Long, long ago, in a land far to the East, a splendid coronation was at work. A man in rich, colorful robes robes was placed atop a bejeweled throne, in his large, splendid castle. Servants from all walks of life lined the long hall, every one bowed to this one man. A priest, himself dressed in humble, plain robes, was bowed before the man, not three feet in front of him, a crown in his hands with three beautiful rubies, three emeralds, one obscenely large, pristine sapphire resting atop the middle, and with the highest quality white jade trimming the crown all around.
The priest spoke, "My Lord we all gather here today to celebrate your great triumphs, your generosity to your people, and, of course, your ascension to the throne. You have truly deserved your new rank, through all of your past efforts and sacrifices . May your reign be long, and fruitful. My lord, Makaikhaan, may you never forget all those who sacrificed to help you ascend, and that you may be just, wise, swift, and benevolent in all decisions you make. From here on, ma-..." The priest's words were cut off, as he staggered forward, nearly dropping the opulent crown before being caught by the soon to be Emperor.
"What is wrong, priest?!" Makaikhaan demanded.
"A strong presence..." the Priest managed to whisper. "A force stronger than anything I've ever felt. Its some kind of intense spiritual energy... Its oppressive, how can you not feel it?" Makaikhaan looked about, none of the servants seemed to be suffering, nor could he feel a thing. Truly, he had picked a great Holy Man for his coronation if he could feel such things with such sensitivity. The priest whispered again, "Its some kind of spirit, or demon, lord. Something very, very powerful. Perhaps more than one. Its likely inside the castle now. You must ready yourself. I don't know how much longer I can last, this spiritual energy is sapping my strength... Let me... let me at least finish this coronation..." The priest, with Makaikhaan's help, staggered back to his feet, crown still in hand. "I hereby crown you... crown you..." The priest's hand shook, but he just barely managed to place the crown atop the bent head of Makaikhaan. "I..-" The priest suddenly dropped where he stood, in a lame heap upon the floor.
"Servants, come here!" Makaikhaan ordered. "Take this man to the physician! He is to survive at all costs!" Several servants brought a futon underneath the poor priest, and dragged him to the physician's quarters. Makaikhaan then turned to the rest of the servants. "Some kind of demon or spirit is in the castle! Look how it attacked this great holy man! Something is amiss here, everyone be careful for the night! Report anything suspicous to me in the morning, for everyone's sake." And with that, a frustrated man wheeled on the heel of his foot, stepping quickly back to his sleeping quarters for the night, angry that the something would attack the priest and stop his coronation from being complete. He hoped that the priest would recover quickly, there was simply no one else in the land who compared. THAT would be the priest who coronated him. With his mind racing with thoughts, the Lord fitfully attempted to get his night's sleep...
Greetings all, welcome for this next mafia game! I'm looking for roughly 40 people, same as last time, but I'll certainly accept more if demand dictates it.
Rules:
NO QUOTING HOST'S PMS, NO QUOTING CHATLOGS, NO SCREENSHOTS, NO ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS, AND NO TRANSLATING HOST'S PM'S-You may quote PM's from other players. You may claim whatever you want, including role name, so long as you don't quote my PM's word for word, or very close to word for word. Also, you cannot reveal victory conditions. Period.
The dead cannot reveal anything, including previous night actions, but they may participate as much as they want to contribute to general discussion. The dead also may not communicate outside the thread in any way, shape, or form relating to this game, be it via PM, chat, quicktopic, or other. Please do not PM the dead as well, to avoid any confusion.
I do not allow Vote: No Lynch as an option. Period. You may abstain, however.
If you wish to take back a vote, you CANNOT do it by editing a previous post. I will not count it. Period. You must unvote:playerX in order to recant the previous vote. In order to vote for someone, you must do so in the usual Vote:makaikhaan style. Votes must be bolded, for reference.
WOGs will occur if a person does not vote 3 rounds in a row, or if they do not vote in 4 rounds in total. Please, please don't make me WOG you. It won't be a pretty death.
Suicides will only be allowed in the event of a person being very much unable to participate in the game. I do not allow suicides for any other reason.
No links to anything outside of this thread. Period. I don't care if it pertains to something completely irrelevant.
It would be very helpful for the sake of my sanity if players kept a tally running.
DON'T MESS WITH THE TALLY! If I determine ANYONE is intentionally misrepresenting the tally, I WILL wog the offender immediately. I will not put up with BS like that.
Voting periods will be 24 hours, though I may occasionally extend it to 36 if necessary.
Any ties in voting will await someone to break it. First vote to either person who is tied will result in lynch, regardless of any posts after it.
Roles-
3-4 mafia, including a "godfather" of sorts.
One detective, one doctor.
And... other miscellaneous roles y'all will have to deal with/figure out. Some will be pro-town, some won't be.

Northnovas sat against the west wall of his room, unable to get sleep. The bizarre happenings of the coronation were at the same time puzzling and frightening, a poor combination for attempting to gain sleep. He looked up at the window at the top of his room, at the full moon peering back at him with a stark shine. A puzzled look overtook his face when, suddenly, the moon no longer shone down upon him, evidently blotted out by dark clouds that had appeared from nowhere. Off in the distance, a faint drumbeat began, growing stronger and stronger. Northnovas scrambled to his feet to get a better look out the window, peering around the landscape looking for what might be the cause of the clouds and drums. With his face pressed against the glass, a sharp bolt of lightening struck at him. The charged particles struck the window, melting it into sand instantly. However, Northnovas was not so lucky. The heat from the glass turning to sand melted his face. Northnovas fell back to the ground, writhing in pain for about 15 seconds, before suddenly stopping completely. He lay unmoving, when another bolt came down from the heavens, striking the limp body once again, as if the very elements themselves wished to make sure he died.
EliteFerret was in his room, sitting in a meditative pose, visibly relaxed. However, his relaxation was ended swiftly and suddenly when the door to his room was opened. EliteFerret peeked open to see who his visitor was. A red-skinned humanoid with a book and brush in his hands stepped in. EliteFerret looked up, looking mildly surprised at the strange guest. The intruder opened the book with his left hand, and flipped through different pages, until it apparently found the page it looked for. It brushed in several marks on the page, while EliteFerret, still in his pose, continued to look on in interest. After a few marks were down, the being closed the book, turning its gaze down to EliteFerret, a glare upon its face. It turned on a heel, opened the door, and left the room. EliteFerret raised an eyebrow. "That was strange," he muttered to himself. He closed his eyes once more, attempting to get back into his previous state of mind. But upon the closing of his eyes, EliteFerret's body suddenly went completely slack, and he fell to the floor in a heap. He attempted to get up, but his eyes wouldn't open, his body completely unresponsive. Suddenly, his breathing became extremely difficult. His lungs seemed to not want to work, seemed to be suffering the same fate as the rest of his body. EliteFerret suffocated silently, until at last, his heart beat no more.
Lord Winter stalked carefully down a dark hall, keeping his feet light, and attention sharp. A blank facade upon his face, he stopped suddenly when a board beneath his feet creaked rather loudly. No commotion, it appeared nothing had noticed. He continued down the hall, and stopped at a door. He slid the door open just an inch, to peer inside. Suddenly, he heard another loud creak. His head spun around; he himself was not moving, and the creak did not sound like it had come from beneath him. Eyes scanned, but found nothing. He turned his attention back to the door. However, as he turned his head, a strong wind suddenly blew through the hall, for just a second, knocking him off his feet and into a wall. Lord Winter struggled back to his feet, and when he was back up, he found himself suddenly face to face with a being that surely wasn't human. A dark, fanged face grinned back at him. A leopard skin was draped around its waist, and a large bag was in its right hand. The being grabbed Lord Winter in its left hand by his throat, and squeezed incredibly hard, crushing his windpipe. Lord Winter didn't struggle as his death became more and more imminent, instead laying limply as the dark creature continued to crush his esophagus. The being threw the limp body to the side, and it became quite clear that no life lay left in Lord Winter.

Yes, I wanted 40 players. But there are such things as deadlines. And I owe more to those who actually sign up on time than those who dilly dally around and may or may not sign up.
Some observations:
Northnovas and Elite Ferret was both in their rooms but Lord Winter was out stalking.
It might be as w&f suggested but not necessarily a pro-town role.
We have 3-4 mafia with a "Godfather" included.
there were 3 kills, two by identified beings: a red skinned humanoid and a dark being with fangs and a leopard skin loin cloth; both with some supernatural powers.
The first kill is weird. The lightning striking glass turning it to sand. This is kinda backwards. Is it a clue?
Should we assume we are in Japan (the futon reference in OP) and the creatures are Japanese mythology?
I am thinking 3 kills a night performed by mafia is a bit much. We could face a serial killer or something similar.

Lots of clues and murder "markers" in the write-up, but little to tie them together to make a cohesive narrative. Too early, I guess.
The first murderer had no discernable shape at all - just dark clouds, drumbeats, and lightning bolts.
The second murderer (red-skinned guy) with a book and a (brush? Paintbrush? Calligraphy brush? It made 'marks' in the book), as though he'd found EliteFerret's life-page and wrote in a death order.
The third murderer finally gets physical, creaking floorboards and assuming a fearsome shape, carrying a bag.
All three victims die of lack of breathing (OK, I guess we all will do that when the time comes: stop breathing, duh) but the suffocation/strangulation, melted face meme might point to something.
That's all I've got so far.

I think you're referring to Curio.
Anyway, Kukri, IIRC, has never been mafia, so we unfortunately have nothing to base it off of. His style as townie, I think, is to analyze the writeups more than the average person and go after the lurkers. I don't really think Kukri doing this is too out of the ordinary for him.
Not sure where I'm going with this... :juggle2:

I must say though, that trying to work out who or what is actually causing each murder is, from my perspective, a little pointless - yes, we can try and work out how many more killers we have to depose of, but beyond that they tell us nothing that can be of any use in the process of finding those targets. If they did, then mafia games probably would be over within a couple of minutes of the first night phase being over.

Emperor Makaikhaan convened the castle servants and guards in the morning. Disturbing events had taken place during the night; Lord Winter had been found dead in a hall, while EliteFerret and Northnovas were found deceased in their respective rooms.
Makaikhaan informed the castle that they were to determine who was the spirit in disguise, while he moderated. After a day of discussion, there was finally someone to be lynched; Ibn-Khaldun was selected to be killed. Ibn-Khaldun was presented to the Emperor, his wrists bound and forced to kneel. Makaikhaan was handed a sword by a nearby servant.
"Ibn-Khaldun, I hereby sentence you to your death!" Makaikhaan boomed. With one quick, downward swing, he brought the sword down upon Ibn-Khaldun's head, severing it quickly and cleanly. "Clean this up!" he ordered. And with that, Makaikhaan turned on a heel and headed back to his bed chamber for the night.

Rythmic rested peacefully in his room, finally achieving a decent nights sleep. Good sleep was something in short supply these days, so his resting mind was grateful to have some reboot time. As Rythmic's mind was off in dream land, the door to his room slowly, silently, slid open. A fierce, red-skinned humanoid stepped into the room. It gave a glance down to the sleeping Rythmic, something almost akin to pity in its stare. It help up a book it held in its left hand, and flipped to an open page. With its right hand, it grabbed a brush from its belt. The being sat down in a cross-legged posture, putting the book in front of it. It pulled a bottle of ink with its left hand from its belt, and dipped the brush into it. Carefully, it marked the page with brush strokes that resembled artwork, work that seemed beyond the scope of even the greatest calligrapher. Upon finishing, the being picked up its supplies, capping the ink, and placing it and the brush back into its belt. Without a word to the sleeping Rythmic, it left and slid the door back in place. Rythmic never woke up from his sleep, finishing his dreams in a better place...
The night was calm. Crickets chirped, owls hooted in the distance, and a gentle breeze caused a slight sway in the trees. However, for Fahad I, the night was anything but peaceful. His mental state could be described as being somewhere between frantic and completely unhinged. He was packing his meager possessions. No amount of rice or silver payed to him could keep him in this place. With strange deaths, unexplainable by any logical means, and priests collapsing whilst giving grave warnings to be ready to fight the supernatural, there was no way Fahad I was going to risk his life by continuing his service here. With a small nacksap containing no more than a set of clothes and a couple day's bread, Fahad I set off down the hall, until he reached a corner which led to the door. Fahad I stopped, and peaked around to locate the guard. Curiously, there was no guard to be found. Shrugging, Fahad I set off once again, breaking into a spring once he reached the door. He was free! He was but 10 meters outside when suddenly the calmness of the night was broken with gusto. A torrential wind blew, snapping tree limbs, spooking animals of all kinds, and knocking Fahad I to the ground. When Fahad I had climbed to his feet, he jumped roughly one meter in the air, his heart practically leaping into his throat. A black skinned being was standing in front of him, seeming to have appeared out of nowhere. Fangs grinned at Fahad I, the being picked him up by his shirt. Fahad I was nearly passed out from shock, but was certainly not in a condition to resist his captor. It lifted Fahad I up further with one hand, while holding a large bag in the other. It threw Fahad I into the bag, then held the end together. With unnatural force, all air in the bag flooded out of it, sealing Fahad I inside. He struggled, but no oxygen could reach his lungs, and as he struggled more, he only suffocated faster. The black skinned being grinned as the struggling shape of Fahad I attempted to escape, then promptly and suddenly lay limp. 30 seconds later, sure its target was finished, the being dumped Fahad I out onto the ground, then joyfully strolled back into the grounds. As it left Fahad I's body outside, a slight tittering could be heard in the distance amongst the renewed chirps and hoots.

He hasn't posted yet, and although I can vote for just about anyone else with the current information I have, I prefer being consistent. If new information comes up that points in a much more definitive direction, my vote will change, or if Little Grizzly posts to defend himself. Otherwise, it stands (and there's a little bit of fear about him after reading through all of Midgard II...)

Maybe consider sharing that "current information" you have with someone you trust; or if that's no one, post it here.
Just a thought.
That's the thing, I have no information, thus my current information is naturally zip...wish it was more but it isn't. ~;p
But may I ask whom I can trust? What your asking me to do is reveal sensitive information to another player that may or may not be mafia. Sounds like suicide to me...

Um, no, the point I was trying to make, obviously ineffectively, is that I in fact have nothing. I don't see how having nothing means I have something and am therefore keeping it from the town, seems to be rather poor logic if you ask me.
As for releasing information to another player, I was simply trying to convey that I am in no mood to kill myself stupidly by trusting another person if and when I do come across information, however I may come across it. Since the dead cannot post, if I do know ANYTHING at all, and I go and tell someone by PM, I may be talking to a mafia. If I am close, then I am dead, and no one else gets to know what I had come across, which seems selfish to me. I am more then willing to share within the thread however, but again, I simply have nothing of any value right now, just like the rest of us. I'll post to defend myself and to contribute to any discussion, but I don't want to post pointlessly.

Hm, okay, is this an attempt for me to reveal information, information I don't have? If so, then your at a dead end, literally. I won't cave for something like that.
However, if you think I am mafia, then I can understand your vote.
First, I seem to be the only one here who has posted at length and can therefore be analyzed. Thus, there is greater evidence towards me then any other. Simple enough reasoning, correct?
Second, I seem to be hard to understand. I thought any information that would pertain to the identities of any mafia would in fact be sensitive. I think now I could have used better phrasing, for clarification.

I understand what you mean, but if you know the identification of the Mafia then you should reveal this to the town, or at least find a reason to legitimately vote for them.
I don't, but if I did then I would. I only picked LG because of reading past games, and the fact that he hasn't posted (yeah, I know many people haven't posted, but I don't even remember him voting ><).
And I think Ichi either has it out for me or he likes Spam :clown:. Do you have anything to actually contribute Ichi? Does anyone else want to jump in on the conversation as well while were at it?

Are you sure Ichigo is normally like this GH? I'm sure he used to be, but he's been less on the spam waggon in recent mafia games.
Don't really know how, probably due to it being first round when nobody really looks at what anybody else has posted, but I missed the Ibn bandwagon. Although the entire thing looks suspicious, the one thing I noticed most was this from Quintus.J.Cicero:
Vote: Ibn-Khaldun
Reason: self-preservationThe question for me is whether self-preservation is something a true townie would choose. Is this because of his inexperience in the field of mafia, or does he have a special anti-town role we don't know about? Whatever it is, it will be interesting to see his response.

I thought you were the third, GH being the second, W&Fs being the first? :inquisitive:
I don't think Ichigo is mafia, he does usually act a bit unusual. But this is a bit more than previous games, which makes me wonder if he has a role of some sort.
Of the three vote leaders I think CA is the most suspicious - mainly because I think YLAC is a novice who made some poorly worded comments and Ichigo is just being (a slightly exaggerated) Ichigo. And the whole denial of being third on the bandwagon as he voted for someone because they were third on a bandwagon.

The castle's inhabitants met once again, to find the culprits of yet more deaths. Curiously, a few of the inhabitants seemed in a surprisingly jovial mood, throwing jokes and jabs to one another. One of these, Ichigo, seemed to garner the most attention from these exchanges. After a count was taken, Ichigo's name announced as the one that had gotten the most votes. "Ichigo," Makaikhaan announced. "You have been chosen to be killed. Do you have anything to say to protest this?"
"Nope."
"Nothing?"
"Nope, in fact, I'm rather annoyed at this whole 'living' thing, so it would actually rather please me to be killed." Makaikhaan raised an eyebrow at the strange person.
"Very well." Ichigo's hands were bound, and he kneeled before the lord. Makaikhaan raised the execution sword, and severed Ichigo's head with one swing.

Who is this "he" person? This is a fairly far fetched excuse - if you were second on the bandwagon, then why were you going on about being third? Unless you have the capacity to locate who is going to vote who before they do it, then this excuse is most certainly false.
I am 100% sure no one will believe it, but I just didn't see W&F's vote. That's my only excuse and I will understand if I am lynched tomorrow.
Oh and the HE I was referring to was Ibn, who was third on the bandwagon:

Warmaster Horus settled into his room for the night, following the rather strange execution during the day, content to gather his thoughts and ponder the situation for a few hours. He jammed a log upon the door frame, just in case, to help prevent it from sliding open should a "visitor" come. As he sat down, his back to a wall, the door began rattling. Someone, or something, was attempting to open its way in. Warmaster Horus scrambled backwards into the far corner, as the rattling became more intense. Then, curiously, it stopped. Warmaster Horus breathed a sigh of relief. As he started to compose himself and stand up from his corner, the door suddenly blew open, as a tsuname-like wind destroyed the entire frame holding it together. A black bipedal being with large fangs strolled into the gap, grinning at Warmaster Horus, who was once more cowering in the corner. It held a large bag in its right hand. It held the bag up, apparently empty. Out of the emptiness a large gust came, flowing under Warmaster Horus, lifting him high towards the ceiling. The being walked under Warmaster Horus, and held the bag under him. With no warning, the wind stopped, and Warmaster Horus fell back down, into the bag. The being closed the bag up instantly, trapping Warmaster Horus inside. The air inside the bag evacuated, causing a sensation akin to a vacuum. Warmaster Horus struggled, but could find no oxygen to cure the burning in his lungs. The being apparently felt no desire to prolong the struggle. It raised a clawed hand, curling it into a fist, and gave a single, almighty punch to Warmaster Horus' form. Instantly, the struggling stopped. The being opened the bag, and dumped him out. Seeing no reason to linger, the strange creature left the room, with Warmaster Horus' body in plain sight through the now vacant door frame.
Aries was sitting outside his room for the night. Thus far, in his logic, people in their room kept dying, so he would wait outside, where he could see any potential killer coming. True to his logic, as he swivled his head from side to side, he spotted, down the hall, what looked like some kind of red-skinned human. The strange character turned towards Aries. Aries, sensing danger, immediately stood up and ran the opposite direction. He sprinted down corridor after corridor, ignoring fatigue as adrenaline pumped through his body. In the back of his mind, he wondered where the strange humanoid was. It then occured to him: it had clearly stopped following him at some point. Aries slowed his pace down to a jog, then a walk. He turned his head once more on a swivel, down every hallway in the vicinity. Nothing. Finally attaining a sence of security and peace of mind, Aries began a jaunt back to his room. As he turned at the first t-section. quite unexpectedly, Aries dropped like a stone. His heart had suddenly stopped, ceasing all flow of oxygen to the rest of his body. Aries did not even get a chance for a last thought to comprehend his doom...
YourLordandConqueror was in his room preparing for the night, getting everything he needed until morning. He stopped on a dime whilst folding a piece of cloth. His previously focused gaze went slack. He stood up, and walked over to where his closet stood. He reached into a bottom corner, and grabbed a long dagger he kept for defense. Quite clearly, loudly, and suddenly, a cackle escaped his throat. He raised the dagger up to his throat, still roaring with laughter, and dragged the sharp blade across his jugular. Though he collaped to the ground in a heap, his body instinctively clinging to his last ounces of life has he bled to death, a softer tittering still rendered itself through the room....

Ok ill admit my reasoning is sketchy at best but now i have started a job my only real chance to vote is just after the voting has started, so now i have to come up with my own conclusions and see who is acting different to usual, whereas before i could wait for a bit for some of the more experienced mafia players to do some anylisis, at least this way i guess im not getting led by the mafia, im going to try and be an independent thinker this game, as one thing i noticed whilst mafia in midgard was that it was easier to lead the town to its destruction with everyone following the same path...
I am waiting glyphz, Sigurd, Omanes, and Crazed Rabbit, for you to post what I asked :wink:
I know this a great leap of faith, but don't worry, I am at least being selective in whom I am PMing. Yes, this will most likely be a novice mistake, but I don't dare trust revealing myself publicly yet by announcing my suspicions, and I am sure that my careless words have put me under Mafia microscope.
I am the investigator for this game, the Grand Shinobi. I can detect other players guilt, baring that of the Godfather, who will appear innocent to me. Also, any players who have killed another player, regardless of which side they work for, will appear guilty as well.
I have investigated Factionheir, last night. From what I can tell, either there is a roleblocker, and I am dead this night phase or the next, or Factionheir is guilty. I would place my money more on the roleblocker, and I am guessing it is pro-mafia, which would explain the lack of a kill. I suspect either LittleGrizzly or Factionheir of being the roleblocker. I am hope to be able to continue my investigations for at least 2 more nights, then I should be certain.
I ask that you post this if I die.

:inquisitive:
Several points - I was a town power role in Midgard and was still thinking discreet behind the scenes action could help. I was obviously wrong and so I vowed not to repeat that mistake.
But since I don't have such a role (it seems YLAC had it this game, unfortunately, since he's now dead) I'm not acting the same. :shrug:
As for YourLordandConqueror, I can confirm that I received a PM from him before he died that was the same as glyphz's.
But his death is most disturbing. Is there something in this game that can make us kill ourselves?
Right now I am torn between FactionHeir as YLAC suggested or CountArach. I am suspicious of CA because in Prohibition Mafia, he made a somewhat similar slip-up and got lynched, and he turned out to be mafia.
But evidence from the detective is heavier, for now, especially considering he is now dead. Though it doesn't seem conclusive.
Anyway,

So 'red-skin' and 'bag man' have killed each of three nights, while 'invisible weather control guy' only killed twice. Missed PM's or lack of coordination?
This leads me to jump to the conclusion that two of the bad guys knew each other from the start, while it has taken a few rl days for the 3rd guy ("weatherman") to find his friends - or they to find him. Maybe weatherman is a serial killer. At any rate, we seem to be facing a united front now.
As to the victims: their death descriptions give me few clues as to their roles - they all sound like plain vanilla townies. They fear, they attempt escape, they fail. As do the lynchees. No special actions are described.
So, preliminary conclusions: bad guys can investigate, but have failed to find power-town roles (detective, doctor, etc) so far, and have settled on killing off townies one-by-one, hoping to get lucky.
Detective(s) and doctor(s) have evaded the mafia net so far, and are hopefully investigating and protecting the right folks.
-noticed after I wrote, but before I submitted -
Uuuuu, a beyond the grave PM quote, accusing FactionHeir and/or LG. Hmmm. Interesting. Legal, by the rules?
Not beyond the grave, I sent it long before I was declared dead. I asked that in my death, they post it. If anyone wants more information on the subject as to what happened, ask Sigurd :bow:
Edit: I am sure this is within the rules, since he asked that we not quote HIS pm's and such, and I sent it before I was dead.

I think Sigurd and/or glyphz and/or Crazed Rabbit need looking at. I'm also going to probably make myself look extremely guilty in the process because I was among those people in receiving a PM from YLC, but regardless.
I somehow think that YLC's death was administered by one of the people he sent a PM to. Last phase I suppose he did make it slightly noticeable that he had a role, but the PM was definite proof to a mafioso who should be murdered.
YLC kind of spoilt the possibility to catch somebody out by stating who he sent a PM to publicly. In private he gave a very very slight hint that he'd PMed somebody else, but this hint wasn't enough for anybody to be able to tell for certain. If this had been the case, the mafioso among them probably would not have revealed their PM - in this case, they were forced to by their name appearing.
Anyhow, for now I'll just place a bit of pressure on YLC's other possibly guilty person

YLAC's death was indeed untimely. The info he sent us doesn't say much and another night's investigation would have cleared up a few things. I suspect I was the only one getting a bit more?
Factionheir was indeed investigated as his investigator has been martyred and thereby sealed his testimony with blood.

What I have to say is what I posted at the start of the game (or rather late in the game). I didn't even realize the game started because I got no PM. Usually I tend to be a lot less active in games where the host does not give townies a townie PM.
That said, you don't have to believe me, but I got a lot of other work to do currently so you'll see me lurking likely till later in the game when I start analyzing things. Right now there isn't much to go by nor does there seem to be any organized townie effort as in Midgard.

edit: I can see why others could be suspicious of us 4. To confide in a complete stranger is risky. (Never met, YLaC before that).
To confide in 4? That quadruples the chances, that 1 could, not necessarily must, be mafia. More so now, that YLaC did die less than a day after sending 'em.
Rereading the narration, I'm not sure that we've encountered YLaC's killer before. Definitely not the red humanoid, or the bag-man, could the lightning guy (the strange magic) but I'm not very sure. Definitely not spittin' dwar---- nevermind.

Fair enough on the suspicious behaviour reasoning, the problem is when i get on i only have my own conclusions to work on, and i think being mafia in midgard has made me look differently at how mafia operate or how they might operate in the thread, that being said according to mafia stratergy last time there's no reason for the mafia to kill me as i keep heat of other suspects, so its a two way street...

After a moderate amount of discussion regarding the night's deaths, the servants had found their choice, whom they presented to Makaikhaan. FactionHeir, some alleged, had ties to the recently deceased YourLordandConqueror, an accusation he could not shake. Makaikhaan, who appeared quite tired to all present, did not even question the man sentenced to death, instead grabbing a sword from a guard, and decaptitating FactionHeir before he could even be tied or forced into a kneeling position. Makaikhaan didn't even look to those who were kneeled before him when he turned on a heel, tossing the sword back to the servant.

FactionHeir - 7 (Little Grizzly, Chaotix27, Crazed Rabbit, Caius, woad&fangs, CountArach, Glyphz)

Quintus.JC. was just finishing clearing his room of possessions. He was convinced that the end of the world was nigh, and had correspondingly done his best to abandon every bit of material wealth he had acquired, sans a single meager outfit, giving it all to a nearby shelter for vagabonds. He sincerely hoped that this gesture of good will would engender favour to him by the spirits. He was squatted against the corner of his now barren room, literally counting the seconds of his existence under his breath to nobody in particular. As if to answer his prayers for an end, the door to his room slid open, a red-skinned humanoid, armed with nothing but a book and brush, stepped calmly into the room. Quintus' eyes opened wide, his mouth open with awe.
"You came!" he proclaimed. "You came! I knew it, I knew it, we are being judged! Please, I have been good, I have been good! Look, I gave away all my earthly possessions! I have done my best to be good to my fellow man! What are you wri-?" Quintus' rant was cut short as he keeled over in an instant. The humanoid was snapping its book closed and set the brush back into its belt, a slight shake to its head as it walked out the door.
Woad&Fangs, in contrast, had spent much of the last few days raiding the possessions of his now deceased servant comrades. His stash of fabrics, pottery, oils, and perfumes was now second only to the emperor's in quantity. As he finished taking inventory of every last item, ensuring that nothing was misplaced, he was veritably sucker-punched as the door to his room blew open behind him, a strong gust knocking him into a small bronze statue. He staggered to his feet, backing away from the monster which stood where his door used to be. A creatures stood there, only descernable by the gleaming fangs in its mouth and the bag it held on its shoulder. The creature held the bag up to face Woad&Fangs, and another powerful gust came from the bag, blowing Woad&Fangs through his wall into the courtyard, rolling his body until he hit yet another statue. The statue cracked, and a mute, golden face fell from a neck, onto the face of the unconcious Woad&Fangs. The creature let loose another gale from the bag, which took Woad&Fangs all the way into the forest, rolling the limp body into numerous trees, limbs, and prickly bushes. The body finally came to a stop when it hit a tree squarely, an audible crack echoing from the collision of a skull against bark. The creature peered out into the forest from the courtyard. Apparently satiated, it walked back to the room. Not wanting to be discourteous, a strong gust once more howled, sending the horde of posessions out the hole in the wall of Woad&Fangs' room, out into the forest where the owner now lay.

After re-reading YLC's PM again, I don't really think it would be too worthwhile looking too deeply into LittleGrizzly. He did seem a little defensive, but he is right in that nobody accused him of being guilty at any point. If he is the role blocker who YLC thinks he is, then it would be a bad idea to try and force it out of him.
Right now I'm not too sure that I see much to go on really. Yes, there's a lot of inactive people, but I'm sure the mafia will be more talkative, probably only coming out with a load of distractions or jumping on a few bandwaggons here and there, out of fear of the WoG.
I henceforth am going to:
Vote: Chaotix27
After having a look his posts do seem to fit my above description of how I expect the mafia to be behaving. I know this isn't particularly reliable "evidence" so to say, particularly due to his inexperience, but I'd like to see his defence all the same.
ElD hasn't posted except to join - so he's WoG bait. I think, unless he pops up to vote in this round, we should just ignore him. If he does show up to vote, he'd be a very good suspect.
El Diablo should already have been WoGed. He has not voted yet and since this is round 4, he qualified the 3 votes in a row WoG last round.
Could it be makaikhaan has followed my lead in not WoGing mafia?
Same with Ignoramus, they have 3 no votes each and should have been WoGed last round or found dead on the morning of round 4.
As to the information I am witholding. Yes I actively engaged YLAC in PM discussion as soon as he wrote me. He did give us little info and what he asked to be publicly revealed has already been revealed. He only mentioned FactionHeir, but I wanted to know which night he did this investigation and what the PM actually said. I also asked who he investigated the other night(s).
While investigating FactionHeir, the return message can be interpreted in a few ways. Either FactionHeir had some powers, or YLAC was blocked. I had hopes that the same blocker blocked the third killer on night two, but unfortunately it was the same night FactionHeir was investigated.
I also know that the night YLAC died was the night he intended to investigate CountArach.
Most of that information is correct Sigurd, minus the fact you forgot to mention I investigated EF on the first night when he died. Also, the way the investigation was described, as I told you Sigurd, was very mafia like in how I was blocked. Everything else is correct so far...

Im just a regular townie, i never claimed the ability to role block and as far as i now there isn't any evidence of me role blocking, i mean ylac being suspicious of my actions in the thread is no more reason to vote for me than your own opinion of my actions in the thread, its slightly annoying that ylac's opinion of my in thread actions is being thought of as proof whereas its no more than someones opinion (someone who read midgard 2 thread and made a comment on it about me back when he was alive)
ok here comes the complicated bit..... who to vote... too many inactive people.... ill throw it on my old teamate
Vote Sarathos
Talk scum!
I suspected you, because on night 2, the night before I said anything at all, I was roleblocked. This means they became suspicious of me on day one, which means I would have had to do something on day one. Since I only voted for you, I thought that they were suspicious of me because of that.

I'm going to vote: Count Arach
Because he made a somewhat similar sort of slip up in Prohibition mafia and got lynched, and he was mafia there.
I made a slip-up in the first round of Midgard II and I was Odin :tongue:
Vote: LittleGrizzly
We might as well go with the first part of YLC's PM while we have nothing else to go on.

The servants and guards convened once more to attempt to decipher who was the malevolent spirit in disguise. Makaikhaan waited for several hours before hearing any sound aside from the crickets outside. "Well, does nobody have anything to say? Does nobody have suspicions, or something to contribute?!" A few meager hands went up. "Well, get at it!" The few who dared to raise their hands voiced out a few votes of suspicion towards whose whom they thought was the murdering spirits. However, the discussion frequently died out, leaving yet more cricket chirps ringing through the main chamber. Beyond a window, the sun was beginning to set, and a borderline furious Makaikhaan stood up, fire in his eys. "Is this it? Do you NOT care for your own lives? Damn it!" Makaikhaan grabbed a sword from a nearby servant. He stomped up to a random servant, Ignoramus, and decapitated him on the spot with one swing. "Do you have a choice?! IS THERE SOMEONE WHO YOU THINK IS GUILTY!?" Hands quickly shot out in every direction, a panicked look upon each servant and guard's face. Makaikhaan counted the hands, and marched straight up to the receipient of the highest percentage. LittleGrizzly's face contorted into panick, and he scrambled backwards away from the angry lord.
However, Makaikhaan was having none of it. He leaped forward, bringing the sword down much like a point downwards, stabbing LittleGrizzly in the leg. LittleGrizzly howled in pain, curling on the floor. Makaikhaan slashed at the screaming servant, over and over again, at least 23 times, until the body was unrecognizably chopped into several pieces. Makaikhaan turned his head towards the shocked faces of all the rest in the room. "Get your :daisy: into gear!" he snarled, before tossing the sword back to a servant, and storming out of the room.

Any reason for the number 23 ? :beam:
Also, may I again point a finger to El Diablo. He has now 4 no-votes in a row and are double eligible for a WoG. Yet he lives another day. Why?

I don't seems to understand the killing pattern of the mafia. They have killed a few inexperienced players including me. If I were the mafia I would of surely went for the more experienced players like Sigurd or GH. This kind of puzzels me.
Sorry about missing the previous vote, won't miss it this day phase I promise :bow:

Anelious Phyros knelt before a small shrine which had been just recently erected. He lit a stick of incense, and placed it before a tiny, bronze statue, the most he could afford. Ever since the priest had warned of spirit invasions, he had been lighting incense and offering it to the gods every night. He was feeling a bit confident, having been spared by the wrathful spirits. A calming wisp of smoke floated upwards from the stick, giving a somewhat surreal feeling for Anelious Phyros. However, even his dulled state, he was aware of the door behind him sliding open. A strong gust followed, tossing the shrine, as well as Anelious Phyros, to the other side of the room. Anelious Phyros groggily attempted to get to his feet, but he was unable to even get to his feet before a black-skinned, beastly creature had him by his throat. Anelious Phyros tried kicking and struggling, but his crushed airway quickly put a stop to it. He let his body go limp, hoping to play possum. However, the creature only tightened its grip on its throat, until only three seconds later, the clawed hand completey sliced through the throat, effectively rending Anelious Phyros' head from his body, though it still clung by a few strong strands, resulting in a bloddy mess about the corner of the room and the desecrated shrine. The creatured licked the blood from his hands, turning back out the door of its newest victim.
Caius sat in the corner of his room, studying the pages of a book very intently. He was determined to become a more literate person, and hopefully become a merchant or diplomat someday. He wouldn't let anything interfere with his ambiton, not even a belligerant spirit. He flipped a page, and dipped his brush into an ink bottle. Over on the other side of the room, the door calmly slid open, a red humanoid entering in. Caius looked up, his eyes widening. He noticed a book and brush in the being's left and right hands respectively.
"Can you help me learn?" Caius queried in an awed voice. He recognized the being was not normal,a spirit likely. How could there be no better teacher? The being did not respond. Instead, it continued a steady pace towards Caius. As it reached him, the being sat down cross legged, directly in front of Caius. The being had an interested look upon its face, almost quizzical, as it studied the man in front of it. After a minute or two, the being set its own book down upon the floor, and brushed a few strokes on the first page. Caius' face betrayed his confusion. "Well? Are you tea-". Suddenly, Caius' eyes bulged, his throat gasped, and he collapsed to his right, knocking over his bottle of ink in the process. The being stood up, closed its book, and stared with an almost pitying look on its face at the deceased student. Nonetheless, it still left the room, book and brush in hand, leaving another body in its proverbial wake.
El Diablo lay in his bead, in a state of near comatose. His chest just barely rose with each breath, and he did not roll or even toss in his slumber. A heavy mist hung in the air, an almost palpable presence hung in the room, though clearly there was nobody else there. Clearly and instantly, El Diablo's eyes snapped open. He attempted to get out of his bed, though it was clearly a struggle. Joints snapped, and muscles stretched, as though they hadn't been used in days. El Diablo staggered around the room, clearly looking for something. He stumbled from the room, down the hall way. His eyes blankly scanned the hall, until they stopped at an instant. A sword hung from a hanging in an opulent room just off the end of the hallway. El Diablo straggled to the room until he reached the blade. He reached out a hand out and gripped the hilt with his right hand. He extended his arm forwards pointing the sword at himself. Gripping with his 2nd hand, he rammed the sword straight throug his own bowels, then ripped the sword left, f urther opening up his midsection. And as suddenly as he had woken up, El Diablo collapsed to the floor, blood and entrails spilling from his bowels. In the dead quiet, a shor tittering could be heard for just a few seconds.

I'm feeling lazy - what I posted before applies now, so I see no reason why not to post it again:
Right now I'm not too sure that I see much to go on really. Yes, there's a lot of inactive people, but I'm sure the mafia will be more talkative, probably only coming out with a load of distractions or jumping on a few bandwaggons here and there, out of fear of the WoG.
I henceforth am going to:
Vote: Chaotix27
After having a look his posts do seem to fit my above description of how I expect the mafia to be behaving. I know this isn't particularly reliable "evidence" so to say, particularly due to his inexperience, but I'd like to see his defence all the same.
I honestly don't see what I've done to make me look like a mafioso. Maybe I haven't been contributing as much as you guys have? I'm sorry, I'll try to help out more. I really haven't had a whole lot of time on my hands, so for each vote I just looked at what you guys said and picked the one that seemed most convincing to me. :shrug:

vote: Sarathos
He hasn't voted for three rounds in a row, but still hasn't been WoG'd. He posted to join, and posted once again to lynch Ibn in the first round. And we've had three more votes since then.
CR
Yeah, Sarathos and El Diablo seem pretty suspicious, as they really haven't posted this whole time.
FactionHeir
09-13-2008, 17:45
I think it would be a good idea to lynch anyone who should have been WoGed but hasn't.
El Diablo hasn't posted even once to vote. Vote: El Diablo

I don't know about you, but that makes him a bit less suspicious to me.
CR
I don't think we should vote Sarathos, he probably will get WoGed at the end of day phase... if he isn't, we lynch him the next day (We should have enough number of people left right?)
Anyhoo, why would the mist guy target ED? Maybe because the Mist thought ED was mafia? The mist guy hasn't killed every round right? So I think the mist guy is the vig... maybe?
Vote: CR
Bad vibes... That's right, thats my only reason... :sweatdrop:

I shift behavior a lot.
Vote: Abstain
Too much to do today and the wireless connection is being a pain in the butt. Will try to get on and analyze later.
Ever since Sarathos last voted (Rnd1), there has been 3 voting phases. Shouldn't he have been WoG-ed then the following (this) night phase? Or am i missing something?
Vote: Sarathos for now
El Diablo's dead.
I don't know about you, but that makes him a bit less suspicious to me.
CR
Oh. Well, that shows how much I've been paying attention. :laugh4:
Unvote: El Diablo, Vote: Sarathos. Lynch the other, less dead lurker, then!
Sarathos never seems to post, maybe he just likes signing up to games? :shrug:
Anyhoo he rarely participates so if there are still killings I'd bet he was innocent.

Okay,
unvote: Sarathos
vote: KukriKhan
He's been strangely silent since the third day. Some posting, but no analysis - just a quick abstain vote and some perfunctory posts of tallys and lists of who's alive. Not like his usual self.

Unvote: Sarathos ; Vote: Count Arach
'Where art thou?'
Tally:
Sarathos: 1
Chaotix: 1

Unvote: Sarathos, then.
I have no idea who to vote for now. :clown:
Abstain from vote for now.

That has to be the weirdest mafia game I have been in.
I was not allowed to post nor reply to pm's about my no posting.
Pretty happy to last four rounds really :laugh4:
It makes no difference though as I have no idea who is mafia...
