That'll teach me to skip over the post-script. :laugh4:
And I try to make it easy for everyone, by bolding what phase it is.
I've been doing it for at least a year now. :laugh4:
Anyway serious mode:
As the townspeople returned to their homes most walked in groups, discussing their favourite way to eat crumpets in the morning, but one drifted down to the morgue.
The person found a body and performed basic CPR. If anyone else had of been in the room, they would have been thoroughly confused as to why the person was giving CPR to a dead person. After a few minutes, he stopped and sat in a chair, looking quite pleased with himself. He was not at all amazed when Winston Hughes gasped in fresh air, through pale blue lips. Winston was dressed and taken home, and they spent a lovely day together, rejoicing in the miracle of life.

I bolded players who seem to be inactive (or hard to get consistant activity from), it looks like the mafia kill in pairs, so one of these guys could be where the lapse happened.

If anyone gets a cat, send it back to YLC I guess, if it really is a roleblocker.

If it does roleblock and did roleblock YLC, then this is the correct move.
If it does not, odds are mafia will fake it being such, and so one less kill anyway.
Agreed.
The cat does not roleblock instantaneously, and I can confirm as such. Instead, it role overwrites, meaning I become "the care taker of wee sean", and lose all of my other abilities.

04-19-2010, 18:04
That cat was in the first inishmore wasn't it? I think if the serial killer didn't find it he went on a rampage or something.
This cat is different, I think. We haven't seen evidence of a serial killer that needs his cat yet.

I'm confused. So you're confirming it does roleblock, but you're saying the writeup which reveals that a killer was blocked doesn't implicate you because it was in your possession?
At this point I agree with Sasaki. Now you must reveal your mason partner.

No, it does not roleblock until after I obtain it, I don't know how to explain it. No, I am still not revealing ANY mason, and if it means I die for it, so be it.
Also, please, please, credit me with some insight and intelligence. It's also clear in the write up that there was no block, just an absence of a partner.

Well, it's night phase anyway.
All I am saying is that you should keep the cat this round, to prove your case or to prevent another hit due to WIFOM. If someone wants to implicate you then they have to not kill. True, no?
Even if I'm wrong that the cat blocked you, it does give pro-town roles another round of breathing room.
As for your guilt or innocence, I figure you have to have been scanned by now... so I guess I can wait.

I don't care if you never reveal your "mason partner". I care if your mason partner never reveals to save you. If there's no reveal from them, then they probably don't exist.

Regardless of whether or not I want to, the cats ability affects me this night, not that it makes much difference, so I can, tonight, give it to whomever I wish without repercussion.
Can TinCow confirm the delayed effect?

Regardless of whether or not I want to, the cats ability affects me this night, not that it makes much difference, so I can, tonight, give it to whomever I wish without repercussion.
So, what's your special ability?
Can TinCow confirm the delayed effect?
I re-read the cat role PM and I'm not entirely sure. All I know is that I got the cat at the end of the day phase and gave it away at night. I assumed that it was a role-block at night, but on re-read I can't tell for sure because the role PM doesn't really specify. Here's the cat role PM:
Congratulations! You've been given the task as the carer for Wee Sean, Wee Thomas' kitten. Your objective is to give the cat away. If you take too long, Wee Sean will move on of his own accord. Once Wee Sean is no longer with you, you return to being whatever you were beforehand, be it normal townie or pro-town role etc. At any point, you may PM me and tell me who you give Wee Sean to.
Based on that, it would appear correct that YLC cannot do anything except give away the cat tonight, though I'm now not quite as confident that it actually blocked him last night.
So, what's your special ability?
I said I had a special ability? No, I said the cat specifically blocks any special ability you may have by replacing your role.
TinCow, you presumably would know the details if you yourself had a role to block (or over-write), right? I would not expect you to lie to protect that information unless you were very sure of the implications as they would impact YLC, and you don't seem to be.
In any case, being used to CFC and a whole lot of items in my "mafia" games, I would call it not at all unlikely that items' effects are only forward-looking: if something arrives by PM at the morning of day 5, it starts its effect then, regardless of having been "sent" the evening of day 4.
So is the cat something that YLC can get rid of, or does he have it for the rest of the game? As in permanent role-block?
It's a few posts up, Mr Chaotix voter. He can give it away (or it gives itself away, eventually, presumably to prevent it dead-ending in some lurker's inbox).

It's impossible for me to tell you whether the cat role-blocks on the night it is sent for two reasons: (1) I got it during the day, not the night and (2) I had no actions to be blocked when I received it. I assumed it worked on the night it was sent, but when I re-read the role it doesn't actually say that.

Looks like he can hand it over to some one and that person has it thereafter till it is returned or it moves on his own accord. With some co-ordination this could be used very effectively as suggested.

It affects me regardless. As of now, I'm not truly a mason, I'm the "caretaker of wee sean". It would affect a townie in the same way.
Also, not to be to cruel to you TC, and I know your a brilliant person and all, but claiming wee Thomas role-overwrites/roleblocks, and then have a missing killer in the write up, it does look suspicious to me.
AGAIN, that's not a call to bandwagon, I just want to hear more from TC...
Sasaki Kojiro
04-19-2010, 19:23
Strangely, I agree with YLC :beam:
It doesn't make any sense that TinCow could receive the cat and then just pass it on, roleblocking someone that same night. It's more likely he himself was roleblocked, and tried to frame someone.

Yes, I do unfortunately seem to have implicated myself by going after YLC. In my defense, there is someone out there who can confirm that I was given the cat during the day phase, not last night. If I was a mafioso, my partner would have known about the cat before it was even time to submit orders.
Askthepizzaguy
04-19-2010, 19:28
It's worth asking who gave TinCow the cat. Might shed some light on the issue.
Yes, I know you posted the real thing, and yes I accept the possibility you were framed as well, which is why I am not keen on anyone even voting for you. I'm just suspicious right now, it feels like an elaborate setup - so if anyone else can confirm they had the cat, do so now.
And yes, someone had it before TC, so say who it is now.

After yesterday's vote I was given a cat by someone.

That's what I was kind of fishing at with my last post. If YLC's description of the cat is accurate (and as I said I see no reason it would not be), then it can be passed every phase, and affects the recipient the turn immediately following receipt. For TinCow, that would be last night. I wanted to see if he would claim vanilla, or at least a lack of night ability. What he did say is a little ambiguous.

I was given the cat right after the end of the day phase, like a night result PM but from the day instead.

So you were given the cat at night then...sorry that was confusing me, because you said it had been given to you during the day.
From the PM posted it seems like it can be passed on whenever, and you are only roleblocked while you have it. So, since YLC admits to ending up with it, then obviously he was the one who was roleblocked.
Ergo, come day phase his mason partner should claim or he should be lynched.

04-19-2010, 19:41
Interesting.
Much is being made of the cat, but the cat is inconsistently discussed -- none of the versions gibe.
TinCow: Let's have your version again please.
YLC: Let's have your version. Sasaki had me convinced, albeit a little late, that you should have had my vote. Let us see....
Sasaki: Why do you have old cat hairs about your person? Know more about purry furry Sean than you're saying?
Who was the fellow with scratches at the pub? Cats leave scratches sometimes.
GH: You do have a penchant for being on the receiving end of a busted kill effort, don't you? I recall you spending a whole big chunk of one Capo that way...
Chaotix:
How could you?!? A role like that and you go that over the top after the first night phase....:furious3: You got the chop for nothing.
So you were given the cat at night then...sorry that was confusing me, because you said it had been given to you during the day.
No, I still think it's proper to say I was given it during the day. As I understand it, the previous owner submitted the orders to give it to me during the day phase while we were voting. While the PM I got making me the cat guy was technically in the night phase because it was sent after the write-up was posted, calling it a night action would be like saying that a person is killed by a day action because it's only revealed after the day starts. The cat can apparently be passed on in any phase, day or night, and the target receives it after that phase's write-up.
Exactly. Which would mean that you had it last night. You sent orders to pass it on at that time, but YLC did not receive it until not-morning.

We can test that with YLC...but then what was that talk of it being a hot potato? I think I had a game where the actions were taken as soon as I (the mod) read the pm.
Doesn't the fact that YLC says he received it mean that it doesn't take till the end of the phase?

I called it a hot potato because it keeps getting passed from person to person. I don't think it's an instantaneous action, it seemed to be your usual 'submit orders during a phase, they are executed at the end of the phase' action, except it can be done during the day as well as at night.

Yes, that's what it says in the PM - to qoute peveralmighty.

I checked the time stamp, I received the PM from pever at 12:12pm EST yesterday, and the write-up was posted at 10:05am EST yesterday. So, that is a 2 hour gap, it's still pretty close to the write-up and I've seen worse result PM delays in many games. I sent the orders to give the cat to YLC at 6:06pm EST, and pever responded at 6:54pm EST with this:
He'll be gone at the end of the phase.
That seems consistent with a phase-ending transfer, though I still don't know what impact that has on the target being blocked.
I am going to consult with my partners as how to best resolve this.

Seamus Fermanagh went out to the local pub. The funeral was depressing, but the lawlessness outside was getting out of hand. He ordered scotch and told the bartender to keep it coming. He lost himself in the football game on the telly, and the hours passed. Later that evening he stumbled out of the pub, drunk as a skunk dipped in scotch, and staggered out to the curb to hail a taxi. Two men wearing dark suits and fedoras came up to Seamus, and without saying a word they drew their weapons and shot Seamus in the back at point-blank range. Thanks to the scotch, Seamus didn't feel much pain, he simply drifted off to a cold sleep. He awoke the next morning, eyes blurry to a man putting down something. The man smiled and said, "Lucky I got to you in time, otherwise you would have been a goner!" He left before Seamus could identify who it was.
The two men were on the beach again, this time playing some beach cricket. A passerby thought it strange that only two people would play beach cricket, so he walked over and joined in. By the end of the night, they were all roaring drunk, and best friends.
A man walked into church and began talking with his priest. They had a nice chat and the priest knew that this person wasn't going anywhere.
TinCow was at home. He was relaxing after cleaning his house, having nothing else to do during the day. The door was kicked in, and there, in a stereotypical black and white striped shirt was a man with a fine moustache. He fingered the end of it, and put his sack on the ground.
"Wee wee TinCow madam, you have the pleasure of coming with me!"
With that, he grabbed TinCow and threw him in his sack, before running away in the most silly fashion imaginable.
Two men were walking along, discussing bagpipes when they spied Sigurd. They looked at each other and nodded. Following Sigurd back to his home on a hillside, they burst in and right there and then skinned Sigurd, and made the best darn bagpipe anyone had ever seen. On the way out, they spied two sacks, undid the tops and walked back home with the newly freed TinCow and Reenk Roink.
Askthepizzaguy shut his door. He was very tired. He planned to just go to sleep. Going into his bedroom, and hanging up his hat, he turned around to look at his bed. His eyes opened wide in terror.
There on the bed was the most horrifying thing he had ever seen. A little kitten. It was named Wee Sean and it meowed softly and to anyone else it would have been the most lovely thing in the entire world. But not to Askthepizzaguy, who promptly died of fright.
The crowd gathered again in the morning, and much weeping was done by pevergreen when he discovered Reenk Roink was back amongst the living.
The people settled back into the usual pattern of things.

Someone posted they were allergic to kittens...perhaps ATPG was too and so he was frightened to see it...

Seeing all the "big names" in black in that update I was about to taunt the mafia as being a bunch of weenies until I noticed they'd saved two other big names by killing one of them. (And that ATPG's death seemed unclassifiable.) Poetic justice.
You could possibly interpret that as TinCow and Reenk Roink now owing their allegiance to the mafia, then.
Questionable place for your mind to go, Secura, despite the "walked home with" part of the write-up. Why would pevergreen make it blatantly obvious that the mafia just got two new recruits (and more to the point, named them)?
FOS you for casting doubt where it's probably not deserved.

The walking home was just a way for TC and RR to get back to the town. The two of them had to be released somehow. Storytelling, thats all that is.

It was a possibility, that is all. Why would people be tied up in sacks, constant references to beer-swilling beach bums and a bloody cat?
Who knows? This game genuinely baffles the bejebus out of me, that was the first thing that's really stood out, that's all.
Wasn't Sigurd the mafia that bagged tincow, and then some guys killed Sigurd in order to free Tincow (and apprently reenk roink..?) thats how I understand it anyway.

It seems like Sigurd was some sort of kidnapper role or something, and the mafia killed him and released his captives.
If you consider it from your interpretation, it would mean that Sigurd was mafia and grabbed TinCow and Reenk, and then two vigilantes or something freed them both, right? I'm leaning more towards the former, but you raise a good point.

Well there were two guys killing Sigurd so in hindsight, I would say they are either mafia, or perhaps masons, given that they are in pairs. Two vigilantes as you say isn't likely. But if they were mafia then the likelihood is that Sigurd isn't, and since when has a kidnapper been pro-town? :laugh4:

It could just be bluffing, but it does sound as though the captives might have been immune to kills while tied up.

Earlier in the game everyone seemed to agree that those who are released later in the game cannot be trusted, however I don't think anyone was betting that Sigurd would be the one responsible, I don't know what to make of his role but it didn't look good to me. Why keep them in a bag if its all innocent?

Hmm, as unlikely as I thought it to begin with I guess he could have been pro-town after all...
But he would have to kill himself in order to release people if nobody else killed him, right? And he easily could have been protecting mafia in that system, which is lethal.

Bartender, gimme something stronger! This tap water tastes like chlorine!
The scummiest thing so far in the game is the Chaotix bandwagon. Mafia love to jump on something that looks superficially bad the way Chaotix' lie did, especially if they can be pretty sure there will be a crowd of townies eager to go along with them -- and lies tend to attract those.
I would never have voted for Chaotix. Crazy moves like his are relatively unlikely to be pulled by mafia -- too often the result is exactly what happened yesterday. That doesn't mean that nobody who voted for him was town, obviously, but I think the odds of finding mafia there trying to push that bandwagon along are higher than elsewhere.
The bandwagon:
Unvote:Subotan, Vote:Chaotix
I was just informed that masons are townies who start the game knowing one another are innocent, correct? Either way, I can see the point now and I'm comfortable with that explanation, thank you.
unvote, vote: Chaotix
Why joke lie about being an investigator or having a result on Subotan, treacle?
vote: Chaotix
That was ridiculous.
(in response to someone questioning the vote)
On the basis of lying? I thought that's how we usually picked lynch targets? That or random bandwagons.
Yes, I'm wondering that too. While I can agree with a lot of what Sasaki is saying, I find it rather scummy that he's trying to get all the masons to out themselves, assuming there are masons. Especially with three kills a night.
(snip Chaotix admitting the lie)
Vote: Chaotix :brood:
(about his vote on slashandburn)
I wanted to poke him awake. When did he post in this thread last, exactly?
(snip quote)
I agree with this :bow:. Also, I almost convinced myself of switching votes to YLC to end this damn issue but I think we're better off letting him be investigated and lynching a lurker or someone else. Chaotix, perhaps?
FoS: Chaotix
More in the next post or posts; it'll only let me multi-quote so many at a time.
Bandwagon continued:

He could of got a potentially innocent guy killed just to have a bit of fun. Not the kind of stunt I'd expect mafia to pull of though, he would at least stick to the story, right?
vote: split
following what renata says about his activity, gives us another lynch option.
Is anyone else having trouble with the quote feature?
From post #208.
(snip me questioning the vote, and whether he thinks Chaotix is scum)
I believe his tactic is scummy, not necessarily that he's scum. Stupid question regarding Chaotix, as I voted ACIN (or AVSM) in the Star Wars game because he was going after high post count.
Masons, I think, are better in the end-game assuming they survive. OTOH, claiming mason early in a game does seem a bit like "cover" for some other role. Unfortunately, it's hard to judge whether that role is town, mafia, or neutral. I recall pever's "neutrals" had some real impact in version one.
Joke detective claims are less useful than faked detective claims -- and possibly more annoying.

Faking results even as a joke is poor townie behaviour.

Okay, so that's votes from Csargo, Secura, Zack, Methos, Seamus and Subotan; and FOS'es from Diamondeye, Thermal Mercury and Captain Blackadder.
I'm curious why Reenk is voting for TM, because I find his post the most suspicious of the lot. Not only was it a FOS and not a vote (serving to help the bandwagon along while keeping his hands clean(er) in the even that Chaotix wound up lynched, while voting for a random lurker), but it's internally contradictory:
He could of got a potentially innocent guy killed just to have a bit of fun. Not the kind of stunt I'd expect mafia to pull of though, he would at least stick to the story, right?
If you don't expect mafia to pull the stunt, then you don't FOS him as being Mafia. You might *vote* him for anti-town behavior (given the number of people voting for Chaotix and the reasons given, it's a sure thing at least one townie did just that), but you don't say you're *suspicious* of him.
vote: Thermal Mercury
My own vote for Chaotix was intended more as a means of pressure, it wasn't supposed to end up as a bandwagon. I simply wanted him to explain why he lied about Subotan, there wasn't really any reason to do that.
Because conversation is rather quiet, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions regarding this part of the writeup:
A man walked into church and began talking with his priest. They had a nice chat and the priest knew that this person wasn't going anywhere.
The person conversing with the priest is me, but what does this mean? Is the priest a role in the game, and if so why was I targetted?

So you know what happened(to you), why it happened(Priest did it to you, you have a PM about this), and that it happened to you(public writeup and PM), and you want us to analyze it?
We can't exactly tell you why you were targeted unless we know what exactly his talk with you did.
If we assume it was let's say role blocking, anyone who refutes that could be a suspect for the priest role, and only you know who is right or on the right track. If this priest was some sort of mafia or anti-town worker, I have no doubts that you'd be announcing what happened to the town as a way of protecting us. The only reason for your course of actions(what appears to be fishing for his role, harboring information that as far as we know you're free to share,) is if you're mafia and the priest is pro-town and you're mafia trying to figure out who role blocked/investigated/etc'd you...
Or maybe you've been recruited and you're looking for some sort of code from the priest to post?
Then again I could be reading into it too much :bounce: , maybe you're just a townie trying to figure out what happened....
No FoS or voting for exactly that reason. There is still time in the round to talk about it :grin:
As for him springing up seemingly out of nowhere... perhaps the priest has other actions? Perhaps he can talk to someone on night, and do other things other nights. Or perhaps he's been inactive for a couple of days and finally swung in to check on a game which he didn't know had started. Looking at the writeup for the happenings there doesn't appear to be anything or real substance to analyze, it's short and explains exactly what it intends to (I imagine).

If you must know, I was featured in the first night's writeup, where I made friends with some nice Australian gentleman who showed me the in's and out's of cutlery; that night I was informed by the host that they were my friends now and that I owed my allegiance to them.
After my speech with the priest last night, I received a second PM from the host stating that I was aligned back to town once more.
What I'm curious about is why I was targetted specifically out of the remaining players; I haven't really stood out in the game thus far, because if I'm honest I've been struggling to get to grips with it and things are confusing me... so why me? That is what puzzles me.

The boat shattered on the rocks.
"Well lads, we're here. We somehow made it onto English territory. What'da say we hit the closest town and just work our way throughout England until we find Brendan?"
"Works for me!"
The Inishmorians have arrived, the scene is set, 5 mafia, 18 other roles. Who will emerge victorious?
If you have not received a PM from me now, you are, unfortunately, one of the 16 vanilla townies.
…
Not a lot to analyze in this. Our dear pever’ has put the group into English territory and declared the roles etc. Note: Host has noted that only those with a power role of some sort received a PM. 5 Mafiosi and 18 others mean a LOT of roles here. “Other” outnumbers the vanilla town.
Day One
The first day had drawn to a close, the peaceful English people continued about their business much as usual, as nothing strange had happened. At some point, during one of the many tea breaks of the day, the group had collectively decided, as civilised people do, that they should put one of these people in prison until they had figured out who these savages from Ireland are. This person was autolycus.
He didn't seem too put out.
"Cheerio chaps, I'll be seeing you back when this is all done, rightio?"
The prison guard gave him his night cup of tea, and autolycus settled down in the comfortable bed with a nice book, leaving the trouble to the rest of them. It may have been prison, but in this town, they made prison nice, since it was usually crime free. … .
I’m not a fan of Day openers with lynches. Seems even more abstruse then a typical early round vote. While there is no specific information, pev’ is hinting – “didn’t seem too put out,” “leaving the trouble to the rest of them” – that this lynch did not net anyone who was a threat to the town.
Night One
Winston Hughes was sitting all alone eating chicken soup, when he heard a knock on the door. "Well who could that be?" he wondered. When he opened the door, he saw two men holding a big package. "Sign here" said the gruff voice. The box suddenly opened up, and out popped a monkey. "I didn't order a monkey" said Winston, as the monkey hopped into his arms and began playing the cymbals. "That's not our problem" said one of the two men. The monkey screamed at Winston and slammed the cymbals against his head, and everything went blank. When he woke up, Winston was tied to a chair in the middle of a dimly lit room. There was a table to his left, and just within reach was a gun, and a note that said "use me to escape". He was unsure what that meant, until the loudspeaker in the far corner of the room began to play a familiar melody.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2WGfqfQ6HM
He gladly put the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.
Myrddraal was enjoying a game of mafia on his computer, but he felt like someone was watching him. This was never a good sign. Sure enough, just outside his house, a pair of beekeepers slid a tube through the pet door. The tube led all the way to their truck, which had a big sign on it which read "killer bees". They then waited by the front door with guns drawn, and waited for the inevitable screams. Myrddraal heard the omnious sound of buzzing and ran for the back door instead, but was running too fast to see the nearly invisible piano wire, running across the back porch at neck level. His body ended up in the back lawn, 7 kilograms lighter.
Khazaar was walking along, enjoying the brief break between the rain showers. He thought most people would be home this time of night, but he saw two men walking along, obviously drunk. He paid them no notice, as he didn't know them by sight, but they stopped their laughter when he passed them. One turned around and said, "Hey mate, do you think this guy had a face full of pimples when he was younger?" Spying an article of their clothing and seeing the oppurtunity for a joke, Khazaar replied "Acne." The two men's faces drew solem, they dropped their bottles and brought out knives. When he was found in the morning, Khazaar had little cuts all over his face, but his death was from dual stab wounds in his buttocks.
Reenk Roink was in his bed having just finished reading an obscure book and was just happily dreaming of his one true love, pevergreen. Oh my, what a dream it was. But it was cut short by the door banging open. Reenk shot up and his hand went to his trusty sword. The intruder brashly entered the room and laughed when he saw Reenk in bed with a sword clutched in his hand.
"You silly english types, always with the swords and the tea and the floral bedsheets!"
"Silly English types? No Englishmen is that mean to his countrymen...if you arent English, what are you?"
"Can't you tell from my outrageous accent? I'm French!"
With that, the moustached intruder grabbed Reenk, threw him over his shoulder and ran away.
Two men stood at the edge of beach and road. Barefoot, sipping from their beer cans, wearing singlets and generally not looking too clean.
"Its nothing like home mate."
"That she aint. But bugger it, what are we gunna do about it?"
"Good point."
A man was walking past, and seeing the oppurtunity to make some new friends, went over and started up a conversation. By the time they had finished and parted their own ways, the man left with wonderous tales from two short spoken people and a new game to play.
As the man walked home, he replayed the scene.
He was fishing a knife out of his pocket to open one of the cans, and when he pulled it out, the other two men didn't seem surprised, but glanced at each other. One reached into his pocket and pulled an object out.
"That aint a knife. This is a knife."
"Thats a spoon..."
"Ah, I seen you've played Knifeyspoony before."
At that moment, nothing in his life had ever seemed so funny. He was sure there people were his new best friends. He'd follow them to the ends of the earth....
Note about the Missing group: Players listed under 'Missing' are effectively dead. They cannot vote, nor can they be voted and they cannot perform or be targeted by Night Actions. They may, at a later date, however, return.
Two guys and a monkey take out Winston. There’s a distraction and then Winston suicides when faced with something worse than death.
Pairs also take out Myrddraal (pair of beekeeper killers) and twin drunks (conversation, then knifing of Khaazar).
Reenk is abducted by a Frenchman (did Louis take to Strike first?) Apparently, he may come back later.
We also have a pair of barefoot beachniks who make a new friend. Recruitment?
Day Two
Night Two
Sasaki Kojiro was sitting at home, checking out what was on TV. As it turns out, not a whole lot. Sure, tonight seemed to be some big Dr. Who thing, but he hated that show, so he eventually settled on some good old fashioned rugby. Brushing the old cat hair off his shoulders, he had just gotten comfortable when the doorbell rang. Grumbling, Sasaki got up to answer it. He swung the door open and to his amazement, there stood a big blue fox. She was on her hind legs and was posing seductively. She slowly walked past him and made her way to the stairs, stopping at the bottom and giving Sasaki the best "come hither" look he had ever seen, and he'd seen a lot of them on his TV. He followed this foxy lady, or was she a lady fox?, up the stairs into his bathroom, where she turned on the taps in his bathtub. Complying with her wishes, Sasaki lowered himself into the tub, after discarding his clothes, and sighed at how good the water felt. His mind went blank as the foxy lady gave him the best massage he had ever had. He was so relaxed, he didn't hear two men grunt and stagger their way up the stairs, and into the bathroom. The lady's hands went down past his shoulders, his biceps and elbows and to his wrists. Sasaki was shivering, anticipating the feeling of her fingers on his, but instead he was treated to the cold feeling of steel around his wrists. He opened his eyes and saw that he had been handcuffed to the taps. Silently, Sasaki cursed having such elaborate taps, and so far apart. He could move upward from a sitting position, but he couldnt get out of the water. Finally taking notice of the two men in the room, his face did not turn to horror, but puzzlement. The two men had brought in a high powered portable air conditioning unit. Laughing to themselves, they turned it on full blast and pointed it at Sasaki. He died of hypothermia before the sun rose.
Scienter was walking along the boardwalk, enjoying the sea salt and spray, the smell of the ocean and the feeling of hard word beneath her feet. Up ahead, she spotted some street performers, knife jugglers. Having grown paranoid, she put away her little notebook and turned to run away. What she in fact did, however, is fall on a bannana peel. It was a comical sight to others, but Scienter managed to do a double front flip and smack her head so hard on the wood that she died immediately. The two street performers walked over to her. Nudging the body with his foot, the taller one said "Why'd you have to bring the monkey again?" The monkey didn't seem to take that too nicely, he scampered down off the shoulder of the shorter one, onto the body of Scienter and starting jumping up and down, screaming. What shamed even the knife jugglers is when the monkey decided to add banging his cymbols together to the odd dance.
Two men were standing on the beach, not far from where Scienter would die a bit later that night. Enjoying the last glimpses of the sun and laughing about saving daylight, they drunk from their beer cans whenever there was a pause in the conversation. There wasnt a lot of conversation. After an hour or so, one pulled out a portable barbeque and set it up, starting to fry up a delicious dinner. A pedestrian smelled the food and walked over and said hello. He would stay there for quite a while, hearing amazing stories and being careful to stay away from trees on his way home, he was afraid of things dropping from them now.
The scene was the hottest nightclub in town. Hot may not have been the best word to describe it, it featured a few middle aged people sitting down and having a nice chinwag. In a corner, GeneralHankerchief sat alone, drinking his favourite beverage and mentally calculating the odds of his favourite sports team winning next weekend. He was, quite understandably, annoyed when a man tipped over his table and shouted at him. "You're here to what?" GH asked. "I said we're here to kill ya, you dirty mongrel."
"We?" inquired GH.
The man looked around but could not see who he was looking for. "Oh...sorry to bother you sir, have a nice night."
He left without further comment.
In the centre of the nightclub a man stood talking to a man with a few cuts on his hand. They talked long into the night and by the end of it, were best friends.
…
The “trio” kills Sasaki using a lure, secure, and slow kill approach. The two acting as muscle laugh over his demise. Fox (lure) is an interesting figure. Shapeshifter? Sasaki has old cat hairs on him at the outset. Was he the first one with the “puddy tat?”
Scienter buys it by trap/accident when faced with two street performers. A monkey serves as the totem animal here.
Two comrades drinking at the beach lure a third over. The new one becomes their friend. This references some kind of recruiting effort of course, but how permanent or by whom? And for what cause?
GH is attacked but the attack fails as one of the two person kill team fails to show up. I liked the brief homage to “Home Alone.”
All three kill efforts feature an animal reference of some sort: fox, monkey, “mongrel.”
Day Three
The townspeople gathered at what was now the usual spot and were greeted by an unsual sight.
"Excuse me, my name is pevergreen, and I carry a bit of bad news!"
"It seems that we managed to accidentally kill our own beloved Queen yesterday. Yes, I'm sorry to say, Queen Chaotix the second is no more. I decree today to be a day of national mourning. You are all to return home, and I shall see you upon the morrow."
There were few tears, but everyone returned home.
It is now Night 3. Night will end in 23 hours, 34 minutes. (Midnight, Tuesday 20th April GMT +10)
(Yes the day phase is skipped)
Wow. We lynched badly and lose another lynch because of it. This really does not help the town at all. Why was Chaotix that cavalier with a power role? Is there a “King?” We need to remember that pevergreen writes interesting roles for his neutrals – and that lynching them isn’t always the best idea. Chaotix almost invited it here. Was that in his role?
Then pevergreen throws in a resurrectionist:
…Anyway serious mode:
As the townspeople returned to their homes most walked in groups, discussing their favourite way to eat crumpets in the morning, but one drifted down to the morgue.
The person found a body and performed basic CPR. If anyone else had of been in the room, they would have been thoroughly confused as to why the person was giving CPR to a dead person. After a few minutes, he stopped and sat in a chair, looking quite pleased with himself. He was not at all amazed when Winston Hughes gasped in fresh air, through pale blue lips. Winston was dressed and taken home, and they spent a lovely day together, rejoicing in the miracle of life.
…Why is this in another post and not in the earlier one? Because while sending out result PM's, I discovered I missed this action.
So here it is. I'VE DONE IT BEFORE, DON'T HATE ME.
Why Winston? Nothing against him of course, but why him? Also, is he now someone’s minion? I recall Netherworld teaching me that lesson. Resurrectionist is good, since Winnie ate a gun. Nice repair job.
Night Three
Seamus Fermanagh went out to the local pub. The funeral was depressing, but the lawlessness outside was getting out of hand. He ordered scotch and told the bartender to keep it coming. He lost himself in the football game on the telly, and the hours passed. Later that evening he stumbled out of the pub, drunk as a skunk dipped in scotch, and staggered out to the curb to hail a taxi. Two men wearing dark suits and fedoras came up to Seamus, and without saying a word they drew their weapons and shot Seamus in the back at point-blank range. Thanks to the scotch, Seamus didn't feel much pain, he simply drifted off to a cold sleep. He awoke the next morning, eyes blurry to a man putting down something. The man smiled and said, "Lucky I got to you in time, otherwise you would have been a goner!" He left before Seamus could identify who it was.
The two men were on the beach again, this time playing some beach cricket. A passerby thought it strange that only two people would play beach cricket, so he walked over and joined in. By the end of the night, they were all roaring drunk, and best friends.
A man walked into church and began talking with his priest. They had a nice chat and the priest knew that this person wasn't going anywhere.
TinCow was at home. He was relaxing after cleaning his house, having nothing else to do during the day. The door was kicked in, and there, in a stereotypical black and white striped shirt was a man with a fine moustache. He fingered the end of it, and put his sack on the ground.
"Wee wee TinCow madam, you have the pleasure of coming with me!"
With that, he grabbed TinCow and threw him in his sack, before running away in the most silly fashion imaginable.
Two men were walking along, discussing bagpipes when they spied Sigurd. They looked at each other and nodded. Following Sigurd back to his home on a hillside, they burst in and right there and then skinned Sigurd, and made the best darn bagpipe anyone had ever seen. On the way out, they spied two sacks, undid the tops and walked back home with the newly freed TinCow and Reenk Roink.
Askthepizzaguy shut his door. He was very tired. He planned to just go to sleep. Going into his bedroom, and hanging up his hat, he turned around to look at his bed. His eyes opened wide in terror.
There on the bed was the most horrifying thing he had ever seen. A little kitten. It was named Wee Sean and it meowed softly and to anyone else it would have been the most lovely thing in the entire world. But not to Askthepizzaguy, who promptly died of fright.
The crowd gathered again in the morning, and much weeping was done by pevergreen when he discovered Reenk Roink was back amongst the living.
The people settled back into the usual pattern of things.
…
Seamus was shot at point blank range by a couple of stereotypical gangsters in fedoras (Thank You pevergreen!) – but is saved by some kind of doctor. I keep doing this in Inishmore games! Why do people hate me so? I’d guess the bottle killers. The second pair is not killing.
The two beach critcketeers make another friend. Cricket, Barbeque, who can resist? There is, however, no third cricket player…..
Sigurd turns out to be the mustachioed Frenchman and had just kidnapped TinCow to pair with Reenk when another pair flay him for a musical instrument. This lets us have back two players, but doesn’t keep them safe either. Sigurd’s role was neutral I think – hard to guess his agenda.
Also hard to say what relationship, if any, the freedmen have to their rescuers.
Pizzaguy seems to have died from the hot potato. Not sure if some of us die from cat contact or if the cat was some kind of “homing” weapon that killed a designated target once it reached.
Lots and lots of animal references in this thing so far…and a queen. Something to do with the Sidhe?
If you must know, I was featured in the first night's writeup, where I made friends with some nice Australian gentleman who showed me the in's and out's of cutlery; that night I was informed by the host that they were my friends now and that I owed my allegiance to them.
After my speech with the priest last night, I received a second PM from the host stating that I was aligned back to town once more.
What I'm curious about is why I was targetted specifically out of the remaining players; I haven't really stood out in the game thus far, because if I'm honest I've been struggling to get to grips with it and things are confusing me... so why me? That is what puzzles me.
Is that all it said? You were recruited?
Is that all it said? You were recruited?
Yep; I owed my allegiance to the Aussies, but thanks to the priest I'm back to owing it to the town in general.
What is FoS? I've looked all over the OP and the Mafia Glossary and can't find it anywhere. Maybe I just missed it?

Skeletal FOS: YLC
Last night I sent YLC a PM suggesting he keep the kitten, whilst pretending to give it away. If the number of kills returned to it's original amount this would have cleared him of wrongdoing, and the mason group could be preserved. When he posted to that he had given it to Beefy in the thread, I thought he was following my advice. Now it appears he didn't keep it, nor did he give it to Beefy, but to ATPG. Why do this when you've been offered a way to clear yourself? Please explain YLC.

No offense Beefy but I'd want you scanned first. Someone is interested in getting that cat, and I'd like to know who it is and what their reasons are, and not have to rely on their word or guesswork.
So... with my death, who has the cat now?
Well...I'm not sure how much I should reveal. I need to talk to Pever first about it, and when he has answered my questions, I'll get back to you.
Suffice it to say, I at the last minute decided to give it to ATPG, in the hopes that I would clear him, since it was agreed it was some kind of roleblock. My logic was that if I did hit a killer, it'd drop the number of kills regardless.

No dice there. I don't like cats, as would be evident (public knowledge) by my death. Should have asked me first, and I would have told you no, and why.

I don't see the point in that, to me it would have defeated the point of giving it out in the first place. It'd also have looked like role-fishing, as any role would not want to be blocked, protown or not.

Basic townies won't care because it doesn't do anything to them.
edit:
I could have even used the cat to prove my innocence later on in the game if I were still alive, to avoid wasting a lynch. Oh well.... I was too distracted by other games to have been much help here anyway.

And I was to know you're a basic townie? I don't make assumptions like that, about anyone, so that doesn't fly, and if you could be killed be Wee Sean, then that doesn't sound basic townie to me. Either way, the game has a resurrector role, so you may get revived - your a better option then Sigurd I think.

Clear ATPG of what? You're the one under pressure. If you were a townie mason, you could have easily proved your innocence using the kitten, but you gave it away to clear someone who wasn't even being accused?
Both me and TC agreed on the function of how the cat works, and we revealed the PM which states how it works. Thus, on the night in question, it could not have been me being blocked, but rather blocked during the second night. Thus, I would have been cleared regardless and it made more sense to move the kitten along.
Sasaki Kojiro
04-20-2010, 23:52
You weren't cleared by it. You should be lynched if no mason partner vouches for you.
Pizza should probably not be revived, on the off chance that there was a mafioso role out there terrified of wee sean. That's just how it goes.
Yes, I was Sasaki, and I am getting irritated by you constantly attacking me for no reason. There were no drop in kills last night, the night I was roleblocked by Wee Sean. I was not roadblocked the night before and I know it, because I've asked and it was clarified by pever. You just want me or one of my mason buddies to claim, and that is not happening. Stop rolefishing.
Winston Hughes
04-21-2010, 00:07
Why Winston? Nothing against him of course, but why him?
A very good question, and one that has been troubling me as well.
I'm not too proud to admit that I'm far from being amongst the top rank of players. And there is no in-game reason for resurrecting me either - I have no powers, and nor am I confirmed innocent, either by my death or resurrection.
What's more, whoever dragged me back into the world of the living has yet to reveal himself/herself to me, and I have received no PMs from the GM (except for confirmation that I was not supposed to receive any PMs regarding my resurrection or anything else).
Make of that what you will.
Also, is he now someone’s minion?
If this is the case, then I am entirely unaware of it.
And, being no less baffled than usual about what's going on here, I won't put up a fight if you decide to lynch me just to make sure.

I'd be surprised if a mafioso could be killed by a kitten. It would seem to unbalance the game I think. I would have thought being killed by the kitten would be in PizzaGuy's favour.
PS, If TinCow confirms, it would seem that YLC has indeed been cleared.

Seamus: I liked your view on the kills! Most were written by me, but a few came from the mafia.
The attempted GH one, what was the reference to Home Alone? As I wrote that I was completely unaware of it. :laugh4: Still can't see it. As with the first Inishmore, you can ask and get answered on specifically what I wrote. If anything changes (ie that kill on you Seamus was as it was written, bar the change due to protection) i modify the kill i am given.

Okay, so that's votes from Csargo, Secura, Zack, Methos, Seamus and Subotan; and FOS'es from Diamondeye, Thermal Mercury and Captain Blackadder.
I'm curious why Reenk is voting for TM, because I find his post the most suspicious of the lot. Not only was it a FOS and not a vote (serving to help the bandwagon along while keeping his hands clean(er) in the even that Chaotix wound up lynched, while voting for a random lurker), but it's internally contradictory:
If you don't expect mafia to pull the stunt, then you don't FOS him as being Mafia. You might *vote* him for anti-town behavior (given the number of people voting for Chaotix and the reasons given, it's a sure thing at least one townie did just that), but you don't say you're *suspicious* of him.
vote: Thermal Mercury
You begin saying those who voted for Chaotix are the most suspicious, then you pick me out for FoS'ing him, even after his lynch I expressed my dislike of it for reasons already mentioned. I'll remind you that FoS = Finger of suspicion, Because he did a suspicious thing, but as I already said, not a mafia thing. I think your reasoning is fairly vague at best.

How you come to the conclusion that I wanted him lynched when even in the post I FoS'd him I said it was a bad idea, is beyond me.

The town should have been eager in its discussion, having missed out on the option of some lynch mob justice the day beforehand. But there was little conversation. Many didn't see the need for more, as 31 people were still alive and free.
After a light afternoon tea, White_eyes:D and Captain Blackadder had been put forward as the two best options. pevergreen sighed. He hated ties.
"Same thing, its always with the ties! Both of you are free to go, but my patience for ties has run out. However, since it would be a waste to have such a wonderful day and not kill anyone...Lord Winter, you're up."
pevergreen took LW into a shed and many screams of agony were heard before the town uneasily went home.

pevergreen my friend, if you need help writing the deaths of those who need to be WOG'ed, then allow me, as I have some experience with that.
From my Monty Python and the Holy Grail mafia game (Available on Betamax, VHS, and Super 8):
GOD: Kill fire..... KILL FIRE.... wake up kill fire.
Kill fire: zzz.......
GOD: WAKE UP, FOOLISH MORTAL!!!
Kill fire: huh? What? Sorry.... just really tired. I'm not sure about this quest you gave me.
GOD: I see... perhaps we can find someone a little more lively to fill your role.
Kill fire: I'm lively!
GOD: Like a rotting log, you are. Enjoy your nap.

The greatness of the Lord has been demonstrated unto kill fire. Yea, and as he walks through the shadow of the valley of Askthepizzaguy's footprint, he shall lurk no longer.
Just then, God arrived from the heavens and spoke directly to King Arthur.
GOD: ARTHUR.... ARTHUR.... there is one among you who is not performing their duties. You know which one it is.
Arthur: Right. I'll fetch them immediately, my Lord.
GOD: And step on it, I have things to do!
Arthur returned with ZPV.
GOD: ZPV.... you have been charged with the terrible and unforgivable crime of inactivity. How plead you?
ZPV: ......
GOD: I now sentence you to the most horrifying punishment of them all. Prepare to meet your eternal damnation, wretched one!!!
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb225/askthepizzaguy/HolyGrail049-1.jpg
God scooped up ZPV in his massive hand, and also reached down deep into the depths of the underworld, and grabbed the Dark Lord off of his very throne. He lifted the deceiver of men up into the sky, and made him drop his pantaloons. God then shoved ZPV where the sun, and even the brilliant fires of hades, does not shine. The Dark Lord seemed to enjoy the experience for some reason, but ZPV decidedly did not. However, his head would never again be removed from the hindquarters of the prince of darkness, and would be used to warm his delicate fanny. The worst part was that it was chili night, and the devilish one really enjoyed his beans.
ZPV felt the WRATH OF GOD.

That YLC would be role blocked for the entire night, even if he gives away the kitty that night.

Who's had the cat in what order?
I'm more interested in the furry feline the more I think things through.
If my odd guess about the Sidhe is correct, then Wee Sean could be functioning as a Bean Sidhe -- death to any.
Why Sidhe?
Chaotix wasn't the Queen of England or Scotland. Ireland never had a high-queen. There was a queen of the Sidhe (faeries). pever hinted at a bunch of roles aside from the mafia.
So far:
5 mafiosi (one team or two competing as in the last game?)
1 kidnapper (neutralish: those protected were out of play but also safe -- agenda unknown)
2 Aussies* (our beach cricketeers -- doing conversions of some form or other)
1 priest (seems to wash out the conversions)
1 doctor (saved my pathetic behind)
1 detective (projected)
....
leaves a lot open. If Sidhe are involved, pever will have gone for both seelie and unseelie to create a second "game within a game."
My opening post specifically noted that I had had a PM from pever. I had. He was kind enough to PM me to let me know he did have to use me in the game to get close to 40 live bodies -- I'd only agreed to do backup as I'm a bit busy with various things including BR mod.
I added it to my first post to see if anyone came around sniffing. Two takers -- Secura and Renata. Both PM'd me to say that I'd "made a target of myself" with my opening post. This could be simple kindness, or.....
Dun Anghosa was tossed out for "color." It is, of course, the name given to the ancient ring fort on Inis Mor in the Arans, after which the original locale is loosely styled in the play from which pever' derived his setting. Nobody bit at that being a codeword. Oh well, can't have everything I suppose....

There's also someone capable of reviving the dead; Winston Hughes was brought back to life.

Thanks, I forgot that one and I don't think it'd be combined with the doctor.
As to the other, kindness....in a mafia game...I remember being kind to one of the ressurected dead in Netherworld and not pushing too hard. Didn't live through that one now, did I? Just color me skeptical.

That's men for you! Renata and myself weren't here back when you played that game... just sayin'! :P
Who's had the cat in what order?
Known: Sasaki, Tincow, YLC, and ATPG in that order, if you count ATPG's death as possession. However, I'm not sure whether Sasaki was the person who gave the cat to me, nor whether someone had it before him. I suspect there's at least one previous owner out there, either before or after Sasaki, possibly both, but no one's admitted to it. We also don't know where it is currently, if anywhere. ATPG died without giving it away, so it could be gone for good or it could have randomly jumped to someone else since that was what was supposed to have happened if anyone held on to it for too long.
In any case, it's clearly not 'Bean Sidhe' as you call it beause it did not appear to have any nasty side effects for anyone except ATPG.

Oh that wasn't kindness, Seamus, quite the opposite. The last time I caught a slip like that (on another site), it was the mafia detective, and I got him lynched for it in the end based on how he responded. I was feeling you out. But I'm glad you were protected.

Thanks for cat info.
Bean Sidhe, in the old stories, only affected the Sidhe and not humans, so passing it among the humans does little, but to one of the specials it would be lethal. I'm just wondering if we've got other "teams" playing a parallel game is all. I acknowledge there is some far-fetchedness to this thought.

Two men were sitting on the stone wall parting beach from road. They took swigs from their beers and discussed the telly.
"Flashbeer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ5vaUVXRto)" said one.
"No way mate, you're dead set wrong. Its gotta be the Big Ad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv5U0W8FDDk)."
"Well, for Carlton, thats the main two."
"Don't forget the canooes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-zIeJ01oJU)!"
"Theres more just Carlton mate, what about the drop bears (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULEQpUY_crc)?"
"Actually Bundy have made the best commercial if you think about it. This one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULEQpUY_crc)."
"Yeah, you're right. Time to make a new friend?"
"Yup, I'm liking the look of that bloke over there."
They, as they had every night so far, made a new friend.
Methos knew that they were watching him. The security cameras in his office building weren't for keeping the building secure, they were for following his every move. At this moment, the government men would be in his home: collecting skin samples, hair fibers, and lifting his fingerprints off the pennies in his penny jar. It was only a matter of time before they would take him away and perform experiments on him. Then they would shoot him in the temple and leave him in the mountains to be eaten by wolves. Soon after that, he would be replaced by a clone, an obedient one to serve their wishes. Well he wasn't going to let that happen, so when he got a red envelope in the mail without a return address, he knew it must have been filled with knockout gas. He ran to the nearest window and threw himself out. He landed on the street below and died instantly. Two architects were standing nearby when it happened, and they were shocked to see Methos lying dead on the ground. One of them turned to the other and asked if he remembered to invite Methos to the upcoming charity ball, but the second one nodded and said that he had just mailed the invitation this morning in a red envelope.
Two men were at a bar.
"Oi bru, what are the haps my friend?"
"Not much, how abouts we make a new friend?"
"I like that idea."
They spied a person and by the end of the night, the three were best friends.
A man entered the morgue. He passed over many bodies, locating the one he was looking for. Taking out a syringe, he plunged it into the body and left. Before Askthepizzaguy returned to the land of the living, the person had gone.
Renata closed her door, sighing. The sound of the door knocking caused her to go back and open it. A man was standing there. He grinned and blew hard on his bagpipes, temporarily incapacitating Renata. He smiled even harder and yelled "Get her!"
When nothing happened, he looked around and cursed the name of everyone he could think of. He left muttering about someone not showing up again.

Yes, I was Sasaki, and I am getting irritated by you constantly attacking me for no reason. There were no drop in kills last night, the night I was roleblocked by Wee Sean. I was not roadblocked the night before and I know it, because I've asked and it was clarified by pever. You just want me or one of my mason buddies to claim, and that is not happening. Stop rolefishing.
No drop in kills? Wasn't it the night (or, now, one of the nights) where someone missed his kill due to waiting for someone?
Yeah....that has worked wonders in the past...I am just keeping my mouth shut...don't like it? Vote for me:shrug:

Okay, that nixes my thoughts on ATPG. Thanks for the clarification pevergreen.
Edit: Missed a quote.
Sasaki, there were also only two kill attempts on Night Three, and ATPG's death at the end of that same update shouldn't have affected anything.
I do agree that going after lurkers might be as good a strategy as any for this round. Just avoid the obvious wog-bait and keep it from bandwagoning too early.

Just confirming:
All night actions take place at the same time, so if person x dies, whatever they were doing still takes place.
I was referring more to ATPG being at the end of the list of events for that night, but good to know.
So we have two recruitments, a revival, Methos' suicide and a failed attack on Renata.
Could we take the latter as a sign that one of the mafia failed to send orders? And what are we to make of Methos' suicide?
Pever, would it be too much to ask for a write-up summary thread? There's a lot going on.

He's active enough to avoid the WOG. He's not inactive, he's lurking intentionally as opposed to other games. He also signed up to my next game, so he clearly has the time.
If we're going the lurker route I'd prefer Centurion1 over either of the others just because he's been so obviously spotty with his presence on the forum. That might fit the pattern of the person who's seeming to fail to show up (to attack GH and me). But I'm not wedded enough to the idea not to vote Thermal Mercury again given a couple of lurker options already on the table.

He's active elsewhere on the .org and signed up to games at Total War Center. So yeah.

He was in Thermal's Identity Crisis game and didn't appear again after the initial day phase. I don't think he's posted much in this game either beyond signing up and such. I'd wager that he's WOG bait more than anything else, so a vote against him is pointless. I think the same probably applies to this Zack fellow too.
Looking back over the last few days or so and trying to immerse in the game a little more, one person's arguments stand out as peculiar to me, so I'mma vote: Thermal Mercury; to someone like me who isn't really 'in' this game, so to speak, your posts stand out alot, Thermy.

I feel they are worth pressuring to see what they say. Don't know who the best lynch is yet.
But if they don't respond at all, then what we have is someone who doesn't care about the game, or a mafioso. Either case, a good default lynch.
