/in-Vitational Game 4 (Game Over!)

[SerialClergyman]

Oh, I thought you confirmed you had either 0 or 2 shots left.

If that's not the case and you haven't confirmed anything, why do you favour rofl?

[Kmd4390]

Two reasons:
1) More likely to be scum than Yos
2) Confirms 1 scum and 2 town in the worst case scenario where we're wrong. Being wrong on Yos leaves us right back where we started and we'd probably lynch Rofl anyway.

[ekiM]

This "Yos is the godfather so we should lynch him first" stuff makes no sense (why would you care if you lynch the godfather first or not if you think there's no pro-town cop left alive?), and is apparently based on nothing in any case.

Because if there's a traitor he commits suicide when the Godfather dies.

I don't know what the hell happened yesterday. I keep going back and fourth between thinking Tajo was incredibly ballsy scum who tried to save his buddy rofl, and thinking that rofl was town and Tajo was a cautious scum who was trying to confirm himself and avoid claiming vanilla in a game with a vanilla cop.

So you went back and forth between two positions, both where Tajo was scum, and strongly argued against his lynch? No, you are lying.

Guys, Yos is so scum. rofl is also scum. The question is, is either more likely to have a role that gets a two-for-one.

SC, we don't know how many shots KMD has (and I'm happy him not revealing still, in case there's a roleblocker). So I think trying for 2-for-1 is worth it.

[ekiM]

Can we please just unvote until discussion is thoroughly done with? Why the need to vote before a consensus is reached on which lynch is best?

[ekiM]

In post 1927 I misread "keep" for "kept". Sorry.

Vote Count:

6 to lynch.

roflcopter: 5 (elvis_knits, Kmd4390, PookyTheMagicalBear, SerialClergyman, zu_Faul)
Yosarian2: 3 (charter, Thesp, VP Baltar)
Thesp: 1 (roflcopter)

Not Voting: 2 (ekiM, Yosarian2)

[charter]

ekim is right, Yos is clearly lying about going back and forth between tajo. He's also lurking massively today.

We should really be lynching Yos...

[elvis_knits]

No, ekiM is not right there. Yos is saying he keeps going back and forth wondering rofl's allignment after seeing tajo flip scum. He has made no admission that he thought tajo was scum yesterday.

This is neither here nor there, as I still think Yos and rofl are scum, but not because of ekiM's reason.

I mean, the bit he quoted is sort of scummy because he's floating a way for rofl to be town. That's why it's scummy. Not because of what ekiM said.

[charter]

Fine

unvote, vote rofl

[mith]

Final Vote Count:

6 to lynch.

roflcopter: 6 (charter, elvis_knits, Kmd4390, PookyTheMagicalBear, SerialClergyman, zu_Faul)

Yosarian2: 2 (Thesp, VP Baltar)
Thesp: 1 (roflcopter)

Not Voting: 2 (ekiM, Yosarian2)

Mastication

It is not quite lunchtime when the residents of Llamaville reach a decision. Of course, one shouldn't lynch on an empty stomach, so they drag roflcopter along, tie him to a chair, and dig in. Today's special? Ice Cream Burgers.

After eating lunch and dessert (at the same time!), they prepare the noose, but are once again interrupted before they can carry out their execution. One of the TV monitors in the Community Centre comes to life.

Good afternoon, friends.

We here at InVy Inc. would like to apologize for some of the unusual events of the past days, and also for our lack of communication regarding them. You see, one of the town's mascots, a llama named Arbuckle, escaped his... er, rather, he wandered from the field in which he lives a free range lifestyle of peace and tranquility, and before we could track him down he managed to chew on a couple of rather important wires cables. Now his hair is sticking straight out, and we've only just now restored communications, both with you and the outside world.

We understand that one of Llamaville's citizens was killed yesterday, and that you have found evidence that he was a member of some criminal organization with murderous intent. We are, of course, shocked, and are doing our best to work out how this could happen. In the meantime, we would like to reassure you that you are perfectly safe, and that the combination of multiple mysterious deaths and a rogue citizen with possible connections to the Mafia are entirely coincidental.

Thank you for listening, and enjoy your stay here in Llamaville... however long that might be!

Not at all reassured, the citizens resume their lynch mob mentality, and string roflcopter up.

After he stops twitching, they search his pockets and find a slip of pink paper. The edges are burned, and after some brainstorming on its meaning they come to the conclusion that it was meant to be destroyed to eliminate any incriminating evidence, but roflcopter couldn't bear to lose it and so he pulled this scrap out of the fire. The line, apparently from a poem, reads:

...love the way the moonlight gleams upon your blade,
the way the blood runs down your cheek, a red tear shed for those you slay...

---

roflcopter (Mafia Lover) has been lynched.

Celebration

"So, what are we going to do with the rest of our day?"

"Can we lynch someone else? We're really getting the hang of it, now..."

"Don't be silly. One lynch per day, that's the rules."

"Karaoke, then?"

---

Not settling for just karaoke tonight, the remaining residents of Llamaville - population now only half what it was 4 days ago - set up Guitar Hero, SingStar, and Dance Dance Revolution in the Community Centre, the latter making use of roflcopter's dead body as a playing surface.

Good times are had by most, but when it is Yosarian2's turn at the microphone, he starts to cry.

"What's wrong?"

He ignores the question, runs a hand across his face to wipe the tears away, and starts to sing.

I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do.
I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow, noone said a word about the sorrow.

And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again.

The others clap politely, but Yosarian2 doesn't hear them. As he sings the last word, his falls to his knees, then on his face. His heart has stopped beating.

The group put two and two together, get four, and drag the new corpse over to facilitate two player DDR.

Yosarian2 (Mafia Lover) is dead. It is Night 4. Deadline is Thursday, October 8.

Indemnification

It is a dark, stormy morning. Lightning flashes overhead, and if not for this light the remaining residents of Llamaville might miss the body as they rush to the Community Centre in an attempt to stay as dry as possible. However, as a flash illuminates the ground, one of them catches something out of the corner of an eye and tries to stop and turn. Given the water coating the grass, this of coures has disasterous consequences, and soon the entire population of Llamaville is on the ground, covered in water and mud and grass stains.

The one who started this mess pushes off of the ground and walks over to the body, ignoring the rain. SerialClergyman lies in a pool of mixed blood and muddy water.

---

The previous night...

"If I... should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you ev'ry step of the way.

And I... will always love you...
I will always love you..."

One of the DDR players trips and bumps into the other console, causing the music to cut off. SerialClergyman frowns and stops singing. Meanwhile, someone starts up a track on Guitar Hero: "Departure", by The Foreshadowing.

---

Good morning, friends.

Well, what does one say in a situation like this? Twelve dead? Three of them criminal scum? An apology would be empty at this point.

But let's look on the bright side! In spite of our apparent mistakes...

On the screen, in tiny print, appears the following caption: "Any mistakes, apparent or actual, are the sole responsibility of Llamaville residents, regardless of cause. Mr. Grey Enterprises and its subsidiary division InVy Inc. are not liable for the consequences of any such accidents, coincidences, or even deliberate actions."

...you eight are still alive! Well done! And perhaps the danger has passed. Surely the idea of more than three mobsters working together in such a small community as yours is out of the question...

Thank you for listening, and enjoy your stay here in Llamaville... however long that might be!

SerialClergyman (Bodyguard) is dead. It is Day 5. With 8 alive, it will take 5 to lynch before deadline, which is three weeks from this post.

[Thesp]

The end to yesterday made me laugh.

[Kmd4390]

I didn't shoot last night. Was happy enough with yesterday's outcome.

Vote Zu_Faul

[VP Baltar]

Well it seems the scum tried to kill Kmd yesterday, assuming SC was protecting him.

I think I need to mull this over a bit today when I have sometime before I determine who to vote out of Thesp, Pooky and zu faul.

[Kmd4390]

We're not lynching Pooky.

[elvis_knits]

Well, this is going well.

I can only assume SC died protecting kmd.

So far the plan from yesterday has worked out.

1)Lynch Rofl
2)Watch Yos suicide. If that doesn't happen:
3)Lynch Yos

4)Lynch Zu
5)Watch Thesp suicide. If that doesn't happen:
6)Lynch Thesp

Looks like next step is to lynch zu.

Only thing that is making me have slight doubt about zu/thesp being scum is the way VP wants to look at pooky. VP doing good job of trying to get himself on the lynch list.

[Kmd4390]

Yeah. I'm not sure who I'd lynch between Thesp and VP. Definitely not Pooky though. And Zu comes before either.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

We're not lynching Pooky.

this post is full of win.

[elvis_knits]

Handy claim list:
charter - stumpy
ekiM - vengeful townie
elvis_knits - vanilla
Kmd4390 - vig
PookyTheMagicalBear, replacing alexhans N1 - vanilla
Thesp - vanilla
VP Baltar - vanilla
zu_Faul - vanilla

[VP Baltar]

I fail to see what pooky has done in this game to make you believe he is town, but whatever. I'm pretty much fine lynching any of the three people I listed because I think any remaining scum are in their ranks. Order shouldn't matter because I don't see how we can lose the game.

[Kmd4390]

We're not lynching Pooky.

this post is full of win.

Kmd got your back.

[Kmd4390]

VP, scum were all over lynching Pooky over Tajo.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

this is the way i see da game

these 4 are like beyond reproach:

charter
elvis_knits
Kmd4390
PookyTheMagicalBear, replacing alexhans N1

ekim is probly innocent.

my order of scummiest to least scummy for people i think are scum are:

Zu
Thesp
VP

We should have 3 lynches so i'm not so worried about that.

tho the extra person we have allows us to shoot once at night, so really 4 kills we gots.

and I'd love a Zu lynch followed by Thesp vig =)
