Daggers in the Night [Concluded]

[johnhughthom]

No, where I told you I was the Ancient One and Sasaki and ATPG were my underlings.

Didn't you hear the 39 yawns?

[Diana Abnoba]

Here is one for you :dozey: :snore: :zzz:

[Beskar]

Easy game for me then.

[Double A]

Butterfree! Use your Sleep Powder on Beskiemon!

[Diamondeye]

1: Kagemusha. You are awesome.

2:

Easy game for me then.


If that was an exact call of the mafia team, props if you win.

3:

Butterfree! Use your Sleep Powder on Beskiemon!

Double Awesome.

[The Stranger]

[... - GH]

[The Stranger]

obviously i cannot be vampire because i was asleep. buuuuut!!!! some people such as diana abnoba, who claims to be the goddess of hunting pink necks were not asleeeepp!!! sssoooooooo SHE MUST BE VAMPIRE OR EVIL SLAVE MINION!

[The Stranger]

woah. move the pace!!

[pevergreen]

woah. move the pace!!

You talk too much.

Can we lynch the innocent TS before the guilty Sasaki?

[Double A]

[... - GH]

[TinCow]

You talk too much.

Can we lynch the innocent TS before the guilty Sasaki?

Yes.

[Scienter]

Secura is the Naib Advisor... I keep reading it as naab, which is a way of saying n00b. :laugh4:

Naib reminds me of the Dune novels, I keep expecting huge worms to show up.

[naut]

[... - GH]

[The Stranger]

Yes.

no. or maybe yes... being townie in this game is boring. i bet having a special role though is totally awesome... i begged andres to give me a special role, i even volunteered to baby sit... but nooooooo... i still get a stupid townie role

[Askthepizzaguy]

no. or maybe yes... being townie in this game is boring. i bet having a special role though is totally awesome... i begged andres to give me a special role, i even volunteered to baby sit... but nooooooo... i still get a stupid townie role

At this rate I believe The Stranger has a joker role.

I am offering the mafia this: If you kill The Stranger, I promise to say nothing beyond my vote for the rest of the game, on my honor.

[Renata]

Easy game for me then.

Nah, we'll lynch you all just on principle.

[Greyblades]

At this rate I believe The Stranger has a joker role.


Maybe he has an actor role?
I remember seeing one in a simpsons themed mafia game run a year or two back, I think it was one of yours, and one of the roles won if they died but didnt take the town with them.

[The Stranger]

why does everyone want me dead?

[pevergreen]

Maybe he has an actor role?
I remember seeing one in a simpsons themed mafia game run a year or two back, I think it was one of yours, and one of the roles won if they died but didnt take the town with them.

Joker/Actor same thing.

I don't believe Andres would do it. A few people are opposed to them, following the trend set by none other than the amazing pever.

TS is just being TS.

[Greyblades]

Joker/Actor same thing.

No it isnt.
The joker is a role that when lynched ends the game wiping out the town.
Whereas the actor just gets a victory when lynched and everyone else can continue the game.

[pevergreen]

:shrug:

I doubt there is one. Plus, any large game that can end by one person getting lynched is a game I will not participate in. Andres is a higher quality host than including roles that want to be lynched.

[Andres]

There is one and only one secret role.

To avoid all confusion and misunderstanding, I can give you one (and only one) hint about this secret role:


:drummer:


It is...


:drummer:


SECRET !! :laugh4: :devil:

[Renata]

Hee. That one was worth it even when you knew it was coming.

[pevergreen]

Bed time for pever.

Remember, next lynch is TS, then Sasaki

[KukriKhan]

Thank you for all the votes in my favour. :bow:

I have submitted my first order for the evening to Andres; I will reveal it, if desired, once the day phase begins.

I take that as you, Dear Leader, soliciting advice from your supporters. I agree with Pizza-man: if I were you at this phase of the game, I'd keep my cards close to the chest, though I admire your desire to be transparent.

[Kagemusha]

Ok. So after last ´days elections things have calmed down a bit. Here are few comments from locals. Starting with Quote from johnhughthom: "Didn't you hear the 39 yawns? " Also another sharp comment about the current hectic situation came from Diana Abnoba: "Here is one for you :dozey: :snore: :zzz:".

Other then that the marginal groups were blaming media for their minimal support in the last elections, which is nothing new coming from people like Romanic, whom we know nothing about,but still we should give him space in the news. Here is the statement of the marginal candidate: "Not a word about me in the news. I'm insulted. I was part of this election! I had people voting for me! ".

Well sure there was someone that uses small letters to start with his name, but other then that we dont know anything about the agenda, personality or even favourite icecream of the said candidate. Mr. Romanic, if you have something worth telling to the public please do so and we promise to give you more spotlight.

We also had some other people with problems like Scienter who commented: "I keep expecting huge worms to show up. " Well honey, there are medicines for that.

Last one of our male resident known to support the scary knife wielding mask man had some grievances with his social life. Psychonaut was worried that his invite to Lesbian bondage Club down in Al Jaheer had possibly been lost in the mail.Quote: "Where. Was. My. INVITE!".

Do not worry as the help is near. In order to help the non existant social life of our esteemed audience. Sahara News will be providing a hand grenade to Psychonaut. Just pull the pin and 72 virgins will be yours in no time!

This show was presented to you by Saharan News, sponsored by Abdullahs Camel dung CO. " Bit smelly, but it will keep you warm during the freezing winter nights."

[Renata]

Anyone who kills or votes to lynch Kagemusha in the first five days loses at life.

Well, unless he does something *really* scummy.

[The Stranger]

FOS at Pever, you want me lynched too badly. for no good reason at all.

[Secura]

Do not worry as the help is near. In order to help the non existant social life of our esteemed audience. Sahara News will be providing a hand grenade to Psychonaut. Just pull the pin and 72 virgins will be yours in no time!

Hahahahahaha, awesome. <3

[The Stranger]

soooooo...

whatcha dooiing?

[Diana Abnoba]

@ Kagemusha

Your the best- love it- so funny.

[Diana Abnoba]

why does everyone want me dead?

Please read your own sig for the answer.

[The Stranger]

lame. and no good reason at all. dont give me smartskirt answers!!! i want the truth! and i shall find it even if i have to kill all the silver daggers

[Double A]

lame. and no good reason at all. dont give me smartskirt answers!!! i want the truth! and i shall find it even if i have to kill all the silver daggers

She's right, you're talking waaaay too much. More than which is ok for even me.

Night 1

https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Daggers%20in%20the%20Night/Alhambramoon.jpg


autolycus didn’t know why he was here and what he was supposed to do. He, the most unlikely vampire hunter of all times. A man who, at the age of 30, still very much prefered playing silly games over the serious work of hunting vampires. And they expected him to catch the mightiest vampire?

Playful, youthful, singing and dancing through live, autolycus felt more like a happy child than a serious vampire hunter. He was pretty sure nobody would miss him.

Walking through the narrow streets of Granada, looking at the magnificent Alhambra in the moonlight, he shrugged. There were much better things in live than hunting vampires.

He had his resignation letter well prepared:

“ Dear Naib,
“ I don’t want to hunt vampires. I want to play games! I’m sure you don’t need me to save the world. Besides, I
" very much prefer games in which you have to conquer the world!
“ I think my time is much better spent playing games, so it's probably best for me to just leave.
“ Good luck to you and have fun finding vampires!
" Yours truly,
“ autolycus, retired vampire hunter.

He nodded to himself. That should do. A nice, short letter. He kept walking through the city, looking for a mailbox to post his official resignation letter.

Unfortunately for him, he never got to post his beautiful and well thought out letter. From out of nowhere, a poisoned silver dagger floated through the air and burried itself deeply in the flesh of his neck.

A shady figure kneeled next to the body and took back the dagger.

“I’m so sorry, but I had no choice.”

The shady figure left the scene.


***

https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Daggers%20in%20the%20Night/Sacromontenight.jpg

Yaropolk was ready for this.

He was a true vampire hunter and a child of his time. Silver daggers were all nice and dandy, but why limit yourself to archaic weaponry, when there were machine guns and rocket launchers!

Carrying silver bullets and silver rockets was no problem for this muscled man, made out of steel. Working out was his life! He was born to kill vampires! He was ready for this battle and he was sure to enter history as the man who saved the world! The Rambo and Chuck Norris of all vampire hunters! And above all: tough and masculin!

Those ancient vampire wusses with their inferior skills were no match for this “Nouveau Chasseur de Vampires”. Yes, French. Being a child of your time doesn’t mean you can’t have style or class.

But no silver rockets tonight. No need to carry a large arsenal here, in Sacromonte at night. Two magnum .357 guns with silver bullets, five silver daggers and his superior martial arts skills would be more than enough. Yaropolk was going to the discoteca, but first he would dance the Zambra at one of the many famous caves.

During his first days here in Granada, he had noticed many good looking women. An excellent place to show his well trained body and his superior dancing skills!

Still walking down the streets of Sacromonte, he didn't notice the cloaked person following him.

When he entered a very narrow street, the cloaked figure jumped forwards and hit Yaropolk on the head with a wooden club.

"Aw! That hurts!"

The cloaked man ignored the complaints and hit Yaro a second time, in the stomache.

"This is not fair! You attacked me from behind! And you're hurting me!", Yaro said, his upset and not very masculin high voice trembling with fear.

For a brief moment, the cloaked figure looked down at his victim and then hit him plain in the face with an iron fist.

Yaropolk started to cry. "Boohoohoo! This hurts. I no longer want to be a vampire hunter! Boohoohooo!"

His attacker started shaking his head for a brief moment. Then he unsheethed a silver blade to seperate Yaropolks' head from his body.

The cloaked figure hastily disappeared into the darkness.

Day 2 - Generalife

https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Daggers%20in%20the%20Night/P9150305.jpg

The Silver Daggers arrived in the Generalife. Most of them fresh and eager to start a new day. Others were exhausted, namely those residing in the same hotel as the weird Dutch brother who had been talking and yelling for the entire night. While they were all waiting for the Naib to start the proceedings, some already knew who they wanted to lynch...

Naib Secura looked around and saw everybody was present.

"The situation is worse than we thought, brothers and sisters. Two of our members have been found dead in the streets of Granada. To prove their ruthlesness, our adversaries have even killed a brother who was about to retire from his duties."

Secura paused and then continued.

"It is now clear beyond doubt that we have been infiltrated."

She sighed and sat down.

The Brotherhood started to talk...

Yes, my avatar is very offended!

Hi Double A. This is your old pal Beefy talking.
Last night, I saw you and two ladies in a pub.
Where was I you ask?
Well I was sitting in the corner, drinking alone.

So the heart of the story.. If you get two, share one to your friends. Even if you prefer it Double.
Cheers.

[Double A]

Dude, I know that's made up, but it made me cry inside...

[Secura]

autolycus was an odd kill choice for the mafia... consider the following post:


Some things have come up in RL, and I'm about to start running a game over at Civfanatics (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=361811&page=4)(speaking of which, still looking for three more players), so I think I'm going to have to drop in favor of one of the reserves.

He was essentially requesting replacement or a WOG... so why use a kill on him so soon? Fear of who might replace him?

It's an odd move in my book.

[Beskar]

I was doing the game a favour. Next night, I am getting Diamondeyes.

[Double A]

Naughty joker-Beskie.

Maybe they wanted to make the game "fair?"

[Askthepizzaguy]

Simple, Autolycus was the least likely to ever get lynched.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

i came into the thread saw an active discussion about kinky sex, promptly checked the website agian, and just as promptly deleted my history off a reflex


Vote: Centurion1 - Random.org told me so.

or maybe a sneaky little plan is forming with a sneak vote to possibly push me over to be lynched.

am i paranoid? yes.

vote: DA for not being done with the latest book yet he needs to take some time off to finish it.

[Secura]

How is that an odd move :confused:

Why bother when he could've been WOG'd or whatever, that's my point. ¬_¬

[Askthepizzaguy]

Why bother when he could've been WOG'd or whatever, that's my point. ¬_¬

More likely to be replaced, maybe.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

There were like 5 people who said they'd replace.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Vote: Csargo

A necessary move, and this is early enough where it wouldn't make a difference unless he's guilty.

[pevergreen]

I'll just leave this here.

I missed it the first time, this quote saw it.


Vote: The Stranger

I expect better.

[Chaotix]

Vote: Csargo

And I still haven't gotten a role PM.

[Askthepizzaguy]

And I still haven't gotten a role PM.

I assume you got the "game is starting" notice. That's sent out to everyone so Andres doesn't have to send each individual person a PM, he can just inform everyone the game has started, and basic townies don't need a role PM. And those with a Role PM will already have one.

It's been discussed already in-thread, so you either haven't read the thread or you're acting.

[Romanic]

So people are voting Czargo because he won Andres' last game? ~:confused: This is some metagaming bs yes? Shouldn't we focus on this game and not what happened in other games? Or should we vote: Sasaki because he is surely a sith in the current Star Wars game? [I don't know really, I'm just making this example]

I thought lynching someone for metagaming reasons was to be frowned upon.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Who told you that metagaming was frowned upon? Only certain aspects.

Csargo is being lynched because we want a bandwagon rather than a pile of random votes. <--useless

[Romanic]

Who told you that metagaming was frowned upon? Only certain aspects.

Csargo is being lynched because we want a bandwagon rather than a pile of random votes. <--useless

Because otherwise the same people would always be lynched first, and it does not seem fair. If someone is a good mafia player, the group reasoning could be that we can't take a chance with him and always kill him early. That's a sad way to look at things, and a good way to lose a player. Maybe I'm mixing some aspects of metagaming, which one is good and which is not, but I think my previous example show why that metagaming decision would not be nice.

[TinCow]

And I still haven't gotten a role PM.

Really? I did and it is awesome! I feel sorry for you, what with the lack of awesomeness and all.

[Double A]

Who told you that metagaming was frowned upon? Only certain aspects.

Csargo is being lynched because we want a bandwagon rather than a pile of random votes. <--useless

Oh, good.

unvote: Beefy, vote: Sasaki

I've always wanted to do that.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

But this is a game where the godfather picked the disciples. One can't just turn a blind eye to that.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Csargo is a good player when he plays, but sometimes he just goes inactive for long stretches, and that just provides cover for lurker scum. He's also got staying power if he doesn't get lynched early because he lurks.

So, he's both an excellent recruit, and an excellent lynch. And if you are going to catch a scum, you'll do it the way we did it in Mafia IX, which is random wagons.

[Chaotix]

Really? I did and it is awesome! I feel sorry for you, what with the lack of awesomeness and all.

Oooh, can I see it? Please? Pretty please with whipped cream and a cherry on top?

[Kagemusha]

And Goood Morning from Sharan news! Weather is sunny but bit on the cold side,+60 celsius in the shade. So people put some clothes on or you will catch a cold.

And now to our main news. Murder! Murder, m.u.r.d.e.r has happened in our lovely small community. Bloody,gory,terrible and unkind events took place last night, which resulted in death of not one, but two people.
First a young man called, autolycus was found dagger buried in his chest. A seemingly troubled individual, with history of WOW addiction and troubled social life, was found with a note in his hand. We dont have the full text as of yet, but the following fragments paint a sad picture of this young man:

"I want to play games! ",
" very much prefer games in which you have to conquer the world!"
"I think my time is much better spent playing games, "

So clearly a troubled individual with gaming addiction and megalomaniac tendencies.A suicide in this case is according to our experts the most propably cause of death.

Yet another individual called, Yaropolk was found decapitated and severely beaten with a blunt object.While suicide should not be counted out as cause of death, there are some minor evidence that indeed this was homicide. According to our experts. The malevolent beating most propably took place after the decapitation, so our message to the possible killer is the old rule of thumb: Dont beat a dead Yaropolk!

After the reveal of the gruesome acts of last night our eloquent Naib, Secura took quick action and we can expect good old traditional lynch to happen before the sun sets this evening. Currently many of the same people that were having large support in the last Naib election are seemingly gathering support from the crowd again. Most prominently, The Stranger is garnering lot of support for his lynch. Here is the current tally:

Csargo 5, (Yaseikhaan, Sasaki Kojiro, The Stranger, Askthepizzaguy, Chaotix)
Askthepizzaguy 1, (Ibn- Khaldun)
General Hankerchief 1, (Renata)
Niklas 2, (Beskar, Beefy187)
The Stranger 4, (Tincow, The Flax, YLC, pevergreen)
Sasaki Kojiro 1,(Double A)
Centurion1 2, (Romanic, Atheotes)

The top contenders to win the vote are mr Csargo and every and each time the illustrous, The stranger. If you two could comment to the Saharan news. What has made this vote so successfull for you and how are you planning to keep your lead right to the end?

Last some comments about last nights murders have been given already by some of our most esteemed members. Here is what Sasaki Kojiro thought: "Lets try that again". Beefy187 put it like this: "I do have my reasons.", which he continued: "If you get two, share one to your friends. Even if you prefer it Double.", Romanic commented: "It makes me feel important!", Double A opened up and said: "but it made me cry inside...", last Tincow explained: "I did and it is awesome!"

We will be back with more news as the situation unravels. Good morning and Good Bless!

[Double A]

Words fail to describe how awesome that was.

[Diana Abnoba]

The Gods of random.org said Vote: The Stranger

[Sasaki Kojiro]

The Gods of random.org said Vote: The Stranger

Sorry, but when the gods of random.org tell someone to put a person in a tie for the lead, they also tell me to vote that person every round for the rest of the game.

There are a lot more votes coming, it is not the end of the phase. But you do what you must, my vote doesn't change because of your threat Sasaki.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Sorry, but when the gods of random.org tell someone to put a person in a tie for the lead, they also tell me to vote that person every round for the rest of the game.

Oooh I think you have a secret admirer, Diana. ~:flirt:

I have no choice in the matter :(

That's just what happens, all completely random. I use the generator each time but it always comes up with that person.

[Beskar]

The lords of random move in mysterious ways.

[Methos]

Personally, I'd think the godfather would pick Sasaki, just because he always looks scummy to me......, but I'll go with Vote: Csargo.

[Niklas]

random.org says vote: The Stranger. Got two votes, Sasaki? :clown:

[Secura]

There are a lot more votes coming, it is not the end of the phase. But you do what you must, my vote doesn't change because of your threat Sasaki.

We need more people who take such a stance. :3

[The Stranger]

kinda weird that all the random .org votes say the stranger... hmm... hmm...

there isnt even a case... just so you know, if youre lynching me to get me to shut up, it wont work. ill continue to spam contribute with useful posts and sharp insights.

is there any proof that csargo is scum?

[Askthepizzaguy]

kinda weird that all the random .org votes say the stranger... hmm... hmm...

Random.org, she is a fickle lady. Sometimes she loves you, and other times, she loves you to death.

[The Stranger]

andres, can u be a bit more precise about the deadline of this phase? not +- 24 hours... but exact time plz.

[Andres]

andres, can u be a bit more precise about the deadline of this phase? not +- 24 hours... but exact time plz.

I'm sorry, but RL doesn't allow me to give an "exact time". +/- 24 hours is the best I can do.

[The Stranger]

no i dont mean the write up. i mean the deadline for votes. u can say when it closes. otherwise well get alot of fuss about which vote is over the deadline and which one isnt.

the voting will close at that time regardless of whether you will be present or not.

[pevergreen]

He said he can't give one.

Though he may set one.

[Captain Blackadder]

vote Chaotix

seems like he was acting before with the claim of not having recieved a pm despite everyone reciving a note to say that the game had started and many of us would have no pm.

[Andres]

no i dont mean the write up. i mean the deadline for votes. u can say when it closes. otherwise well get alot of fuss about which vote is over the deadline and which one isnt.

the voting will close at that time regardless of whether you will be present or not.

I guess I could do that.

Voting will end within exactly 8 hours 2 minutes starting from the timestamp of this post.

[TheFlax]

I don't want my joke vote to end up killing The Stranger...

Unovte, Vote: Abstain

[TinCow]

I don't want my joke vote to end up killing The Stranger...

Unovte, Vote: Abstain

Why do you care about sparing TS? We have to lynch someone today, why not him?

[The Stranger]

why not you then?

i kinda looks like ur volunteering to be bandwagoned to me!

[TheFlax]

Why do you care about sparing TS? We have to lynch someone today, why not him?

Usually I vote No Lynch when I can, since I couldn't I went for a joke vote, but now that they lynch might happen I know I'm going to feel bad about in the long run. You stated yourself in your Rubicon commentary that I "did not disappoint" by voting No Lynch on day 1, I'm usually squeamish like that about day 1 lynching.

[Yaropolk]

Well so much for that, at least I got a new member title from it

[Beefy187]

Why do you care about sparing TS? We have to lynch someone today, why not him?

We could let him live because TS havn't played mafia for a while and because we're nice bunch who treats returnees well

[TinCow]

We could let him live because TS havn't played mafia for a while and because we're nice bunch who treats returnees well

Returnee? How long has it been since he's been in a game?

[Renata]

unvote, vote Csargo

I doubt TS is mafia. At least let him be night-killed.

[The Stranger]

Returnee? How long has it been since he's been in a game?

a year i think... since i got psychopathed/serialkilled in CAPO III

[TinCow]

a year i think... since i got psychopathed/serialkilled in CAPO III

Capo III was six months ago. That's not long enough to win my sympathy, sorry.

[Askthepizzaguy]

If he could calm down a bit, down to my level of hyperactivity, then maybe he can be redeemed. :snobby:


The Stranger- 48
Askthepizzaguy- 26

That's totally unnatural. There's only room for one Pizzaguy, not Pizzaguy and another Pizzaguy who is like two Pizzaguys rolled in one all by himself. I can't take it, I'll shoot myself.

[The Stranger]

Capo III was six months ago. That's not long enough to win my sympathy, sorry.

capo wasnt 6 months ago... it was when i came back from my trip... around august. more like 9 months ago...

[ULC]

a year i think... since i got psychopathed/serialkilled in CAPO III

Which, of course was totally your own fault, do to the same behavior you're displaying here. I am detecting a pattern here...

[The Stranger]

whatever... there are no rules against annoying people in mafia games :P nor are there any rules against hyperactive activity. besides i know there are no serial killers in this game... so i know im not making the same mistake as in capo!

[johnhughthom]

besides i know there are no serial killers in this game...

Oh really?


(one and only one) Secret Role

[atheotes]

whatever... there are no rules against annoying people in mafia games :P nor are there any rules against hyperactive activity. besides i know there are no serial killers in this game... so i know im not making the same mistake as in capo!
There is no need for a serial killer if you annoy too many people :tongue2:

[The Stranger]

nah only if i annoy the wrong people :P

[GeneralHankerchief]

Leave Stranger alive, at least for a round.

Vote: Csar

[Jolt]

Can anyone give me a rundown over what has/is happened/happening in the game?

[Jolt]

Vote: Abstain

[The Stranger]

check kagemusha's posts.

[Scienter]

Kagemusha's write ups are hilarious!

I'll Vote:Csargo unless he drops by and convincingly defends himself.

[Peasant Phill]

Vote: Chaotix because ... well aren't allowed to say something stupid in the beginning of the game and get a way with it.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm, I was going to say TS was suspicious for being nervous about the possibility of being lynched. But the most nervous thing he did was ask for the time left publicly, and I think mafia usually ask privately. Still tempting though...

[KukriKhan]

The dart board bids that I

vote: spL1tp3r50naL1ty

[The Stranger]

i wonder who died? and made SASAKI boss???

[Sasaki Kojiro]

i wonder who died?

TS needs to die tomorrow. This comment is scummy, and looking back, Renata's comment is scummy too.

[The Stranger]

lol... u are so funny. why is that scummy? my post was intended ironic.

i think you are scummy wanting to see random scumminess everywhere! trying to pressure people into lynching innocent townies. i think its time for you to be put on the spot.

[Secura]

i think you are scummy wanting to see random scumminess everywhere! trying to pressure people into lynching innocent townies. i think its time for you to be put on the spot.

That is how Sasaki plays... it's his endearing trait, like how Pizza talks and talks and talks or Beskar tells everyone that they're making a mistake. S'what makes mafia so fun! :P

Anyways, I have sent Andres the manner of execution, so I guess he's getting to writing it up now.

My name is "Eany meany miney mo"? :inquisitive:

Day 2 - Conclusion

https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Daggers%20in%20the%20Night/P9150330.jpg


The day started with fierce debates. Some were more talkative than others... Some were deemed too talkative. Others refused to talk because some were too talkative.

Most just listened to the stand-up comedy radio broadcasts.

The day was nearing its' end when the votes were counted.

A quiet man, sitting in a dark corner lifted his head up in amazement when his name was mentioned. He looked a bit confused.

The Naib looked at him and said softly and gentle: "Csargo. Can you come forward, please? You know this has to be done."

In complete silence, Csargo stood up, his facial expression emotionless. He bowed for his Naib and waited patiently for what was going to happen.

Several minutes passed and nothing happened. Some daggers started to cough. The Naib seemed to wait. When more people started to cough, the Naib just turned around and started to read the interesting magazine "Good Housekeeping".

The daggers were very curious to see what their Naib had in mind for the lynch. Surely, this was going to be something special, the inspiration coming from "Good Housekeeping" and all...

Secura looked up from the magazine and switched on the television to watch a cooking program and "Extreme Make-over".

A few daggers grew impatiently. Others were wondering what this was all about? Would she housekeep the lynchee? Or would she cook him after an extreme make over? The suspense was becoming unbearable.

"Are you going to kill him through pure boredom?" one asked jokingly, but most were eagerly looking forward to the spectacle.

The Naib stayed calm, switched off the tele and started to read "Womens' Weekly", followed by "Cosmopolitan", "Vogue" and "InStyle". Sipping at her coffee, she looked at other interesting magazines...

"Hey! Are you still going to execute me or what?" Csargo said, so outraged at the lack of attention that he finally decided to speak.

Secura started to blush and stared at her feet.

"Well... Ehm, I'm sorry to say so, but I didn't prepare..."

"See! That's what you get when you put a woman in power! Cooking programs and fashion magazines, but doing some actual work, oh no! Bah!"

"Watch your tongue, you misogynist pathetic excuse for a caveman," a female dagger yelled.

"Ehm, Csargo, is it ok if I would just slice your throat?"

"I was hoping for something more exciting, but yeah, whatever," Csargo answered, hardly managing to hide his disappointment.

Secura stood up, drew here dagger and pierced it through Csargo's throat, killing him mercifully within seconds.

A man coughed. "Ehm, Naib, shouldn't you put a wooden stake through his heart or decapicate him or something like that, since, well, you know, we are looking for a vampire."

Secura blushed again.

"Oh yes, silly me. Quick before he stands up again!"

She took a wooden stake and a hammer and finished the job, be it a bit clumsy. The daggers sitting in front, didn't appreciate being covered in blood.

Embarrased, she looked at the daggers. "I'm so sorry, I'm still new at this. I promise I'll do better tomorrow." She paused. "Assuming he wasn't our vampire, of course." She giggled softly and left the cave rather quickly.

The gathered daggers felt a bit uncomfortable. One by one, they left the cave.

It's now night. PM's please. Night will last for +/- 24 hours.

:bow:

[Renata]

TS needs to die tomorrow. This comment is scummy, and looking back, Renata's comment is scummy too.

:yes: It's always scummy to say you think someone's a townie on day one. Glad you noticed.

Edit: also -- hee.

[Secura]

Nevermind, read the PM.

[Centurion1]

great our great naib giggles like a schoolgirl........

grrr fear us!!!!!

[The Stranger]

u dont have to tell me. i know very well how sasaki plays! :P i remember capo 1 forever... that damn wolf tricked the entire town. and i had him, but no one believed me :S

[Askthepizzaguy]

Suddenly I feel disenfranchised for being a big dirty hairy caveman in this female-dominated society.

If anyone needs me, I'll be painting my fingernails and having a good cry.

[The Stranger]

can i go with you to the bathroom?

[Diana Abnoba]

Oh, come on Andres, your making us women look bad. 2010 is the time of your game, we can be bad:daisy: too.

[Secura]

I requested a different method of execution but my PM was too late and Andres had already written something else... so that's what we got.

Sorry, ladies. :/

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh, come on Andres, your making us women look bad. 2010 is the time of your game, we can be bad:daisy: too.

Not if you don't send in bad :daisy: writeups on time.

[Double A]

The lords of random move in mysterious ways.

Since when was I a part of this conversation?


i wonder who died? and made SASAKI boss???

TS is quickly falling down the hole of joker-dom.

[Beskar]

I would love to see Secura act in the write-up in real-life. Giggling like a little girl.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I realized earlier while away that Renata is mafia. More tomorrow.

[Renata]

This should be good.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

What do you mean?

[Renata]

It's been a dog's age since I've faced any sort of real pressure in one of these games. I need the practice.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

So you meant "this should be fun" or "this should be good practice"?

[Centurion1]

she means shes getting bored of mafia and wants to be lynched. i say we oblige the lady.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I realized earlier while away that Renata is mafia. More tomorrow.

Sasaki does this every game, if not multiple times per game. Short posts declaring someone is guilty, with absolute conviction.

If I were to guess, he's doing that so he can establish a pattern so when he's actually mafia, that's the most he would have to contribute. Pretty nifty stuff, and better than nothing for a townie strategy, so I'm not complaining.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I hardly ever do it as mafia.

If you can't see that Renata is mafia, you are probably using your eyes instead of your gut.

[Beskar]

I like this WIFOM talk between my two minions, ATPG and Sasaki.

No one will ever suspect they are working together under me.

[Chaotix]

Hey, I still didn't get a role PM.

Oh, and about Renata- I got this investigation result last night...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Lucky thing you sent in an investigation, not even knowing you were a cop :p

[Splitpersonality]

Hey, I still didn't get a role PM.

Oh, and about Renata- I got this investigation result last night...

So you're a roleless cop/townie/queen?


I've got my eye on you.... :stare:

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Do you really, split?

[Kagemusha]

Aaand Good morning from Saharan news! Todays forecast says that we have slight Sandstorms and possibility of snow is rather pathetic. Before we go into our headlines. We would like to announce that the high council of clerics has deemed our show as appropriate content and thus you can freely listen to us, without fear of Sharia court.

This mornings headline is that Yesterday evening mr.Csargo was at the receiving end of a dagger. We couldnt get a comment from him before or after the lynch, but it would seem like our gorgeus Naib, Secura was able to do a good job, while somewhat messy according to some of the witness.

After the evenings execution was finished and the lifeless body of Csargo exhumed. Some of our audience commented the lynch with following comments. ATPG commented: "I'll be painting my fingernails and having a good cry. " The Stranger replied to his statement: "can i go with you to the bathroom? "

So according to our experts, yet another sex scandal might be coming towards ATPG´s rear end of things. Our Naib´s comment was: "Sorry, ladies. :/ " Which is according to our experts a clear indication that mr.Csargo knew his ways around women. While Beskar was Giggling like a little girl, when he heard Secura´s comment. To this Sasaki Kojiro gave a mysterious comment: "I hardly ever do it".

Enough of last days lynch. It´s a new night and Saharan news is always developing. So starting from this night we would like to announce a new competition: Who´s Next.

The rules are simple. During each night any of the audience can guess who will be the next days lynch. To those who come up with the right answer, fabulous prizes will be available: So pick up the phone and guess who will be winning the next lynch vote!For now Good morning and good bless!

This was Saharan news. Sponsored by Hussein airlines." Who needs planes, when all you need is a magic carpet!"

[Splitpersonality]

Do you really, split?

I will tomorrow when I see him in school.

[Methos]

If you can't see that Renata is mafia, you are probably using your eyes instead of your gut.

So you're saying that if we don't find Renata scummy, then its because we're attracted to her? :inquisitive:

[Askthepizzaguy]

So you're saying that if we don't find Renata scummy, then its because we're attracted to her? :inquisitive:

Sasaki does seem very focused on all the ladies in this game.

Ah, perhaps we've found his achilles' heel after all this time: attractive womenfolk! Could it have been so simple? :wall:

If I had known it was so easy, I would have changed my name to Askthepizzagal and started sporting a princess avatar like TheFlax. ~:flirt:

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I'm pretty sure Renata's avatar is a man in a whig. btw, don't read too much into that with your theory pizza.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I'm pretty sure Renata's avatar is a man in a whig (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig_Party_%28United_States%29). btw, don't read too much into that with your theory pizza.

Hmmm... Whig party was dissolved in 1856, before women could legally vote. So, a "man in a whig" might be quite the revelation.

Maybe this is more your taste Sasaki. Enjoy:

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/EPYC/sexiest-man-michael-phelps.png

[Beskar]

I wondered why Sasaki's avatar had that cheeky grin.

[Choxorn]

The rules are simple. During each night any of the audience can guess who will be the next days lynch. To those who come up with the right answer, fabulous prizes will be available: So pick up the phone and guess who will be winning the next lynch vote!For now Good morning and good bless!


I guess that it will be Jolt.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Okay, I get to share a funny anecdote now.

When searching for the above picture on the interwebs, I used yahoo with the "safe search" on (for obvious reasons). Then, I showed Diana the picture and the above post about Sasaki for a laugh, and showed her how I cropped the original picture to make it more org-friendly. Then she wanted to see the original which is slightly more risque, and then she wanted me to turn the "safe search" off to look at all the hunky men. So for the search for "sexiest man" I hit "safe search off" and Yahoo spits this gem back in my face, which Diana thought was even funnier than the jab at Sasaki:


Image Search: Sexiest Man. Safe Search: Off.

We've saved your preferences to your ID: askthepizzaguy. These will apply to all Web searches when you are signed in on any computer.




:embarassed:

So now, Yahoo thinks I am gay. That's just peachy. :sweatdrop:

[Renata]

So you meant "this should be fun" or "this should be good practice"?

Both. I'll be disappointed if no piles of votes materialize. But so far it looks like Pizza's theory is correct.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

That isn't what "this should be good" means in english.

[Renata]

Hey, I still didn't get a role PM.

Oh, and about Renata- I got this investigation result last night...

I bet it said "man in a wig". Unfortunately, that would make you a false prophet. I'm a *woman* in a wig.

[Renata]

So starting from this night we would like to announce a new competition: Who´s Next.

The rules are simple. During each night any of the audience can guess who will be the next days lynch. To those who come up with the right answer, fabulous prizes will be available: So pick up the phone and guess who will be winning the next lynch vote!For now Good morning and good bless!

I predict an early lead for me based on my suspicious behavior when given the Sasaki evil-eye; however, I'll pull it out in the end and use a devastatingly incriminating chat log to get Niklas lynched instead.

[Renata]

So you're saying that if we don't find Renata scummy, then its because we're attracted to her? :inquisitive:

I'd throw you a big smooch, but I'm a married woman. Woe.

[pevergreen]

I'd throw you a big smooch, but I'm a married woman. Woe.

Its ok, I won't tell anyone.

[The Stranger]

:inquisitive:

sniff... sniff... ATPG...

sniff... sniff... hmm....

:idea2:

EVIL MINION!!!

[seireikhaan]

Alright, a wee less spam, folks.

[Joooray]

Hey guys and gals,

sorry for being so incredibly inactive so far in the game. I'm really swamped with uni stuff at the moment and I don't think it will get any better sometime soon. That's why I asked Andres to replace me. Though I'm very sad about that, I don't think it's fair to occupy a spot that could be filled with a more active replacement player.

So I'm very sorry to drop from this game, but I hope I'll be able to be more active in a game in the near future.

Now carry on. :wink:

[Andres]

Night 2 - Conclusion

https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Daggers%20in%20the%20Night/Granadanight.jpg

Centurion1 was very surprised about what had happened so far. This is not what he expected from what should be the most important event in the history of vampire hunting.

Talks about kinky sex and lesbians? Really?

What did they expect to achieve with that? Did they really expect to catch a vampire by comparing chains and whips and commenting on questionable activities?

He couldn’t believe it. What an utterly absurd situation! The world was in danger to be ruled by the cursed ones and tell the supposed saviours of mankind talked about was... kinky sex?

His angry thoughts kept him awake, so he decided to go out for a walk.

Bearing in mind what happened last night, he didn’t go out unarmed though. He took 6 silver daggers with him. It was a bit odd to walk around with a silver sword on your belt nowadays, so he hid his blade in his long leather jacket. He also wore the ancient chainmail he inherited from one of his illustrous ancestors under his clothes, and a steel hat that looked like a regular hat.

It wouldn’t be an easy task to kill him during his walk.

He left the hotel and decided to go to the Cathedral. Praying wasn't a bad thing to do when confronted with the most powerful of all vampires.

A figure wearing a dark cloak followed him silently as he left his hotel.

While he was hastily walking through a narrow street, the dark figure jumped forward and hit Centurion1 on his steel hat with a wooden club. The blow would have been lethal if it weren’t for the hat. Centurion1’s training immediately took over and he quickly drew his sword and one of his daggers. He turned around and threw the silver dagger in the direction of where the cloaked figure should have been standing.

The dagger didn’t find flesh and bones on its’ way though. Whirling around, Centurion1 kept looking out for his attacker.

In the corner of his left eye, he saw a reflection and he quickly turned that way. In front of him stood a person, wearing a dark cloak.

Centurion1 looked at his enemy.

“You look familiar.”

His enemy didn’t answer. Centurion1 attacked, but his enemy simply moved to the right. Centurion1 clumsily stumbled forward and fell. The dark figure hit him again with the wooden club. And again, and again, and again. The remarkable solid club was everywhere and it was wielded with supernatural power. The chainmail and the helmet didn’t protect him well enough and soon, Centurion1 went unconscious.

The cloaked figure paused for a while, catching his breath. The killer stepped towards the unconsious victim and drew a sword.

With a quick and clean strike, Centurion1’s head was seperated from his body.

https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Daggers%20in%20the%20Night/albaicinnight.jpg

It was a rainy night. Contrary to popular believe, southern Spain was not all about sun. Here, in the Sierra Nevada moutains, it could rain very hard.

In a narrow street of Albaicin, Chaotix found shelter against the heavy rain. He cursed.

It wasn't just the rain, but also the lack of manners...

No letter, no e-mail, no documents, not even a simple phone call to explain what he was supposed to do here. Just a dry and short notice, saying “get your :daisy: over to Granada, now!”

People nowadays had no style, no class. Gone were the days when you got elaborate letters, without spelling or grammatical mistakes, a map, a book with information and gadgets to help you out on your mission.

Nothing, or “nada” as they said here. Bah. He shrugged.

While he was busy cursing and complaining and feeling self-pity, he didn’t notice the dark figure sneaking up on him.

Suddenly, a silver dagger was planted into his belly. The poison on the dagger caused a tremendous pain, but for some reason, there wasn’t enough poison on the knife and Chaotix didn’t die.

The attacker stepped forward and sighed. This one would be less easy than the previous one.

He took a deep breath and then kicked Chaotix on the head with his steel-toe boot. Chaotix moaned and he moaned even harder when the steel-toe boot hit him in the stomach, on the back and in his face, that got reduced to a bloody mess.

The attacker recollected his dagger back and stabbed Chaotix a couple of times in the neck and the chest.

When the victim was finally dead, the attacker stood up, impassive at the bloodbad. He wiped his dagger clean on Chaotix’ shirt and calmly walked away.

Day 3 - Generalife

https://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t2/AndresTheCunning/Daggers%20in%20the%20Night/P9150305.jpg

The daggers gathered in the Generalife again.

Naib Secura waited until everybody was present.

In complete silence, she stepped forward.

"Brothers and sisters, I received sad news early this morning. Last night, two of our members got killed: Chaotix and Centurion1. We have reasons to believe that it is our foe who is behind the killings."

For a brief moment, the shocked brothers and sisters kept silent. Then they started to talk, again.

Yeah, this part doesn't make any sense.

The rules say the two henchmen are "slaves" of the Vampire. I guess that means they're not vampires themselves.

At the start of the game, instead of selecting the mafia at random, I will select the Ancient Vampire (who is nameless to you, but he'll receive a nice role pm and his secret name), whose job is to PM me with the names of two other players. They will become his slaves. As long as his slaves are alive, the Ancient will not kill.

Each slave will be capable of killing one townie. When both slaves are dead (and only then), the "Ancient" will be able to kill one townie a night.

[Secura]

He's right; now I re-read it, it appears that they're akin to thralls, really... they're not actually vampires like the Ancient One.

Well spotten, TC. :3

[The Stranger]

The rules say the two henchmen are "slaves" of the Vampire. I guess that means they're not vampires themselves.

:laugh4: and what makes me a suspect for the vote? omg... tincow... you are getting more and more suspicious with your obsessive behaviour towards my character. i've carefully analysed your behaviour and it seems you are guilty of jumping to random conclusions based on assumtions, of which we all know is the mother of all ****ups, and giving no sane argument to cover your ***.

so... FOS @ TINCOW!


i dont see how slave leads to not vampire. that is just illogical.

the slaves of the vampire can be vampires themselves or they can be not vampires themselves. no clue towards that is being given in the rules. clearly, you know then that the slaves of the vampire are not vampires themselves from another source, perhaps from a ROLEPM??

EVEN MORE FOS @ TINCOW!!!

ah new evidence has suggested that they are not vampires after all... however only you have noticed it before, why suddenly this notification? Explain yourself tincow!!!

you always ask questions but never answer any aimed at you... dodgy... very dodgy indeed.

His behavior would be stupid for mafia -- he easily could have died yesterday and given that he has not learned from that experience, he could yet easily die at any time based on the sheer annoyance factor.

I believe The Stranger to be a townie. Eventually the mafia will have to kill him, or he becomes a liability to them. But probably not before they've gotten all the distraction value they can out of his continued existence.

As an aside, can I just say that it gives me the heebie-jeebies to use a Pizza-inspired argument at any time, even when I agree with it? Also,

Well I thought I had something; I thought that seeing as he was making afew of us think he was a joker that the mafia would kill him, seeing as they lose if we lynch a joker along with the rest of us, and if they didn't kill that would mean they knew something we don't, like he was a mafia himself, and it would be safe to lynch him. But then again the mafia might not have taken him seriously and just couldn't bothered killing him. I'm not sure if this makes much sense, to be honest it sounded alot better in my head.

[Secura]

Hmmm... having spoken to Pizza at length about this, I encourage everyone to vote for him this round.

Essentially, he believes that the mafia will keep him alive until the end-game where the town will end up wasting a lynch at a stage where they are more precious, and thus he wants to be lynched now to avoid that situation from happening. In death, one of two things will happen; either the mafia's kill count will fall to one per night (thus proving Pizza guilty) or the kill count remains the same and he is proven innocent, whereby he will act as advice for the town.

Either outcome is advantageous, and as it's at Pizza's own request... well, I thought I would put the notion to the town as Naib and see what you thought; it's up to you guys and gals if you accept or not.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

That's unreasonably pessimistic seeing as he was left alive in Star wars despite being revealed as recruitable.

[Beskar]

Let's play this game again. If you had been (or were) picked as the ancient vampire, who would you have (or did you) pick as your henchmen?

I went for you and Pizza, because it is so hilarious, no one would take it seriously.

"uhuh, Beskar, Sasaki and Pizza all as mafia together? Huh... right... that kind of awesome would never occur. :rolleyes:"

"stop joking beskar, 39 yawns here. :rolleyes:"

I am loving it.

[Secura]

That's unreasonably pessimistic seeing as he was left alive in Star wars despite being revealed as recruitable.

That would be my sentiments also, but he has a point; the slaves have one kill each, and the Ancient is only allowed to kill once per night when both of his slaves have perished.

Agree on Tincow to some extent, but not as much because he's such an obvious choice.

Kukrikhan, definitely. He's got the experience and he's been out of it for a while, so he won't get lynched right away (most likely).
Kagemusha is doing his humor because that is the PERFECT way to avoid being lynched, and he doesn't have to offer serious analysis either. He's already got your sympathies, too, Sasaki. Not a small feat.
I would also have chosen Sasaki, but it would be because I'm not me, I'm someone else who is the ancient. Sasaki and I have a similar scummy vibe about us, so I wouldn't have picked him, I'd have left him alive for a while and then killed him around the same time one of my henchmen died. But, others would have picked him.
I would have chosen Renata or pevergreen due to Renata being sympathetic, and pevergreen because he can survive a very long time if you don't lynch him right away. Beefy is also an excellent pick. He will crawl right into your heart and cuddle up with it, until he eats it.

You really want more of a Beefy or pevergreen "type" who avoids being lynched and survives a long time because they generally put less pressure on the mafia and generally don't take charge of the discussion. If they are mafia their behavior doesn't have to change in order to survive a long time, which is all you need. They're also not considered must lynch candidates.


His news articles are non-boring.

Yeah, and the perfect defense against being lynched.


Either outcome is advantageous, and as it's at Pizza's own request... well, I thought I would put the notion to the town as Naib and see what you thought; it's up to you guys and gals if you accept or not.

Either the kills will drop or I'll be proved innocent without wasting the late lynches which are the ones which usually catch scum.

Either bite the bullet and kill me, or bite the bullet and force the mafia to kill me. Don't waffle later on.

[Beskar]

That would be my sentiments also, but he has a point; the slaves have one kill each, and the Ancient is only allowed to kill once per night when both of his slaves have perished.

Ancient One is also immune to lynch, etc, while his slaves are alive too. Think of it like Andres in Creeping Darkness.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

It may be a good strategy pizza, but mafia seldom gambit that boldly. Their minds are on something else.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Depends on who you talk to.

Even now, this whole "lynch me" thing could be WIFOM to get you to not lynch me until the endgame. Don't overlook something because mafia seldom do it. People have varied personalities.

Kagemusha is right up there among the players who play ballsy. He's the one who suggested attacking Yaropolk, who was defended by Jolt, in the Shadow Fort. Even though we knew it, and it was likely a suicide mission. I agreed because mine are made of platinum, but he proposed it because his are made of titanium.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

That's radically different.

The number of things that are "ballsy for mafia but are the perfect disguise" that are actually done by town is much greater than the number done by mafia. Partly because people are vastly suspicious of "ballsy for mafia but the perfect disguise".

You may have a point. But then again this whole discussion between you and I has been fabricated because we're both mafia, so now I will pretend to agree with you.

Unvote, vote: Tincow

[Double A]

I don't think anyone in their right minds would pick ATPG or Sasaki as a henchman. Despite them being great players, they are lynched early game far too often. However, that doesn't mean they aren't mafia, as one may very well be the head vampire. But that's also not likely based off of the 1/50 chance for either of them to be the head guy.

Assuming there are 50 players in the game, anyway.


Vote: Double A

Fair enough.

[Romanic]

I've made a post count since Day 1. Only two players have 0 post, slashandburn and Csargo, and we lynched Csargo yesterday. Should we be suspicious of slashandburn for not being active? Or did he mention that he would be out for a while?

vote: slashandburn

We'll see what happens.

Btw, highest post counts are: The Stranger, Sasaki and ATPG. I could write the whole rankings, but I don't think this is any good yet.

[atheotes]

Whats up with all this WIFOM from Pizza, Beskar and Sasaki... it is only going to confuse the town :whip:

If i were to pick 2 henchemen, i would have gone for
1. Someone who could take care of themselves if pressured - Sasaki, Pizza or Tincow
2. Someone who has staying power - Jooray, pever, Beefy etc.

Pizza used that term yesterday too. Would someone care to explain what staying power is? I got a clue, but I'd like to hear a full explanation.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I would have been tempted to pick Romanic too, because he played well in the mini, and is new to the site. But not many people watched that game.

[Romanic]

Are you saying this to judge what my reaction will be? :grin3:

Would you have picked yourself to be mafia?

Whaaaaaat? You're the first to admit the town keeps you around about as long as they do revealed mafia if you aren't proven town. Or if you're mafia.

I'm not usually lynched that early unless I have an investigation result on me. It happens but not nearly as much as being investigated, blocked, or recruited, or even killed.

Your argument seems off to me.

[Romanic]

Would you have picked yourself to be mafia?

Do you mean, if I was the Ancient One, or if I was Andres?

If I was the Ancient One, I think I would have picked at least one experienced regular guy, maybe even two, so it's probable that I would not have picked me. I would not pick a new guy because I am a new guy and I need guidance to play as mafia. But I guess if I was an experienced guy, it could make sense to pick me with another good player.

Btw, I thought you were being sarcastic about how I played in that mini game. I lost, killed atheotes after the lyncher requested it, and I gave the twinkies to split after he told me it was his VC. I consider this game was a total blunder.


slash always lurks and is one of the more common WoG's btw.

Ok, then. unvote: slashandburn.

I'm going to Vote: Askthepizzaguy if he still wants to go ahead with it and the naib thinks it's a good idea.

Give me a few days to see if I can get online before Wogging, lynching, vig killing, replacing or mafia killing me please. :sweatdrop:


"stop joking beskar, 39 yawns here. :rolleyes:"

[Romanic]

I did know what the lyncher was. I found a description for that role on epicmafia, but the description said he had to lynch the annoying townie, and I couldn't see who else but me would fit that description.

[Captain Blackadder]

Pizza used that term yesterday too. Would someone care to explain what staying power is? I got a clue, but I'd like to hear a full explanation.

Someone with staying power is someone that often makes it to end game because they seem to go slightly under the rader. They are rarely investigated or nightkilled because no one really thinks of them instead they go for people like atpg and saskai.

As for mafia if I had being the ancient one I would most likely pick one experianced person along the lines of pever or beefy and maybe a newcomer from civfantatics like Nicklas to go under the rader.

[Renata]

I would pick players I'd want to be on a mafia team with. That's the important thing; strategy is secondary.

unvote, vote Niklas

Too quiet for someone as dangerous as you. :bow: Plus, you had the obviously-right answer about Autolycus right at the tip of your tongue, suggesting you'd thought at least a little about the game, but followed that up by seeming confused about the setup. And, like apparently everyone else who did think Autolycus was an obvious kill (Pizza, Sasaki, others?), you didn't see fit to mention it to Secura.

[Centurion1]

That was Centurion gets for his sidling. As for Chaotix, he was being annoying with his role PM stuff.

ah still sooooooo worth it.

that being said..... darnit! i keep dying. i havent been mafia for a long time

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Hmm, I even forgot that the Naib could protect. But Renata, auto was not an obvious kill. Just not a surprising one. I have killed people who were going to replace out before. Often they are trusted not to be mafia.

Your Niklas argument is good although I have not read the posts.

[Renata]

Not posts, this was a chat from a couple of days ago.
