Mafia Speeds: Ghoststead

***Mafia: Ghoststead*** is the second season of *The Mafia Speed Series*.

The sequel to the our first speed certainly did not disappoint. Though many of the biggest players on the cast died within the first couple of cycles, this was still a very electrifying game. The Head Mafia survived all the way to the final 4, causing excitement and paranoia all the way up to the end. This speed also boasted a historic amount of starves, 3, from one baker who was the first victim of the Mafia.

# ***Roles & Twists***

**Twists**
* **The Ghost:** As the twist of this season, the secondary ghost role was present in this game. During the first night, it was randomized who would receive this ghost role first. The ghost in this season, however, disappeared at the final four rather than at the traditional final five.

# ***Game Summary***

The game began rather calmly in the town, with Nemo playing a key role in the united town's strategy while Bayuka preferred to... cause some chaos. Overall, it was clear that most of the strategy was being done through DM's, and it took a few minutes to get the claims of the players in this game. Enrique and Life decided to kill a high-profile player first, that being **Emmi**, who revealed that she was actually the baker upon death. After this unfortunate loss for the town, they realized that it was the best move to execute **Eternal**, who had yet to claim. Hades's name was also brought up, as an unconfirmable hunter, but Eternal was executed and revealed as the jester! Eternal decided to take the card of **Swaggy**.

Shortly afterward, Enrique was outed for his mistake in claiming the blacksmith. When told that the blacksmith was not actually a role in the speed series, he hastily backtracked and claimed to be the herbalist instead. However, many players didn't buy his excuses and placed him as the primary target. During the second night, **Nemo** was killed, but he was protected successfully by the ghost. Ultimately, despite his pushes against Eternal, who was still an unconfirmable sheriff, **Enrique** became the second player executed.

After both Bernkastel and Bayuka searched Enrique, confirming him as the accomplice, Life decided that it was necessary to kill the strategy-savvy **Bernkastel**. At the same time, **Stella** starved. Bayuka impulsively decided to search Stella, too, bringing both annoyance and suspicion upon this detective. At this point, the town decided it best to execute **Eternal** again for the aforementioned reasons. During this third execution, Eevee used his double vote to prove himself as the aristocrat, but Life abstained to counteract this action.

Though **Neb** was protected from being killed by the ghost, **Bayuka** instead starved. At the fourth vote, Eevee volunteered to take the fall for the team, and he offered to be voted out. Life was narrowly saved by this sacrifice, and **Eevee** became the fourth player executed. During the previous night, Jade discovered Life as evil, but the town decided that Jade could potentially be corrupted alongside Eevee, thus persuading Nemo, Neb, and Hades to vote against the strong Mafia player.

Hades hunted Life for the second consecutive night, causing the random kill this time to instead land on **Jade**, but she was healed. In an unprecedented third starve, **Hades** became the final townsperson to die. At the final vote of the game, it was a particularly easy vote for the final three villagers, united through Neb, the mayor, and **Life** became the final player executed. **Jade**, **Neb**, and **Nemo** survived to win the game for the town!
