Title: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Black Sword on 26 Nov 2012, 05:49
Death is stalking the village you all have been calling home. Corpses with many a bullet hole lined the streets for several agonizing weeks until what small number of you villagers left decided to take action. No longer will the scum that calls themselves the mafia have their way with you all! It has been decided from this day onward that once a day, people will lynch a person they suspect to be part of the mafia. Of course, popular vote will determine who gets this gruesome fate.

However, the mafia wishes to eliminate the village and use the land for their own nefarious purposes. Once a night, these criminals in the shadow will meet up in order to determine which person shall die.

With the lines drawn, who will weather out this storm?

Rules
1. Days will last for 48 hours or a player receives more votes than half the number of players still alive to get lynched
2. Nights will last for 24 hours. Roles which require PMing the host to select their target have to do so by this time frame else they don't target anyone. Should you have a role which can target a player and wish not to use it, simply have "ABSTAIN" as the title for the PM.
3. Roles of people who die will be revealed.
4. Unless you are a member of the masons or mafia, chatting is restricted to this thread during the day.
5. No posting is to occur in this thread during the night except by the GM(me for those who didn't know that).
6. Once a player posts in this thread, that post cannot be edited or deleted.
7. Lynch votes should be in bold.
8. Dead men tell no tales (no dead players can post in the game thread)

Player List:
01. idontunderstand (mason)
02. dr. nervioso
03. Patrick (cop)
04. Linds (Mason)

09. Gareth
10. Unicorn
11. Nikolai

The Mason can speak to their fellow mason members
Villagers get no extra ability

Well, then, I suppose we have to pick someone to lynch...

I'm wondering how exactly some of these roles (like cop or doc) work, but I guess we'll find out.  Can they "out" themselves to the villagers, or is that not allowed?  Seems like they're public servants...
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Lines on 26 Nov 2012, 06:22
Ooo, this has a lot more special roles than I've played with before, this should be interesting! I've only ever seen mafia, cop/sheriff, doctor, and village idiot (compulsive liar).
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Black Sword on 26 Nov 2012, 06:45
Any player in the game can claim any role at any time. Whether they'll be believed is another matter entirely. Of course, if you reveal yourself as X role, don't be surprised if the Mafia come to visit you that night to "discuss" any "grievances" with you.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Lines on 26 Nov 2012, 08:15
For example, you could say, "I am ALL of the roles!" but that would most likely create a paradox and you'd have to both lynch and murder yourself at the same time. Dun dun dun!
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Lines on 26 Nov 2012, 10:37
Question for clarification - are we lynching someone before a player is murdered OR are you having the mafia kill someone and then we vote for lynchings?
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Black Sword on 26 Nov 2012, 10:45
It's all up to you guys. You can all vote No Lynch now, and end the Day, letting the Mafia spill first blood during the Night, or you can gamble and try to lynch a Mafia guy within the next approximately 48 hours by drawing each other out and trying to figure out who is acting shady.

For now, initiative is with the villagers.

Post by: Carl-E on 26 Nov 2012, 10:49
Quote from: what I was going to type, but was too slow
It's day 1, so the lynching is first.  The mafia murders "discussions of grievances" happen at night.  At least, that's the way I read it. 

So, who we gonna lynch?  (I'm excited!)

I'm still excited, but I think waiting might be a good strategy. 

Really wanna lynch somebody, though.   :-(
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Black Sword on 26 Nov 2012, 11:53
If you really want to lynch somebody but don't want to off an as yet of unproven innocence player, why not lynch someone not even playing the game? That way, everybody wins!

Except the lynched person.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village

I'm confused. Lynch somebody outside of the game? I can't even make a joke about that right now I'm so WTFduck  :psyduck:.

Seriously, I think waiting for the Mafia to show its hand would be a better move, so I vote no lynching today

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have determined who the vigilante is...

or maybe the insane cop. 

Whichever. 

Idontunderstand, "Unless you are a member of the masons or mafia, chatting is restricted to this thread during the day", and since we need to vote on who/whether to lynch today, it has to be done in this thread. 


Wait, are you mafia?  Maybe we know who to lynch today after all...   :laugh: :roll: :psyduck:

Hey, Bear volunteered for lynching! Anyone want to string him up, hang him within an inch of his life and then throw his half-dead body at a paper wasp nest? He said we had to be creative with his murder, so...

No lynching today

Carl-E,

2. Nights will last for 24 hours. Roles which require PMing the host to select their target have to do so by this time frame else they don't target anyone. Should you have a role which can target a player and wish not to use it, simply have "ABSTAIN" as the title for the PM.

I read that final "PM" as personal message, so I thought that was how we would vote. But I guess it makes more sense this way.

How are lynchings performed nowadays anyway? In Sweden we have this fine tradition involving icy lakes and wolves.. let me know your opinions.

That is Bear Belmares, a Mexican American piercer based in Austin. He had 5 1/2" lobes last I checked. He's had to re-stretch them a couple of times due to having to remove the jewelry for open heart surgery a couple of times. Of course that's stretching them back up from like, the 3" they shrunk down to.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Black Sword on 27 Nov 2012, 05:14
First 24 hours complete! We have three votes for no lynching, one for lynching this Bear person. 8 votes is majority, so the quicker we vote, the quicker we get to some bloodletting tonight.

Yes, that's the right PM, but it's only for roles that can use PM to communicate and decide who to target - I think that's just the mafia and the masons. 

Zingo Unicorn, I think votes only count if they're in bold - otherwise, it's just discussion. 

Ackblom12, I was guessing his name had to be bear... only way it could have been a joke that no one would get! But yeah, that's not the same as "getting it".

I'm told that you gave instructions to have your murder be interesting, so what could be better than a good ol' lynching, under the direction of these 14 good people?

Post by: TheEvilDog on 27 Nov 2012, 09:36
OH! I know what we can do!

We can make a noose from a few chainsaws and hook 'em up to an engine!

That'd make for a pretty interesting lynching.

Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: pwhodges on 27 Nov 2012, 13:36
You are not killing people on the basis of a court of law with evidence and suchlike - you are using rumour and guesswork to decide that someone is a baddy to be killed.  In these circumstances lynching is the appropriate word, or simply murder if you want to be a tad more genteel.

I think he was punning on grisly, but with gristle. 

When he chews you up. 


And "murder" is what the mafia's going to be doing - we need to distinguish ourselves from them.  I have no problem with the term lynching, in the game.  As pwhodges points out, it's appropriate.  But if you prefer a euphemism, may I recommend "taking out back"?  As in, "I vote we take X out back".

That's the point of the game, isn't it? - to analyse each other's suggestions and the possible motivations for them, in order to try to distinguish the people who are attempting to deflect the truth about themselves?
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Black Sword on 28 Nov 2012, 04:58
After a day of confusion and suspicion, a Bear suddenly wandered into the midst of the villagers. Unsure of what to do, the villagers stare. The Bear stares back. Some wise-aleck suggests that given the lack of suspects, they lynch the Bear. After due thought, the villagers shrug. Why not?

After a process that involves song and dance, picnic baskets, honey, and antics worthy of a Warner Brothers animation, the Bear is hung. Unsure of what possessed them to do it, the villagers stare in silence at the surrealistic sight before someone finally suggests Bear steak. Once again, the villagers shrug. This will surely be the last time someone in their midst joins them, so they may as well eat!

After delicious Bear steaks are had by all, the villagers retreat to their homes and bar their doors. It's likely some of them won't wake up in the morning.

Night 1 begins

You now have 24 hours to send in your action PMs. Hurry up, folks! The sooner we get to the next day, the sooner the... fun begins.  :evil:

@pwhodges - that's half the point. the other half is to convince people to follow the path you want them to follow for their good... or yours.

______________________________________

Black Sword, a question about gameplay;  When someone is taken out back or killed in the night, is their role revealed?  Or will we be kept in the dark?  Does it vary depending on the role and who did the killing?  And is the vigilante also killing by night with the mafia? 

Can you tell I've never played anything like this before? 
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Black Sword on 29 Nov 2012, 05:19
The sounds of gunshots interrupted everyone's sleep. There was no rest that night as the villagers wondered who would be able to greet the dawn. Once the sun finally creeps up the horizon, they all confer in the village square. Two of their number are missing. Resigned, the search is on.

Gareth is quickly found outside of his home. There are multiple bullet wounds in his body. The expression on his face is surprise; it's clear that the hit was conducted at high speed, before he even knew what had happened. The sheer number of bullets emptied into his body make it clear who could have carried out the hit on this unlucky, ordinary villager.

A shout is heard - the villagers race to the sound. They stare, horrified, at the body of cesium 133, hanging from a tree, his face contorted into a rictus of terror and confusion. They cut him down and discover a single bullet hole in the back of his head. It seems there is another killer, one indifferent to the innocence of a fellow villager.

Confused and worried, the villagers gather to try to decide what to do.

Hmm. People who haven't spoken. Could be suspicious. Also the attacks seem a little random, so maybe it's someone who isn't very familiar with the rest of us. Maybe it's a newcomer. New people are usually suspicious. Or it could be a vocal person who is very adept at covering their tracks, making themselves appear friendly. Hmm. So many things to consider...

I don't even know man...

What I do know is that this Patrick kid is starting to creep me the fuck out. He hasn't commented once, he just sits in his house all day. Watching. Gazing. Piercing the depths of your soul to find the blackness you've hidden deep within, aloofly judging you with the silence of the grave. Knowing your darkest sins and knowing that it is only the tip of your iceberg before he smiles and nods in amusement. That smile that tells you that he knows, oh he knows, about the pile of dead babies in your garage and about that hooker on 150th street that just wouldn't go quietly...

...

I say we hang him for reasons that don't even make sense. Anyone else?

Y'know, in my social circles, taking someone out back means something completely different...

Do I want to know?  I don't want to know, do I? 


Dammit, now I wanna know...

______________________________________

Black Sword, a question about gameplay;  When someone is taken out back or killed in the night, is their role revealed?  Or will we be kept in the dark?  Does it vary depending on the role and who did the killing?  And is the vigilante also killing by night with the mafia? 

Can you tell I've never played anything like this before?

Sorry, I missed this earlier. Now then. When someone dies, their role is revealed regardless of manner of death. The Vigilante can be killed at night by the Mafia and vice versa.  And yes, I can tell.

OK, just going on the "no posts makes them suspicious" idea, the only one who hasn't posted yet is Whitey Fats.  You may recall him, his avatar (and real name, apparently) is Randy...

I mean, I tend to believe Patrick about his job...

And though J makes a good point about idontunderstand's speed with his pitchfork, that can be chalked up to general excitability.

"General excitability." That's because people in this town are being MURDERED. And how long are you going to wait? Until the mafia shoots you up or some crazy pants vigilante comes up and shoots you in the head? If locking people up was the answer, I'd do it, but the mafia has resources and who knows what this vigilante can do. (I've watched enough Batman to know what vigilantes can be capable of.)

So I'm sorry, but I am seconding the motion to execute Patrick.

Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: henri bemis on 30 Nov 2012, 10:37
This is tough.  I think it's too easy for the mafia lurking among us to cast suspicion on people who haven't posted much - there's not much evidence, but they're easy targets for not speaking up as often.  Which kind of makes me suspicious of Gnomes for getting that bandwagon rolling. 

Then again, the less you post, the easier it can be to fly under the radar until we're all annihilated.  Enough 'no evidence' starts to get really suspect.  In that case, I'd be more inclined to vote for Whitey Fats.

But we've already lost two villagers!  I need to think on this some more, but I'll get my vote in soon.

I'm wondering why Garteh and cesium were targeted.  We're assuming cesium got hit by the vigilante, yeah?  But why would the Mafia choose Gareth?  Did they, like Carl-E, think he was the vigilante (if he had been, that would have been revealed, I thought)?  If Carl-E mafia who ran with that suspicion, and convinced fellow goons to whack him?  Or was it the gristly, grizzly puns that lead to his grisly death?

It's possible that Gareth was the vigilante. I still think he might have been - we might be memorialising him in death, but do you remember him? Alive, he was absolutely unhinged! He threatened to kill all of us! Did you see what he did to that bear? He was certainly crazy enough to go start killing people.

And if that's the case, thank god. Who knows when he might have turned on any of us?

Pat's a friend of mine, and if he says he's been at work - which you all know he has a full schedule of working, singing, playing guitar, and making mistakes with pretty girls - then I believe him. I vote no lynch.

Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village

That's kind of why I'm surprised the mafia went for him first - he'd have been great for deflecting suspicion during the day, unless he was (or strongly suspected of being) the vigilante.  In that case, they did us all a favor.

(not pertinent to the game, but holy shit, the no edit rule is making it so hard for me to not correct the typos I made in that last post.  The only reason they're still there is because I'm trying my best not to scratch the itch.  I swear that my typing is not usually so poor).
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village

What would be the best way of investigating this mess? Maybe we should gather our resources and act as detectives and start PM:ing people.. the problem is that the mafia has no outstanding characteristics we could go on.

Are we allowed to just flat out say which role we have?
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Carl-E on 01 Dec 2012, 00:52
The thing is, the cops shouldn't reveal themselves, they'll get hit right away.  Neither Mafia for the vigilante will reveal themselves either, of course, and the masons are the only other ones who can coordinate anything - I'm still not sure what role they really play except for being a group that knows its members aren't anything else (wait, can a mason be the vigilante, or a cop?  I don't think there are dual roles, there were exactly 14 roles and 14 people before doubled names were removed). 

Dr.Nervioso, if you bled when you shaved like I do, you'd have  beard, too.  And it's only itchy if you don't keep it clean...

I'm clean!  I'm clean!   (oooh, double entendre, and it's not even sexual!) 

I agree Gareth probably got whacked because he was acting out, I'm sure the mafia thought he was covering something up; but since he wasn't revealed to be the vigilante or a cop or even a mason, it all must have been a ruse.  But here we seem to be going the other way, thinking that people who are quiet are covering something up.  But even idontunderstand didn't feel right about his vote. 

*sigh*.  We're going to wake up tomorrow to another death (probably two), and we've really got nothing to go on.  All we can do at this point is hope we're lucky enough to take out a mafiosi. 

But I'm going to make it a real race, and nominate the one person who hasn't felt the need to defend themselves - I move we take Whitey Fats out back

It was a term used by some friends who had a small farm whenever they needed to slaughter an animal. 


One day, my daughter was grumpy and complaining about how crummy she felt.  My wife called (she'd been out running around), and told me to get her ready and outside to take her to a doctor's appointment that had been made on the fly earlier that day.  When I told her to get ready, she asked why, where were we going? 


I told her "out back", since my wife was pulling the car up near the back door. 



She looked horrified, and I suddenly realized what I'd said...

The thing is, strategy can't really play into a game like this. After a couple of days, a mob mentality develops and out goes the rule of law and in comes the hanging judge, aka Dave from down the road because he has the tallest tree and a good length of rope.

However, in the spirit of the mob mentality, I say we string up Idontunderstand!

Fine, fine, while I still stand by my reasoning that Patrick is a creepy mofo, it seems that he is finally interacting with society and no longer watching us with those beady, beady black eyes of his... *Shudder* That does get rid of a good deal of suspicion. But if we check his basement and find dead puppies, then I claim rights to "I told you so."

Therefore, I'll have to wait a while to make my vote. See what other evidence comes around and all that. But right now I'm leaning towards Whitey Fats.

After lively debate, accusation, and general unfounded paranoia, the village decides to lynch Whitey Fats, a quiet man who never showed much interest in their terrors. Surely such nonchalance was the mark of the godfather!

Once Whitey Fats stopped kicking in his noose, the villagers searched his home. They found nothing more than the ordinary tools of a common man. They had just lynched one of their own.

So since y'all seem SUPER INTENT on lynching villagers here, I'd like to point out that I am a villager, and therefore it would be in no one's best interest to lynch me. I can't do any harm against the mafia (I'm not a cop, I'm just a shut-in who plays Elder Scrolls) and the villagers really wouldn't want to hurt another one of their own (even if they do out of sheer incompetence).

I trust none of you. Unicorn could be lying. And several of you have been quiet. TOO quiet. And then just as many are being very vocal!

Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Carl-E on 02 Dec 2012, 17:47
I imagine the mafia start off as "in-the-dark" as we are.  The first few hits are probably as random as our lynchings have been.  Remember, they want to take over the village by clearing the rest of us out - doesn't matter where they start.  What we need to do is make sure we don't do more of their dirty work for them! 

We need that cop to figure out who's mafia and who isn't, but I'm not sure how that works yet.  I hope we find out soon! 
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village

Oh, I thought the mafia all knew each other!  at least that's how I've played before - they could coordinate via PM and such.  I've been assuming it works the same way with this game, but if not, I'll need to rethink some things.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Carl-E on 02 Dec 2012, 17:57
No, sorry, you're right.  And in this game, the masons know each other, too.  What the mafia doesn't know is who's the cop, the vigilante, who's a mason... all they know is who's mafia.  So their hits are not completely random, I guess, but trying to see a pattern from two hits isn't going to get anyone anywhere. 

We need more info, and that's either more dead bodies, or the cops!

(The GM is late, but he had a busy weekend, so it's ok!)

It has finally happened. The villagers have become inured to the sound of bullets. The death of one of their own is no longer an impediment to sleep. The villagers greeted the dawn with relief, before they girded their loins to see who had made it through the night. Headcount was conducted. One person was missing. The search was on.

A bullet-riddled corpse is dangling from the same tree that cesium 123 had hung from yesterday. The pool of blood below the body strongly suggests that poor Linds was hung and shot while he up in the air. Only ruthless, cold-blooded murderers could have done such a horrid deed against an honest mason. It seems the Mafia is trying to send a message.

The villagers gather to try to figure out who did the deed.

At the very least, we can be pretty sure that Patrick isn't the other mason because Linds voted for him yesterday.  She's also the only person killed so far who voted to hang anyone (cesium133, Gareth, and Whitey Fats all either voted 'no hanging' or didn't vote at all on both days).  Did she get too close, or is the mafia trying to set us up?

Guys, it's been a long day including a trip to the emergency room (for a friend), but I want to say a couple of things. 

Someone mentioned only one killing, but Linds was strung up (a la vigilante) and riddled with bullets (mafia style).  She obviously offended a few ... interesting people. 

Looking back, she did indeed nominate Patrick for a lynching, but she also threw some suspicion Unicorn's way, to the tune of some (perhaps too loud) protestations. 

Patrick already has several votes, perhaps enough.  I'm going to think on this a little more before casting mine. 

Dr. nervioso, were you serious about being the doctor?  Would you like to come over this evening for tea & protection pastries?    :-D :psyduck:

Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village

i did not want to lynch someone on the first day, i only pointed out the consequences for not doing so. if i had wanted to lynch someone, i'd have voted to lynch someone on the first day.

and if i were in the mafia, wouldn't i be more likely to cast votes, since i would know who all the other mobsters were & could make sure to only lynch the innocent?


actually, now that i think about it, the fewer votes we have, the easier it is for the mafia to sway us to lynching ourselves! that can't be good.
there are 4 mobsters among us, and 4 people voted to lynch poor mr. fats, who we now know is innocent. the question is, did they know?

because of this, I now vote that we lynch Carl-E, the first one to vote for poor mr. fats.

Yeah, but if voting for people makes you mafia, and if staying silent means you're shady and therefore either mafia or vigilante, then that's something of a catch-22.

I think we should focus on less pathetic ways to figure out who's suspicious or not. Such as common denominators.

not necessarily - we've been pretty good at attacking our own so far without much help :/

but I do agree that there's probably at least one mafioso among those who voted for Whitey Fats (which does include me, but I know I'm not mafia, even if I can't prove it).  It wouldn't be wise for all of them to vote the same way, but Carl-E did start it.

Welp. Three for Patrick, one for idontunderstand, one for theevildog, one for J, one for Carl-E. Sorry, Patrick.


After much debate and accusation, Patrick was voted to be hanged by the barest majority. It seems the poor fellow, with his thousand-mile stare, had offended quite a few of his fellow villagers by existing. Over his protestations of innocence and pleas of exhaustion, he was hung by his earlobes until he could wear ear rings. Then he was hung from cesium133's tree with said ear rings in his ears.

Only after a search of his home was it discovered that Patrick was formerly a member of the police, and likely the only sane cop left in the village. Appalled, the villagers scurried home and barred their doors.

Bear's dead. 


Good steak, though. 


Oh, I know!  Who hasn't posted yet?
I usually think Gnomes is on something (have you seen him in the welcome thread?).  However, his general randomness is probably as good as anything else right now - unless we hear from an officer of the law about something he or she has found.
OK, just going on the "no posts makes them suspicious" idea, the only one who hasn't posted yet is Whitey Fats.  You may recall him, his avatar (and real name, apparently) is Randy...

I mean, I tend to believe Patrick about his job...

And though J makes a good point about idontunderstand's speed with his pitchfork, that can be chalked up to general excitability. 

*sigh*

I'm just going to wait a bit.  THis is getting difficult!
[lots of meaningless analysis]

I agree Gareth probably got whacked because he was acting out, I'm sure the mafia thought he was covering something up; but since he wasn't revealed to be the vigilante or a cop or even a mason, it all must have been a ruse.  But here we seem to be going the other way, thinking that people who are quiet are covering something up.  But even idontunderstand didn't feel right about his vote [for Patrick]. 

*sigh*.  We're going to wake up tomorrow to another death (probably two), and we've really got nothing to go on.  All we can do at this point is hope we're lucky enough to take out a mafiosi. 

But I'm going to make it a real race, and nominate the one person who hasn't felt the need to defend themselves - I move we take Whitey Fats out back.

Sorry to self quote, but you'll notice that between my suggesting that we go for someone who didn't speak yet and finally settling on Whitey Fats, there were nearly two days of deliberations!  Patrick finally joined in the game, too.  If I wanted Whitey dead, I would have nominated him earlier! 



Yes, mistakes were made, but with nothing to go on, it was a random choice based on a bad criterion.  Unfortunately, no one's raised anything better to use yet.  Patrick, what kind of commonalities are you thinking of?  Voting blocks?  Do we even have any?  Anyone want to make a list? 

Warning - while you were typing someone you were talking to was lynched. You may wish to review your post.

Dammit!

He voted for Idontunderstand, but that could easily be an educated guess. We are down to very few normal people now (... ok, normal in a batshit crazy kind of way for some of us *Blinking sign points at my head*) and he might have discovered who was normal, giving him the knowledge that no one he hadn't investigated was normal.

In other words, Idontunderstand could be Mafia just as easily as he could be the doctor, we just don't know. What we do know is that he most likely isn't normal and that the odds of him being non-violent are rather low (insane cop, 4 mafia and vigilante are all still running around, after all). Since we have to play smart now, this might be the closest thing to an intelligent strategy we have developed.

Then again, he could get hit by the mafia tomorrow. Hell, I could get hit by the mafia tomorrow. Let's wait and see what the results are...

Gun shots rang out twice in the night. The curious thing was that the first time was a sharp staccato, the second a single sharp note. The villagers rose at sunrise, uncertain of what the daylight would bring. Headcount was conducted. Two people were missing.

The first place the villagers go is what has become known as the cesium tree. A body was swinging from the noose. Carl-E was cut down and a single bullet hole in the back of his skull is found. The villagers search his home and discover, horror of horrors, the emblems of power of the godfather himself! Has there been a coup in the Mafia? Is there a new godfather in charge?

Elated at the death of the godfather, the villagers are barely nonplussed at the death of Unicorn, a normal villager shot enough times to make a lead horn.

The villagers gather to try to capitalize on their reprieve.

Today seems pretty straightforward to me - Patrick was the cop, and he voted for idontunderstand yesterday.  Though he only had two nights to investigate, and we have no way of knowing if he knew idontunderstand's true identity, he was still more informed about what's going on than any of us left who aren't Mafia.  It's early, so I'm waiting to hear what others think before casting a vote, but that's how I'm leaning.

also, we got one!  or, the vigilante did, I think (would the Mafia really turn on him like that?), but I'll take it.  There are only seven people left, though, four being either vigilante or goon, which is going to make voting... interesting.  I don't like being outnumbered.

Hmmm, Idontunderstand seemed incredibly intent on lynching Patrick. Did he know? Who knows, the guy can't be entirely trustworthy now that the lone sane cop is dead. Either he's one of the mafia, or the vigilante looking to cover his tracks.

I say we hang him high. Idontunderstand for a lynching!

Indeed, because of Patrick's investigations Idontunderstand is the best choice we have. I hate relying on that creepy shut-in's investigations, but I don't really have a choice now... :-\

Patrick didn't even join the thread until later! He was some lousy cop if you ask me..  :mrgreen:

Carl-E was the godfather? My world is shattered!

There is no sense to anything at all anymore!

Quote from: J
actually, now that i think about it, the fewer votes we have, the easier it is for the mafia to sway us to lynching ourselves! that can't be good.
there are 4 mobsters among us, and 4 people voted to lynch poor mr. fats, who we now know is innocent. the question is, did they know?

because of this, I now vote that we lynch Carl-E, the first one to vote for poor mr. fats.

told you so.




still, idontunderstand is the most informed choice we can make, slim though it is.


whoever the vigilante is, i strongly suggest that he or she follow up on poor mr. fats' persecutors.

Accused and blamed for the death of Patrick, idontunderstand was damned by the majority. Shouting "I don't understand!" the whole time, he was hung from cesium133's tree until he was dead.

Unfortunately, a search of his home revealed that he was truly the simple mason he appeared to be. Discouraged, the villagers hoped against hope that another miracle would occur.

Night 4

Action PM time now.

A familiar song of violence echoed in the night. The sharp staccato and the solitary sharp note, the music of death the villagers knew by heart. The sun rose to reveal the work of darkness. Headcount was conducted. Two people were missing.

The villagers went to inspect the cesium tree. A body was swinging from the noose. Gnomes2169 was cut down, the customary single bullet hole in the back of his skull confirmed. A search of his home revealed knives, guns, and cement concealed in barrels. Gnomes clearly was a goon in the service of the godfather!

Whatever joy to be found is cancelled out when the villagers discover the body of J. He has been shot in the back enough times to write the Hippocratic oath with the holes. He was the doctor for the village.

Paranoia is the order of the day. The villagers eye each other warily.

Day 4

God, this village is fucked up.  Why did I ever move here?

But we do have to make a decision.  If we don't kill anyone today, the mafia will kill someone else tonight, leaving either the insane cop or the vigilante as the only non-mobster left.

There is only one thing to do in this situation.

Dr. Nervioso. I choose you! For a lynching!

I don't trust any of you guys.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: henri bemis on 09 Dec 2012, 12:48
I've been suspicious of dr. nervioso, as well.  Also, Nikolai.  I think both of them are goons, but I'd like to give them a chance to speak up before I vote.

And you were very quick to throw dr. under the cesium tree.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: TheEvilDog on 09 Dec 2012, 12:54
To be fair, he wanted to throw me at it for a pretty daft reason, which has hardly left me with the best impression.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: henri bemis on 09 Dec 2012, 13:09
That's true  :-\.

Ok, I'm voting dr. nervioso.  I don't know if two votes is enough, but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes.

Post by: dr. nervioso on 09 Dec 2012, 13:15
HMM

Well guys, I have a confession:
I'm the crazy cop.
And which means at least one of you two is a mafia member
So be careful how you react to this post, as it will reveal who you truly are
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: TheEvilDog on 09 Dec 2012, 13:21
"Confessing" doesn't prove anything.
You could be confessing to throw us off you. For all we know, you're the vigilante.
All we know is that there are four people left: two mafia goons, one insane cop and one vigilante. The goons presumably know who the other is, but that still leaves things up in the air.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: henri bemis on 09 Dec 2012, 13:26
I'm the vigilante.  And so far, I have the best only record of taking out the mafia.

If I get lynched, the insane cop is alone, and loses.  If I don't, I at least have a shot of evening the score. Looking through the voting record, I think you're lying.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: TheEvilDog on 09 Dec 2012, 13:34
Ah now we're getting into the crux of the game.  :-D

This is it, isn't it. Either we're all lying, or at least one of us is telling the truth. I could say I was the crazy cop, but then suddenly I've opened myself up for reprisals from the Mafia.

We're at the stage now where if one mafia member gets lynched, the village wins (such as it is). While if one more good guy dies, the mafia wins.

Do we toss the coin? Either way, the game ends tonight.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: henri bemis on 09 Dec 2012, 13:48
It's not so much a coin as a d4, and it really hurts when you step on those  :-P.

(I'm just so glad this game even reached the end - I've played far too many that just fizzled out).

Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Nikolai on 09 Dec 2012, 14:35
I'll cast my vote for Dr. Nervioso as well, cementing the majority.
Title: Re: Mafia - Big Village
Post by: Black Sword on 10 Dec 2012, 06:29
In the end, it all came down to appearances. dr. nervioso looked nervous, the others did not. He was condemned as Mafia and was hung from cesium133's tree until he was dead.

Unfortunately, the truth was that he was really a crazy member of the police force. There were now two Mafia goons versus a vigilante on his last bullet. It came down to quickness of the draw. When the dust cleared, one Mafia stood alone. His fellow goon had fallen, but so had the vigilante. all of the valuable real estate was now his. There was a new godfather.

The Mafia Wins!

Post by: Carl-E on 10 Dec 2012, 19:50
I was.  But after being assassinated, I guess one of the others could have been - no one actually claimed the title, though there was this in the PM's when I was killed;

VENGEANCE! VENGEANCE MUST BE DEALT OUT!

Not to mention us taking the Unicorn out back to throw suspicion on you.  I think that was probably my final masterpiece...

What really chaps my ass is that I was THISCLOSE to killing Carl-E the first night, but changed my mind at the last minute.  Damn it all!  I was more interested in my own survival, obviously, than getting rid of the mafia, but taking out the Godfather on the first night would have been sweet.

Alas, it was not to be  :cry:.  Well played, and great game.  I had a lot of fun.
