Billy, did you ever consider TSL is lying about being mason? Like I've stated previously.
Am I in the clear? For all anyone knows I could be working with Billy. Maybe the whole recruiting him is a bunch'a garbage?
Yoshidude and Koshi... If you don't say anything, you're not helping yourselves. Another thing, you guys are ultimately going to decide who dies.
If both Billy and TSL are "good", why the hell aren't they agreeing with eachother on voting the same person? Are they working together behind the scenes? Or is one actually a baddie bad?
Of course I considered it. I spent most of yesterday (gametime) debating this fact. In the end, I believed TSL to be the Mason. And you ARE the Cultist Unknown, both of us know this to be true.
If we believe two things: That Yoshidude and Koshi are both Mafia, and both of them are telling the truth about the Mushrooms they're holding, then lynching Yoshidude would still lead to a mafia win because Koshi could cause a deadlock in the next days voting with his Mushroom.

That... Is a very good point regarding Koshi's mushroom.
I'm going to assume that Koshi and Yoshidude are keeping silent to let us kill each other and give them a win. What a pain.
There's one issue - Koshi can easily kill off Billy if Yoshidude votes Billy. So, why not prevent this (since us three are in agreement about who we believe mafia are) and lynch Koshi now?
Not long after waking up, the Shy Guys were all in a panic about being destroyed by the Yoshis. If what they said was correct and Koshi was indeed a Yoshi with a Mushroom, he could have easily turned this to his favor with his partner and have destroyed all the Shy Guys here and now. However, someone wondered, if he did have all that as he said, why didn't he do that right off the bat?
It didn't concern Unknown, though, as they brought Koshi up to the river to where Sashe had drowned the night before. Seeing Koshi's face up-close, he could see a tear start to fall from his mask. Finally annoyed with him, Unknown started to shove him off...
While falling, everyone looked over to see Koshi's mask and cloak fall off, revealing the Yoshi he was. He had tried to flutter-jump his way out, but he could not escape the rapid currents of the river and was soon swallowed by it. No one even dared to check his body down at the end to see if he was alright...
Koshi has drowned - He was a Blue Yoshi
(During the night, he was able to spy on players to learn their alliances (to the Koopas, Brotherhood, or neither)) On him, he held a Mushroom
Everyone cheered for the defeat of a Yoshi! Knowning only one more threat remained, everyone got stoked to start the vote all over again to be rid of them once and for all! However, no one noticed how dark it had gotten all of a sudden, and everyone realized they were also tired from the previous days of activity, so everyone retired to their homes for the night instead...
It's now Night 3
If anyone passes tonight, the game will lead to a Mislynch and Lose scenario.
Mushrooms can be used on anyone during this time period, but you don't need to tell us whether or not you want to use them or not. If you don't say anything by the time all normal Night actions come in, you'll be unable to use it that night.
It all comes down to this - who's going to win? The Koopas? ...the Yoshi's? ...or maybe even the Brotherhood?
Another ominous night of burden passed by. Since Koshi's defeat, the Shy Guys were concerned that the Yoshis might be plotting a counterattack on the night. They found out that an incident occured that night, and rushed to where it happened. They spotted a spear and a grass skirt at the scene, pelted with eggshell fragments.
RIP TSL THE TRIBAL GUY CHIEF
And the chief whom the Shy Guys trusted the most in these dire times has deceased. The village of Saffore is slowly collapsing...
Number of Lynch Votes Required to Take Effect: 2
Unknown has been poisoned. He's unable to speak and can only vote once.
Mislynch and lose again.
Also if Unknown talks or votes twice, the game ends as he dies.
Jinx forgot something =/
Please wait while I edit this post...
...well, that's very anti-climatic of Jinx. =/
I'm going to mess with this story around a bit -
Seeing TSL's dead body on the ground made everyone think - there's no way this brotherhood could survive now if what's been going on is true now. However, this could all be false as maybe there's another who he has recruited into the brotherhood still around! While the odds of that seem unlikely, one thing was for certain - only 1 Yoshi remains, and with only 3 guys remaining, it could be a close one. However, upon looking around in the group, everyone noticed that there were only Yoshidude and Billy in the area. Where could have Unknown gone...?
Without wasting much time, the two searched for him, finding him laying in his bed, resting still. Both slowly approached him, noticing that he wasn't in fact dead, but deeply sickened, that in which could have only been caused by the effects of a Poison Mushroom! Being unable to make many actions, except for pointing a finger around ever so slowly, both Yoshidude and Billy realized that this needed to end today, and while someone had lied about their item held, one of them was going to die...
Unknown has indeed been poisoned! While Poisoned, he is unable to speak, make gestures, or anything involved with the game, except for the ability to vote.
If he even speaks once while poisoned, or he changed his vote at any point, he will die of his poison.
I'm still not dead? You guys are doing a really poor job at this... either that or you underestimate my ability. Vote: Yoshidude TSL, Unknown, and myself were all pretty certain as to who the mafia members were, and even though TSL's dead, that fact hasn't changed.
Ever since I took a little sabbatical from the forum, due to a bad sickness, it appears I am a major target now. So all of this stuff about me saying nothing is really invalid. I suppose I will vote Unknown for comments on Sashe, about not feeling bad about the loss of a shy guy.
Total Votes : Yoshidude : 2 (Billy, Unknown (Hammered))
Day 4 : Yoshidude
It didn't require much thought as to who was the final Yoshi among them. They didn't even waste any time with their vote, with Unknown mostly out of commission, it ended off being an all-out battle between Billy and Yoshidude. Both went at each other, seeing as there was no other choice they could do.
Staring up from his bed, Unknown, starting to recover slightly from his poison, reached back behind himself to reveal a koopa shell he had been carrying with him since the first day here. Looking colder now, he slowly approached both Billy and Yoshidude, both already tired from fighting, realizing Unknown was out to make the final blow. Seeing this, Billy seemed glad this was happening, as a smirk slowly appeared on his face. Yoshidude was pleasing, however, telling Unknown that Billy was indeed a Yoshi and was simply being targeted for being sick earlier. Slowly, Unknown took off his mask, revealing the Koopa he was, stating to Yoshidude, "Oh no... I know which of you I should trust..." and, using the rest of his energy the poison wasn't sapping away, threw the shell right into Yoshidude's face, sending him flying through the window of the building. He landed flat on his face, killed by the stone-hard shell thrown.
Knowing he wouldn't survive much longer after an action like that, Unknown fell to the ground. He started breathing heavily, a clear indication on his condition. Billy slowly got up, still smirking from earlier. He approached Unknown, still weakened from the battle before. "Seems you were right when you told me I could survive longer if I worked with you..." Billy stated. Slowly, he started to reach into his pockets for something...
Out from his pockets, he brought out an antidote for the poison Unknown had come under. "We never would have been able to have defeated those Yoshi's without your help." He then tossed it to him. Unknown, being weakened as he was, tried to reach out and grab it, but was unable to. Billy remembered and gave him the antidote himself. Almost immediately, Unknown got up, still tired from all that energy lost from before, but enough so he can move around fine. Both went outside to see Yoshidude, who's now laying dead on the ground as Unknown's shell was completely killed him it seemed...
Yoshidude was killed - He was a Red Yoshi
(During the night, he was able to block another player's action)
Unknown quickly ran off to retrieve his lost shell, as Billy suddenly realized where he'd gotten that from in the first place.. ugh...
Both looked around at the now empty village... a place ruined by the Yoshi's terror, though the more Billy thought, the more he was thinking how the Yoshi's didn't really do any damage to the buildings... and perhaps it's a place that could be rebuilt!
"Well, we should get going now - that's one job done, and plenty more left to go through"
Billy suddenly turned towards Unknown, seeing him start to leave the village. "But... but what about Saffore? With the Yoshi's defeated, don't you think it's a good idea to try and re-build the place?"
"But what point would there be?" Unknown started explaining to Billy, "What point is there when the Yoshi's are still out there?"
Billy stood staring at Unknown - remembering the stories he heard of the Yoshi's elsewhere.
"Right now, I'm off to the main Koopa headquarters to tell them how the area was liberated of these Yoshi's. If you want to help, I suggest you follow me. It's the only way we could destroy them once and for all, keeping this battle up."
Thinking this over, Billy realized Unknown might be right there. Following Unknown out, Billy started to think of what he was getting himself into...
GAMEOVER - Koopas win! Neutral Players also win.
Unknown left the village - is a Koopa Billy left the village - is an Enlisted Shy Guy
Final results and any awards I give out will be announced soon.
Around the village of Saffore, a lot has started going on among the recent loss of the capital. Shy Guys everywhere have been wondering whether or not they should try to take part of this whole thing and join one of the two sides. Most were against the Yoshis, but rumours where going around that the Koopa Army had planted the Piranha Plant from the beginning there! Regardless, the village was divided into factions - those who supported the Yoshis, those who supported the Koopas, and a whole separate group against both sides.
It's been days since the whole argument started. Posters had started appearing, stating "Kamek NEEDS you! Join the Koopa Army and let's stop those menacing Yoshis with us!", while other signs had starting going around talking about a "Brotherhood" of some sort. You sit in the town square, undecided of which group you wanted to join. Needless to say, all supporters of the Yoshis have already left town, before leaving shouting "You're all crazy! Once the Yoshis come, they'll set those Koopas straight and be done with it!", so there was no option in you joining with them now. While thinking, suddenly, you notice something... odd about the other Shy Guys around you. Everyone got up and started looking around at each other, noticing that originally, there were loads of Shy Guys here before, but now that total's suddenly dropped to 8! While all baffled by this, suddenly, a piece of paper started to fall from the tree tops above. A Shy Guy ran up to it, caught it before it hit the ground, and started to read aloud to everyone : "The rest of the Villagers are gone. You're all that's left. A couple of Yoshis have snuck into your group unexpectedly. There's a helper I've brought in to help you, and will bring more as soon as possible". Unaware of who this is from, you stand shocked, staring at the other Shy Guys, knowing potentially that they could be the end of you. Now you know you had to join another group, but which one?
After thinking how to deal with this situation, everyone decided that a vote should be cast each day on who to remove from the town until all threats are gone. A more civil way, you all thought, and it would help give you time to join one of the two groups before it's too late...

It's been days since the whole argument started. Posters had started appearing, stating "Kamek NEEDS you! Join the Koopa Army and let's stop those menacing Yoshis with us!". You've been busy trying to cover these posters up as best as you can, and notify of your own "Brotherhood of the Guys" - a group of Shy Guys against both Yoshis and Koopas. To your knowledge, all supporters of the Yoshis have already left town, before leaving shouting "You're all crazy! Once the Yoshis come, they'll set those Koopas straight and be done with it!", so there was a better chance at getting people to join your group now, you so hoped.

Believing this is a message from the Koopas, a trick to get everyone to join their side, you stand shocked, staring at the other Shy Guys, knowing potentially that they could be the end of you. Gathering a pile of posters, you know now you had to go and personally invite others to join your group before it's too late.

For the past few days, you've been staying in the forest village of Saffore, spreading posters and trying to influence the Shy Guys into joining the Koopa Army. As you know some know about the incident in their capital where Kamek planted a Piranha Plant to get the Shy Guys to go against the Yoshis, you've disguised yourself with a mask to make them think you're one of them.
One day, you received a message from Kamek himself, in an envelope, saying : "You've done a good job so far in attempting to get the Shy Guys to join our side. Now I've got another assignment for you - today, a group of Yoshi's will be heading into the village today. They've got the baby with them, so now it's time to get him! Later today, I'll be clearing out the village of those deemed to weak to help our cause for now. Once the Yoshis sneak in, I'll be dropping another letter down. Keep yourself disguised, and keep trying to recruiting the Shy Guys as you attempt to defeat the Yoshis as well." Realizing this was your big moment to show yourself as a capable Koopa, you rushed outside and started to wait for said letter to drop from the sky. You notice immediately that only 7 others remained in the area, realizing that you got the letter a little late, as the others started staring at everyone else, looking a little scared. Kamek must have cleared the area already, as everyone notices a piece of paper started to fall from the tree tops above. You ran up to it, caught it before it hit the ground, and started to read aloud to everyone : "The rest of the Villagers are gone. You're all that's left. A couple of Yoshis have snuck into your group unexpectedly. There's a helper I've brought in to help you, and will bring more as soon as possible". Realizing the helper was you, started to look around at the other Shy Guys to see their reactions to this. As a surprise to you, they all looked shocked by this. You know that with this news out to everyone, it will be much easier to get them to join the Koopa Army.
After thinking how to deal with this situation, everyone decided that a vote should be cast each day on who to remove from the town until all threats are gone. A more civil way, you all thought, and it would help give you time to get the Shy Guys to join your side as you face the Yoshis to finally get Baby Mario where he rests.
Notice - No Shy Guys were harmed by Kamek during the making of this story. They were all just transported to a different city.
It was yet another dull day in the forest. You, The other Yoshi player and another Yoshi were walking through the forest, trying to get through to the other side. Baby Mario was sitting on the other Yoshi's back, acting as normal as ever, which is alright. Eventually, you all noticed a forest village in the distance. Afraid it was full of enemies, you and The other Yoshi player told the other Yoshi to wait behind with Baby Mario as you two scouted ahead to make sure it was safe. After putting on some Shy Guy masks for disguises, you dash on into the village.
The village seemed calmed when you entered it. While walking through it, you noticed signs that said : "Kamek NEEDS you! Join the Koopa Army and let's stop those menacing Yoshis with us!", while another was talking about a "Brotherhood" of some sort. You both head into the town square, starting to think this place was a bad place to go through with Baby Mario. While thinking, suddenly, you notice something all the Shy Guys around there looking at each other (including you two). Shortly later, a piece of paper started to fall from the tree tops above. A Shy Guy ran up to it, caught it before it hit the ground, and started to read aloud to everyone : "The rest of the Villagers are gone. You're all that's left. A couple of Yoshis have snuck into your group unexpectedly. There's a helper I've brought in to help you, and will bring more as soon as possible." It became clear now - you've both fallen into a trap! Thankfully, none of the others know who you really are, so for now, you both decide it's safest to hide amongst them until their numbers dwindle out a bit.
After thinking how to deal with this situation, everyone decided that a vote should be cast each day on who to remove from the town until all threats are gone - a perfect way to help hide amongst them for now, and weaken their numbers before you both can get out safely...
Winner (Everyone who won) : Unknown, Billy Slacker, Sashe, Luigifan
Survivor (All players who weren't dead when the game ended) : Unknown, Billy
Scum Detector (Whoever voted the Yoshi's the most) : Billy
Invisible (Whoever avoided a nighttime attack (whether it be a kill or by an item)) : TSL
Cooperative (All players who joined up with one of the Mason/Cult groups) : Billy
MVP : Just to note, I seriously had re-read the whole thing over and over just to figure out who should get this but am still undecided. So, umm... yeah, I'll let everyone choose instead. I'd go for Unknown or TSL, though more in Unknown's favor.
Night 1 - TSL and Unknown indeed went to recruit each other, and failed because of that, leading to some heated discussions the next day.
Also Luigifan died, being the only Medi Guy and all, leading the town to no protection at the time... Also caused some things to go about regarding this that I wish not to be talked about, okay?
Day 2 - The ever-so hinted message of this being a "powerful game" ended off being in the form of items! There were a total of 4 unique items, oddly being split accordingly, Spy and Metal going to Town/Cult/Mason, while the Mushroom and Poison went to the Yoshis. Also so much discussion that it preceded my first mafia game already in this time! This makes me so happy...
Night 2 - An issue I had not thought of came when Yoshidude blocked TSL. I didn't know whether the Metal Mushroom or the block should go through. If the block had gone through, TSL would have been poisoned and spied on.
Night 4 - Just wanted to say how different this could have been if Yoshidude used his actions on different people...AND FOR A LOW POINT -
Yoshi's didn't use any powers on Night 1 for some reason... and Koshi never used his power at all... though it did provide little use.
It had been days since his friends had entered the nearby village to check if it was safe to cross... and the lone Yoshi, with him a sleepy Baby Mario, had started to worry of what had became of his friends. Tired of waiting, he picked up the baby and charged into the town, hoping he could figure out what was taking them so long. Upon arriving at the village, of which the sign had said "Saffore", it looked as though no one else had remained in there. The lone Yoshi started to travel through, wondering if maybe a ghost of some time had kidnapped his friends or something. Much worse than he had expected, he came up to a building with a busted window, and in the middle of the shards of glass that had been caused by the broken window lied Yoshidude, a friend of whom went into the village to check to see if it was safe.
Unable to find Koshi's body, the lone Yoshi ran as quickly as he could through the village, hoping he would not have to suffer the same fate as his friends... He knew at this point that Kamek knew of their location - and he knew there was only one thing he wanted from them - Baby Mario. Fleeing with fear, the lone Yoshi knew that they needed to work harder than ever to keep this baby safe from harm - as he's the only one who's able to save the world once he grows up...
The End
Thanks everyone for playing! I hope you had fun with this game as much as I had hosting it! And be sure to keep an eye out for the next Yoshi's Island Mafia, with a new kind of gimmick involved with it, and the continued story from before, as the Shy Guys try to survive in a world where the Yoshi's and Koopa's keep on fighting!
Though I think once Billy/Unknown/I had enough trust in each other, the outcome wasn't really in doubt
Unknown did more than I did, he made the important calls on reads and convinced Slacker too.
Also, wow about the night actions on night 2. Let's just say if block went ahead the game might have been a tad different (though Unknown would have known I was confirmed town, so then he and Billy would have to lead me. Slacker wouldn't have been recruited either way it seems)
Night 4 - Yoshidude poisoning yourself would have been the best option. Killing Unknown would have also been better as I had doubts on Billy.
Also incredibly awkward how no neutral Shy Guys survived.
EBWO...edit: also Jinx, work on giving story sections some backbone.
Edit #2 - thanks Yoshiman for splendid hosting again
I'll give Koshi credit, I thought he'd fall for my trap. I made myself quite the target too. So kudos to you!
I'm not sure what it is about Mafia games that I enjoy so much... it might be the fact of how much of a mind-game that these turn into and how much I enjoy those. And if you're planning on doing this again, I'll be glad to join up again.
Well it was my first Mafia game, and it was really fun. Thank you for hosting this Yoshiman and NitoriAria. I really had a feeling I would be killed day 4 .
