View Full Version : Council Of The Magi - Small Mafia - ON HOLD
https://i386.photobucket.com/albums/oo306/icenibird/CotM_BannerSignUp.png
The COUNCIL OF THE MAGI is at hand.
Held only once every ten years the Council convenes to decide which of their number should be elevated to the status of Magus Supremo - Master of all Magic for the decade to come.
Only the first thirteen Magi to solve the riddles and enter the fabled Tower of Sorcery are able to form the Council; and with representatives present from the most powerful and ancient orders of Magic, the Council is always politically charged, very competitive and – according to legend – has even proved to be fatal for some of it’s less successful participants. At that time however, the Dark Sorcerors known as Magi Mafiosi still stalked the land ~ and magic was in constant use as a tool of war.
Thankfully those wild old days are long since passed : Over the last hundred years or so, the incidents closest to actual conflict have been marked by the occasional singed beard, or sleet-filled robe, as the perpetual squabble between the Order of The Unbridled Flame and the Order of The Icy Tempest continues with its own - barely sufferable - predictability…
…until now.
Despite the belief of the Council; that The Magi Mafiosi had been banished unto the eternal void for an infinity of harmlessness and boredom:- One of their infernal number escaped before the mass exile and; remaining in hiding for more than a century and slowly gaining in power, now seeks to return the shadowy order to its former malificent potency.
The Magus Mafioso has chosen the imminent COUNCIL OF THE MAGI to exact terrible revenge and seize the power required to release their evil brethren.
RULES:
COUNCIL OF THE MAGI is a mafia game for 13 players: Split into Day and Night phases as usual. Each day phase should last at least 24 hours - potentially more at weekends, but certainly no more than 48 hours. Each night phase shall last between 12 and 24 hours, or until I have all Night orders in and processed. Timings are sure to change and I shall state the deadline for posting votes and orders more specifically in the thread as we proceed.
Except for screen grabs, Players may post anything they like in the thread EXCEPT THE EXPLICIT IDENTITY OF YOUR ORDER OF MAGIC! For reasons that shall become clear in the thread; ANY MAGE WHO PUBLICLY REVEALS THEIR ORDER OF MAGIC MAY BE DISMISSED FROM THE COUNCIL WITHOUT WARNING!
During each Day phase the Council must vote for whichever Mage they wish to send into the void until the Magus Mafioso is correctly exiled. You may vote: Abstain, or vote: 'No Lynch', but one way or another, one of the Mages present will be exiled even in the event of a tie.
All the usual voting protocols apply: ie. Votes must be formatted in bold like so:
vote: boudica
If you wish to change your vote, you must
unvote: boudica, vote:Askthepizzaguy
Official votes and vote changes should not appear in posts which have been edited - although the last judgement on whether a vote is counted or not is mine. Don't mess with the tally etc.
Players who have been sent UNTO THE VOID! (lynched) or night-killed MAY NOT play any further part in the game without contacting me first. That means: NO posting in the thread and NO discussing the game privately with active/exiled/dead players unless you use me as a go-between.
Players may be kicked from the game at the hosts discretion. but if this happens it will probably mean they have blatantly ignored some of the rules.
This may sound hypocritical due to my variable online time - especially at weekends, but... PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CANNOT COMMIT AT LEAST A DAILY CHECK OF THE THREAD.
ADDITIONAL RULES will be revealed in due course. Any further questions - please PM me, or ask below. Game will commence once we have 13 confirmed starters.
One last thing - Players wishing to sign up who have been sporting those fancy Signature banners for the last week or two shall be given first refusal on a place, whether they sign up after 13 others or not. Those players are: 777Ares777, Reenk Roink, Sigurd, The Flax

After extensive traveling through the lands of Gaymeruhm and triumphantly passing the tests at the tower gates; thirteen chosen Magi wait expectantly in the Great Hall, for the current MAGUS SUPREMO; Boudica The n00bZoR!, to arrive and bring the Council into session.
From beneath the cowls of identical robes the Magi cast each other furtive glances. It is a given that all who have passed into the Tower of Sorcery are gifted Wizards and so; whimsical precedent dictates that the new Magus Supremo should be elected only by demonstration of their arts of persuasion, and that all Magi should remain anonymous throughout the Council, to prevent any one particular Order from gaining an advantage over the others: Breaking of this rule is grounds for dismissal from the Council!
To facilitate communication while the Council is in session, a minion of The Magus Supremo scuttles down the line of 13 Magi - from one shrouded figure to the next - tapping each on the chest with a small glowing wand. As the twinkling lights settle above each Mages' heart, they first assume the shape of letters, and then spectrally shuffle to form the code names by which each Mage shall be known for the duration of the Council, and hence transcribed unto legend. The code names are as follows:
Shinseikhaan
Greyblades
ReenkRoink
Captain Blackadder
pevergreen
Psychonaut
Quintus JC
A Very Super Market
The Flax
Yoyoma1910
777Ares777
Lord Winter
Sigurd
Once all 13 Magi have been so adorned, the chief administrator of the Tower of Sorcery coughs nervously, and speaks thusly:
"Great and powerful Magi - We, your humble servants, welcome you to the Tower of Sorcery and bid you a pleasant stay. While the Magus Supremo commits the rituals which purge her of any further responsibility for the sorcerous welfare of the Lands of Gaymeruhm, we should be pleased to bid you pass through the double doors to your left where you will find our comfortable and spacious Conference Centre Cocktail Lounge. A complimentary glass of Bucks Fizz and voucher for a 10-inch plate for the Eat-As-Much-As-You-Like Cold Buffet await each of you!
Now if I might beg your attention for a further moment or two, in order to highlight some of the safety procedures that should be adhered to at all times duri.... oh!...
....they've gone."
The double doors to the Tower of Sorcery Conference Centre Cocktail Lounge swing back and forth as the last flapping robe signals the end of the stampede of the Magi.
The chief administrator shrugs and claps for a minion,
"Well - I guess they'll all get to know each other while they wait, now go and put a copy of the fire drill procedure in each of the rooms... on the pillows with the mints."
You may begin posting in the thread, but there is no reason to vote, as the act of unspeakable and violent evil which will be done in order to make voting necessary has actually not happened... yet.
*A noble man looks at his fellow Council assured that he would get through this alive, with such clear louts & apprentices parading around the room.
Captain Blackadder

Magus Supremo I must thank you for you hospitallity you have truely made a paradise here. I must congratulate you on that spell that made the garden outisde you must tell it to me some time. I feel like this place is indeed a great sanctury from the hustle and bustle of being a magi
Greyblades

I hope we can finish this soon, I have better things to do than watch acolytes trade words over a counsle table.
Day One
The cold buffet and contents of the bar are quickly polished off by the thirteen Magi - who then brush off the crumbs and shiftily eye one anothers' identically-cowled Council Robes.
The gentle muzak which had been piped into the Tower of Sorcery Conference Centre Cocktail Lounge is suddenly interrupted by the amplified sound of two sharp notes on a xylophone, and the voice of the chief administrator crackles over the tannoy:
"Esteemed Magi! May I present to you the incumbent MAGUS SUPREMO! .....Boudica the N00bz0R!
The double doors swing open and - flanked by a gaggle of minions bearing the various Artifacts of Office (The Parchment of Word, The Mystical Spreadsheet and the most ineffective but widely lauded wand ever to be constructed: The Power Point) - Boudica enters the room. She walks slowly, her gnarled hands both clutch her staff for support, and coughs phlegm-ily a few times before addressing the Magi.
"Sorry I'm late folks... ahchhemmm - It is with great pleasure that I call this Council into Session. These past ten years have been frankly a pai... WAIT! I SENSE....."
SHAZZZAMMMMM!
The conference centre is thrown in to a blackness tinged with an electric surge of raw magic. Flashes of strobing purple light add suitably malevolent silhouettes, as those present bang into each other and attempt to cast protective circles about them.
From the Parchment of Word a cone of light is projected - within it's confines whirl the tortured figures of dark and fearsome Magi, numbering in their thousands. With one voice they speak:
"FOOLS! Our time of incarceration is at an end! We shall crush you and all your kind before taking back what is rightfully ours!"
The figure of Boudica is suddenly glimpsed, grasping the hallowed Mystical Spreadsheet from its ceremonial cushion as minions of the Tower of Sorcery are flung into the air and enveloped in searing purple flame. Boudica appears to wrestle with the magical item and unseen powers battle for ascendency until suddenly the darkness is lifted.
Boudica lies prone; the Mystical Spreadsheet under her. The bodies of dead and dying minions lie all about the Conference Centre, smoke rising from their charred husks. Belatedly the sprinkler system kicks in and soaks the thirteen Magi, before Boudica feebly raises a hand and with a click of her liver-spotted fingers shuts it off.
Clutching her staff, the MAGUS SUPREMO rises shakily to her feet. The doors burst open and the chief administrator rushes in "Oh Gods what has happened!" he cries and runs to where the Artifacts of Office have been scattered. With a lightening flash Boudica send forth a beam of energy which pins the administrator to the wall.
"What have you done?!" she shrieks
"Mistress! No!" the administrator clasps at his throat
"I have always suspected you! I have always known the Magi Mafiosi were not all accounted for! Now you shall pay!"
"Mistress I beg you..I...I"
But the strangled pleading of the chief administrator is cut off as his body is flung into the air and then hurled to the floor where the Parchment of Word lies. For an instant, the cone of whirling evil Magi is visible - before the chief administrators body appears to be cast into it...
"MWAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!" the malificent voices cry as one! "Feed us more of these! - He is not our Kind!"
The thirteen Magi attempt to cover their ears as the chief administrator is ripped to shreds by the swirling forms, his screams fading to nothing as the cone of light shrinks and then disappears.
Boudica turns to face the astonished assembled.
"Oh bugger" she says "I always had my suspicions about that obsequious little runt, but it appears he was innocent after all"
She raises her finger and waves it slowly at the thirteen Magi.
"One of you! One of YOU! ....kaff! ... must be the Magus Mafioso for whom we have searched for these last hundred years.... Which of you is it?!"
All remain silent.
"Well - So be it! My strength allows me only to perform such vigorous action once a day without the fabric of time and space being shredded and the Magi Mafiosi freed! So - as I cannot simply exile you all right now - we shall convene here once again tomorrow and - instead of voting for whom we wish to assume the role of Magus Supremo - we shall decide between us who's turn it is to be cast into the VOID!"
Several of the Magi start forward - protesting at the clear insanity of such a project... but with another wave of her bony claw, and a terrifying glare, The Magus Supremo silences them.
With that, Boudica shuffles from the conference centre and cocktail lounge and the thirteen Magi are left open-mouthed at what they have seen. Nervously they begin to leave for their rooms - briefly consulting the map of the Tower of Sorcery in the foyer and taking their assigned keys from the terrified minion sitting at the desk of reception.
It is Night One. Orders Please - and be quick about it - You have until some time on Monday GMT (roughly 36 hours) to submit them. PM me - Or you can email me at icenibird -AT- googlemail -DOT - com, if you wish. If at any point private chat threads are set up between any of you, I would be most grateful if you would invite me to them. Any questions? PM/email me. That is all.

Night 1 is over - write up will be posted imminently.
Boudica Teh N00bz0R sipped strong, dark, treacly coffee from a small white china cup and idly rolled herself a long tapered cigarillo.
One by one, the thirteen Magi filed in to the Breakfast hall and helped themselves to individual servings of cereal and fruit juice before taking their seats.
"It seems that you have all survived the night" the old crone looked severely at them. "..but one of you is a traitor and our task now shall see whomsoever is chosen: - cast into exile of the VOID.
You may begin your voting and of course - pleading for your miserable lives".
Day 2 begins - It will end in 24 hours (roughly 9 AM GMT Tues.).
EDIT: Day 2 will end in 48 hours from the original post rather than 24 - as it is a bank holiday :) (roughly 9AM GMT Wednesday)

Boudica tapped her fingers on the marble table top and ordered another cafetiere of the gloopy juice she was so fond of. It seemed that some of these Magi showed spirit. She was confident they would soon get to the bottom of this and gave a wry smile at the thought of capturing the last of the Magi Mafiosi.

"I would like to know if Magi 'Khaan could elaborate on his accusation of Psychonaut. Baseless accumusifications are no way to form the basis of a new world order free from the threat of the Magi Mafiosi. What say you 'Khaan? Uh? Uh?"
"Until I am satisfied, I Vote: Shinseikhaan"

I am no conjurer of cheap tricks like those pretend magi - the mafiosi. To accuse me of such is a grave insult, and if it were allowed I would have challenged anyone who dared even insinuate this to a battle of sorcery.
The brass of such an insolent would meet the might of a skilled Dragon killer and surely the next Magus Supremo. Be warned!!

Boudica grows weary of the bickering which has begun since the Magi became more vocal with one another. She sparks up a fat cheroot and claps for the Chief Administrator.
After a pause she remembers that she cast the chief administrator into the VOID - whereapon his was RENT ASSUNDER by the legion of imprisoned Magi Mafiosi, and appoints a particularly slovenly gnollish minion as the new Chief Administrator.
The new Chief Administrator holds the black board while simultaneously exploring his cavernous nostril with several joints of its spatula-like index finger, enabling Boudica to inscribe thusly:

Bound in a cover of Silver Birch and hidden within the lining of your voluminous sleeve is the scroll known as 'Form of a Squirrel'. You may use the scroll during a night phase to investigate one other Mage. If the spell is cast successfully, you will discover all there is to know about the target... although you may also feel compelled to collect nuts and find a safe place to store them.
I didn't want to do that, but you lot forced me to. My only other power is to protect myself, and I shan't be revealing that as of yet.

From my PM not giving roles away.
Should you hear the words, "Spicy" or "Barbecue" used in conversation, you can be fairly sure it is a brother Mage using it.
See my post before the one where I said ares was a druid
Right, this coming from a mage who couldnt even stand the spicy chicken.
Now from 11/04/09, 23:02
You are so right greyblades! I'm hopping on a plane soon and I also miss out on my spicy sunday barbeque.

I'm definitely not lying. And I'd rather not die before getting any results, since I was incapacitated last night.
Lord Winter did tweak my scumdar slightly, but it may just be the way he plays. A Very Super Market made a brief cameo, but again, I've not seen him before so I'm probably wrong. :shrug:

The sun reached its' zenith and Boudica called for more cucumber sandwiches. A minion whispered to her and her face crumpled up like a menacing prune. She banged her staff on the floor three times to grab the attention of those squabbling before her:

The course of the afternoon had seen tempers fraying further and insults hurled as egos clashed, but very little changed since the Mage known as Shinseikhaan had cryptically pointed the finger of suspicion at the one known as Psychonaut.
Talk of secret passwords had reached the lugholes of the Magus Supremo and her wrath was heard by all assembled in the form of an excessive string of expletives hailing from all five corners of the known world.
Finally the time had come to exile a Mage in the hope that the Mafiosi threat would be ended.
Psychonaut fretted and looked most upset as he was led to face Boudica, but - despite the odd sniffle - he maintained some semblance of dignity and delivered an eloquent and skillful verse which pontificated on the illusion of justice in the modern world and lauded the mighty oak as well as several other commonplace flora and fauna. Unfortunately Psychonaut spoke very quietly and by the time the other Magi realised that he had been addressing them, the poem was over and none had heard it.
"So - judged by your contemporaries a Wizard of Evil!" Boudica drew her staff toward her and it glowed fiercely "Speak not! I cast you into exile!"
The Scroll of Word once again opened up its cone of light and the malificent figures of the imprisoned Magi flickered toward the opening to the World of Gaymruhm like so many naughty moths.
Psychonaut gulped and seemed to be trying to pull a soapy sponge from his robe as he was suddenly flung into the air before his portly form hurtled into the cone of light.
"YESSSSS! YESSSSS!" The legion of Mafiosi screetched "GIVE US MORE OF THEESSSSSSE! - SWEET MEATS FOR OUR DOGS!"
Boudica looked through her fingers as the Magi Mafiosi ripped Psychonaut limb from limb - and turned the volume down to prevent the other Magi from having to listen to his cries of agony.
"Well - looks like someone got something wrong, cause we just tossed an innocent Mage to those hounds of hell" Boudica stretched and clicked her back - the day had been ridiculously long and it was time for rest.
"I'll be seeing you all again tomorrow no doubt...sweet dreams...and think on what you have seen. Tomorrow you must choose more wisely"

Don't get me wrong, I like the bloke, but I don't like his new name.
Or are we talking in-game terms?
Night Two is over. Write-up to follow.
Shinseikhaan's eyes flick open - his mind rushing to awareness as the electric crackle in the air alerts him to the presence of another Mage in his quarters. Light pulses from the outstretched palm of a dark figure by the door and Shinseikhaan has time only to open his mouth before the Mage's cry of "Cerebelus ...EXPLODUM!" beats him to the punch.
The spell takes instantaneous effect and there is a brief popping sound followed by a loud squelching splatter as the 'khaans' brains leave his skull at high velocity and hit the walls. Silence descends as a fine red mist settles over the room.
The dark figure by the door trembles with malicious delight and snickers to himself in evil pleasure, before sneaking back out into the corridor.
*************
Next morning:- In the Conference Centre & Cocktail Lounge, Boudica is making up a jug of Bloody Mary; a glass of which she hands to each of the Magi as they arrive.
The seat previously occupied by Shinseikhaan is empty.
"My minions are - as I speak - washing the late 'Shinseikhaans' brains off the walls of his room." Boudica takes a puff from a ceremonial water-pipe. "It appears that the Magus Mafioso is more powerful than I had anticipated. You must choose wisely this day, or I fear very much for our chances of stopping him!"

The day - while passing significantly faster than the previous - had yielded very little in terms of discussion or suspects and as the Sun set; Boudica consulted the tally and found that five of the Magi before her were tieing with one vote apiece. The Magus Supremo wondered if she could try the exile spell on all of them at once, but determined that the risk of the Magi Mafiosi breaking free was too great.
Stumped she eyed the cowled figures of the potential candidates Thermal Mercury, Yoyoma1910, Sigurd, Lord Winter, Greyblades.
"BRING ME THE RHANDOME!" she squawked, and several minions rushed from the room, returning a few moments later straining below a cushion which was topped with a mighty glass orb.
A minion rushed over to Boudica who had been twittering into her journal "Randomly exile Mage unto the VOID" and pointed out that the mage known as Sigurd had signaled a change in his vote.
"Last minute change eh? - that may very well have saved your life"
Boudica consulted the tally. The Mage known as Greyblades now led with two votes.
As her eyes met his, the Mage leapt from his seat and bolted toward the fire exit at the far end of the room.
"Oh a runner eh? Pass me the dratted Power Point would you? Thanks."
Boudica lifted the unwieldy wand and made a stabbing motion in the direction of Greyblades' rapidly retreating form.
The was a swooshing sound and the robed figure was spun over and over - several times smashing his face into the underside of the mezzanine floor and through the hall until he landed in a pile at Boudicas' feet.
Quick as a flash Boudica snared the Mage with the Mystical Spreadsheet and fired up the parchment of Word.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" the Mafiosi screamed; as Greyblades was sent hurling into the cone of purple light
"THIS ONE IS FRESHLY TURNED, BUT HE IS OUR OWN! CURSE YOOOUUUUUU!"
The hellish figures spiralled and looped through the nothingness and Boudica smirked to herself as she derived the true meaning from the Mafiosi's words.
"Time to get busy people. Seems Greyblades there wasn't the mafiosi we were looking for - but it's a good job we found him. The traitor is still in our midst, but surely we have him in our sights now! Be vigilant! Sleep well..and " The ancient crone smacked her prune-like lips "...if you'd care to join me in the Penthouse hot tub - the door will be on the latch!"

Back from holidays.
Interesting.
NIGHT THREE
Reenk Roink sat at his desk and pondered a great many things. The fate of his Order had suffered a blow, but he was confident that the Council was coping admirably well under pressure of the remaining hidden Magus Mafioso. A cough startled him and he grabbed his Cobalt blue staff to face the presence in his room.
"Well well, Ulric Stormcloud - a famous face indeed! Careless of such a high-ranking mage to let himself pass the night unprotected. I have waited too long to let this pass as quickly as it must... but there is really no patient way to expel the brains of such a weakling from his skull."
The Mage ran his fingers along the runes of the scroll before him as Ulric raced across the expansive suite, staff raised in muscular arms above his head.. but too late!
As the dark mage cried out:
"Cerebelus ...EXPLODUM!"
Reenks' Icy staff swung through the air, but missed its' mark - clattering to the floor as his body pitched forward, the grey matter violently spraying from his ears and nose with a ghastly popping-hissing sound.
The Magus Mafioso nodded in satisfaction at his kill and tip-toed across the pools of bloody gore and out into the silent corridor.
All was quiet and he chuckled to himself as he returned to his room; at the ease with which he had dispatched another obstacle from his path. More would die and soon his brethren would be freed.
**************
The following morning Boudica informed the remaining Magi of 'Reenk's' death before settling back with the weekend racing oracles and prepared to decide which dragon to bet on today.
"We had a good result yesterday, but that's no reason for this Council to become complacent" Boudica barked at the Magi while consulting the football fixtures
"Last night was just sloppy play! We can't allow ourselves to take our eyes off the prize - the prize being one dead Mafia - or you'll find me as sick as a parrot!
...Now lets nail us a mafioso! VOTE NOW!"

Oh Greyblades wasnt scum.
Pever your a ****** mage right? Well I got this last night phase but it didnt say to keep it to myself:
A jolt of electric pain lifts you from the expansive mattress in your luxury suite and you hang in tortured paralysis - tongue stretching form your mouth and eyes bulging from their sockets, your lungs are frozen by the grip of fear.
Just at the edge of your vision you glimpse the silhouette of a Magi, standing at the door, idly leaning on the Qorby Patent Robe Press and stroking at his darkly drooping moustaches.
You try to grasp at your staff but know that it is too late. All that once meant everything to you fades away and is replaced by a violent longing. Your brothers! The Magi mafiosi must be freed! - You see it so clearly now! Tears jerk from your throbbing eyes as you silently thank the Magus before you - for showing you the TRUE PATH TO ULTIMATE POWER!!!
You have been converted into the shadowy ranks of the Magi Mafiosi. You victory conditions are now that of the Mafia and you will win if your voting power becomes equal or greater than the power of the council.
You have not managed to identify your assailant ... liberator. They may make contact with you if they wish to - or they may instruct you to perform certain spells at night through me. They may instruct you who to vote for (you may make no independent votes for anyone until instructed) or they may simply kill you - if that is their desire.
Your spark of the Unbridled Flame flickers and dies - leaving your eyes reflecting nothing but the the murky blackness of the VOID, and your ears filled with nothing but the distant haunting cries of your new, imprisoned brethren.
I'm hoping that if the main mafioso gets killed i'll revert to townie and it didnt say anything about helping the mafia so as far as im concerned I'm still townie.

So it is more likely that the whole lynch scene, which shows Greyblades as guilty, was a sham than assuming he might have lied to you? :inquisitive:
Maybe he wasn't scum at the start but the key words to remember in that PM he send you : "You victory conditions are now that of the Mafia and you will win if your voting power becomes equal or greater than the power of the council."
His comment at the end seems odd in light of that sentence. Maybe I missed something, but from that sentence alone, the comment doesn't seem to fit.

We were in contact and we knew we were both innocent, then he got converted (night 1). His voting was under the influence of the mafia, but he didnt know who they were.
Just saying, we didnt get one.

I'm still confused.... :dizzy2:
So, you are trying to make us believe that Greyblades was converted on night 1 to the mafiosi cause and then sending you a pm saying: "I am not really a mafioso - I'll continue as a townie in your little brotherhood. Just don't lynch me". And then you try to make us believe you bought it?
I am sure if that pm is genuine that greyblades were a) playing you (I don't believe it) or b) you are in on it and is converted too or is the original culprit.
I don't believe for a second that the mafiosi did not take greyblades into their midst after a successful conversion.
I therefore conclude that pevergreen is Mafia too.
vote: pevergreen

I have no reason to distrust Greyblades.
As for me being part of it/him being proper mafia, to my understanding they only had power over his vote.
At this point, I don't really care about my fate.

For making too much sense.
I Vote: Sigurd. He was acting logically the other day, and followed all forms of reason. Then, he voted to kill Greyblades. Quite obviously, we must think illogically to lynch the mafia, who are trying to trick us with their sneaky ways.
Right...
First you voted me because I was making sense and then you vote me for not making sense. Do I see a clear pattern of illogical nonsense here?
Did you discuss this with your paradisical friends in a secret corner before voting? I will keep my eye on you and your buddies.
Reenk was obviously a retaliation murder for their lost new friend greyblades. I say their because the PM quoted by pevergreen said "they".
So let's get this straight...
The mafioso half converted greyblades on night 1 - hence no killing.
Then the mafioso converted again on night 2 greyblades for sure - hence no killing.
Then 'khaan dies on night 3 by the hand of greyblades or the original mafioso?
We lynch greyblades on day 3 and Reenk is killed night 4 by the original mafioso.
What did greyblades do on night 3? Kill or being idle?

See last post
Sigurd, I think you have one night too many there. The title of the latest writeup is "Night Three". Apart from that, you may have the gist of it but I'm still not confused about how this whole conversion thing worked. It seemed straightforward enough until pevergreen posted the alleged Greyblades PM.

Shouldnt you not be posting? :laugh4:
Boudica conjured a small yellow face and directed it to bang its head repeatedly against the walls of the Tower of Sorcery's Conference Hall & Cocktail Lounge. :wall:
Day four had come to a close. (write-up to follow)
DAY FOUR
Boudica allowed the small yellow-faced familiar to bash it's head against the wall until - resembling a squashed grapefruit - it slid to the floor and disappeared back into the magical ether.
Confusion had reigned throughout the day. Various Wizards had hurled baseless and inaccurate opinions around all morning and a brief and unsanctioned haunting around lunchtime had appeared to unnerve the Magi who remained so much; that they prefered to sit and stair coldly at one another during the afternoon - instead of discussing things and voting.
Boudica swore quietly to herself and vowed not to think in such long sentences any more. She creaked to her feet and addressed the Council:
"The Mage known as 'pevergreen'! - Front and Centre!"
pevergreen shook his head with disgust at his fellow Magi and approached the Magus Supremo.
"Why do you shake your head pevergreen?"
"I shake it for I am disgusted, ma'am"
"Disgusted?, how so?"
"This Council is in turmoil and yet its' members merely loll about eating individual packs of cereal and watching cartoons"
"You may have a point my dear sir, but none-the-less, it appears that those Council members who have bothered to vote, have, by the slimmest of margins, condemned you to the VOID - do you protest"
"Not only do I protest!" exclaimed the exasperated mage "But I shall save you the trouble of opening all the applications of Office and do your job myself!"
And with that, the noble Mage clicked his thumb against his finger and his body was engulfed in a huge fireball.
The Council of the Magi watched as he burned - all simultaneously realising that there was no way they would be able to find any marshmallows in the larder and have time to get back before the fiercely raging fires licking pevergreens body had died down.
Soon nothing more remained of the Mage formerly known as 'pevergreen', but a tiny pile of ash.
"Somebody sweep that up. Ok - you lot - today was abysmal and most of you deserve to die. Let's see how many of you last through the night. If any of you make it back tomorrow you better have something to say for yourselves"

As I have the ability, amongst other abilities, to listen to the whispers caught in this hall, found out about a few of these brotherhoods.
Greyblades and pevergreen belonged to on particular brotherhood which shall remain nameless.
A Very Super Market, Captain Blackadder and Yoyoma belongs to a group that shall remain namless.

Night Four is ended - Write-up to follow...
The fifth day dawns on the Council and slowly the Magi reconvene in the Conference Hall and Cocktail Lounge to seek once more for the Magus Mafioso they know to be among them.
Boudica polishes off a plate of croissant and speaks in sombre tones to the assembled:
"Fellow Magi - a terrible deed was done last night and another of our brethren has been destroyed!"
The Magi scan the room and soon realise that the Mage known as 'Yoyoma1910' is not present!
"Yoyoma1910 was found in his room by my minions, beaten to a pulp - every last bone in his body smashed to powder"
Boudica hangs her head in dismay.
"We must root out the evil one from our ranks! Brethren! Tarry no longer! Vote now for who you think we should exile unto the VOID and let us put an end to these infernal deeds!"

Otherwise I do agree with your idea we do need to find out who we are all with. I can vouch for yoyoma but not AVSM he has never contacted me.

Good point, even thought this system could well be flawed. I have good reasons to believe that Thermal Mercury is a member of my order. He’s raging and aggressive character behaviour suggests to me just that.
notice that all those not voting in this round did not in the last round either. What, Did the dragon get your tongues or something?
Actually yes.
Below is a direct quote of the host’s PM about what happened to me in the past few days. I believe quoting PM in game thread is allowed, if not, please tell me so and do NOT read the following.
You are dragged from your slumber by the electric prickle of magic in the air. A spasm of fear bubbles up from somewhere deep in your subconscious. All is dark but you can feel the presence of another in your room - you just cannot see anything. Suddenly a maggot-ridden skull howls toward you - its' bony features glow with an unearthly purple flame!
You cower in terror as the skull swooshes about your head - it's jaw nips at your nose and your ears - you cannot feel the pain but bile rises in your stomach as you try to call out for help and it feels as if the power of speech has been stolen from you by the nameless horror.
The night seems to take forever to pass and as the Sun rises the horrific visions in front of your eyes begin to disperse. You appear to be unharmed but the sense that you are nothing but a frightened rabbit; trapped in the headlights of a careering stage coach causes you to sweat coldly and shake uncontrollably. Whatever foul spell was placed apon you it cannot have been cast by anyone serving the forces of good.
The affects of the spell were powerful. Not only were you frozen in terror for the night, you are also too scared to make any rational decisions today. You may speak in the thread, but you may not vote for anyone. You may also not reveal what you think has happened to you - either in the thread or in private until the spell finally wars off at the end of Day Three.
I do wandered what exactly happened to me, if there’s nothing deeper than what it appears to be on the surface.

Because from Sigurd's order theory, since everyone else probably belonged in an order, then it only leaves you and Lord Winter. And I picked you over him, without any specific reason really. :shrug:

Apparently these are the methods of murder:
'khaan - Cerebelus ...EXPLODUM! - destroys head
Reenk - Cerebelus ...EXPLODUM! - destroys head
Yoyoma - beaten to a pulp. (No magic evident)

It could be ... maybe... the magus Mafioso only had two Cerebelus Explodum scrolls? *buries face in palms*
The mafioso hasn't killed recently leading me to believe there lurking.

Lurking devilishly, suiting the killing pattern, stays out of the lime like, in no confirmed cult that makes me think he is innocent 1st priority suspect for me

The fifth day of the Council brought at least some small discussion between the remaining Magi. But a sickness appeared to have fallen on the Council itself and several of it's members said nothing, or simply shivered and sweated as if with a chill.
Finally Boudica called the session to a close for the day and the screetching chalkboard showed quite clearly that the Mage known as Lord Winter was up for exile. When summoned to the Magus Supremo to take his punishment, Lord Winter refused to budge - although 'refusal' would indicate some kind of activity - and from Lord Winter there was none.
The Mage seated next to him gave Lord Winter a shake and lo and behold! - The Mage's robes collapsed into a heap!
Lord Winter was not there.
There was some general commotion - several of the Magi assuming foul play - perhaps one last trick of the Magus Mafioso - but Boudica quickly drew her minions to her and consulted with them.
A study of the minutes revealed that Lord Winter had not spoken since the first day of the Council. None of the Magi could swear even that they had seen him leave his chair. A thorough search of Lord Winter's room was conducted and a note found which was returned to Boudica. The old crone affixed her eyeglasses to the ridge of her sabre-like nose and read thusly:
"Dear all,
I have decided that the life of a Mage is not for me and I am returning to my village in the Southern jungles to follow my true shamanic path. If someone could settle my room service bill, I'd be most grateful.
signed
Habanero Negra"
Boudica stared at the tally and appeared lost in thought for a moment before she spoke once more.
"I shall consult the Rhandome! - If it remain black then I shall use my power for today to exile the Mage known as Sigurd to the VOID! - If it become white, then Sigurd shall be spared!"
The Rhandome was bought out once more from the cupboard under the wide spiral stairs and placed before the wizzened - and clearly insane - old Sorceress. She passed her hand over its reflective surface and sure enough the globe was lit with a pale and milky light.
The Mage known as Sigurd found he had been holding his breath, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Boudica shuffled from the Hall and headed for the gym... or at least the jacuzzi, as the sun set on the Tower of Sorcery.

This game is actually interesting, but I think that it has come into misfortune with the other two (very big) large games going on, as well as the 10th anniversary game, where I am far too scared to reveal myself in front of those big, scary, players.
Anyways, I'm dead in both of the large games, but have gotten hoplessly lost in this one. For now.
Greetings dear council member,
I had the misfortune of being affected by a heinous spell yesterday, one which apparently made me not able to vote and put me in a state of "witless".
Now I have full set of utensils and can contribute more fully. The night is upon us and I must say, Thermal Mercury is not looking to good right now. He clearly revealed that he was the one killing Yoyoma last night.
Now, should he not be punished for this insolence?
It has come to my knowledge that Thermal might be the senior elder in his order, which happen to coincide with his ability to find out which magi belongs to which order. Remember his Blackadder + AVSM = Yoyoma. An order which was going to investigate me last night, but unfortunately wasn't able to.
But then he goes on to kill Yoyoma, and I can't see that we have that ability in our order. Any one else that have this and can therefore clear Thermal? This is why I believe he either is the Mafioso or have been converted like Greyblades. The Mafioso might have been able to convert two, creating his own little order of Mafiosi within the council.
And lastly... who put that spell on me last night?
Reveal publicly or via PM.
Night 5 will end in an hour from now. Thanks for the ooc comments :2thumbsup:
NIGHT FIVE
Thermal Mercury sat at his writing desk and cursed as the third clay-stemmed pipe of the day, cracked between his clenched teeth and spilt it's smouldering contents into his lap.
Dusting the glowing coals of tobacco from his robe into the sink in the en-suite, the Mage swore a few times and returned to the bedroom to continue his work.
A sinister chuckle caused Thermal Mercury to turn sharply. Before him stood the dark figure of a Mage - a scroll unfurled before him.
With a furious anger, Thermal Mercury assumed the pose of The Vengeful Gosling and prepared to unleash a powerful - albeit unmagical - attack on the intruder, but as had been found by previous Council members, the dark figure was well-prepared and as Thermal Mercury flew toward him, was already speaking aloud the incantation which would bind his spell to it's target:
"Cerebellus ....EXPLODUM!" became the last words to enter Thermal Mercury's ears, before his brains swiftly existed his skull in the opposite direction. Thermal Mercury gave a squawk of pain and for a split second, witnessed the chunks of grey matter coating the walls of his luxury suite and then he knew no more.
****************************
"Outspoken he may have been!" Exclaimed Boudica, raising a mug of pitch black coffee in salutation to the fallen Mage "But a Magus Mafioso he was not!
We have work to do Gentle-Magi - I would suggest lynching the correct suspect today, or I fear we may be too late."

And.... Sigurd's theory goes *ploop.
Out of all of us, Sigurd has probably contributed the most theories and seemed to have genuinly tried to figure out was is going on. The rest of us have done rather poorly in that department and as it was said, many of us have not given a lot of attention to the happenings in this council. If we are to catch the Magi Mafiosi amongst us, we must work harder.
Looking back on the events of each nights.
Night 1: Conversion of Greblades?
Night 2: Sinsheikhaan is killed, QJC is "paralysed".
Night 3: Reenk Roink is killed.
Night 4: Yoyoma is killed. (Thermal_Mercury) Sigurd is "paralysed"
Night 5: Thermal_Mercury is killed.
I see a pattern here. If we remove the death of Sinsheikhaan and Yoyoma, we have kill/paralyse/kill/paralyse. Now granted, Greyblades could actually be the one who paralysed QJC, so that would break the sequence. It also could be a completely different person who does the "paralysing". Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but that sequence makes me believe the person who "paralyses" is the Magi Mafiosi, also responsible for the kills.
Going with that logic, this leaves Captain Blackadder, A Very Super Market and I as suspects in my mind. I am loath to vote for myself, because I'm pretty sure I'm innocent. (:clown:) So I will Vote: Captain Blackadder.
We have work to do Gentle-Magi - I would suggest lynching the correct suspect today, or I fear we may be too late."

From the warning in boudica's results for last night, It seems we have two Mafiosi among us.
If there were only one we would have at least one more round after this.
One thing bugs me though, Quintus.JC's reveal didn't mention the spell used to paralyse as it did in my PM. It would be nice to know, to see if it was the same person who paralysed Quintus.JC.

Right! Gah! I missed that and simply assumed they were the same since the effect was similar. If its not the same person, I'm totally confused and thus I'll keep my vote on Captain Blackadder for now. If anyone has theories, now would be the time to share, if this is indeed our last round.

IC: Very well, dead one. First off, your creditentials as an investigator are somewhat flawed after admitting to have killed Yoyoma and what makes you think the Magi Mafiosi has not infiltrated one of the Orders anyway? From what we know, it seems to me they have been planning this for a long time.
As for my alleged scummy voting and my alleged lurking... I am pretty certain that if we look back through the whole council, of the people that are still alive, only Sigurd has probably spoken more than me. As for my voting, not only did I vote everytime I could, also explaining my vote, but I fail to see how voting for someone who has almost never spoken is "scummy". As for my vote on Captain Blackadder, I was fishing for a reaction.
It was an interesting reaction,
VOTE FLAX
Why would I kill yoyoma he was the same order as me and could vouch for my innocence?
Simply put, Thermal_Mercury killed Yoyoma, not the Magi Mafiosi, which renders your argument void. I wonder why you would say that, unless you are not paying attention to what is going on or you are trying to deflect your guilt. I don't know for sure, but either way, you are not being very helpful to town, so I'm keeping my vote on you.
The Flax, read my investigation!
I killed yoyoma to determine his alignment, I know he is in the same order as captain blackadder and AVSM, and yoyoma was innocent, this automativally clears blackadder and AVSM! If you don't see this It is you I would destroy next, you seem very scummy, have no claims to a cult, and have been hiding in the shadows all game.
The suspect list is very slim Flax, and your still on it
Quintus JC
The Flax
Thermal Mercury
Lord Winter
Sigurd
FoS: Q.J.C, Sigurd & The Flax
The flax especially because of your scummy voting and reasons stated above, then maybe quintus..... :san_undecided:
TM should not be posting after he was killed. Why do people never read the rules? :smash:
I have requested that TM edit his post. Please continue.
hmm,
This is not an easy choice. I would normally think that the mafiosi would have more interest in a game than the rest of the cannon fodder does, and hence post more. If this is true I would think that The Flax is the culprit. Then we have the duo Blackadder and AVSM which despite not posting any theories of themselves are basically contributing every round. They clearly were in contact at the very beginning of the game despite denying it at a very late stage. Wasn't it either AVSM or Blackadder who stated: "I don't know if [the other player] is in my order or not, I haven't been contacted by him".
Come on, you must be blind for not seeing the establishment of orderly communication between the two of you. Hence I believe they were lying about it.
I know the Mafiosi is one of the following:
Captain Blackadder
Quintus JC
A Very Super Market
The Flax
Is it Quintus.JC? It could be, but another one is needed to make it Mafiosi. Hence, I am going to vote:Blackadder to see what Quintus.JC will do.

That was me I said that I cannot confirm AVSM because he has not contacted me and this is true. I was quickly contacted by Yoyoma after my first post but I was never contacted by AVSM at any point to say that he is a fellow member of my order. I am not lying about it you can kill me if you wish for now I am a simple townie I used my ability last night to try and investigate Thermal but alas he died.

Here, I'll even be useful and post a tally.Tally

Day 6 has ended. Write-up to follow
Voting:
TheFlax votes Captain Blackadder
Captain Blackadder votes TheFlax

Tally:
Blackadder: 2 (TheFlax, Sigurd)
TheFlax: 2 (Blackadder, AVSM)
Once more at the Magus Supremo's bidding, The Rhandome was brought forth and The two Magi known as Captain Blackadder & TheFlax were asked to stand up. Both eyed Boudica nervously as she ran her hands over the large reflective dome. The image of a shiny silver coin appeared in the Rhandome's centre, spinning faster until it became a blur. Boudica clicked her fingers and the coin stopped - the picture of a dark snake eating it's own tail, resting face up.
Boudica turned to Blackadder. "Tails you lose."
The Magi opened his mouth to protest, but the Magus Supremo had already opened the Parchment of Word - and (after pausing briefly to install security updates) Boudica flung Captain Blackadder into the parchments' cone of light.
The was an eerie buzzing sound and a frenzy of black shapes.... Boudica's face fell as the gut-wrenching screams of Captain Blackadder were heard above the buzzing. The cries of the Magi Mafiosi mocked those of the Council that remained:
"MWAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU FEED US THIS SERVANT OF LIGHT AND MORE POWERFUL WE GROW! MORE! MORE! FEED US MORE OF THESE SWEETMEATS!"
Boudica slumped back into her directors chair - clammy and exhausted and gave the Rhandome a surly kick.
"I may have been a little melodramatic before, but if the Mafioso kills again we really ARE in trouble... I hope to see you all again tomorrow."
Crestfallen the Magus Supremo leaves the room.

Night Six begins. It will end in 24ish hours
Night 6 has ended. I must run though, so may not post the write-up until tomorrow morning - or even as late as Monday morning. Thankyou for your patience. B
Alright... which one of you is the Magus Mafioso?
The Flax - very active, and trying to get on my good side.
A Very Super Market - active, but not contributing with any theories.
Quintus.JC - going for a lurker victory?
Sigurd - the embodiment of innocence.
Will this be the final writeup by boudica? She seemed to indicate that the Mafioso must fail to kill for us to have a chance.
But even if he succeed there will be 2 agianst 1 which would still make it a chance for the town, right? Because 2 against 2 would be a tie - and ties will ... hmm ... randomly kill a candidate. :thinking:

Dang, Captain Blackadder was my magic buddy.
There is nothing to contribute now, there seems to be 2(?) mafia left. We're boned.
Sigurd - the embodiment of innocence.
:laugh4:
If this follows the pattern we have seen thus far, no one should be dead. I'm expecting someone to be "paralysed", but I may be wrong, especially if the "paralyzing" is done by more than one source who are not mafia, as it has been suggested.
And, A Very Super Market, don't be so defeatist unless you want the town to lose. If this is over, then it is, if it is not over though, then we have to do our best to find the mafia(s).
DAY SEVEN (apologies for keeping you waiting)
Boudica smiled grimly as the last of the Magi returned to the Council. All that had been left alive at the end of the previous day had returned, and the Magus Supremo felt her confidence returning. Surely today they might end the Mafiosi threat!.
Calling the Council to order, Boudica apologised for the extent of her lie-in and bid the Council begin their voting.

I have no ability to roleblock, nor voteblock. I can simply investigate once, and last night, I investigated TheFlax. I don't know what else to say to you. I sent Sigurd a PM about it, and he brushed it off.
A Very Super Market
04-27-2009, 23:52
I don't feel like editing my other post.
I believe that QJC has a role-blocking ability. My investigation of TheFlax saw him writhing on the ground even before I checked his alignment. Since Sigurd claims to have had this happen to him, he is ruled out, and since I don't have that role, it must be QJC

Yet you voted him.
Why would you vote, and your vote is still on, The Flax if you knew he was innocent? Out of the remaining players, you are the most suspicious.

Sorry - work is being a bug. WRite-Up to follow as soon as I can.

I investigated TheFlax, and found he was guilty. Thats why.
Oh well, QJC had better roleblock him this night, because otherwise you two are dead.

You are not confessing yet? Besides, if what you say is true and Flax is guilty, then he must have cast the spell on himself since Quintus denies having that ability. I guess I should mention that I too threw a spell on the Flax last night. A role blocking one, which involves freezing the victim, but as you say he was already under the influence of the scull spell. If he threw that spell on himself, I would have blocked his attempt. Therefore, I believe it was either you or Quintus who was the spell caster. I took a chance and accused Quintus. He acted like I expected and I knew he had already mentioned being affected by the same spell earlier.
If I am correct the game ends now. If not, it must be Quintus. Let's hope Flax has saved a spell that will block Quintus.
A Very Super Market
04-28-2009, 15:43
Perhaps the spell was simply yours. Making someone an infantile mess certainly keeps them from doing important things. Regardless, my investigation came back positive on TheFlax, so I would hope you still have a roleblock available.
:rolleyes: ... Alright AVSM,
If you had quoted your investigation results in your first post after last night, things might have looked differently.
If as you claim, The Flax is guilty, we have lost. Quintus.JC claims he does not have the block ability that many of us have experienced. I believe the block spell is cast by the Magus Mafioso as a means to remove a vote every other round. If The Flax is guilty, he must have cast it on himself, which I would strongly object to. I cast my blocking spell on The Flax to keep him from doing any night activities.
This was the result I got:
Very, very, late into the night:- You leave your luxury penthouse suite and creep stealthily down the ambiently lit corridor, to the main landing. The wide, winding marble staircase - illuminated intermittently by small, caged dragon calves, spirals down into the depths of the Tower of Sorcery below. You pause and then decide on one of the corridors which branches from the landing.
The electric crackle of magic is strong and you realise that there has already been much sorcerous activity in this vicinity!
Silently you grip the handle of the door to the room of the Mage known as 'TheFlax'
As soon as you enter the room, you sense that all is not right. TheFlax kneels on the floor mouth gaping and eyes wide with sightless horror, the Mage swipes at creatures he cannot see, and you shudder as you recall the terrors which visited you only too recently. You almost think twice, but proceed with your spell anyway - perhaps your Icy Breath might ease some of the Mage's suffering through what remains of the night.
Running your finger along the scrolls runes, they glow coldly and a cloud of ice crystals forms before you. Blowing gently the miniature ice storm swirls toward TheFlax and encompasses his pathetic writhing form. As he freezes you turn from the room - unable to look apon his terrified visage without it bringing back painful memories of your own night terror.
You return to your room and fall to sleep, troubled - awaking a few short hours later as the Sun hits the Tower of Sorcery - to rejoin the Council.
It does allude to much magic being used in the vicinity of The Flax. I therefore concluded that either you or Quintus had attacked The Flax just before me, adding to the ill fate of The Flax.
You claim The Flax is guilty which contradicts my view of this game. He should not have been able to use his "scull" spell on himself when I blocked him the same night. This means, either you lie or Quintus lies. If you lie, we win, If Quintus lies, he wins.
It seems I was quite the target last night, being allegedly targeted by 3 spells! :laugh4:
I don't believe A Very Super Market, if he truly had a "Guilty" result on me, why not say so at the beginning of the round? (He could have even quoted the PM) Instead, he waited until his own life was on the line before actually saying anything about an investigation.
If the game does not end now, I can't do much to Quintus.JC since I wasted my own "blocking" spell earlier on the game on my innaccurate suspicions. :shame:
I'm hoping you made the right choice.
Quintus.JC
04-28-2009, 20:00

I never have to lie when I'm town.
The above statement is definitely true.

Seriously, though; this is exciting. I can't wait for the conclusion.
