Mafia 69: noXkill - Game over!

I – Game Status


noXkill (no cross kill) Mafia

Backup Mod: Zindaras

Image

Nox Hill has the same problem of any other small town: It’s a battleground for the Mafia and the Werewolves, in an ancient battle to see who can wipe out the population first.
The difference is that here the citzens can’t rely on one faction killing members of the other. To have the job done they must lynch (and lynch right).
On the other hand the bad guys will also need scumhunting abilities like never before, since the opposite group will be immune to their kills.
Who will be the winner of this dramatic battle? That’s what we will see now:

Game on.
Play with honor.

II – Rules


1- VOTING

Votes must be in bold. (vote:player)
It’s not necessary to unvote, unless you really don’t want your vote to be in any particular player.

2- LYNCHES

A Lynch occurs once a simple majority is reached.
At deadline the player with the most votes is lynched.
If at deadline two players have the same number of votes the lynch is decided by a duel (something like scissors/rock/paper). Duels do not apply to endgame situations.

3- DEADLINES

Basic deadline is 30 RL days after the start of a Game Day. After there are 9 or less players alive deadline is 3n, where n is the number of living players.
Don’t worry, deadlines are negotiable. If the town needs extra time, it will be given.

4- BAH POSTS

Once your death scene is posted it’s game over for you. Don’t spoil the fun for the others.
A “Go team!” post is acceptable, though.

5- COMMUNICATION

Do not discuss the game outside the thread unless you are allowed by your role pm.
If your role allows you to discuss the game remember to ONLY do it at the Night phase.

6- POST EDITION

Don’t edit or delete your previous posts. Do not use invisible text.
At the moment you decide to cheat you are already declaring yourself a loser.

7- NIGHT CHOICES

Night choices must be sent before deadline.
After deadline choices are either random or nonexistant, it depends on the mod’s mood.

8- PM QUOTING

Don’t quote any PMs by the mod.
Winning condition for town is: “You win if by endgame there are no scum members alive, even if you are already dead”

9- PEACE AND LOVE.

Respect the other players.
It’s just a game, it’s not worth starting “real” fights because of it.

10- DOUBTS

Any question you have or mistake I may have made feel free to pm me.
I will try to make at least one vote count per page.

III – Policies


1- ACTIVITY CHECKS

Once or twice a week I will be sending activity checks to all players who haven't posted in the last 72 hours.
If you receive an AC please don't feel offended, this is my way of keeping the game alive by making sure all players are still around.
Simply opening the AC PM is enough to inform me that you are still around and playing. No need to answer the PM.

2- PRODS

Prods will be sent by request of other players, or if an AC PM is not opened several days after it has been sent.
If you receive a Prod PM you are expected to post ingame. Answering the PM is not necessary.
If a player has not opened or has opened but ignored the prod several days after it has been sent I will start looking for replacement.

MIDNIGHT EYES


Zindaras is taking a midnight walk on the woods. His thougs are lost far away as his mind is filled with sadness for the absence of his beloved Spectrumvoid.
Suddenly, his awareness is brought back by a strange feeling of danger.
He looks around and sees nothing.
- Is anyone there?


His question is answered by a sound of breathing. Not human breathing, more like the open-mouthed breath of a dog.
He looks in the sound direction and sees a pair of big, evil, reddish eyes staring at him.

He starts to slowly walk away from whatever is standing there, trying to convince himself it must be his imagination.
- No, this can't be happening. Not here, not now, not with ME. I'm probably on bed having a nightmare. When I look again it won't be there anymore.


He looks back again and the eyes are closer and closer to him, approaching slowly, but faster than he was walking.
He decides to walk faster.
- No. Why ME? It's not fair. I play so many games, everyone loves me. Why not with a bad player, or a spammer? This is all Dead Rikimaru's fault! I hate him! I hate him!


At this point he start to hear the footsteps of the monster. It is obviously moving faster now. He looks back again and is able to see the light of the full moon shinning from the thing's sharp, long teeth.
Now Zindaras really starts to run.
- Nooooooo. Not today! Please God, let me llive to see Spectrumvoid one more time! I promise I will never be scum again! Noooooooo.


At this point Zindaras is running as fast as he can. The thing could have easily caught him if it wanted, but there is much joy in the predator/prey game. It runs just fast enough to keep our hero in sight.
By now Zindaras is getting tired and losing speed.
- No. Why am I even trying to escape? There is no point. I will never outrun that thing. These are my last few moments and all I can do is entertain that monster.


As Zindaras' disposition to survive disappears his strengh to run disappears as well, at a certain point he can't stand anymore to walk and let his body fall to the ground. While he stares the moon the monster's running sound stops too, and he feels the it start to slowly approach.
Zindaras closes his eyes.
- Ok, I have no chance anyway. If you are going to do it, do it fast.
Goodbye, cruel world...


When Zindaras feels the hot breath close to his neck he automatically faints. Good for him, at least he didn't have to endure the pain of being eaten alive. What a lucky guy...

Wikipedia wrote:The Kübler-Ross model describes, in five discrete stages, the process by which people deal with grief and tragedy. Terminally ill patients are said to experience these stages. The model was introduced by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book On Death and Dying. The stages have become well known, and are called the Five Stages of Grief.
The stages are:

1. Denial : The initial stage: "It can't be happening."
2. Anger : "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
3. Bargaining : "Just let me live to see my son graduate."
4. Depression : "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"
5. Acceptance : "It's going to be OK."

Kübler-Ross originally applied these stages to any form of catastrophic personal loss (job, income, freedom). This also includes the death of a loved one and divorce. Kübler-Ross also claimed these steps do not necessarily come in order, nor are they all experienced by all patients, though she stated a person will always experience at least two.

PHONECALL


- Who is it?
- Hello, boss. It's "me".
- You again, stupid? What do you want now? Have you killed everyone in the city yet?
- Not yet, boss.

pause
- It's the wolves, boss.... the wolves are back.
- Hah! So those puppies are back for more. What have they done?
- Nothing yet, just ate some backup mod yesterday. But the town already decided to take action. They will lynch someone everyday until the dogs are gone.
- Do you have some silver bullets with you?
- No, er,.... we had to use them to make silverware. We were in need of spoons.
- STUPID! Now you will have to lynch the dogs to get rid of them!
- But... boss. What if the wolfs attack us at night?
- Do you still use that cheap after shave lotion?
- Yes.
- Don't worry. It's hard even for me to get close to you. Imagine those dogs with those super noses. My God, you stink!
- Sorry, boss.
- Just be careful, they will try to mix with the town to find you and lynch you too.
- Understood, boss.
- Fine, now go and I don't want to hear your voice again until everyone in this town, man or wolf, is dead. Do you hear me?
- Yes, boss.
- Stupid!

Wikipedia wrote:New Orleans was the site of the first Mafia incident in the United States that received both national and international attention. On October 15, 1890, New Orleans Police Superintendent David Hennessey was murdered execution-style. Hundreds of Sicilians were arrested, and nineteen were eventually indicted for the murder. An acquittal followed and with it came rumors of bribed and intimidated witnesses.
The outraged citizens of New Orleans organized a lynch mob and proceeded to kill eleven of the nineteen defendants.
Two were hanged, nine were shot, and the remaining eight escaped. In the 1910s and 1920s in New York City, the Sicilian Mafia developed into the Five Points Gang.

Thank you for pinting that out.
SPAGs last post on Mafia Scum was on Aug 31, and he is yet to open his role PM. I will be looking for replacement.

Wikipedia wrote:The name werewolf most likely derives from Old English wer (or were) and wulf. The first part, wer, translates as "man" (in the sense of male human, not the race of humanity). It has cognates in several Germanic languages including Gothic wair, Old High German wer, and Old Norse verr, as well as in other Indo-European languages, such as Latin vir, Irish fear, Lithuanian vyras, and Welsh gwr, which have the same meaning. The second half, wulf, is the ancestor of modern English "wolf"; in some cases it also had the general meaning "beast." An alternative etymology derives the first part from Old English weri (to wear); the full form in this case would be glossed as wearer of wolf skin. Related to this interpretation is Old Norse ulfhednar, which denoted lupine equivalents of the berserker, said to wear a bearskin in battle.

Wikipedia wrote:Sources derive the word werewolf from warg-wolf, where warg (or later werg and wero) is cognate with Old Norse vargr, meaning "rogue," "outlaw," or, euphemistically, "wolf". A Vargulf was the kind of wolf that slaughtered many members of a flock or herd but ate little of the kill. This was a serious problem for herders, who had to somehow destroy the rogue wolf before it destroyed the entire flock or herd. Herders would often hang the wolf's hide in the bedroom of a young infant, believing it to give the baby supernatural powers.The term Warg was used in Old English for this kind of wolf (see J. R. R. Tolkien's book The Hobbit) and for what would now be called a serial killer. Possibly related is the fact that, in Norse society, an outlaw (who could be murdered with no legal repercussions and was forbidden to receive aid) was typically called vargr, or "wolf.

Wikipedia wrote: After the Revolution of 1848 and the revolution of 1860, Sicily had fallen to complete disorder. The earliest mafiosi, then separate, small bands of outlaws, offered their guns in the revolt. Author John Dickie claims that the main reasons for this were the chance to burn police records and evidence, and to kill off police and pentiti in the chaos. However, once a new government was established in Rome and it became clear that the mafia would be unable to execute these actions, they began refining their methods and techniques over the later half of the nineteenth century. Protecting the large lemon groves and estates of local nobility became a lucrative but dangerous business. Palermo was initially the main area of these activities, but the Sicilian mafia's dominance soon spread over all of western Sicily. In order to strengthen the bond between the disparate gangs and so ensure greater profits and a safer working environment, it is possible that the mafia as such was formed at this time in about the mid-19th century.

Day 1 - Hangwoman


Image

It was still the first day, but paranoia was already running through their blood, eating their souls...

WhoMe?
: Good morning.
Karen
: It's scummy to give the first good morning.
vote:WhoMe?

Sonicpulsar
: Are you crazy? It's just good manners.
Karen
: Oh, no! With a bad town like this we are already doomed!
vote:Karen

Tarhalindur
: Why are you voting yourself? It makes no sense.
Green Day:
Karen is so scummy. We should hang her.
dybeck
: Are you crazy? She is just too young!
Karen
:
vote: Elvis Presley
. Obviously scum.
ZONEACE
: What? Nobody votes THE KING and live another day. Let's lynch her!
curiouskarmadog
: No, let's not kill her! Let's replace her instead!
Blight
: How can we do it?
Honary Hitchhiker
: We could take her to other city and leave her there.
Flyinghawk
: Yes, and we grab someone from that city and bring here to live in her house.
davidangelsummers
: Sure, like we did with some yogurt stealer or something...
UltimaAvalon
: Nah, let's do it the right way... KILL HER!

That said the players gathered at towncenter and prepared for the lynching. ChocolateAttack got a chair and Cephrir a piece of rope. Kison prepared the rope while thinktank positioned Karen on the chair. theopor_COD decided to prod her out of the chair, but was interrupted by Karens last words:

Karen
: Your bunch of n00bs. You can't kill me, I'm so much more experienced than all of you.
Twomz
: But you seem to be new in the town.
Karen
: Haha! I'm not myself! This is a secret alt me that I am pretending to be so no one knows who I am!
FeRnAnDo
: But, if it's supposed to be secret. Why are you saying this?
Karen
: Huh?

Took by surprise, Karen takes a step back and falls from the chair. The sound of her broken neck being the last sound from her.
Karen, townie. was lynched on Day 1


Night 1 starts now.
Please refer to your role PMs for information about night actions.
Day 2 starts in 72h, or after both factions are done with their Night conversations and all night actions received.

MOD NOTE:

The flavor in this post is just a humorous summary of the conversations during the game. No alignement and no portion of the setup is revealed there.

Night 1 - Your heart tastes like chicken


Once upon a time there was a boy named UltimaAvalon.
UltimaAvalon learned everything about the use herbs from his deceased grandmother.
He learned their use in the cure of imsomnia, to increase sexual potency, and even to make hair grow.
The most important, however, is that UltimaAvalon knew some herbs that were able to protect him from werewolf attacks. He had those along with him all the time, and although the town saw him as some kind of weirdo, he knew he was protected from evil.
But this was not his favorite herb, recently UltimaAvalon dedicated too much time to smoking a cigarrete made out of a special herb he has been cultivating on his backyard.

This night was not different. He was peacifully enjoying his joint when the very world around him seemed to change.
He wouldn't bother much if he was not changed himself. He now had several pairs of arms, blue skin and his cigarrete turned into a turkish hookah. How strange! He was now a huge blue caterpillar, leaning on a giant mushroom!
He was kind of enjoying his current situation, wondering the advantages of multiple limbs when his thoughts are interrupted by the words of a big white rabbit:

theopor_COD :
Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late!
UltimaAvalon :
Late for what, Mr. Rabbit?
theopor_COD :
To catch up with the game. Night is almost over, Oh dear, Got to run!
UltimaAvalon :
Wait, Mr. Rabbit, it's dangerous to walk around so late at night!

But the rabbit payed no attention to his claims and went ahead, in a hurry to read the game.
He walked a couple of meters but suddenly stopped, out of nowhere a pair of glowing eyes appeared floating on the air in front of him.
Gradually the rest of the body materialized to show a cat with evil eyes and a demented grin.

Image

theopor_COD :
What! Are you Zindaras?
Cheshire Cat :
No, my friend. Although I don't deny there may be some of him left in me...

The rabbit didn't understand what he meant, nor had the time to try.

theopor_COD :
Sorry, I can't talk! I have to go, I'm too late!
Cheshire Cat :
Calm down, buddy. This way you will have a heart attack.
theopor_COD :
Oh dear! Oh dear! I got to go or I shall be too late!

Fast as lightning the Cheshire Cat moved his paw, meeting the rabbit's chest with brutal strenght and making a big hole. Few seconds later the paw comes out again, this time having the rabbit's heart in it's grasp.
Deprived of its most important organ, the rabbit's body falls to the ground lifeless, while the cat takes a bite from the blood dripping muscle...

Cheshire Cat :
See? I told you your heart would be attacked, hehe! mmmm.... tastes like chicken.

That said the cat magically disappears, as like he had never been there.
UltimaAvalon could not believe his eyes, or could, since the whole reality around him seemed bent anyways.
Could it have been a dream?
Well, at least now theopor_COD won't need to read the game anymore...

theopor_COD, townie, was killed by the wolves


Alice :
Hello.

It was the sweet voice of a little girl.

UltimaAvalon :
Be careful, little girl. It's dangerous to be here!
Alice :
Why is it dangerous, Mr. Caterpillar?
UltimaAvalon :
I just saw a psycho cat take the life of that poor white rabbit over there.
Alice :
Oh, a rabbit!

The little girl goes closer to the body, stares at it for almost a minute, than steps on it and turns to the caterpillar with inquisitive eyes.

Alice :
You did this, didn't you?
UltimaAvalon :
Of course it wasn't me!
Alice :
You are a wolf, aren't you?
UltimaAvalon :
No, no! I swear for the soul of my grandmother! Not only I'm not a wolf, but I also carry these magic herbs that protect me from them.
Alice :
I'm relieved to know that, Mr. Caterpillar. Because if you were a wolf I wouldn't be able to kill you with this.

Image

The girl pulls a gun from her dress, and points to UltimaAvalon , who raises his multiple hands.
UltimaAvalon :
No, noooooo...
BAM

Somehow, in the split second between the bullet leaving the gun and hitting his head, UltimaAvalon is still able to see the demonic grin of the cat resting on the three behind the girl.
His herbs were indeed able to save him from evil, but not from all forms of evil...

UltimaAvalon , wolfsbane, was killed by the mafia

wikipedia wrote:Psychosis is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality". Stedman's Medical Dictionary defines psychosis as "a severe mental disorder, with or without organic damage, characterized by derangement of personality and loss of contact with reality and causing deterioration of normal social functioning."
People experiencing a psychotic episode may report hallucinations or delusional beliefs (e.g., grandiose or paranoid delusions), and may exhibit personality changes and disorganized thinking.(...)Some studies indicate that cannabis use may lower the threshold for psychosis, and thus help to trigger full-blown psychosis in some people. Early studies have been criticized for failing to consider other drugs (such as LSD) that the participants may have used before or during the study, as well as other factors such as pre-existing ("comorbid") mental illness. However, more recent studies with better controls have still found a small increase in risk for psychosis in cannabis users

Wikipedia wrote: The orientation ritual in most families happens when a man becomes an associate, and then, a soldier. As described by Tommaso Buscetta to judge Giovanni Falcone, the neophyte is brought together with at least three "men of honor" of the family and the oldest member present warns him that "this House" is meant to protect the weak against the abuse of the powerful; he then pricks the finger of the initiate and spills his blood onto a sacred image, usually of a saint. The image is placed in the hand of the initiate and lit on fire. The neophyte must withstand the pain of the burning, passing the image from hand to hand, until the image has been consumed, while swearing to keep faith with the principles of "Cosa Nostra," solemnly swearing "may my flesh burn like this saint if I fail to keep my oath." Joseph Valachi was the first person to mention that in court.

Wikipedia wrote: From 1860, the year when the new unified Italian state first took over both Sicily and the Papal states, the Popes were hostile to the state. From 1870, the Pope declared himself besieged by the Italian state and strongly encouraged Catholics to refuse to cooperate with the state. Broadly speaking, in mainland Italy, this took a peaceful character. Sicily was strongly Catholic, but in a strongly tribal sense rather than in an intellectual and theological sense, and had a tradition of suspicion of outsiders. The friction between the Church and the state gave a great advantage to violent criminal bands in Sicily who could claim to peasants and townspeople that cooperating with the police (representing the new Italian state) was an anti-Catholic activity. It was in the two decades following the 1860 unification that the term Mafia came to the attention of the general public, although it was considered to be more of an attitude and value system than an organization.

Wikipedia wrote: According to Armenian lore, there are women who, in consequence of deadly sins, are condemned to spend seven years in wolf form. In a typical account, a condemned woman is visited by a wolfskin-toting spirit, who orders her to wear the skin, which causes her to acquire frightful cravings for human flesh soon after. With her better nature overcome, the she-wolf devours each of her own children, then her relatives' children in order of relationship, and finally the children of strangers. She wanders only at night, with doors and locks springing open at her approach. When morning arrives, she reverts to human form and removes her wolfskin. The transformation is generally said to be involuntary, but there are alternate versions involving voluntary metamorphosis, where the women can transform at will.

Thorn wrote:Ill try to be on here tomarrow if im not able to by tomarrow night mod please replace me. im sorry again , i thought i would have more time than i did.
Well, we are past tomorrow night and Thorn has neither posted nor responded to my PM, so she should probably get replaced.
The problem is: Is a replacement really useful/necessary?

I'm inclined to not replace Green Day anymore rather than abuse the good will of a new player and have him/her read 24 pages of game just to probably get deadline lynched.

If the players think he really deserves to be lynched just do it anyway and pretend he ignored you.
If you think he deserves to see another Day I will replace him on Day 3.

I even considered modkilling Green Day for leaving the game like this, but this would only hurt the game and the players.

That said I'm still open to opinions and suggestions. And if Thorn shows up just ignore everything I've said in this post.

Free Popcorn!


Image

Another day is almost over in our beloved city, Nox Hill.
A bunch of avatarless people discuss which is the best flavor of popcorn, "waiting for Thorn" or "waiting for Cephir":

thinktank
: I like waiting for Thorn, but I prefer waiting for Cephir.
ZONEACE
: I like them both.
Flyinghawk
: I agree with zoneFace.
Kanaga
: Right now, I think we should taste a little waiting for Thorn, and then have a bit of waiting for Cephir. Then we can decide if we choose one of them or move on to a new flavor.

Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of the popcorn man, who came to deliver the town's daily fix of popcorn.
All players gather around him desperate for their fair share of popcorn.

Sonicpulsar
: mmm, I love waiting for Thorn!
Kison
: I enjoy waiting for Cephir very much.
Tarhalindur
: Waiting for Thorn blows my mind!
curiouskarmadog
: Just thinking of waiting for Cephir makes me salivate.
killerbob
: I can't stand waiting for Thorn, but waiting for Cephir is wonderful!
Twomz
: Waiting for Thorn is a little bitter, but very nutritive.
Blight
: Waiting for Cephir gives me tummy ache. That's why waiting for Thorn is my only option.
WhoMe?
: Waiting for Cephir brings me childhood memories!
ChocolateAttack
: I'm in doubt if I should change my name "Waiting for Thorn Attack" or "Waiting for Cephir attack"
davidangelsummers
: And to think we don't have those flavors in Norway... :(

All players seem happy, and that makes the popcorn man feel accomplished. But he notices not all players are eating.
In a corner, a little boy looks silently at his popcorn.

popcorn man
: Anything wrong, kid?
dybeck
: Mister, I've just been thinking: Can we have popcorn forever?
popcorn man
: Not forever, son. One time the day has to end.
The town took three weeks only waiting for this and waiting for that, and participating less and less. If you can’t decide in, like, two more weeks I’m afraid a decision will have to be taken for you.

Those last few words made the rest f the players silent as well.
The popcorn man put on his hat and goes away to deliver his popcorn no one knows where.


MOD NOTICE:

Deadline has been extended to 14 days.
Unless activity improves A LOT and there is REAL discussion going on by that date there won't be any more extensions on Day 2. So consider this deadline as final.

Curiously Thorn answered my prod today saying she had already fixed her internets and would participate.
Too late.

I'll post the lynch scene later today, keep tuned. ;)

Day 2 - HangwomEn


Image

After about 2 weeks of doing nothing, the players are bored:

Kison
:So, what do you have to say?
Thorn
:...
Twomz
:You have nothing to say for yourself?
Thorn
:...
Blight
:I can't stand it anymore, we should lynch her at once!
davidangelsummers
:Great idea!
Thorn
:...

Moved by homicidal resolution, the players drag Thorn to the towncenter.

Tarhalindur
: We'd better replace her.
killerbob
: But who would want to be on her place if she is going to get lynched anyway?
Cephrir
: Anyway she wanted to stay.
curiouskarmadog
: Guys, she has modem problems. Can't we wait for her?
Sonicpulsar
: No way!
thinktank
: Everyone was sitting on a rock waiting for her.
Flyinghawk
: We need the game to advance.
ChocolateAttack
:We can't wait forever, can we?
dybeck
: That or we could, like, focus on any of the other 16 players?

pause...

MANY
:NO!

When they finally get to the towncenter WhoMe? is waiting with the rope ready.
They make her stand on the chair and put the rope around her neck.
ZONEACE is ready to prod her out of the chair.

Kanaga
: Do you have any last words before we hang you, Thorn?

pause...

Thorn
:You are a bunch of sexist pigs. You are only lynching me because you are afraid of women's power and..

Surprised by Thorn's sudden anger burst, ZONEACE trips on his own leg and accidentally throws Thorn out of the chair, stopping her from saying anything else.
After being silent for such a long time the sound of her neck breaking was the last thing to be heard from her.

Thorn, townie. was lynched on Day 2


Night 2 starts now.
Please refer to your role PMs for information about night actions.
Day 3 starts on Saturday/Sunday, or after both factions are done with their Night conversations and all night actions received.

MOD NOTE:

The flavor in this post is just a humorous summary of the conversations during the game. No alignement and no portion of the setup is revealed there.

Night 2 - The Melancholy of Coffin Joe


Image

Coffin Joe is an undertaker. He is always seen wearing a black top hat, a black cape, and has extremely long fingernails.
His ultimate goal is to sire the perfect child from the perfect woman, but after decimating the population of his homeland without finding a soulmate he is forced to search around the world.
He funds his journey by offering his "services" in the many mafia-plagged small towns he finds on the way.

He arrives at Nox Hill a bit after sunrise and takes a deep look at the two women hanging on the towncenter. After some moments he talks to the players, who have already gathered around him:

Coffin Joe
: Good morning, gentlemen. I was informed that this town has problems not only with mafia, but with werewolves as well. How many fresh corpses were left by scum's last night evil activities?

All players look around, as if trying to find out who is missing, but without success.

Coffin Joe
: Very well, let me take a look at the player list then...
*takes a piece of paper from his pocket*

Coffin Joe
: Is Blight there?
Blight
: I'm here!
Coffin Joe
: Cephrir?
Cephrir
: here!
Coffin Joe
: ChocolateAttack?
ChocolateAttack
: alive and eating some chocolate!
Coffin Joe
: curiouskarmadog?
curiouskarmadog
: Curiosity killed the cat, not the dog.
Coffin Joe
: davidangelsummers?
davidangelsummers
: alive!
Coffin Joe
: dybeck?
dybeck
: yep!
Coffin Joe
: Flyinghawk?
Flyinghawk
: Still flying!
Coffin Joe
: Kanaga?
Kanaga
: yo!
Coffin Joe
: That's already half of the list? killerbob?
killerbob
: Not ready to be
killed
bob yet!
Coffin Joe
: Kison?
Kison
: YAY!
Coffin Joe
: Sonicpulsar?
Sonicpulsar
: Heart is
pulsing
!
Coffin Joe
: Tarhalindur?
Tarhalindur
: Woo Hoo!
Coffin Joe
: Almost finished. thinktank?
thinktank
: I think, therefore I'm alive!
Coffin Joe
: Twomz?
Twomz
: /here
Coffin Joe
: WhoMe??
WhoMe?
: more /here than Twomz!
Coffin Joe
: Last one: ZONEACE?
ZONEACE
: You saved the best for the last!

The acknoledgement of this visit's lack of profit paints a melancholic expression on Joe's face. He is not one inch closer to his goal.
He takes a last look on the town's hanging ladies, wondering if one of them could have been the person he was loking for. Now they are mere pieces on the town's collection of innocent executions...

Coffin Joe
: What's the life? It's the beginning of death! What's the death? It's the end of life! What's the existence? It's the cicle of blood! What's the blood? It's the meaning of existence!

He turns his back to the town and goes away to never come back again.

Nobody died on Night 2

With 9 votes Cephir is lynched.

Was he a townie as he claimed?

Or was he Mafia?

Could he have been a Wolf?

It's 3:30am for me now, so I won't be writting the lynch scene now, but feel free to start the night talk (those who are allowed by their roles, of course)

Day 4 starts 72 hours from the posting of the lynch scene, or after I have received all Night choices.

Well, I could reveal Cephir's role now.....Nah, you can wait. :twisted:

Day 3 - Farewell from the sun


Image

Once again the sun bids farewell to the players. It goes down slowly as if trying to take a last look at those who won't be there for another sunrise:

IH
: So, guys. We get to lynch someone now, right? Who is it going to be?
ZONEACE
: Another woman, maybe?
Blight
: Nah, we already killed them all...
curiouskarmadog
: How about Cephir? obviously scum.
Twomz
: I agree with that.
WhoMe?
: Won't you say anything to defend yourself, Cephir?
Cephrir
: But, but...
davidangelsummers
: See that? Cephir is so overdefensive he must be scum!
dybeck
: He is probably a wolf, look at his avatar!
Kison
: Well, at list he has an avatar...unlike
some
people.:P
Kanaga
: grrrrrrr
Peers
: Well, it's already decided, isn't it? Let's hang Cephir at once!

The sky is now dark orange, and the last few rays of sunlight are the only help ooba gets to prepare the knot.
Flyinghawk prepares to throw Cephir from the Chair as soon as he says his last words.

Tarhalindur
: Karen sure is smelling by now.
ooba
: Don't worry. Cephir won't feel it for a long time.
ChocolateAttack
: If were Cephir I would be more concerned about the buzzards than about the smell.
Cephrir
: Good bye, sun.
*he jumps from the chair he is standing on*
*noise of neck breaking*

Flyinghawk
: Damn!

Cephir, townie. was lynched on Day 3


Night 3 starts now.
Please refer to your role PMs for information about night actions.
Day 4 starts in 72 hours or after both factions are done with their Night conversations and all night actions received.

MOD NOTE:

The flavor in this post is just a humorous summary of the conversations during the game. No alignement and no portion of the setup is revealed there.

Night 3 - Game of the Seven Mistakes


*telephone rings*

Dybeck
: Hello.
Voice
: May I talk with Dybeck, please?
Dybeck
: It's him.
Voice
: Hi, Dybeck. I've been to your place earlier, but you were not around.
Dybeck
: Yes, I had something to do. What did you want?
Voice
: I was thinking about playing a game.
Dybeck
: Cool, I have a Playstation 2, but I don't really play that much because I don't have many friends into games and playing alone is not that fun.
Voice
: Well, I was not exactly thinking of videogames.
Dybeck
: What do you have in mind, then?
Voice
: It's a game called "game of the seven mistakes".
Dybeck
: That one where you find differences between two pictures?
Voice
: Not exactly.
Dybeck
: How is it, then?
Voice
: It's like this: I've set seven traps in your house. You have to find and destroy them. You will recognize a place or object with a trap if you see something altered. One mistake and it's game over for you.
*pause*

Dybeck
: What if I decide to go away and not play your little game?
Voice
: You get shot in the head by my sniper rifle.
Dybeck
: Ok, looks like I have no choice.
Voice
: Good luck, and try to survive until the last trap. I have money on you. ;)

Dybeck wanted to give him a tough sounding answer, but he was too concerned of his own safety to concentrate on that.
The game begins.

TRAP 1

Acording to the "rules" to identify a trap he must look for something altered in any object or place.
Is it true? If the mafia did really set traps to kill him why would they leave clues to help him find them?
His paranoid thoughts are interrupted the moment he sees a thin white line all across the sofa.
A closer inspection reveals the first trap: The sofa was opened whith a knife and large spikes were fixed inside. Had him taken a sit to watch tv he would have been impaled...from below.

TRAP 2

So, the voice on the phone was telling the truth...
Looks like they like very much to gamble, had them set the traps but not warned him he could be already dead.
He looks up while scratching his head and finds a second one: A little pile of white dust can be seen over the room's ceiling fan.
That powder is poison, had him turned on the fan a cloud of white powder would probably form in the room, killing him.

TRAP 3

It may be dangerous to touch some of those traps with his hands, he would better be using his baseball bat as a kind of stick.
He enters the bedroom looking for it and notices his pillow out place on his bed. He removes the pillow and almost loses his hand to the wolftrap that was under it. If he went to sleep on that pillow his head would have been crushed.

TRAP 4

Dybeck decides it's better to keep up with the bat idea and stop risking his limbs.
He goes through a corridor that has a door on the floor leading to the basement.
The door sems unleveled, it only takes a touch of the bat for the door to collapse over the caltrops spread on the basement floor.

TRAP 5

Taking a look at the bathroom he finds another one: droplets of a strange liquid cover the toilet sit. Obviously a poison that goes through the skin. Those guys sure like to deal with a variety of poisons.

TRAP 6

After cleaning the toilet he notices something wrong with the shelf close to the bathtub: the shelf's support was sawed, any vibration could make it collapse, throwing an energized hair dryer into the water.
He hit the shelf to make everything fall at once into the empty tub.

TRAP 7

One trap left.
Getting into the kitchen Dybeck sees something strange in the microwave oven. There is something inside it and it's not a meal. This trap finally looks like something done by professionals. Looks like there is a granade inside the microwave, ready to be detonated as soon as someone opens it. A wire connects the granade's pin to the microwave's door.
Dybeck opens it. Not fully open, but just enough to reach the wire without releasing the pin.
With a knife he cuts the wire, now the granade is safe.

Dybeck
: Well, looks like I have a bonus prize now. Time to celebrate with a beer.

Dybeck opens the refrigerator's door and is instantly killed by the explosion of the bomb hidden inside it, which destroy half of the house.
No, it was not an eighth trap. The toilet sit liquid was not a trap, it was lack of education.

Image

Dybeck, doc, was killed by the mafia

wikipedia wrote: In warfare, a booby trap is an antipersonnel device placed in building or in a noncombat area that has a psychological draw for enemy soldiers. The term comes from the implication such a trap will be set off by a foolish person (a booby). The first use of the term is from the 1850s, when it was used to describe practical jokes that are set off by their victim. In fact, the term is still used to describe a type of firework which explodes loudly when strings protruding from either end are pulled, which may be tied to a door handle.

Wikipedia wrote: The legends of ulfhednar mentioned in Vatnsdœla saga, Haraldskvæði, and the Völsunga saga may be a source of the werewolf legends. The ulfhednar were vicious fighters similar to the better known berserkers, who were dressed in bear hides and reputed to channel the spirits of these animals to enhance effectiveness in battle. These warriors were resistant to pain and killed viciously in battle, much like wild animals. Ulfhednar and berserkers are closely associated with the Norse god Odin.

And they do dispose themselves as very wolves, in worrying and killing, and most of humane creatures." Such were the views about lycanthropy current throughout the continent of Europe when Verstegan wrote.

It's too late at night for a lynch scene now, so it goes tomorrow.

Roles with night talk ability can start now, Day 5 starts 72 hours after the lynch scene has been posted, or after all night choices have been received.

Was Tarhalindur a wolf as he claimed? Or is the town up for a big surprise?

Stay tuned, the answer will be given in less than 24 hours! :twisted:

Day 4 - Cursed


After finding out that Cephir was innocent, players must decide wether curiouskarmadog was a just misguided good citizen that really thought Cephir was scum, or an evil wolf/mafioso trying to frame an innocent:

Kison
: So, Cephir was not scum. What should we do now?
Flyinghawk
: Let's fulfill Cephir's last wish. Let's lynch CKD!
curiouskarmadog
: Ok, I have no arguments left to defend myself. If the town cannot forgive a poor sorcerer for being wrong there is nothing left for me to do here.
*puts the rope around his own neck*

ooba
: Noooooo! Don't give up, CKD! I'm a sorcerer too, we work on alternate days!
cicero
: Well, if ooba confirms CKD's role it means they are both innocent... Unless they are both lying.
Twomz
: Yes, but we can't lynch claimed sorcerers. They could turn us into frogs, couldn't they?
Tarhalindur
: Let's lynch Peers intead. He tryed to kill CKD. I saw it with my superpowers.
davidangelsummers
: Wait, what kind of superpowers?
ZONEACE
: Powers like superman powers? Or like spiderman powers?
Peers
: Ok, I admit. I'm really from the mafia. But Tarhalindur is lying about his superpowers, he is surely a wolf.
WhoMe?
: Yes, because wolves can't kill mafia! He wants the townsfolk to do the dirty job for them!
Kanaga
: Let's lynch Tarhalindur instead!
Tarhalindur
: Bah, you saw through my evil plot...

Tarhalindur takes a leather collar from his pocket and wears it.
From the moment he puts on the accessory fur starts to grow all around his body,he practically doubles in size, and menacing claws show up ready to rip human limbs apart...again.

Tarhalindur
: Mwahahahaha! You have found me, but you can't defeat me! Now you will know my TRUE superpow...

THUMP


Image

To everyone's surprise (specially his own) Tarhalindur now falls to the ground, his head almost split in half.
Standing behind where he was is a girl, the blood covered object (a kind of cane, with a silvery ornament on the handle) on her hands explains what, althought not why, happened.

girl
:(speaking to a boy behind her) Was it him, Jimmy?
boy
: No. Looks like another mistake, sis.
girl
:
grrrrrrr

*turns to the players*

girl
: Sorry, guys. We were just trying to destroy the source of a curse. False alarm, as it seems. We won't bother you anymore.
*turns to the boy*

girl
:Let's go Jimmy!
boy
: Sure, Ellie.

They turn their backs to a dead body and 13 dumbfounded players and go away never to be seen again.

IH
: Lift a curse? I think they should stay around to read some of those votecount quotes. They could learn a thing or two.
ChocolateAttack
: Man... was that... Christina Ricci...?<3<3<3

Tarhalindur, werewolf. was lynched on Day 4


MOD NOTE:

The flavor in this post is just a humorous summary of the conversations during the game. No alignement and no portion of the setup is revealed there.

IMPORTANT
:
I said before that Day 5 would start 72 hours after the lynch scene, but since I was very, very late to upload it (sorry). I would like to start Day 5 as soon as possible.
It's not like the lynch scene revealed anything new, so you already had enough time to take decisions.
I will start Day 5 tonight or tomorrow night, depending on the delivery of the still pending night action(s).
Thanks in advance. ;)

Night 4 - Why is it so big?


Once upon a time there lived in Nox Hill a little mafia player, his name was Flyinghawk. He was loved by all and, despite his age, reputed as a decent mafia player. His only relative alive was his grandmother, who loved him very much. He used to wear a red riding hood made by his grandmother, because of that people used to call him “Little Red Flying Hawk”

One day Flyinghawk, after making posts in all of his mafia games, thought to himself:
Flyinghawk
: I really could use grandma’s money now, but she is almost 90 and doesn’t seem even close to dying.

Little Red Flying Hawk bought 30 dollars of candy, chocolate and junk food in general, and set out immediately to visit his diabetic grandmother, who lived in a shack in the middle of the woods on the outskirts of Nox Hill.
As he was going through the woods, he met a fellow player, who was actually a werewolf in disguise. The wolf wanted so much to nightkill him right there, but in the open like that he could draw unwanted attention. He could be seen by a rival mafioso, or even a town power role.

wolf
: Where are you going, kid?
*The poor Flyinghawk was innocent, and didn’t know it was dangerous to talk to players of unknown alignement in the middle of the night.*

Flyinghawk
: Me? I’m going to, er, visit my grandma.
wolf
: Does she live far?
Flyinghawk
: Not really, she lives on the other side of that hill.

The wolf discovered Flyinghawk would take the left path to contour the hill. He then said goodbye and ran as fast as he could on the path to the right. His intention was to outrun Flyinghawk and get there first.
When the wolf finally arrived at the shack he found nothing of the grandma, but a note on the door “gone to Rio de Janeiro, back on March”. He got a bit disappointed, since he was up for a snack, but the main course was about to arrive. He then shut the door, dressed in some of the old woman's clothes and got into the grandmother's bed, expecting Little Red Flying Hawk, who came some time afterwards and knocked at the door.

Image

wolf
: Who’s there?
Flyinghawk
: Little Red Flying Hawk! I brought some, er, sugar-free candies for you!
wolf
: Come in.
*Flyinghawk entered the house and was immediately taken by a feeling of nostalgia.*

Flyinghawk
: These are all for you, grandma. Want to eat them now?
wolf
: Give them to me, dear.
*raises his hand*

Flyinghawk
: Grandmother, what big arms you have!
wolf
: All the better to hug you, dear.
*hugs Flyinghawk*

Flyinghawk
: Grandmother, what big ears you have!
wolf
: All the better to hear your voice, my child..
Flyinghawk
: Grandmother, what big eyes you have!
wolf
: All the better to see your smile, my love..
Flyinghawk
: Grandmother, what big teeth you have got!
wolf
: All the better to .... you’ll see.

Flyinghawk was dismembered and eaten piece by piece.
He will no more need the money of his grandmother, who is by now getting a tan somewhere on Copacabana Beach.

Flyinghawk, townie, was killed by the wolves

wikipedia wrote:Although no written forms of the tale predate Perrault, the origins of the Little Red Riding Hood story can be traced to oral versions from various European countries and more than likely preceding the 17th century, of which several exist, some significantly different from the currently-known, Grimms-inspired version. It was told by French peasants in the 14th century as well as in Italy, where a number of versions exist, including La finta nonna (The False Grandmother). It is also possible that this early tale has roots in very similar Oriental tales (e.g. "Grandaunt Tiger").

These early variations of the tale differ from the currently known version in several ways. The antagonist is not always a wolf, but sometimes an ogre or a ‘bzou’ (werewolf), making these tales relevant to the werewolf-trials (similar to witch trials) of the time (e.g. the trial of Peter Stumpp)
. The wolf usually leaves the grandmother’s blood and meat for the girl to eat, who then unwittingly cannibalises her own grandmother. Furthermore, the wolf was also known to ask her to remove her clothing and toss it into the fire. Also, once the girl is in bed with the wolf she sees through his disguise and tries to escape, complaining to her ‘grandmother’ that she needs to defecate and would not wish to do so in the bed. The wolf reluctantly lets her go, tied to a piece of string so she does not get away. However, the girl slips the string over something else and gets away.

It has been noted that in these stories she escapes with no help from any male or older female figure, but instead utilises her own cunning.

Wikipedia wrote: The association between mafiusi and criminal gangs was made by the association the play's title made with the criminal gangs that were new to Sicilian and Italian society at the time. Consequently, the word "mafia" was generated from a fictional source loosely inspired by the real thing and was used by outsiders to describe it. The use of the term "mafia" was subsequently taken over in the Italian state's early reports on the phenomenon. The word "mafia" made its first official appearance in 1865 in a report by the prefect of Palermo, Filippo Antonio Gualterio.

FINAL VOTECOUNT

davidangelsummers
(7) - Peers , WhoMe? , cicero , Kison , Kanaga , davidangelsummers , ZONEACE

Peers
(1) - Twomz

Not voting
(4): ChocolateAttack , ooba , IH , curiouskarmadog

------

Day 5 - All it boils down to


Day 5 is about to end. Even before the sun is totally set the moon can already be seen, as if wanting to peek at the events going on in Nox Hill:

cicero
: So, Peers. There was no Mafia kill tonight. Who did the mafia target?
Peers
: The Mafia tryed to kill davidangelsummers.
WhoMe?
: Well, he is still alive. So he must be a wolf!
davidangelsummers
: That's ridiculous! Don't you see the Mafia is just trying to frame an innocent?
ZONEACE
: I believe Peers, davidangelsummers is surely a wolf.

Angered for being caught in such a way, davidangelsummers takes a leather bracelet from his pocket and wears it. The transformation scene of yesterday repeats itself.
Knowing what happens next, the players don't stay for the full transformation. They gather inside the first house they find.

IH
: The wolf is coming soon. We must block all possible entrances!
ChocolateAttack
: I will close all doors.
Twomz
: I take care of the windows.
Kison
: I will block the basement door.

Image

The players are fast to block all ways in, but what they don't know is that this is davidangelsummers' own house. And he knows it very well.

Kanaga
: What is this sound? It seems to come from the celing.
ooba
: He is on the roof. He will try to get in though the chimney.
curiouskarmadog
: But won't he fall right into that trough full of boiling wat..

davidangelsummers
: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

davidangelsummers had good knowledge of his place, but had a bad memory.
He forgot he had left water boiling to start cooking.

davidangelsummers, werewolf, was lynched on day 5

Night 5 - yesXkill


Image

He is a hitman in a mission
He is a beast in a hunt

He never misses his target
He never misses his prey

He calmly waits on a roof, far away from the road
He eagerly waits on a bush, inches away from the road

A person aproaches, unsuspecting of the danger

He locks the target. It only takes one clear shot.
He unsheathes his claws. It only takes one hit.

He carefully considers, even if for a moment, wether it would be better to find another wolf or to kill a power role.
He couldn't care less at this moment if he will kill an innocent or find a mafioso.

The victim reaches the spot

*shoot*
*slash*


WhoMe? never saw what was coming. Neither from a side nor from the other.
He was the thirteenth player to sign up for the game.
Maybe it was just a matter of luck?

WhoMe? , doc (previously nurse) , was killed by the mafia AND the wolves

mafiawiki wrote: The Nurse is a healing backup role which usually takes on the duties of a Doctor the night after the Doctor dies.

IH and ChocolateAttack were proded before Night 5
IH responded and is still in the game.
ChocolateAttack ignored it and was replaced by TheHermit.

With 10 players alive 6 votes are needed for a lynch.
It's now Day 6.
Game on,
Play with honor.

Wikipedia wrote: During the Fascist period in Italy, Cesare Mori, prefect of Palermo, used special powers granted to him to prosecute the Mafia, forcing many Mafiosi to flee abroad or risk being jailed. Many of the Mafiosi who escaped fled to the United States, among them Joseph Bonanno, nicknamed Joe Bananas, who came to dominate the U.S. branch of the Mafia. However, when Mori started to persecute the Mafiosi involved in the Fascist hierarchy, he was removed, and the Fascist authorities proclaimed that the Mafia had been defeated. Though the mafia was weakened, it had not been defeated as claimed.

Wikipedia wrote: More recently, the portrayal of werewolves has taken an even more sympathetic turn in some circles. With the rise of environmentalism and other back-to-nature ideals, the werewolf has come to be seen by some authors as a representation of humanity allied more closely with nature. Some recent fiction also discards the idea that the werewolf dominates the mind when one transforms, and instead postulates that the wolf form can be used at will, with the lycanthrope retaining its human thought processes and intelligence.

In some of the cases–e.g. those of the Gandillon family in the Jura, the tailor of Chalons and Roulet in Angers, all occurring in the year 1598—there was clear evidence against the accused of murder and cannibalism, but none of association with wolves; in other cases, such as that of Gilles Garnier in Dole in 1573, there was clear evidence against some wolf but none against the accused.

Wikipedia wrote: A recent theory has been proposed to explain werewolf episodes in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Ergot, which causes a form of foodborne illness, is a fungus that grows in place of rye grains in wet growing seasons after very cold winters. Ergot poisoning usually affects whole towns or poor sections of towns, resulting in hallucinations and convulsions. (The hallucinogen LSD was originally derived from ergot). Ergot poisoning has been propounded as both a cause of an individual believing that one is a werewolf and of a whole town believing that they had witnessed a werewolf. This theory, however, is controversial and not widely accepted.

Wikipedia wrote: Many authors have speculated that werewolf and vampire legends may have been used to explain serial killings in less enlightened ages. This theory is given credence by the tendency of some modern serial killers to indulge in practices commonly associated with werewolves, such as cannibalism, mutilation, and cyclic attacks. The idea (although not the terminology) is well explored in Sabine Baring-Gould's seminal work The Book of Werewolves.

Sometimes I spend hours in front of the computer.
Why do the lynches always happen when I'm not prepared? :P
Is ZONEACE really the last wolf?
Or is him a mafioso?
Could he be a mere townie?
It's past midnight here, so the lynch scene goes tomorrow.
If there is anyone able to night talk left the time is now.
Day 7 starts on Sunday.

cicero
: No.
ZONEACE
: What do you mean by no? Who else should we lynch?
Kison
: You.
ZONEACE
: Me? WTF do you want to lynch me?
ooba
: You are the last wolf, and this is wolf hunting season. :)
ZONEACE
: Are you all retards? I'm not a wolf. Peers claimed Mafia on Day 4. How come you are letting him survive for three Days and now want to lynch me. I'm innocent for God's sake. I've never seen a game this ridiculous in my four years of scumhunting!
Peers
: Wait, don't lynch him. He is not the last wolf.
curiouskarmadog
: And why are you defending him? Is he Mafia with you?
Hjallti
: I don't believe Peers. Let's lynch ZONEACE anyway.
ZONEACE
: Well, I'm not going down so easily, bastards!
*puts both hands inside his jacket*

Twomz
: Is it now that he turns into a wolf?
TheHermit
: Watch out for leather accessories. That's what Tar and DAS used to transforn at will.

Image

To everyone's surprise, ZONEACE does not take any leather object, instead he takes two guns that were hidden in his jacket.

ZONEACE
: MWAHAHAHHAAHAHA. Who is going to die first?
Malone
: You will.

All players turn their eyes to the old man's voice direction. There, four men armed to the teeth stand.

Eliot Ness
: ZONEACE, you are under arrest for income tax evasion and overuse of CAPITAL LETTERS. Surrender now, or face CAPITAL PUNISHMENT!
ZONEACE
: You will never take me alive! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
George Stone
: As you wish. :)

BAM
POW
BANG


Sikario8
: Wow! I'm going to sell this to rotten.com
*takes a picture of ZONEACE's dead body*


ZONEACE, mafioso, was lynched on day 6

I'd like to start Day 7 by Sunday, but due to holidays don't worry if I can't start it before Wednesday.
On the other hand if ALL choices come early I could even start it on Saturday.
Anyway just stay around, this game just gets more and more interesting. :P

There were three players living in Nox Hill that could not stand taking a shower. The people called them "The Three Little Pigs".

The first little pig built his house with straw. One night came along a wolf, and knocked at the door, and said:

Wolf
: Little pig, little pig, let me come in.
Pig #1
: No, no, no. I won't let you come in, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.
Wolf
: Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in.

So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew his house in, and ate up the little pig.

ooba, sorcerer, was killed by the wolves


The second little pig built his house with wood. On that same night came along that same wolf, and knocked at the door, and said:

Wolf
: Little pig, little pig, let me come in.
Pig #2
: No, no, no. I won't let you come in, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.
Wolf
: Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in.

So he huffed, and he puffed, and he blew his house in, but as the wolf's tummy was full the pig was faster and hid in the house of the third little pig.

The third little pig built his house with brick. Came along the wolf, and knocked at the door, and said:

Wolf
: Little pig, little pig, let me come in.
Pig #3
: No, no, no. I won't let you come in, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin.
Wolf
: Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in.

Well, he huffed, and he puffed, and he huffed and he puffed, and he puffed and huffed; but he could not get the house down. When he found that he could not, with all his huffing and puffing, blow the house down, he gave up and went home.

The second little pig shouted and jumped happily, and got shot in the chinny chin chin by the third little pig, who actually belongs to the mafia.

Kison, townie, was killed by the mafia

wikipedia wrote:Disney's version of the Big Bad Wolf.
First appearance Three Little Pigs (May 27, 1933)
Disney's House of Mouse
Mickey's House of Villains
Created by {{{created by}}}
Voiced by Billy Bletcher (classic shorts); Jim Cummings (House of Mouse)
Also known as Zeke Midas Wolf (real name).

The character's best known incarnation is the villain of Walt Disney's animation Three Little Pigs, directed by Burt Gillett and first released on May 27, 1933. The Wolf's voice was provided by Billy Bletcher. As in the folktale, he was a cunning and threatening menace. This version had a taste for disguising himself, but both the audience and the Pigs could easily see through the Wolf's disguises. The short also introduced the Wolf's theme song, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?", written by Frank Churchill.

The short was so popular that Walt Disney produced several sequels, which also featured the Wolf as the villain. The first of them was named after him: The Big Bad Wolf, also directed by Burt Gillett and first released on April 14, 1934. In the next of the sequels, Three Little Wolves (1936), he was accompanied by three just-as-carnivorous sons. (These three sons were later reduced to just one who, in contrast to his father, was full of goodness and charm and a friend of the three little pigs.) The final cartoon featuring the Three Little Pigs and the Wolf, The Practical Pig, was released in 1939. With each successive short, the Wolf exhibits a fondness for dressing in drag, and even "seduces" Fiddler and Fifer Pigs (who become more and more clueless as to his disguises with each installment) with such disguises as "Goldielocks the Fairy Queen", Little Bo Peep, and a mermaid.

He hasnt posted since the 19th and is a pretty new player to the website. with this few remaining players a full complement is important.

Actually by the time CKD requested I had already proded him.
I also had already noticed he has been inactiive since 12/19, but since this is the time of the year that many people travel and have limited access I was giving him a bit more time.
If Sikario do not respond in 24h I will look for a replacement.

FINAL VOTECOUNT

cicero
(1) - Peers

Not voting
(2): TheHermit , Jenter Brolincani

PS: The votecount is correct. When Peers voted TheHermit was already lynched.

------

Day 7 - You're the dog now, man


Hjallti
: Two wolves and a mafioso are gone, which scumbag should we lynch today?
Twomz
: I think we should lynch Peers.
Peers
: No! Let's get rid of those damn dogs!
Jenter Brolincani
: But who is the last wolf?
cicero
: TheHermit is. I know because I have a house in some other town and I saw one of his personalities drunk in a bar bragging about being scum here.
TheHermit
: Wait! This type of evidence can't be used in a fair trial.
curiouskarmadog
: Nah! I too have been suspecting you for quite some time. You are the lynch of the day for sure.

At that moment, as expected, TheHermit totally not surprisingly shapeshifts into his bestial self.

Image

Peers
: zZzZzZzZz
cicero
: A furry? KILL IT WITH FIRE!
Jenter Brolincani
: It's incredible how we eventually get used to ANYTHING.

Coming out of nowhere, a little blonde girl wearing a red hood approaches the players. She has a deep aura of innocence and is followed by a cute little dog. Butterflies fly beautifully around her.

Image

curiouskarmadog
: Can...this..be... Flyinghawk! Are you back?
BBHood
: Ewww, don't take me for that ripoff.
TheHermit
: Mwhahahaha! I ate Flyinghawk now I'm gonna eat you, little girl.
BBHood
: Not today. Now I'm the hunter...and you are the prey...

Image

The little girl pulls a machine gun from her basket.
TheHermit laughs deeply, confident on his nightkill immunity.
He is struck by an array of silver bullets, and fall dead into pieces.
She pulls a knife from her basket and cut TheHermit's tongue off.

Image

TheHermit, werewolf, was lynched on day 7


Twomz
: errr... why are you doing that?
BBHood
: This sells for a good price. ;)

She puts the piece of meat in her basket and starts walking away

Hjallti
: Wait little girl. Who are you? What do you want?
BBHood
: I'm a Dark Hunter. I'm just honing my skills for the real deal. Dead Rikimaru's DARKSTALKERS MAFIA, a mini theme game starting next month on mafiascum.net

It's now officially Night.
Sorry again for the lateness.
I'm going to send PMs to all players and won't start day 8 without everyoe confirmed.

About Chocolate Attack's behavior, the powers that be will be informed AFTER the game is over, for evaluation.
Please, just ignore this and go on with the game.
I apologize to TheHermit for the situation, since it cripled his chances of winning.

Night 7 - Hellbound


*telephone rings*

curiouskarmadog
: Hello.
Voice
: Good night. Is it curiouskarmadog?
curiouskarmadog
: Yep.
Voice
: Hi. I was going to visit you today, but you were not at home when I came over.
curiouskarmadog
: Well, I'm a sorcerer. I have to go out to protect people. What did you want?
Voice
: I was thinking about playing a game.
curiouskarmadog
: Let me guess. It's the same game that dybeck played and lost, right?
Voice
: Exactly! You sure are smart. I'll give you that.
curiouskarmadog
: I'm sorry. I don't intend to play with you.
Voice
: I've already set the traps in your house, and if you try to escape without finding them I will shoot you with my sniper rifle. You have no choice. mwhahahahaha!
curiouskarmadog
: There is always a choice.
Voice
: What?!?!

curiouskarmadog doesn't answer. He just shuts the phone on the mafioso's face and sits on his bed.
He carefully considers the step he is going to take:

Image

curiouskarmadog
: It's no use to be afraid. Destiny has put that box in my hands, and now I'm in a situation where it's my only chance of survival. My destiny is to open that box, no matter what will come of it.

curiouskarmadog opens a drawyer and takes a small, stylistically patterned box. It's a puzzle box, and solving the puzzle is rumored to open the gate for another dimension.
He spends the next few hours in the puzzle. He remembers what he was told: "It can never be easy to solve the box, it is something someone has to work at, and something someone has to want."

Just before assembling the last peace and completing the work, curiouskarmadog hears the sound of a bell like coming from inside his head. His whole body trembles in fear, but it's too late to come back now.
As the last peace is put in place a melody starts and hooked chains immediately fly out of the box tearing into his flesh.

Image

Pinhead
: Welcome... to hell.
curiouskarmadog
: nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Most people think they are afraid of death. But generally it's not death itself they actually fear but the pain associated with the dying moment.
curiouskarmadog tryed to escape this pain but what he found instead was REAL pain. Stronger, deeper, everlasting pain.

curiouskarmadog , sorcerer, was (for game purposes) killed by the mafia

wikipedia wrote:Lemarchand's box (or a Lemarchand box) is a fictional lock puzzle or puzzle box appearing in horror stories by Clive Barker, or in works based on his original stories. The best known of these boxes is the Lament Configuration, which features prominently throughout the Hellraiser movie series. A Lemarchand box is a mystical/mechanical device that acts as a door — or a key to a door — to another dimension or plane of existence. The solution of the puzzle creates a "Schism" or open pathway to another realm through which beings may travel in either direction. The inhabitants of these other realms may seem demonic to humans. An ongoing debate in the film series is whether the realm accessed by the Lament Configuration is intended to be the Judeo-Christian version of Hell, or simply a generic dimension of endless pain and suffering.

Day 8 - Somebody set up us the bomb


Another Day reaches its end. The players are trying to decide wether they should lynch the claimed mafioso Peers right away or have more discussion:

Twomz
: I say we discuss.
cicero
: No, let's lynch Peers.
Twomz
: It's better that we state where we stand now.
cicero
: I'm tired of so much talking. Peers is alive for too long. Lynch him!
Hjallti
: Ok. Jenter, the decision is yours.
Jenter Brolincani
: Lynch Peers! :twisted:
Peers
: hehehe
Hjallti
: What's so funny, Peers?
Peers
: You are on the way to destruction!

Peers was wearing a cape. He dramatically takes it off only to reveal the BOMB BELT he is using.

Peers
: You will never take me alive! Don't dare to get any closer or I will turn on the 10 seconds timer! mwhahahahaha

All players move a step away from Peers, afraid of what might happen

Jenter Brolincani
: Are you sure the timer is not turned on yet? I heard a little click...

Peers, mafioso, was lynched on day 8

Night 8 - Arthropods


Will you walk into my parlour?" said the Spider to the Fly,
Spider
: Come on! Come see my place!
Fly
: I'm sorry. I can't. I didn't even eat yet.
Spider
: Say no more! You will be my guest for dinner tonight!
Fly
: But mom doesn't like me to eat out. Also I have homework to do.
Spider
: Homework? You are talking to the right person. I've never got a grade lower than B in my whole life. Let's do the homework together?
Fly
: But I also have to clean my room...
Spider
: Oh, I just remembered I have to clean mine too. Let's make a deal? You help me with my room today and I help you with your tomorrow.
Fly
: But, but, but.
Spider
: Everything is a mess in my room. I have to organize all my action figures, comic books, video games...
Fly
: Videogames? Which system?
Spider
: All of them. Wii, Playstation 3 and XBox360. Do you like it?
Fly
: Hmmmm... Do you have Guitar Hero?

Image

Yes? About Nox Hill, you ask?
Looking from above there seems to be nothing wrong tonight.
But, wait! What is that I see in the town center?
Is someone having a heart attack?
Could it be poisoning?
No. Not at all. It's just a ninja rolling on the floor laughing his ass out at the players' faces.
wikipedia wrote:The Spider and the Fly is a poem by Mary Howitt (1799-1888), published in 1829. The first line of the poem is "'Will you walk into my parlor?' said the Spider to the Fly." When Lewis Carroll was readying Alice's Adventures Under Ground for publication he replaced a parody he had made of a minstrel song[1] with a parody of Howitt's poem. The "Lobster Quadrille", in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, is a parody of Howitt's poem (it mimics the meter and rhyme scheme, and parodies the first line, but not the subject matter, of the original). [2] An illustrated version by Tony DiTerlizzi was a 2003 Caldecott Honor Book.[3]

Another parody is from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 cartoon series, in the episode "Enter the Fly", where Shredder says "Step into my parlor, said the Knucklehead to the fly".

In 2007, this poem was also the basis of a musical by Benjamin Stahl. The musical contained various sections of the actual poem in the lyrics and expanded upon the story a great deal.

mod: could you answer the following question (without giving information on whether the question is needed): If some townie is unnightkillable and left over in a endgame 1:1, will you declare the game as a tie or a townloss?
The answer is:
Players should not try to find how to draw, they should try to find how to win. (poetic, no?);)

With four players alive it takes 3 to lynch.
The deadline would be in 12 days (Feb 19)
14 days should be enough to choose a person to vote among three people (unless you suspect yourself). I'd be pleased if you could end the day in time so I can have a little rest before the signups for Darkstalkers Mafia start (Feb 25):P

Game on
Play with honor.

By the time I opened the game I sent PMs to all players informing them the game was on.
cicero and Twomz opened theirs on the same day.
Hjalti opened his earlier today.
JB didn't open his yet, but his last post on the site was two days ago.

First you click the button to the right of Post Reply (Printer Friendly Button).
Then you click a button that look like this 0_o (All in one page)

But you could just select Save As and save the htm to your computer.
Please don't actually print. I would prefer not to write a death scene for a tree. :(

I would like to request that you do not provoke a no lynch today.
If the town won't lynch and scum won't kill the game will last forever.

Please make the the best use of the time you have and choose someone to lynch.

Wikipedia wrote: A notable exception to the association of Lycanthropy and the Devil, comes from a rare and lesser known account of a man named Thiess. In 1692, in Jurgenburg, Livonia, Thiess testified under oath that he and other Werewolves were the Hounds of God. He claimed they were warriors who went down into hell to do battle with witches and demons. Their efforts ensured that the Devil and his minions did not carry off the abundance of the earth down to hell. Thiess was steadfast in his assertions, claiming that Werewolves in Germany and Russia also did battle with the devil's minions in their own versions of hell, and insisted that when werewolves died, their souls were welcomed into heaven as reward for their service. Thiess was ultimately sentenced to ten lashes for Idolacy and superstitious belief.
SECOND VOTECOUNT


Jenter Brolincani (1) - Twomz

ATTENTION

My basic math skills are lacking. Deadline with 4 players is 12 days, not 14.:P
I asked the town to avoid a no-lynch but I'm not banning it (yet). But if town and scum decide to go for a "Happily Ever After" I may be forced to take action.

I sent a prod to Jenter yesterday, but he didn't open it yet.
I'm sure at any moment he will come back and participate. Also because he is modding a mini.
In case he doesn't show up in time and nobody change their minds deadline rules apply normally.

FINAL VOTECOUNT

Twomz
(3) - cicero , Hjallti , Jenter Brolincani

Jenter Brolincani
(1) - Twomz

------

Endgame - Silver Arrow


The game is almost over. A ninja is taking a walk around the town when he meets three of the remaining players in a heated conversation.
They seem to ignore the three rotting corpses that hang from the gallows for a week or more:

Dead Rikimaru
: Hi, guys. Who are you lynching today?
Hjallti
: Well, cicero and I agree that Twomz must be the last mafioso. Now we are just waiting for Jenter to come back and give his opinion.
cicero
: Hey, Dead. Give us a clue: If we lynch a townie is it a Mafia win or a tie? Come on, a loss is unfair to town. Take it into consideration! ;)
Dead Rikimaru
: cicero. Seriously.
A TIE, IN THIS GAME, WAS NEVER A POSSIBILITY. NEVER

*cicero faints*

Twomz
: Where is Jenter? I'm booooooored.

Suddenly Jenter shows up with bow and arrow in hands.

Jenter Brolincani
: I'm sorry for being late, guys. I was busy trying to find my lost silver arrowpoint to hunt werewolves. Now I found it! Let's kill some wolves!
*makes winner expression*

Twomz
: Jenter... the wolves are all dead.:roll:
Jenter Brolincani
: Shut up, scum! Game over for you! Prepare to die!
*Jenter shoots*


Image

Twomz
: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Jenter Brolincani
: Mwhahahahahahahahahahahahah!
*cicero wakes*

Twomz
: If only... I were... a vig...
*Twomz dies*

*cicero faints again*


Image

Hjallti
: Is it over? We won?
Dead Rikimaru
: Well, I'm sorry to make you wait a little bit more for the answer. The game is over, but before I declare the winner I would like to give some brief explanations. Please, bear with me a little more.

Hjallti and Jenter both silently nod at the ninja's request, but when their eyes meet an atmosphere of suspicion starts to form. Could they trust each other? The answer is coming soon...

Twomz , ????? , was lynched on day 9


MOD NOTE:

The flavor in this post is just a humorous summary of the conversations during the game. No alignement and no portion of the setup is revealed there.

Game Mechanics


Why noXkill?

Because in large games that last four or more days the cross kills between scum factions many times play a major role on the outcome, and sometimes Town simply wins thanks to them.
The idea was to make a game where Town had to lynch every single villain in order to win.

But what if not all of them get lynched?

This possibility was the biggest challenge for the setup.
I knew that without nightkills the optimal stategy for scum would be to kill off Townies in order to finish the game as fast as possible and have at least one member alive at endgame. This made a tie between Mafia and Wolves the most likely end.

How to avoid the tie?

Notice that the picture in the first post of this game has a "vs" between the Mafia and the Wolves. This game takes "the acient war" seriously.
In order to win, a scum group needed to have a greater number of members alive by endgame.
E.g: If by endgame the are two wolves and a mafioso alive, the wolves automatically win.

And if by endgame there is an equal number of mafiosi and wolves?

Town wins.
Here is the Mafia's win condition:
You win automatically when 50%+1 of the town are mafia, or when 50% of the town are mafia but it’s impossible to stop them from winning.
If by the end of the game there is the same number of Mafia and Wolves the game ends in “Massacre” and town wins. You don’t want that to happen.
This was to make sure Mafia and Wolves would not simply try to survive to endgame. They needed to actively hunt scum (from the opposing faction) in order to win.

And how can Town win?

Lynching scum, obviously.
Although Town "seems" to be in disadvantage at first glance there is a big catch: In this game, SCUM NEEDS TO LYNCH SCUM TO WIN.
Here is how I wanted this to work:
After finding a member of the opposite group (through failed nk) a scum player needed to convince Town to lynch him/her. Town was supposed to catch scum trying to lynch scum this way.
Ingame this happened for the first time during Day 4. That's when the game "really started" and after it scum players started to fall like domino bricks.

Why no cops?

Because evil players had to overexpose themselves in order to get their rivals lynched. If there were cops it would be too easy to find scum after a Night with a missing kill.
I wanted to game to reward skills, not role powers.
In this game nightkills were the real investigations, and several times scum killed townies (Kison, Flyinghawk, WhoMe?) to check if they were scum.

Why so many protective roles?

A game with 20 players and two killing groups could last as little as 5 Days, and town had to lynch 6 scum to win.
The protective/immune roles were there to, along with failed crosskills, raise the chances of missing nks and increase the lenght of the game.
The missing nightkills would also confuse scum, since they would never be 100% that the kill was missed because they hit a rival.
I expected the game to last 6-8 days. It lasted 9.

Were sorcerers underpowered?

I didn't want anti-mafia and anti-wolves to be totally alike, so I decided to make a doc + nurse to one side, and even sorcerer + odd sorcerer to the other.
I'm aware this way there would always be anti-mafia protection as long as one of the roles were alive, and a sorcerer missing would take away half of the anti-wolf protection; but the sorcerers had two advantages:
1- They could protect each other, while there was nothing the Nurse could do to save the Doc.
2- Even Sorcerer and Odd Sorcerer were much more likely to confirm each other, as long as they lived enough
The sorcerers ended up making use of both advantages. On Night 2 killerbob protected curiouskarmadog from the wolves, and on Day 4 ooba confirmed curiouskarmadog's claim.

Possible ending scenarios


Town lynches six scum

Town wins. Perfect play.

Endgame with six scum alive

MASSACRE! Town wins. lol
As I said before scum's winning condition was to prevail over the opposing faction. If they both fail, they both lose.
Of course Town could NEVER know this, otherwise it would affect their play. That's why I kept winning conditions as a secret until the last moment.
I had a cool idea for the MASSACRE flavor. Mafia and Wolves would still not be able to hurt one another, but all dead townies would turn into ZOMBIES and eat them alive. Until Day 4 it was a possibility.:twisted:

Endgame with less than six scum alive

Do the math:
Mafia > Wolves = Mafia wins
Mafia < Wolves = Wolves win
Mafia = Wolves = MASSACRE!

Endgame with a mafioso+bulletproof or wolf+wolfsbane

Scum wins.
Scum player managed to fulfill his/her winning condition.
Town player failed to fulfill his/hers.
Town winning condition:
You win if by endgame there are no scum members alive, even if you are already dead.

Game flow


It's always good for a mod when the game is equilibrated until the end.
This table gives an idea how things went for each side throughout the six months of the game.
Notice that Mafia decided to waste the kill from N8. Had them used it the end would have been 1 townie/1 p.role/1 mafioso

Memorable moments


Some things were seen in this game that are not usually seen, or even that were never seen before.
Here are some things that will not be forgotten neither by me nor by the people involved:

Night 2
Tarhalindur, the wolf wrote:Wolves nuke Curiouskarmadog.
killerbob, the sorcerer wrote:I choose you, curiouskarmadog
ZONEACE, the mafioso wrote:WE, THE MAFIA CHOOSE TO KILL CURIOUSKARMADOG.
dybeck, the doc wrote:I'll be protecting curiouskarmadog please.
I have never seen someone attract so many night actions at the same time in a game.
This event was very important because both Mafia and Wolves tryed to get CKD lynched later, thinking he was scum.
When ooba (replacing killerbob) confirmed his claim this led the Town to find both Tarhalindur and Peers to be scum, which radically changed the course the game was taking.

Day 4

Day 4 was bound be another day of lynched townies. CKD's kamikaze behavior alomost made that true... until ooba saved him from the gallows by confirming his claim. This moment was when the game actually begun.
It's rare for scum to claim scum (although I've seen it before) but:
Peers, the mafioso wrote:I'll take the fall for this.

Claim: Mafia
and
Tarhalindur, the wolf wrote:Gee, what a surprise, I'm a wolf
on the same day was, as far as I know, a first time ever event.
It was the first time I rotflmao in this game.;)

Day 8

As I said before a mafioso claiming Mafia is something rare, also it's usually rewarded with a fast lynch.
But a player claim mafia on Day 4 and survive until Day 8 is something I have really never seen, and doubt that ever happened.
Congratulations to Peers for living for such a long time, and for getting rid of the wolves in the meantime. :wink:

Titles


Since some uncommon and unique events happened in this game, I think maybe some users deserve to have a custom title based on them so those events will always be remembered.

I could not come up with any cool sounding title for them but if any of you have a nice idea I'm willing to support it

Here is a list of title-worthy players and situations:

curiouskarmadog
- for being the target of two night kills and two doc protections on Night 2.

Tarhalindur
- for his fake claim on Day 4 and/or for claiming wolf when Peers claimed Mafia.

Peers
- For surviving 4 game Days after cliaming Mafia.

If you think any other player deserves a title for something related to this game just say in thread. ;)

You may communicate freely during the NIGHT phase of the game. For this communication you will use this forum: http://www.quicktopic.com/40/H/dBeX9ceGjHW
Use it to inform me of your night choices too. Don’t worry, no one else will have access to that forum. Since the game starts by Day you will have ONE day (September 5) to introduce yourselves and discuss strategy. After that day is over you will only be able to talk again when the game goes to night.
Every night you may choose a player to be nightkilled (removed from the game).
If you choose a member of the Mafia to be killed, this kill will fail.
There MAY be some townie power roles able to protect other players from your kills.
There MAY be some townie power roles immune to your kills.
You win automatically when 50%+1 of the town are wolves, or when 50% of the town are wolves but it’s impossible to stop them from winning.
If by the end of the game there is the same number of Mafia and Wolves the game ends in “Massacre” and town wins. You don’t want that to happen.

You are a famiglia of mafiosi.

What's next?

Image
Jedah is the youngest out of the three High Nobles of Makai – the demon world, one that was always distressed about the future of his world. He believed that if it was left under the rule of Belial, the master of the Aensland family, it would grow old and begin to decay.
Jedah considered Belial to be an abomination, and actively sought out the opportunity to kill him, but was betrayed by his friend Ozumu, the gourmet eater of souls, and sent to a trap at the gates of Makai where he was consumed by the power of the gates.
One hundred years later Jedah is revived by the same power that once destroyed his body, and looks in disgust at the horrible world around him. He then decides the only way to salvation is to unite all souls - including his own - into one being: the Shintai, only then would world violence and conflict be ceased.
Using the soul of his betrayer as a cornerstone for a new dimension: Majigen, Jedah summoned the most powerful beings of Makai and outside in order to feed Shintai and make it strong enough to take over all realms of existence.
This is not a battle for your lives, this is a not a battle for your souls, this is a battle for existence as we know it. This is
Darkstalkers Mafia

And that's all folks.
Thank you very much to everyone who played the game.
Feel free to comment, complain, suggest, question, whatever. :wink:

Kison wrote:what does "lynch will be decided by duel" mean?
It's a way of deciding who gets lynched if two players have the same number of votes by deadline.
It's luck based (scissors/rock/paper).
I came up with the idea for Seven Samurai Mafia, where villagers would be in disadvantage and Kyuzo (the strongest samurai) would be in advantage.
This feature is yet to be used to decide a day.
Cephrir wrote:All the people taking my side were scum :(
And dybeck and CKD were doc and sorcerer.
Man, this kind of confusion is part of the game. One game we are right, other game we are wrong)
Just for holding until the end when everyone was against you (unlike Green Day, for example) you deserve congratulations.
cicero wrote:as far as I'm concerned Town Champion was Curiouskarmadog.
CKD was the player of the game.
After getting so close to get lynched he came back and made important cases against ZONEACE, TheHermit and Twomz.
Also, being the center of the curious Night 2 events he indirectly caused Peers and Tarhalindur to claim on Day 4.
cicero wrote:I agree completely with your reasoning as to why a wrong kill woulda been a mafia win, not the everybody loses/tie that I figured it should be. Apologies for being pest-y about it. Your reasoning on the last page just makes sense.
Don't worry.
I'm also known (or I'm not know, but I do it anyway) for PMing the mods of the games I play in. I ask for clarifications, inform them of missing players and even ask for deadlines when the games are dying (hence why I prefer fix deadlines, some mods simply don't see when one is needed)
I just used this on the flavor because I needed some comedy lines and it worked. :P
Tarhalindur wrote:I knew that our group was toast when mafia outed DAS .
And the ironic thing is: Mafia didn't target DAS because they were looking for wolves, they did it bacause they thought he was a power role. :P
curiouskarmadog wrote: this would have been a great game for me if I hadnt self voted.
I also think you shouldn't have insisted you were the obvious nightkill of the day after ooba died.
I agree that you were the best kill but if you check the Mafia's conversation it wasn't so obvious to them. Never take for granted that all players are paying as much attention to the game as you. :P
Twomz wrote:Oh, and I nominate myself for living to the last day without getting replaced ;).
Thank you very much for that Twomz, but if you let something slip in other thread and
in front of cicero
you seriously threw six months of your own hard work away... :roll:
TheHermit wrote:I am royally pissed at Chocolate Attack.
mith has already been informed of the situation.
It's his decision now.
CA opened and ignored my prods, and continued playing in other games.
He left the game because to win he would need the game to last at least for three more days and have a mafioso lynched at each of them.
He knew he couldn't do it and flaked, wouldn't be so bad (he wasn't participating anway) if he didn't open his big mouth.
Thank you very much for replacing in such a tough situation, TheHermit. And sorry for the CA incident.
Hjallti wrote:I don't know why you PM'd me a second time to replace in, but I am very happy you did.
Thank you and everyone else that replaced (and stayed) in the game.
Replacements in this site are hard to find. We do our best to keep the game alive and running. ;)
WhoMe? wrote:It moved along at a reasonable pace too.
It took loooooooong.
With the no cross kill it lasted about as long as a 30 player game.
Good experience, since I will eventually run one of those.
ZONEACE wrote:yeah ive been waiting ot nominate this game for flavor for like 3 months
I guess it was you that ate all my "waiting for Thorn" and "waiting for Cephir" popcorn while you were waiting. :P
ooba wrote:The flavor was the reason i replaced in since it made 30 pages of actual game play look like a story.)
The flavor is the reason I mod. :P
I'm not inspired all the time, but some scenes like Peers lynch and dybeck's kill are a joy to write.
Jenter Brolincani wrote:Wahey! We won!

and stuff.

Bye!
Bye. :lol:
cicero wrote:IMHO this would be better done by articulating that a town massacre was really an "everybody loses" scenario.
Massacre was a town victory because they depended a bit on failed kills to have enough days to lynch scum. So even if scum did not "cooperate" town would have a chance.
Of course it was unlikely to happen due to protectors and immunes, but you have to be prepared to worst case scenarios.
curiouskarmadog wrote:did anyone else feel dirty reading the scums' thread? I feel like maybe I shouldnt have read that.
Actually it's very cool. I remember reading the assassin's conversation on kingmaker 1, posted by petroliumjelly.
Peers wrote:That, was one hell of a game, and I'm glad I got a chance to play in it with everyone. Here's to seein' y'all again soon.
Thanks again Peers. Your "bridge" between town and mafia was the funniest thing in the game. :wink:
Sonicpulsar wrote:As someone who took a break from the game (due to being very busy), I must say Peers was a most excellent replacement for me. He did a very unique and interesting job.
It would be very interesting to see how would you have dealt with the same situation. Although maybe the wolves wouldn't have chosen you as a target that night. I don't know.
