Also you knew everyone's role before the flip minus mine and a few others? That's odd, considering I was in the demolished LANK BUNKER, don't you think?
I had scanned you with the Triforce of Wisdom and knew you were added to the hero chat, but for whatever reason Smash never reported your role card to me, so I never knew your exact abilities. I mentioned it to him a couple of times but he never responded, likely just out of forgetfulness.

Korby hasn't revealed yet, I don't believe.
'Scuse me! Korby flipped earlier, and Ivory was referring to me, unless he was mistaken as to who he thought was Ganondorf.

But I won't say in case the game goes on.
I asked KD whether he was going to bother updating further and he said "probably not", so I don't expect the game to continue. Consider this a definitive post on behalf of the villains.

Hello! Ganondorf here. I'm the one that has been killing you all these past two weeks. At least, I would like to say that, but the truth  is that my only successful kills were on Night 3 and Day 6; GBT and Thunder respectively, and even GBT was technically someone else's kill. Everyone else was killed by you, the heroes. Granted, villains contributed to lynches, but early on we wouldn't have been able to lynch a player without the support of heroes. We had a couple of plans set in motion to kill more players, but I don't suppose any of them will be actualised.

Here is my team's roles:

The secret upgrades to the Triforce of Power and the Triforce of Wisdom were:

Despite our slow start, I am confident my team was on the verge of victory; we could probably still win even with all of our roles revealed! This is because I knew every other player's role before people started flipping, save for Rozark's (I found his out after the mass-flip), Hilman's and Chaos_Fantazy's, and I know how the game would play out. How? I should elaborate on Smashbro's "meta-scumming", as OJ put it.

On Day 2, Smashbro made a seemingly-random post complimenting Accel with the subject "Re: [MAFIA] Farore's Wind - DAY 2". This was bait. Multiple players inferred this as Smashbro being cheeky and hinting at his identity, and got in communication with him via PM. Smashbro then made a fake role, claiming to be Farore (this was the first role he posted in the thread), and shared it with people in exchange for their roles. Smashbro reported all of this to my team. When the heroes started cooperating and made a private Skype chat, Smashbro was added to it. When the hero chat made a list of confirmed innocents, Smashbro was added to it. It seems no one ever reconsidered his innocence, despite obvious evidence suggesting otherwise. Process of elimination and careful reading of KD's plot snippets should have indicated that there were only three kinds of roles: Links, sages and Ganondorf & co.. There was no such thing as goddess roles; seriously, why did no one from the hero chat bat an eye at Farore appearing as an NPC?

Anyway, whenever someone from the hero chat found out a player's role and posted it in the chat, my team knew about it. As such, I could tell you that I knew 5 players that could revive others. 2 died on Day 6, 2 more would have died this phase, and the last was to be incapacitated this phase and killed next cycle. After that point, I believe there would have been no way for the heroes to recover. My team had enough vote-modifying powers to dominate the day phases, either forcing a majority vote or merely cancelling all votes for the day if it looked like one of us was in threat of being lynched, and I had two extra lives in the form of Smashbro dying in my place and me being able to secretly revive as Ganon. So the heroes' defeat was likely inevitable.

That said, I'm still disappointed in the people who gave up on the game early. Outside of the mass-flip, I've heard of dead players requesting to not be brought back into the game and people admitting to never really wanting to play in the first place. Players should be able to commit to the game as much as the host; giving up on Smashbro's game of mafia was reasonable since he himself gave up on it, but KD has been managing this consistently from the start. Lego and Ivory, you were set to die this phase so I wish you could have held out a little longer instead of triggering this domino effect of concession.

Since Smashbro's spy work influenced the game so much, let this stand as a lesson. To the heroes who weren't in the hero chat, this may seem incredibly unfair as this was a crucial part of the game that you were not involved in. However, blame those who were in the chat for clearly not spy-checking well enough and essentially feeding information to the villains. Without this, it is likely that the heroes would have fared much better. Communication in mafia games can be easily manipulated. Either put some forethought into adding players to your private Skype chat, or stay away from the medium entirely. Incorporating extended communication and cooperation in mafia games is an exciting prospect, but it seems players weren't able to quite handle the metagame it could provide.

I'd be disappointed in the people who bandwagoned Coolcat, but it seems he was the one who set Ceridran on fire and literally fanned the flames of the conflict surrounding Ceridran by contributing to the confusion, so I guess there's some sort of justice in his lynching.

So...what leads do we have now? Accel suggested focusing on Hilman at the end of Day 4, to which Knux brought up TGOT as an alternative, possibly in an attempt to shift the focus. Do you think that was an attempt to protect Hilman? That has further implications after Knux was revealed to be mafia.

+Voting Hilman, but I'm open to alternatives. I'm sure there are more leads; this is just the first thing I noticed.

I hate to be sceptical, but can we trust Ceridran? I have never seen someone come out so awkwardly about their role in a game of mafia before. Why is he withholding information about this first player he supposedly scanned because it would "put him in danger" when he's simultaneously promising that he'll say "[name] is on our side" for the next person he scans on Day 4? Wouldn't that also put them in danger?

Because I want to believe that he is telling the truth, I won't vote for him just yet -- there's still some time left before the day ends, after all -- but it would be useful if someone could try and fully convince me that he's worth holding onto while he's 'burning up'. Unless he commits to his claims a bit more, to me this is all just self-preserving bargaining. We're lucky only one player has died while this conflict surrounding Ceridran has gone on, because it's dragged on for three whole days and it's threatening to go on for longer.

Abstaining. Voting because of/in reaction to mere gut feeling doesn't qualify as "vital information" enough to risk accidentally lynching a hero instead of a villain, which has a much higher chance of happening. I imagine at least some of us will have abilities useful for progressing logically tomorrow, which is the true vital information at this point.

Hey Brotoad, good to see you on Cutstuff again. While you were gone from the forums, I checked your Tumblr and DeviantART every so often so I've been somewhat aware of what you've been up to. I'm glad progress on Star Captain is going well after seeing lots of your artwork for it. IRL, I only know cisgender people (including myself) so to be honest, observing your transition has been educating for me. You ought to know that you're quite the inspiration!

Now to wait for the victor of the PandarusK VS Llama/Smash game in the loser's bracket.

Good games Dood; I fear I'll be joining you in the loser's bracket shortly.

Here's poem I started a month or two ago and finished off today.

I'd also like to use this post to again advertise my writing blog, Tangent's Holiday Project, where this poem was also posted on, among several other pieces of writing. I'll likely still post things here too, but any stories with continuity will remain on that site, if anyone is interested.

While most other mappers have been jamming with their assigned brothers, I've been overhauling my oldest map, SHA01.
The revamp is still a WIP, so there's no item placement yet.

Anything Goes / Re: CD's Question of the Week (Week 3)

Create a sacred object containing a portion of my power, akin to the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda series, and hide it in a place where I can access it after the day is done. It would take me more than a day to do something worthwhile as a god. It would probably take me more than a day to think of what to do, too.
