 5 to lynch.

1st - Referencing PD's previous game. Set up there was 9 players also, 2 mafia and a serial killer. I guess we're looking at something similar this time, though 3 mafia and maybe a relatively harmless 3rd party is a possibility too. Probably at least 2 vanilla townies going by the pawns part.

2nd - Prominent member of the town. Subtlety rather than brute force suggests a tracker/watcher type role.

3rd - Must be the doctor. "His absence last time cost many lives". PD's previous game didn't have a doc, and the oath part referring to the Hippocratic oath.

4th - Cop.. not much else to go on there.

5th - Another town role I guess. "His voice meant a lot to many people". Kinda sounds like someone who can influence the vote, so maybe a double-voter type role.

6th - Now this is the more interesting line, referencing an adversary to the town. Seems like a 3rd party or maybe a dodgy mafia member. "enough respite to surface again" sticks out to me though. PD's previous game had a serial killer, so we could be looking at another one this time around.

Could also be the Mayor if we go by the literal sense. But, yeah DV fits much better.

This was his town. It would always be his town. The history books were inked with the blood of past pretenders. He was determined to avoid the mistakes of those that perished before. Perhaps, this time, subtlety would prove more successful than brute force?

I don't think this refers to a town role. 'History books were inked with the blood of the pretenders', won't this suggest a supposed mafia GF? Subtlety than brute force too..

He knew the returning rain meant only one thing. His services would soon be required. His absence last time had cost many lives. This time he hoped to serve his oath.

Doctor. Hippocratic oath. And, Sedition's confirmed in the last game there wasn't one.

It was a tough job. The streets of Duckton were always a cruel place to patrol. At least now he could earn some overtime.

Cop. This 'At least now he could earn some overtime' is interesting though.. Maybe another investigative role out there?

3rd party role that. I think it is a survivor.

 

[Sedition]

Good point about the 2nd paragraph referring to the Godfather. Makes a lot more sense than the watcher/tracker I suggested, and none of the other lines seemed to mention the mafia.

The overtime part for the cop caught my eye too, but nothing came to mind. Could be right there's another cop type role out there, as there was in PD's previous game. Maybe a deputy or something rather than 2 cops on this occasion.

I can't find the Mayor role on epic or scum, so don't know what it's powers are. Politician did come to mind though, which is also a DV, but it's a 3rd party that switches alignment every couple of days, so not sure about that if the last line is referencing the 3rd party.
