#communication cheating

Neutral roles are great at cheating

So I (Seven) was playing with my cousin (Six) and my aunt (Raisin Bread). I rolled jester, Six rolled SK, and Raisin rolled exe. Day one, Raisin points a finger at timber, her target, and successfully lynches him. Luckily, night 1 mafia doesn’t strike and timber, the escort, red me. I ask Raisin and Six to help me get the jester win by pointing out this fact. Six reminds town that I was rbed with no maf kill and town takes the bait. Before I know it, I have eight guilty votes and a rick rolling will. So Raisin and I both have won, and town begins to suspect Six. Six claims med and I tell her that the dead said Ugly Ahh was mafioso. I suggested that idea to Six, who told town. Town opted to lynching Ugly Ahh instead. He really was mafioso, so Six became the “confirmed” medium. Why the medium didn’t cc at this point is beyond me.

It finally gets down to Six (SK), Yellow (GF), Raisin (exe), and Samuel (med). Samuel finally announces that he is med. Yellow and Samuel beg Raisin to vote Six up, but the vote is split between Yellow and Six, Raisin refusing to abandon Six. That night Six kills Samuel and Yellow tries to kill Raisin. Raisin lives, though, seeing as she is exe. So it’s the final showdown…gf vs sk with an exe having the final say. Raisin pretends to be torn between the two, and the voting time is counting down. She waits until there’s five seconds left before voting on Yellow and sending him to his death.

So, the jester, the exe, and the Serial Killer won. Best family game ever.

I just got out of an any/all as one of a 5-man maf, a disguiser, which I dislike but hey, we had a forger AND a janitor, so I could safely do my job! N1 our kill role bites the dust, RIP. His replacement, the janitor, who had been talking in maf chat the entire time about saving their cleanings, decides to call out for me to use my disguise. I said, “Seriously? Are you not worried at all about a spy?” The night ticks by, no reply, the janitor-now-mafioso NEVER picks someone to be killed, the night ends. Next night, time is ticking by, consig picks people to investigate and isn’t relaying their roles, forger is quiet, and I speak up “You know, you have to actually pick someone to kill for me to use a disguise, right?” Nothing. No kill picks, nada. The next day, without so much as a word, the 3 other mafia all vote me up for lynching, town goes along with it, and I’m lynched with straight guilties down the line. I’m dead. That night, forger gets randomly taken down by SK, and I’m asking him in deadchat WHY he and the other two decided to lynch me and why the mafioso wasn’t KILLING anyone. He said nothing. More nights go by, and the maf wind up actually WINNING, whittling down the town, and as the game ends the mafioso says the reason for lynching me and not killing anyone was because I was “being useless not picking anyone” and “wasting their nights." 

Literally. None of them understood that in order for me to use a disguise, they had to pick who to kill and forge FIRST so I would know who to be. They insisted that I was the one that was keeping them from being able to kill anyone. Because somehow all three of them thought that Disguiser is the kill role and they needed to get rid of me in order to be able to pick targets to taken down. And they had all agreed to eliminate me so they could keep playing and actually win the game. Mind you, none of that was actually said in maf-chat. So not only did these three not know that Mafioso is the kill role over Disguiser, but they were all talking out of game to coordinate after I mentioned the chance of a Spy. And the rest of the town wondered why I was so salty when the maf won.
