Epilogue: Independence Day

[FM Ferengi]

After a long, hard struggle, the islanders have finally managed to eliminate Pirates and CP9 completely once and for all. The recent defeat of Marines and Rebels gave the town hard and valuable lesson - to not rely on others, and to believe in oneself. And so the islanders decided to build their future together - as the proud citizens of Cinco Island.

They will never have to rely on the help of Marines, Rebels, or anyone else for that matter - they will be solving all their problems and deal with their future enemies on their own. Today is the day when Cinco Island has declared independence from any other faction. This day is now known as Independence Day, and every year from here on the citizens of Cinco Island will be celebrating that day - the day when why managed to stand off together against Pirates, CP9, and other enemies. Today is a Victory Day!

The Town wins this game, on their own!

There are 3 awards in total. The first award will be presented by myself to the derpiest player in Forum Mafia History:

DERP HERP DERP AWARD - FM Crocodile (AppleyNO)

This award goes off to the player who made so many "derps" that he deserves a special mention - AppleyNO. As Pirate Captain, he made several pointless things that made Pirates and even CP9 to eventually lose. First, he chose a risky strategy to pose himself as "vented" player to direct the scum during the day. And right after that he goes off to kill the Ventriloquist. But death of the Ventriloquist was exactly the biggest flaw in Crocodile's strategy; once Wet Haired Caribou was freed from control, the suspicion immediately falled down on Crocodile. But at that time the town only suspected him as Ventriloqust or thought that Caribou was controlled instead. But Crocodile failed to realize that the person that was killed by him was the Ventriloqust. On top the that, Crocodile was also the one who hammered Arsonist (say thanks Buggy). So what was the final derpy move that Crocodile made? He revealed himself AS Pirate Captain, still thinking that CP9 controls the voting majority. As a result of his actions, he was lynched by the combined votes of Marines and Town, which eventually allowed then to lynch the remaining CP9 and find out the Janitor.

Wow. Revealing youself as Pirate Captain. You had huge guts to say that, Crocodile. Should you kept yourself in the image of town as "ventriloqust", you should have lived a little longer. Your last action had the most "derp" than your previous actions combined. You failed to realize that the one who was killed by you was Ventriloqust even after Luffy revealed himself as Doctor. Here, take your DERP HERP DERP award, because it's better than leaving with empty hands, AppleyNO!

The last two awards will be decided by players thenselves. Those two awards are:

BEST TOWN PLAYER IS Jewelry Bonney (Boss)

and

BEST NON-TOWNPLAYER IS Dracule Mihawk (Gerik).

To nominate someone for one of those awards, you need to send a Private Message to me. Voting process is anonymous and will be closed on Saturday or Sunday.

[FM Buggy the Clown]

On top the that, Crocodile was also the one who hammered Arsonist (say thanks Buggy).

I think me and Bonney were incredibly relieved to see that

[FM Jewelry Bonney]

yeah.
and the damn blacksmith. afk then gives a gun to mihawk.... scary af.

[FM Whitebeard]

Espozito? I am disappoint
Please learn from our mistakes here!

Don't think AppleyNo's "award" is completely warranted. Seems like he had a solid plan, but he just made a bad judgement call. At least he tried some pretty daring stuff.

I think us rebels did worse. Trying to recruit CP9 twice and revealing in day chat like we were masons or something

It's funny though that among the people I wanted to recruit were Kromos, CmG, Clementine and AppleyNO.

[FM Whitebeard]

Y I need approval to post? Meh.

[FM Wet Haired Caribou]

Good game everyone, that was quite something, and, gosh that was a close one!

Just some special mentions I'd like to make:

Gingerape: Most entertaining player. Thank you for the show! Really enjoyed reading your posts/interview when I was dead.
Taekyon: Really impressive for your very first FM ever! Never could've guessed who you were; you really exceeded my expectation!
Kromos: I feel bad for you! You played it well; a shame that the recruitment made you lose this.
Damus_Graves: Same as above. You were really unlucky this time; were you the one that tried to -suicide?
clementine: As always, really impressed by your plays. That was quite the tricks you pulled as the Vent; But now everyone thinks I lost my wallet....
Gerik: I hate you for cracking my code. I can only blame myself for this one. I have to say; you are a really dangerous scum! You were pinned as town by most for the majority of the game; a shame that the lynch on Kuma had to reveal you!
Slaol: Aw man... I was wondering where you were! A shame you had to die so early
AppleyNO Bold move with the vented claim. Really is a shame you guys didn't realize you had killed the vent; that pretty much outed you there. :x
To all the Marines: You guys did great! Even though you lost two of your members so early in the game, the two others managed to stay alive for quite a while; really helping the town with this one! I don't know what would have happened if Nami didn't confirm Gecko as a non-Pirate!

Already looking forward to the next one!

[FM Fire Fist Ace]

I like how the pirate captain allways tried to kill cp9 members. He targeted dracule the first night, then don krieg and finally basil(2 times).

[FM Soul King Brook]

haha crocodile LVP
i'm content with the game and how i played. the best thing was so solve all the puzzles in the dead chat^^ was great fun and on top of that we won. looking forward to my personal FM II

ps: don krieg you were right i am apache^^

[FM Jimbei]

Thanks to Raptorblaze and Fragos for hosting.

Best town (not in order): Luffy for night actions, Ace for effort, Buggy for monologues
Best non-town: Someone from CP9

[FM Fire Fist Ace]

Crocodile was also the one who hammered Arsonist (say thanks Buggy).

They should thank me for starting the random lynch train against apoo and getting all the scums to vote with me!

[FM Soul King Brook]

You shouldn't overrate luffy just because he was the doctor. of course if you have the luck to roll doctor you get some heals, especially if they are that obvious than this time. his mistake was actually to reveal after basil died. that didn't help and got you killed (even they needed very long for it)

anyway, he didn't play bad in general but imo he's not mvp. actually i don't know who should be mvp

Agreed, luffy was not on anyones scumlist there was no reason for him to reveal that he was the real doctor. The cp9 obviously knew that the real doctor was alive so they would probably try to aim for lurkers if luffy didn't reveal.

I don't think that counts..

[Trafalgar Law]

Hihi.

[FM Jimbei]

Hihi.

Didn't see you in night chat. We did you go?

[Trafalgar Law]

Didn't bother logging in after I died. No night chat access anyway. Where is CmG?

[FM Dracule Mihawk]

I agreed with you about Appley until I saw his night targets... It seems my witching was the only thing that kept cp9 alive for so long. The pirates would have all but wiped us out by day four if I hadn't been witching him. And the moment I stopped witching him was when he killed our vent. LOL

I never should've trusted you to choose your own night actions, Appley!

Gerik: I hate you for cracking my code. I can only blame myself for this one. I have to say; you are a really dangerous scum! You were pinned as town by most for the majority of the game; a shame that the lynch on Kuma had to reveal you!
Slaol: Aw man... I was wondering where you were! A shame you had to die so early

I think Slaol actually asked to be replaced when the game started. Not sure why it's not shown on the list. Maybe because he died so early.

Haha, sorry about cracking your code. But thanks for making it so easy.
I always seem to do well as scum, but I can never quite win. Such is my curse.

I'd like to give a shout out to Roronoa Zoro (42shadow42). I really enjoyed your play this game. When you claimed student and tried to get Bonney lynched, I knew immediately that you were the jester (I was jester before the reroll) and was impressed with your level of commitment to that claim. The day Bonney claimed she interviewed me, I had kind of hoped you would come in and deny it, because I was thinking about denying it with you to see if we could get you/Bonney lynched. But you didn't post in time, so I had to be honest about it.

I really wanted you to win, though. If we managed to eliminate the town, I intended to have pirates and marines lynch you and whichever side had more survivors would get to win with us. But alas, it was not to be.

Thanks to Fragos and Raptorblaze for hosting! It was fun, even though I wish some things had gone differently.

[FM Dracule Mihawk]

Best Town - Clementine as Big Mom

LOL.

Agreed!

It's a shame that he ended up focusing the one town that got confirmed first.
I really thought he was an Executioner, actually!

[FM Fire Fist Ace]

So when are you going to open the faction night chat rooms?

[FM Whitebeard]

I agreed with you about Appley until I saw his night targets... It seems my witching was the only thing that kept cp9 alive for so long. The pirates would have all but wiped us out by day four if I hadn't been witching him. And the moment I stopped witching him was when he killed our vent. LOL

On the other hand, CP9 also killed 2 marines and a pirate. That wasn't too good for your self preservation either ;)

[FM Big Mom]

I, personally, am very disheartened for this game's ongoings and not for getting vented so often, why I was targeted specifically I do not know, but it has to do with issues behind the scenes, of which I will not reveal here as a courtesy to certain members of the forums.

[CmG]

Didn't bother logging in after I died. No night chat access anyway. Where is CmG?

I'm here. sup?

[FM Dracule Mihawk]

Touche. But at least I eventually stopped killing allies! Appley kept trying to kill us!
I understand Appley's reasoning: kill the most pro-town players. The problem with this game is that most of the pro-town players were scum. Hehe.

Damus! Sorry we had to shut you down so early, bud. I'm sure you would've caught us all if we hadn't vented/killed you. But that's precisely the reason we did!

I'm sure you were the one Fragos prevented from suiciding for one specific night (the night before you were lynched, I would guess). Though it certainly helped my team, I agree that it shouldn't have happened. Suicides (and any mechanic, really) should either be allowed or forbidden for the entire game, and the host should not be able to change whether or not it is allowed from day to day. They also shouldn't extend day for no reason... *grumble grumble*

[FM Don Krieg]

Aw yeah, the chats are now open! Gotta read them. :3

[CmG]

Haha Nick. Once again Tibbers executed you :P

[Damus_Graves]

Your Night One chat provides a lot of amusement.
<3
There is not much of a problem here between players and myself. I am just happy to know I did indeed find a scum on day one again.

[FM Scratchmen Apoo]

I think me and Bonney were incredibly relieved to see that

I wasn't.

[Titus]

I actually replaced a pirate on Night 1. However, it didn't really matter as I didn't say anything during the day and died before I could get the result of my night action.

[NoctiZ]

Talking about me? If that is so, sure, your gut feeling is okay but your reasoning was bullshit as the person I interacted with was not my ally.

voting is ridiculous with all the people around the world with the stupid time zones. all the information should come out, then we have a chance to lynch someone. not get the pieces at the end of the day then try to lynch someone. most of the lynches were,"OH ITS TOO LATE TO TURN THIS TRAIN AROUND, GOTTA LYNCH!"

[LeaD]

you damn CP9 scrubs pushed so hard on my lynch.
To think i got wagoned by the exec + CP9, i was too damn towny.ú

Town was lucky in the end

[Damus_Graves]

Talking about me? If that is so, sure, your gut feeling is okay but your reasoning was bullshit as the person I interacted with was not my ally.

You started defending yourself way to heavily and you tried very hard, too hard with no basis, to discredit my attempts and from what I saw tried to make me scummy.

I just didn't like Boa in this game, you were my real suspect.

[Jim]

Bad town is bad, so much luck seeing as they followed bad leads and no smarts most game.

[NoctiZ]

You started defending yourself way to heavily and you tried very hard, too hard with no basis, to discredit my attempts and from what I saw tried to make me scummy.

I just didn't like Boa in this game, you were my real suspect.

The way I see it you tried to push too hard with no basis and I couldn't fathom why because your claim was obviously bullshit and I hope you knew that, but thanks to that situation it was easy to figure out who you were and we could get you out of the game.

[Damus_Graves]

I do not hide my COM so nothing you did would have helped anyone find out who I was.
"Just because you cannot see logic does not mean logic does not exist"
Which claim are you talking about?
Because I faked being Marine, Pirate, and Town all throughout the day.

[CmG]

I think Fragos should be crucified for fielding anti fun roles like his butchered Ventrilloquist. Having roles like that in a game is just not fun. Really, really terrible!

Your claim about why I am scummy when I respond to a post a minute after it was posted. That was merely a coincidence.
Your other reasons I mostly disagreed with too, but I don't know them right now without looking it up.

It largely does not matter because on Day One there is only reaction tests and hard pushes against people to find scum in any capacity.

[NoctiZ]

Of course, but keep in mind that my defense would've been the same if I was a citizen. It's because I tried to look like one as the Infiltrator, my game up until Day 5 or something was basically as if I was a citizen.

Yes I agree it would have been the same for the most part but there was the fact that you were scum in the back of your mind that showed itself to me in your posts.
If you were Citizen I believe you wouldnt not have poked so many holes into my theories as you tried and just informed me I was retarded and moved on.

[Auckmid]

The people who are suspicious of me are, I think, marines trying to get a sense of me and what we intend to do. I had to deny their accusations, but tomorrow I'll see if I can't subtly communicate to them that we mean them no harm.

Actually a very insightful post. It’s hard as marines to differentiate Pirate’s from CP9, so until Law claimed Rebel Leader as Citizen (WTF?), you were my jail target.

I have control of the Pirate kill, so I wish to use that to kill Foxy the Silver Fox.

How did he butcher the vent/make it anti-fun? I thought it was fun. It made all of you suspicious of everyone!

…

Lol. Sorry, dude. Your posting style reminded me too much of Yayap and I couldn't risk leaving you alive if you were town. Plus, you FoSed Basil, so we needed to eliminate you before you pushed her too much.

[FM Wet Haired Caribou]

I think Fragos should be crucified for fielding anti fun roles like his butchered Ventrilloquist. Having roles like that in a game is just not fun. Really, really terrible!

I can confirm that this is the most anti-fun role I have ever seen.
It's almost worst than being killed. Not being able to log in and just... watch as the Vent says bullshit with your name...
The frustration. ;w;

Bad town is bad, so much luck seeing as they followed bad leads and no smarts most game.

But you lurked all game. You didn't even counterclaim Dracule until it was way too late.

[Numbertwo]

Vent should have just had 3 charges, it was abit Op that he could controll someone every night.

Even the janitor had a limit :P
