Haiku Mafia III - The Prosen Throne [Concluded]

[Subotan]

HAIKU MAFIA III



THE PROSEN THRONE



We return to the Uesugi Haiku Academy in the middle of the Boshin War. Imperial Armies have stormed through southern and central Japan, seizing Edo from the Tokugawa Shogunate, whose government have fled north through Uesugi to Ezo (Hokkadio), along with an army of Shogunate loyalists. Of course, a normal Haiku Academy would have no part in the politics of Early Modern Japan, and the Uesugi Academy certainly didn’t want to play a part either. But, politics and war have blasted through the door of the Academy into the poets’ lives. Shogunate Loyalists captured and took over the academy to use as a headquarters to manage the retreat of their army to the North, to the great distress and discontent of the poets.

A few days after the Academy had been requisitioned, the Academy inhabitants’ awoke to find that the Captain in charge of the Shogunate troops stationed in the Academy had been impaled into the floor by a bayonet! Alongside it was a note:

“As two we write
In one leader do we trust
For the Emperor!”

Snarling in rage, the Deputy (http://wow.lotrmmorpg.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/wow-wrath-of-the-lich-king.jpg)of the Captain bellowed that all the poets were now prisoners. It was clear to him that at least two of the poets were traitors to the Shogunate and had to be snuffed out! However, since he recognised that he would not be able to recognise those with Imperial sympathies, it was decided that each day, the poets would vote for the one who they thought most likely to be a traitor to the Shogun, and deliver him to the troops to be executed.

This is the Third in a tradition of Haiku Mafia games on the .Org*. This is like any other mini game, but with an important twist:

Rules: In addition to the usual Vote/Unvote, you may only speak in Haiku format, which is a short poem with a syllable rhythm of 5-7-5. For example, a typical post might be:


Vote:Subotan

The mask of metal (5)
Hiding the terrible glare(7)
Of a mad killer (5)

All posts must be in that format. No longer, no less. One poem is allowed per post**, although multiple posts are allowed. Edits are allowed only to correct syntax. Neither No Lynch nor Abstain are allowed, as I hate them and people who use them. Private communication is not allowed, as I can't be sure if you're haiku-ing or not. Besides,there shouldn't be any need. I would prefer it if you could mention the name of the person you are unvoting, as it makes tallying easier.

We're full! It's going to be ace! And you missed it. Aren't you sorry?

*It's a tradition now because I say it is
**Haiku Hegemony imposes it's iron will once again :D

[Diamondeye]

This sounds like a dream.
Or at least a lot of fun.
Please, I want to join.

[Secura]

Tattered, blackened wings.
Jade eyes flickering wildly.
You are not prepared.

[PershsNhpios]

Im.

[robbiecon]

It would be silly,
To go without enemies,
but I've lots IN here!


I've never written a Haiku before, am I doing it right?

[Subotan]

Your second line has 8 syllables. Until I impose Haiku Hegemony, you can mess around with it to get it right :)

[Subotan]

This is the longest I've ever seen sign ups for a mini take ever.

MORE PEOPLE PLEASE

[Askthepizzaguy]

I will join.

[Subotan]

Hooray! Just one more person...

[God Emperor]

Well in then :) Also I can't see ATPG joining a game without feeling the urge to join as well ! :p

[Subotan]

Ok we're all set. Sending PMs.

[Subotan]

From now on, Haiku Hegemony is imposed. All posts from this point (But not this one :bounce:)must be in Haiku format. The OED will be the final say on whether a word has six syllables or nineteen or whatever. Bad things will happen to people who screw it up. You may quote other people's posts, but only one at a time. If there is a lynch tie then...interesting things will happen.

It is now the Day Phase. The lynch will commence in 24 Hours.

[Diamondeye]

Today, I vote:Glenn
He can't write a good haiku
not even spell "in".

[God Emperor]

There can be no doubt
Diamondeye is a scum
let us lynch this guy

Vote: DE

[Subotan]

For those who don't know
If you can, vote in your prose
Like this Vote:Subotan

[Secura]

ArpTHIS, murderer?
Or just a simple townie?
My vote, nonetheless.

Hope that will do, the usual format merely kills the haiku.

[Subotan]

So long as it's clear
I have no problem with it
Make sure you bold it

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

Obviously Robbiecon
Is to be voted.

I vote: Diamondeye

[Secura]

Petty insults, huh?
I expect better than that.
Boys will be boys, though.

[robbiecon]

The last in the door,
Is Thinking he will vote for
ArpeggiateThis

[Secura]

Curious indeed.
An 'Oh My God You Suck' vote!
Was it random though?

What if Peg is town?
You would have made killing vote.
Risky move for scum.

Ergo, you are town.
Still, an Oh Emm Gee Ewe Ess?
Poor show, robbiecon!

[Askthepizzaguy]

The last in the door,
Is Thinking he will vote for
ArpeggiateThis

Late to the party
O-M-G-U-S you say?
Unvote, vote: Robbie

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

'Peg is in fact town
Poor judgement call, Robbiecon
I doth protesteth

[God Emperor]

well hello Robbie!
how about an extra vote?
Unvote; Vote: Robbie

[Secura]

Think about this, gents!
His vote was too obvious.
Plain as day, really.

So, ballsy scumbag?
Or simply naive townie?
I think the latter.

[Askthepizzaguy]

So, ballsy scumbag?
Or simply naive townie?
I think the latter.

I disagree, love.
Robbiecon has big balls, yes.
I have seen them shine.

[Secura]

Big cojones, huh?
It's still too risky, really.
I have my doubts, friend.

[Diamondeye]

Secura is right.
I don't like GE's third vote.
unvote; vote: GE

[Askthepizzaguy]

Secura is right.
I don't like GE's third vote.
unvote; vote: GE

D E and Robbie
Sitting in a tree.... K-I
S-S-I-N-G.

[Secura]

We could screw up, though.
There is scope for a bad lynch.
Maybe even two.

Therefore, three lynches.
If robbie is scummy, lynch.
I reckon he's town.

[robbiecon]

I disagree, love.
Robbiecon has big balls, yes.
I have seen them shine.

You have seen them shine,
but as of late thanks to fate,
it's gone the other line.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You have seen them shine,
but as of late thanks to fate,
it's gone the other line.

I think it is true
One of you is red, one blue
But I don't know who.

[PershsNhpios]

Secura know this,
we may write just one haiku,
per each spritely post.

[Secura]

One haiku per post?
We did that in the first game.
Too many pages.

Seriously, we had more posts and pages than some large games. >.<

[PershsNhpios]

I make no rules here,
O unscrupulous maiden,
I only obey.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I make no rules here,
O unscrupulous maiden,

G-L-E-N-N
Would you please break this tie, friend?
A tie does not help.

[PershsNhpios]

Make then a tally,
Of those for whom we voted,
Show me who is tied.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Make then a tally,
Of those for whom we voted,
Show me who is tied.

I do not know why :embarassed:
I double checked and it seems
There was not a tie....

:wall:

[PershsNhpios]

This is the reason,
You poorest of accountants,
That I asked for proof.

[Subotan]

Seriously, we had more posts and pages than some large games. >.<
It's intentional
To make talking difficult
Say more and speak less

[Subotan]

Chosen by his peers
Accused of killing the lord
But now dead as well

It is now the Night phase. The day phase will begin in about 22 hours.

I vote: Diamondeye
only room for one of us
with diamond round things.

[Diamondeye]

That's rubbish, Pizza.
The more the merrier, right?
Vote: Secura; girl. :tongue:

[Askthepizzaguy]

What? Why Secura?
Is there something wrong with me? :cry:
I feel so unloved.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Are you avoiding
The OMGUS vote
because it's "scummy"? :inquisitive:

[Askthepizzaguy]

What's the big theory?
Why is Secura a scum?
Just a hunch, DE?

[Diamondeye]

OMGUS
is more "bad idea" than scummy.
You seem innocent.

[Askthepizzaguy]

OMGUS
is more "bad idea" than scummy.
You seem innocent.

I feel uneasy.
Rarely do I ever get
"you seem innocent".

[Diamondeye]

It is a hunch, yes.
Secura defended Rob
without her vote, though.

[Diamondeye]

Yesterday, her vote
last night, he died. Worth a thought.
But only a hunch.

[Diamondeye]

Pizza, we both know,
you should cherish the seldom
"You seem innocent".

[Diamondeye]

Now, I'm out of here.
Going to GE's house today.
Real-life scumhunting :tongue:

[Askthepizzaguy]

Pizza, we both know,
you should cherish the seldom
"You seem innocent".

Should I, Diamondeye?
Sounds like baseless flattery.
Gift horse in the mouth....?

:embarassed:

[Secura]

That's poor reasoning.
A vote by day, kill by night?
Not my style, sorry.

[Secura]

But, if more think scum?
Town can afford one wrong lynch.
So, vote Secura?

[Askthepizzaguy]

That's poor reasoning.
A vote by day, kill by night?
Not my style, sorry.

Then should I worry?
It would be more your play style
To leave me around....

:yes:

[Diamondeye]

Look at it this way:
If Robbie was innocent,
Prime suspect: GE

[Diamondeye]

If Robbie was scum,
Secura is prime suspect.
One of them should hang.

[Secura]

So, there are two scum?
In a seven person game?
The first game had one.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I don't follow you.
I don't see why you're above
suspicion, D-E.

[Secura]

rob seemed town to me.
His play was far too risky
For a scum to make.

[Askthepizzaguy]

"G-L-E-M-M"
Why is he not suspected?
Why only those two?

[Secura]

And Pizza, my friend.
The killer leaves you alive
For that reason, probs.

[Askthepizzaguy]

On second thought, here
I think Emp is worth a look
So I shall switch, and

unvote, vote: God Emperor

[Askthepizzaguy]

Secura/DE
Not likely *both* are scumbags
Who would mafia let live?

[Askthepizzaguy]

GE not aligned

And Arpeg lies dead

[Secura]

When you say it so...
I think vote for Diamondeye.
Something just feels off.

[Askthepizzaguy]

GE not aligned
With DE or robbiecon
And Arpeg lies dead


.....


He's not my partner.
If GE is scum... then Glenn
or Secura is.

[Secura]

Firstly, Secura:
Tied by voting and defense
To two dead players.

[Askthepizzaguy]

He's not my partner.
If GE is scum... then Glenn
or Secura is.

Unsure about Glenn
Unsure about Secura
But GE: could be.

[Secura]

Left alive, target.
Friendship with Pizza, more proof.
Therefore, good lynch bait.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Unsure about Glenn
Unsure about Secura
But GE: could be.

Reminder to all
If there are two scumbags here
This is final lynch.

[Secura]

He's not my partner.
If GE is scum... then Glenn
or Secura is.

This is very odd, friend.
Not the first to say two scum.
The first game had one?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Reminder to all
If there are two scumbags here
This is final lynch.

Vote must be 4, 1
Not 3, 2; needs decisive
Or else scum can switch.

[Secura]

Oh, now I see it.
I finally read writeup...
Two traitors, not one.

[PershsNhpios]

Please friends do not think,
That I be chauvinistic,
To vote: Secura

[Askthepizzaguy]

This is very odd, friend.
Not the first to say two scum.
The first game had one?

Always assume worst
Do not assume there is time
Play it safe, think two.

[Secura]

G-L-E-M-M.
I think he is innocent.
Just too inactive.

ROFL, then he posts!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Please friends do not think,
That I be chauvinistic,
To vote: Secura

The other shoe drops.
I suspect Glenn and GE
4 votes on Emp, please.

[Secura]

Diamondeye, God Emp...
Possibly the two traitors.
My choice for the lynch.

[Secura]

Please friends do not think,
That I be chauvinistic,
To vote: Secura

If there are two left...
Well, this vote means town defeat.
Don't lynch Secura!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Diamondeye, God Emp...
Possibly the two traitors.
My choice for the lynch.

Then we agree on
God Emperor. Need 4 votes.
Will you switch your vote?

[Secura]

Time to unvote, then.
I trust you on this, Pizza...
vote: God Emperor.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Please friends do not think,
That I be chauvinistic,
To vote: Secura

You too, Glenn mah boy
or tomorrow you will hang
I promise you this.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Scum are two of three:
GE, Glenn, and Diamondeye
There can be no doubt.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Scum are two of three:
GE, Glenn, and Diamondeye
There can be no doubt.

Which two of the three?
Can we determine this with
An analysis?

[PershsNhpios]

Do not pressure me,
I am tired; not guilty,
I've no time for poems.

[Secura]

Analysis is tough!
Haiku and disjointed posts...
Not very helpful!

[Askthepizzaguy]

Which two of the three?
Can we determine this with
An analysis?

If GE is scum
DE could be Wi-Fom-ing
But look at round one.

[Secura]

However, should try.
But where do we start, Pizza?
G-L-E-M-M?

[Askthepizzaguy]

If GE is scum
DE could be Wi-Fom-ing
But look at round one.

DE votes for Glenn
GE votes for Diamondeye
Now DE says Emp.

[Askthepizzaguy]

DE votes for Glenn
GE votes for Diamondeye
Now DE says Emp.

DE not scum with
Glenn for sure, or with GE
Now Glenn hesitates

[Askthepizzaguy]

DE not scum with
Glenn for sure, or with GE
Now Glenn hesitates

Does not want to vote
For God Emperor today

Haiku is great fun!
But the disjointed posting?
Mighty annoying!

[PershsNhpios]

I laugh heartily,
At your brave idiocy,
And now embrace sleep.

[Secura]

You "laugh heartily"?
If you are town, poor defense...
Look scummier, now.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I laugh heartily,
At your brave idiocy,
And now embrace sleep.

say: "pizza blinds town".

private talk isn't good

I can talk here though

[God Emperor]

you and Secura
the conclusions you reach
are completely off

That is not the point
You are hiding: you're lurking.
I sense fear in you.

he tries to lynch me!

so you may be next

Just so you all know
I give Glenn a double "M"
Due to his first post

But the disjointed posting?

OK, if it's bad
Multiple poems per post
Are now permitted

[Askthepizzaguy]

Just so you all know

Due to his first post

I know this much, 'tan.
Reduce his scum, it does not.
Very funny, though.

[God Emperor]

please don't them live
Secura and the pizza
they act off imo

[Secura]

you are kidding me
DE can't be my buddy
he tries to lynch me!

This means nothing, though.
Attempt at distance, maybe.
You still look scummy.


you are off matey
you should suspect Secura
I Vote: Secura

What are the reasons?
Explain Secura vote, now.
Town lose if I die.


please don't them live
Secura and the pizza
they act off imo

We act off, do we?
Ha, we have you figured out!
Nervous scum, funny.

[Secura]

Pizza, this is over.
If I avoid the lynching...
Outcome, obvious.

You or I will die.
That breaks up our votes, bad news.
Two versus one, dead.

[Diamondeye]

I am so scared-ed.
Please don't kill me.... I'm too weak
Help me Anakin.

Fret not, I am here.
to unvote and vote:GE
and Glenn tomorrow.

[God Emperor]

IF there are two scum
then there will be no next day
as I am townie

All seem to vote me
meaning that scum wants me dead
and so some are off

I don't get glenns vote
his reason for voting me
was never uttered

I said Secura
she was easily convinced
by ATPG

if you wish to win;
win a townie victory
then you will unvote

[Secura]

Easily convinced?
It was rational thinking.
Pizza made more sense.

You say you are town
And I know that I am clean...
So who is scum, then?

[God Emperor]

maybe glenn could be
he simply skated along
I Unvote; Vote: Glenn


I have seen enough,
To feel sure of a swift change,
Unvote; Vote: GE

[God Emperor]

no one unvotes me
scum apparently lay low
waiting for the win

[Askthepizzaguy]

no one unvotes me
scum apparently lay low
waiting for the win

Scum already flinched:
Voted Secura, then tried
to bus their partner.

[God Emperor]

you are wrong pizza
and I believe you know this
but I will die now

[Secura]

You say he knows this?
What do you mean by that, Emp?
You think he is scum?

[God Emperor]

it is possible
usually he listens
but now he is stuck

[God Emperor]

all votes are on me
doesn't that suggest you are wrong?
Do you even care ? :P

[Secura]

That's a silly Q.
If this lynch is wrong, we lose.
No second chances.

Yes, there are four votes.
But, scum-bussing possible.
Cannot discount that.

However, fair's fair.
I will unvote you for now.
And listen to you.

If you are not scum
(which still can't be discounted)
Then who is, GodEmp?

[Askthepizzaguy]

I go to work now
Secura, your vote must stay.
Cannot let them tie.

[God Emperor]

I don't have answers
but I can make some guessing
let's see what we got

first one is DE
active - yet avoids this thread
but I am not sure

glenns vote on me
struck me as a little quick
but else he is fine

Then there is pizza
too focused on lyncing me
which is unlike him

he is on my list
and the highest ranking man
Unvote; Vote: pizza

[God Emperor]

that is what I mean
why must your votes stay on me
why isn't talk good Piz'

[Secura]

You say "unlike him".
But this game is different.
This is end-game lynch.

Wrong lynch, town will lose.
Hence Pizza's focused voting.
We have to be right.

So, him acting off?
Insufficient evidence.
Need better reason.

[God Emperor]

then you may lynch me
I can't spawn better reasons
because I will die

[Secura]

You know what, GodEmp?
Empassioned pleas like yours now
Just don't seem scummy.

That's a game-changer.
If you are scum, then well done.
Deserve win for that.

Pizza as scum, though?
I'm more inclined towards Glenn
So he gets my vote.

[PershsNhpios]

It is one of two,
Who are mafia here,
DE... Secura?

Unvote; Vote: Diamondeye

[Secura]

Where's the reason, Glenn?
If two mafia remain
I cannot be one.

We have to assume
(as no reveals on death)
That there's still two scum.

Four votes versus one.
That's victory for two scum.
Why would they change vote?

Ergo, I am town.
Your own vote shift, however...
That looks scummy, sir.

Why the sudden change?
As soon as the balance shifts
So too does your vote?

[God Emperor]

to help my townies
I will vote with Secura
I Unvote; Vote: glenn

[Subotan]

And thus it was so
God Emperor was voted
Most likely to kill

Next phase will be in about 24 hoiurs. Ish.

[Askthepizzaguy]

That sounds promising.
Game would be over if we
lynched no mafias.

[Subotan]

There are no reveals
If it looks as if there might
Look away, it ain't

[Subotan]

Secura was found
Lying all over the room
Still one scum to find


Diamondeye
Glemm
Atpg

Robbiecon
God Emperor

ArpTHIS
Secura

[Secura]

Twice in one hour?
My point is proven, really.
Big threat when townie?

[God Emperor]

the game is still on
that means robbie was scum
let's look back and see

[God Emperor]

I would vote DE
imo he has been lurking
that is a bad sign

robbie helped De
By voting arpeg day on1
then it was even

DE spoke against
the lynch of robbie the scum
Shall we lynch DE?

[Secura]

Wouldn't surprise me.
It's up to the living, though.
Make the right choice, gents.

[PershsNhpios]

I cannot but fear,
ATPG is the same,
Whether town or not.

If Diamond is scum,
He cheats the game by lurking,
Which ****es me off.

If ATPG?
I was right then from the start,
And should trust instincts.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Vote: DiamondEye

[Diamondeye]

Aha - one good lynch.
I think it might be GE.
And Glenn is his mate?

My instinct says so.
I will vote: Glenn then, and sleep.
It's three AM here.

[PershsNhpios]

Good, I am most pleased,
That my vote was rightly placed,
What say you Pizza?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Today, I vote:Glenn
He can't write a good haiku
not even spell "in".

DE "the scumbag":
Votes for Glemm right away here.
Leaves the Glemm alive?


A cherry-pip has,
More intelligence than you,
I vote: Diamondeye

OMGUS:
Reason why it is scummy.
Because scum do it.


Secura is right.
I don't like GE's third vote.
unvote; vote: GE

DE not with him.
If Emperor was a scum
DE was not one.


I feel uneasy.
Rarely do I ever get
"you seem innocent".

I still think this way.
It does seem odd that he would
write me off as clean.


Look at it this way:
If Robbie was innocent,
Prime suspect: GE

Very aggressive;
Necessary for townies.
Scum hate making foes.


If Robbie was scum,
Secura is prime suspect.
One of them should hang.

Attempted reason
And finger of suspicion
Trying to win game.


Fret not, I am here.
to unvote and vote:GE
and Glenn tomorrow.

Declares his intent;
This is good for a townie.
Very convincing.


It is one of two,
Who are mafia here,
DE... Secura?

Unvote; Vote: Diamondeye

Ever so wrong, Glemm.
Secura was not a scum.
And DE? You jest.


I cannot but fear,
ATPG is the same,
Whether town or not.

If Diamond is scum,
He cheats the game by lurking,
Which ****es me off.

If ATPG?
I was right then from the start,
And should trust instincts.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Vote: DiamondEye

DE did not lurk.
He was more active than you.
And tried harder too.


Aha - one good lynch.
I think it might be GE.
And Glenn is his mate?

My instinct says so.
I will vote: Glenn then, and sleep.
It's three AM here.

Glenn was forced to bus.
I believe he is the scum.
He was too passive...

Reactionary;
He was not a leader here
He took too few risks.

I can't overlook
DE's game as town or scum
Was better than Glenn's.

Congrats Diamondeye.
Now you must hold to the line;
Do not second guess.


Vote: Glenn

[PershsNhpios]

Congratulations,
Are due to Diamond alone,
Unless you're scum pizz'.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Congratulations,
Are due to Diamond alone,
Unless you're scum pizz'.

Fine! Name DE's friend.
Who was his scum partner, Glenn?
What's the big theory?

I can't find one match.
I don't think it's plausible.
You should have killed me.

[Subotan]

And Glenn was thus slain
Condemned for his treason
Pizza and DE

However, too bad
ATPG was just wrong
DE was his foe

DE cackled loud
Thrust his Western bayonet
In Pizza's belly

DE upped sticks
Fleeing into the dark night
A mafia victory

[Secura]

I know it's easy to say this in hindsight, but I would have gone with Diamondeye myself; there was just enough in Glenn's haiku that would make me give him the benefit of the doubt, principally his approach to Diamondeye's relative inactivity compared to everyone else, and I kinda just knew Pizza was town too... so DE was the only logical conclusion for me to make.

Very good call from Glenn and GE to get that right.

T'was probably unlucky for robbiecon to get lynched so early, but in a seven-man game with two mafia and no reveals at all, the town really needed that sort of luck to stand a chance of winning. I'd be interested to see the private discussions between you both and the thought processes behind each kill, at any rate.

I must admit that Glenn's exclaimation earlier does hold some merit, though; Diamondeye, you did drop off the radar a fair bit and cease posting while the town just discussed things around you, which for me isn't really the ballsy play I like to see from mafia in games of this size and was just a little bit too lurky for my liking, though I can understand why you did it considering your recent luck of being mafia in nearly every game you play! :P

For shame, good sir... but kudos on winning nonetheless. :bow:

[Subotan]

The town did have an extra boost, but the mafia neutralised it pretty early on, and even though it had a chance to come into play, you lynched the wrong guy in the second say.

[robbiecon]

A good job DE,
to deceive those around you
in this time of need.

I know I did not
have to write a haiku for this,
but I find them bliss.

Twas disappointing
to be killed off so early
but I guess that's life.

For Secura I
can tell you there was little chat
I send a PM once.

It stated Watsons,
if you catch my drift and no
words of significance.

I enjoyed it though,
while my stay was short and hope
to haiku again!

[Diamondeye]

After Robbiecon got smashed in the first round I just aimed at winning. I'm not too proud of diving below the radar and stop posting the last day once Pizza voted the way I wanted him to, but I had to do it to win.

Secura; There was no discussion of the kills. I made the calls.

[God Emperor]

gratulation diamondeye and robbiecon :)

Edit: I am actually a bit amazed by your activity in this game secura. . although I was lynched, you tried to give me a second chance .. and you showed mind-process that wasn't rigid in any way . Well done :bow:

[PershsNhpios]

Congratulations Diamondeye and Robbiecon! ATPG can't speak right now because his mouth is stuffed with ghostly words of the past.

[Secura]

The town did have an extra boost, but the mafia neutralised it pretty early on, and even though it had a chance to come into play, you lynched the wrong guy in the second say.

What was the extra boost, exactly? And I didn't lynch the wrong guy, I gave God Emperor a chance to redeem himself, remember? :P


Secura; There was no discussion of the kills. I made the calls.

I'd still be interested in how you picked your kills; I find that one of the most enchanting things about a mini-game is that the targets you pick as mafia have to be very specific and cause as much confusion as possible due to the smaller group of players for town to analyse. It's probably why I prefer them to larger games, really.


Edit: I am actually a bit amazed by your activity in this game secura. . although I was lynched, you tried to give me a second chance .. and you showed mind-process that wasn't rigid in any way . Well done :bow:

Well, there was something in your haiku that made me think "wait a minute, I've made that sort of empassioned plea as town before" and so I tried to reverse the lynch against you, but with an absent Pizza, puzzled Glenn and mafioso Diamondeye vying for your death, you didn't stand much of a chance unfortunately.

My activity was probably down to the fact that the haiku games are a great way for me to flex my creative muscles, so to speak, and that mini-games like this are always a challenge, something that I revel in far more than I do with larger games, which usually boil down to "is this the round I'm going to be killed?". :>

When I claimed that I had no idea there were two mafia, that was entirely true; I signed up for this game based on the title (since I enjoyed the first iteration so much), and didn't actually read the initial writeup at all. I went back and read it once people started talking about scum buddies and such, to make certain I was on the right lines. xD

What do you mean about the mind process part, though? *is genuinely curious*

[robbiecon]

Well, he picked the kills the same way I would have. Day 1, he probably felt ArpeggiateThis would not be bandwagoned again so decided to pick him off. For night 2, ATPG and you,Secura seemed to be the choices. A lynch was still obtainable on Glenn, so you have to keep him alive at the very least. It's all about planting seeds of doubt, and staying on the boundaries between full activity and total lurking.

[God Emperor]

I mean that townies can be very rigid once they have found a lynch target. . you went against your initial decision and that is a bit rare I think. . it's a good trait to keep an open mind at all times :)

and yeah I didn't knew there were two mafia's before you said so haha :p

Though it was naturally obvious for me to deduce that robbie was scum , DE's visit at my place the other day, sadly revealed a bit as well, although we didn't talk about the game ; DE has this awful habbit of slightly changing attitude, whenever a game name is mentioned and he has something to hide in that game :P

edit: yeah I love Haiku as well.. in fact I love poetry in general.. I sometimes spend my leisure time writing poetry hehe :p

Thanks for the game Subutan

My mind was open, but if you'd like, I can make a LOOOOONG list of games that I lost on the final rounds by changing my mind.

Sorry, Glenn acted like a scummer, and DE acted with greater risk, something I find rare in mafiosi in mini games.

[Diamondeye]

What was the extra boost, exactly?

I'd like to know as well!

Well... Robbiecon died the first day, which was a catastrophe. Looking at the remaining people, I couldn't in good conscience kill you, GE or Pizza on night 1. Mostly because it would point against me, but also because I am such a kind and compassionate person. So, between Arpeg and Glenn, I picked Arpeg. I felt at this point that Secura was good to keep around as she could be accused of being the buddy of both ATPG and Glenn, and ATPG could be the scumbuddy of both GE and Secura. I wanted to lynch GE the next day (assuming Robbie was innocent, since if it was found out he wasn't, I was dead anyway) and have someone left to blame.

I don't know if I am making jack sense here.

Second night was obvious. I had Pizza convinced of the Glenn/GE think. So Secura had to go, of course. Sorry, treacle :wink:

[Secura]

So Secura had to go, of course. Sorry, treacle :wink:

No need to apologise; I'd have voted you if I'd still been alive. :P

[ArpeggiateTHIS]

What was the extra boost, exactly?


About that: It was me. I was a politician and could either force somebody to vote with me, or force them to vote a certain person.

Lucky game actually, my first vote was against Robbiecon, and then my first (and only) ability use made Godemperor vote for Diamondeye. The game might have gone the other way had I not been cruelly, unjustly and harshly killed N1.

EDIT: Oh, and congrats to the mafia.
