Endgame




The last winds of fall loomed over the city of Laz, howling in-between the vacant streets. A strong downpour coated the land in a fine mist. A collection of bones littered the town, enforcing the depressing mood to all that past. No nobles of blood were left, all scrubbed off the face of the earth. The remaining town folk, lead by Tictock, fled into the country side. Hoping to find a new hope.

The operatives gathered, a cart filled with a corpse and the jars of blood of the nobles followed shortly behind them. In their procession was a parchment of paper, showing off a ritual. They looked at each other with faces of joy. This was the day they were waiting for.They in time, made it to the Kish Stone. They carefully placed each jar accordingly, their positions dead on. The operatives, Beentheredonethat and Chez, then took out the covered corpse. A flash of lightning shook the landscape, as the corpse of Time-traveler was placed under the stone. "Jaril Dante, old friend. You serve a greater purpose now." Beentheredone that said, throwing a match at the corpse.

The Corpse quickly caught on fire, the jar's of blood exploding all around, forming a cloud of blood around the Kish stone. The blood cloud engulfed the corpse in a swift movement. The sky cracked with thunder, and a bit of lighting hit the Kish stone. An evil laughter arose from the now soaked corpse. The head jerking up, expressing and devious grin and bloodshot eyes. It was finally done, the Monarch has lived again.

The Monarch rose to his feet. He sprouted wings of blood from his back that soon turned to a dark hide. His body started to decay, till only a bit of flesh clanged to the now exposed rib cage. Beentheredonethat and Chez fell to their knees, worshiping their master. The Monarch approached them, making sure to live up to his reputation. With a wicked grin, he spoke, "Rise my Operatives, your master has been reborned. You two shall now serve as if you have my mouth in your ears. Held all commands I give, and give complete control of your body to me."

"Lokia" the two operatives said.

The Monarch laughed, "Then listen closely! Spread my arrival to this realm. Do so with hasten breath. Find my clan's folk, and send them to find me in a hill of skulls. For I shall purge this land as I only know how to." he ended, waving his hands into the sky. Multiple butterflies spawned from his palms. Heading in all directions.

Victims of the Monarch's plague quickly fell, their immune systems not built to restrain such a deadly plague. Those who were not exposed hid underground, to avoid a swift death.

The Monarch and his clan, including the two operatives, meet five days later in the ruins of Laz. This, was their world now.



Alright! That's the end of the Panda show ladies and gentleman! Please exit the exhibit at this time, via the doors with red lights over them. said the female announcer over the speakers.

The crowd stood jaw dropped, in awe of what they just saw.

Their eyes peered into the blood stained glass window of the exhibit. Multiple pools of goo, once belonging to ghosts of pandas coated the ground. The corpses of fallen pandas scattered the exhibit, each being stained by the ghosts before they could of been dealt with.

The remaining pandas, 2 red pandas named Chez and Beentheredonethat, 1 old regular panda Alakaslam, and the only brown bear in the world Tictock, were being herded to a rusty cage. Their place of travel? A government run research lab where they will be ripped apart and analysed to see how such regular animals gained the ability to see ghost and kill them.

Days later, governments all around the world found, and hunted down, pandas. Mountains of dead pandas plot the world, almost as shines to some sort of sicken god.




The Bamboo plants watched with glee, each panda's guts they saw ripped out fueled a crazed frenzy. They danced within their now protected forests. For they have defeated their all time worse foe. The Panda.

The Victor's of today's game? Bamboo plants all around the world. Their amazing skills of deceiving 13 pandas to fight ghost pandas in a game called "mafia", shall be song for generations to come! All Hail Bamboo, All Hail Perfection!


+ Show Spoiler [real(?) end game] +

Scum Victory!


Grack, the Fallen Acolyte with Alien Superpowers, was lynched!
+ Show Spoiler +

You are Fallen Acolyte of the House of Brown.

You suffered a delirious night filled with hallucinations and fevered dreams as part of your induction to become an Initiate of the House of Brown -- a secret society built upon “civilized discourse” and “freedom of discussion”, free of “[discrimination] against anyone based on their social, economic, cultural, political background and leanings”.
You share a neigbourhood QT with the other members (link).
Your alignments are not known/confirmed to one another.

Subsequently, you experienced a moment of religious awakening, to embark on a journey of spiritual cultivation, becoming an Acolyte of the House of Brown.

But you failed in your spiritual journey, and clung to worldly things. For that, you fell from grace with the Gods, and are condemned to a life of obsession to an object. + Show Spoiler [hidden] +
You lose all other items and anything given to you is automatically discarded


+ Show Spoiler [Acolyte abilities -- these were lost] +

First, you must denounce materialism. You must give away any and all items that you possess, whenever possible. That means you must end each day phase empty-handed. You may decide who to give your items to. If you do not submit a choice, your items will be distributed at random.

You are still allowed to participate in feasts unless otherwise specified.
You are still allowed to use items unless otherwise specified.


You have decided to help reduce wastefulness within society. You’ve collected the leftover items from last night’s feast and the unclaimed items left behind by the dead. These items are still perfectly good and useable but they are not for your own use. You shall engage in acts of charity by distributing them to the needy.

You must distribute these “salvaged” items among players as evenly as possible, i.e. you must endeavor to give everyone at least one item before you can give anyone a second item, etc.
On subsequent days, you must continue where you left off, and prioritize players who have received fewer “salvaged” items thus far.

As is already the case: all items must be given away by nightfall.

Note: The “evenly distribute” rule for “salvaged” items does not apply to items that you legitimately “owned”, i.e. those you received from the Gods, obtained from the feast for yourself, or received from another player. Those may be handed out freely at your discretion.



Also, some aliens visited and zapped you with a ray. You have been granted alien super-powers! These can be used in addition to your normal night actions.
    Enhanced Strength
  • Nothing can hold you back! You cannot be redirected.
  • This ability is passive and cannot be roleblocked.

    Enhanced Speed
  • So much to do at night, so little time to do it all. You will be seen visiting every living player to investigative roles.
  • You will not show up as visiting anyone if you are roleblocked.

    Night Vision
  • Using the latest advances in science, you have gained the power to investigate! You can check a player at night to see if they were involved in a night action.
    This includes:
    The target using an action.
    The target having an action used on them.
  • Your result will not tell you which one happened.

    Night Vision 2
  • You have the latest advances in night vision. You can target a player at night, seeing who they visit.
  • If they visit multiple targets, you can only see their first target.
  • This replaces your original Night Vision ability.



Chez, Gardener, has been smitten by the gods!
Alakaslam, the Retired Court Advisor, has been smitten by the gods!

Beentheredonethat has endgamed as Mastermind!
Tictock has endgamed as Initiate!




Thanks for playing!

Sry for nuking myself.
That was very retarded of me.

If you want the mods to hand me a three day ban for playing against my wincon and/or bombing the game I am fine with that.
If you want to avoid playing with me in the future that is also fine.

I will take a break, tbh kinda have to anyways work related deadline coming up on the 03.02., and will try and fix multiple issues with my current playstyle. Would be glad if you guys/gals would give me another chance, but cant hold it against you if you won't.

Unfortunately Shape will not replace me out of the game for that reason.

Also, Alakaslam disappeared, even got warned. The whole "lynch the inactive" story line that some people seem to rely on died with the Koshi flip, why is that? Note how there was no counter wagon. This thread is currently being driven by mafia. ExO is driving this thread, Tictock, even darthfoley is. So there's most likely one mafia in them. Chez doing the drive-by posting but Chezinu is pretty much unreadable to me tbh.

disformation then again claims to have a bad scum game (correct me if I'm wrong) and what he's doing right now is either a bad town game or a bad scum game so I'm perfectly fine in lynching him. Grackaroni's EoD was a joke.


btdt confirmed not caring for my alignment.
i kinda hope he is just scum trying to tilt/ml me.

saving grace is him admitting that grack also had a horrible eod.

Amateur. You missed colouring my D1 vote on myself. You didn't add the D4 vote and you didn't even have one obvious observation to follow this up with.

worked out well
