Mafia: Shalhollow

***Mafia: Shalhollow*** is the sixth season of *The Mafia Series*.

This game, with the most amount of players up to that point, contained 14 players ready to play. With much more activity than the previous season, gameplay came on immediately. Certain players continued their old legacies, while a certain player grew into an all-new, explosive villain. Eventually, after some final attempts to survive, the villagers were able to pull through with another victory against the mafia.

This game lasted from February 12, 2021 up to February 20, 2021. With plenty of activity, the game moved *very* quickly, despite there being plenty of penalty votes throughout the game.

# ***Roles & Twists***

**Twists**
* **Blitz Kill:** At a random point in the game, the mafia would be able to kill two villagers in the same round. Only the mafia was informed of what specific round in which the blitz kill would take place before this event actually happened.

# ***Game Summary***

Everyone started playing *very* hard, right off the bat. Several players began to share their roles. Immediately suspicion fell on Brainz and Ella, who both claimed to be the psychic, and (in a more quiet manner) Noah and Meuh, who both claimed to be the jester. With many hard players in the game, constant strategy began spreading everywhere, with a plan to take out Brainz and Ella as the first two executions. After **Havoc** was killed, Dani began to get fed up with the other commoners, saying that they were all annoying. She approached Brainz and told him that she knew he was the mafia or accomplice and wanted him to win. Brainz was thankful, but he knew that his impending doom could no longer be avoided. So **Brainz** was the first person voted out of the game.

Everyone began to trust Ella was the psychic, especially Aster, who asked her to copy and paste the whole conversation she had with Brainz. He realized she told the truth about everything and thus had to be safe, as she could not fabricate that long of a conversation that quickly. However, Noah wanted to cause some chaos, and he lied to Ella that Eevee also claimed to be the psychic to him. A quiet conspiracy began to form against Eevee from this point onward. Additionally, he also campaigned very hard against Meuh, wanting to be the only jester remaining in the game.

**Nemo** was killed for his high threat status in the game, much to the worry of both Ella and Aster, and causing Jaiveer to automatically lose his vote. While several people, like Dani, were trying to keep the vote on Noah and Meuh, several players were secretly turning the other direction, led by Ella. That group successfully blindsided **Eevee**, however, it was unsuccessful as he was the judge all along.

Next came the blitz kill, in which Meuh needed, seeing time slipping away. He decided to kill two more massive threats - **Dani** and Aster - but the latter healed himself and was thus saved from elimination. Unfortunately, due to a busy schedule, **Jaiveer** was forced to drop out of the game the following day. All eyes were now on Noah and Meuh, the two clear obvious targets. Ella kept her eye on both Aidan and Nic, thinking them both to be quiet suspects. However, after some fighting from both Noah and Meuh against each other, the majority decided to eliminate Noah. But Noah was the *jester*, allowing him to take someone else's card instead. In one of the most stupid moves of the game, Noah took **Meuh's** mafia card, and they were eliminated from the game.

Despite constant defenses from Noah, Aster was listening to *none* of it. Over the next two days, both Aster and Noah argued against one another, both trying to overtake each other. There were quite a few red flags when Noah said he would vote Aster next, so Aster was sure he would be the next to die. Instead, in a partially-strategic move, Noah decided to eliminate his closest ally, **Ella**, hoping to lower suspicion against him. But it was not enough as **Noah** was still voted out almost unanimously, now being permanently eliminated from the game. The five survivors were **Aidan**, **Aster**, **Meli**, **Nic**, and **Nix**.
