Host's Summary[]

I was very surprised that Vine lasted as long as she did in this game, especially after both some goodie and baddie players had identified her. Nevertheless, Vine did a great job at staying under the radar for the most of the game. I’m also quite surprised that she won through her secondary wincon, not once using her RRR ability. I believe that her level of power and ability was justified and fitted with her wincons. I do not think she had a level of power too high. Vine successfully survived 7 nights and 7 days. That’s a great feat in itself. There were countless opportunities to have her lynched or NK’d however Vine stayed under the radar. The other players knew full well the extent of her vote manipulation powers and by the middle of the game some had identified who she was. By not lynching/ NKing her sooner Cady was able to use these given powers to take the win. So Congrats! |

Clozo [Amber] had mixed luck with her 4, 1 time abilities. The first few didn’t go so well for her, however she then hit the jackpot N5 when she saved herself, preventing the NK against her. Slick was on his way to obtaining Karen Smith’s ID [mew] through his RID Guess but was lynched before he got to do so. I was surprised though that Slick didn’t attempt to RID either Kevin [Shad] or Duvall [Phaze] as both of those roles had opportunity to be improved. Nevertheless Phaze was recruited to the Plastics so it was for the better in the end. Shad was also NK’d quite early, before she could use her save affectively. Nana was killed N1 and thus her bodyguard role never came in to action, leaving EDM open the entire time. The Heron’s also had a secret ability in their BTSC. They were told the RID’s of the NK’d players and were able to use this information in their own decision making without leaking it to the other players. |

Fat Tony died D1 leaving the Baddies at a disadvantage from the get go. Mew did a good job at leading the rest of the Plastics for the rest of the game until D6. They correctly RID Recruited Phaze, who contributed a lot to the Plastics once he was in the BTSC. Sadly for them he died the very next day - a good job on the goodies part! Brainy’s final decision literally decided the outcome between either a goodie or indy win. It was extremely interesting to see the end game play out for this. I knew that if Brainy wasn’t killed earlier on, or atleast mid-way, through the game, that her vengeful kill would have serious influence over the game results. Of course, it did. Brainy did a fantastic job of staying under the radar as the evil queen Regina George for the majority of the game. |

The Heron BTSC was very quiet. In this game’s development I had designed the Heron’s BTSC to be a ‘safe place’ where the Heron’s could discuss their own thoughts in the safe knowledge that it wasn’t going to out their role or threaten their position. They also got to know the NK’d players RID. However, upon reflection I can see how their lack of abilities didn’t inspire much conversation. This is something that, for any future games I design, I would be sure to avoid; giving such BTSC’s some sort of action to keep them interested. I had a small issue with the blocks in this game, deciding which went through successfully and which failed. [You can see discussion on this in both the Ghosts Thread, and Mod Thread] Overall though I’m relatively happy with how I went about the blocks in this game. In future games however I know that it’s important to specify what counts as a ‘successful block’ and what ‘fails’. Overall, activity was pretty good. It did dwindle though towards the end of the game. D7 in particular had me worried. I thought that no-one was going to vote. Right at the end though some votes came in. |

MVP of Mean Girls Mafia goes to GM! He was a strong force on the goodies team. He successfully identified and helped lynch all of the baddies that died when he was alive. He was a major reason for the D1 lynch of Fat Tony and he made some strong block choices also, particularly on mew [Karen]. Despite being such a huge goodie force in this game he still managed to survive until N7. Congratulations GM! |

| Night 2: Fugly Sleep |
|---|
|
As the bell rang after last period everyone was keen to get home. It was a big first day. One student, who overheard Vine and EDM talking at lunch that day about how they needed their beauty sleep, thought it would be hilarious to send them texts from IAWY’s phone which they’d stolen that day. As Vine and EDM brushed their teeth and put on their PJ’s they got two little texts. “Night Betches…enjoy your fugly sleep. Let’s hope it helps” As everyone made their way to school to start the next day IAWY was seen crying as Vine and EDM approached him about the mean message. “I lost my phone” he pleaded. It couldn’t have been me. N2 Results
|
| Day 2: He did WHAT!?! |
|---|
|
IAWY and Slick were running scared all throughout the day as the students plotted to throw water bombs at them. Everyone thought they had Slick cornered, until that nasty superintendent, on one of his routine visits, stepped in to break up the fight. No one was getting bullied in this school. "He doesn't even go here" one of the students yelled out. "He's not the principal." The creepy janitor just listened quietly, mopping up the remains of the water balloons. D2 Result: Tie Lynch between Slick and IAWY: No lynch. |
| Night 3: Lurking In A Leotard |
|---|
|
All of the students knew that the annual talent quest was approaching fast and competition was getting fierce. Sabotage was already occurring and growing on an exponential level. Shadow was at home working on what was to be a spectacular performance. The Plastics would NOT be out performed. All it took was a carefully placed trip wire on Shadows familiar walk home to send the poor student straight to the hospital. Finished. The strongest competition was out of the running. But that wasn’t all the mischievous behaviour occurring that night. A couple of other students had their own plans up their sleeves to ensure that Phaze and EDM would not be able to prepare for the big day. One girl even took to stalking her biggest competition: Slick. As Slick stitched his leotard and made sure it all fit evenly, someone was watching, through the windows. And this time…it wasn’t Kits the creepy Janitor. Or maybe he was their too…lurking in the shadows observing everything. Maybe the students secret little plans weren’t so secret after all? N3 Results

| Day 3: Narcotic Norbury |
|---|
|
As Cady went into Norbury's senior calculus class (she's a junior but she loves math because its the same in every country...poetic...) all seemed as normal. Cady stared into the back of Aaron Samuel's hair. It was pretty obvious she had a thing for him, but she had to try to hide it because he used to date Regina and before Gretchen ran out of the school crying she told her that she cannot date a friends ex-boyfriend. "I mean... that's the rules of feminism!" Just as Norbury began opening the lesson Mr Duvall stepped into the room. "Mrs Norbury, I'm afraid I have to escort you to my office". Anyway to make a long story short turns out Norbury was done for selling crack! Allegedly, that is. As if being a nerdy math teacher wasn't enough, the students now had more ammo to fire at poor Ms Norbury. When Amber asked who was supplying she heard "Some guy named Slick" being bounced around the hall. D3 Results: Slick Bullied. |
| Night 4: Cold, Hard Plastic |
|---|
|
Gretchen just wasn’t the same after her humiliation in the cafeteria that fateful day and frankly The Plastics were over it. It was time to add another lucky person into their clique. Carefully they considered each person of interest until they had the perfect idea. No-one would see this one coming. Soon the lucky candidate was morphed into what Janis would put as “cold, hard, shiny plastic!” In the other neck of the woods GM was receiving creepy anonymous phone calls by someone claiming to be “a secret admirer”. Meanwhile Clozo was receiving similar creepy messages on her twitter feed. Someone was doing some friendly neighbourhood prowling. N4 Results

| Day 4: Melted Plastic Cheese |
|---|
|
The school was bustling today, with most students gossiping and snickering all throughout the day. News quickly spread about the Plastics new member. They thought they had been smart and had done the unexpected.... They hadn't extended an invitation to a student, but rather, the principal. *Gasp* Too bad. The plan failed. As Mr Duvall sat in the teachers lounge grilling his cheese toasties he heard a loud bang coming from the hall. His assistant came rushing in "The students have gone wild!". Mr Duvall fetched his trusty baseball bat and headed into the hall to see what was going on. As his first step left the room he was knocked to his feet and dragged through the hall, his grilled cheese leaving a stringy trail behind him. "This is bull...." Regina spat. "First spaghetti, now cheese! What's next?!? I cannot take this! I'm on an all carb diet!" "I like cheese", Karen quickly began Regina just palmed Karen's face. D4 Results: Phaze - the recruited Mr Duvall - was lynched. |
| Night 5: Wax On, Wax Off |
|---|
|
Clozo was busy waxing her legs in preparation for tomorrow's talent quest. I mean, she was wearing a mini skirt, and it would be just disgusting to do that 'al natural'. All seemed normal until Clo began noticing a faint burning smell. Mew was chilling out by the old abandoned Walmart. He was just doing his thing...you know...being cool and such. Suddenly a dark figure approached mew, king-hit him (softly...ish) and ran away. Mew was okay, but a bit dazed and confused. N5 Results
|
| Night 6: Walmart Strikes Again |
|---|
|
Mew decided that he'd go back to the abandoned Walmart after last nights shenanigans. The plan was to hopefully run into the attacker and get sweet sweet revenge. Or, at least, ask the mystery figure to apologize for giving him an 'owie'... Well, luckily for Mew the mystery figure was there again. Did Mew face up to the big scary shadow? Nope. He got hit. Again. And that's all that happened. Was the lack of any other activity, possibly of the recruitment kind, a result of a big fail? Deliberate action? Or...maybe...something else entirely? Probs not though.
