Right then, the game is over. Just to confirm it:

THE BENNETT FAMILY WINS!

ALIVE WINNERS
Tmarv
Kurt Noble

DEAD WINNERS

Donovan Caine

DEAD LOSERS
Johnny Rebel (he was part of the winning faction, but he failed to meet his personal win conditions)
Everyone else.

MOD NOTES:

- Okay, it probably wasn't the best game. Activity was low for the first three day phases, and although it did pick up it probably wasn't the most active game I've ever seen; also, I did make a few mod errors. I apologise for those, but if I get the opportunity to mod another game I will do what I can to ensure the game runs cleaner.

- Regarding those errors, the most significant of which were giving Chaz night info night 3 he was drugged by Atken, and I let through the net L-1 quoting a PM. These were unintentional oversights, again I apologise, I will try not to repeat the mistakes again.

- Callahan was stripped of his night power night 2 for editing a post. I just thought I would clarify that one.

- I hid Rebel's real role when he was lynched because I deemed this to be the best thing to do, in the interests of the game, at the time. Feel free to let me know what you think about this.

- I let Kurt submit the mafia kill night 7 because Tmarv is out of the country. I hope the town won't hold this against me, but I thought the team at least deserved a sporting chance.

- The final outcome was determined by roll dice on random.org. Kurt and Jeff targeted each other, I let fate determine the winner.

- I welcome and appreciate all constructive criticism (and positive feedback). However, don't just say 'the game was rubbish', that isn't helpful even if you think that, tell me why you thought it was rubbish and what you think I could have done differently to improve the game. Thanks.

Awards, QTs and aob to follow.

Award time.

MVP - Kurt Noble
At one stage Level-One was a shoe-in for this award, but the remarkable mafia turnaround in this game, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, was down largely Mr. Noble. He was so far under the radar that the likes of Jeff and Caine still did not believe he was scum after L-1 had left them notes on how he had figured it all out. It was a masterclass, and as his faction won he has to get this award.

Town Best Player - Level-One
He led lynches on Atken and Rebel, not to mention saving the town, with some sage words, from lynching Chaz when he was trying to throw himself under the bus day 2. He had the mafia sussed, but then died, and despite leaving some advice that should have won the game, the rest of his team ignored it. If he hadn't been killed the town would have probably won.

Branden Harvey Award - President Jeff
There were a few contenders for this. Chaz did his best to get himself lynched day 2, Caine was all over the place for the first few day phases, Evan Envi signed up and did nothing, but the pivotal moment in the game was Jeff's decision to go after Chaz when the town should have been targetting Tmarv (who was the logical lynch after L-1 anonymous info). If they had done that it would have been game over since the mafia plan seemed to be to off Chaz next and try to divide Caine and Jeff, but since they were masons this would never have happened.

Okay, I think that is everything. Let me know if I have missed something. Please leave feedback.

It just leaves me to say, thanks to everyone who played and who was active, and I hope you enjoyed playing JUSTIFIED MAFIA.

[Level-Two]

Great game. I actually think it was the best one thus far in terms of balancing. No side was over powered it was a very strategical affair.

Kurt Noble is a great player he definitely deserved MVP on this one so congratulations man.

I'm just VERY saddened by my team. I mean - I understand Jeff's theory behind voting for Chaz but come on... you KNOW T-Marv isn't a cop, Kurt already claimed JOAT and Chaz claimed town cop - all townies that have died thus far weren't cops... HE'S THE COP!

I also figured it was obvious when Kurt Noble told Jeff he saw his night power that he just got that he was a scum journalist... it's just very frustrating.

At the end of the day, it was a great game. I wish we would have won - especially since I'm not going to be able to play the next game or two!

As for being a cocky son of a bitch throughout the game - don't take it personal this game is all about mind games and fucking other people up.

[President Jeff]

The lack of activity really killed the game for me to be honest. And the fact that the only way Level One/Caine and I got any info to go on was from stealing Atkens Role.

I was so close to lynching Tmarv, but man, Chaz played so scummy that I took a chance. Had he shared his info on who he investigated on the last night, I may had believe him, but he have me every other night. I don't think I deserve the Branden Harvey award cause one of my goals was to out live Chaz and I did do that

[The Soul Of Philly]

He couldn't investigate because I died during the day, making him useless. If he had said that, town would have won.

Good game, and now I'm hooked.

[C.J. Gates]

Was definitely a good game. Balanced and while the scum team won, it very well could have gone the other way.

Definitely got lucky the night I protected myself, but cluing into the whole James being quiet (which never happens) and then getting killed, I could tell that the mafia was silencing people only to kill them before they could out the silence. After realizing it, I protected myself and survived. I probably should have done it again, but L1 seemed to be leading the town a bit better then I could so i wanted to make sure he was still alive at the next day phase.

Overall good game though. Enjoyed how it all worked out in the end. Some good play by some mafia members to grab them the win.

[Nathaniel Havok]

I just still can't believe that the mafia let me live so long... I should have been killed on night 3! Although, they probably planned on me lynching myself long before I actually got lynched.

I played this game, just like I've played every other... Like trash!Although, I think this game taught me the most, and I'm looking forward to playing even more than before.

Jules, this game was spot on, brother! It was very even, not overpowered, and definitely a lot of fun! I'll sure as hell be signing up for your next mafia game!

[Kurt]

Sorry for the lateness for a review. I'm behind on a lot of e-fed stuff!

First off, I'm SO surprised we won this one. Pretty much thought we were dead when L1 came forward with everyone one of us named. After seeing Jeff's one-shot kill, along with the cop enalber ability confirming Chaz really was a cop, I was certain we were dead; so I knew I had to give up Tmarv. Really tense scenario, although I guess targeting Calvin would have guaranteed the game ended 1-1. Luck really was on my side at the end, ha.

At first, L1's message coupled with seeing power role after power role die lead me to believe than the game was fairly stacked against us, but after seeing the big picture, that obviously didn't happen. Both sides were very well balanced, with obvious strengths and weaknesses on both sides.

Activity was pretty dead the first three days, but L1 really did shake it up, ha. The inactivity was probably the biggest fault against the game, but you did your share to make sure the game moved along. Write-ups were prompt and there were several vote counts. Inactivity actually hurt both the town and mafia, so it balanced out. I'm not really sure why Rebel gave almost everyone on his team up...but I'm just gonna say it's because he's weird like that.

Also, glad to see tempers held a little bit more this game. I made a note about it in the last game's fallout, so glad to see it was mostly avoided this game.

I'm honored to receive MVP, and I had a fun time with this one. Shame not as many people were active, but you put together and ran one of the best games this year. Definitely a great first game!

[T-Marv]

Time for me to weigh in on this.

I wasn't as active during the end so Kurt totally carried that. Though we won almost completely based on town fuckups not our own play...though Kurt played a masterful game.

The game itself seemed a little overbalanced toward the town, but I honestly don't know if that's true or not. The usurper in there definately tilted it that way, but not terribly. But I honestly thought it was a great game and very well moded. Good job Jules.
