Pirate Ship Mafia [Concluded]

[Sigurd]

If ye leave the vote at a tie. Me, the First Mate and the Capt'n will look over the evidence presented to us by some fevered bilge drinkin' rats.

[Louis VI the Fat]

Aye, leave it a tie. Send the suspects to us. We have ways of making them talk, of extracting the truth.

We'll lock 'em up in the galley. There lives Bubba, our sodomizing 296 lbs cook. He requested toys for tonight.

[woad&fangs]

Sqwawk! Free us both. Free us both!

[pevergreen]

I want to join your vig group to kill LG.


Ok...at the moment it's just you, me and AVSM. I'll see if I can get someone else before the deadline.

Sasaki

If you get the missing guy, gimme a heads-up, or we don't need to say who we're working with?

Ok, I don't know if AVSM will be back before 12:00 eastern (deadline). If he is then send your orders in. Or Andres should we have you in the group instead, you are on the fence?

Sasaki


thats why I vote Jolt.

Why does YLC?

He be owing his vote to me for a while.

[Beefy187]

Vote: Abstain

[Tratorix]

Shiver me timbers!!! Another mutinous heart. If ye look carefully me an the first mate do vote on the same dog.
If ye have notin' to do there is always the tops needin' a wash - seein' all ye bilge drinkin' hands can't hold it in when havin' the tops watch.

I have nothin'gainst our good captain. Long as he gets what needs to be done, done, fine. If not, well... :smash:

Also, I agree with lettin' our Capn' decide. Clearly, we can't come a decision.

[TinCow]

So, I am pretty sure about w&f allegiance, but I'm not to sure about Andres.

If you'd like to actually help w&f, why don't explain why you're "pretty sure about w&f allegiance."

[Sigurd]

*ding ding ... ding ding ... ding ding ... ding ding*

That's it.. me be takin' a caulk. The capt'n will oversee the lynchin' while I am down below dreemin' about my wench.

[Louis VI the Fat]

*yawns*

'Good night, Sigurd! Sweet dreams! Hope you have lovely dreams about your wench!'


*waits for Sigurd to doze off*

*sneaks off to this secret alcove below deck where Sigurd's wench is waiting for me* :pirate2:

[Double A]

Oi there's a woman on board!

Oh and there's Sigurd's wench! How'd she get aboard?

[LittleGrizzly]

I would like to point out I never allured to being anything but an able seaman!

I think Sasaki is the better target than Andres...

I wonder if anyone at all would be willing to bet thier gold on my guilt... some people seem so convinced thier willing to spend the whole day distracted with it... surely you would be willing to put some of your precious gold up as proof of your convinction... I surely would not be so stupid as to jump out into centre stage as a guilty party...

Your letting killers get away with killing at night and following thier directed lynches during the day... Sasaki has declared big townie groups lame and now is leading the town to his choosing

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yarrr... why are you so keen to make bets about yer supposed innocence, LittleGhostly? We will know what you are in a couple days' time. Focusing on yourself does nary a thing for catching the traitors here.

Since we're repeating ourselves:

Yeah, and if Sasaki and Andres are mafia (and they'd most likely be starting mafia, given how early this is) and they want to direct the town to their doom for a whole round or two, and then die in the process, it's a good trade. Slightly reminiscent of a certain Pizzaguy and his exhortations to lynch FactionHeir and CountArach, and then following up on the tip on discovery1.....

Bottom line: No sale. Sasaki and his group aren't all mafia, number one, and if Sasaki is, (:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: suuuuuure he is.... :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:) he's dead anyway.

[Chaotix]

18... pages... of... text...

:skull:

Me brain has given out. Now it's more mush'n it was before.

[LittleGrizzly]

Im lynched already but the problem is we seem to by lynching woad&fangs because he vouched for me (like people were asked to, though i never asked him to) so if im innocent woad&fangs doesn't look bad as a result, so im saying if your so convinced of my guilt maken a bet on t and we'll find out in a few days time...

Also im sugesting sasaki as a better lynch for organising a vig group and targeting innocents day and night so far, and also Andres as a better lynch for participating in this...

Im requesting the bets now as its pretty much pointless to woad&fangs in a few rounds if he's lynched now to see me proven innocent, so at least some loss or maybe reconsideration is a possibility. This is why I never asked someone to come forward for me in the first place... and now all of a sudden he's the next lynch target...

Lets get them for vouch for each other one at a time and we could spend a few days distracted with this fun!

I wonder if I have ever spent this much time arguing in a thread when I was guilty after I died....

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Yar, maybe woad&fangs isn't guilty, and maybe you aren't either. But this early in the game, you can't pass up on people who do suspicious things. If you want to save woad though, you'd have to say who your partners are.

Really, if you turn up innocent I'm going to stomp on yer grave. If you actually had a 4 person group and could have saved yourself by dropping a couple names who you had no reason to keep private :no:

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

arrr surely me offer can attract more people then that? I am basically giving away gold here people!

[LittleGrizzly]

Im kind of slightly hoping you won't live long enough to do that stomping...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Im kind of slightly hoping you won't live long enough to do that stomping...

The vote is tied. You could have saved yourself yesterday by naming your partners, and you could save him today by doing the same...and so could he. Did you misread your pm as joker or something? Let's here the names if you have them...or one good reason why neither of you will share them...it is not sensitive information in the slightest. The mafia start with three people, and you claimed 4.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

sadly Sasaki has a point..... this could have all been avoided..... :sweatdrop: bit late for that now, I think Sasaki jumped the gun here, that is for sure.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Im kind of slightly hoping you won't live long enough to do that stomping...
Now there's some townie-like behavior... petty revenge. :dizzy2:

Again, I really must ask: Why would Sasaki risk his head just to destroy your reputation for 3 rounds and end your life, at the cost of his own life, if he were mafia? It's not even a valid WIFOM tactic because it's inherently self-destructive; at the very least gets him investigated. Even if he were wrong about you, do we compound that mistake with a second bad lynch? Every player knows that the most common reaction to someone leading a bad lynch on a townie is a reflexive lynch in retribution, or a vigilante kill. Utterly pointless behavior for a scumbag. If he were scum, he's on a road which has a dead end followed by a cliff, and there's no turnin' back. Why don't you RELAX and enjoy the fact that a scumbag gave his life to kill you? Surely that's a fair trade. In the meantime, we MIGHT be discussin' more LIKELY suspects fer bein' Brits or Maven crew.


I think Sasaki jumped the gun here, that is for sure.

That remains t' be seen, doesn't it?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

Good point......

[Sasaki Kojiro]

sadly Sasaki has a point..... this could have all been avoided..... :sweatdrop: bit late for that now, I think Sasaki jumped the gun here, that is for sure.

I am getting that feeling, will be annoyed if that's true. LG's tone reminds me of another game I played where a townie gloated about how wrong we were after he was lynched for posting a botched detective pm forgery :thumbsdown:

But I don't think we'll lose this game on account of a bad lynch like we did that one, that was quite pathetic, and I hope LG is smarter than that and is actually guilty.


woad&fangs, why don't you try and clear things up by doing something other than squawking?

[LittleGrizzly]

Also im sugesting sasaki as a better lynch for organising a vig group and targeting innocents day and night so far, and also Andres as a better lynch for participating in this...

This paragragh answers your point about them being mafia... I never said they were...(this was posted above)

I said they were killers directing deaths of innocents in the day and night (that was assuming they managed to get woad lynched tonight) so i never hid any reasoning...

Im sure vengance is a pirate trait... Yarr!

The mafia start with three people, and you claimed 4.

maybe I wasn't part of a group of 3 people ?!

Edit:

My death is no worries but maybe we should avoid lynching woad now you've realised your mistake ?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

If vengeance is a pirate trait so is killing people for being annoying.

Killing woad is the best move anyhow, you could still be lying, if not then good riddance.

You claimed a group of 4, thus if 3 people had supported you then you couldn't be a mafia family. If only 1 or 2 did then it was still up in the air.

Names...of...partners <-- obvious play if you are townie

2...plus...2...equals...4 <--obvious math

*Jolt: I want to join your vig group to kill LG.

-----------------------end of quoted purported PM chain----------------


pevergreen: thats why I vote Jolt.

Why does YLC?

He be owing his vote to me for a while.

So pevergreen alleges that Jolt , out of the blue, knows about a vigilante group and its target and who is coordinating?

Unless there be more (much more) discussion before 'at particular PM chain, I gots to call "shenanigans". And how does it explain "why I vote Jolt"? And who is "he" who "be owing his vote to me for a while."? And why does he?

*Sorry for the cropped PM quotes; org software be unfriendly to the task of directly quoting a quote. Arrgh.

Andres is up on the block, but the others of that vig team be highly suspect as well.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Kukri, I asked for volunteers in the thread.

[KukriKhan]

For a vig team?

To kill LG?

[LittleGrizzly]

Names...of...partners <-- obvious play if you are townie

2...plus...2...equals...4 <--obvious math

2 (me, woad) = 4 - 2 (not dead or about to be dead) <--- slightly more advanced math

I can't be revealing nothing as far as im aware (rules). Besides as it is why should they come forward now and why would woad name them.

Edit : Also ATPG im sure I suggested a few times we should concentrate on the mafia instead earlier but now its too late and apparently its down to a killer (probably not mafia) and an innocent... this why i think andres is the better lynch... It's for the benefit of the town and because my messing around put woad in this postion (feel guilty)

[Sasaki Kojiro]

For a vig team?

To kill LG?

Yes.

I remember now, kung fu mafia was the game. LG, if you are really town, take a look at the other players response to the stranger getting himself lynched in the final round.

heheheh... you lost yourselves the game =D

people are wondering why i made up the role... well there is only one real reason... FUN... i was just looking for a bit of fun and a lil bit of laughing...

:thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Though doing that at the beginning of the game is not nearly as annoying.

So you see, pushing a woad lynch still is really giving you the benefit of the doubt :yes:

[Diana Abnoba]

Vote: Abstain to keep the tie.

[LittleGrizzly]

I did fun within the role playing, I pretty much explained the thought process behind it earlier on. I figured it would be fairly obvious.

Also im like to point out I never came out with any claims of any roles or results of any kind, what was said in the pm conversation wasn't even dodgy at all and all i did was in a short space of time without any pressure tell a lie and admit it. I did not even gain votes and get lynched or have to defend myself from arguments in the thread... you directed my killing..

Don't get me wrong I don't think im blameless but you well jumped the gun and share a great deal of the guilt along with your vig team who went along with the idea... also the W&F lynch is a continuation of your terrible strategy so far a complete distraction for the town... in other words a bad move...

We don't know exactly what The Stranger did in Kung Fu Mafia (heeheeheeheeheeheeheehee)

...but what LittleGrizzly allegedly did here should warrant nothing like a banning from game (which is what we gleamed from the linked page...) (TUBBY TOAST!)

Acting scummy is a GREAT way to get Mafia not to kill you straight up so you may continue on in the game. You could even go as far (we won't but...) as to say that every pro-town player has an ethical obligation to find some way to get the Mafia not to kill him (and acting scummy is probably the best of these ways as far as behavior is concerned). (NUNU - OH NO!)

On the other hand, vig killing someone who will be shown innocent is a play out of the Bengals book. 1-15, 1-15... :thumbsdown: (:clown:)

Besides, scummy is such a poorly defined predicate in the first place (cue the people thinking that changing votes, third on the bandwagon, or lurking is scummy... :no: :rolleyes:) that it means so little...

:toff:

[Splitpersonality]

Vote: Abstain


I have no idea what's currently going on, but apparently there is a tie, so I will keep it alive.

[TinCow]

Again, I really must ask: Why would Sasaki risk his head just to destroy your reputation for 3 rounds and end your life, at the cost of his own life, if he were mafia? It's not even a valid WIFOM tactic because it's inherently self-destructive; at the very least gets him investigated.

Every player knows that the most common reaction to someone leading a bad lynch on a townie is a reflexive lynch in retribution, or a vigilante kill. Utterly pointless behavior for a scumbag.

Surely that's a fair trade. In the meantime, we MIGHT be discussin' more LIKELY suspects fer bein' Brits or Maven crew.

To keep the discussion fair, I don't think Sasaki is really risking his life with this move. I honestly can't see a huge momentum to lynch him several days from now based on that vig kill, even if LG turns out to be innocent. There were plausible reasons for lynching/killing LG, and that will be enough to moot any move on Sasaki from that aspect... especially later in the game after the mafia killing rate has inevitably increased.

In a game this size, with a starting mafioso team of only three, a bold start would be a good strategy. Sasaki is nothing if not a good strategist. I'm not saying I believe Sasaki is scum by any means, but please don't go thinking that his current behavior is evidence of his innocence. This is way too early in the game to be marking anyone off as innocent. Every last person is still a suspect.

[KukriKhan]

So I guess I gotta search me own self to find the post where Sasaki wrote: "All and sundry, contact me to kill Lil Grizz, the liar, tonight."

What do we have here? 2 guys on the chopping block, er... plank. 1 of 'em pushed by an uncharacteristically chatty Sasaki (12% of this thread's content), with a bandwagon of guys who worked a vig team on n1, at Sasaki's direction.

Versus a populist move to question/attack Andres, an unabashedly bored member of that team, and supporter of a mutiny (that his boss, the only player to actually vote for a mutiny dictated (maybe?)) to kill a player/shipmate who tried to roleplay and joke.

And the defense of a n1 kill is some kinda reference to previous mafia games.

I dunno about the rest of my rum-swillin' shipmates, but that kinda ties it up fer me. The whole n1 vig crew outtah walk the plank, as far as I'm concerned.

If'n ya gotta case, present it. Let the crew decide. Doin' it on yer own undermines crew cohesion and mission accomplishment. An' makes teh crew look at'cha like sum kinda Brit or Mavenette er sumpin'.

Oh, don't get me wrong, if there be one player bold/crazy/strange enough to do this and still be guilty/mafia, it be Sasaki. However. Someone will be double checking on Sasaki, or we are really gullible people. The one thing I might suggest is that Sasaki could be 100% townie in role, but not in spirit. Sort of like a recent Capo-something game I vaguely recall.

One can play as townie until they get recruited by the mafia, or one can play as mafia until they get recruited by the mafia. Sasaki would be wise enough to do the latter, seeing as participation is pretty much mandatory if you get turned.

Dang it, I'm going back to singin' me shanties in a moment. I grow tired of thinkin', when I don't even have a mug of ale in me hand.

[LittleGrizzly]

Besides people were telling me sasaki can not be guilty in Inishmore because he wouldn't have put himself so out there....

Why would vigilante killing be immoral but lynching be moral? They are both highly illegal in the US. And you are suggesting killing 5 (perhaps resorting to vigilante action yourself) people with little basis, that's worse than killing 2 with good reason...

No, I don't require your gold (though I wouldn't refuse if you gave it). I just like having the final say because CR will get to do it so many times this game. :beam: w&f is probably as innocent as LG (just not feeling it on him, the case is decent but like most cases, relies too much on unsubstantiated premises), though Andres is probably innocent too, and it would be bad to kill both.

Please. If yer gunna use the King's Anglish, kindly adhere to his roolz. Otherwise, use pirate-talk, sez insignificant I.

Any group of humans must, for survival reasons, discard the 'kill' option without adequate basis.

Morality aside: Numbers count. The more hands doing work, the more likely the mission is accomplished. (Down side: more mouths to be fed).

Morality considered: Right is right. Wrong is wrong. We decide which. We (the players of this game) are deciding which is which.

Re: the killing thing; garnering 50.0001% of the players' support for killing (via case-presentation and subsequent lynching) is in the spirit of raw democracy, such as shown on this ship full o'gold and crewmen anxious to spend it.

Deciding on your own who should die today, and who should live, with the PM clamoring of bored compatriots... well, heck. I shouldn't have to spell it out fer ya.

Ah, but there was nothing today but mob rule and bribery, and it only takes two votes to lynch someone. And a bunch of people were willing to vote woad&fangs based on weaker evidence than was used against grizzly, so me thinks he would have been lynched anyhow.

Day 2

As would be expected on a pirate ship where heavy drinking was not just a custom, but a tradition, the discussion over who should walk the plank was very animated and spirited. Several pirates, seeing the potential for even further profit, started offering their services in various fields ranging from votes to pictures, providing a fine mess for the Captain's staff to sort out.

The biggest shocker of the day is when five sailors stepped forward and owned up to the killing of LittleGrizzly last night. Reaction was mixed, and another, more serious discussion emerged, with the vigilante group in question justifying their actions. Eventually suspicion fell on one of their members, Andres, as he defended himself louder than the rest and some of the Captain's officers cited his lack of being on duty for other things the previous night.

However, the opinion of the Presence was also very much against one woad&fangs, who claimed to be in allegiance with the departed Grizzly. woad, in a last-ditch attempt to save himself, offered some of his own stash of gold to whoever voted for Andres. It closed the margin of votes significantly, but was not enough. A late surge of votes for woad doomed him, and soon Captain Crazed Rabbit summoned him and the rest of the sailors to the decks.

"Well lads, I asked ye to speak, and ye have spoken," the Captain said to his crew. "Let the ship's log record that on this here day at this here hour, by the power vested in me by the crew of the good ship Presence, that I do pronounce woad&fangs guilty of treason." He stepped aside for a moment, and then handed woad a pistol.

"All right, woad, I don't know if ye're the man we be lookin' for or not, but rules be the rules and the rules say you've got to go. As per custom, this be a pistol with one shot. Should ye not find rescue or shelter, use it to take yer own life, and may you find more peace in the afterlife then aboard this here vessel. Do ye understand?"

"I do," said woad, taking the pistol.

"All right," said Captain Rabbit. "To the plank with ye, then."

woad&fangs slowly walked to the foot of the plank, and the stepped on it, taking a long and good look at the horizon, hoping to spot any nearby islands. There were none. A boot interrupted his scouring, and an unexpected woad flailed around madly before toppling into the water. The crowd roared with approval. Captain Rabbit knew how to take care of his men.

"Okay laddies, hopefully this be the end o' things, though I doubt it. To bed with ye, then, and let's hope the count of souls stays the same overnight."

But nobody heard him. A few of the more drunken pirates were taking shots at the submerged woad. Loud cheering was rampant. Finally, the water around him gradually turned red. "A direct hit!" somebody yelled, and the crowd roared.

Sighing, Crazed Rabbit made his way back into the cabin for the night.

Day 2 tally:

woad&fangs: 14 (Sasaki, Yaro, Sigurd, Louis, Andres, DiY, ATPG, Blackadder, slash, TinCow, ricera, White_eyes, atheotes, Reenk) :skull:

Oy Vey. :thumbsdown:

[Beskar]

You know Andres kept covering himself up by pretending to be in protection groups right?

Nevermind.

[Andres]

I find it strange that Andres is the choice of the lynch for participating in a vigilante kill, when Sasaki not only participated, but organized it and encouraged it as well. Why are all of you Andres bandwagoners not voting for Sasaki?

I found that strange too, but didn't mention it. There's no point in wasting 5 rounds lynching vigilante townies because they were actually taking action.

I'm truly surprised that I was actually in real danger of getting lynched for nothing more but killing a suspect.

[miotas]

Me be tinkin that this be a mighty soopiestichus crew we's got 'ere. The way youse be tryin ta talk to grizzly when's he's already dead 'n all.

[Subotan]

It's a GHOST SHIP!

[LittleGrizzly]

I agree Sasaki would have been the better choice than Andres, somehow due to Andres being vocal the votes piled up on him instead, not my choice but i would rather seen Andres go down due to people's mistakes than woad&fangs...

Now woad's lynched thats pretty much the end of the matter... at the very least a waste of the towns time and a distraction...

[GeneralHankerchief]

I had a lovely 10-hour sleep last night. Woke up to find 16 new PMs in my inbox. Nice job, guys. :thumbsup:

Question: If this game lasts longer then a month, will random people begin dying of scurvy? Because my plan this mafia game has been to hoard all the oranges and sell them for lots of gold.

[Double A]

:laugh4:

[Jolt]

thats why I vote Jolt.

Why does YLC?

He be owing his vote to me for a while.

Uh? You still haven't given out why you are voting for me? All you did was quote me saying I wanted to vig kill LG. I presume you know why I said that in the first place. Provided you do not, let me ask you "Why did you vig kill LG?". If you don't have an hidden reason, you'll probably answer why I vig killed him. Provided that you do know why I said that, the only reason I can find for you voting for me is to create a (failed) bandwagon.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Question: If this game lasts longer then a month, will random people begin dying of scurvy? Because my plan this mafia game has been to hoard all the oranges and sell them for lots of gold.

The game may last a month in real time, but it will probably last around half that time in-game.

And even if it does last a month in-game, let's say that... the sailors start coming across random fruit trees in the water. They've been floating just long enough so that the fruits are perfectly ripe.

Yeah.

[Yaropolk]

Beskar's a bit fruity, I think we can just all lick him!

And even if it does last a month in-game, let's say that... the sailors start coming across random fruit trees in the water. They've been floating just long enough so that the fruits are perfectly ripe.

Yeah.

We could just come upon a merchant ship carrying a load of fruit, and seize it! :pirate:

CR

[Askthepizzaguy]

We could always just open up one of our kegs of pickles. Yarrr... or did we forget to load up the ship with pickled vegetables before we left port?

[Double A]

Aaar! They may still be cucumbers!

[Subotan]

I always thought grog was a fruit.

[Double A]

Aaaar, only a British scum would think that! Every decent pirate knows that grog is distilled vomit mixed with rubbing alcohol!

[Subotan]

I don't know what you are drinking, but grog is just diluted rum. And since rum is made from sugar, which is obviously a fruit, since it is sweet and a plant, it logically follows that grog too is a fruit.

[Louis VI the Fat]

Arrr....who are these fake pirates who long for the foul stench of fresh fruit?

It wouldn't be your ration of lime you are missing, eh? :inquisitive:

[a completely inoffensive name]

I have no idea what the **** anybody is saying.

[ricera10]

I think it had something to do with grog not being a fruit, then with it actually being made from fruit. Either way, it doesn't have anything fruit-like in it in the end.

[Centurion1]

thought grog was moonshine, like really raw and strong, more like paint peeler

[scottishranger]

I was under the impression grog was more of a heavily watered down alcohol?

[Louis VI the Fat]

Now that woad&fangs is dead I can safely say...

he's innocentYes, Grizzly. You will turn up innocent. Woad most probably will too.


But then perhaps the defense could have been a bit more substantial than:

(Grizz) 'Those PMs are fake'. 'Oh, on second thought, they aren't'.
And
(Woad) 'Squawk! I'm innocent! I'm a parrot! Squawk!'

Mafia rule #something: always try to look innocent, even if you are. :smash:

[Iskander 3.1]

I was under the impression grog was more of a heavily watered down alcohol?

Right you are, it was what the British drank so they wouldn't get too wasted, and it helped with scurvy cause they added brown sugar and lime juice.

From the book And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails:

"If you met a pirate who was asking for grog, you would know that he wasn't a real pirate."

[LittleGrizzly]

Yes, Grizzly. You will turn up innocent. Woad most probably will too.


But then perhaps the defense could have been a bit more substantial than:

(Grizz) 'Those PMs are fake'. 'Oh, on second thought, they aren't'.
And
(Woad) 'Squawk! I'm innocent! I'm a parrot! Squawk!'

Mafia rule #something: always try to look innocent, even if you are. :smash:

I spoil any comments I make on the whole affiar now as I have probably written far more than poeple want to read on it anyway...



TBH after saying it was a lie I didn't see a whole lot I needed to defend myself from before next second i was dead* (i was also busy with work and stuff) In terms of effort put in I practically posted an essay to prove woad was innocent (indirectly through proving mine) but to no avail. Im not sure theres a whole lot woad could have said... he was guilty by association and so could only clear himself through trying to convince people my slightly wacky play was not guilt, but obviously I could much better explain myself then he could... that just left him squaking

*That I assumed sasaki to be bluffing when he threatened to vig me....

[miotas]

Y'know, me hearties, I reckon's I be losin' me marbles. I coulda swored that I jus' 'eard grizzly yappin.

Arrrr, better get some rum down me gullet to quiet the voices.

AND! If I sees that fruity bugger youse be talkin about, I'll give 'im bloody good lickin alright!

[GeneralHankerchief]

This is somewhat alarming as I've had two dropouts tonight alone, not to mention Xehh. If you know someone who would like to play, please let me know ASAP. Thanks. :bow:

[atheotes]

for the second night in a row we have had some pretty strange conversations :inquisitive:

[GeneralHankerchief]

Night 2 has ended, no more orders will be accepted.

Processing now.

[Louis VI the Fat]

I was wondering...


Should, or do players want, to know how susceptible they are to conversion to the cause of perfidious Albion?

Obviously, I think, it should not be public knowledge. The rosbifs are listening too. They don't need to know who would be a wasted effort, and who would be a sure thing.
But what of the players themselves?


(Albion, rosbif, lime fruit eaters (limeys) = the English)

[Double A]

They might contact the British saying "I'm avaliable, hook me up with a Marque!" if they were.

[GeneralHankerchief]

The only person aware of anybody's susceptibility is myself. This information is eventually shared with certain roles upon investigation.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Night 2

taka was alone and above deck, humming an old shanty to himself. He missed his mother. Dear old mum, always taking care of him and encouraging his peaceful inner nature... he almost thought about staying for a split-second when offered to join the crew of what would become the most bloodthirsty, drunken, and menacing group of pirates in the entire north Atlantic. Poor old mum. He wondered how she was doing now. Maybe after this was over, he would buy his own ship, and sail out to find her, and the two of them could retire together off the loot he had won. On the other hand, he could also blow it entirely on rum and women in the span of two weeks. Decisions, decisions.

He was seized by the shoulders as two hands started dragging him closer to the ship's edge. Snapping out of his nostalgia for his mother and his yearning for rum and women, taka struggled mightily to break free, and he did, eventually scrambling away from his two attackers. Cursing, the two men drew their swords and pursued, chasing taka in circles on the ship for a while. Eventually, however, they started to gain on him. taka, seeing this, dropped on all fours, and the lead pursuer tripped over him, going flying and landing on his other side.

As the first pursuer was struggling to get back on his feet, taka rose, seized his second pursuer by the hair, and brought his skull in contact with the first man's. Both attackers were now out cold, although taka was too dazed to do anything more than go back below deck and drink some more.

atheotes liked to practice his swordplay. During the operations in Charleston, he finally got to live his fantasy and go toe-to-toe with the enemy, holding his own. He was very proud of this and as a result had taken to sharpening his cutlass - sometimes excessively. He hadn't reached the point where his weapon had a name, but many other sailors on board had a wager going on when he would give in and name it. There was also a side wager about what the cutlass would be called, with the lowest odds being "Georgina".

"Hello, atheotes," two men said as they walked up to him. "Care to practice your sword play with us? You never know when you will find yourself at a numerical disadvantage." Both of them drew their own cutlasses as they were saying this, although atheotes was too excited about what they were saying to notice.

"Sure, that sounds great!" he said, drawing his cutlass.

"We thought you would like it," they said. "En garde!"

The three men sparred for a little while, with atheotes' opponents holding back their blows. However, a couple of minutes in, an unseen signal prompted the two men to ramp up their attack significantly. atheotes, taken aback, struggled to compete with the new ferocity that was coming after him. Panting, he tried to tell them to stop.

"Hey, guys, how about going down a notch, eh? I mean, this could really hurt somebody here!"

"That's the idea," said one of them, disarming atheotes and sending him kneeling to the ground in pain. The other lopped off his head.


Deep within the ship's cabins, a man was sleeping, dreaming the sweet dreams of a certain lovely lady. He was roused by a hand pushing his shoulder repeatedly.

"Mmmph... not morning bell until at least 3 hours from now... leeme 'lone..."

"I can't do that," the second man said. "You will wake up and you will listen to me."

"'less you're the captain, not interested," the first man mumbled.

"I have far more authority than the captain," the second man said in a menacing whisper. "I have the power vested in me by the English crown to arrest you, throw you overboard right now, and go after everyone you love and give them an even more horrifying fate."

This finally woke the first man up. He couldn't do this. He may have been a bloodthirsty pirate, but he still had a soft spot for his loved ones.

"What... what do I do?"

"I am offering you a letter of Marque. Accept it, and work with us. Destroy this foolish ship and its crew. Do this and I promise you leniency, plus a well-paying job and the support of the Crown instead of the opposition of it. What say you?"

The first man thought about it for several seconds. "Yes..." he finally said.

"Good," said the second man, already turning around to depart. "Now go back to sleep. I'll be in touch..."


gibsonsg91921 was sitting above deck, drinking some rum quietly. He couldn't sleep, so he figured that a healthy dose of alcohol would do the trick. Of course, it was getting harder and harder to do so. Being a pirate, gibson had achieved a very high tolerance for the substance over the years, so as a result he was rather drunk, but not completely gone to the point where he was about to pass out.

Four men approached him, cutlasses drawn. They did not mince words. Checking to see that his vision was not starting to blur and there were, in fact, four men approaching him, gibson took another swig of his bottle. "What's this all about, eh?" he slurred, with the men only drawing closer to him in response.

Taking one final swig of his rum, gibson finally drew his own cutlass in response and lunged at his attackers. He fought with fantastic bravery, although not particularly much skill, frequently swinging wildly at the air. Eventually, numbers and sobriety took their toll and gibson passed on. He didn't feel a thing.


Eventually the sun finally rose, and Captain Crazed Rabbit walked out of his cabins, shaking his head when he saw all the bodies. In addition to the corpses, there were also the bodies of johnhughthom and YLC, who had apparently gotten in a drunken argument over which wench in Nassau was the best value and took it too far, killing each other. "This be a bad omen if I ever saw one," he muttered to himself, and then proceeded to gather the remaining sailors to roll call.

"Right, laddies," he said, "the situation be growin' ever worse since last night. The attacks have increased, and so has the body count. Looks like ye'll be needin' to do the vote again to determine who walks the plank. Fer yer own sakes, I suggest that ye get this one right."

What about result pm's, GH?

Edit: got it now :D

[Askthepizzaguy]

YARRRR!!! Give the man time, you briny sea-dog!

[Subotan]

"Omen" seems like a bit of an understatement. Maybe "bloodbath" would have been better.

[Crazed Rabbit]

So, it seems like we had two mafia attacks, and the British conversion. Or was the attack on Taka the result of one of the mafia? The two people attacking him didn't fare very well.

And why was gibson attacked by vigilantes?! At least those vigilantes seemed to have cleared themselves of being mafia.

CR

[GeneralHankerchief]

All PMs have been sent.

It took me... 12 less minutes than last time, factoring in the writeup as well. Success! :medievalcheers:

[Askthepizzaguy]

At least those vigilantes seemed to have cleared themselves of being mafia.

Yarrr... it be possible that one be guilty among them, by my count. A letter of marque plus a two man attack by the Brits, and a two man attack by the Mavens... it's possible a Maven did a vigilante hit as cover. However, the majority of that group should be innocent, I agree.

[scotchedpommes]

The only person aware of anybody's susceptibility is myself. This information is eventually shared with certain roles upon investigation.
Which could then be passed on to those investigated.

Nae wise, I'd say.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Which could then be passed on to those investigated.

Well, yes, as you can clearly see by the conversion tonight. :yes:

[scotchedpommes]

Hm, there's no indication that information regarding their susceptiblity was passed onto them prior to conversion by those working for the good of the ship. [which is what our gallic officer was enquiring about.]

[Louis VI the Fat]

Taka - limeys?
One honest pirate has been turned into a scummy Englander.
Atheostes - the Maven? Is their hallmark the cutlass?
Gibson - vig killed.

Who killed Gibson and what for?




The only person aware of anybody's susceptibility is myself. Nothing remains hidden before my penetrating eyes. :stare:

[Askthepizzaguy]

There were multiple cutlasses (basically, used by everybody) and atheotes ended up dead... I don't see how atheotes was a maven or that cutlasses are a mark of being one. Yarrr....

[Louis VI the Fat]

There were multiple cutlasses (basically, used by everybody) and atheotes ended up dead... I don't see how atheotes was a maven or that cutlasses are a mark of being one. Yarrr....Sorry, I meant the two attackers on Atheotes.

The English don't strike me as using cutlasses. The cutlass is the piraty weapon of choice. Atheotes was cutlass against cutlass. So I presume that was pirate vs pirate, that is our crew vs maven.
I think the effeminite English prefer to sneak up on somebody from behind and have their filthy way with him. As they tried with Taka.

Did Taka get lucky, or was that an incomplete vig group?


What have you been doing these past two nights, Pizza? Busy organising?

[TinCow]

Hmmm... I didn't expect to get info alerting us when someone had been converted. That'll make it much easier for us to figure out how many we're dealing with.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sorry, I meant the two attackers on Atheotes.

After re-reading your post and the writeup, I now understand what you meant. :bow:

Actually, I think you're onto something. In both nights, a sword or swords were used by one of the mafia-attacks. Those could be our Brits. The Mavens however seem to be using cutlasses like us.


Did Taka get lucky, or was that an incomplete vig group?

I see no one defending him. I think he got lucky.


What have you been doing these past two nights, Pizza? Busy organising?

The Captain is aware of my activities. No, I haven't done much organizing. Some, to be sure, but after the first night, everyone pretty much was in groups and I've left their command to the Captain himself. As for me, I'm focusing on my task. Yarrr...

[Crazed Rabbit]

I wouldn't put too much weight on the weapons used yet. This isn't Sasaki's pirate mafia game.

And, if I read the rules right, I believe the attack on atheotes was the Maven crew members. The British special agent can't convert, only the Lieutenant can convert. And only both Lieutenants, together, can kill.

So the attack on Taka was probably just vigilantes, as with gibsong. While that is troublesome, it also means those persons are very likely not to be part of the maven crew. If the people who did participate let me know, I could remove them from the list of possible maven pirates.

CR

[Askthepizzaguy]

A pair of vigilantes, as opposed to four?

[Crazed Rabbit]

Yes, which would explain why it failed rather easily.

CR

[Askthepizzaguy]

Yes, which would explain why it failed rather easily.

Then I am rather curious as to the identity of the solo attacker on Centurion1. Surely a brave and loyal crewman would step forward and claim credit for that attack two nights ago. Yarrr.... come, share a pint with me.

Wait, I'm confused. How could the English kill taka, and convert an able seaman into an agent in the same night?

Also, what other weapons would pirates use? We haven't had anyone killed by muskets...yet.

[a completely inoffensive name]

I'm going to wait to vote for a bit until there is a clear person we are bandwagoning on since no one seems to have any clue what is going on or who is mafia.

[Louis VI the Fat]

GH - if there's a solo or two men attack, do the participants reveive nothing, or do they get forty / twenty gold?


There's the single man hit on Grizzly, on Centurion, the four man hit on Gibsons, and possibly two men on Taka.

You guys do realise that protection - succesful or not - makes as much money as attacking, right? 40 / 4 = 30 / 3 = 10.
Whereas protection increases the chance of the crew eventually winning, thus being able to actually end up enjoying the money made.



@Subotan - I was probably wrong. See Rabbit's post above. Most likely the English special officer ('godfather') investigated.* One lieutenant converted. And one lieutenant was free to do to whatever perfidious business it is they do. Possibly, join a vig group.
The English now have four players. That means two can kill, one can investigate, and a fourth can convert. Bad news.

If a limey joins a vig or protection group, how they show up in the PM's?

*Watch out for players who show up as 'investigating' at night. They could be our English don.



Vote: YaropolkIf I may - why?

[Crazed Rabbit]

He's someone to consider: Sigurd.

I've heard of some investigations of him. Now, this was the second investigation, which meant it had more info than the first investigation. But it didn't say he was protecting anybody, as his first investigation did.

And what do we have this night? A killing by the maven crew members, which didn't happen the first night. Maybe he was busy killing and not investigating. :stare:

That leads me to wonder just what the Quartermaster was up to last night. Perhaps he can explain it to us.

CR

[GeneralHankerchief]

Louis: If it's an unsuccessful two-man kill, the participants receive nothing. If it's a successful two-man kill, that means it was done either by the British or the Maven crew. The Mavens get the 40 gold split up, the British don't care about gold so they don't get anything.

[scottishranger]

YAARRR the quartermaster of all scallywags. I hope it tis not true



Might I also ask why Lord Winter is voting for Yaropolk?

[Askthepizzaguy]

YARRRR.... what if... every able man here were to participate in a two-man attack on someone? That should account for their actions and narrow down the suspect list, which would mean that the Brits and the Mavens would have to refrain from killing, lest they help us narrow down the suspects. Or would that put too large a crimp in their plans?

If this is a question of mechanics, the three-tiered investigation systems works like so, with a few wrinkles:

1. What you were doing that night
2. Susceptibility (and only that)
3. True affiliation

[Sasaki Kojiro]

That explains sigurd then. And pizza, I don't see any posts by Seamus for the past 3 days.

[Crazed Rabbit]

Ah, I see. Still, I am suspicious. Sigurd, excellent mafia player that he is, would know those rules. He'd also be likely to know that he would most likely be investigated starting the first night, so that he could participate in evil mafioso activities on night two.

What have you been up to, Sigurd? You've been rather non-talkative through PMs and in the thread. Something in my gut makes me rather suspicious of you.

It should be noted that it's supremely silly to vote someone for bandwaggoning in this game. That would be saying there's 20 or so mafia, there's been tons of bandwagon votes.

You don't sound like a pirate, mate. And I'm not even referrin' to yer woeful lack of sailor talk. I can't account fer what ye be up to last night, and the way ye be playin' the game smells of havin' a yeller streak runnin' down yer back. What are you hidin', you landlubber? My original complaint was his abstain vote. Add that to the senseless bandwagon on Lord Winter, and a guarded reply to private communications. The problem I have with it is that he seems to be trying to avoid controversy at all costs.

What is the case on Sigurd besides he didn't do a night action last night? I thought GH said a second investagation wouldn't reveal that sort of information anyway.

Back to proper conversation of the game?

This entire thing on sigurd seems a bit placed.

The investigation gives nothing, and we've got your feeling?

You arent confirmed town CR. More than likely you are, but even so.

British didnt kill last night, but recruited. I can't imagine it takes 3 to recruit. probably only one, like the writeup wasnt it?

So: 1 to recruit, 1 to probably check for more recruits and...HMMM.

You? Sigurd? (I think seamus is the other position? cant remember)

My money would be on you, if I had to pick. Only because sigurd was doing protections and i dont know who the third is

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I don't really suspect CR or sigurd because they volunteered for a position which was bound to get them investigated.

[TinCow]

I hereby declare this the least enlightening phase of any mafia game I have ever played. It is curiously like being hit in the head with a sledgehammer, and then being forced to watch a Michael Bay movie.

First of all, it doesn't take three to recruit for the British. But if I read the rules right, the British can't kill and recruit in the same night (with their initial three players).

Secondly, I suspected Sigurd of being a Maven crew member, not being British.

No, they would have ended with the US Armed Forces owning everyone and then canoodling with their wives.

I must say that would have been better than the more recent three...

[Sigurd]

I am on my way to Stockholm... Using Cellphone. I will be doin some more readin when time permits.

[Joooray]

I'm not too convinced that the hit on taka was indeed made by an undermanned town vig group. As far as I know, the rules don't say anything about if newly recruited members of the maven or the british might not be able to perform an action for their new masters the same night they were recruited. Also the cause of it's failure might lie with other causes, the write-up at least doesn't say anything about some persons missing. I know the chronology of the write up speaks against it, but maybe that is something to consider.

When it comes to voting I'm not content with the way it is going right now. We already lost two phases with wrong actions, so might I ask for some focus of the town here. Even if it is unpiraty. :sweatdrop:

Anyway, from what I've heard of Sigurd I don't think the suspicion on him is in order, I of course don't know for fact, but it is just a feeling I have. The case against A1 Unit seems to have a bit basis, but I'm not sure either.
All in all IMHO we have some real reasons to be suspicious about the people Diana presented, not say anything might be caused by a lack of time, but has also a scummy feel about it.
So I'll Vote: Khazaar.

If anybody has a better case against someone of those 5 or anybody else, let me know.

[CountArach]

FoS: Anyone who voted for Sigurd

Simply placing a couple of votes on someone to pressure them is fine by me, but I think the way this bandwagonned and just exploded is ridiculous. Voting for anyone simply because your Captain (Who, I might add, is not a confirmed pro-town role) told you to is a great way to lynch someone who isn't on your side without annoying anyone who stands a chance of living the round and also a good way to avoid saying something substantive that might be held against you.

Vote: SSNeoperestroika - Third on the Sigurd bandwagon by my count.

[Andres]

So, why is Sigurd being lynched?

If I understand it well:

a) he was investigated N1 and result was that he was doing protection
b) he was investigated again N2 and there was nothing about protection; GH explained that second investigation reveals susceptibility (sp?), so it's normal that it doesn't say something about the night action Sig was performing;
c) CR says: Sigurd probably knew that and used the opportunity to kill on N2, because he's a good player;
d) Sigurd is afk because of RL and can't tell us about his night actions.

Is thát the case which warrants a bandwagon on Sigurd?

Really?

:inquisitive:

Big FoS Crazed Rabbit.

If you're oh so certain about Sigurd, dear Crazed Rabbit then this is the deal: if Sigurd's autopsy reveals him to be innocent, it's mutiny and you'll walk the plank. I hope you like sharks.

[Diana Abnoba]

Doesn't it state in the rules, that the Captain can replace either officer at any time, and obtain a new one? If you are so worried Captain then replace Sigurd. Also (check to make sure I'm right) don't they walk the plank if you replace them?

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

You know, since Sigurd has been investigated twice, all this rush to lynch him over a mild suspicion is no big deal, the subsequent investigation will yield his full loyalty and affiliations.

The case against pevergreen is better than the one on Sigurd. Sigurd is getting lynched because of a detective result that tells us nothing about his guilt or innocence and the assumption that he used that to kill.

Btw, it wasn't a very good idea to tell Sigurd about the investigations on him already, before getting conclusive evidence (through a 3d investigation).
