Minnesota Mafia: The Senate Scandal [Concluded]

[seireikhaan]

June 2, 2009

A certain Camel Lord wakes from his slumber. Though groggy, he clears his eyes and plops on his favorite reclining chair, before flipping on the morning news. As the typical hubbub is made over the economy, the Camel Lord brews himself a cup of coffee. Upon his return, as per usual, the topic had switched to local politics. A couple of talking heads were yammering to each other unintelligibly, when the main newsman interrupted, with BREAKING NEWS! A bit curious, the Camel Lord raised an eyebrow as he continued to sip his coffee.

The newsman shuffled his notes at his desk a bit nervously before clearing his throat for his BREAKING NEWS! announcement. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have breaking news here in studio 8, regarding to ongoing race for Minnesota's remaining senate position between Republican Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken. Following the Coleman camp's decision to push the race all the way to the State Supreme court, the court has issued the following judgement: there is to be a complete and total recount of every vote cast in the election." The news caster turned to the talking heads beside him and asked them what they thought of the decision, which yielded a continuation of the previous yammering which was as intelligible as group of the muppet show discussing how to get off a pirate ship.

The poor Camel Lord sank a few inches in his chair, as he pondered whether or not to move to his more sane neighbors directly south. "What a debacle..." he muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, on the west side of of Minneapolis, in a luxury suite....

"Congratulations, Mr. Coleman!" an eager intern applauded. "Now we have a chance to keep that idiot Franken from ruining this country! Isn't the grea-" The lad was cut off by an irritated Norm Coleman.

"We haven't won jack yet! We bought some time, but there's still a very good chance that we might lose." The intern's eyes fell a bit. "That said, you can be very, very useful to me." The young man's eyes opened wide. "I need you to go to the Target Center, where they're holding the ballots for recount. I need you to inflitrate the recounting group and do whatever it takes to make sure that I get more ballots than Franken. Got it?" The intern nodded his head vociferously. "Don't worry about ID, we've already got someone working on a fake one for you. You just need to make sure you don't do anything stupid to get yourself caught, alright? Just make sure I beat that loser Coleman!

Meanwhile, on the east side of Minneapolis, in an oddly similar luxury suite.....

"What a joke this is, Mr. Franken!" an irritated intern griped. "You had this election won fair and square. What kind of jerk is this Coleman any-" The intern was cut off by an angry Al Franken.

"Look, kid, stop your whining! You wanna help me out or what?" The intern nodded his head with vigor. 'Ok, I need you to go to the Target Center, where they're gonna do the recount. I need you to do whatever it takes to make sure that I beat Norm Coleman. You got this?" The intern nodded once more. "Ok, look, I've got guys already working on a fake ID to get you in to the recount. Just don't do anything too stupid to get yourself caught. Alright? Just make sure I win, no matter what!"


Three days later....

Once more, the Camel Lord drug himself up from bed, plopping himself on his comfortable recliner, and flipped on the morning news. Right now, they were discussing the weather, raining again.... However, before the weather forecast was finished, the main news caster interrupted once more with BREAKING NEWS! "Something sinister involving the senate scandal!" the news man declared. "Two members of the recount crew were found dead in the Target Center, leaving many thinking that one or both of the Senatorial camps might be up to no good to secure their election." The Camel Lord spit out his coffee. "You gotta be kidding me!

Meanwhile, on the east and west sides of Minneapolis, two angry, not-yet Senators are also watching the same broadcast. The two men utter in unison, ":daisy: interns!"

Inside one of the Target Center offices:
A small group of volunteers looks visibly shakened as a tall, aged man stands up on a chair for a platform. "Ladies and gentleman! The recounting has to stop! We have killers amidst us, nobody got in or out last night! We have to banish whomever did this, so we can get back to our work."

"But who did it?" a woman asked.

"We'll have to decide that, as a group. We're here to serve Democracy, we must use Democracy to vanquish the killer amongst us! We each get one vote, and cast out whoever we think the killer is. Does every one agree?"

With two exeptions, the entire group offered an enthusiastic "YEAH!!"





Rules:

NO QUOTING PMS, NO QUOTING CHATLOGS, NO SCREENSHOTS, NO ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS, AND NO TRANSLATING PM'S

The dead cannot discuss anything about this game outside of the thread.

I do not allow Vote: No Lynch as an option. Period. You may abstain, however.

If you wish to take back a vote, you CANNOT do it by editing a previous post. I will not count it. Period. You must unvote:playerX in order to recant the previous vote. In order to vote for someone, you must do so in the usual Vote: khaan style. Votes must be bolded, for reference.

Suicides will only be allowed in the event of a person being very much unable to participate in the game. I do not allow suicides for any other reason.

No links to anything outside of this thread. Period. I don't care if it pertains to something completely irrelevant.

It would be very helpful for the sake of my sanity if player's kept a tally running.

Voting periods will be 24 hours, though I may occasionally extend it to 36 if necessary.

Any ties in voting will await someone to break it. First vote to either person who is tied will result in lynch, regardless of any posts after it.

WoK(Wrath of Khaan) will occur if a person does not vote 3 rounds in a row, or if they do not vote in 4 rounds in total. Please, please don't make me WoK you.

It's probably intentional though, seeing as he's only said he's giving out the mafia's role PM's.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Ahh... I like reading my role PM ~:mecry:

This is more WIFOM than me voting for myself.

Night one

Navarro951 was troubled. Even though he was on the recount commitee, he lacked the ability to count. All this time, he had been flipping a coin, meaning that he had royally screwed the recount business.

"No matter", he finally said to himself, sitting in one of the many bland, sticky, chairs in the Target center. He had no political convictions, so the outcome would never matter with him. Satisfied with his justification, he flopped down to watch some of the more festive promotions that the two senators had planned.

The poor Democrats couldn't match up to the Republicans in sheer entertainment. As Navarro flipped between channels, he saw snippets of men riding Donkeys, like a scene out of Don Quijote. And on the ugliest one, was Al Franken, looking utterly disheartened at the debacle. And on the next channel, were the elephants.

Glorious, they were! Navarro was transfixed with their beauty. And as he sat there, he saw the majesty that was Norm Coleman.

https://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x246/greaterkhaan/normA.jpg

At his command, the 14 of them began trumpeting, completely enveloping Navarro in a sense of utter glee. Somehow, the old, mono sound system he was using had managed to project their harmonic waves all around Navarro. It was at this moment when he felt the unmistakeable feeling of drywall and plaster in his hair.

Turning around, he saw nothing other than a large hole in the wall, which he did not remember being there. He also did not remember having an elephant in the room with him when he came in. Putting two and two together, he deduced that it was the elephant that caused the gaping hole. Pleased with himself, Navarro continued to watch Norm Coleman's parade.

But something was odd. One of the elephants was missing. There were only 13 of them this time, and it then it began to dawn on him. Or rather, the elephant began to step on him. Navarro died wondering how they managed to fit those little hats on the elephants. The elephant died wondering why the organizer wanted to have explosives planted on him. The other committee members wondered how in the hell could Navarro have enough body mass to completely cover a room in guts.

Only one knew about the elephant....



Splitpersonality yawned as he continued to skim through the seemingly endless numbers of ballots, his weary mind numb from the sheer repetitiveness of the matter at hand. His head dipped slightly onto his chest for a second, before he realized he was about to fall asleep on the job. Snapping his head up, he decided to to the restroom and have a very, very long urination. When he opened the restroom door, a man in a mask leaped out from the restroom, clubbing him over the head with a cudgel, knocking him out.

Splitpersonality's next moment of conciousness began with him feeling even groggier than when he woke up. He tried to speak, but found himself gagged and bound, unable to move either. He could feel something being wrapped around him, however. It felt rather like.... ducktape with confetti? He tried to struggle a bit to get out of the bindings, only to have a long, dirty looking needle thrust into his neck. The plunger thrust in, and a man quitely ushered "night night", before Splitersonality lost conciousness again.

Finally awaking from his quite comfortable nap, Splitpersonality noticed that he was back in the main chamber where the ballots were held, though he was still bound on the floor. Even more disturbing than this was the fact that he could only see through two holes poked in the front of a cardboard box that had been shoved onto his head. It really was quite uncomfortable, the air was beginning to get hot in this box. Suddenly, a vibrant scream rang out.

"OOOOOOH MY GAWD!!!" a younger woman screamed. 'IT'S A PINATA!" Tratorix raised an eyebrow inside his cardboard container. He couldn't see any pinata....

"Oof, this is a heavy one!" A man's voice rang out as Splitpersonality felt himself being lifted up with force. "Must be A LOT of candy in this one!"

"Wait, what are we going to use for bats?" The woman asked. "This is a basketball stadium."

"Oh, let's just grab some brooms from the janitor's closet!" A third person's voice chimed in. "Come on guys, we deserve a small break from all this counting, don't we?"

"YEAH!" The group rang out in chorus. Splitpersonality felt himself thrusted up onto a hook hanging from the ceiling. He tried to squirm, but found his limbs wouldn't move.

The group finally came back, brooms in hand. Another young woman remarked, "Man, that has gotta be the ugliest elephant pinata ever! Like, who would even want an elephant pinata anyways? Oh well, I WAAAAAAANT CAAAAAAAAAANDYY!!!" With a ferocity befitting a jungle tiger, the woman led the charge as the entire comitte began its brutal broom bludgeoning of the defenseless "elephant". Only when the group realized that the pancreas was not, in fact, made of Pez and that blood was not, in fact, hawaiian punch, did they stop the senseless assault....

[A Very Super Market]

Keep ties going? Well, I would, but something is a little odd. See, Porus used elephants, and so did the diadochi. Iskander 3.1 indicates that he succeded Iskander the first, meaning that he rules the AS, and therefore uses elephants. HMMMMM?????? Explain your coincidence, now!

Cultured Drizzt fan
GeneralHankerchief

[seireikhaan]

Just to be absolutely clear- I do not permit the town to not lynch anyone. If there's a tie like this when the round is finished, something ugly is gonna happen at my discretion.

[A Very Super Market]

Let's keep the ties going, see what happens.

Vote: Caius

[Beskar]

Everyone has a tie would be awesome.

[Tiberius of the Drake]

This is ridiculous. to break the tie another random vote on those who already have a vote
Unvote:Greyblades, Vote: Beskar

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. I wanted to see what would happen :laugh4::laugh4:

Unvote: abstain, Vote: Tiberius of the drake and so we tie it up again. OK so now everyone else tie it up on me and other people of your choice, I want to see this tie!

[seireikhaan]

Oh my, y'all(except maybe Beskar) should offer a big ol' thanks to Tiberius. He popped in at literally the last second before I was ready to declare this round over. Round is over, Beskar is lynched.

[Caius]

Vote:navarro

[Askthepizzaguy]

~:wave:

There used to be a vote here, but I decided it was silly to vote after the buzzer.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Vote: Crap I missed the deadline by three minutes

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

dang it, rounds over..... CURSE YOU TIBERIUS!!! CURSE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!:laugh4::laugh4::laugh4::laugh4:
nevermind........

[seireikhaan]

Please disregard my previous statement that Beskar was lynched. Cultured Drizzt fan popped in just before me, so his vote for Tiberius tied it. My policy on a dual tie is that the first person to achieve more votes than the others from now on will be lynched. Currently, there is a tie with Beska and Tiberius. You may still vote for anyone else, however. Caius, Navarro is dead, your vote doesn't count.

[Askthepizzaguy]

vote: myself for scummily voting right as the round ends. And FoS: myself for the same reason.

[Askthepizzaguy]

unvote: myself, vote: Beskar

[seireikhaan]

vote: myself for scummily voting right as the round ends. And FoS: myself for the same reason.
This vote does not count, you must unvote the previous vote first.

[seireikhaan]

unvote: myself, vote: Beskar
This also does not count, you must unvote the previous vote before your illegal vote on yourself.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I wish I even knew when the rounds ended, I don't ever know what time it is GMT, so I basically fly blind.

[Askthepizzaguy]

unvote: Blackadder, vote: Beskar

[Tiberius of the Drake]

Does my old vote stll stand or do i have to vote again?



(If my vote didnt stand then Vote:Beskar)

[seireikhaan]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Ok, Beskar was lynched. Writeup to come.

[Askthepizzaguy]

That was a cluster and a half of something that rhymes with duck.

I seriously thought, just as the host did, that the round had ended. Then after messing around, I had some serious trouble voting correctly. That was 10 minutes of pure idiocy. I loved it.

[seireikhaan]

The ballot counting volunteers gathered around the table to discern who had committed last night's heinous crimes. Votes went out seemingly to every person, but no majority could seem to be decided, since every person was voting differently.

"Aaargh!" The elderly man screamed. "This is craziness! This is why we have political parties, so that the winners of elections don't have 15% of the vote! If this doesn't solve itself, we'll all have to play Russian Roulette with my ol' Colt .45!"

"Wait, I VOTE HIM!" a couple panicked voices rang out. After tallying the new votes, the group gathered that Beskar now had the most votes.

"Beskar," he elderly man declared. "You are banished from the Target Center, never to return!" As he brandished the equally elderly pistol at him. Beskar merely raised an eyebrow.

"I'm crushed...." he muttered sardonically as he left the arena once and for all.

Tally:

Beskar: 3 (Atheotes, Tiberius of the Drake, AskthePizzaGuy)
Tiberius: 2 (pevergreen, Cultured Drizzt Fan)
Greyblades: 1 (Tiberius)
Atheotes: 1(DIY)
Iskander: 1 (Captain Blackadder)
Pevergreen: 1 (Iskander)
Death is Yonder: 1 (Beskar)
ATPG: 1 (Greyblades)

They are the killers.

Also, it was stupid there wasn't a fairer end of turn tie up.

[A Very Super Market]

Of you? Very vindictive, aren't you? It is night. You can't vote for two people. You are doing very poorly at getting anything across. :P

[Beskar]

Well, why did they suddenly pounce on me. It was rather suspicious of them to do that last second. As you will see, the killers will strike again, thus proves my innocent and as they were up for jumping me, it makes them stand out a mile away.

:nod:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes, it was the wine in front of me. I, being Al Franken himself, am disguised as one of his supporters, Stuart Smalley. And I decided to lynch you Beskar because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people wanna lynch me instead. This is all part of my master plan to be the most incredibly obvious mafia ever.

:bounce:

[Beskar]

Wait, you mean you are not?!?

[seireikhaan]

General Hankerchief slowly walked through the Target Centre. There was a strange scent in the air, one of...... a distant memory. Wafting through the the rooms was a something so familiar, the he would be a fool not to realize what it was. It was blood and guts, since he was right next to the room where Navarro exploded. But rather, it wasn't the scent of Navarro himself. It was of a wild beast, although one could not say that Navarro himself wasn't wild.

It was the unmistakable stench of elephant guts. It all came flooding back to him. The Elephant wars. The beasts, with their tusks constantly goring the infantry. Crushing armour.... it was far too vivid. They took at least 20 tribesmen with spears to bring them down, as they were the only ones brave enough to go after them. And the monkeys too.........

He glanced at the hole in the wall. Elephant tracks lead out towards main street.

So there was an elephant in the centre......

__________________________________________________ ______________

Soon, he saw it. The beast was unaware. Packing tons of dynamite. And easy shot. If GeneralHankerchief had a gun, it would be. Instead, he has Navarro's small intestine and a whole lot of gumption. He would have to think hard.

He soon learned that he didn't need to. The elephant had spotted him, and immediately charged. Utterly surprised, he resigned himself to his fate. The next morning, the body was found.

The elephant had charged and missed. Its neural defibrillators had failed, according to some of the committee. Instead, he veered into a stack of ballots, giving himself papercuts all over his jugular. GH did not fare much better. He was shot in the groin, foot, sternum, thyroid, knee, ear, forearm, and pinky finger. And then his head. No one knew who the shooter was.

__________________________________________________ ______________

Meanwhile, outside the centre, outside of Minnesota, actually, there were strange reports. An elephant had managed to get to the top of a building with a gun, shoot it, and fall off afterwards, leaving a sizeable mess to clean-up. Even stranger, this had happened near the embattled Target Centre, where several suspicious incidents had taken place. Democrats lightheartedly took it as a sign that the Republicans were failing. The were silenced when authorities found a donkey underneath the body.


Pevergreen was reclining in the visitor's lounge of the Target center, enjoying their comparative level of comfort to the wooden chairs used in the ballot counting room. His eyelids slowly began to drift downwards as he felt his conciousness drifting to sleep. Unbeknownst to pever, someone was walking up behind him. As pever's mind began drifting to thoughts of donkeys and elephants, a thin, steel wire descended upon his exposed jugular. Pever's eyes shot open, but he could not scream, as no air could escape his enstrangled throat. The wire came further down, pressing pever's neck into the chair, until pever finally blacked out, for one final nap.

Well obviously I think that's a mistake, but at least you're voting.

My beef is with the hesitant voters.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I was kind of hoping my vote would promote a discussion, but it looks like that isn't going to happen. this is ridiculous. if we don't discuss things we are going to have a hard time trying to find the mafia.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'll discuss your vote. :bounce:

It's wrong, wrong I tells ya. I'm innocent, see. My hands are clean. I didn't kill anyone. And if you just let me live long enough, one of the mafia will pick me off and you won't have to worry about me anymore. yes.


In the words of the immortal Phil Hartman, that's believable testimony.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah but...... I don't know I just have a gut feeling. If anyone else has any suspicions then speak up, but I dont really think you are a unbiased witness ATPG. does anyone have anything to say?

[atheotes]

alright... there is a 22.22% of chance of anyone of you being a killer... :juggle2:

Unvote, Vote: Iskander, he is the only one yet to vote...lurking perhaps. I will change my vote if he posts.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Did you know that your gut has more nerve endings than your brain? That's not a fact most people are aware of. It's not a fact you will find in any medical textbook. It's a fact that I know, because I can feel it in my gut so I know it is true.

Search your feelings, Cultured Drizzt Fan, you know me to be a townie.

*waves hand*

These are not the droids you're looking for.

Well, we clearly have an energetic town. The round will be ending in one and a half hours.

But that does nothing. Why not have a vote on him?

[Askthepizzaguy]

How dare you criticize my attempts to re-invigorate the town? My blatant bandwagon is sure to angry up the blood.

I take a baseball bat and I swing it at the beehive *WHAM* and I say BAD! That's a BAD beehive! RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

But that does nothing. Why not have a vote on him?

I do have a vote on him

[seireikhaan]

Day is ended. Tallying votes now.

[seireikhaan]

The volunteers gathered again following the last two deaths. Stunningly, despite the seemingly obvious threat on their lives, very few seemed willing to put another to death to stop the assaults. When the meager tally was finally counted, Iskander was found to have the most votes. With the announcement made, the rest of the group grabbed the still-bloody brooms that had been used in the bizarre and unfortunate pinata beating earlier, and chased Iskander from the Target Center.


Tally:

Iskander: 3 (ATPG, AVSM, Atheotes)
ATPG: 1(Cultured Drizzt fan)
Abstain: 3 (Caius, Death is yonder, Greyblades)

Iskander has been active elsewhere in the gameroom... not sure why he did not respond here... i guess we will not know if he was mafia atleast until the night phase concludes.

[Askthepizzaguy]

If the mafia promises not to kill me, I will vote however you want.

[Iskander 3.1]

Sorry everyone, I've been balancing 3 games and stuff in RL as well. Guess I learned my lesson not to do too much at once.

[seireikhaan]

Ooooooooookay. Its still night. I'm gonna extend it another 20-ish hours so everything/body can get reaquainted with what's rolling.

[seireikhaan]

ATPG's curiosity once more was getting the best of him. He figured he would never have such a chance to explore his favorite local sports complex. ATPG journeyed down the hall from the office. ATPG got to the stair case and stopped. He looked to his right. Elevator. Looked back left. Stairs. Elevator. Stairs. Elevator. Stairs. ELEVATOR! ATPG pushed the button to open the elevator. *DING*. With the door open, ATPG jumped with boyish enthusiasm into the elevator.

*CREAAAAAAACK!

ATPG's spidey sense went off a few seconds too late, his head peering downwards as the fake elevator floor crumbled from beneath him. The last ATPG saw was a person standing at the open elevator door above him, smirking, as he plunged to his doom.

BEGIN DAY PHASE! I'M GONNA LET THIS ONE GO A BIT LONGER SO PEOPLE CAN GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Quick question: Who writes these? The mafioso or the host?

[Death is yonder]

Probably the mafia, why are there 1 less kills, and why target ATPG? Get rid of discussion? Did we lynch a mafia off? Or did the mafia kill the other mafia.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I wasn't mafia, so it's entirely possible that the previous lynch choice was, or that the person is inactive or simply trying to make it look like there is one left.

I'm leaning we lynched the correct one.

[seireikhaan]

Quick question: Who writes these? The mafioso or the host?
The mafia may write as much of the writeup as they wish, though they are not required to write anything or everything.

[Greyblades]

Great, who am I going to talk to now?

[A Very Super Market]

No one, I guess. I don't know why, but this game is really inactive compared to the other small mafias.

[Death is yonder]

Vote:Abstain

Rather busy, holidays are euphemistic terms for "work" and going back to school here.

Evidently the mafia is killing off those who would liven up discussion/contribute to it.

Who hasn't posted much yet?

Oh wait, Unvote;
Vote: Captain Blackadder

Just to get the discussion rolling since I'm not around when the day phase is going to end... ugh, waking up at 5... in the holidays! What a pain =(

Did we lynch a mafia last round? I hope we did :sweatdrop:

who do we vote now? I have absolutely no clue :embarassed:

Do you do random vote to try to appear less scummy?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

actually i think he did it to get us talking, as he isn't going to be here for the rest of the phase.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Cultured Drizzt Fan-

You seem almost apologetic now that I am dead.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I am apologetic, I honestly thought you were mafia (you werent right?)

[Askthepizzaguy]

The reason I say so is because it's very strange to act that way. None of the other players made a public show of shame from my death, or publicly doubted their own abilities.

In mafia games townies die... you move on. Your emotion over my death is touching, but suspect.

Abstaining this late in the game smacks of not wanting to attract attention or make enemies.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I simply said I was sorry I thought you were mafia, I dont really care your dead except it means I was completely wrong with my theory. I have no one to think suspect, I was hoping people would actually talk and we would have someone coming out of the work's as our target by now. I guess that isnt going to happen soooo.

Unvote: abstain, Vote: Caius

why vote death is yonder? the fact he is going away and cant defend himself?

[Greyblades]

Well apart from how boring is going to be without ATPG I cant realy think of anything thats going to be helpful.
Vote: abstain

[Askthepizzaguy]

LOL flattery will get you nowhere.

There's only one left so start punishing the lurkers. Get people talking and then lynch the least helpful people.

[Death is yonder]

Not really gone the whole thing, though I thought it would be. I was not sure how long exactly khaan would let the whole thing through as I would be like 5 hours or so + back from the whole deadline. Besides, people always start talking when accused, although Blackadder has failed to counteraccuse me or something it has at least gotten something moving. Surely my vote wouldn't get through? Just the snowball tossed that starts the avalanche of discussion that is required. A quiet town is a dead town.

[Greyblades]

Blackadder posted in the Fillet royal game a hour ago.

[Death is yonder]

Then not here? Are people forgetting about this game....?

Caius appears to have deliberately ignored his lengthy departure from the Fillet Royale II game...

Can we have more talking?

[Captain Blackadder]

Sorry I forgot about this game to a degree.

Someone mentions Blackadder and he shows up right afterward? That reeks of lurking and watching the thread activity closely but not posting to avoid attracting attention.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

sorry I was gone guys, thought nothing was happening here.
yeah apparently I am a very apologetic person, gets on everyone's nerves.... pretty much everyone who knows me tells me to shut up whenever I say I am sorry...... :(

[Death is yonder]

Still nothing is happening... and a large part of discussion is by 1 dead guy... seems to me the dead guys aren't sticking around to discuss.... how drab =(

[Death is yonder]

I don't buy it.

Hmm, I think I would rather vote a guy that has been following the game but not posting till attacked.... than a guy who hasn't been here on the .org entirely or much less the game room...

Vote:Captain Blackadder
Nothing finer than the sweet smell of vindication in death for you to prove, we still got time to get rid of lurkers before the crucial last round. No sense making it an easy "lets lynch the lurker" last round for the mafia.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

god people, where is everyone? Unvote: Caius, Vote: Captain Blackadder Pizza guy has a point, people mention you aren't around and you show up. now can we please get with the talking. (I will even accept off topic conversations at this point, at least it means people are around) vote me off for being wishy washy, I don't care at this point as long as we start DISCUSSING.

[Greyblades]

The problem is we dont realy have much to discuss seeing as the writeups aren't exactly brimming with clues. The best thing we have to talk about is lurkers, and thats not a very solid premise for a vote seeing as its exam season.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

that is a good point.... in that grain of thought I should be studying right now..... eh it can wait.

[Death is yonder]

Well, I'm glad my exam season is already over... for just over 10 weeks of freedom.

[A Very Super Market]

Discussion is dead. What exactly is going on? I've got a feeling that it isn't Drizzt (Meaning that he HAS to be) but afraid of getting fingered if I vote third on a bandwagon.

Eh, I can take it Vote: BA

[seireikhaan]

Once more, the ballot counters gathered in the main room, following the death of ATPG. Following a stark, quiet discussion, it was decided that Captain Blackadder was the most suspicious of all. Following the announcement, the entire group took up their brooms once more, chasing another from amongst their midst. Each hoping that this would be the last of the killings.

NIGHT BEGINS NOW! I WANT ORDERS IN 24 HOURS!

[Death is yonder]

Well, I'm guessing that it is possible that the other political party that didn't kill the other night was simply waiting for the other guy to die so he can continue killing.

We'll be seeing how many die this night, I don't think we have many phases left..

[Askthepizzaguy]

7 players
Night kill- 6 players
Lynch- 5 players
Night kill- 4 players
abstain- 4 players
Night kill- 3 players
Lynch- victory/defeat.

Could be up to 3 more.

[Death is yonder]

Still, no excuse for slack though :clown:

Tosa is hard at work, I can see the smileys on this computer, well some of them are still codes but yay! Smileys. :smash:

now what? we just wait for the night phase to end and see how many kills are there? and then vote someone at random like we seem to be doing?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

yeah seems about right..... :p

[seireikhaan]

A Very Super Market was growing increasingly bored with the ballot counting. Being stuffed in this comparatively tiny room with total strangers and going over mundane ballot after mundane ballot was beginning to grind on his nerves. Heaving a sigh, AVSM got up from his chair and left the room, to get a breath of fresh air, so to speak. As he strolled over to the drinking fountain, he noticed a bright red skittle on the floor.

"Oooh, a piece of candy!" he exclaimed. As he picked up the fruity, sugary, piece of heaven, he noticed a second skittle not three feet further away. "Ooh, a piece of candy!" After popping in the second candy into his mouth, he again noticed another skittle on the floor, again not even three feet away. "Ooh, a piece of candy!" And so the sugary circle of life continued. "Ooh, a piece of candy! Ooh, a piece of candy! Ooh, a piece of candy!" AVSM barely noticed that the line of skittles was leading him up the staircase, further and further up, all the way to the roof. Finally opening the door and stepping out into the fresh Minneapolisian air, AVSM again noticed more skittles. "Ooh, a piece of candy!" AVSM followed the line of skittles all the way to the edge of the roof. One last skittle was sitting there tantalizingly on the edge, almost precariously. "Ooh, a piece of candy!" As he reached for the last skittle, a man stepped out from behind a ventilator behind AVSM, and gave a strong, sturdy push to AVSM's back, tossing the poor, skittle infested man aaaaaaaaaaaaall the way down to the pavement below. The man looked down at the last skittle on the edge of the roof.

"Ah, a piece of candy..." he said to himself, as he tossed the fruity goodness into his mouth before departing back to the stairs.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

ok so one kill, that either means we got one or they are trying to lay low and make it LOOK like we got one.
who do we vote for at random today?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Why do I NOT think it was Caius.

[Death is yonder]

I don't know? Cause he doesn't seem to be following any mafia game lately? Even Fillet Royale II which is like in its final phases?

Well honestly, you can just vote me or something, so you don't say I've been over contributing the last phase or something and leave the mafia for easy bandwagon. There really isn't any discussion, its annoying, and there's nothing to compare from except those who ARE talking.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I command you to vote for who I say. From beyond the grave FTW.

[Death is yonder]

Go for option two, funny looks are infinitely better than murderous looks. [Clown]

[Greyblades]

The annoying thing is that the only player who I thought was mafia, without being shown how they are scummy from another player, has been inactive enough to make me think he realy isn't mafia. Now all I have to go on is what a dead man walking has come up with.

Uh, no offence by the way.

Tiberius should be WOGged,

Greyblades is stalling. Atheotes' indecisiveness is actually his usual late game behavior. I'd go for Greyblades instead for his out of character hesitation.

[Death is yonder]

Really? Well, I just simply looked back as in, and saw the tally has no Atheotes name in it, voting or being voted.

Just seemed to me you were flying under the radar or something.

I suggest we lynch Atheotes now, and me next round so you guys can get rid of suspects for the final day phase. So you all don't get paranoid and what not then mafia goes (HEY DIY, you have been too supportive and hyper townie, must be mafia! Lets lynch.)

This is not WIFOM. I place my money on Caius or Tiberius being mafia. Of course we can deliberate... discussion is always welcome.

Edit:Unvote;
Vote:Greyblades

Talk, I want your input.

If I'm satisfied I'll vote Tiberius. Indecisiveness shouldn't be left to the last round. The mafia will slaughter you on the pretext of lurking.

Unvote: Atheotes, Vote: greyblades.

Can someone explain why I am being told to vote for him?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Posted twice this round without voting. How is town supposed to win if we don't choose someone to lynch? It's also the behavior of overcautious mafiosi. Unless there is a tactic at work here, I can't see a townie doing this.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

ahh thank you, that makes sense.

[Greyblades]

Posted twice this round without voting. How is town supposed to win if we don't choose someone to lynch? It's also the behavior of overcautious mafiosi. Unless there is a tactic at work here, I can't see a townie doing this.

Its called learning from my mistakes; I didn't vote because, if I remember correctly, the last few times I voted for the town favourte, when tired I got accused of, and even lynched once for bandwagon-ing. See the org mini mafia for example where this is going on right now.

Vote: Death is yonder
For blindly following the guy who died the same night that one of the mafia stopped killing.

[Death is yonder]

That would only make sense if Khaan uses a system of sorts where if, for example.

Mafia A targets Mafia B (10am)
Mafia B targets Townie C (12pm)

So because Mafia A killed Mafia B earlier than Mafia B kill Townie C, so Townie C doesn't die and instead Mafia B doesn't kill due to the "realistic" timing so called of who sent their pms first.

Well, unless Khaan can confirm this I wouldn't run up that alley.

I'm thinking more of Mafia A targets Townie C and Mafia B forgets to send in orders and is now using ATPG as the "hey look, a mafia must have died!"

Well, there isn't much discussion, so what am I suppose to do? Vote everyone randomly and get accused of throwing my vote around? That seems awfully... under the questionable motives region. Don't you think so eh mate?

Edit: Blindly following? No. The last statement in your post is of rather dubious nature as it is rather ambiguously put, as in like, the mafia could reduce to 1 kill and we wouldn't know.

FoS: Greyblades for trying to create even more WIFOM in relation to ATPG=Mafia

[Greyblades]

Of course your blindly following him, you havn't even made a vote this turn without him telling you to do it or voicing suspicion the post before.

What am I supposed to do? I try to play smarter for once, actually think about why I'm voting, and I get the entire active town on my back because of the dead guy says I'm acting unusualy which, by the way, was the intention.

[Death is yonder]

I stated I wanted your input, plain and simple.

Unvote;
Vote:Tiberius

Can't you read my last posts, they clearly state what I plan to do. Plain, and simple.

Edit: Its not the whole town, its two people...

FoS:Greyblades again for overreacting.

Another Edit: And there is clearly more than 12 hours still, why are you overreacting!? I just wanted your input..
Now I want Tiberius's input on this discussion. Although Greyblades appears to have bitten onto the line...

Must... reel...in...line..to..check..what..fish..I..caught..

[Greyblades]

I'm irritated/overreacting because my attempts to get better at the game and not just follow the crowd has actually gotten me in worse straits than if I just went along with it.
*sigh* screw it I'm going to go back to coaxing the lurkers.
Unvote, Vote: Caius
He's been lurking for days and yet hasnt been WoG'd? Either khaan has not been paying attention or he's doing something out of thread.


Edit: My deduction would probably have been better if he had actually been active in the last 2 days. Unvote

[Death is yonder]

I'm not the one following the crowd... that would be CDF.

I'm just following ATPG's target and with a different plausible reason.
Once I'm satisfied with the input (hopefully continued discussion), well, yeah.

Caius seems to be facing... activeness issues..

In Fillet Royale II which is in its final phases, down to 5 people, he hasn't even popped in to vote, and was easily bandwaggoned by the mafia.

In other mafias such as this, he is similarly inactive.

I don't know.

[Askthepizzaguy]

His mafia has been dragging on forever. I still don't know if anyone won his mafia.

He seriously can't be mafia in any of the games he is in if there are still kills. Otherwise he is going for the lame lurker mafia win, which... to be honest... is lame. It's been done a lot and all it really does is encourage town to lose the game more often by panic lynching of the lurkers on final rounds.

[Death is yonder]

Round is ending in approximately slightly less than 4 hours.

I would advise looking for people who are active in the forums yet posting, though Caius claimed forgetting about the games when I accused him in an earlier round... He seems to have "forgotten" about the game again, gah! :thumbsdown:

Edit: Caius appears to not have posted anything in the .org since 11th of June.
I think this can at least temporarily clear him.

Following another stunningly quiet discussion, Tiberius was selected as the one most likely to be the killer. The few remaining ballot counters decided they were tired of simply chasing those found to be guilty out of the arena. Now, instead, they clubbed Tiberius over the head with multiple chairs before tossing his limp body over the arena stands, watching it tumble down the stairs all the way to the polished wooden floor.

I volunteer to replace an inactive.

Me is also frustrated, Khaan. :bow:
No. As a matter of policy, I do not and will not allow players who have already died/been lynched to take over for other players roles in the same game. I will look for outside replacements for inactive players in my coming large game, but at this point, I feel it will not be sufficient to implement it at this late stage of this game.

[Death is yonder]

Yes, it is quite frustrating indeed...

Why do people sign up for mafia games if they aren't willing to give their all. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Tiberius, didn't even bother turning up to defend himself when selected to be voted.

Caius has totally not been posting/activity on the org since 11th June

Its like really, everyone is forgetting. Maybe even the mafia forget. Hopefully 1 WoG or so will be enough to send a message that not doing anything will not be tolerated, in time for the critical last 2 voting phases...

I'm wondering how we are going to take it. The last phase is a night phase...
So the next day phase is critical.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You're so the final mafia, Death is Yonder.

LOL you're the only one who seems to be concerned with winning therefore = mafia.

Goodbye, see you in Heaven. Or something else?

I would likely clear Caius on the basis that he simply hasn't been around.

Unless of course he is the mafia that stopped killing.

Tonight we will see if the mafia get rid of active discussion members... again. :thumbsdown:

[seireikhaan]

Cultured Drizzt fan was, like all else in the room, growing more and more numb as the days went on. Ballot counting can only be made to be so interesting. He sat in a stiff, wooden chair, his head slumped downward, as he "rested his eyes" for a moment's rest. Gradually, his conciousness began to ebb ever so slowly. Darkness began to overtake him. He vaguely felt a slight pressure on the back of his head....

*BAM!*

With comparatively little warning, his head was slammed into the desk in front of him, his skull screaming with pain. An arm roughly snaked its way around his forehead, holding his head backwards and his neck stiff. Anotherh arm roped around his head the other way, a grey-tinted switchblade in tow. The hand made a swift, forceful cut at CDf's jugular, spilling open a profuse amount of blood. CDf collapsed to the floor in a heap, splashing into a pool of his own blood....

I dont want to vote caius because he's practically proved innocent and lynching him would be a waste of the last round, voting you would be a waste due to you being the only good conversation here there is :grin: and the fact that you're the only other person here voting so it would likely end in a tie ending with us both dead, and I dont want to vote for myself for obvious reasons.
So that leaves athetos who has been lurking for 2 turns now making no contributions in that time other than an abstain. As far as I can see he's the scummy-ist guy around other than me.

[atheotes]

Apologies :bow: my system crashed and i was without my computer and internet for more than 48 hours... just got it fixed.

i though i would have been dead in this game already... surprised that i am still alive and able to contribute.

I guess Caius has been inactive and is possibly innocent.

Out of the other two i am going to Vote: Greyblades as DIY did not take the easy option of voting for a lurker...

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

I have to say that I believe that Atheotes is not the mafia. He was not on for 48 hours, so he couldn't have possibly sent in the kill order for me.

[Greyblades]

Out of the other two i am going to Vote: Greyblades as DIY did not take the easy option of voting for a lurker...
I'm dead aren't I?

[Death is yonder]

He posted in other threads that his internet crashed...

On the other hand that makes him just in time for when the kills stopped?

Could someone verify that please? :bow:

[Greyblades]

He stopped frequenting this thread soon after iskander and ATPG died so yes it is possible he's the mafia.
Not that your going to listen to me.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

then who killed me? I believe we have one mafia, and it ain't Atheotes.

[Death is yonder]

That's what I'm believing too, which is why I'm voting Greyblades.

His behavior at the moment reminds me of ATPG's Mini Mafia V where I and Beskar was the mafia and TheFlax was innocent, and I gave up accusing TheFlax who was probably the innocent townie and started building a case on Beskar instead, which in hindsight, just made me look more guilty. Basically, sounding like trying to make TheFlax lynch Beskar instead.

Which is why, I'm going to keep my vote on Greyblades. If we lose, then I will take the blame :shame:

Edit: It was post Iskander's lynch and ATPG's death that the mafia dropped to 1 kill.

After some reviewing, that phase was many days ago, far past before Atheotes experienced system difficulties, which would have merely put him out of commission of the previous day phase, and the previous night phase.

On the other hand, the lack of kills stretches back further beyond those phases which Atheotes is granted some leeway of not being present.

Therefore I would conclude that either ATPG or Iskandar is the dead mafia, probably Iskandar, and I feel I am justified in voting for Greyblades, for trying to get me to vote Atheotes when I was merely considering the possibilities.

[Greyblades]

Well it sounded like it was going to be either me or him lynched this turn so I tried to get him lynched instead of me.
Either way if you get him or not this game is probably ending in a turn so, Good game guys.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Again, if it helps any, I was not mafia this time. My death and the drop in kills is a bizarre coincidence.

:no: <---- this is you not believing me.

:shame: <---- this is me not being believed.

[Death is yonder]

I likely finger the Iskandar lynch for that :dizzy2:

[atheotes]

I likely finger the Iskandar lynch for that :dizzy2:

yes... i too thought it was Iskander's lynch that reduced the number of kills... i did call for his lynch and as soon as the kill number dropped posted about this as well...:yes:

[Death is yonder]

I think the mafa (probably Greyblades) left Caius alive so in this phase where it could have been a tie 2-2 was instead reduced to convincing 1 person for a 2-1.

With Caius probably not voting, I think all have been accounted for.

I wonder if he will back with like... 15 hours to go.

[seireikhaan]

Ok, I'm coming back in an hour, and the writeup will be posted.

[Death is yonder]

:yes:

Hope for the best. :juggle2::juggle2:

[seireikhaan]

With their number now at a third of their original count, the small, frightened group of ballot counters gathered once more to determine who was sabotaging their efforts. After another quiet, subdued discussion, the consensus was finally drawn- Greyblades. As the remaining three turned to the condemned man, he slowly backed away. A twitch began to overcome his right eyebrow and his breath began to quicken. The other three volunteers bumrushed towards Greyblades, who immediately turned on a heel to run away. Unfortunately for Greyblades, he had failed to account for the wall which stood one foot behind him. Greyblades slammed facefirst into the wall, stunning him. The volunteers quickly subdued him as he staggered to his feet. As two held him down, Greyblades began to rant maniacally.

"This is NOT the end, this is just the beginning! A new golden age for Minnesota will begin!" The volunteers raised their eyebrows quizically. The glory of Al Franken shall reign supreme over this great state!" Greyblades continued on. "There is no justification for this opposition! Mr. Franken will turn Minnesota into the grandest state in this glorious Union!"

"So," the elderly man queried. "You have been behind the killings? You have been responsible for the deaths of all these innocent people?"

"No," Greyblades admitted. "I haven't been responsible for all of them. Someone else was here too, probably from that scum Norm Coleman! Although I don't think he's been here for a while. But I do admit with pride that I did my best to advance the cause of our glorious leader, Al Franken!" The remaining ballot counters merely shook their head. The elderly man took out his colt .45, grabbed it by the barrel, and slammed the butt of the pistol on Greyblades' temple, knocking him out cold.


The Next Day:


Once more, a certain Minnesotan Camel Lord awoke in the early, Minnesotan morning. After pouring himself a cup of coffee, he plopped himself onto his recliner and flipped on the morning news. The weatherman was on once more, reporting that, once more, it would be raining. Halfway through his seven day forecast, however, BREAKING NEWS! popped in, with the camera cutting to the head newscaster.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have breaking news regarding the long standing race for Minnesota's last Senate seat. Late last night, police arrested a young man by the name of Greyblades at the Target Center. He was working as an intern for the Al Franken camp. He is accused of the deaths of numerous volunteer ballot counters. Upon an investigation of the Target Center, police were able to ascertain that one of the dead include Norm Coleman intern A Very Super Market. They determined that Mr. Market was likely responsible for even more deaths." The Camel Lord's jaw dropped in front of him.

"With both camps now tainted by accusations of murder and attempting to circumvent the democratic process, Federal government has ordered that all votes for either camp be rendered null and void. However, we at channel 2 news have good news! The volunteer ballot counters submitted their final tally to the state, and we can now pronounce a winner, live here first!"

The Camel Lord raised an eyebrow. With the Democrats and Republicans out of the picture, who was going to win....?

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Minnesota's newest Senator, having the third largest percentage of the vote following Coleman and Franken, IS...."

All hail the new lizard government :laugh4:

[Beskar]

Good going, we win.

[atheotes]

hurrah! we won! .... everyone should note that i am not mafia :smash:

[Death is yonder]

For now...:skull:

:clown:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Well done, Death, Atheotes.

:bow:

I am grateful you could win.

[Greyblades]

Huh well my first time as a full time mafia went well...

[Askthepizzaguy]

Near-victory... not bad.

Beats getting lynched round one! :beam:

[Greyblades]

Yeah well, I would have won if khaan hadn't let the dead post.

[Beskar]

Near-victory... not bad.

Beats getting lynched round one! :beam:

:cry: You and Tiberius of Drake set that one up on purpose.

[Death is yonder]

Well done, Death, Atheotes.

:bow:

I am grateful you could win.

No problem el pizza man~

Apparently, I'm in the thinking that me voting for you elicited Greyblade's questionable response :yes:

@Greyblades: Don't feel so bad,

The mafia in general made some good calls on who to kill, and activity dropped. Methinks the only mistake was leaving yourself and me as the only active posters left, and I knew I was innocent, and Caius wasn't here, and Atheotes was likely to have a retaliation vote on you.

Good first game as mafia Greyblades :bow:

I'm just happy that my gut is as trustworthy as ever :2thumbsup:

[Iskander 3.1]

See, just a coincidence that the kills dropped after I was lynched :)

[A Very Super Market]

I was planning to divert attention until suspicion would fall on ATPG. But then I was night-killed, ruining all my plans. Humph.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I will cry scapegoat every time someone does that. AND, I won't do that as mafia either.

Scummy scummy scummy. Everyone already suspects me, I'm too easy a target. So I will cry scapegoat every time.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

good game everyone, good job DIY and Atheotes. Thanks Shinseikhaan for a good game, and thanks for one of the first games I was actually not mafia in!

[seireikhaan]

For Your Information- this was actually the first game I've hosted(out of six total now) that the town has lynched a mafioso/serial killer/bad guy. Though I was disappointed with the activity level for the most part, the town does get a kudo from me.

[atheotes]

thanks everyone and Khaan... for some strange reason there wasnt much to discuss :confused:
