Love Letter Mafia
Love Letter Mafia
Twas dead of night, the threat nearly unseen,
The Princess was attacked, saved just in time,
Cloaked figure unmasked, for it was the Queen!
The horror! The thought! Her mother! This crime!
When Queen was brought out she had this to say:
"The way forward is mine, soon all shall see.
My loyal inside will yet win the day."
Till this threat has been stopped, no one is free.
The Palace is locked, no one in or out.
The cast has been set, the setting is staged,
By Night you beware of the Queen's devout
By Day have your talks, among those still caged.
Distrust sets in, accusations be bold,
Threats are still hidden, let story unfold."
CaoimhinTheCape and Queen Mariana, Mafia, were arrested.

Agents of her still inside the palace.

The roar of the crowd clamors over the bleachers. The peasants, despite the unrest in the castle, still clamor for a show. They have traveled in from their homesteads, their farmlands and towns, to see a performance after all. The crowd even managed to get in sync on the same page for a chant.

Sir Goof couldn't help but chuckle at the ridiculousness. With his armor on, atop his steed, he asks for his lance. He scans the audience, and sees that the royal box is empty. No king, certainly no queen, and sadly - no princess. Sir Goof had hoped to win her favor this day, but with the events of last night, she has gone into hiding to protect herself. Goof had even gone so far as to wear her colors, purple and gold. With worried dismay, Goof sets his sights down the field. His opponent, clad in heavy iron armor with colors of black and red, was ready before him. His shield bore a strange insignia - a BatCatHat. Sir Good pondered at the origins.

Re: Love Letter Mafia
My Dearest Enemy,
I’m a photographer now. Not so much a passion as it is an excuse. My preferred subjects are dead things–ghost towns, empty houses, broken buildings. There are a surprising number of them.
Interesting, isn’t it, to see something that once held so much value stripped down to its barest bones?
That’s why I came back home, you know. I remembered this place. I believe I was around twelve or thirteen the last time I was here. This forgotten old science station that held so many memories of my childhood, back when marine biology was still something I could stomach. Odd, exchanging my interest in marine life for an attraction to death, instead.
I guess I ought to thank you for that.

Re: Love Letter Mafia
I'm about to do something very out of character: start a game with a mechanics wallpost. But I have a plan, and I think that plan will work.
Step 1: The Countess claims their role publicly.
Step 2: The Princess reveals themselves.
Step 3: Tonight, all town Handmaidens should target the Countess. If the wolves try to kill the Princess the Countess should redirect the kill to themselves. Other town roles shouldn't target either. This should be repeated on future nights.
"But what's so good about this plan?"
It gives us two confirmed town who wolves can't nightkill in the short-term. That means town has people who can be trusted, and also means there are two less people who could be suspected.
"But what if the Princess/Countess are unused roles?"
That's why I asked for the Countess to claim first. If the Princess claims when the Countess isn't in the game, wolves can just kill them. But if the Countess claims and there's no Princess, we can still proceed with the plan, just with only the Countess protected.
(The above means that the Princess shouldn't reveal until and unless we have a Countess claim.)
"But what if wolves, knowing the Countess is an unused role, fakeclaim it?"
If wolves want to trade being able to kill the Princess night one for one of them being outed as soon as the Prince(s) use their actions, then that's fine by me. A 1 for 1 trade is pro-town.
"But what if there aren't any town Handmaidens on night one?"
That is the largest problem with my plan. If that's the case, the Countess dies night one and the Princess night two. But I did the maths (assuming three wolves, two unused roles, and roles allocated randomly with no respect for alignment) and there's a 1/12 chance that will happen. That's a risk I'm prepared to take.
“But what if you’re a wolf and know there are no town Handmaidens?”
I’m not. Honestly. Trust me.
"But the Baron can't set up QTs with our confirmed town."
True. But the setup is designed so that most of the discussion will be taking place in public anyway, so the disadvantage is relatively minor compared to what town gains from the plan.
So. If you think the plan shouldn't go ahead, please say so (and explain why) asap. Otherwise, the Countess can claim whenever they're ready. (I'm implying pretty strongly that I'm not currently the Countess, so I may as well just say it outright. I'm not the Countess. Please don't speculate about my role in thread.)
And, you know, remember we need to hunt wolves as well. I'm going to try not to spend too much time debating the merits of this plan now I've made my case.
In other news, my schedule is extremely unpredictable after the next three hours. Knowing me I’ll still be posting too much, though! I’m also probably going to end up writing some RP at some point.

Re: Love Letter Mafia
Not sure I want to go quite as far as mass-claiming just yet. There’s a lot of unknowns and a lot of info we’re giving the wolves. But that’s still step one of my plan accomplished... no, I’m a good guy. I should not be cackling evilly.
Princess, reveal yourself whenever you’re ready.

Re: Love Letter Mafia
I would actually prefer the Princess not reveal until there is some silly wagon on her. With ample time remaining in a round, of course. But why give the disloyal maggots that info? That one is self resolving and it is better if they don't know for sure where to look.
Protect the Princess for longer by not giving them our Princess. She can fake claim whatever she wants and still never get executed.
We can mass claim and be smart about it. And/or just leave the claims at just my claim for now.
One a day, perhaps? A claim per day is a good slow release of info. Maybe two, particularly when someone is strongly suspected.
- - - Updated - - -
I am not quite sure I fully comprehend this setup. I can't tell if it's the acid or not.
But after I am done watering my pots, I am going to suggest perhaps that mass claiming is actually a bad idea in retrospect, because there are roles in the game that seem to be able to steal powers or switch powers or what have you.
I haven't really played a setup with such a role so it never even occurred to me that this might be a danger.
It's probably better if those with useful (?) abilities not claim so as not to have their power stolen by the Prince I think it is.
Skimming.
- - - Updated - - -
Not entirely sure how useful any of these powers are. It seems like there's going to be a lot of missing information or wrong information due to the role switching and mass amounts of the equivalent of roleblocking.
So the usual solve by spreadsheet stuff is probably ill advised here. Just find disloyal maggots using your Earthling brains and see how it goes. Claim the info you get when you get enough of it to make it worth claiming.
Otherwise, treat it like a vanilla game with an innocent child more or less. Protect the innocent child and keep her hidden until late game if possible.
- - - Updated - - -
Unless you all really think it's worthy of discussion I think it is good to table the mechanics and role discussion for now.
Just seems like a dead end and a distraction from the more important thing which is to find loyal minions for the Princess and disloyal maggots for the rope.

Re: Love Letter Mafia
I mean, I'd say that claiming a role that's guaranteed to be town is pretty deserving of a townread, but ymmv.
...now how paranoid should I be about the fact you're townreading me?
I've worked out what I'm doing for my RP and will get to work on putting together a scene. No song ideas yet, though!
- - - Updated - - -
Ta-da, one short RP scene.
The servant was not happy. Not that she showed that, of course; outwardly she was all smiles and curtsies and "yes sir, no ma'am". But she was not happy.
She had a family, for heaven's sake. It was her sister's birthday in three days, and if this investigation wasn't done by then she'd miss it. And they hadn't even let her send a message to them to stop them worrying about her. Surely there were better ways to find a conspiracy?
Besides, if the people asked too many questions they might discover her secret. And that wasn't going to happen unless it was on her own terms.I'm writing stuff, come and read it!

Re: Love Letter Mafia
The Countess and Princess are the only Roles that can't be changed via King or Prince, correct?
Asking mainly to make sure they can't mess up this plan.
---
I like the feel of Snowblaze's plan. It feels similar to the type of perhaps-overthought plan I'd like to devise and submit D1 for consideration, and I generally only do that as Town. (A wolf is usually too cautious to submit such a thing.) However, I've seen Snowblaze be a bold wolf.
Would the wolves like the plan to work?
In an obvious way, no. Sets up a towncore, blah, blah. But let's look at it from a wolf!Snowblaze perspective, if Snowblaze's goal is to gain immense towncred.
It sets up 2 players as essentially-death-proof Town (assuming 2+ Handmaidens and the wolves don't get lucky killing handmaidens early and/or trading out the Roles of handmaidens). That's strong, and (if the Baron is/stays Town) enables strong networking. Even if the Baron is a wolf and sets up the town-verified as in communication with a wolf, that seems likely to backfire. Unless the wolves have an abnormal number of wolves -- seems unlikely due to some dislike of the number of wolves in the last game -- I think the wolves would be more worried about the towncore than having a wolf embedded in towncore early on. The wolves would need to luck out killing handmaidens for this plan to be in their favor... so unless there aren't any curently or they are wolves... seems a bad ploy for a wolf to suggest.
All in all, doesn't sound worth it. So I'd lean Snowblaze as town.
Also, I agree it's worth getting the Princess killed if it means we can kill a wolf fakeclaiming Countess.
Something aboutAvatarVecna's banter/joke-vote on Libro rubs me the wrong way, enough to justify an early D1 vote.Last edited by JeenLeen; 2021-09-10 at 03:32 PM.

Re: Love Letter Mafia
It was in this little park that I used to categorize fossils and read the rings of slaughtered tree trunks. I wrote a research paper once that dedicated thirty pages purely to logging birds. I’ve never been happier to forget the words double-crested cormorant.
They used to tell us when we spent our summers here that we could canoe or kayak, whatever we liked. But we couldn’t swim. No, never swim. That was too dangerous, we had to be weary of the water. Even the beach had signs that read “DANGER” for fear the residue from inside you still swirled into the algae-flooded waters, even after all those years. They must have been right, though. To find any signs of life we had to take the river where it met the ocean. There, the muck thinned into salted clouds of green that you still couldn’t quite see through, but somehow seemed more inviting.
We were children, though. And all the precautions made us restless.
So it's now occurred to me that I was really into the idea of a love letter themed game not knowing that love letter is like... a show name or something. I just thought it was letters and I think I'm in a different setting than everyone else.
Eh, in for a penny.
Weighing in on the "reveal town roles" plan: This will always just feel unsporting to me. It's such an obvious move that a lot of games inspired by preexisting stories just don't have a mechanical way to prevent. Heck, I left Seto Kaiba out of Yu-Gi-Oh! purely to subvert the idea "she'd never leave THIS character out"but a lot of games like this just can't have that option built in. This just feels like a move we should ladies' agreement out of.Spoileralso the section of the story I was adapting had nothing to do with that windbagSpoiler: Check Out my Writing!

Re: Love Letter Mafia
This makes me lean slightly towards Xi being Town. When we were wolves together last game, she pushed a lot for moves that'd make an interesting challenge rather than playing it safe, so protesting a plan for being unsporting in favor of Town seems more towny than wolfy coming from Xi. Of course, she might be counting on someone pointing that out, so who knows for sure?

Re: Love Letter Mafia
I like how you're playing. Very fun to read.
From a practical perspective, I'd rather vote someone else than you, assuming no actual evidence, just to keep reading the letters you are writing.

I agree with this thought.
But note that Snowblaze is only asking the Countess and Princess to claim, and their powers can't be stolen/swapped by the Prince or King.
But, yeah, massclaiming in general is... at the least, strange this game. Since you can't really verify. For one example: even if a Guard says someone lied about their Role, the claimer (truthfully or not) could say that they got swapped. Since it can't help the Town verify someone as being honest, I think claiming (outside of Princess or Countess) only helps the wolves.
I lean that Snowblaze's plan helps the town more than the wolves, but I'd like to hear more thoughts.

Re: Love Letter Mafia
Slight nitpick, @Jeen: the Baron can’t network with the confirmed town under my plan. The Princess can only be targeted by the nightkill once they’ve revealed and the Handmaidens prevent other actions from resolving on the Countess.
Also, I just realised: with Caoimhin narrating we don’t have a resident vote counter any more.

Re: Love Letter Mafia
It's good of you to pick up the slack, but I'm curious whether this will make the classic mistake of "scrolling for the vote count and gets fooled by Snow's sig" more or less prominent. (Well, it's a classic mistake for me, anyway, and I'm pretty sure someone else talked about it at some point)

Re: Love Letter Mafia
My friends and I, long gone now, we used to go exploring after curfew. We’d sneak out of the cabins and try to find the activity that would get us into the most trouble. We ended up finding this watchtower and adoring it, so far above everything, surrounded by cypress trees that cloaked us. We could exist in our own bubble. We felt invincible.
We had a perfect view of you from up here. It’s where we would tell our stories of your monsters. We would stare over the water and talk about what would happen if we decided to take one of the kayaks out to you. Maybe one night we would–just to see. By then, the bridge had been down for a few years. Who would catch us?
What an idea that had been.
Now here I am, twenty years later, still watching you. The divorced feeling has not gone away, but with no one left to share it with, it’s more like isolation than invincibility. Lucky for me, I’m quite used to that by now.
Is this what it’s like for you?
mwahahaahaha
More seriously, the Princess/Countess claim plan was what I was responding to. Mass claiming hadn't been brought up, so I guess I didn't feel the need to specify.Spoiler: Check Out my Writing!

Re: Love Letter Mafia
Spoiler: Quotes & Reactions
Be careful what you say there! I might think you are a gambler, even willing to gamble with lives at stake! This certainly is no honorable behaviour. And when there is no honor, there might be no loyality as well.
The idea is not bad, but it also brings some risks. You pointed some of them out (and I would be interested in your math for the Handmaidens, but this can wait until after the game) and gave your assessment about them. So, I will claim that I have no role involved and no major objections to your analysis. Minor negative points for the "Trust me" part of your argument. But it's propably too obvious for a wolf. I reserve the right to reasses my stance toward you if the princess or countesse gets ambushed tonight.
Hard disagree here. Massclaiming would be a huge disadvantage! Since the Handmaidens are occupied protecting the Princess and Countesse, a mass claim would allow the wolves to snipe the more useful roles. Like the Handmaidens, which we need for the plan to work.
(And, in my interpretation of the game the countesse is still female, its just someone you are allied with. Notice the OP, where two persons were arrested, the evil queen and our dear narrator. (A big thank you for your work!))
Again, mixed feelings, Snow. On the one hand, you are opposed to a mass claim. On the other hand... I don't like this!
But I like Snows songs as well, so another reason to avoid going after her.
I think you are correct about the first part (King, Prince).
You are however wrong about the second part (Baron). Snow even pointed this out in her plan. The baron can't connect anybody to this core. The princess can't be targeted after claiming. The Countess will be blocked by the handmaidens. They protect against the kill, but also prevent most other powers.
If the wolves get the countess night 1, will you change your oppinion about Snow?
Hard agree here. Xi is on my List of persons I don't want to remove from the game.
Dear Prince Roland
I bring you terrible news! The Queen has tried to assassinate the Princess. But - praise the gods - the Princess was not hurt and the Queen was arrested. She is avaiting trial in the royal dungon. However, the danger is not over yet. She still has some allies hidden in the castle. Currently, we are locked in here. I hope, at least my letter will reach you, so you can learn of the events from a trusted source.
The Princess has gone into hiding, however there is wisper she might reveal herself soon and place herself under the protection of the Countess and her trusted Handmaidens. One of the other guests of the palace, Mr Popo, claims to be the Count. Nobody objected to this till now, and I tend to believe him. Such a lie would be too easy to proove wrong.
Personaly, I suspectAvatarVecnabut I have to admit, I never liked her very much. Some time ago, I even dreamed of killing her with lightning, but she was innocent that night. Strange dream, realy, but I disgress. Pardon, Mylord.
I also don't like this stranger named BookWombat. A gambler, for sure. Maybe I can use my contacts at the servants to gain some more inforamtion about him tonight.
Yours truely,
Ambassador Rogan

Re: Love Letter Mafia
Spoiler: Handmaiden maths
My reasoning: we have 16 roles, of which 3 are wolves and two unused. So the probability of the first Handmaiden being in the wolves/unused is 5/16.
Given this, there are 15 roles left of which 4 are unused, so the probability of the second Handmaiden being in the wolves/unused is 4/15.
Multiplying this gives 1/12. Though now I think about it I’m really scared I’m going about it the wrong way. I hate probability sometimes.
Can I get people’s thoughts on Rogan’s post above? A lot of it is talking about me so I might be biased.
Also, Rogan, how random is your AV vote?I'm writing stuff, come and read it!
