Christmas Mafia was a game designed and hosted by Limey based on popular Christmas related characters.
It began on December 17th, 2010 and ended in a Baddie win in D4 (December 29th, 2010).
Game Mechanics[]
This was a small Mafia with 5 Goodies, 2 Baddies with a steal ability and 1 Indy. In addition, one goodie and one baddie were secretly placed in another BTSC by themselves.
Rules[]
- Tie rules: In case of a tie no one gets lynched.
- Frozen people can be voted for and lynched.
- There is no limit on self-saves.
Role Description[]
Baddies: 1 group kill per night + BTSC
Wincon: Outnumber goodies and have all Indies dead.
- Jack Frost: Can freeze 1 player each night. That player’s night action will fail and they will not be able to vote the next day.
- Grinch: Is very mean. Can steal someone’s action once per night.
Goodies: No BTSC or group kill
Wincon: Have all baddies and Indies dead.
- Santa Claus: Knows who’s naughty or nice. Can spy 1 player each night. Cannot die while Mrs. Claus is alive.

Host's Summary[]
Game Idea and Expectations
The game featured an exotic BTSC between two characters with opposite WinCons. The fact that the two elves' factions were not known to the public was meant to confuse the goodie spy and lead to WIFOM regarding each elf's faction. The game's Indy faction had very few chances to win, as he had only day abilities and no possibility to interfere with the night kill.
Game
- Night 1 - Phaze is randomly chosen to be killed and the baddies steal his block ability. Maurice is frozen and the goodie spy (GMaster479) discovers one of the baddies (Onetruth) while being followed by another goodie (Glycereine).
- Day 1 - The Indy (Hirkala) and the Goodie spy voted for baddies, while most goodies bandwagon on another goodie, ending in Glyc being lynched. Had Glycereine and Hirkala believed GM was the spy, Onetruth would have been lynched instead.
- Night 2 - Onetruth freezes herself, to avoid confrontation with GM which clearly held information on her. The baddies chose GM to be steal-block-killed, but he is saved as Mrs. Claus is still alive. Baddies prevent him from discovering the second baddie (Fox).
- Day 2 - A lot of talking leads to the elves being outed and finishes in a 3-way tie between maurice, seahorse and GM. The Indy does not vote, further compromising his chances to win.
- Night 3 - The baddies steal-kill Hirk figuring he is the inactive Indy vote manipulator and Onetruth draws a sketch-plan to out themselves and push for a goodie lynch with the help of the baddie elf. The goodie spy manages to spy the second baddie. The Indy is killed and Slick is frozen for the next day.
- Day 3 - The baddies out themselves and ask for the baddie elf to support their vote. They announce vote majority with the Indy's ability. The goodie elf tries to create a smoke-cover by claiming to be bad but all is revealed once the baddie elf votes. The Goodie RID save lynch role manages to save the frozen Slick from being lynched.
- Night 4 - The baddies steal-kill the Goodie RID-save-from-lynch role, and gain marginal majority after freezing Slick again (preventing his save as well).
- Day 4 - The goodies concede as they have only 2 vs 3 voting power with Slick frozen.
Special commendations
- Onetruth and Fox for covering their tracks and pushing for an open operation once they sensed they had vote majority.
- GMaster479 for figuring out and spying both baddies.
Host disappointments
- The main exotic feature - the two elves with BTSC but opposite WinCons - was not used. Only 2 posts were made in the Elf BTSC. No one came up with a strategy that used this feature.
Alternate endings
Alternate ending 1 - If the baddies had not stolen the Indy's vote manipulation ability, the game might have had a different ending. The public baddie outing in D3 was mainly caused by this ability. Also, had the baddie elf been inactive that day, the baddies would have lost the lynch, and probably the game. Alternate ending 2 - One important rule was unclear to players in D2: the fact that they can vote for frozen players. As the goodie spy had already spied the frozen baddie, D2 could have lead to a baddie being lynched, had the rule been stated in the OP.

| Night 1: Merry no more. |

Mrs. Claus was feeling nice tonight and decided to protect Hirkala. She stood there and watched but before she knew it, dawn had came, she had seen nothing all night. The Baddies went out to find their targets. Maurice was wandering out for a walk through candy cane park without a coat, not a great idea. Jack Frost was there instantly and maurice couldn't move away in time. The Grinch walked up to phaze while he peeked into his house, totally unaware phaze took a peek around his shoulder and saw a knife gleaming in the glow of the late night snow. This was the last thing he ever saw. Santa looked through his magic naughty/nice itentifier and looked at one person inperticular and found all he needed from his search. He decided if this person was naughty or nice. Rudolph left his stable without being seen. He was setting out to find his target. He had to be careful that his target did not see his red nose in the night. Rudolph wasn't worried for he knew what he was doing. Once the day came, the 8 who woke up saw phaze on the red stained snow and maurice stuck in a small iceberg. They knew Jack Frost and the Grinch had striked last night. |
| Day 1: Less Shiny |

The 8 remaining people knew they had to make quick action to get rid of a baddie before they lost more civilians. The blame was quickly put on 2 people. "We should pressure OT," said Glyc and GM "Fox is obviously a baddie, she always is," stated Hirk and slick. However, as the day went on the suspicion shifted to Glycereine. At day's end he got the most votes and was trampled by the reindeer. Strangely they didn't want to run over Glyceriene. After, the civilians knew why. They had trampled on of their own. Rudolph. The night seemed less bright. |
| Night 2: Darker and Meaner |

|
Mrs. Claus baking cookies when she realized she needed to save someone. She went out into the neighborhood and found the house that she was looking for. She used her candy-cane sword for protection; however, she didn't need it as no one came to the door. The Baddies went out to find their targets. Jack Frost waved his hands and the nearest person was paraylsed in an ice cage. The Grinch came up to GM and his powers of mean made GM reveal his action. Once the morning arrived, the goodies were happy to find out no one was killed but still had hard work ahead of them if they wanted to get rid of the baddies. |
| Day 2: Not getting closer, or farther |
|---|
|
The townspeople had a hard time deciding who to lynch. Maurice ended the silence first. "GM, no wait Fox is the one to vote for," maurice said. "Yes, pressure Fox," said seahorse. "Wait, that was a bandwagon with no details," replied Fox, "Let's lynch seahorse," Soon the crowd was circling in on seahorse and he yelled "Maurice is the baddie elf, not me, lynch him," "The day was ended and a decision had not been made and finally the sun went down on a tie vote and the reindeer were put to sleep. |
| Night 3: Not so silent night |
|---|
|
Mrs. Claus was finishing up her work on santa's suit when she saw the vision in her head of someone's house being attacked. She stayed all night but and saw a shadow creep, she thought it must have been an arctic hare. Santa looked through the magic world tracker to find someone he forgot to mark naughty or nice. He looked through for a while then went back to bed. The baddies were out on this quiet night looking for targets. Down in the neighborhood Jack Frost found his target, slick felt a bit of cold and looked over but she didn't recognize it before she was frozen. The Grinch was feeling extra grinchy and went away from town into the back lands and found his expected target going for a walk deep in the forest of candy canes. He looked over at the Grinch and gave away his action. The baddies teamed up and found Hirk in town later that night. They split up and Jack Frost distracted Hirk while the grinch stuck a dagger to his neck and when Hirk twitched thr grinch put the dagger in a little further. When the townspeople discovered the baddies had struck they had fear and determination running throgh their blood. The baddies were being hunted and they were prepared. |
| Day 3: Frosty the Savoir |
|---|
|
As the day arrived the baddies came out and urged the baddie elf to join them in voting for slick. The goodies were voting for onetruth. As the day went on the baddies were more and more confident as the reindeer were brought out. As they were running Frosty sent a sowman barrier aroound slick and saved him. The baddies were still smileing, they had a plan. |
| Night 4: Fear on the Horizon |
|---|
|
Slick knew the job he needed to do. When he wnt out the door a surprise started at him, before he could recognize who it was he was frozen solid. The Grinch found GJ walking back home and he snuck up on him and put an arrow to his head. The Grinch made golfjunkie give his role and then give his life. Santa knew a lot about everyone. He pulled out a random name and looked at them for a short time. The baddies were coming and the goodies could do nothing to stop them. |
| Day 4: A Very Silent Day |
|---|
|
The baddies approached mauricelf and SantaMaster with frozen Mrs. slick, they held a sword to his ice cold neck and before they thawed him the goodies conceded for there was no way for them to win. After the concession, the remaining goodies were put to work as slaves working for OT Frost, Grinchy Fox and seahorself. GAME OVER!!!!!!! Baddies Win! |
