That post could have been the kiss of death for you, Leet.

And yours could have been mine

[Silver Rusher]

Unfortunately, my advertising 'campaign' doesn't appear to be working.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I made a lousy detective, mainly by being terribly unlucky.

CR

[Silver Rusher]

It isn't working. I think I'm gonna shut up until the game starts.

[Avicenna]

i join or else some heads are gonna roll.

[Byzantine Mercenary]

alright il join

[Kagemusha]

I would prefer to be lynched on this game. Its an experience i havent had the joy to experience yet in these games.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Ok, Pannonian sadly will be out of town for most of the game so he won't make it; DA is undecided.

Am I forgetting anyone?

1 hour left btw.

[Csargo]

Almost time people better join soon :D

[GeneralHankerchief]

Time.

Nobody else will be admitted to the game, sorry.

I will now randomly pick our mafia and Detective. This post will be edited once those people have been contacted.

Edit: Done. If you didn't receive a PM then you're just a normal villager.

The game has officially... begun!

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I thought I was perma listed

[Lemur]

Wow, big crowd this time. Bad odds for the mafia.

[Drisos]

Yes, we have 9 chances of elimination, in case we keep eliminating innocent people. Shouldn't be too hard.

[Sir Moody]

remmeber to factor in inactive villagers which would result in less chances to catch the mafia

[Sasaki Kojiro]

We lynched 9 in the Godfather right? With 0% accuracy :p

Random lynches are useless.

[Avicenna]

Vote:GeneralHankerChief

^^ is that allowed?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Well he's not playing and voting hasn't started yet.

Also, he can kill you.

So, probably not

[Avicenna]

Pff, not as if the mafia won't get me anyway...

I'm the hottest mafia target aside from disco.

[Masy]

We lynched 9 in the Godfather right? With 0% accuracy :p

Random lynches are useless.

Yeah lol we managed to get everyone BUT the mafia. Is Silver doing another one? It was ace.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Pff, not as if the mafia won't get me anyway...

I'm the hottest mafia target aside from disco.

Hmm claiming to be a hot target? Suspicious.

[Drisos]

Yeah lol we managed to get everyone BUT the mafia.

Lol! too true!

almost all of us lurking villagers bandwagoned on sasaki most of the time... 'tha evil mastermind'

If I had a list like Reenk Roink, I'd put you on it sasaki.. such betrayal. :P



btw seems like the mafia aren't too active at the .org or they intend to have us think so.. kills are taking a while.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Day breaks in the Frontroom. All is quiet. The sun rose, the clouds made their way across the sky lazily, the flowers opened up, and the birds started chirping merry tunes. All was peaceful and right with the world.

Ka-SMASH!

The front door to Silver Rusher's house had been broken down. There were now some extremely loud footsteps tromping their way up his stairs, all the way to his office. As the intruder entered Silver's room, Silver turned away from his computer and yelled at the top of his lungs:

"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING?"

The intruder took out a gun and fired it into the air once. A piece of the ceiling came and crashed down. Silver dove for cover, shattering a vase into a thousand pieces, but the intruder didn't fire again. Instead, he picked Silver up and threw him into a wall, causing a picture overhead to fall and smash into Silver's head.

The intruder then began to strangle Silver, who struggled mightily and gasped for breath. He couldn't break the intruder's grip, however, and after about three minutes he died. The intruder left, firing his gun at Silver's monitor for good measure. The room was trashed.

So much for quiet.

Just about everyone in the village heard the racket and headed for Silver's house, but the intruder made a clean getaway. One of the people who didn't hear anything, however, was Tiberius who lived on the other side of town.

Tiberius woke up late and took his morning stroll down the Frontroom duck pond, unaware of anything that seemed even remotely wrong. Whistling a jaunty tune to himself, he noticed another villager strolling beside him. The two greeted each other, merrily walking along the pond.

Then the villager pounced. He looped a chain of pure, ultra-dense osmium around Tib's neck, and pushed him into the pound. Tiberius desperately tried to get back on dry ground, but the osmium weighed him down so much that it was stupid to try. Still struggling, Tib managed to get a glimpse of his killer grinning evilly before the inky depths of the duck pond claimed him forever.

That evening, Chief of Police Beirut had all the villagers gathered in the town square. There had never been any murders in the Frontroom before, so when two happened in one day the townspeople were natrually scared and suspicious. It took a while for Beirut to gain order, but once he did he spoke.

"Gentlemen," he began, "This is a terrible situation we are facing here. Two people have been brutally murdered in one day. Silver Rusher was found strangled in his office, and Tiberius was drowned in the duck pond."

Everyone snickered at such a lame death.

"Now really, this is serious!" Everybody quieted. "I have reason to believe that our town has been invaded by the MAFIA, and that two of them are posing as normal villagers. Now, this is a small peaceful town, so I trust you enough to weed them out for me. So, this execution will be democratically decided. You will all vote for who you think killed Silver Rusher and Tiberius. Whoever has the most votes will be forced to drink poison in front of everyone. Begin the voting!"

Villagers, now is your time. You have (around) 24 hours to vote for who you think killed Silver Rusher and Tiberius. After the time is up, I will end voting and whoever has the most votes will be executed.

[Silver Rusher]

My god, the mafia really are stupid beyond belief...

Here's one for you, poopy-heads, now that I have been removed for the game in the FIRST ROUND I will be sooo, sooo mad that I will be dead-posting even more cunningly than ever. Such a shame, I was about to have a no posting after death policy but now you can expect me to be more active than pretty much all of the living posters. I have learnt a lot from hosting my own game now and my judgements are going to be far, far more enlightened than ever before. Mafia behavior is something I have come to learn of extremely well. You might just have to go to the highest possible level of play to even survive at all. Another thing you may want to consider: had I been left alive, I may not have even posted very much. I promise the villagers, and I will live up to this one, that the MVFJA (see below) will be the first to name at least one of the mafia.

Tiberius, want to co-found the Murder-victims-for-justice-association (MVFJA) dedicated to rooting out the mafia in this particular game? (no lynchees allowed by the way)

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm I think we can get clues from the delay in the kills posting.

Masy posted for the first time since yesterday, he could have come online for first time since yesterday and pm'd GH with his kill.

The search results on Drisos don't reveal much, but this sentance of his makes me suspicious:

btw seems like the mafia aren't too active at the .org or they intend to have us think so.. kills are taking a while.

Reprimanding your fellow mafioso (Masy?). This kind of post has been a trend in the other mafia games, I can dig up examples if needed. The mafioso or person with a role mentions something like this indirectly and it doesn't get noticed.

Well, I'm noticing it.

Vote:Drisos

[Avicenna]

Sasaki: see? I still have a 100% record of mafia deaths (in the GHC games)

SR: Sure, I can be a co-consul of sorts.

Anyway, some little things I noticed:
-somebody wants to get aggonyduck AGAIN. constant duck references.
-'pound' is misspelt. of course, we can't get much from that... but my hunch is that it's a person making an intentional mistake to differentiate his kill from ordinarily polished-perfect spelling in posts.
-I could see his face after being in the water? what? how? creative story pouring out without being checked perhaps? or another intentional mistake?
-me and SR? clearly one mafia has been from the former game: SR is definitely a logical choice, while I am not due to limited contributions (apart from votes). also, disco not dying? That's interesting, to say the least. I'd give it a few more rounds and lynch if he's still not killed. It seems unusual for him to survive this long.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Ok, heres evidence from the other games:

In the Godfather, after Gorebag didn't send in his kill, GeneralH remarked:

I don't know, let's think about this.

If B_Ray knew Sigurd was a mafioso and knew full well that there would only be one kill the next round, why on earth would he link himself to his now-dead comrade? No way a mafioso would be this stupid.

Either there are two options: The other mafioso probably voted for Reenk or Disco (pretty much anyone but Sigurd), or someone didn't send in their kill in on time.

GH later reflected:

GoreBag missed his kill for the second round. At first I was annoyed, and posted something along the lines of "a mafioso might not have gotten his kill in on time." Luckily nobody noticed.

This is a pretty direct example.

However, other examples of this kind of thing:

Wouldn't it be great if GH is the detective? If he is, then we have a living detective all game.

Ignoramus is the detective, wishing he had been elected Chief of Police.

It appears that at least Tiberius was saved, and I'd say the same would count for DA (beer stolen ?). Maybe the work of a lifesaver ?

EDIT: Lifesaver may be a bad word, Doctor would be better

Dutch guy was a doctor.

I don't think you peeples should judge the guy who was at Orb's house so harshly. I mean come on, "thief" is just not right at all. This guy probably is dirt poor, and needs to live on what others waste. If the world were a more generous and fair place, he wouldn't have to go through others trash. Heck, he probably only took the newspapers to use as bedsheets, and also to rummage through the classifieds. Not only that, but this guy chose the right house and gave us an incredible clue on who the real criminals are. And yet he is demonized...

This guy is a hero!

Society has failed this noble, noble individual...

Reenk Roink was the "thief"


I'm willing to bet the mafia is at their most careless at the beginning of the game. I believe that was a slip up by Drisos.

Masy's posting time/Kill posting delay is also worth looking at in the future.

[GeneralHankerchief]

People, don't take too much from these kills. "Pound" was a mistake. As for you seeing your killer's face Tib, it's just what the mafioso wrote.

As for kill times:

Just to clarify: Never base your accusations on the fact that somebody was online and/or PMing before the kills were posted. There are a few reasons for this. One, I could have just got on and seen the PM. Two, they could have been PMing someone else. Three, I could have already received the PM, but at a time where it would be hard for me to post the kills so I put it off. Four, I could have received the PMs but purposely not posted the kills right away to throw you off (I have done this many times). Five, keep in mind that it takes me anywhere from 20-40 minutes to actually write the kills and post them. So if you see someone PMing right before the kills are posted, it’s actually a safe bet that they didn’t do it.

Carry on.
