The sun was shining. The ocean was calm and blue. The temperature was warm, but not hot. A kindly breeze swept across Emile’s face as he set his chair into the white sand. “Boy, it sure was nice of the Boss to take us down here, wasn’t it?” he remarked to Frank, who was already set up and relaxing with his face aimed to the sky.

“Yeah, I was a bit surprised. I mean, you’d think, he’s coming down to Cuba for some time off with his girl, they’d keep it private. But I ain’t gonna complain. I mean, he’s got his own island off the coast!” he grinned while chuckling silently.

“Hey, you lazy bums, get up!” Al came springing across the sand. What you do think you’re doing!” The two startled out of their chairs. “Eh? What’s the deal, Al?” “Someone’s a slimy backstabber, that’s what!” Al yelled at them. “Just…. Just come on, the boss wants everyone at the camp.”

…..

“SLOBS! IDIOTS! BACKSTABBING, NO GOOD-“

“Please, sweety, calm down!” Bertha interrupted her companion as she placed a tender hand on his shoulder. Al, Frank, and Emile were just arriving at camp to witness their boss’ tirade.

“CALM DOWN?! CALM DOWN?! WHAT THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO NOW? “ He peered at the seven people around him. “Angelo’s dead,” he hissed, managing to suppress his rage a bit. “Angelo’s dead, and our boat is ON FIRE, IF YOU DIDN’T SEE THE SMOKE, YOU MISERABLE FOOLS! “

The rest of the group’s eyes widen in fear. The boss’ temper might just help someone else on the path to finality real soon. He sighed, “Alright.” The anger from his voice began bleeding out. “We’re stuck on the island until someone back at the resort notices we aint there. Shouldn’t take too long, I haven’t been paying in advance. But, Angelo demands vengeance. I know one of you sorry louts is trying to take me down. Now… I am, if nothing, a generous man. And I value the work the rest of you have done for me. So I won’t kill you all now. No, I’ve a better idea. Judging by the sun, we’ve got plenty of time before night. Before night falls, I want the lot of you to beat the truth out of whoever’s trying to do us in. And you’re gonna hand over whoever’s guilty to me. I’ll personally deal with them.

“Sweety,” Bertha nervously tweeted. “Don’t you think that’s a bit harsh to make your men start lynching each other over this?”

He raised an eyebrow at her. “Who said you were being left out of this. For all I know, you could be the one trying to do me. You could’ve taken a sweet deal from the Gambinos. Try and get close to me and then do me in. No, you’re with [I]them,” he nodded to his henchmen. He pulled out his .38 Colt and raised it to the men gathered before him. “Alright, fellas, get going.”

Welcome one, Welcome all! The Copa Clash is going to be a preview of things to come, a small taste off the new anonymous accounts system! Simply put, here's how it'll work. If you're interested, DON'T SIGN UP IN THIS THREAD. For a small little game like this, I'd like to see how things work by making it truly anonymous. If you're interested, PLEASE PM ME TO INDICATE YOU WISH TO PLAY. It will be first come first serve. I will pm you in response to tell you if you made it in. When the game is ready to start, and I have enough players, I will PM each player the password of an anonymous account, such as to Bruno (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/member.php?93674-MAFIA-Bruno) here. Thus, you will sign into the forum as Bruno for the purposes of playing the game. So, its absolutely vital that you remember to only post in the thread as the anonymous account. After each game, our Tech Admins will be changing the passwords, so no worries about multiple people having the password at once, so long as you DON'T SHARE THE PASSWORD. The Anon. accounts will only have access to the gameroom, so no going off for shenanigans in other parts of the forum. There will be seven players total.

There will be one mafioso, acting against The Boss, who will serve as the lynchmaster for the game. We'll start with a day phase.
Voting will be in standard procedure. To vote for someone during the day phase, format it as such: Vote: George. If you want to unvote, please state who you are unvoting before voting. I'll be a bit lax since its a mini game, but it really does help. As such, unvotes should be formatted as such: Unvote: George, Vote: Danny. You must make a new post to unvote, editing the previous post is not allowed.

Rules:

1) ABSOLUTELY NO CLAIMING YOUR NORMAL FORUM NAME. I don't care if its in jest. Don't wanna see it. Period.
2) No quoting/translating/transliterating host's pm's related to this game. This means role pms, the anonymous account password, anything.
3) Vote: No lynch will not be allowed as a voting option. You may abstain if you wish to.
4) No posting screenshots.
5) No suicides or wog's, hopefully. Its a mini game, folks. Don't PM me if you aren't certain you'll participate.
6) Keeping tally is helpful.
7) All day and night periods will be 24 hours.
8) Ties will be given an hour to be broken. If not broken, I'll do something horrible and random. Try to avoid them.
9) if you want to have pm exchanges with the anonymous accounts for game purposes, go right ahead. Just keep the rules in mind, no probing for regular .org ID, and no pm'ing other forum members with the accounts.
10) Have fun!

Signups: 0/7 so far.

Alright, for some reason I'm awake at 8 on a sunday morning, and signups filled fast. Still getting pm's out to those who got in and those who just missed the cut. Thanks for all the interest. :bow: Game will be starting here pretty quick.

Alright, I got pm's out to everyone who signed up. Ideally, I'd like to see the whole cast sign in and post in this thread to confirm that there's no kinks in the system. If not, I'll be starting the game around six pm/18:00 central time, about eight and a half hours from now.

Incidentally, all the male avatar mugshots are real gangsters. If you'd like to know who they are, just right-click and view image. The real person's name is in the .jpg file name. Unfortunately, only one of the female mugshots (not Bertha) is a real gangster, as there weren't many female gangsters in the 20s-60s.

The Boss paced back and forth in the sand. His suit coat had been discarded earlier in the day as his lackeys fought over who was to be turned over. Meanwhile, the only relief he could be offered was the pack of Cubans he'd picked up before they set off for the isle. When the sun was ready to set, he gave a leer at the mess of peoples arrayed in front of him. "Alright, the clock's up, idiots. Who's is gonna be?" The cast nervously glanced at each other until Bertha spoke up. "Deary, we feel like...." she cut short at his unceasing glare. "We feel like it was Fat Tony! Yes, he did it sweety pie!"

"That's outrageous! We didn't agree to that!" Fat Tony roared. "That's no majority! Three people? You gonna turn me in because of three id-" Fat Tony's tirade was cut short by a shot from Boss' Colt, square through his forehead.

"Well, what are you waitin' for?" Boss asked. "Drag the carcass out to see, I don't want it stinking up the camp." The men each picked up an arm or leg and dragged the body out to the beach side, and tossed it in with the fishes. The boss was waiting for them upon their return. "Alright, you palookas. Sleep carefully tonight. Like I said, I don't want no bodies stinking up the place, so you better not get dead."

It was such a pretty night that Guiseppe decided to take a walk The sand was cool and soothing on bare feet. He settled down about ten feet in front of the burned out husk that was left of their boat. The gentle swoosh of the waves rolling up the shore was, at least, soothing. Guiseppe felt himself nodding off. It'd been such a long day.... CRACK. Guiseppe shot awake after a time, not sure how long he'd been asleep. The remains of the boat were splintering apart and fading into the sea. Guiseppe wandered over to it, curious. He reached out to touch it as it was just about to release itself from the shore. A flashing movement caught his peripheral vision in the moonlight, but by the time he turned, the cloaked figure had swung the chunk of charred wood into his face, knocking him over. The figure pulled out a knife and buried it into Guiseppe's back as he tried crawling away. A few twists and slashes later, Guiseppe struggled no more.

The Boss addressed those remaining when they emerged from sleep the next day. "Well,it looks like you idiots are back to your old standard of excellence. Guiseppe's dead now because you can't figure out who's trying to undermine me! At least Guiseppe had the decency not to stink up camp with his body. Now, get it right this time!"

You know what? You sound exactly like that buddy of my cousin´s. No class, no style. Hear me out people. Two years a go this Vito character had a simple job. Don Tagliatella order a hit on Frankie "two nose" Linguini, because apparently Frankie had been after one of his skirt´s. Simple case. Put a bullet to the guy´s head and what this Vito character does?
He burned the house of poor Frankie, leaving his Widow homeless. Blasted his 57´ Cadillac into a gazillion pieces and while this was not enough for Vito. He strangled the pet poodle of Frankie "Two nose". In matter of fact Frankie was so heart broken that Vito never actually had to pull the trigger as Frankie blasted his own brains all over the walls of a toilet at certain strip joint on Paradise Avenue. So heart broken he was after all what Vito had done.

[MAFIA] Vito

06-01-2011, 21:03

I really don't need to hear the stories about your family and friends. I don't care about them and I can't bring myself to pretending I do... I never had anything to do with your Frankie Linguini but obviously he had to expect something like that when he crossed Don Tagliatella. Now what you describe about the story doesn't sound like my style. I deliever my boss' message personally, hand to hand, if you get what I mean and if you don't stop talking about your cousin and his love interest I sure know a lesson or two to teach you in that area, Mr. Dandy-Suit, so can we stop goofing around and focus on the matter at hand?

"Sweety, we've definitely got it this time," Bertha chirped to her darling Boss. "This Sal fellow, he's been a bit off, don't you think? We think so, don't you, fellas?" The majority behind her mumbled a bit and there was a cough or two. "Okay, well, me and Mickey are pretty sure he's been off and that's what matters, right?" The Boss raised an eyebrow at her. His crew was starting to make him nervous. They didn't seem to be very aggressive in punishing the weasel in their midst. Where was the ferocity which made these guys feared? Maybe it was for the best that these idiots were being killed off. It seemed like he was gonna need a new crew regardless if this was the best they had.

"Yeah... sure, baby doll." He aimed his Colt at Salvatore, and dropped him with a single shot between the eyes. "Alright, same idea.... just take the body somewhere else for now.... keep safe tonight."

Bertha laid on the sandy ground, staring at the night sky. The stars were so beautiful without all the bustle and lights of the big city. She wondered if this is how people in rural areas got to see the sky each night. Maybe, one day, when the boss’ fuse ran out, when he needed to finally settle down, they could make a home somewhere in the country, where they could stargaze each night. Yeah… one day, when hell froze over, she thought. Boss’ drive for money and power seemed to never end. But she knew, deep down, there was a small nugget, deep down which wanted to finally give up the crime life and finish out his days in peace, and raise a family, and do all the other things most other guys did. With a sigh, she sat up. One of these days…. A hand touched Bertha on the shoulder. “Oh, sweety, I didn’t expect th-“ Bertha’s giggle was quickly silenced by a hand around her mouth, while the other planted a knife deep into her back. Silencing the struggling young lass until she struggled no more, the grinning killer stalked off into the night.

“THAT’S IT! ONE LAST CHANCE!” Boss bellowed the next morning. “BABY DOLL’S GONE, AND ITS YOUR FAULT! IF YOU DON’T GET THE WEASEL NOW, I’M GOING TO MURDER YOU ALL ON THE SPOT! GIME ME THAT MOLE, OR I SWEAR TO GOD, I’LL SEE IN YOU ALL IN HELL AFTER I PUT A BULLET THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS!”

Day 1:

Well... first day vote, Guiseppe died in Night 1, still not very conclusive, other than the fact that there seems to be some animosity towards Renata...

In reply to myself voting for him, fair enough I'd say...

Paulie;2053320325']Unvote, Vote: Fat Tony.

I like horrible and random.

Hm... well, we're all "Mafia" in a sense here so horrible and random is probably plausible, still... Fat Tony was lynched

Nothing during Night 1, so Day 2:

Paulie;2053321215']Vote: Bertha.

Spoil my fun will you.

Well, again she was killed the night after... conclusions follow...

Mickey;2053321425']Vote: Salvatore

Right.

Mickey was in the lead at that point, taking up an offer by Bertha he voted for Sal, Bertha switched too, Sal was lynched...

So...

Paulie has voted for the person to be killed the night after twice (even though he changed his vote on day 1) - but Mafia wouldn't be so ruthless to vote for the person that they'd kill right after twice in a row... or would they? I smell WIFOM... On the first day he ended up lynching Fat Tony (with others, including me), on the second day, his target Bertha wasn't really in danger of being lynched...

Mickey has just reacted to a vote against him on day 1 (vote by me) and then on day 2 he voted for Salvatore, basically to save his own skin, or so it seems. Now that could be both Mafia or town behavior. As Mafia it's obvious why, as town after all you yourself are the only one you can be sure of so keeping yourself alive enhances the town's winning chances...

Hmmm it's tough, but I'll go with vote: Paulie for now and see what they have to say...

Bah. I got nothing. I'll wait for the last fella to weigh in.

[MAFIA] Vito

06-03-2011, 08:30

Just to answer your question:

The change to Fat Tony came because of him putting Guiseppe in the lead. Not really because that alone made him scum, rather I thought there was a vote on Fat Tony already and I wanted to see how reactions were to a tie and since he was the one putting someone else in the lead he was the obvious target... I only realized that my vote on Fat Tony was his only vote yet when Bertha voted for him but since her vote made the tie I wanted to create in the first place I let it stay...

With time clearly not on their side, the remaining goons got together one last time. Vito helped kick it off by recollecting his counterparts' previous day's behavior. He highlighted why he thought the both of them were rotten backstabbers, and why they might be trying to take down the Boss. When he was finished, Paulie and Mickey looked at each other for a bit, then back at him. "So, we're both rotten backstabbers, eh?" Mickey asked. "You trying to make us kill each other, aint ya? I think you're the backstabbing weasel, you backstabbing weasel.

"Yeah," Paulie agreed. "You're trying to make us all out the bad guys just so you aint the bad guy. Well, I think you are the bad guy. You can't fool us no more!"

With that flourish of agreement, Mickey surprised Vito with a quick knee to the gut, and the two dragged the winded man before the boss. "Boss, we've got it this time! We're positive, this is the weasel who killed your woman!" The boss raised an eyebrow at them. "He was trying to pin the blame on both of us! He's gotta be some kind of weasel!" The boss pulled out his revolver once more. Vito struggled against his captors.

"You guys got this all wrong! I aint it! Come on, come on...." The Boss leveled the weapon at Vito's face, and delivered a quick, merciful end through his forehead.

"Well, you palookas. Looks like that was it. Either we've struck gold, or pyrite. Keep.... safe tonight, watch over each other."

THE NEXT MORNING

The boss didn't sleep during the night. The tension of knowing that his gang might've finally fallen for good was too much to achieve a peaceful sleep. But sure enough, come the morn, both Paulie and Mickey were well and kicking. The boss sighed with relief. At least everyone was alive. As the other two started getting their bearings, a man in a white collared shirt and conservative, dark slacks bustled onto the camp sight. "Good to see you, Mr. Lucchese. We noticed you didn't come back to the resort two days ago. I was sent to make sure everything was alright. Your boat, did it get caught in a storm?"

"I suppose you could say that," Boss told the man. "Hey, Mickey, Paulie, grab everyone else's stuff. Looks like we're heading back." As Paulie grabbed Vito's jacket, a small, almost imperceptible note fell out of a pocket. "What's that?" the Boss asked. Paulie grabbed it, and read the note aloud.

"Vito,

Thanks again for finally realizing where the money really is. Good luck,

Al Bonnano"

The boss just shook his head. At this point, sleep deprivation had robbed him of his righteous fury. He'd deal with the Bonnanos when he got back. For now, he was simply glad to be alive, with a few of his old friends still kicking.

"Come on, guys. I'll figure out what to do when we get back. For now, its time to finally relax."

Thanks a lot for everyone's participation. We had some rough spots, to be expected. We had the occasional post that had to be nuked to help preserve anonymity. But overall, I feel like it was a pretty decent first try at the anonymous accounts. I had more or less expected the post count to be low, but I do feel like it was a bit lower than I'd expected. Hopefully this doesn't hold over to Mafia X. Thanks for the timeliness of orders from TheLastDays. It was a good effort. Close, but no cigar. I think it might've been better to try and settle on a single target for the lynch rather than pin some blame at both. But that's just my observation. Again, thanks to everyone! We'll see in the Frontroom!

Well at least I figured out who Visor was, I'll count that as my little personal victory :-P

So... I want more town roles, I obviously suck as Mafia ^^

I'm curious how people everyone switched in between usernames. Log-in and out in the same browser? Or did you use a different browser? I ended up downloading Opera and using that.

2 near-victories? Hey, you didn't get lynched D1, and that's happened before.

Anyone here remember the Capitalist Commie? Poor Lord Winter...

As far as I'm concerned, you could have walked away with a win here, nearly did, and gave everyone a run for their money and fun was had by all. You do just fine. One wrong guess and you'd be teh winna!

Close race :beam: Well played everyone, especially our unlucky scum :tongue:

I logged off each time to log on the anonymous account... Didn't bother me a lot until I died, I just sort of gave up participating. I'm really lazy though, but I find it much easier to use my normal account, I think. It seems like I'm lynched day one even when anonymous, so there :tongue:

Do you guys have any comments about the anonymous accounts themselves? You're the first test subject privileged few to use them, so if you think we could improve them in certain ways, we'd love to hear it.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who posted under their usual name, it's easy to forget to sign in under the anonymous account to post. Too fiddly for my liking, I'll probably not play any games that require using them. They are still a good idea though, and I totally get the reason for using them. I just like clicking a tab and going to a website, signing in is so 90s man. And I don't want to have to use another browswer.

Nice game guys. :2thumbsup:

My feelings in terms of the anonymous accounts are mixed as of right now. I didn't personally have much of a problem just logging out as GH, logging in as Bertha, posting, and logging back in as GH, but I can see where it would be a bit tiresome. Perhaps there could be a way to, at the start of every game, tie the anonymous accounts to somebody's username and just have a button or something that says "Post as ________".

Since Mafia X is due up in about two and a half hours, I need to make a decision on how inflexible I want to be with the anonymous accounts. :sweatdrop:

I thought using the anonymous account seemed a bit strange, but it'll just take some time to get accustomed to the change. I like the idea though. Would have liked to be able to change the posts per page on the other account but that's just my personal preference.

GH's idea sounds good to me if that was at all practical. I think playing larger games with these accounts may cause people to be annoyed with logging in and out. More posts, etc. Idk just some thoughts.

Hmmm... I don't think that will be possible, but I'll see if there are other options available. Regardless, it won't be ready by your deadline for Mafia X, so don't wait on it.

I think using different browsers will work well enough for me for Mafia X, but if there is any way to make it more seamless going back and forth that doesn't require separate browsers, it'd make it considerably more user friendly.

I think it would be cool to allow mixed usage of [MAFIA] accounts and regular accounts in the future, assuming we do at least one large all-MAFIA account game.

Reason is, some folks like myself might enjoy a little anonymity now and again. :D

As was just proven I am still going to hang D1. So what's the use of anonymity :tongue:

Visor

06-06-2011, 07:29

I don't mind the anonymity, but I prefer posting with my own account. Let them all guess what they will. They're all wrong. :D

Must be a curse man...

Anyway I think the anonymous accounts are fun, especially if you can have both games with and without them... And let's kill Visor...

Visor

And let's kill Visor...

You can try. But the town will usually lynch me first.

One day I'll be scum and they'll be right.
