Inspired by the party games Werewolf and Mafia, Town of Salem is a game of murder, mystery and deception.

Okay, so this game is seriously addicting. I have been playing a few games throughout the day whenever I get time, and some with friends. It's soo much fun. It's almost like watching a movie with a different ending every time. I'm making a topic so anyone can post what cool stuff that happens when they win or loose, and maybe schedule a playtime for whoever wants to join.

Anywho, my pic for the day is below.
The quality is a bit bad because I took it with my phone in a hurry trying to avoid the will that was about to pop up. (I was sending it to my friend who is also addicted.)
I was the arsonist and had been randomly dousing people the whole game. The mafia did a good job at destroying the entire town in only 3 turns. I decided to ignite everyone I had doused, and to my surprise, this was the result:

I killed the entire mafia leaving only the serial killer, lol. Win!

I only play custom games. Kinda hate the people who go All Any or do a bunch of randoms. People don't know how to balance roles very well.

Well it's kinda messed up atm. The people that play must have like severe cases of ADHD because they can never wait the damn 30 seconds it takes for the host to pick the roles. If a host even tries they say "HURRY UP START" and repick D: unless they are unlucky enough to have me and my friends in the room lol.

This is an example of the unfortunate state of internet gaming today, it seems; even MMOs, which are more or less about the game's "epic journey" tend to end up as a race to the end of the game and then sitting around in chat lobbies being bored because they've reached the end. Ah, human nature.... :P


I haven't actually tried Salem yet, but it looks like a ton of fun. My family will sometimes play Mafia at family reunions, and it's a blast. I'll definitely have to give this a try.

I've played this a few times and it was really cool. I'm not really a big Mafia player so its taking me a while to get used to it. Right now I pretty much suck, but I think I'm progressively getting better :D

I've never actually played a game of Mafia before. The closest thing I've played to it was The Resistance, but there are no roles in that game.

I introduced it to my friend yesterday and we played a few rounds. First game he shot me as a Vigilant when I was clearly a Sheriff. Second we were both mafia, lost our GF in the first day, and I was Mafioso-ing everyone to victory. Third game, I was a Blackmailer and my friend was the Serial Killer. He gave himself away when he said out loud "I was attacked. But I'm immune." I said I was a Vigilant and attempted to shoot him, getting him hung. That act alone made me trusted and we were able to ax off every townsman after that.

I still cannot win as Serial Killer. I get close to like 6 people, but all it takes is one person to vote for you (reason unnecessary) and suddenly everyone follows suit.

@rose: this is unfortunate but very true. I think they should add some kind of temp mute that blocks from repick and chat if you get reported by like 5 people.

@kk20: Dude you just have to lie really well. Try not to be obvious and also try to help them find the mafia. Kill the people who talk a lot first and then kinda turn the remaining people against eachother

Lies mean nothing in this game. No one EVER votes innocent. And if they do, its usually the mafia members defending their own. I have only witnessed a majority innocent like two times.

When I'm the mafia (Mafioso in particular), I can easily pass as a Vigilante and sway the town to liking me.
When I attempt the same thing as the SK, I'm immediately targeted the next day.

With that said, I made it to three people left. I pretended I was the Escort (only viable role left that made sense) while the other two were a Veteran and Vigilante. I had to kill off the Mayor because he would be my biggest threat. I was hoping the Vigilante had already used their bullets but they spent it attacking me. I tried my best to sway the other guy to vote me innocent and pin the Vigilante as the SK but he was like "idc if i lose it's just a game". Guilty.

And yes, I did contribute to the town to get the mafia and arsonist hung.

Actually lies matter a whole lot! I've never lost as Sk all because I lied. Some usually good players will listen to evidence and vote innocent otherwise, the moons just vote guilty lol. We should play a match together

I'm really bad at lying. I remember way back in the day when Neopets was all the rage (and I was probably ten years old,) they had an online game called Cheat! which was where you play cards without anyone seeing what they are, and if you don't have the right cards, you have to play the wrong cards and say that you are playing the right cards. If you ever think anyone is cheating, you call them out, and if you are right, they have to take the cards, and if you are wrong, you take them. I was really bad at that game.

Anyway, sorry for the tangent. It is somewhat applicable. XD

Just finished a game as Mafia. I was Janitor.

It got down to me, Godfather, and Jailor. I say "I'm GF by the way :)" and the Jailor jails me.
I tease him a bit at night, going "Oh no! Don't kill me :(" pretending to be a n00b while anticipating victory.

Next day, Jailor is still alive.

...

WTF Godfather?!
Worst Mafia loss ever.

@rose: Amg xD, Neopets. I don't know if it's the same thing as a gigapet, but I used to have a lot of those lol. Tangent accepted, it was applicable lol :P

@kk20: Omg lol. Did you tell them who the jailor was or was it obvious?

KK20

There were only just us 3 left. He only had ONE person he could potentially kill. Just left click once and we would have won.

In other news, I have won a game as an arsonist with the name Firehydrant. It's pretty funny how I made it through despite the Investigator calling me out.

Off topic, oh yeah Neopets. My childhood throughout elementary school and the reason for even having this KK20 name. Cheat! was against computer opponents though, so lying and getting caught was just the result of RNG. It's too easy of a game--Neoquest I/II was where it was at. I still check it now and then, mainly for the stock market (holy hell over 25 million neopoints) but the site has gone to shit thanks to Nickelodeon.

But I still felt ashamed every time I was caught....

D: Long ago, I would have given my right arm for 25 million Neopoints. Think of all of the paintbrushes I could buy....

I haven't been on Neopets myself in years and years and years, but I did see my little sister playing the ice cream dodging game the other day. :P

It's all about the tamagotchis, y'all! Lol, jk. We should play some salem together if you guys have time
