Welcome to Bastard Anniversary Mafia!
It’s been a year since I joined the forums, and to celebrate I will be hosting my first bastard game!
Host: Psychoneirik
Cohost: Livicus
Game is over, Marluxion won. Second place was RagnaroekIV. Third place was Isaac_Gonzales.
The bastard mechanic was that everyone was a neutral killer and all flips were fake. Last player standing won.
