Mafia Speeds: Deathgate

***Mafia: Deathgate*** is the fourth season of *The Mafia Speed Series*.

This speed quickly transitioned from a game full of chaos and confusion to a rather quiet and direct game. While the Mafia duo managed to survive in tact past three rounds, eventually their lies caught up to them when the united villagers at the end managed to easily pick those two out as vote targets. Despite some drama early on in the game, the speed season was still very intriguing to watch up until the end!

# ***Game Summary***

The speed immediately began with a few alliances from behind the scenes. Ella, Malik, and Havoc formed an alliance while Enrique, Jack, and Tommo created a group chat due to them all being a commoner or convict claim. On the first night, many of the players claimed. Malik and Ella were a notable little girl double claim, while Jade and Emmi both claimed to be healers. Because of her worry of his reputation, Ella decided to kill off **Eevee** first. She also suspected that, due to his lack of claiming, he was hiding a powerful role. Meanwhile, Ava decided to take a subtle approach and claim to be the apprentice to Alfie the detective.

During the first vote, Emmi gained the most suspicion for claiming to be a baker and then changing her claim into a double claim. This caused **Emmi** to be the first player voted out by a wide margin. When Emmi revealed herself as an aristocrat in her final words, Alfie grew to become a trusted detective. Malik also established himself as a somewhat trusted little girl when a vote against him appeared to be blocked. Accusations began to arise during the second night, causing quite a bit of confrontation in the main chat. Ella and Ava decided to kill Hades next, as Ella had instructed Jade to heal Hades. While Ella wanted to gain some trust with Jade, Hades's successful healing actually caused Jade to distrust Ella even more.

At the second execution, Ella and Enrique seemed to be getting the most heat. Enrique had come out as a blacksmith, and he found himself in a double claim with Havoc. Many players quickly became suspicious of him, and the Mafia members managed to push the vote onto **Enrique** in a chaotic 5-3-2-1 vote. To try and divert attention from herself, Ella decided to kill her close friend **Malik**, simultaneously eliminating a confirmed player. At this time, players were beginning to suspect a Mafia team of Ava, Chloe, and Ella due to their sketchy behavior in the game. The Mafia seized the opportunity to protect themselves and push the vote onto **Chloe**, whom the town was the most uncertain of.

On the next night, the Mafia team decided to kill **Alfie**, allowing Ava to supposedly take over this role. The fourth vote of the game proved to be the Mafia's downfall as both Hades and Jade were pushing hard to continue the trend of voting out the suspicious trio. **Ella** received the majority of the votes, as she still did not seem to be proven as a little girl. While the Mafia team had attempted to push the vote onto one of the two quiet players - Tommo or Jack - Hades's push against them was too strong. It was during this point of the game where Ava accidentally said that she had no searches left from Alfie, which the town realized was a slip-up because Alfie had only searched once. Though Ava killed off the strong town leader, **Hades**, she was unable to avoid the eyes of the rest of the town. **Ava** was the final player to be executed, as **Havoc**, **Jack**, **Jade**, and **Tommo** won for the town!
