View Full Version : The 2nd hand car salesman [Concluded]

Bad storyline, not even good enough for a video game.

The committee of customers of the little town of Orgahentry discovered that they are infiltrated by the most evil of evil salesmen : the second hand cars salesman of Orgahentry.

Since the committee of customers don't know his identity, they'll have to hold a meeting each night and vote for the person they think is the 2nd hand cars salesman.

To get rid of this foul creature, they decided to kill him using their own, decent, vehicles.


7 players required.

1 2nd hand car salesman; he's the mafioso.
6 naive customers (townies)

Day = night phase
Night = day phase.

During daytime, the salesman lures a naive customer into his shop and sells him a crappy car. The customer will die in a car crash.

During the night, the customers form a committee of customers and vote one of them. The victim will be killed using vehicles.

There are no camels in Orgahentry.

Quote whatever you want. Townie pm will be available in thread.

Damn, this night=day and day = night thing is confusing.

Where's the muppet who implemented that in this game? :wall:


Day = night phase
Night = day phase.

:shame:

Ok, it's day (= night in mafia terminology). In this round no lynching but killing by the mafia.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Killing phase 1

Proletariat was walking in Orgahentry.

A good looking man in a 2.000 $ suit lured her into his shop. Proletariat couldn't resist the expensive looking BMW the guy was selling.

After she paid 50.000 $ for the car, she drove outside. She decided to test it on the highway. Unfortunately, the brakes didn't work. She died a fraction of a second after the car hit the tree.

It's now night (=voting phase).

Voting will last for +/- 24 hours (maybe a bit longer, depending on how busy my Saturday will be).

His vote was essentially a meatball, in that it had no less real reason for its issuing than anyone else's here. Plus, it was the second vote, hardly a serious bandwagon, even in such a small game.

Yaropolk

Because it's down to me & Tratorix, and I know I'm innocent, so this way at least I have a 50% chance of lynching the salesman.

04-27-2008, 19:57
That means that the other 50% is guilty and you are the car salesman...

We have 1/4 chance to lynch mafia this round

Its called discussion Tratorix. Even if I have said nothing, my 8 posts to your 4 shows that I have been more active then yourself so trying to help the town isn't really a lynchable offence. Plus FactionHeir has posted more than me, so if he were not dead, would you of gone for him...?

Vote:Caius , Yaropolk's idea may not work but its worth a try, with 4 people left and one MIA, anything and everything should be employed to stop the mafia.

Disucssion means actually discussing things relating to the game, not sticking in comments that don't do anything. It seems to me like you're trying to seem active without contributing anything, which seems even more likely now that you're pulling the "I post a lot so I must be pro-town" defence.

Also, you say you agree with Yaropolk's no lynch idea, then put a vote on Caius. Scummy. :no:

I say lynch Sarathos now.:smash:

Sarathos
04-29-2008, 04:48
"I post a lot so I must be pro-town" defence.
I never claimed that, nor will I now. But I don't see how you, how has only 5 posts; one to sign up, two evidenceless votes and the last two accusing me. Now how can you say I am not discussing....?

Also, agree with Yaropolk's idea but Caius didn't which does seem rather scummy. I don't know about you, but I want the town to win.

Another point, what evidence do you have against me? Apart from the fact that I post a lot, which I always do when I am active. All you have been doing all game is following others. FactionHeir, who also has nothing, has been after me all game, and you are only after me because he is. And now I am voting Caius and you are so quick to defend him.

So yeah, not much I can do.

So I don't know

Yaropolk
04-29-2008, 05:07
if you want town to win, then vote for No Lynch, you'll have better odds tomorrow.

You are making posts which seem like discussion, but in reality don't do anything. You are trying to seem active, but not stand out. Classic mafia tactic, one which I have had success with in other games.

The only thing you posted that really has a bearing on the game is a vote for me. The rest has been filler. So, my accusation stands.

Ghost vote: Sarathos

Sarathos
04-29-2008, 09:10
Nice try Tratorix, its not working.

If we vote no lynch then we are just giving the mafia more time. One of us will die come night phase, so if we doint lynch someone now then we are just giving the mafia more targets.

FactionHeir
04-29-2008, 10:30
Only a mafioso would not want people to vote no lynch now (or get himself lynched for that matter)

Point is, if we lynch the wrong person now (25% chance) we lose. If we vote no lynch and let the mafioso kill someone, we got a 33% chance to lynch the right person.

04-29-2008, 13:02

Look at my post above for detailed explanation of how voting no lynch increases our chances - they correspond with the figures FH gave (1/4 = 25% and 1/3 = 33%)

I can't vote anymore but I would very strongly suggest voting for Sarathos. He fought very hard to avoid a no-lynch vote yesterday, even going as far as writing me the following PM.


Yaropolk, we only have one shot at this, I say we lynch Caius now. If he is not mafia then it is Maka, but he is lurker/inactive so he is slightly doubtful.

I can only claim my own innocence, so whether you believe me is up to you.

seireikhaan
05-03-2008, 22:50
Vote: Sarathos. The math was punched out right there in front of him; either we lynched yesterday and got a 1 in 4 chance of getting it right, or we do it now with a one in three chance. Every bit helps, and the fact that he seemed so against it is very curious. Either way, the game was going to end this turn, so we might've as well done as much as possible to raise our odds.

The committee was confident that they finally found the despicable second hand car salesman.

Sarathos was tied between two decent cars, namely, the car of the two remaining comittee members, makaikhaan and Caius.

Both started their engines.

The cars started to roar and both esteemed committee members drove into opposite directions, slowly tearing Sarathos in several pieces.

"Ha!, that'll teach him!", Caius said.

"Yeah!", makaikhaan said, a big smile on his face, happy that the terror finally ended.

"Let's get out of here, the police will clean this mess for us," makaikhaan said, and both committee members walked away.

Sorry mate, don't have that one.

Just a question, hasn't the mafia already won because there is only on town left? Though he will die tonight so I guess its ok.

Well, its between Caius and Makaikhaan. Its either Maka, the lurking mafia or Caius, who is trying to play innocent but its not working.

Caius
05-05-2008, 03:33
Congratulations to mkhaan then. I was blind about the fact that you were mafia, Sarathos. Had I know that you weren't, I would had voted mkhaan.

Andres last phrase gives me some hope. But I won't do a lot.

Andres
05-05-2008, 08:51
...

"Let's get out of here, the police will clean this mess for us," makaikhaan said, and both committee members walked away.

"By the way, Caius," I noticed you drive an extremely old car...

Caius shivered. "makaikhaan, are you going to sell me a car?"

"Ah, well, why don't you come over to my place. It never hurts to look, eh? Besides, just think about how you will impress your neighbours with that shiny Mercedes I happen to have in stock."

Less then an hour later, the shrewd businessman makaikhaan sold Caius an "as good as new" second hand Mercedes for the price of 100.000 $.

Needless to say, the delighted Caius died in an even bigger car crash then the biggest car crash of the century. It was the biggest car crash of the millenium, the grandmother of all car crashes and Caius's Mercedes caused it.

MAFIA VICTORY
