<style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> </style> The pain had faded, replaced by a numb sensation over my whole body. I was flat on my back. Some strangers were pushing the cart I was on at a rapid pace. There was some shouting, some screams. My eyelids felt heavy, like I was ready for a nap. I felt the cart pull to a stop. There room I was in was so bright. The tiles of the ceiling were pearly white. My eyelids finally became too much of a burden to keep open.
Then, I felt a new, gentle warmth encompass my body. Like the world's softest blanket, caressing me, rocking me with a gentle sway. The darkness was lifted, replaced by a pale blue light. The pressure of the world lifted, and I felt like I was floating. And with a rush, I fell, down, down. And, with a moment's notice, I was sitting. Everything had changed. I was sitting on a pristine marble bench, though I still felt so airy. I looked up, and the ceiling, looking tall enough to encompass a five story building, was made of the same pristine marble. Everything was... the wall just to my left, the wall which looked several hundred feet behind me. When I peered to the right, I couldn't see a wall, just an endless expanse of the marble floor and a few dozen people sitting on benches identical to the one I was on. I caught sight of my hand in my peripheral vision and immediately noticed something was off. It looked as though it did when I was much younger, in my twenties. I felt my face- it was similarly smooth. Working up to the top of my head, I ran my hand through hair I hadn't had in decades.
“John?”
A young woman's voice called out. Instinctively, I felt like she was calling for me, even with such a common name. I turned back to what was in front of me. A polished, wooden desk had appeared in front of me. A young, oriental lady, wearing a pale, pink suit. She seemed fairly normal, except that her eye color glowed a harsh, vibrant violet.
“Er, yes. That's me.” She smiled.
“I know. Welcome.” An old, leather bound book materialized before her on the desk. It flipped itself open to what looked about halfway through. “Alright, John, it looks like, based on how you lived, like you're getting off pretty easy!” Her excessively cheery demeanor was a bit off putting, but then my brain wracked forward like it had been stopped dead while in a sprint. It dawned on my just where I was. “According to our records, it looks like you're only here for two years, four months, two weeks, six days, fifteen hours, twelve minutes, and thirty five seconds.
“Um... so what do I do now?”
“Oh, no worries, you'll be transported to your residence facility just abou-” POP. Instantly, I was in new room, much smaller than the previous. It was made of the same, shining marble, but looked to be only about a hundred feet in each direction. There were maybe twenty or so people loitering around, staying near the walls, oddly distant from each other. Rectangular frames indicated there were hallways leading elsewhere.
“Welcome, John!” Still recovering just a bit from the disorienting transportation, I located the voice from behind me. At an identical desk sat a young blonde woman with shoulder length hair, wearing the same pink suit as the previous lady. “This is your residence facility. My name is Jannette. Ordinarily, I would wish you a pleasant stay and be off by now. Unfortunately, you arrived here just at a poor time.”
“What's wrong?” I asked.
“Well,” she started, with the same incredibly cheery attitude as the previous lady. “It seems that someone in here is up to very unfortunate shenanigans. I was ordered by the Boss to stay on hand to help keep order. Just a bit ago, we discovered one of the residents was missing. Of course, its impossible to leave, so this means that someone made them not exist anymore.” My jaw dropped, partially at the circumstance I'd been thrown into, and partially at the chirpy manner in which I was informed. “We brought you in, John, because we know that you can't have done it. You see, the standard operating procedure is to let the residents figure this out, since, after all, they're quarantined in here anyways. You're to be the organizer of the residents, to help ensure nothing gets out of hand. Every day, you'll help the residents organize themselves, and you'll turn over whoever's been found to have been guilty.” That smile on her face was starting to weird me out even more. How could she be so cheery about this? “Well, John, I'd advise you to help them get started as soon as possible! We haven't got all the time in the world, now do we...?"
Welcome to my newest small mafia game! This will be a purely vanilla setup- the town will have to work with in thread behavior to catch the two mafioso. The townspeople are the residents of the facility, and the two mafioso will be agents aimed at their demise, hidden in their midst. There will be no detectives, or doctors, or anything like that. That means thread activity will be important- please participate if you sign up!
I'm looking for up to the maximum of 17 players.
Rules:
No quoting PM's, no quoting chatlogs, no screenshots, no alternate accounts, no translating pm's none of that.
I do not allow Vote: No Lynch as an option. Period. You may abstain, however.
If you wish to take back a vote, you CANNOT do it by editing a previous post. I will not count it. Period. You must unvote:playerX in order to recant the previous vote. In order to vote for someone, you must do so in the usual Vote: khaan style. However, thanks to my super moderator powers, I can tell what an original vote is, so feel free to edit a post after the fact if you just missed something and don't want to double post. Just be sensible about it. Votes must be bolded, for reference.
Suicides will only be allowed in the event of a person being very much unable to participate in the game. I do not allow suicides for any other reason.
No links to anything outside of this thread. Period. I don't care if it pertains to something completely irrelevant.
It would be very helpful for the sake of my sanity if player's kept a tally running.
Voting periods will be 24 hours, though I may occasionally extend it to 36 if necessary.
Any ties in voting will await someone to break it. First vote to either person who is tied will result in lynch, regardless of any posts after it.
WoK(Wrath of Khaan) will occur if a person does not vote 3 rounds in a row, or if they do not vote in 4 rounds in total. Please, please don't make me WoK you.

Even with the influx of CFC'ers I am having difficulty finding people. Too many people are on the do not invite list.
Being honest, I am not too interested in vanilla game, and I am pretty busy RL, and with my own game hosting soon. However, 'khaan is a good host and writes good write-ups and his game should continue.

"So, what am I supposed to do exactly?" I asked the lady. "I mean, can't we just wait here in the main room? Surely whoever's responsible wouldn't attack while we're all here."
"Oh, dear John, how silly. Amanda must not have told you. John, here we must all still rest; its not quite like down on earth, but spirits don't have unlimited energy." She nodded to the open frames in the walls. "Those lead to everyone's quarters for when they want some privacy. Its also where they can enter transience. Transience is akin to sleep, except spirits don't have a choice in the matter. After a certain length of time, a spirit goes into transience involuntarily, if not done voluntarily before then."
"So, how long do we have before everyone goes into transience?" I asked her.
"Approximately thirty six hours. Until then, its up to you to help these good folk figure out who's being a troublemaker. Then you just hand the troublemaker over to me and we should be good!"
"Er.... right." I raised an eyebrow and turned to the people assembled in the middle of the room, to at least not have to face that abominably cheerful woman. "Well, you guys have ears, right! We need to figure out who made those people disappear. Anyone got any leads...?"
Day one has begun! You have 36 hours for this first lynch.

It's far too easy to gauge whether Romanic's innocent by looking at his mid-game posts. No investigation required - if he's bleating like a townie then he's vanilla. If he withdraws into himself, THEN set the dogs on him.

I think my reaction to other people voting for Diana has been the same in almost every game: dead silence. She is just another player in this game. It would be like accusing me of caring if someone voted for Split or Beskar because they are friends of mine... that has no real bearing on the game.
But back to the game itself: Both you and Pinman seemed quite disconcerted when I placed a second vote on him. I'm very interested by this. Then you removed your vote. I see you gave an excuse for voting for someone besides Pinman, in that he hadn't posted yet but then he did. If that is your basis for the vote, I find it interesting that you're voting for me. Kinda panicky and all over the map for a first round, if I were to characterize it. While it is a long shot you and Pinman flinched over one additional vote this early in the game, it is also not impossible. It also fits in with the usual distancing strategy.
If you truly are innocent, then you will acknowledge that Pinman isn't your mafia partner. I'd like to see you place your vote where it was. Unless of course... that makes you uncomfortable somehow. :wink:
Panicky, panicky... that's all you have for me these days? You're accusing me of being panicky in Zhou, and now here?
I'm not panicky, I'm returning you the favor of putting you ahead of the tally, after you did the same to me. How do you like it? :grin:
Changing my vote from Diana to you doesn't change the pîcture. I'm still tied at 2 with someone, except that this someone is now you, and not Diana. So where's the panic?
Let's roll the dices, I'm not moving my vote back to Pinman just because you request it, and imply that he could be my partner. That would be plain stupid of me as it would leave me alone ahead of the tally, which is btw:
2 Romanic (civplayah, ATPG)

Sorry, what I was trying to say is that Romanic easily gives himself away if he's vanilla rather than mafia. Examples? Every game I've played with him where he's been town (you were in Beefdom, weren't you Pizza?) he's always taken the crystal-clear, honest townie strategy. I'd have liked to see whether this pans out during this game.
Either way, that'll teach me to go on the Org after having a few drinks, heh.

Accusation went to no less than half the entire group! This was hardly a consensus like I'd been hoping for, but when all was said, a man who I'd guess had been Italian, by the name of Romanic, had been declared most suspicious. He was jostled to the front by everyone else. Not harshly, but in a determined sort of manner. Romanic, for his part, did not look panicked, but quite calm. In a way, I thought, he was a victor in all this, assuming he wasn't at fault. He would be safe, even if in a cage.
“Well hello, Romanic!” The lady chirped. A comically impressive frown overtook her face. “It looks like the folks here don't seem to like you all that much.” And just like that, the smile was back. “Well, no worries, everything will be just alright.” She reached into her jacket, and with the skill of an old west outlaw, whipped out an old colt revolver, took aim at Romanic's face, and blew a a giant, gaping hole in it. All in less than a second. My jaw dropped. An assortment of screams and gasps came from the crowd.
“WHAT WAS THAT?! I THOUGHT WE WERE IMPRISONING THEM!”
“Oh, silly John,” she answered in her sweet tone. “That was told to you so there wouldn't be immediate panic. You all are trapped in here, so there's actually no place to imprison anyone.” She took a look at the rest of the crowd and waved her right hand. “Aaaaaanywhos, have fun in transience everyone!” The crowd slowly backed away in a shuffle from her, and finally turned their backs once near the hallways. “Go on, John, otherwise you'll end up in transience out here and then you'd just be a sitting duck. And don't worry about this,” she motioned to Romanic. “I'll have it cleaned up in a jiffy. Have a good rest!”
Its now night phase, I'm giving 24 hours to get me orders!

Lynching you was way too easy. IMO you were innocent, unless Khaan says otherwise.
Khaan doesn't do reveals. I got penalised because of it in another game as I claimed investigator and got a mafia lynched. Then the town came after my head.

Skooma Addict trudged back to his privacy quarters. He was still in shock- how was all this even possible? I mean, wasn't everyone already dead? Did this make Romanic double dead? Super dead? Before he could get a headache, he plopped himself down on his bed, which sat next to his mini-fridge. He gazed at the device for a couple seconds, and made up his mind. If he was going to be a goner, he was going to at least enjoy himself. He popped the door open, and grabbed an ornate opaque, faint purple bottle that was maybe six inches tall. He squeezed the top off, and started downing its contents. "Ah.... yeah, that's the stuff...." He leaned back against the marble wall and closed his eyes to ready for transience. He heard a faint pop, and cracked open his right eye. Someone stood before him, a curved knife raised in their right hand. The knife was dark as could be. Skooma startled backwards, but only made himself more erect against the wall. The knife plunged into his gut. Skooma gasped in pain he hadn't felt in years, and watched in astonishment as his hands began to disintegrate, creeping up his arms, into his shoulders....
Meanwhile, Frozen in Ice had prepared himself a simple dinner of a few slices of bread with honey as a spread. He sat on the edge of his bed, contemplating recent events. He didn't envy the newcomer, John. Arriving just in time for what seemed to be a besieged castle. Hopefully things would settle back to their old, simple ways. He laid down, staring at the pristine ceiling. In a flash, someone materialized above him, and collapsed upon him. Frozen in Ice immediately writhed to get the person off him, when a sharp pain erupted in his left shoulder. The intruder's knife had cut through, rending the arm limp. The intruder scrambled off its target, and with a pop, was gone. Frozen in Ice lay gasping in pain. And then, as suddenly as the intruder, the pain was gone. He sighed in relief, then screamed in horror when the arm simply disappeared. His body dissolved further, eating into his side, up to his neck, down to his waist, eventually silencing the scream for good.
"Welcome back, John!" It took all my willpower not to glare at the woman as I entered from what I guess is my bedroom from now on. "Did transience treat you well?" She queried, while tilting her head to the side. "I hope it was at least better than poor Skooma Addict and Frozen in Ice. It seems the poor lads have gone missing."
"Wait, two more are gone?" I asked. "So yesterday was a waste of our time?!"
"Oh, I don't know about that. We'll just find out in due time, won't we? Either way, it looks like you've got more work to do!" She motioned with a hand to the crowd which had reconvened. I sighed and grimaced.
"Alright, folks... we've got to make this count!"

Tsk tsk. I don't like the reasons behind the current lynch votes.
Before Pinman moved his vote, the tally was :
2 Romanic
2 ATPG
1 (lot of other players)
0 Pinman
Why is it suspicious that Pinman move his vote to me and break the tie? As a mafia, he would be happy with 2 townies ahead, why would he do something about it instead of staying cozy in the dark?
Romanic wasn't interested in responding to Pizza's request for a vote on Pinman, but Pinman did respond, in reverse.
From ^Renata...
It does not hold water. Pinman had 0 vote on him, even if I moved back my vote on him, he was in no danger of being lynched.
The only argument I see about Pinman being mafia and moving his vote to me is that he would be protecting his partner, ATPG, but in this round, ATPG slammed the 2nd vote on Pinman, so they're probably not partners.
Pinman is not mafia, forget it.
Instead, you should be questioning Beskar for being 3rd on the Pinman bandwagon after the tally was
2 Pinman
1 Beskar
...while making a joke instead of giving his opinion on why Pinman should be lynched (see post #92). Read his posts so far, he doesn't commit to anything. There's no substance at all, the whole thing scream of prudence and lying low.
vote: Pizza
I've just got a nagging feeling about him.
Romanic, you missed my point. The point was that Pizza called out you as possibly being scum with Pinman, and asked you to vote for him to prove you weren't. You didn't respond to that; IMO a point in your favor. But Pinman did respond -- "oh no I'm not scummy Romanic's partner, never that". As you just said, there was nothing (obvious) on the line for him, so why the jumpy vote change? He says now he just thought you were scummy, but that's not what he said at the time. Who he might be mafia with doesn't enter into it.

That's typical Beskar, but the vote timing is worth noting.
The "happy Pizza" was my weak attempt at a cute gimmick, which as I said in my initial post this round, I half expected to get me killed.Really what I was trying to do was move my vote into a more useful position.

The group was evidently in shock. Whether it was from the continued disappearances or from Jannette's unexpected execution of Romanic, it took them a while to pick up the chatter. Once it did, accusations rollercoasted around. Just before Jannette signaled that I needed to get them to cut the chatter, a run of accusations went to a man by the name of arpeggy.... arpegitt... I'll just call him Arp. He was quickly shoved to the foreground by a few in the group.
"Hey, look, I didn't do nothin'!" Arp begged. "Come on... there's gotta be something else we can do about this, right?"
Jannette just smiled in her typical perky manner. "Afraid not, my dear. There's only one way for this to end." She held her right hand out, and a steel battle axe materialized in it. With a flick of her wrist, she swung it with impossible speed, burying it into Arp's left collar. He collapsed instantly. "Alright folks. Off you go! Have a pleasant transience!" A distinct grumbling could emanated from the crowd, but they nonetheless shuffled back to their quarters. "You too, sweetie," she said with a wink to me. I shook my head and paced off myself.

Diana Abnoba scuffled back to her quarters in a hurry. The threat was now well established. This meant it was time to bust out her pride and joy. People had called her crazy. Paranoid. Insane. Well, now she was going to be the one laughing, she had a defense against the lurking evil. While everyone else had spent their time being lazy and who knows what, Diana had spent her time here preparing for such a threat. Her trap would ensure her safety. It would catch any attacker. She would be the hero, standing triumphantly above everyone else. Just one last adjustment to her device, which lay in the entrance to her room.... and it was ready. She huddled herself in a corner, clutching a small iron bar she'd detached from her bed in one hand, and the 'lever' for her trap in the other. FOOTSTEPS! Yes, it was footsteps she was hearing. The attacker was coming! She tightened her grip.
"A... ham sandwich?" She heard. A grin overtook her face. So close. She could see a shadow creeping near the opening. Then, there the intruder was! It knelt over the ham sandwich she had placed so cunningly in the entry-way. She flicked her wrist, tugging the string. The string pulled on a stick which was propping up an obscenely large cardboard box, maybe eight feet tall, which collapsed upon the intruder.
"VICTORY IS MINE!" She proclaimed. "MINE, MINE AAAAAAAALL MINE!" She ran up to the box and kicked it just as a taunt for the intruder. Just after her foot connected, however, a dark, curved knife exploded through the side of the box, catching Diana square in the gut. The knife pulled back and then slashed apart the box as the intruder hacked its way through the thin barrier. Diana fell to the floor, gasping in shock, partially from the failure of her trap, and partially from her rapidly dissolving body. The intruder rolled its eyes, and with a pop, it vanished.
For Splitpersonality, transience was always a terrifying experience. He didn't know who would show up. And not intruders, either, but all the mean folks who haunted his thoughts perpetually. They called him names, screamed at him, and played practical jokes on his mind. But it seemed like, in transience, they got stronger. Especially Bob. Bob was the worst, always kicking him and pelting him with tacks while he was in transience. Alas, there wasn't much choice in the matter. Split sighed, laying on his bed, eyes closed, waiting for the inevitable to happen. There it was. The tell tale prick and pain in his chest. "Darn it Bob, leave me alone!" he yelled. He shot up in his bed. Wait. His bed? He caught a glimpse of someone trotting back down the hall away from his room. Split's attention went back to the splitting pain in his chest. It wasn't tacks, not at all. A gaping wound was slashed across his chest,and it was growing, spreading, faster. Split collapsed in a heap on his bed, thankful that at least he would not have to deal with Bob any more.
When I arrived back in the main hall, Jannette was waiting once more, a grin on her face as always. "Good morning John! I trust you had a good transience again?" I just glowered at her before turning to the rest of the poor souls stuck in here with me. A quick count revealed that more had disappeared.
"Look, Jannette, I don't suppose there's any other better way of doing this, is there? Maybe we could get some more guards to protect everyone during transience?"
"Oh, John, I wouldn't suggest that again if I were you. Now, get back to helping people figure out who's responsible, k?" I was taken aback by the implied threat. Looks like its time for another go....

Not just that. Killing Split and Diana removes two key people who would be unlikely to lynch me right away. It's quite ingenious actually... which makes me a whole lot easier to lynch.
So I look through the list of players I find most likely to try that kind of strategy, and the names come up: Renata, Beskar, and a couple others.
Essentially, you're correct. But the choice to kill Diana instead of me smacks of knowing to leave me alive as lynchbait, and again that leads to Renata and Beskar, imo.

It seemed two more disappearances had sapped the energy out of the group. Just about everyone got their bit into the discussion, but to describe it as "lively" would not exactly be accurate. When we were close to finishing up, it seemed that Beskar would be turned over to Jannette. Yet, unlike the others before him, he needn't be shoved up. The demented fellow practically sprinted to the front to be executed. "Beskar, reporting for duty!" he proclaimed.
"Alrighty then, ready?" Jannette asked.
"You bet, miss!" he beamed back. I manage to curtail my shock at the whole situation to a raised eyebrow. Jannette held her right hand out, open palmed. A large, blue, rifle lookin' thing materialized in her hand. She flipped it, cradled her other hand under the barrel while her main hand squeezed the trigger. A dark blue beam shot out, maybe a centimeter wide, straight into Beskar's forehead. The beam passed through completely, hit the marble wall, and continued undeterred to who knows where. With Beskar laying on the floor, Jannette chirped her customary goodbye as we were ushered back to our quarters for what seemed likely to be another night of madness.

You've played with me a long time. You know that I'm never very vocal. But that doesn't mean that I'm not active. I do think a lot about possible mafioso and run scenarios in my head, I just don't post them publicly, or most often than not, I don't share my suspicions with anyone.

So truly, the end of the world was nigh. Those who had been deceased were dying once more. Secura wondered where they all truly were. Was this actually hell they were in? It made sense... hell as a facade of something else, only to be revealed in misery. Well, either way, wasn't much she could do about it now but wait, and do whatever possible if attacked. Upon finishing this thought, there was a pop, and someone materialized in front of her, with a knife in their right hand. Secura immediately startled up, and delivered a roundhouse kick in front of her. Another pop, and the person was gone. A harsh pain exploded in her right side. The intruder was now behind her, knife embedded in, tearing it across her back, up to her left shoulder. Another pop signaled the intruder's retreat. Secura collapsed, praying for whatever fate awaited her.
The finishing touches were just about done. "Its a good thing I was given all this time to prepare," Pinman thought to himself. A bright banner hung from the ceiling of his quarters, bidding welcome. Confetti lay strewn across the room, and streamers hung from the few possessions. Pinman figured that if he threw out the welcome wagon, if you will, that whoever was making people disappear might decide it better to have a cup of tea or coffee instead of slaying him. And, doesn't everyone wish to be welcomed? Even if they are murdering psychopaths, surely they'll appreciate a warm welcome. As if on cue, someone materialized in front of Pinman. They appeared a bit taken aback at first, and then more so when pinman pulled a string which triggered even more confetti to rain down upon the room. "Greetings, friend, welcome to my humble abode. Would you care for some coffee? Or perhaps tea?" the intruder roared at Pinman, rushing forward and ramming a knife into Pinman's chest and pinning him to a wall.
"I hate confetti," the intruder snarled. They let Pinman down, and, with a pop, were gone. Pinman was visibly in shock. Who could possibly hate confetti....?
Back to the grind, it seemed. My task of helping these folks figure out who was responsible seemed to be going really poorly. Two more disappeared last night. Jannette, of course, was having none of my somber mood, but I brushed off her chipper mood with a wave of my hand before I turned to the remaining assembled before me. "Its even more dire than before, people. We haven't got long. Please, please, we must apprehend whoever's responsible now! Come on!"

Yes, so of course you choose incorrectly. But at least the dead guy told you to do it.
I don't buy it, scum.

Waiting for some dead, confirmed innocent to suggest an incorrect lynch, at this stage of the game, is the most common (and most effective) way of getting another failed lynch and a victory for mafia.

You're only threatening me now because it is convenient.
I find your suspicions of me to be convenient, seeing as they've only shown up now, and only after a dead proven innocent suggested it. You are trying to steal his credibility and use it to gain a bad lynch. But that added credibility is an illusion. You are using the dead as an excuse to vote for me now, and the convenient timing bothers me, especially when one false lynch loses.
In my experience, you would have accused me earlier if you thought I was really scummy. You don't feel confident enough to bring me down without using the credibility of the dead as a crutch.
The argument you just used is a false one, too. It is not a matter of out-arguing you, that doesn't matter. What matters is who is guilty. Your actions denote guilt.
I don't think the town is so enamored with you they think you are beyond suspicion.
This is an appeal to something, and it sure isn't logic. I never said I was beyond suspicion, no one has said that. You're arguing something that exists only as a talking point to make me die, regardless of its non-reality.
You're a scumbag, pure and simple. But please, continue talking, I find this all fascinating.

I'll give you a hint: mafia typically toss their votes on a lot of different people. The logical follow-up on Renata is not usually indicative of mafia.
Opportunistic voting is, though. Such as:

I would have voted for Renata if you hadn't voted first but I decided that rather than blindly follow a dead guy on you on a day where we possibly HAVE to be correct. So, I decided to poke you with a feeler vote and in return I got an OMGUS vote and claims that I'm scum and have been acting scummy the entire time.

This is total bull. :furious3:
Why do you play a game of mafia? To catch the bad guys, or BE the bad guy.
You were FINE with coming up with your own suspects until now, when you'd be held most accountable for them. You haven't been following the dead's suggestions until this moment.
You are trying to act all innocent, "just following suggestions...". Dude, this is the critical moment. You don't blindly follow a dead guy here. You come up with a serious accusation, make a case, do something besides be a freaking welcome mat. No townie acts like this, least of all you. You're not a passive player.... you may not be the loudest, but you're not someone who barely shows up and just does whatever. You are not that bad at this game. You're asking me to believe you're not woad&fangs.
If you coincidentally had the same suspicions, I could buy that. But you didn't, you asked Pinman what his reasons were. Because you needed ammunition to take me down.
You had no case on me because YOU haven't been actually looking for mafia. You've been waiting for someone ELSE to make a bad case you could follow. Like a scum.

@woad: I have a dead guy too. My dead guy can beat up your dead guy.
Oooh I just got a neat idea for a game. :grin:

Finally done with the wall of text
Pizza has one point that seems to be above all other: If he dies, and if he is a town, we lose.
Woad&fangs
If there still occurs two killings the following night, then targeting pizza for the next round seems fair. If only a single kill occurs the next night, the chances that pizza is not a mafia, should be pretty high, and good enough to him go off the hook
Anything wrong with this 'theory'?

If woad&fangs dies, and is town, we lose. What makes him different from Pizzaguy? Your vote does not follow from your stated reasoning.
vote: askthepizzaguy
Everything you're accusing woad of is something you've done yourself. Your votes have been uniformly (except for this one) opportunistic.
Day One -- jump on the guy who changed his vote and hound him to a lynch. Comment afterward that he was probably a townie because the lynch was too easy. Whoops.
Day Two -- Grab my reasoning against Pinman. When Pinman starts laughing off the bandwagon on him, vote Secura because she said something was "off" (townie, now dead, btw). Later switch again to Arpeg on the basis of a change in tone. Arpeg lynched.
Day Three -- It *must* be either me or Beskar, because split and Diana died. Pinman gets let off the hook of suspicion. Start bandwagon on me, switch to Beskar. That night, Pinman dies -- I'm still here.
Day Four -- And now, day four, when Pinman names you or me, of course it must be me. You've already set it up the day previous. But then woad jumps on you, and you make yet another opportunistic vote change. You only justify your vote afterward, post hoc. And somehow every single thing woad has done all game has a scummy motivation behind it. Even scum aren't that scummy. You're trying too hard.
You do this, Pizza, you hound people to death, and you're damn good at it. Defend yourself now, please and thank you.
I agree with Renata. I think shes innocent and Pizza is guilty.

Hmm.
Thermal once told me, you can make a case on anyone if you tried hard enough.
That certainly seems to be the case right now.
ATPG's case sounds too certain and justified, somehow everything that Woad has done is now being portrayed as a strike against him. Imaginary/implausible/minutely possible links everywhere, I'll echo what Renata said and say that you're trying too hard.
Also, if this is just a fishing attempt to see who buys the easy vote (lazy people), I think it backfired rather stupendously, and furthermore, this is rather implausible as a motive because you took it very far, father than needs be unless you were dead serious in your accusations.
Vote: ATPG
Unsure why, but when you talk about how woad wants to get someone lynched so that he can win the game, the same would follow for you, and many others. Townies and mafia alike want to get someone lynched this round, though for different reasons. Therefore, this as a reasoning for woad's supposed "scumminess" is invalid.

I will say this much: The distancing vote between woad and Renata on round one, plus his incorrect vote on me this round, is indicative of their partnership. I would also suggest that it was indeed Renata who killed off Diana and Split, for very smart reasons.

That's better than not trying at all. I often wonder why I bother, when people don't come up with their own cases ever and just skate through games and then wonder why they lose.
Not you, DIY, but I can certainly suggest God Emperor hasn't put out the effort this time, or at least hasn't shown it.

Incorrect; look at how far I took it against Subotan in Star Wars..... against Psychonaut in Star Wars.... against Andres in Pick your Power.
Do you guys remember how I play at all?
Vote: ATPG
Unsure why, but when you talk about how woad wants to get someone lynched so that he can win the game, the same would follow for you, and many others.
That's not the point. The point is, woad is definitely trying to get someone lynched, but he's basing it off of an erroneous dead guy.
COME ON, PEOPLE, you've been mafia before. Picture this.
It's the final round of the game. You're up against a still fairly large town, and it's a vanilla game. You're worried that accusations against people will backfire. You haven't actually been hunting mafia. So you don't have a case.
Your plan? Wait for someone to make a bad case.
Oh look, a dead guy says that pizza is guilty.... and he just voted for Renata.
Gotcha....
Now Renata, good or evil, will vote for Pizza. With the added weight of Pinman's accusation, the lynch cannot possibly fail. All you have to do is vote for this guy, and the game is over.
How could you, as mafia, possibly resist this move?
Think about it. You're not giving me a fair shake, and you're ignoring what is OBVIOUSLY the scummiest move in the game.
But what seems obvious to me isn't always obvious to others. Just think about it. The game isn't technically over yet.
Townies and mafia alike want to get someone lynched this round, though for different reasons. Therefore, this as a reasoning for woad's supposed "scumminess" is invalid.
Wrong. You're just plain wrong, DIY.
You've looked at it and made a snap judgment, and the judgment is wrong.
Assume that you were right for the moment, and I'm mafia, and I'm about to be lynched.... well you have the votes, yay.
Now, you have the free time to consider, whether or not your assessment was correct. Clear your minds, go back, and pretend you're woad&fangs..... read all of his posts and interactions.... and put yourself in his place. Think of what YOU would do as mafia.
If you do this, I am confident you will arrive at the same conclusion; everything woad&fangs did all game long was based on one thing: Opportunism. Taking out anyone, at any cost, and not having to form his own case on anyone, ever.
He sometimes gave bull spit reasons, but anyone can create a 3-second "this is why" which is a thinly-vieled attempt to cover his tracks.
You have nothing to lose by merely considering my suggestion. Do you guys consider yourselves mafia players, or casual fanboys? This is the big leagues, the vanilla games, where you don't get help. You have to guess based on subtlety, and on psychology, on murder patterns, and on votes. I am even giving you a big hint, this current path loses the game for the town. Consider that I am telling the truth, while you have the time and can afford to, and GO BACK and re-read the thread until you see what I am saying.
Please.
Guys, this bandwagon on ATPG is huge. Too huge to reverse if we come up with more solid logic later.
I think ATPG is more likely to be guilty at this point, but it would be best if at least some of the votes on ATPG were removed - if you know who cant change your vote later.

07-19-2010, 18:48
Pinman is worried that I'll just keep talking and unduly influence people, because I'm too persuasive. (Yeah, look how persuasive I am...) But I admit it.
Therefore, I won't post anymore in this thread, assuming there are some votes on woad to make the game close, and therefore possible for the town to come to their senses and win. I gave my word. You're on your own. Re-think the situation, and give pizza a fighting chance.

The ghost of Arpeg rises from the ashes with a vengeful glint in his eyes:
unvote: Beskar; Vote: ArpeggiateTHIS
The vote that arguably got me killed. Let me bring your attention to it.
1. This vote was the sneakiest OMGUS vote I've ever seen; he slid it in so conveniently after people went after me.
2. This vote was third on the bandwagon that lynched poor Arpeg (me, sorry I like talking in third person). You ALL know what they say about third votes.
3. Beskar, who I firmly believe to have been scum (see his early "fos: Romanic's scum buddy" against my anti-Romanic statement and assorted other actions) was woad's previous vote random vote against me. As first random vote in the round, it must have seemed likely to him that people would leave this unnoticed, thus clearing woad and Beskar of any suspicion and a possible lynch.
Now listen to Pizza's arguments, those delicious, cheese-topped, pepperoni-smothered arguments. They're clean. There's a positive motive for everything he's done. He's even gone so far as to stick his little townie neck on the line round one, which generally results in a lynching.
All I'll say is: The woad is a lie. The pizza isn't. *Applause in the courtroom*
The ghost of Arpeg promptly vanishes...

#1: I thought you and Beskar were scum. You were more popular as a lynch choice between the two of you.
#2: WIFOM. I've played enough mafia to know about the 3rd person scummy rule. Thus, it is irrelevant.
#3: I'm confused by what you're trying to say here. Are you trying to say that me and Beskar are partners?
As for the argument that Pizza is innocent because of his day one antics, I don't buy it. He does stuff like that all the time. ATPG is confident enough to do that kind of stuff when he is mafia. His actions are not protown, even if they are dressed up to look like that.

2: WIFOM
3: Yes, I lynched my partner :rolleyes: <--(for Pizza)
I guess that answers the question about who Pizza's partner is.
No. If Pizza is mafia, the other one is probably God Emperor. Look at the justification for his vote on you -- it applies equally well to Pizzaguy, but GE doesn't mention that. And there was a gratuitous negative comment about GE in Pizza's post on the last page.

However, he switched his vote to Pizza. I doubt his partner will vote for him when they can win if I am lynched. Unless, he's going to switch his vote at the last second. I still think Civplayah is more likely. He spent more time defending his own posting habits than attempting to analyze the situation. That combined with the lurking and his vote on me in the game deciding round point to Civplayah.

It's the typical lame mafia tactic though; kill off the good players so that you can cruise to an easy victory... Beskar and Subotan in the Beefdom game are the only case that I can recall in a long time where I've seen lurkers and inactives purged immediately and the good players left alive until end-game; they left Romanic, Flaxy and so on alive because they were committed players and it was a challenge.
You were the only one they killed and that was out of real necessity rather than chickening out like mafia usually do.

A big fight broke out between woad&fangs, a man who claimed to be a “true” native briton, and another man who simply went by the decidedly ominous moniker of “The Pizzaguy”. The two duked it out for practically the entire time, both seeming to be convinced that the other's past behavior indicted them of being a guilty party. I found myself almost wishing that I still was 'endowed' with the hearing loss I'd previously suffered in my old age. For the most part, the rest of them were fairly content to watch the spectacle, only occasionally giving input. Slowly, but surely, people seemed to grow convinced of The Pizzaguy's guilt. That didn't cease the volume, however, right up until the point at which Jannette gave me a poke to indicate that time was up.
“Alright, alright, shut the chatter both of you. Just to clarify, hands up for The Pizzaguy?” A majority of the few remaining shot their hands up. “Well, step forward, The Pizzaguy.” Indeed he did step forward, right up to Jannette. He turned back to the crowd.
“Tomorrow you'll understand! When I am gone and you all see that it has done no-” The Pizzaguy's speech was cut short by Jannette, who cleaved him in half at the waist with a claymore.
“Well, he sure was a chatterbox, wasn't he? He makes me look like a... a... something really quiet! Well, have a good transience everyone!” she chirped while waving her hand and smiling. Despite the previous volume of speech he'd put forth during the debate, I had to admit I was quite curious what he was going to say. With that hanging over my head, I trudged my way back to my privacy quarters, hoping the group had made the right choice.

You had to say that, but your entire argument yesterday was generated on the theory that it was the last day, that a mislynch of you would end it and that that's why woad jumped you like he did. That only makes sense if the mafia get two kills regardless if one is dead or not.
