Mafia: Treasure's Edge

***Mafia: Treasure's Edge*** is the twenty-first season of *The Mafia Series*.

This short and sweet game was the introduction to generation 3, with several new players who were very excited to start the game. Having a good amount of hard gameplay, this stands as a top-tier season with much interest and strategy from the players throughout. This season also featured several unique twists that brought new surprises to the game around every corner, and it eventually led to a win for the villagers when the Mafia team on Shellhollow could not hold onto their position any longer.

This game lasted from November 21, 2021 up to Novermber 27, 2021. Despite having 22 players, the group was divided into two halves. This practically caused the game to be half the length as other games, as only 11 players were playing together at one time. As a nice contrast to the chaotic, last game, there was a lot of activity present in this game.

# ***Roles & Twists***

**Twists**
* **Two Beaches:** The 22 players were divided into 2 groups of 11, both on separate beaches: **Bonebeach** and **Shellhollow**. The players could not contact with those on the opposite beach unless specified otherwise.
	+ **Combined Mafia:** The two Mafia teams had contact with one another throughout the game. *However,* if the Mafia team on one side was defeated, the Mafia on *both* sides of the game would lose, and the game would end.
* **Island Swaps:** After every night, one player from each beach sailed to the other. The swapped players would become a member of the new opposing island. The Head Mafia and judges could not be swapped (though judges could if the other died on the other beach)

# ***Game Summary***

Bonebeach
The Bonebeach island began the game much more peacefully than the opposing island. With players such as Meli and Havoc in charge, most of the players were claiming roles, with Anton (claiming to be joker) and Hades (claiming to be commoner) gaining the most suspicion for their more-unconfirmable roles. The inactive psychic, **Lance**, was the first victim to Brainz and Harp.

The two Mafia members were completely avoiding suspicion currently, with Brainz claiming to be a detective and Harp claiming to be a joker following Brainz. The entire island was shocked when Havoc sailed from the island, and Mooly stood in his place. Mooly quickly gained suspicion as an unconfirmable noble. However, **Anton** was the first to be executed among a general consensus from the town. Much to his disappointment, Brainz decided that it was best to kill his friend, **Avtron**, next, as they were a judge with no rivalling claims, aside from Emmi on the other island.

During the next vote, Alfie found her long lost cousin, BT, which primarily confirmed her as well as her partner. In addition, Jelk arrived at Bonebeach while Life sailed off to Shellhollow. **Hades** was executed in an easy vote, as he was completely unconfirmable as a commoner. On the third night, **Mooly** was killed by the Mafia, as having two votes close to the endgame could be very dangerous. Emmi sailed to Bonebeach as Meli departed. In a dramatic vote, Alfie decided to cast a vote on the other side of the game, so there were only five votes at the trial. When Sponge self-voted, the vote tied 2-2 between Emmi and Brainz. However, no re-vote occured as it wasn't needed. The Mafia had already been executed from the Shellhollow island, and the game ended. **Alfie**, **Emmi**, **Jelk**, and **Sponge** were proclaimed the victors on this island. While **Brainz** and **Harp** survived, they lost the game.

Shellhollow
The Shellhollow island started with significantly more chaos than the other. There were much more grand personalities in this side of the game, including Cam, Malik, Sock and Zoe. Malik and Zoe even got into a fight on the first night, though it never affected the strategy of the game too much. Suspicion fell onto BT early for not claiming. When no one claimed to be the Long Lost Cousin (which was BT's role), HBomb, the accomplice, decided to claim it. Sock, the confirmed sheriff, was the first to be killed as a possible strategic threat, but he was healed by the healer! That day, Mooly sailed off to Bonebeach while Havoc arrived.

On the second day, everyone had yet to hear from BT and thus he was placed as a major target. However, when BT arrived to claim the long lost cousin, he was able to confirm himself with Emmi and Jelk, who were the dominant strategic forces of the island. These two promptly switched the vote to **HBomb**, much to Cam's distress. Cam, now the lone Mafia on his side, became a target for his double aristocrat claim, alongside Malik. **Noah**, a simple commoner claim, became the second victim to the Mafia, attempting to make Zoe look like a target as the other commoner claim. However, no one bought this, and Cam became the primary target. At that time, Jelk left Shellhollow and Life arrived in his place.

It looked like the Mafia was going to be caught in just the first two executions, and Cam was in despair. However, he had one more trick up his sleeve. He pushed the vote onto the mysterious Havoc, who had caused anything but peace while on Shellhollow - as he had claimed multiple roles with no clear answer (though he confirmed multiple times that he was a commoner). He turned the vote unanimously to blindside **Havoc**, saving himself for the next round. Cam, however, had not yet escaped suspicion.

He killed the confirmed **Andrew** next, trying to rid the town of all impossible votes. During that night, Meli arrived while Emmi departed. At the following vote, Cam attempted to push the vote onto the other aristocrat claim, Malik. However, others such as Sock and BT, with the previous advice of Emmi, blindsided **Cam**, as Cam only convinced Meli to side with him. Thus, the Shellhollow Mafia had been eliminated and the game ended on both islands. The Shellhollow survivors and winners were **BT**, **Life**, **Malik**, **Meli**, **Sock**, and **Zoe**.
