Group Therapy Mafia - Game Over

[pablito]

Group Therapy Mafia

Having been diagnosed with a mental disorder by your referring psychiatrist, you have decided to enter group therapy at your local community mental health center to attain coping skills to treat your disease. You were told that group therapy would be the best form of treatment and that nothing else would work long-term with minimal side effects. However, some individuals in the group are faking their illnesses so that they can steal you away from group therapy and into their preferred forms of treatment. They will do what they can to get people out of the community health center and dependent on their own treatment methodology. But as always, some treatments are not for everyone. Some of these different treatments can be extreme and even life-threatening. Let the insane crazies unite to throw out all the group therapy infiltrators before they take over the world.

During “day”, all the players will convene to determine who should be banned from group therapy. Then during “night”, they all go home and stuff happens. Repeat.

Rules of our Group Therapy sessions (shamlessly stolen from various sources):

• First rule is the most important one. Do not have sex with other members from group therapy. It disrupts the dynamic of our therapeutic relationship.

• Second rule is that all votes must be in bold.

Vote: Denial

. This is like raising your hand to speak. We must respect each other's choice to communicate and reinforce that person's willingness to share.

• Third rule is that you please

Unvote

before casting a new vote. Your old vote will count until you

Unvote

. This is so that we know that you are changing. And changing means that you have decided that your old stance has been faulted and you are willing to see the error of your ways. Willingess to see that a change needs to be made is the first step in acknowledging your humanity.

• Fourth rule is that lynches will require a simple majority of votes. Once a player has reached the necessary majority, his pleas are useless and any attempts to unvote will be unheeded. You may

Vote: No Lynch

– majority votes of this kind are necessary to end the day without a lynch. If a deadline is placed, a majority of votes casted will suffice. It is necessary that we keep an appropriate balance within our group. When certain people become blood-sucking tumors, it may become necessary to expunge them from our inner schemata. Although we prefer to deal and cope with all relationships and not avoid them with defense mechanisms, sometimes people can be so toxic that we must remove them for the sake of the concept of the self.

• The next rule is that once a player or no lynch hits a majority, it is Twilight. Please do not post during twilight. I will lock the thread once I can. Once you are dead, you may no longer post. Sessions must end on time because I need to go back home to feed my fifteen cats. Also, please send payments on time. Just because I'm only charging 50 per session, it doesn't mean that I'm cheap, you know. I'm not your emotional escort. And this is not your personal pay-by-the-hour seedy hotel room no matter how bad it may smell right now.

• Once I have locked the thread, it is Night. At this point, if your role allows it, you may talk to people via PM. I will declare the deadline for night-choice submissions when I lock the thread. If you do not declare your night-choice prior to deadline, I will choose it for you or decide that no night choice is made. You really shouldn't talk to each other outside of group if you're not supposed to, because that makes it easier for the group therapy sex to happen. But feel free to call me at my home phone number so that you may harrass me with your inane psychological needs so that I may charge you more for therapy hours while I pretend to listen to you. Also, try to get your night choices to me as soon as you can.

• Do not edit/delete any previous submitted posts. Do not use invisible text or color=black. I don't like secret communication. It makes it easier for the group therapy sex to happen. I keep on talking about it, but seriously, it happens a lot in group therapy sessions. Especially when the group therapy is comprised of sex offenders.

• Do not quote any PMs from me, people you can talk to at night or

anything

from outside the game. The game is not to be discussed outside of the thread unless your role specifically states that you may do so. We have a circle of trust here, and we must not have anything infiltrate our circle of trust.

• Please try to post at least once per day. If you anticipate being unavailable for more than a 48-hour period, please post a notice to that effect in the thread. Treat this game as a commitment and be considerate.

• I am your mod. Anything I say goes. PM me if you have any questions. And don't forget to send in your payments for group therapy on time. I need to feed my cats.

The pro-town win condition is:

You win with the Town when all evil is gone.

Five days ago you were just at your primary care physician for a routine check-up. You had been having some spells of nausea and heart palpitations and you were worried you might be having a heart attack. Luckily your physician told you that your heart was alright. However, he noticed that you had been undergoing a lot of mental stress lately and referred you to a psychiatrist. Why? I don’t know. You don’t know either. You’re not crazy and you don’t want to be institutionalized or undergo shock therapy. What’s wrong with you? I don’t know, but why are those voices telling you that you’re crazy? The psychiatrist obviously notices that there’s a lot of sweat on your brow and that your heart is beating like crazy. It seems that all the symptoms are due to anxiety and not because of a medical condition. Suddenly the psychiatrist pulls out his watch and waves it back in forth in front of you.

You are getting sleepy…your eyelids are becoming heavier…

**Claps** You’ve just woken up on a couch and the psychiatrist tells you to sit up. He hands you a piece of paper with something written on it. Oh, your diagnosis. It appears you have some type of mental disorder. He tells you that you should enter group therapy at your local community mental health center to attain coping skills to treat your disease. You were told that group therapy would be the best form of treatment and that other forms of treatment may not be as efficacious or may have adverse side effects. Nonetheless there are others like you. And you will all start group therapy now.

Let's begin by introducing ourselves and talking about what goals we might have for our group therapy sessions. I would like everyone to participate as much as possible. I will be your group leader and I may help guide the discussion, but don't make this into your own one-on-one session with me. Group therapy is all about helping each other and finding out that we aren't alone. Now, why don't you start *points at you*?

[Maximus]

I'd like to say that I'm very upset with rule number one. Why am I paying you in the first place?

*awkward silence*

Ohh...so this isn't that kind of "group" sessions...crap. Well. This is so awkward that it's going to make for a good nighttime story to little Timmy when, and if, he decides to accept me as his biological father instead of blaming me for being the stranger who offered the kid some candy while he was on the see-saw all by himself at the local park the other day around evening time. I mean, honestly, what kid denies a stranger from a candy? Hahaa, I switched my words around accidentally, and now the previous statement just sounds hilarious, right folks? SOOOO speaking of accidental hilarious situations, I want us to bring everybody back to the original point that I was trying to make which was how I thought that this was some type of group safe sex orgies therapy sessions, although it clearly makes sense how I thought that because my 400 year old landlord lady, who by the way cannot possibly have enough cats with 26 being a small number and whatnot, decided it would be funny to forcibly write "safe sex orgies" between the words group and therapy on the pamphlet that 'accidentally' ended up in my mailbox. The dinosaure-era grandma going through all of my mail and actually tampering with them is the least of my amazements considering the fact that the old lady managed to use the words "sex" and "orgies" at the same time. Baffling. And that's exactly the word that is able to describe my feeling towards this whole group therapy shebang, and the fact that somebody is trying to steal these pathetic, no-good, homeless, lonely, giant-debt oweing, fetus-face, "frowning is my middle name" dirtbags who are only here because their mother's breasts weren't big enough when she hugged them, or when their father did hug he would have them turn around and bend over backwards and called it a 'hug' even though we all know it wasn't exactly a 'hug' even by east african tribesmen who wear those god awful rings on their ears making them look like elephant people, and not to mention elephantiasis runs high among those population in the first case making their feet so big that you can practically go hiking on them. The fact that somebody is trying to steal these....I mean YOU people, is just...mind-boggling. So please, if there is any humanity left in this group, please PLEASE cover my 3 month due rent and pay it to the slightly creepier female version of yoda, and while you're at it, satisfy her group orgies fantasy even though we all know that a slight feeling of orgasm will absolutely rupture her spleen and in the process, kill her which will make for a good sunday morning headline "Old lady dies from orgasm" which will be right above the "Need adoptees for 26 sexually harassed felines".

Oh, and inHim, spare us all the mindless insult and please stay away from the snack bar, even though you can barely hold the juice cup in your hand without smashing it into pieces on the account of you being clinically AND aesthetically overweight which brings me to my next point, which is Why oh sweet lemon juice why did you apply for a handicapped parking tag? Are you too afraid to die of heart attack while trying to make your way from middle of the parking lot, which is by the way where normal (happy) people are parking nowadays...thought you might want to join that club, to that new bed, bath & beyond, and come on, we all know you are going to be skipping the bed and bath aisles and heading straight to the beyond section? My point is, buddy, stay away from the cookie jar. We knoooww that momma loved you plenty when she offered you a cookie from the cookie jar everytime you managed to finish a small corner piece of that green brocolli which by the way, cleverly I must say, was covered in mayo even though you very well knew that it was only possible since your mother was color blind to yellow and thought you were spreading fat-free "i cant believe its not fat-filled cheese" cheese.

Ugh.

vote kops

for being such a great rolebuddy in magic on mtgs. TO DA END BABEE.

though i guess that's kind of a silly reason to be voting someone. I mean, really for it to be worthwhile voting him, he would have to be scum. Is he scum? Don't really know. But I need to vote someone at the beginning of the game. why? Well that's an interesting question. I mean, I guess I could not vote someone, let all this pass me by and end up not far removed from where I was in the first place. But that would remove a fairly unique point of the mafia game from my sphere of influence, and my sphere of influence likes to be, well, influenced. Question is, is it a bad thing to do so. I reckon not, but I haven't really put much thought into it. TBH I haven't really put much thought into it, though I suppose I could. But I'm not really in the mood to do that now. Not really now, no. Now is a word. yes. Now. Noow. Nooowww. NNOOWWWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW. WOW. WOWULAR. WOWTASTIC. WOWULARTASTIC
