View Full Version : Mini Mafia Game The Loot [Concluded]

The Loot
Lazy McCrow - chin banging against his chest - stared at his resplendent boots as he placed them, painfully, one in front of the other. The likelihood of even these majestic soles wearing out before the journey had ended was looking increasingly probable. The road onward was indeed wearisome, but at least the hard work had already been done:-
The Cathedral had been exorcised of the roaming dead; The Red Desert had been expunged of the Venomous Lurkers, and The Screaming Stone Trolls of Daorg had been, most circumspectly, silenced. Indeed, the fact that all twelve of the Evilly-Skinned and Increasingly-Fanged Demons of Hell had also been irrevocably imprisoned within the Arch-Angel Bagriel's Fastidious Cube of Frenzy - could not be denied.
The most obvious spoils of McCrow's listed tribulations were set, with fastidious efficiency, inside the weighty wooden chest that the rain-sodden hero was currently dragging doggedly behind him with his Off-Hand. The Chest was stubbornly sturdy; banded with blessed iron and secured by numerous magical seals and a plethora of runes. Chiefly contained amongst its contents was a large province-worth of gold as well as a royal whores' retirement fund of Gems.
Lazy's breath came in laboured, rasping gulps as he struggled to inhale the frosty vapours that passed for air about this windswept mountain pass, and seriously considered loosing his grasp from the heavy iron ring of the Chest for once and for all, and for good. Though the great wealth it contained might afford him an eternal princely existence, their value paled in comparison to the priceless objects now decorating his person. The Legendary weapons and Magical Items adorning the warrior were the true reason Lazy tramped across this unforgiving landscape: The monumental kudos ownership of these items would bestow , once he reached his goal, was of a worth and quality beyond the measure of any merchant, warrior or King.
But something was ...just... not quite right about one of his prizes. A feeling in his bones... in his water perhaps; was warning Lazy that something about his newly prized possessions was not all that it seemed, and that perhaps, a dark sliver of the evils McCrow had recently vanquished - yet endured.

The Role PMs have been sent
A whirlwind of snow and sleet whipped about McCrow like a swarm of icy mosquitoes and - not for the first time - he cursed his tribe for their choice of skimpy loincloth and thin leather straps; as the traditional attire for the warrior caste.
It had almost brought a tear to his eye, leaving that much treasure buried, alone, by the side of a track. But of all his spoils, the huge chest of gold and gems was the easiest for the mighty barbarian to let go. If it was cursed - let the Mountains keep it - the magical weapons and treasures about his person would ensure Lazys passage into Legend as soon as he got back to civilisation and began to brag about it.
The days march took him higher up toward the peaks of the World and the increasing chill and thinning of the air did little to improve Lazy’s temper.
As the sun began to sink, Lazy parked himself in the shadow of a suitable overhang and chewed thoughtfully on a long strip of kangaroo biltong: His brow furrowed with the effort of both the chewing and the thinking.
The insidious presence of evil still hung about him like a rank cloud. Cursing the buried treasure for still being buried and for not being cursed, Lazy took stock of his magical inventory. One of them must be cursed for sure, and he must be rid of it. But which one? Which priceless artifact must be thrown into the ravine?
‘Well don’t throw me! - I’m the most valuable of the lot!’
Lazy leapt to his feet and span around for a moment, looking in the swirl of vapour and crystal, for whoever had spoken. Cogs turned imperceptibly as the barbarian realised that the voice was emanating from one of his magical prizes.
‘Don’t throw me either! - Throw the sword!’
‘Why me? I’m not cursed! Throw the Bow!’
Lazy raised his brow.
‘So you can speak? Well, you’re the magic items - you tell me which of you is cursed and then I can get a good nights sleep!’
McCrow pulled another strip of Biltong from his pouch and settled back as the voices of the magical items began to make their points.
Just to reiterate:Each player must vote every day phase or be removed from the game. The game will not progress without each players contribution every phase. Other than that - anything goes. You can quote what you like, make up what you like, claim what you like. If you die, you can keep doing any of those things. Enjoy!
BEGIN DAY ONE (day one will end in roughly 36 hours)

Not because, why?
Hmm… let’s see. Verarde isn’t in this game – in fact he doesn’t even play over here….
[scans list of players]
Ah, yes. vote: Visorslash. Should be a suitable replacement for Verarde, seeing how both of them start with the letter V and all.
Surely he is the cursed one!

By the power of the Gerfilterfishen's Exalted Kersplatten, Vote: Montmorency.
Vote: Jarema, the gods of fickle randomness have spoken!

I am a Deathsplitter. I kill all the enemies. I have no imagination. My role is to kill enemies. That's my claim. Come at me.
Not because, why?
You're better than that.
Vote: JHT
This game is a little different to other games, in that we are looking for a serial killer (technically) rather then a mafia.
Because 1 of us is evil, they have no partners, therefore, they'd be happy with any lynch at all, rather then protecting a partner or whatnot.
Therefore, we have to be more vigilant then a usual game. I would wager one of you have an ability (beside the mafia) (and I assume the mafia can kill). Now we obviously need to not lynch that person.
That said we need a lynch to get some results, I'm willing to lynch myself, seeing as I have no abilities, if you guys want, but I would prefer to have someone else lynched.
SO for the moment, unless otherwise necessary; Unvote; Vote: Visorslash
I'm willing to lynch myself as long as I can talk after death I mean.

Lynching townies with no abilities is never a bad thing, except for when there are only four lynches, as is the case here. (Moreover, there's no functional or behavioral distinction between an SK and a lone mafioso).
I think we may safely discount Arjos and Jarema, as they have never been scum in mini-games. The correct answer must lie within this set: {JHT, Ishmael, edse}.

I wouldn't say it is never a bad thing, just that in certain circumstances it can be. And yes, there isn't a difference.
Arjos has been scum in mini games (as has BSmith, and maybe Jarrema), but your point in relation to this is what?
Ishamel is a reserve anyway.

I have the honour to break the ties? XD
Still no thanks :P
Anyway, Visor is correct, I've been mafia in minis too. But I hardly see how having been one or not, in the past, makes a valid case on anyone lol
So to recap we had:
- Visor with a D1 jokery vote.
- JHT same as the above.
- BSmith same as the above.
- I've voted to lynch someone who deserves it XD
- Memnon with a random vote.
- Monty still jokery.
- Jarema avoiding a wangon, trying to even things out.
- Visor retaliating.
Since there shouldn't be partners, this doesn't say much really.
Wagon made of a self vote and 2 regulars. Hmm.
Unvote; Vote: Jarema
yes, self vote but I still dont think it is good. I think you are vanilla innocent, as you claim, but I do not think lynching vanilla innocent is such a good idea. Rather, lets pressure someone, and if he is power role, he would have chance to reveal. I know it is not optimal, because that way power role is exposed for scum to kill, but it is better than killing vanilla townie just because it is too risky to kill power role. If you sincerely think it is, then vote for no lynch.
Montmorency
10-11-2012, 18:26
Arjos is confused.
I would be willing to vote No Lynch if everyone else is. three others are.
Lazy said standard rules apply...
Is No Lynch standard?
johnhughthom
10-11-2012, 19:36
I would say allowing No Lynch orders would not be standard.
LazyMcCrow

Is No Lynch standard?
I'm quite happy to accept any kind of vote. As long as each player makes one.
No Lynch does us nothing but let the mafia get one kill ahead. Even a random lynch is better than nothing.
Which of course throws the suspiscion onto Monty as no lynch only helps him. Whether that is from his usual stance or from being an SK, who can tell?
Lynch him, you know you want to ^^
Montmorency
10-12-2012, 03:54

Two No-Lynches for a Lynch-phase. Why not shed the useless first two days, huh? I don't think I've seen one of 6-9 minigames end on the first two rounds.
But at least Arjos isn't scum. That's always a good thing. He could really help us, I think.

‘ALRIGHT! ENOUGH!’ The grizzled warrior got to his feet and stretched. Whether it was the kangaroo biltong or the accursed artifact, Lazy’s guts were rumbling quite unpleasantly and despite the sub-zero temperatures, a hot sweat piddled from his brow.
The mutterings of the assorted magical objects stuttered to a halt while Lazy coagulated the ranting of the magical items into some semblance of order.
Visorslash: 2 (johnhughthom, BSmith,)
Jarema: 2 (Memnon, Visorslash)
johnhughthom: 2 (Montmorency, Jarema)
Montmorency: 1 (Arjos)
The message was confusing to the warrior, who was used to conducting his thinking with his assorted weaponry rather than his actual brainium. No less than three of his items had been shouted about more than the others, but Lazy could draw no conclusion as to how he should choose between them. If it was just two then sure - no problem - a quick flick of a Sovereign from his coin-purse would resolve that matter, but after an extensive search, the battle-hardened killing machine had failed to turn up a coin with three sides.
‘Fat lot of help you are’ he grumbled. ‘I’ll just have to sleep on it’ and with that, Lazy carefully placed his various magical artifacts in a sack. and wrapped himself in a thin woolen blanket before promptly passing out.
It is Night One - All players are alive - You have 24 hours to send in orders.
Montmorency
10-12-2012, 11:11
Aha - now we must vote No Lynch at some point.
Aha - now we must vote No Lynch at some point.
why?
due to superior situation because of odd/even numbers?
but, then the only thing the killer would need would be not killing for one night...
Montmorency
10-12-2012, 19:20
So we respond with another No Lynch...
I'm assuming town has a power role. Whatever that role is, the killer doesn't want to give it ample time to do its work.
Look, are you honestly saying you want 4 players in the final round? If so...
No, I am not. I was just wandering if it could end in no kill at all
but you are right about power roles

A short time before the sun rose, Lazy was awakened by a curious scuffling noise. He peered into the pre-dawn gloom and saw some kind of kerfuffle going on inside his sack of magical items. Struggling up, Lazy could do nothing but watch as his magic ring - El Ashtique's Band of Robbery - was ejected with a shriek from the bag and out into the air over the ravine. For a second, the ring appeared to hang, spinning in slow motion, before a Black fire errupted about it and time resumed its inexhorable rush. The ring plunged downward, leaving naught but a puff of smoke in the dark.
BSmith has been killed
'Well thats that settled' said Lazy and he gathered up his possessions; determined to make good progress while the weather held off.
By mid-afternoon however, sweat gushed from Lazy's body and he gritted his teeth as snakes appeared to be writhing in his belly. There was clearly still a curse about him and he laid out the 6 magical objects next to the narrow track at the edge of the mountain and bade them once again to choose which of them should be discarded.
Many years later, El-Ashtiques' Band of Robbery found its way onto the ankle of a Mountain Goat, who suddenly found that he always got the best choice of grass at family get-togethers.
It is Day two. which will last anything between 24 and 36 hours. If I have 6 votes in 24 hours I will end the day as I find it. Game On.

Night 2 4-1 5-1
Day 3 3-1 4-1
Night 3 2-1 3-1
Day 4 W/L 2-1
No Lynch is the better choice in this case, I suppose. But I refuse to vote for it, unless we have any kind of discussion in todays phase.
Vote: Memnon thoughts on the current situation?
Montmorency
10-14-2012, 06:19
Discussion? BSmith's death indicates that you may or may not actually be scum.
What is there to discuss on D2 of a Minigame?
Arjos is confused again, I see. The killer doesn't want to have a 4-player LYLO round? You know better than that...
I'd rather lynch than not, at least we have some sort of chance of getting the scum. I seem to recall Monty supporting the no lynch ploy in previous games, so his behavior doesn't seem scummy to me. Unfortunately, there's not really much that I can deduce from this situation, so I'll Vote:johnhughthom. Just to try to get some talk moving.
I am torn between your arguments and Monty's logic.
But I absolutely think it is scummy to vote for someone who pointed out such important question as Monty did, therefore I vote: Arjos
The killer doesn't want to have a 4-player LYLO round? You know better than that...
Link me to a successful one for the town then :P
Usually ends with a 2-2 vote or worse 3-1 on a townie: more people to confuse...
Unvote; Vote: Arjos
I'd also like to hear more from Johnny boy.
The 'easy' wagon of jumping on Monty is what I don't like here. It seems to me, like you want an easy vote, that has easy reasoning.
It seems to me, like you want an easy vote, that has easy reasoning.

:brood:
Nope, quite the opposite, that's what I'd see happening with the "no lynch" scenario: day phases of little to none information, and a final lynch, with no ground for investigation and the perfect place for the scum to mingle...
For example, now I have infos about you saying I'm not scum and voting to save yourself against me in a tie ^^
Montmorency
10-14-2012, 18:10
Alright, let's be clear.
Right now, we have 6. We vote to lynch, tomorrow will be LYLO with 4 players. I'm voting you because that's clearly going to happen, yet you deny it.
What I said was a ploy to get scum to NK you. Of course, I still stand by the "Arjos is scum in every minigame" maxim.
Talk to me.
I'm voting you because that's clearly going to happen, yet you deny it.

It was a tie, now it is happening...

If it was just two then sure - no problem - a quick flick of a Sovereign from his coin-purse would resolve that matter, but after an extensive search, the battle-hardened killing machine had failed to turn up a coin with three sides.
It in't too late to switch to No Lynch...
I still think that you are the killer...
My death and your "saving my ass-breaking tie unvote", will corroborate it ^^
Montmorency
10-14-2012, 18:26
Your death?
Unvote; Vote: No Lynch
Just do it.
Unvote; Vote: No Lynch
Your move EVIL...
Still if he just watches like now, this will go on a lot lol
To recap, the idea was to create a lynchbait and see the reactions...
Visor and Jarema were quite rational and usually scum doesn't join wagons on baits...
Memnon has been circumvent and kinda vague...
While JHT, nonchalant and played in the split town scenario, he's my top pick atm...

No Lynch: 2 (Monty, Arjos)
Lazy’s cramping body shook as he reached for the mighty warhammer. The magical items that were trying to persuade the warrior to keep them all piped down, as they seemed to sense his intent.
When it came to crushing enemies - quite literally: The Exalted Kersplatten was a weapon beyond compare and despite his discomfort Lazy held the weapon fondly before steeling his resolve.
With a dramatic swing, McCrow sent the warhammer arcing out over the ravine - his eyes tracking its descent into the clouds below. No doubt there would be some poor creature reduced to dust when the weapon finally completed its fall, but Lazy just felt mild relief. Hopefully now the curse would be lifted and his journey could continue with renewed hope.
IT IS NIGHT TWO - orders to me in the next 24 hours.
LazyMcCrow
10-15-2012, 12:35
Please note that I chose to accept a positive lynch vote over a no-lynch vote - even though the two were tied.
Well seems like this is in order: GAH :D
Jarrema has got to go for our next lynch. However, we are three townies down now. We have to no lynch and take our chances on who the mafia kills tonight. Most likely it will be me (I do say that a lot, but I am the most townie of you all). JHT seems town for blatantly saying don't discuss, which I find a nonscummy way of approaching things for him. With that in mind, the mafia has to be one of Jarrema and Monty or Memnon. I must admit, Memnon is up there with lynch suspects. However, we must no lynch tomorrow, as to have a 3 player endgame, which will be much better odds wise, plus even if the killer kills me, there will still be other suspects he must kill.
Montmorency
10-16-2012, 05:49
This is LYLO.
No lynch with 4 players would result in two players the next day phase, also known as scum victory.
Actually tomorrow there should be 4 players and with no lynch, the next day there would be 3 (hopefully 2 townies and the killer)...
Most likely it will be me (I do say that a lot, but I am the most townie of you all).
Yeah, of course. To me, you seem to be one of the scummiest player in this mini. I do not have time for analysis now, but anyway, it is night

The Earthsplitter was a sword so legendary, it made legends themselves seem like the idle gossip of fisherwives. The flaming fury of its blade dealt such damage that there were still entire races out there in the wilderwastes of the world, who worshipped the artifact as their one true God. It was also, Lazy had surmised, a monumental pain in the arse to carry about without singeing your ...your … well ...your arse.
But that made it no easier on the warrior, when he pulled the magic items from the sack in the morning, to find the firey sheen of the blade was dulled, its brightness lost to shadow and its magic, it’s wonderous, dangerous magic, so utterly disappeared.
Montmorency has been killed
The loss of the blade, though harsh, paled in comparison to the pain Lazy’s guts were causing him, Looking down at his forearms, he noticed a deathly pallor to his skin and began to be afraid. The curse was like no other he had witnessed. It’s insidious creeping terror gnawed at Lazy til his eyes bulged, At which point as was so often the case, his fear turned to anger.
‘Which of you IS IT!?’ he shook his trembling fists at the remaining magical items.
Which of you indeed?
Day Three is apon us and shall last 24 to 36 hours

Lazy sat staring stubbornly at the magical items laid out before him. The last thing the majority had uttered was their own stubborn refusal to have any of them discarded. Some kind of
solidarity amongst magical artifacts that Lazy respected to a degree, but which didn’t help ease the now-obvious physical metamorphosis that the barbarian warrior was undergoing. His flesh looked corpse-like and his breath had acquired a long drawn out rattle.
Finally, one of his artifacts piped up ‘Get rid of the underpants! - The underpants did it!’
Lazy looked down at the COIN-OPERATED CODPIECE OF WHANG.
The pleasurable sensations it produced (for only a small quantity of Gold) would be sorely missed, but perhaps it did indeed harbour a more malicious trait.
The sun was setting and Lazy feared that he would not see the dawn.
With a sigh he lumbered to his feet and was about to send the legendary truss tumbling into the abyss, when he halted; mid-kick.
The collective voices of the artifacts weighed on his mind. Perhaps given another day, they would root out the evil amongst them. Lazy wondered if he would see another day.
Night had fallen and sleep would not come quickly enough.
It is night. 24 hours for orders.

Lazy awoke and struggled to his feet. At first he thought some malevolent fog had descended, until he realised that the sky was in fact clear for the first time in days, but the fog that had descended was over his vision. The curse was worsening.
He fumbled for his sack ...of magical items, and drew each of them out of the bag in turn, as if somehow his sense of touch would allow him to identify which of the objects had been accursed.
The COIN-OPERATED CODPIECE OF WHANG felt as it always did - heavy and potent. His legendary helm: JHIMIHIL’S GRILLPIECE was as sturdy and reassuring as ever, and his boots, MHAXIGRYP’s SOUL CRUSHERS looked as shiny and respendant as they had always been. That was strange... where was his bow? Where was the bow of the ancients: The MAGNIFICENT GO-RHI-FROOMI?
All that remained in the bottom of the sack was a handful of splinters. Lazy let them fall through his fingers and hung his head in his hands.
Memnon has been killed
WIth a calm voice, but not without a tinge of hurt, Lazy spoke quietly:
‘Ok, which of you bastards did that?’
Day Four begins - will last 36 hours if needs be, but if everyone has had their say in 24 I shall get to adjudication
Play on
:bow:
That's a weird kill choice. :inquisitive:
Anyway, Johnny boy and Jarrema to choose from. Both are pretty scummy, though I must say I am initially leaning towards Jarema, though JHT is brazen which is often what he does as scum. More thoughts later.
Lazy, could we have 48 hours for voting please?

1. Your initial ploy.
2. You haven't been killed.
3. You didn't vote No Lynch and got Arjos killed, despite being on at various times.
4. I got a feelin'.
5. I understand precisely what JHT was doing with his vote on you yesterday: putting you into a difficult position.

1. My initial ploy is far too risky for a day one scumbag.
2. So?
3. Yes, that was my mistake.
4. A lovin' feeling?
5. With the no lynch being a certainty, how?

Any scum would have killed you N1.
His contrarianism made it impossible for him to be killed without bringing down a storm.
Visor as scum could only now kill Memnon or Jarema, and Jarema was his stated suspect, no?
Jarema as scum would have killed JHT to frame you.
JHT as scum - well, that's the 9%.
Why would I have been killed Night 1? The scum could either leave me alive, to use me as a LYLO lynch, or take the chance that the rest of the town believes me and kills me off.

They didn't go through with it, and never did - that's the point. They never would have, in a mini game. If this were a small game of Role Madness, it would have made sense to leave you alive as a target of night actions and whatnot, spoilings perhaps.
Something else I noticed: you only pushed for your own lynch half-way into the day, thus increasing the likelihood of your survival. Good plan, but I see through it.

Because I did it Day 1, yes they would keep me alive. I'm perfect lynchbait.
Monty, not only did I selfvote, but I advocated my own lynch for at least a time. Jarrema's next post was not a vote for me, like it should be.
"I would vote Visor as always, but I do not like this wagon on him"
This sticks out to me. Does it not to you?
"yes, self vote but I still dont think it is good. I think you are vanilla innocent, as you claim,"
Jarrema is completely unlike his townie self here.
"Yeah, of course. To me, you seem to be one of the scummiest player in this mini. I do not have time for analysis now, but anyway, it is night"
If JHT is scum, then I will be slightly annoyed at myself, but to me, Jarrema sticks out, from these posts alone. He's the scumbag.
EDIT: Of course JHT could've killed Memnon so that we would vote each other, and JHT cruises to victory...
It seems from your previous post that you suspect me mostly because:
1. I thought you were townie initlally, so I didnt voted for you when I should in your opinion
2. I wrote that you seem scum to me.
I stick out from accusing you alone??
Isn't it scummy, Visor?
vote: Visorslash
if JHT is sc
I do not know why6 the forum cutted that, so I repeat:
if JHT is scum, I would be surprised

Appalling...
Lynch JHT already XD

Actually, you're right - there's no way Visor would have allowed a situation wherein both of the other survivors were against him to develop. He would have killed Jarema.
Or at least would have attempted to persuade Jarema by now.
Look, if John is scum, he's really just playing with us now, by only posting a vote. Hence I think he might be a townie.
John, you need to side with me on this one (if you are town), remember the Copa Clash? We could do it again.
You're making a bad decision.

If you really think I'm scum, please give me a reason.
johnhughthom
10-20-2012, 15:26
I didn't like your asking for the 48 hours. Seems to me scum would be more likely to want the time to ensure they could talk people round.

I prefer 48 hours to 36 hours.
(Counter example of you statement is pirate mafia, with a 24 hour day, I was sure as hell not asking for extra time)

I don't remember a similar situation to this in Pirate mafia.

I was scum then, and I would not have asked for an extension. I am town now, and would ask for one. I have done it in the past as well.
Are you going to really base an endgame vote on asking for a slight time extension to make things easier?
Montmorency
10-20-2012, 15:37
Yes, scum-Visor would make a more vigorous case.
I was scum then,
You were 3rd-party - there's a difference.

TBH, I think anyone who is going to lose will benefit from extension.
And one thing is sure, the player who will get lynched now will lose.

Unfortunately, I'm Jimmy's Grill. I think Lazy cooks his dinner on me, or something. I'd love to be the Codpiece of Whang though. What a knob Lazy must have to need a Codpiece of Whang.

Cod Piece of Whang or something disturbing like that.
Jarrema, you are so scummy. :laugh4:

This will be silly, but why not:
Soulcrushing Boots - seems obvious
Codpiece of Whang - Crow is telling a humorous tale
Grillpiece of Whatever - the one least-suspected
On how the alignment of each might be deduced from name.

That's from that show: Family Matters.
Yes, but I am quoting the name Bruce Willis used whilst playing John McClane in Die Hard talking to the police officer.

These are poor jokes.

Not as poor as Visor's blatant attempt to divert discussion from the matter at hand.
why are we talking about such stuff? I do not ever know half of that
johnhughthom
10-20-2012, 16:12
Over here in the west, we have this thing called tv. On tv they show things called shows. We are discussing tv shows. In the west we watch tv instead of drinking vodka all day.

Meh. Unvote; Vote: Jarema
Visor is either town, or has worked out what I was at and deserves to win.
has worked out what I was at
dont understand
shouldnt you base vote on me on your read of me?

I'm planning at least two more. Three if I go down the old self vote route.

10-20-2012, 17:23
We are down to three people, two of us are examining the behaviour of two others, the other is trying to play the other two against each other. Only scum would be basing their vote on the behaviour of one player, a townie would be looking at both, and basing their vote on such.
yes, of course. I was just seeing your vote as based only on examining behavior of Visor
johnhughthom
10-20-2012, 18:18
And both your and Visor's votes appear to be based solely on examining each other, with a little fluff about me thrown in for good measure. :shrug:
good point :)
he just seems so scummy to me, that I have to vote for him
I believe that we are now in situation in which neither me nor Visor will change vote. I think you will decide who is going to be lynched. Therefore, it is important that you examine both sides of your choice
Montmorency
10-20-2012, 18:29
Guys, he literally just admitted to being scum! :grin:
Jarema isn't looking good tbh...
johnhughthom
10-21-2012, 10:30
There is nothing more needs to be said. Unless you are scum trying to get out of a bind.
well, I will just reiterate: the one who will be lynched now will lose, no matter if he is scum or not. So of course, I would gladely change your choice

(sorry had no Internet. Apparently Virginmedia will give me a pound off my monthly bill. Awesome.)
So: Lazy sat wearily in front of his remaining treasures, but the remaining part of him which had not yet succumbed to the vile curse, paid great heed to the back and forth of the magical items. For a while it appeared that he would indeed have to say goodbye to the coin-operated codpiece of WHANG! But at the end of the day it was the boots that had the stinky finger pointed at 'em. Lazy sighed.
He picked the boots up by their leather tops with trembling hands. The best scenario he could imagine was that he'd be walking back to Brighthelmstone in his socks.
Holding his fingers tightly crossed, McCrow took a deep breath and then flung the legendary and magical boots into the ravine. Sleep then took him and he crumpled to the floor.
It is night. 24 hours for orders. :bow:

Lazy awoke, stretched and yawned and moved to put on his boots, before remembering that he had slung them over the edge of the ravine the previous evening. Muttering a curse, he fished into his sack for the two magical items which still remained, and with a mild surprise noted that they both appeared to be in the same state they were when he put them there. It was only while sliding The Codpiece of Whang over his loincloth and placing the shining helm known as Jimihil's Grillpiece, atop his shaven pate that he realised something was missing....
The curse!
Lazy felt fine! The fog had lifted from his eyes and his skin had regained its ruddy complexion and he felt strong! Strong enough to pack up and move out. There were taverns full of eager listeners waiting for him just a matter of ...oh... a few hundred miles away, but those miles felt like a mere hop skip and a jump to the rejuvenated warrior. Soon enough people would hear of his deeds, and though his treasure haul had been dwindled significantly - it was in no way insignificant. One day he would bring a team of fine mules to collect the buried treasure! The future looked bright.
END OF GAME: TOWN VICTORY!
Thanks to those of you who participated, both for participating and for your patience; and bad luck Jarema - our curse - for falling at the last hurdle. This was a fun exercise for me, and I hope that the lack of any roles did not ruin anyone's enjoyment. I had not considered any of the implications of having just a solitary mafia/sk, so it just goes to show, that sometimes you learn more about the game when you host instead of play :D...but it's all play of course :)

Aye, before that, I didn't suspect Jarema aswell XD
Well done Visor lol
yes, you are right guys...
I am ashamed of my own dis-ability to act unsuspicious

10-22-2012, 21:25
Being scum in a final round shoot out like that is probably the hardest situation not to flinch as mafia, I've done it myself, more than once, and many people have mentioned how few scum tells I have (not trying to boast...). Nothing to be ashamed of.
yeah, but I still feel... bad with myself.
It was like an aggression during a quarell - things I wrote get spiralling out of control - worse and worse with every word.
And I couldnt stop, because I promised myself, when I started playing mafia, that I will NEVER try to win by sitting and not writing anything

As far as I'm concerned, a win through lurking and barely posting is not a win. The record books may put it down as a win, I certainly never feel that person beat me in any way.
yes, you are right guys...

You shouldn't be. You almost fooled everyone and almost won. You can point out that almost isn't winning, but you came damned close, so you shouldn't be ashamed.

Don't forget that you had Visorslash's awesome nose for scum to deal with. The two comments he picked up on from the off - i thought - we very good detection. Hats off to you Visor :bow:
yes, Visor was good at it, is true. I think town deserved this win, and it was very interesting game
