Mini 811: Foggy Londontown Mafia - Over!

[DraketheFake]

'Ello, one'n'all, an' welcome to Foggy Londontown, 'ome of the bloody greatest folks you're likely to ever meet combined with some of the worst attempted cockney accents.

It was all "Cheeri-o" and "Top o' the marnin' to ya" until recently, when some folks started coming back from the market with 'orror stories about werewolves and evil men and Irish sayings mixed in with the English. You were content to all become shut-ins until little Timmy Englishlastname turned up dead in the town square, and now it looks like just sleepin' in yer homes won't be enough to save you from the ills that have befallen your idyllic - if foggy - little town.

Your mission, should ya choose to accept it: Root out all the evil plaguing your town before there's no one left to remember why on earth you didn't just stop at "London."

Rules

Do I really need to credit who I stole them from? It was OrangePenguin.

1. If there's grass on the field, play ball. That means participate and have fun. Not condoning jailbait here.
2. Please bold your votes. Example -

Vote: DraketheFake

. Votes that are not in bold will not be counted.
3. If you decide to change your vote, bold an unvote to indicate that you're removing it. Example -

Unvote, Vote: DraketheSnake

. If you do not unvote, your new vote will not count.
4. Lynching will require a majority of the votes. Once a lynch is decided, the decision is final. Feel free to continue posting until the thread is locked, but unvoting before I check the thread will not prevent the player from being lynched.
5. Use colors sparingly if it all. If you're a jerk about this I'll find somebody who won't be.
6. If you are lynched or killed, you are dead. A single "Bah" or "Humbug" post is fine. NO other content allowed.
7. Any questions, concerns, prod/replacement requests, or whatever, you can either PM me or post it in the thread. If you're going to do the latter, please bold it in the following format:

Mod: Knock it off with the awful attempted accents.

8. Never quote anything that I PM to you, unless express permission is granted. This will result in a modkill.
9. Treat this game as a commitment and be considerate of me and your fellow players.
10. No small or invisible text, editing your posts, codes, etc.
11. Do not discuss this game outside the thread at any time, except if and when your role specifically allows you to do so.
12. If you don't post for several (2 or maybe 3) days without notifying me that you will be V/LA, you will be prodded. Not posting within 48 hours of the prod or a total of 3 prods may result in your replacement.
13. This game enforces a strict deadline of 3 weeks per day phase - 4 weeks maximum if extension, and 72 hours (3 days) per night phase. You have been warned.
14. If a majority is not reached by deadline, the person with the highest number of votes as long as it is more than one will be lynched. In the case of a tie, the first person to reach that number of votes will be lynched. The person who would be lynched if deadline were to reach with no changes will be indicated in votecounts.
15. The Mod is not God. He may make mistakes. Please point out any mistakes and they will be corrected where possible. Sometimes mistakes are made that cannot be reversed, and these will stand as final, to be commiserated over after the game.
16. This ruleset may be incomplete. If you spot an obvious loophole, don't be a jerk - PM me and point it out. If the Mod discovers an oversight, or feels a player is doing something that, while technically within the rules, is against the spirit of the game, the Mod may add to these rules and inform/warn the players affected as appropriate.

At least one player in the game will receive/received the following Role PM:

Welcome to Foggy Londontown Mafia, ___________. You are a plain old tea-drinking, biscuit-munching townsperson, or

Vanilla Townie

. During the day you're free – and encouraged – to point fingers like the rest of them, but at night your only duty is to hope you make it through the night. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated, or nothing can prevent the same.

[DraketheFake]

Sending out Role PMs. When they've all been sent, I'll unlock and you'll be free (and required) to confirm in the thread. Once we have 11 confirmations I'll go ahead and open to the floor to serious Day 1 posting.

Edit: PMs sent. Confirm it on up!

[DraketheFake]

Alright, that's 11.

Day 1 commences. With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch. I'll keep tabs on Raivann.

[DraketheFake]

Raivann never picked up her role PM and is going to be replaced. I'll edit a votecount into this bad boy when I'm back from work.

[DraketheFake]

Everybody please welcome to the game

Deadline: Saturday, July 11th 8:10 AM EST

I see that Tenchi and Lowell have posted here, and Lowell your weekend V/LA is noted. Neferenom has not responded here or to me and if that is still true at the end of the day I'll begin the process of replacing him.

Also: Do people have a preference between the posts like this and the edited-in vote counts at the top of the page? I've been doing a combination, obviously, but I'm open to switching to one style or the other on a permanent basis. Should I still be editing in votecounts on pages where I have a posted one like this?

[DraketheFake]

Neferenom has not picked up his prod and will be replaced. I'll be slightly V/LA for the next week while I have my laptop serviced, but you may not even notice I'm gone depending on how often my school's library is open during the summer.

[DraketheFake]

Slight V/LA until the end of tomorrow, when I'll have a new votecount up and look at activity. I have a replacement lined up for Nefer, but he'll be V/LA until a few days from now so I'll announce it then.

[DraketheFake]

Gonna give the players who haven't posted since last Thursday (the 2nd of July) the benefit of the doubt for the holiday weekend and give them until Tuesday to post before I prod.

Effective immediately SerialClergyman replaces Neferenom. He will be able to post on the 6th or 7th, which isn't ideal, so if he requests a deadline extension I will likely grant one, depending on when he gets back.

ThAdmiral:

After a stately and rather cordial discussion, followed by a more parliamentary flinging of crap and curses, the final ballots are collected. The town crier, clearing his throat, makes his proclamation:

"Would Lowell please present himself to the center of the town square so that we may lynch him with due speed?"

Lowell, cowering just out of eye's view for most of the day, rises to his feet. "But I'm the Hider," he says. Which seems to explain it. It's too bad your polite sensibilities prevent you from going back on a decision reached so amicably and with such democracy.

Lowell,

Townie Hider

, has been lynched.

Get all night actions to me no later than 11:59 PM EST on Tuesday, July 22nd.

[DraketheFake]

I have received all night actions. Day 2 will commence sometime this evening. It is still night.

[DraketheFake]

The sun rises. Hours later, the fog lifts. The relatively fewer of you milling about realize quickly that some mischief is afoot. The town crier clears his throat:

"Ahem, do pardon, but I believe that

ThAdmiral

is not among us. Shall we check his quarters?"

Even a cursory sweep of ThAdmiral's residence would reveal to anybody that the man was a

Doctor

, what with all the vials and medical trinkets. It takes a more focused sweep to find his body, prone under one of his work tables. One might have been inclined to believe he'd simply gotten to much into the brandy last night were it not for the multiple knife wounds.

"I'm afraid that ThAdmiral, our town's doctor, is no longer with us," the town crier says mournfully.

"I don't mean to interrupt," says

Mokina

, somewhat anxiously. "But has anybody seen

Hero764

?"

"Oh my," says the town crier.

Indeed, the scene at Hero's is worthy of that sentiment: blood, entrails, and tatters of clothing lie everywhere, around the all-but-picked-clean bones of his hapless corpse. Mokina's eyes fill, brim, and spill over. She takes a few deep breaths.

"He was my

Lover

," she says quietly. "Without him, I will not go on." With great speed, she produces a small vial and quaffs it before anybody can think to even attempt and restrain her. She crumples to the ground, where the town crier leans over and announces that she is not breathing. Fortunately, unlike in Romeo and Juliet, there appears to be little chance that her lover will re-awaken from his sleep.

Somberly, the town reconvenes, hellbent on justice.

ThAdmiral,

Townie Doctor

, stabbed Night 1.
Hero764,

Townie Lover

, torn to shreds Night 1.
Mokina,

Townie Lover

, killed herself in grief dawn of Day 2.

Though the events of the previous day and night left a taste more foul than a weak cup of non-English tea in your collective rotten-toothed mouths, the only thing to do seemed to be to press on in search of those baddies making everything perfectly uncivilized.

"I say," came a voice. "That qwints fellow sure does seem to have a taste for this sort of thing. He's been calling for everybody's blood since we started this thing."

"But kind sir, of course I have a taste for this sort of thing," retorted qwints in a most dignified manner. "In my spare time I rather enjoy hunting werewolves for sport. A pity about our old doctor last night, I was sure he'd have been a wolf."

"Now now, Mr. qwints," the crier said. "Lying does not become a citizen of our lovely township."

"Well all right," qwints replied. "I'm a bit of a madman - a serial killer, if you will - but if I may say so most respectfully your most pressing threat lies not from me but from those creatures."

The town disagreed: most respectfully, of course.

qwints,

Serial Killer

, has been lynched.

All night actions due to me no later than 12:00 PM (noon) EST on Sunday, August 9th.

[DraketheFake]

All night actions have been received. Day 3 will start as soon as the flavor is written.

[DraketheFake]

The day begins with a round of scones and a lingering sense of discomfort. As people begin to filter out of their pleasant cottages and rustic townhomes, the town crier flits about anxiously, counting to himself.

"We're missing one," he declares, and the searching of houses begins.

It doesn't take long before you stumble into

Nikanor's

residence, and it doesn't take long after that to realize that Nikanor doesn't live there anymore. Streaks of his blood, his teeth, and tatters of his fine English clothes might, but definitely not what made Nikanor Nikanor.

Somberly, you re-gather in the town square, looking leerily about you.

Nikanor,

Townie

, torn to shreds Night 2.

RE: dank

: I agree with the prevailing opinion that replacing dank with somebody who would have to catch up would be less useful than just extending the deadline once he returns. However, Nikanor sent me a PM and presents a third option: replacing him back in in dank's spot. On principle, I'd generally rather avoid that situation, but he's read the whole game and would be available to contribute to the discussion right now. I'll leave it up to a group consensus here, unless somebody feels really really strongly against it.

The current deadline is what the deadline would be if dank were not V/LA or going to be replaced. If we decide to keep him I'll adjust it appropriately, but it won't be later than September 8th.

[DraketheFake]

Hello all. Posting from my buddy's office. His wireless has been down all weekend. Will return in full capacity on Monday.

DTMaster: Please refrain from posting the PMs from other ongoing games. I'll elaborate on the ruling tomorrow if you'd like.

[DraketheFake]

Hello there everyone.

We are two days and counting to when dank will return. At that point, I will institute an official deadline and distribute prods as necessary. Sorry this game has stalled a bit, but the consensus seemed to be that we would wait for dank, so I think this is what had to end to happening.

Thanks for the patience.

[DraketheFake]

I will get a prod out to dank sometime by the end of Friday. I'll check other activity then, too. My access has been terrible lately, and will continue to not be great until this coming Tuesday. Sorry again folks for the inconvenience.

2 (dank, Gwynplaine)

After a brief day spent sipping tea and trading snappy British-isms, it becomes clear that one player in particular is still having trouble getting up out of his bed.

"I say," says SerialClergyman. "Perhaps he's losing sleep because he's a werewolf, busily eating the members of this town at night instead of partaking in his required beauty rest."

This sentiment is met by general shrugging and nodding, and the remaining town members surround dank's door, decorum first and foremost on their minds.

It is now Night 3. Night actions are due to me by noon on Monday, September 1st.

[DraketheFake]

The town crier knocks at your doors before anyone is even able to fall asleep.

"Hark," says he. "Foul murder hath already been committed."

You follow him to the room of

DTMaster

, whose body has been butchered most expertly. His bones lie in a neat pyramid near the door, and his flesh lies in heaping piles on plates on his kitchen table, the whole scene lit most serenely by candlelight.

"I fear the -" begins the town crier, but a knife between the ribs cuts him short.

"We'll be able to save him for later," says

SerialClergyman

, removing his hood to reveal a face quickly transforming into a muzzle.

"Bu-bu-but you were so sure that it was dank," says

kikuchiyo

. "How couldst thou, my honored friend?"

"Gentlemen, if you'll excuse me," cuts in

iamausername

, "but I fear I must be going."

"I think not, dear friend," says

My set-up document is on another computer, so the role PMs will have to wait. The night actions were as follows:

Night 1

ThAdmiral protects Mokina
qwints kills ThAdmiral
SerialClergyman kills Hero764

Night 2

Gwynplaine kills Nikanor

Night 3

SerialClergyman kills DTMaster

I'll post my thoughts in a bit and/or tomorrow, depending on my state of packed-ness.

[DraketheFake]

The first and foremost thing I can think of is RE: qwints claiming SK:

Your role had full NK protection. Did you really think it was only one-shot (i.e. was my role PM too confusing?), or was that a ruse to make yourself less threatening?
