The Story:
..........December, 2029.
..........The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has been infiltrated by a dedicated gang of international criminals bent on taking the grandest prize of them all; the largest repository of gold in the United States. This elite group has been preparing for two decades to pull off this heist, taking down smaller targets here and there over the years, slowly gaining the technical knowledge and experience necessary, as well as the finances to prepare the perfect getaway.
..........A senior diplomat from Beijing travelled to the United States to discuss making a large deposit in the most secure bank in the world. Somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, this diplomat met his untimely end. However, the meeting went on as scheduled. The Gang of 13 had the resources to hire the most experienced plastic surgeon in the world, and pay him quite handsomely for his services. The face was altered, and the fingerprints were removed from the man from Beijing and placed on someone else. Finally, a single eye was removed and replaced with another. The end result was someone who looked exactly like the Chinese diplomat, had the same fingerprints, and the same retina.
..........On the inside, they had a man. Someone who had served his country for decades, and was given the same lousy pay and terrible pension, and was harassed one too many times by government bureaucrats. He wanted out of his boring, tedious life... and he wanted the retirement he earned and deserved. When budget cuts eliminated his pension, that was the final straw. He knew all the security systems, because he was a master at catching criminals. He was no mere security guard, he was the facility's top counter-infiltrations expert.
..........There was the matter of transportation. Gold is very heavy, and it would not be worth the time and investment to get away with merely a truckload or two of solid gold. This was an expensive, massive operation, and the equipment alone was worth more than one truck's worth of gold. They needed a ship. That's where the Somali pirates came in.
..........An oil tanker was hijacked off of the coast of Africa, but they again had a man on the inside. Once the pirates had taken over the oil tanker, the agent killed all the pirates with some toxic darts under the cover of night. Before the ransom demands were issued, the vessel was already back on course for New York. No one even knew the vessel had been hijacked.
..........The oil itself was sold to the very same customers, and the gang of 13 enjoyed the rewards that came with that kind of money. But the oil was worth only several hundred million dollars. A tanker filled with gold bullion would be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. As it happens, they already had several buyers for the gold. They would be travelling to Egypt, where the gold would be loaded on freight trains and sent to the various African totalitarian regimes who would buy the gold at a reduced price, giving them an instant profit, and relieving the gang of 13 of the burden of carrying and storing all that gold, in exchange for a deposit in several bank accounts. Some in the Cayman Islands, some in Switzerland, some in Africa.
..........China and Russia were also interested in the gold, and some of it was sent via freight train across the Middle East. More currency was deposited into the bank accounts of the gang of 13, and yet more of the weight was lifted from their shoulders. Finally, the last of the gold would remain on the tanker, which was headed for Dubai. The tanker itself and the gold would be sold to a consortium of Arab shieks at a bargain, and the Bank of Dubai would always have money waiting for the gang of 13, accumulating interest.
..........The end result was a master plan which finally would give the gang of 13 nearly unlimited money, in secured bank accounts all across the world, and the protection of the Russian and Chinese governments. There would never be any extrication back to the United States, there would never be any trial, or any jail time. The bottom line is, everyone in the gang of 13 would be filthy rich and their identities would be altered surgically so that they could never be traced back to this heist.
..........The only tricky part was getting the gold from the Reserve to the tanker. For that, a forged acquisitions request was sent and processed by the head of security at the Federal Reserve. The paperwork was massive and authentic looking, and the man in charge of verifying the authentication was the most trusted man inside the vault, the master of counter-infiltration.
..........Several armoured vehicles would make trips to the Reserve, over the span of one week. Because of the security systems, decades went by without a single bar of gold being misplaced. Because of budget cutbacks, there were only a handful of people watching the vault at any given time. Because the withdrawl had all the necessary paperwork and the approval of the man in charge of security, none of the guards noticed anything suspicious. It was just another routine transaction. Gold bars went in and out of the vault all the time, but only when it was authorized.
..........The plan was risky, but thanks to bloated bureaucracy and rank and file complacency, the transaction was nearly automatic. With the arrival of the Chinese diplomat, all of the guards were informed that a large transaction was taking place. None of them questioned the removal of the gold, and several of them even assisted in loading the armoured trucks. Whom else could be trusted to transport such precious material? The Chinese diplomat passed the palm reader and the retinal scan, and gained access to the vault.
..........Distracted by the negotiations of this faux emissary, and due to the hush-hush nature of operations, most of the actual guards were not informed of the precise nature of the supposed deal, and when the head of security and other bureaucrats were engaged in closed door talks, everything seemed to be in order. All the security systems in the world could not prevent someone with the proper paperwork and security clearances from removing gold from the vault.
..........So much money spent on the security systems themselves, and not enough was spent of the people working inside, whose loyalty could be bought for an enormously high price...
________________________________
..........The transaction was successful, and the gold bullion was loaded onto the stolen oil tanker by armoured truck. The Chinese diplomat shook hands with the head of vault security, and all the other bureaucrats assigned to the visit. 500 billion dollars in gold bullion had been stolen right in front of everyone's eyes, in spite of layers of countermeasures and the finest security systems in the world. Just another simple transaction, done by the most secure Banking system in the world.
..........But not everyone in charge of oversight was blind to what was going on. In fact, these events were being monitored by the FBI. But no one in the department knew about the stolen oil tanker, or where the gold was heading once it left the Reserve, or if the transaction was legitimate or not until after the final night.
A Federal Agent was dispatched as soon as the paperwork was revealed to be fraudulent.
________________________________
..........Among the Gang itself, all was not well... years of working together had strained their relations, and some former members of their group had been taken down by Federal Agents. Some had turned on them and tried to blackmail them before the operation took place, threatened to blow the cover off of their scheme unless they got a bigger cut of the gold. They were promptly shot, and their bodies were never found.
..........But everyone in the group was certain they had a traitor among them, someone so obsessed with greed that they would not be satisfied with the billions they were promised. On the eve of their getaway, one of their ranks was murdered. Suspicions ran rampant.
..........On this tanker filled with enough gold to buy and sell entire nations, the remaining 13 members of this group convened to decide who among them was the traitor... and who among them might have been an informant to the FBI... perhaps, even an FBI agent undercover. They watched each other very carefully. Any FBI agent would not simply kill them, he would be waiting for the appropriate moment to contact headquarters, gathering information every night. But if cornered, the FBI agent could use deadly force to defend himself.
________________________________
..........The Gang of 13 met in the daytime, and decided amongst themselves who had betrayed them. That person was determined by a vote, and the unlucky winner was shot to death on the spot. Everyone brought an automatic weapon with them for safety, and if someone tried to shoot their weapon without the Gang's approval, they would be gunned down as well.
..........At night, each person locked themselves inside their cabin, making night murders difficult. The traitor waited for the appropriate moment to make his move. If he could survive long enough, he would not be so outnumbered, and he could gun down the others.
..........Over the cold waters of the Atlantic, on this stolen tanker filled with gold, the Gang of 13 would be competing for their very lives, and their vast fortune. They were all about to experience... the Golden Rule.
Rules and Information:
No quoting the host's private messages. You can quote one another and communicate outside this thread. Suicide is not allowed, and everyone must post and vote every day phase.
YOU MUST VOTE. ABSTAINS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED. VOTE: NO LYNCH IS ACCEPTABLE.
This is not your typical mafia game, and night phases will be uneventful for the most part. The traitor or traitors will have difficulty killing anyone. Simply make the correct guess and you are home free. As the game progresses however, it will become more dangerous.
Night actions must be sent in during the day phase. Extensions may be granted, but for the most part, the night phase itself will be skipped and the results will simply be posted.

Greetings all.
Sorry for the delay. As you know I've been working very hard to annihilate some scum in the Family Guy game. We shall see how that goes.
RULES additions and modifications.
You cannot quote the host's private messages. At all.
You can claim a role, but you cannot quote me.
The dead cannot talk or communicate with anyone about this game.
____________________________
Voting for the "lynch" will happen as scheduled, and I need everyone with night actions to get them to me by the end of each day phase.
You have 3 days per day phase.
This game is not your typical mafia game. I highly encourage everyone to vote and discuss. Clues will be scarce, as I usually give you oodles of clues. You must solve this mystery if you are serious about winning, or your chances will be minimized.
Rules may be added later at my discretion. Read every post I make, ok? Pms going out.
EDIT: If you are done voting and want the day phase to end earlier than scheduled, just add that to your vote. As such:
Vote: Askthepizzaguy, end Day early.
Or at any time post:
End Day early.
Edit Edit:
Do not edit posts with your vote in them.

Roles are being sent out now. Give me a few minutes.
Please follow my rules exactly for this game. Certain types of infractions will result in expulsion, unfortunately. Others will simply get a warning.
Askthepizzaguy
12-17-2008, 01:42
All Roles have been sent out. Remember to read all of the rules, in the opening post and every post I make, please. You have a gang of 14 now, due to unexpected popularity of the game.
Day One:
CLASSIFIED FBI LOG
Agent 824, Headquarters.
The Gang of 14 was en route to Africa, the tanker loaded up with more gold that any one person could count. Each of the crew members were certain to live a life of luxury, security, and prosperity from now on.
They were certain by now that the FBI had found out about them. It was also possible that they were being watched, and that their position was being reported back to headquarters by an agent. But they could not be sure.
They did not know who they could trust, and they were certain they had a traitor among them. Was it the munitions expert, or their "diplomat"? Could it be the security systems analyst, or was it their driver?
They would lock themselves in their rooms at night, and vote on who the traitor was during the daytime. Everyone was armed with a sub-machine gun.
They met for the first time since the massive heist. What follows is a transcript of their communications and activities.

Interesting, ATPG said night phrases may be uneventful at first, so perhaps the mafia get more contagious in the later stages? Does anyone claim any of these roles? we have 3 days of discussion, so we should start delving into this a bit, better than mindless voting at least.

I am the Mastermind so technically, I set up the whole group :2thumbsup:
Anyways,
This game is not your typical mafia game. I highly encourage everyone to vote and discuss. Clues will be scarce, as I usually give you oodles of clues. You must solve this mystery if you are serious about winning, or your chances will be minimized.
I don't know that we can count on any sort of obvious clues, if you could call Pizzas clues at all obvious.
Third off, I don't trust no Mastermind, especially one who don't want to keep company with the devil.

I'm the false diplomat.
I always say this; in the early stages of the game there is hardly any one to suspect against, so i'll Vote: Abstain
I was the third gunman on the grassy...er Tanker Hi-jacker reporting for duty, Sir.
....does this make me a Somali pirate....??
that sounds supicious, tanker hijacker, perhaps gold hijacker no? :inquisitive:

Plus, maybe I'm thinking that he's thinking that he don't need us around anymore. So everywhere we walk we're going to be falling through trapdoors or be attacked by fembots. And then there's that cat he's always petting... Dang thing makes me sneeze.
You didn't say you have the explosives :no:

Ahem.
I make things go boom.
*drums fingers* Not much to say, not much going on...Ex-Marine here though.
*begins idly cleaning M590* I do hope people will start speaking up soon, it's getting rather boring around here, and were not getting anywhere. So, how does the CO of this operation handle ties?
Well i haven't voted yet for those precised reasons, and i'd like a lead before i vote, which is differcult to get presently lets look through the roles....
explosives expert - agent material? i doubt it FBI and spies would be more tactful IMO
ex SWAT - special weapons and tactics, hmmmm, that sounds like a spy to me (though i'm not accusing yet, just trying to piece it together)
false diplomat - so-so, doubt it but still a tad suspicious
forgery expert - in my eyes a forgery expert doesn't make FBI material
Armoured truck driver - i imagine if any an accomplish to the head guy, though i think it's probably an innocent role
Tanker Hi-Jacker - The most suspicion IMHO, He would work in the same way as a gold hi jacker, there was ment to be a greedy guy on board, thats putting FBI out of the equation
communications expert - again quite suspicious, a spy could communicate with the FBI in various ways
computer engineer - have his uses, though i doubt he's agent material
security guard - security for the gang or for the bank? if for the gang then he's probably innocent
Plastic surgeon - again, can't see mafia here, just a feeling, cosmetics hardly makes for a traitorous killer
accountant - this guy could easily get his hands on the money, maybe not the main culprit but still along the lines of a traitor
foreign liason - could be crafty, but probably good
mastermind - i would say a mastermind is the gang leader, kind of, in such a way i would think there innocent
ex-marine - sounds to insignificant to be dangerous, not suspicious yet....
Please bare in mind i only considered the roles, not the players, i don't want to accuse anyone
out of them the most guilty i think are:
Ex SWAT
Tanker Hi-Jacker
Communications expert
Accountant
would anyone agree that these four sound more shifty?
Seeing as the accountant and communications expert haven't come forward, from the players who haven't claimed a role, we can piece together who they are, and if they don't reveal who they are, then we should lynch them i think, though you all have your say if you disagree
woad&fangs
12-18-2008, 00:52
Foreign Liason.
Also, remember that this game was originally designed for 13 players. That means 1 role had to of been come up with at the last second. This role is probably blander than the original 13 and is most likely innocent.
edit: ex-marine is most likely the additional role. So YLC is probably innocent.

I would vote for Aries just be all spiteful and stuff, but I pretty much just got him lynched in Fillet Royale, unless Reenk Roink saves him. So... I'll let him off easy for these first couple'a rounds.
Vote: Beefy
What's with the name change on you two? It could be a secret code... :clown:
I saw Aries changed his name (So he did change before me.) And I went.. "Wow cool! You can change names? Then I shall change mine to 187Beefyz so it looks like theres 187 of me... They shall fear me rawl!!!" Then I found out that I cannot change it back to my original name... So im stuck with this for now..
I am the Communication expert. My job is to hide somewhere, and report to you guys if there is anything suspicious coming in your way. If you seen "Bank Job" im that guy who hides on top of the roof.

Well, if you wanted to vote for the accountant, Aries, then you can vote for me. Because that's who I am.
However, I believe that voting solely based on the character roles is unreliable- if ATPG based his traitor and government agent upon the fake roles that they had, it would indeed be far too easy to find the two.
Also- with me in the mix this leaves one person without a role! Are you sure you copied all of them, Aries? If not, they we may have one of our traitors pretending to be a different role.
EDIT: Oh, I saw your edit- nix on that last point, there.

No, there are fourteen roles there.....so, cover roles is the key word of the day....:juggle2:
We need to think on which role's are likely to be Mafia......but ATPG is random and I think it may take a while to find out who.....(as we have no clues, apart from are roles...:shrug:)
im aware assuming a role is bad isnt reliable, though its far more reliable than meatballing, anything is more reliable than that, i'll stick with reenk roink then, the security guard until he speak, hes the only one who hasnt, if he does though i may change my mind

His a forum spammer, who can be quite good with analysis and taking leading ship as he have sharp observation. When he dies, he often attempts to come back as zombies
As for lynching by the role, I think its not that bad idea, as we are pretty much blind on round one and we won't feel as bad if we lynch someone important.
I would make the mastermind the mafia but ATPG done those tricks before in Futurama. I doubt he will do it again.

I don't know... He might do it again just to throw everyone off, because no one would expect him to repeat himself. Oh, the wine that sits before me.
The only idea I have is that he probably wouldn't pick 'Khaan, because he might feel that was too obvious of a mafia choice. But that's just a hunch, and might be completely wrong.
Then again, he might have picked all the roles at random...

Any reason to jump on me ED, instead of Ares? Honestly, ATPG, if memory serves, only ever lynches one person, and one person only, in a case of having a tie of more 2 or more players. It is random, but we won't risk an "early mafia victory" by tieing it up and getting discussion going, which, if memory serves again, will be what wins this one - ATPG is not handing out clues in this one, he said so himself, any clue he gives will be very imbedded, esoteric, and rare, if not all three.
So instead of the day ending early and therefore stifling discussion -
Unvote: GeneralHankerchief

It isn't scummy changing my vote because he turned up, because it shows he isn't lurking by talking on the thread, and your role sounds shifty, sorry if it's a lame excuse
Furthermore, i would of thought ATPG would lynch no one in the case of a tie, as most hosts do, so i'm not sure about that reasoning, unless i missed a rule.
Finally FoS: El Diablo
for doing the exact same thing as what got me into trouble on fillet royale, self-preservation doesn't work i should know, i urge everyone to vote for him :smash: your case of "trying to save people" doesn't cut it with me, as the exterior motive is clearly to save yourself

As long as there is a tie for now, we can at least wait until people come up with more clues...
for now it would just be a random lynch which is a 2-14 chance of nailing a Mafia(never good odds:no:) but is better then zero, I will admit but for now I see no reason to help lynch anyone..........:smash::smash:
Well he equally said i was suspicious, when i believe he's suspicious himself, considering the majority have meatballed, i assumed my vote would have gone done smoothly with at least a bit of logic behind it

I don't think lynching no one is the common rule.
I've seen Pizza do double lynches and coin flips. Anyway, the host hasn't told us what will happen in the case of a tie to my recollection. It might end up with all the front runners getting lynched, which could be hazardous to our numbers. It could also end up in a run off. Maybe no one will get lynched, but I doubt it. And unless we know for sure, putting three people up front is potentially reckless.
Were you mafia in Fillet Royal?
Nope, but according to andres i reeked of scum using that tactic

Self preservation is a perfectly valid reason, especially early in the game. But El Diablo is normally a very astute player, Lynching in the first round was pretty common for him because of his name (The Devil...), but his behaviour so far doesn't fit in his normal pattern. So I'll:

Day One Results
The sun set on the tanker, halfway across the Atlantic ocean.
The 14 had gathered together for the first time. Everyone was a little uneasy, but they all had their weapons down. El Diablo seemed particularly nervous with every vote that was read aloud. He knew that his days were numbered.
Before the speaker was even done, he quickly stood up and lifted his weapon, and began firing bullets. However, the bullets missed everyone else, because as soon as he stood up and pulled the trigger, he was dead. His fingers released the trigger and his body hit the ground with a sickening thud, and blood flowed quietly all over the deck.
El Diablo's face was riddled with bullets, as was his chest. His lifeless eyes peered back at the gang, as if trying to convey some message.
The rest of the gang sat silently. They were used to seeing former comrades turn their back on them, and they were used to gunning them down. El Diablo's death was no different. He may have hijacked the tanker for them, but he was ready to kill them all. No one grieved for him, at least not openly. This was a dangerous game, and sometimes winning was more important than feeling remorse.
They went back to their quarters that night, without incident. Each of them locked themselves into their separate cabins, bolted and barred the doors, and slept with one eye open. They all clutched their weapons, preparing for any possible intrusion.
Begin Night One.
The night seemed to last forever. All that could be heard was the rocking of the ship against the motion of the ocean, and even this noise was quiet. In the middle of the ocean, it was very calm. You could hear a pin drop, or listen to the rats breathing. The engine room continued to hum, but by now everyone had gotten used to that sound and could no longer hear it.
Cold sweat accumulated on the backs of many, but in the morning, they were all alive, tired, and cranky.
Players: 13 remaining.

I think the lack of murder is part of the game:
This is not your typical mafia game, and night phases will be uneventful for the most part. The traitor or traitors will have difficulty killing anyone. Simply make the correct guess and you are home free. As the game progresses however, it will become more dangerous.
Mmm... No murder on night 1, is there someone among us thats really unactive recently?

Chest could refer to money chest, accountant, though thats really vague, and i doubt it (though the clues were ment to be vague)
edit: @ GH, perhaps mafia can recruit people or something, and until they recruit someone they can't get kills, maybe there will be a kill tonight?

It's possible, but ATPG would have to put a cap or some kind of restrictions on recruitment or otherwise the game could get unbalanced quickly.
Anyway, methinks we are once again delving into the realm of speculation.

El Diablo's face was riddled with bullets, as was his chest. His lifeless eyes peered back at the gang, as if trying to convey some message.
What message was he trying to communicate? Face and chest? Maybe he was the secret lover of the plastic surgeon.

How did you get foreign liaison out of that?
And according to the write up El Diablo was the Tanker Hijacker.
He may have hijacked the tanker for them, but he was ready to kill them all.
Look kid, if you're going to go and pull at a bunch of straws, at least get a little information straight first. Otherwise you might pull the short one.
One of the traditional focuses of the FBI is fraud, which forgery is a part of. AKA, fraudulent checks and crap. AKA, Catch Me if You Can for all yous guys that don't "keep up" with things, or however you put(s)ed it. I mean, they friggin' got Al Capon on tax evasion!
And a foreign liaison ain't some Greek hooker.

GeneralHankerchief
12-19-2008, 23:07
I interpreted it as a random vote plus the voicing of his desire to see blood. As I believe the subsequent discussion confirmed.
As for why I voted, that was to see a reaction. I'm still deciding on what to make of it.
I see. That definitely makes more sense than you just blatantly voting for self-preservation. I would expect nothing less from a mafia vet. :bow:

Now as I have no other leads, I'll leave myself abstained for now.
It also says in the write up that these are practically random guesses when choosing who to lynch, so it looks like were going to be stripped of leads throughout

Theres both sides of argument in regards of first round lynch
Benefit of round 1 lynch would be actually having a go at the mafia. It may be 1/14 or what ever but we still have a chance to get it right. Plus we get a better chance with medic revival and detective investigation. Plus it creates discussion more I guess.
As for demerits, one less townie.
I personally dislike lynching round 1, but some says it gives advantage to the towns .

With all this 'sad nights' maybe we should cease lynching anyone until the mafia actually makes a kill, I mean if no one is dying at the hands of mafia or lynches then there's no way for the town to lose. But obviously we don't want this game to drag on forever.

I have a feeling that Pizzaguy would give the traitors the ability to kill if we tried that strategy.
Also, I'll be gone most of today and tomorrow so don't be surprised if I don't respond to questions. Since I have to get a vote in I'll vote:TevashSzat because he is the mastermind and masterminds always try to off their underlings to get a bigger slice of the pie.(yes, horrible reasoning, but I don't have much to go off of right now.)
People I'm leaning towards being innocent...
YLC- I think the ex-marine role was the additional role and is therefor likely innocent(unless the mafia's cover role was assigned at random, in which case are discussion for the last page or two has been mostly useless)
Shlin- He's roleplaying. Roleplaying a violent exswatman is likely to raise a few eyebrows. not something that most mafioso would want to do.

I have a feeling that ATPG won't just let everyone live because then the game will literally drag on forever. Odds are that he'll just lynch everyone that is tied or, more likely, choose a random person to lynch

Wrong twice over, my friend. :yes: Firstly, I did vote last round, for Ares. Secondly, there is good discussion and bad discussion. Bad discussion, such as when we're trying to determine the mafia based on role names alone, not only distracts the town but is also good foil for a mafioso trying to blend in. Again, we could talk about this forever and still not get anywhere, but you would still look good because, hey, you're helping discussion while in reality just leading the town in circles.
I'd prefer it if we focused on thread behavior, such as the current trend towards figuring out what shlin is playing at. But I don't think we'll have to worry about that if you get lynched.

12-21-2008, 19:37

Yoyoma1910
12-21-2008, 20:41
I have nothing strong.
But advocating that we look at roles to determine possible suspects, then stating that your role is the least suspicious, seems a bit scummy to me.
Especially claiming that a forgery expert would not be FBI material.
Interesting, ATPG said night phrases may be uneventful at first, so perhaps the mafia get more contagious in the later stages? Does anyone claim any of these roles? we have 3 days of discussion, so we should start delving into this a bit, better than mindless voting at least.
Well i haven't voted yet for those precised reasons, and i'd like a lead before i vote, which is differcult to get presently lets look through the roles....
explosives expert - agent material? i doubt it FBI and spies would be more tactful IMO
ex SWAT - special weapons and tactics, hmmmm, that sounds like a spy to me (though i'm not accusing yet, just trying to piece it together)
false diplomat - so-so, doubt it but still a tad suspicious
forgery expert - in my eyes a forgery expert doesn't make FBI material
Armoured truck driver - i imagine if any an accomplish to the head guy, though i think it's probably an innocent role
Tanker Hi-Jacker - The most suspicion IMHO, He would work in the same way as a gold hi jacker, there was ment to be a greedy guy on board, thats putting FBI out of the equation
communications expert - again quite suspicious, a spy could communicate with the FBI in various ways
computer engineer - have his uses, though i doubt he's agent material
security guard - security for the gang or for the bank? if for the gang then he's probably innocent
Plastic surgeon - again, can't see mafia here, just a feeling, cosmetics hardly makes for a traitorous killer
accountant - this guy could easily get his hands on the money, maybe not the main culprit but still along the lines of a traitor
foreign liason - could be crafty, but probably good
mastermind - i would say a mastermind is the gang leader, kind of, in such a way i would think there innocent
ex-marine - sounds to insignificant to be dangerous, not suspicious yet....
Please bare in mind i only considered the roles, not the players, i don't want to accuse anyone
out of them the most guilty i think are:
Ex SWAT
Tanker Hi-Jacker
Communications expert
Accountant
would anyone agree that these four sound more shifty?
Seeing as the accountant and communications expert haven't come forward, from the players who haven't claimed a role, we can piece together who they are, and if they don't reveal who they are, then we should lynch them i think, though you all have your say if you disagree
Eh? He said that he was a forgery expert but considers himself not FBI material? That would be very suspicious.
IF the statement was not written by Ares, I would totally go behind you. However, because of this, I don;t think you should vote him on that sole basis. (If it was by anyone else who claimed that I would totally sneak upon them in the night like a silent vigilante and gut them in their sleep :clown:)

How does that make sense at all? Think with your brain, not your bullets, moron! Ares looks likes he trying to throw suspicion of himself without directly stating "I'm innocent". I'll say it before, I'll say it again, roles don't mean squat in this unless something new comes up. Right now, we should go with posting behavior, nothing more, until more information crops up.
So am going to agree with Yoyoma on this one, Ares is standing out a bit more then everyone else.

(Sorry if my previous post was unclear, I was in a rush)

I'm sorry, but what is that again? I don't think Ares is that simple at all, least not that simple. Why so willing to cover for the man using such "simple" logic?

I'm not saying I know he is guilty, or that it is even a strong lead.
Aries can play however he wants, but I'm not going to not vote for someone just because they always have a style of play that makes them suspicious.
Ignorance is never a plea. The idea that someone is innocent because they wouldn't know what they are saying is a fallacy. He has the same access to information as everyone else, as far as I know.

You're putting words in my mouth.
A) It has nothing to do with your job, it's how you present it to us.
B) I did notice it earlier, and I discussed it in previous posts. Look at #158.
C) Again, I don't trust people who play ignorant. I've seen enough guilty people try to dumb themselves down to look less suspicious.
Look, you asked everyone to disclose their roles, then listed your own as one of the least likely to be guilty. You don't think that's at least a bit funny?
I repeat, I don't care what your job is, it's the fact that you A) Were the first to try and bring it as a way of vetting suspects, and then B) try to use your own role as a shield.

Neither party looks guiltier than the other, or anyone else in fact.
I'd hate to be the one that have to lynch either of them, so I won't. Vote stays (abstain).

I need a clear winner to proceed. Your vote remaining the same means I still need a tiebreaker.

Apologies, QJC, you werent in the tally as an abstain.
That makes 3 for abstain. There is no tie.

Day Two Results
CLASSIFIED FBI LOG
Agent 824, Headquarters
The tanker continued on it's journey.
The 13 remaining sat with their guns pointing down, and they read off the votes. White_Eyes and 777Ares777 were the only ones with more than one vote, and more people decided not to vote. As a result, they concluded that no one was going to die today. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to relax.
We will continue the surveillance. Everyone has revealed who they are, and so working out who the traitor is should be relatively simple.
Begin Night Two.
The traitor among them had once again decided not to execute anyone. This night passed uneventfully.
Players: 13 remaining.

I have a gripe - technically, "abstain" means you have no preference as to who is lynched, and is more to indicate your continued particpation. There has always been a difference between that and "no lynch".
Anyways, Vote: White Eyes

12-22-2008, 16:03
Understood, GH.
I had to decide whether we were going to lynch White_Eyes or Ares, and there was no clear winner, and we were past the deadline. I was either going to randomize it, double lynch, or no lynch. However, more of you voted to abstain than to lynch a particular person, so in fairness this round, no one should have been lynched.
I'm sorry, but the responsibility rests on town to come up with a clear winner. And I do agree with you, GH. From now on, Vote: Abstain is not allowed. You must vote, and if you don't want a lynch, please vote: No lynch.
Rule change:
Vote: Abstain is prohibited as it is not technically a vote.
Vote: No lynch is acceptable however.
You must vote.
GH seems to be talking and voting, thats good. So this round I'm gonna vote...QJC, for his cowardly dislike for killing people because there is a small chance they could be the killer.
Vote: Quintus JC
Let there be DEATHS! :devilish:

Logics Shlin. :thumbsdown:
We can't lose unless the traitor kills, and the traitor cannot win unless he kills. Why should we help him win?
If we vote for people to lynch then we have a small chance of killing the traitor, true. But I think the possibility of lynching a innocent townie is far higher than the former. Therefore the safest, although not the most exciting way is to avoid any lynches altogether until the traitor decides to show-up and actually do something for a change.
Maybe you have some other motive for my lynch other then seeing some blood?
Pretending to be a diplomat has weakened your resolve my friend, where is the good old berserker who hungered for blood before?
Anyways, if you are such a firm believer in "no deaths", at least vote no lynch... :beam:

I encourage people, if they are going to be wishy-washy, to at least vote: No lynch so I know they've put in their two cents.
Indeed, kids these days, no respect for the good old ways.
Back in the day, there were no "No Lynches"! We had to vote even if we have lynch our mothers! We don't have these wishy washy people preaching peace.. nope... not back then...
*sigh* Kids these days...

I'm not voting no lynch yet because I know in this game Day and Night phrase is combined and therefore longer than normal. Also I have lots of time on my hands since the holidays, so I'll sure to throw in my vote at whoever when I feel its the right time to do so.

You're awfully talkative, but seem to be hiding your motives and suspicions exceedingly closely.

Well this is different. Most games usually prohibit no lynch votes because it is so easy to avoid lynching (and makes it much harder for the Mafia). It takes a nice combination of abstains and maybe ties to get the result of a no lynch and so that route is much more satisfying. :yes:
Still, as a big proponent of the no lynch movement, I will use it. But not just yet, seireikhaan seems eager for a lynch, and that makes me eager for his... :inquisitive:

I suppose you have an alternative method of catching the traitor?:inquisitive:

Yeah Seriekhann seems especially eagar to see me die. Why does no one listen to me! The mafia cannot win unless he start killing, we are only helping him if we start killing each other.

So you really think the traitor will not start killing if we do not lynch anyone? That's like playing prevent defense, it only prevents the town from winning.
Additionally, only through voting can we ferret out the mafia. Best example, methinks, is Prometheus. Myself, Reenk, and Pizzaguy, when it came down to actually having to lodge votes, voted very similarly. This game is following a similar pattern in that there are no early kills. Is the mafia(traitor) bribing others to join him?
Regardless, if we are to win, we MUST vote. If we do not, discussion is meaningless, as people can state whatever they want with near impunity. Make them back up their talk with conviction.

Sorry but I wasn't part of Prometheus and have little idea of what had happen in that game, but I'll take a peek now.

Discussion! Like right now, you are making yourself suspicious to me just by talking. And Quintus.JC is making himself suspicious to you just by talking.
Mafia are stupid; they will make blatant mistakes. The only question is if they will be caught...

That was one game, in which you and Pizzaguy always found yourselves in deep trouble EVERY round. :laugh4:
Seamus and I in Mafia V never voted together except once. Proletariat and I in Rise of the Mob never voted together at all.
