Mini 950: DCI Mafia (The Results Are In...)

[Slaxx]

Yeah I'm not ready to decide this shit.

vote no lynch

[CryMeARiver]

CMAR is just using AtE to get votes off him. He gave a Replacement heat within seconds of the Replacement reading his PM and tried to trick a claimed townie. I don't like it.

What the fuck?
That's a commonly used element of the game, it's happened to me 3 times when I replaced into the game they asked me to claim right away even though my replacement(s) had already claimed. It's not me trying to trip up a townie, it's me reaction testing a CLAIMED townie. Btw, you failed the reaction test IMO.

Robo: You really think me and Nacho? I wish, because we would totally win this time

No lynch is CLEARLY the best move to me. I know I'm setting myself up for disaster if scum has a roleblocker, kills the cop, to frame a real doc, but the truth is, no one is sure of any scum yet and I don't think anyone has agreed on 2 scum. Another investigation would be invaluable to us because it would provide another clear or guilty and truthfully, I never like to lynch on MYLO unless there is a clear without a protective role (because then it's pointless).

For my reference (and yours if you choose to use it):
Kunk: CMAR and ?
Steph: CMAR and ?
Slaxx: I've heard Robo, Steph, and Me - Not sure what he is thinking right now and I'd prefer not to know today because he clearly doesn't want to give away his investigation, but then again, if there is a roleblocker UGH
CMAR: Nic/Robo and Steph
Robo: CMAR and Nacho
Nacho: ?

[Slaxx]

My guess is since scum had to fend off town and a SK one is probably investigation immune or kill immune, and the other is probably a roleblocker or rolecop. I mean, with two mafia they both have to be powerful with a cop, a tracker, and a SK to fight off.

Anyway, point being, we have to take chances. Follow me in my ballsless no lynch.

[Stephoscope]

Anyway, point being, we have to take chances. Follow me in my ballsless no lynch.

This seems like an oxymoron to me. I know what you meant, but let's "take chances" and lynch someone who's scummy.

[Slaxx]

Id rather now. Worst case scenario is you lose me. Best case is we get an investigation. Its worth the risk.

[Trumpet of Doom]

Deadline has passed. No-Lynch Scene forthcoming.

[Trumpet of Doom]

Simply having fewer people in no way made it easier to come to a consensus. As the day wore on, people came close to being agreed to kill one person or another, but never quite got there.

However, in past days, they'd still ended up killing

someone.

This time, they didn't have enough people to convince themselves that someone devoted to fair play necessarily agreed on the lynch, so they eventually decided that they'd just go back to their rooms and hope everything blew over. After all, they already had one killer down - there'd still be enough of them left the next day to have a majority, right? Right?

No Lynch occurred Day 3

It is now Night 3. D4 will start Sunday, May 23, 2010, at ~9:00 PM CDT (GMT-6+1).

[Trumpet of Doom]

Perhaps some of the musicians had been hoping that a no-lynch would lead to a no-kill that night. Unfortunately, that was not to be: Of the six who went to bed last night, five got up that morning.

Slaxx was conspicuously absent from the conference room once the other five arrived. Fearing the worst, they went to his room - yep, he was dead, all right. His wrists were slit, he was holding a razor, and his CD player was playing Gershwin. They didn't even have to look too hard to see that as he had claimed, he was from the Bluecoats, and he'd been investigating different corps to see if they'd been up to anything nefarious. Nobody expected him to have been scum, but they checked just to make sure - what do you know, he was as innocent as NavyCherub had been.

Slaxx,

Bluecoats,

Townie Cop, Got the Blues Real Bad N3

Day 4 begins!

With 5 alive, it will take 3 votes to lynch at any time, including deadline.

Deadline:

Sunday, June 6, 2010, ~9:00 PM CDT (GMT-6+1)

Note: I leave town a day or two before then. While I could try to line up a replacement mod, I'd rather not have to.

[Stephoscope]

Vote: CryMeARiver

[Nachomamma8]

Unvote, now.

[CryMeARiver]

Hey, just checkin in. Was on vacation. Anti Prod post. Will play catch up in the next few days. I was just wonderin if someone could do one of those wagon analysis's Dicaria/Ellibereth do. I wanna check somethin out. If no one does, I'll do it. Thanks

[Robocopter87]

unvote, vote Cmar

[kunkstar7]

Vote: CMAR

Thanks Steph.

[kunkstar7]

Barring vote shenanigans, I think this is good game people. If not, well then this game is over for us anyway. Steph, I don't see why you voted in LyLo right off the bat. I didn't even need to defend my not being dead. Thanks robo for finally getting on, I've been refreshing this page for like the past 10 minutes since I saw you get on.

Also CMAR, you might want to post that in the game it was supposed to be in .

[Parama]

Jesus people. You listen to Parama when Parama says to lynch kunk next time please.

[Robocopter87]

Booyaa.
Game set.

Ya, it woulda been a lot more complicated if Steph hadn't voted.

[Trumpet of Doom]

ToD Presents: The Best of DCI (Bluecoats, 2007: Criminal)

Vote Count V:

CryMeARiver (3, LYNCH) - Stephoscope, Robocopter87, kunkstar7

Not Voting (2): Nachomamma8, CryMeARiver

3 votes are required to lynch.

Current Deadline:

Sunday, June 6, 2010, ~9:00 PM CDT (GMT-6+1)

Lynch count has been reached. End of Game scene forthcoming.

[Trumpet of Doom]

For once, the players actually came to a consensus quickly, with Stephoscope again voting that CryMeARiver was most likely to be trying to break the system. kunkstar7 and Robocopter87 agreed and said that they felt Stephoscope should be the one to kill him.

"With what?"

"Well, this is a conference room, there have to be projector cables and such around here," suggested kunkstar7.

"Good point," replied Stephoscope, who soon fashioned a noose out of surge protectors and extension cords.

A while after Stephoscope finished putting the noose around CryMeARiver's neck and released him to let him hang from the ceiling, they took him down and checked to make sure he was dead. As Nachomamma8 and Stephoscope turned around from checking CryMeARiver's vital signs, each found themselves staring down a Smith and Wesson. One shot from each was all it took.

---

"Gentlemen, I think you'll find your victory to be hollower than you'd anticipated," said one of the administrators as kunkstar7 and Robocopter87 strode out of the conference room.

"How so?" asked kunkstar7.

"Most of the other World Class corps heard what happened and are pulling out in protest," said the admin. "It's a lot easier to control who wins when you're the only two competitors."

[Nikanor]

I swear, I'm policy lynching Nicodemus the next time I see him.
And I still don't understand why I was lynched (aside from my play, which was thoroughly crappy). D:

[Trumpet of Doom]

Role PMs:

Mafia:

Numbers never lie. You can put on a show. Your 13 championships are proof of that.

However, you're feeling a bit uncertain about your future. You yourself admitted in 2008 that you were Constantly Risking Absurdity in your shows, and you're worried you'll start generating shows that are too beyond the judges... wouldn't it be awesome if you could ensure that only you could win championships?

But you know you can't pull it off alone. You'll need another corps to help you, and they'll want a cut of the spoils. Ah well, such is life.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

kunkstar7

. You are the

Blue Devils

, the corps with the most titles of any of them... and you want more.

You are the

Mafia Godfather

. You have the following special abilities:

Factional:

You are a member of the Mafia with

Nicodemus

Robocopter87

(Carolina Crown, Mafia Goon). Each night, you may discuss in this QuickTopic who to kill and who to send to make the kill. As long as you are both alive, you have the final say on who kills and who dies. Your kill method is "Got the Blues Real Bad".

Safeclaim:

You know that

Santa Clara Vanguard

is not in the game and should be safe to claim; if they were, they would be a Townie Doctor. (A full safeclaim PM is forthcoming.)

Passive:

The Godfather, Part BLUE:

If you are investigated by a cop, you will appear innocent. However, you are not immune to other information roles.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

Tradition is one of your strongest influences. Like the way you play your snares tilted when virtually nobody else does anymore. Like your tradition of making DCI finals every year since the circuit was started in 1972.

And like the drum corps tradition of fair play. You'd like to see everyone stay in competition. Maybe you can help protect people who might be... um... forced to leave the competition.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

kunkstar7

. You are

Santa Clara Vanguard

, a corps combining tradition and innovation to try to keep audiences interested.

You are a

Townie Doctor

. You have the following special ability:

Active:

3HREE: Mind, Body, and Soul:

Each night, you may protect one player from a kill on that night.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

Oh, so close. You can feel the championship getting closer and closer, and it's almost agonizing waiting for the day when it finally happens. Second place last year... God, you can almost taste the victory. Finally, you've grown tired of waiting and have decided to try for a hostile takeover of DCI... but you joined Division I/World Class/whatever it's called less than 20 years ago, and you know you'll need some help from someone with legitimacy.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

Nicodemus

Robocopter87

. You are

Carolina Crown

, the highest-placing corps not to have won a championship. You'd like to get one, but you're not confident you can do it on your own... luckily for you, you've joined forces with another corps to try to get one for yourself.

You are the

Mafia Goon

. You have the following special abilities:

Factional:

You are a member of the Mafia with

kunkstar7

(Blue Devils, Mafia Godfather). Each night, you may discuss in this QuickTopic who to kill and who to send to make the kill. As long as you are both alive, Player 2 has the final say on who kills and who dies. Your kill method is "Finished".

Safeclaim:

You know that

The Cavaliers

are not in the game and should be safe to claim; if they were, they would be a Vanilla Townie. (A full safeclaim PM is forthcoming.)

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

You know what show you'll be most remembered for: Frameworks. Three movements, each named for one of the basic components of music: Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm.

It's only fitting, then, that you get the most basic of roles here.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

Nicodemus

Robocopter87

. You are

The Cavaliers

, the corps that originally set the DCI score record in 2002, with your show Frameworks. Unfortunately, just being good on the field isn't enough.

You are a

Vanilla Townie

. You have no special abilities.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

SK:

It took you long enough to get to the top, didn't it? You tied in 1996, but you wanted more. You had to wait twelve more years for an outright title, but when you got it, you relished it.

And then you got sunk to ninth. Ninth! What, do these people have no respect for you?

Screw this. You're out to get as many more championships as you can... and these corps who're trying to set up a power-sharing arrangement just gave you an idea.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

Parama

. You are

Phantom Regiment

, and you'd like nothing more than to have it all to yourself.

You are the

Serial Killer

. You have the following special abilities:

Factional:

Each night, you may kill a player. Your kill method is "Sacrificed".

Safeclaim:

You know that the

Boston Crusaders

are not in the game and should be safe to claim; if they were, they would be a Townie Vigilante. (A full safeclaim PM is forthcoming.)

Passive:

On Air:

If a tracker targets you or a watcher targets the player you kill, they will not see you. However, you are not immune to cops.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

From your inception as the Most Precious Blood Crusaders, it's been obvious what you like to do. You like to fight. During your period of bankruptcy, you were fighting just to stay afloat; you fought to overcome your penalty for using a synthesizer back in 1985, 24 years before they were legal.

Now you're into a new situation, and you're ready to return to your roots. You're out for the blood of these upstarts, but you don't want to get rid of the pure at heart... hmmm, what to do...

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

Parama

. You are the

Boston Crusaders

, and like the original Crusaders, you believe it is your duty to eliminate all impurity from drum corps... one way or another.

You are a

Townie Vigilante

. You have the following special ability:

Active:

RED:

Each night, you may kill a player. Your kill method is "Sacrificed".

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

Town:

You didn't ask for this. All you wanted was to be able to compete fairly. On your own terms, yes, but on a level playing field. You're sure they're going to suspect you, though, and you can't really do anything to stop it, can you? Well, you can try...

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

Nikanor

. You are

The Cadets

, and you'd like to be a part of a fair competition... if they'll let you.

You are a

Townie Miller

. You have the following special ability:

Passive:

...and the pursuit of happiness:

You come up guilty (or the closest equivalent) to all investigations.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

(Mod Note: If Madison targets Cadets, they will be seen targeting a random player that died that night; if nobody died, they will be seen targeting a random living player.)

"A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent." That is Scout Law, and you will stand by that to the bitter end. (Well, most of it, anyway; "thrifty" and "clean" probably aren't really as necessary as the others right now.)

Now, time to go practice for your Wilderness Survival merit badge by tracking these other people to wherever they go.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

Looker

. You are the

Madison Scouts

, and are thus part of the Boy Scouts of America.

You are a

Townie Tracker.

You have the following special ability:

Active:

La Noche de la Iguana:

Each night, you may select a player outside of whose door to stay. I will tell you who that player targeted that night, if anybody.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

What? There are corps that want to control who wins the DCI World Championships? You wish it wasn't true, but they wouldn't make an announcement like that if they didn't believe it.

You sigh and say a little prayer that you can draw from your corps's roots in the Canton Police Boys' Club (yes, really) and find these dirty scumbags through investigation as well as through just watching what they do. Of course, at some point you'll need to decross your fingers, but that can wait at least a little bit.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

Slaxx

. You are the

Bluecoats

, so named for the police force of your home city of Canton, Ohio. You hope that they are with you in spirit now.

You are a

Townie Cop

. You have the following special ability:

Active:

Criminal:

Each night, you may investigate another player to see if they are engaged in any wrongdoing like trying to fix the competition. However, since you are not a licensed member of the police force, your results are not guaranteed to be accurate.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

(Mod Note: Sane, but will not be told that.)

You've had a fairly short existence, having only been founded in 2001. You played in Division II for six years, winning the title in 2006, then jumped up to World Class the next year.

So before you really achieve status in the drum corps world, you figure you'll have to serve your time.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

NavyCherub

. You are

The Academy

, the newest World Class corps by founding date in DCI. You can hardly believe you've been wrapped up in this, and you're sure you don't know what to do to help.

You are a

Vanilla Townie

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

Ooh, shiny! You're a corps that prides itself on its color guard and drummers.

For those who don't know, those are stereotypically the ditziest and the dumbest sections of a drum corps, respectively.

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

animorpherv1

. You are the

Blue Knights

, and even though you regularly place in the bottom half of the finalists, you believe that a fair competition is best for all involved. That said, you can't

do

anything in particular to meet that aim... well, except for what everyone else is doing.

You are a

Vanilla Townie

. You have no special abilities.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

The nerve of these corps to try to anoint themselves kingmakers of who will win the championship. You just can't believe it. If they want trophies that badly, why don't they just work for them? Your management sees you as the poster boy for hard work, and if anyone wants to get in your way, they'd better think twice. You will not be denied.

...too bad you can't actually do anything special to deal with them now...

Welcome to Drum Corps International Mafia,

Nachomamma8

. You are the

Blue Stars

, a Division II/Open Class powerhouse who recently ascended to Division I/World Class with a plan to reach the very top... wouldn't it suck if you couldn't do it on your own merit?

Vanilla Townie

. You have no special abilities.

You win when all other factions have left the game, or nothing can prevent this from happening.

Since 1983 in North Carolina, when the crowd felt you should have won a competition and booed the judges for ranking you in second place, you've felt that rankings don't matter, but how you feel after a performance does. Well, you're on the biggest stage of your life... and you'll have to improvise as you go.

Dvořák. Borodin. Bizet. You've played them all - composers and pieces that people should have heard of, but haven't.

The result in the past has been that you've gotten high marks from the judges, but the spectators haven't enjoyed your shows as much as some others. Well, I suppose it makes sense for you to not get a particularly interesting job to do here.

Movie music is your lifeblood. Well, of course it is, you're based in Los Angeles County. Hollywood's practically right next door. You're a certified movie buff by that fact alone.

However, thrust into a situation like this, you're forced to remember that not every story has a cinematic ending. Hopefully you can help make sure this one does.
