The 'morning' came, eventually. The lights in the ship turned back on, and the crew awoke to resume their daily tasks.
Except one. TBD never woke up at all. The ship kept a supply of quick-hardening airtight foam in case of emergency hull breaches, and a large portion of it had, at some point in the night, wound up in TBD's throat. Another night, another murder.
She was an innocent, obviously.

Breadknife has been suspiciously quiet this whole game. I think that must mean he's in the mafia. Vote Breadknife.

Vote Ed. Aside from having voted for (and therefore killed) an innocent man, he also all but told me he was the doctor earlier in the game, which turned out not to be true. He also implored me to vote for TBD on multiple occasions, and now she's been whacked in the night. Very fuckin suspicious.

Well, I thought I'd make a change from being suspiciously talkative (justified or not, and deliberately or not...), as is what usually does me in (correctly or otherwise).
It's taken everyone this long to notice my deliberately hanging back? But as my plans to look suspiciously silent (to draw the Mafia into thinking that this is the one time I didn't want to self-sacrifice, as per usual, and therefore was actually a valuable power-role to night-kill) obviously went for nought...
I'm sorely tempted to directly vote yourself [i.e. Jello], in self-defence, because you've deliberately avoided the obvious vote, but instead I will make the obvious vote. vote DM. There's seems only one reason why you didn't do that yourself. Even if it's wrong, it's the best guess we now have, by a long-shot.
But I'm content to let everyone else decide. It's still a slight majority of Townies, even with the absolutely awful luck (or good luck on the part of the opposition) so far.

Ah, ninjaed by Berry and Ovi. Oviraptor I already had Berry as second Mafia, and the jumping on the vote-Breadknife bandwagon hardens this opinion of mine. Consider why the acknowledged detective would have come up with such solid (if arguable, at the time) logic to target DM for Day 2 Lynching. I can change to Berry (slightly more circumstantially Mafia) or you and the other townies can vote for DM. Either way. There's plenty of time. |

Well then I guess I better confess. I've already won, at least from the perspective of statistics.
There are three mafia members left. I believe that their identities are relatively well-known and fairly obvious based on recent events. There are also three civilians left. Their identities are equally obvious. Voting logically will conclude in a three-three tie. Even should the tiebreaker come to a random player dying, there is only a one-in-eight chance of a civilian victory. You have no doctor to prevent future deaths to the mafia, and thus it will remained tied until the mafia have numerical advantage or random chance kills all three. Any alternative method of breaking the tie leads to an immediate mafia victory.
And I truly must thank you, Ovi. If not for your heroic move in sparing me from the vote, and subsequently refusing to join the DM bandwagon, this might not have been possible. I thought that throwing my vote to DM early would convince the civilians as a whole to remain perfectly complacent to sit on the sidelines and note vote. After all, what devious plan could possibly lead to a three vote swing in the last hour of the voting? In that regard, I turn to Breadknife, who expertly used such a move to kill of TBD in the last game I ran. I figured it would be poetic, in a way, that his move would come back to prevent him from winning again. It also caused TBD to die, albeit not as directly, again. Isn't irony fun?
But alas, the game is at the conclusion. As it stands, there is going to be somewhere between one and three votes in which the town must hope that random chance conspires against us for every flip. Sad that my neck is up first, but hey this wouldn't be true mafia if I didn't die at some point.
Pleasure destroying your town.

Jello and Berry vote Breadknife.
Ovi votes Berry.
Bread votes DM.
As it stands now, Bread will be lynched, but obviously there's plenty of time left for that to change.

Honestly Q, with 3 mafia and 3 innocents, the game is done... If an innocent is lynched, they win. If no-one is lynched, they kill someone and they win. |

Yeah, it's pretty much a confirmed Mafia victory at this point. Should I just skip to the ending flavor text now, instead of waiting for everyone to "officially" die?

Alright, I'm just gonna skip to the conclusion then.
On this day, the traitors decided to reveal themselves, as it was far too late to stop their plan. They were desperatemarlas, panicberry, and jello. They easily overpowered the remaining crew, killing them all with various blunt objects, although not before going on a lengthy monologue about how Europa's life should be left alone and untouched by human hands. They had been planted into that mission from the very beginning, trained by a terrorist organization that believes that humanity should never interfere with any extraterrestrial life. They believed that life on other planets should be allowed to freely develop in their own way, independent of human meddling. With the crew safely out of they way, they turned the ship 90 degrees to their current trajectory and made a very minor correction burn. It was only a few seconds long, but the burn would ensure that, instead of skipping into Jupiter's upper atmosphere to slow into orbital velocity, they would plunge directly into Jupiter, never to return. Europa would be safe, if just for awhile longer. Mafia wins. |

Good game, everyone.
I liked your flavor text, qwerty. The death scenes were very innovative.

But will nobody think of the Jovians! We shall see the deaths of several massive dumb gasbags as the Mafia send their ship down through the atmosphere! But, as well as the terminally ideological Mafia, they probably also kill some Jovians as well!

Q can confirm that I correctly identified all the mafia prior to the reveal, so I count this as a partial win for me...

To summarise some behind-the-scenes thoughts I shared with Q.
My thinking on day 1:
Either Ovi and Berry and <unknown> or Blassy and DM and <unknown>
Dya was Most-Likely-To-Be-A-Townie
A small chance that one or both of Jello/Yalta were Townie Power Role. (For the same reason I assumed the Mafia would assume that I was a power-role.)
I had some of the elements, but not coherently or even significantly. A lot of 'wrong', and had no way of knowing which bits were right or how it really fit together. Typical Day 1.
Day 2:
Berry surely can't be Mafia? But neither would TBD be, perhaps.
But, going through the resulting logic, consequently swinging towards Berry's guilt. (Especially when eventually controlling the vote... but could I have jumped in?)
Jello's vote looks like a 'hook'.
So: DM almost definite Mafia, Berry a very good chance. Third member Jello or a quiet one. Probably Ovi, in that event.
(In most aspects other than that final caveat, it seems I'd tied down the events of Day 1 pretty accurately, if still not entirely sure because of the faint possibility of TBD being guilty.)
Decided to remain silent, imagining that would help the Town more.1
Day 3 (having strangely miscounted, assuming it was actually three Mafia against four surviving Townies):
Nailed it, practically. Quote: "So, revised opinion: DM, Berry, Jello. With the latter far more likely that Ovi was, one message above."
('One message above' having been written whilst very sleepy, and having decided Ovi was the third Mafia, for reasons I didn't justify and can't now comprenend.)
And then I made my first post to this game-thread (as two other posts were being made!). But it was over, anyway.
1 Technically, if at the start of Day 3 it was an auto-win for the Mafia, then it also was at the conclusion of Day 2. Night 2 was just a formality. Mafia's pure luck on Night 1 was the most precipitous event, although their engineered success in the Day 2 Lynch was of course became the clincher. But for some reason I'd tallied up one more role in the game (i.e. one more townie) than the number of people listed by name!

Wait, no. Has to be a better name for that... But will nobody think of the Jovians! We shall see the deaths of several massive dumb gasbags as the Mafia send their ship down through the atmosphere! But, as well as the terminally ideological Mafia, they probably also kill some Jovians as well! Screw the Jovians, what'd they ever do for us? |

I'm now retiring forever and none of you will get to kill me again. Neener-neener, I win. Well, you did play the "You always kill me first" card, so that one won't work again for a while. I'm sure you have other cards up your sleeve though. |

This was certainly interesting, even if I didn't really play, except for like 3 hours. You're good at staying under the radar. Hence, you had to go. |
