Sorry. Cowhead is quite correct. Beirut received 13 votes, not 12. Post 224 has been corrected to reflect the accurate count. If our mod would be so kind as to adjust the info thread?

What idiot came up with the idea for this big a scenario with this much counting....:dizzy:

Lots of PM's not yet in -- under 4 hours to go.

Groups must not only delineate the same action, but must name their coordinating members. Questions? PM me.

Clearing Messages:

Check its box, go to the bottom of the PM Box area, change it to read delete, then hit "go" and all of the PM's go phhht into cyberia.

Any who miss PMs will be listed as sleeping -- but miss enough and I might have to WoG for that too.

Folks:

Some still haven't PM'd or posted..:inquisitive: Edit: 28 of you!

Also Let me say again:

Night-time PMs must include: Action, & names of those coordinating with if any.

ALL members of a coordinating group must separately send in PMs that mesh in order for those orders to go through as planned.

If there is a general call for a short extension to clean this up, I will accomodate that.

Questions as to formatting etc. Please ask -- as Ironside quickly proved, the game system is not yet seemless and I will clean up any flubs quickly.


As to a Townie Win:

Long about round 14, the referee can clock both boxers -- as they've exhausted and hammered on each other.

If you ask me the phases should stay 24 hours. It would be really annoying to deal with deadlines that differ from (real life) day to day.

Night One Wrap Up


Sasaki Kojiro walked home through a drizzle of sleet after a quiet dinner at a local café/diner. The food had been good, the wine had imparted just a bit of a pleasant glow. He looked up as the big Packard rounded the corner, splashing water and slush onto the folks waiting for the light to change.

He was in the middle of the block, standing there as the Packard cruised closer, windows dropping and shotgun muzzles coming into view.

A jolt of adrenaline gave him speed – but there was nowhere to go!

Then the even more unexpected happened. As the Packard slowed, two figures in trench coats and hats leaped out coming, seemingly, from nowhere. One got between Sasaki and the Packard, took a shotgun blast in the gut and went down. The second swept Sasaki’s feet out from under him, knocking him flat and stunning him…just as the steel doors of the loading elevator for the café snapped up – absorbing the shotgun blasts that didn’t go over the now-prone Sasaki. The second figure never stopped moving, rolling through Sasaki’s legs, into the slush of the gutter and then getting up and sprinting into the shadows across the street.

The Packard stopped suddenly, an arm sticking out from inside lobbing a grenade back at the still stunned Sasaki. A third figure swept out of the shadows, whipping a Louisville Slugger around to bat the grenade back toward the Packard. It exploded in mid-air, doing no harm except to the paint. With sirens already closing, the hit team in the Packard sped off into the night. By the time Sasaki got groggily to his feet, all three of his masked saviors had disappeared….one leaving a trail of blood. Sasaki warily returned home – sleep no longer an option.

Across town, Proletariat was pulling out the key to the front door of her Brownstone, when a shadow broke away from the alley between her home and the neighbors place – a cloaked shadow with a very long knife! She dropped her keys in alarm as the shadow rushed forward, bracing herself against her door for a desperate struggle – only to have the door open quickly behind her. She fell through the doorway to safety as her would-be attacker rushed at her – only to be met with a door slamming into his face. A cry of pain was following by the sound of retreating footsteps fading into the dark and rain. Prole’ looked at the now-locked door…she was virtually certain she’d locked it as she left. Adrenaline still giving her the shakes, Proletariat decided she would open that nice Red after all. For her too it would be a restless night.

GeneralHankerchief, by contrast, worked late (nothing exciting) and then went home and slept well – and too deeply. He never heard the soft crack as the window of his back door was broken to get to the lock. Nor did he hear the feet on the stairs or the gentle tiptoeing across his bedroom’s Persian Rug. He heard the gentle <<cough>> of the silencer only faintly, and only very briefly. Then he heard nothing again. When Seamus’ micks swung by to take him to the morning meeting, they found him dead with a note pinned to his pillow. On the way to report in they managed to lose the note.

Chief Fermanagh announced the grim news of the evening’s events and quietly turned over the lynch-voting to Beirut.

He walked away silently, still shaking his head and muttering…

“Just doesn’t seem like it’d be one gang….”

A couple of nice dodges there it appears.....and mafia dons get protection from their lucas, do they? Unless, protection was organised for them in advance, which would appear just to be too uncannily accurate to be true.

So from the description of the attempts (3 vs 3, and 1 vs 1), I'm going to surmise that Prole was either protected by a Luca or a Doctor, & Sasaki was protected by friendly townies. So, on the balance of this (v. tenuous) evidence, & to jostle things up a little,

I have heard from various sources that GH was a pro-town role, which may mean that pro-mafia people may have got wind of it too. I'm not sure how much information on other players Seamus gives in the introductory PMs, and I suspect he wouldn't say even if I asked.

However, to kick off discussions, I will express my suspicions about you, Ichigo. In post #169 (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showpost.php?p=1389438&postcount=169), you encouraged us to select you as Director, warning us about Beirut's axe in the back. Now since Beirut's axe has no bearing on this game, I have to say this is classic meatballing (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=70374). Combined with your eagerness to get an unkillable role, I would say you are mafia, possibly even a Don, looking for safety from other gangs while orchestrating the discussion. What says you to this?

Edit: Hyperlinking post #169.

Crazed Rabbit
01-18-2007, 22:17
If GH was a pro-town role, and if he shared that info with some people, perhaps he could reveal who he talked to.

That might give us an idea of where to begin. Of course, those he talked to might have talked themselves.

Pannonion has a point about Ichigo's 'meatballing', but it doesn't seem that likely to me that Ichigo is mafia.

I think abstaining for now is good, but we probably want to vote this round due to the odds of lynching various roles.

CR

Csargo
01-18-2007, 22:20
Your Role: Townie

Your basic mode for success is to vote to lynch Mafiosi, eventually removing the mafia threat from Fatlington and creating a town win.

Role Changing:

At your discretion, however, this role can change. This will take time, effort, and coordination with other townies. If you:

Combine with 3 other townies you can attempt to kill one target per night (after two successful kills, you will become a “Wise Guy” and can progress from there).

Combine with 2 other townies you can attempt to protect one target per night (after two successful protections, one of you may become a “Doctor “ and can progress from there).

Creating these combinations is up to you however, and you will have to work out your own deals/contracts/arrangements for forming such a combo with the other players.

PM’s:

Each night you are still alive, PM me with instructions for your actions that night. These may be:

“Get some sleep” “Protect so-and-so in combination with player 1, player 2…” or “kill so-and-so in combination with player 1, player 2…”

Warning: if the requisite number of townies is NOT available, the protection/kill effort will almost certainly fail. If a townie attempts a kill/protection solo, the effort will certainly fail, and there will be at least one chance in three that the townie will perish in the attempt.

Investigations:

It is most probable that, if investigated by a Detective or by a Made Gangster, you will be discovered as “innocent.” Remember, however, that a significant minority (20%) of townspeople will register as “unclear” rather than innocent if investigated by a Made and as “criminal” (5-10%) if investigated by a detective. You will only register as “guilty” if you have participated in a killing.

Getting Recruited:

What if a Mafioso seeks to recruit you? You can respond as you wish to such an offer. However, if they believe you to be a Wise Guy and use you as part of a kill team, that team will very likely fail unless you are an “extra” and they already have sufficient killers on the team.

meh I'm the one who tried to kill Prole.


Edit:


Hello Ichigo,

I who wrote this message, am of the Maffia. Let me get to the point at once: we might be interested in recruiting you.
At this point we can't be sure if you're just a regular townie, or have a special role. As you could have derived from the rules, we only may investigate two people every night.
Since we can't be sure of you, you must start earning our trust...if you're interested, of course.
We want you to kill a person. Assuming you're just a regular townie: you'll need to find 3 co-conspirators to carry out a succesful murder. You'll need to do this yourself.
As for your victims: pick one of the following:
Banquo's Ghost, Doc_Bean or Proletariat
Your conspirators may not include: Beirut, ByzantineKnight, Cowhead418, General Hankerchief, Hepcat, HughTower, Ignoramus, Kommodus, Kralizec, Pevergreen, Redleg, Reenk Roink, Sasaki Kojiro, Sir Moody, The Stranger, Ultrawar or Zalmoxis. You may not include one from the list of potential victims either, even those you did not select for the kill.
If you manage to pull it off this night-phase, well done. The next nigh-phase would be acceptable as well, however.
You may mention to your fellow conspirators that this act is to bring you into the good graces of one of the crime families (and that they’re also eligible), but you may not mention the contents of this PM.
When you have arranged the conspiracy and sent a PM to Seamus Ferganagh indicating that you want to kill someone from the list of potential victims, PM AndrestheCunning back and ask him to deliver it to his Maffia contact, before Seamus Ferganagh posts the results. When you’ve completed your mission, we just might have a career opening for you.

Signed: a maffioso

I got this from Andres. I don't feel I'm capable of playing two games right now with things going as they are with my life. Atleast I found a mafioso this might even discourage them from trying to recruit other players. Do with it what you will what I have given. I think a GF resides in one of those bolded players.

So from the description of the attempts (3 vs 3, and 1 vs 1), I'm going to surmise that Prole was either protected by a Luca or a Doctor, & Sasaki was protected by friendly townies.

Murder attempts can also fail because not enough PMs were sent to make it happen.
I have no idea who to blame for this...if everybody abstains resulting in 0 votes, does the director have the authority to execute everybody?

Crazed Rabbit
01-18-2007, 22:25
What? Are you serious? If you're a townie, you would've had to team up with some other people, you couldn't just attempt a kill yourself. Of course, the kill did fail, and perhaps too few townies was the cause.

I changed my mind. I was going to try to infiltrate the GF's team then kill them from the inside sacrificing myself, but I don't have the time nor the mental ability to do this because of somethings going on in my life. I guess mental ability isn't the right word somethings in my life right now are very troubling on me and I don't really want to be a burden to the townies. With the things going on I don't think I'de be able to put forth all of my effort into taking down the mafia in this game. I'de be more of a burden if anything.

If Andres isn't mafia, then he has a mafia contact, and I would like to hear from him. Ichigo has convinced me he is a townie, so if he says Andres has incriminated himself, I'll vote for him unless he can make a good case for himself (as Ichigo has).

Ichigo, if you want to end your game while proving what you've said is true, vote for someone else and ask Seamus to kill you off in addition to the regular execution. As it is, you're wasting a vote, and if you don't get enough votes, you won't get your desired lynching.

I think Andres was just the messanger. I doubt he wrote the actual PM the GF probably did that, and of course the GF wouldn't send me the PM himself.

Why would he fake it in that detail? And more importantly, why would he fake it at all.

A simple couple of lines could have substituted for that extensive thing. Also, why would he select Andres as a contact and not someone naturally suspicious - like Sasaki (or Lemur:laugh4: ).

Now, your barely explained intervention seems just *slightly* suspicious. In addition, you're in the PM as 'unselectable'. Congrats :inquisitive: - Gentlemen, I think we have a secondary target.

Oh - could I humbly ask for the help of a doctor for this turn. Accusing Ultrawar, who is, I believe, a Mafioso, can't be safe. Another family might also want to nail me to place more suspicion on Ultrawar.

Interesting choice of targets. Presumably they are going after those they feel would be most dangerous as mafia, knowing that if they are town they will continue to work for the town. Or else they are just new. I think it's the former though.

The PM looks reasonable enough, so my vote will be for Andres until he defends himself. I have to admit though, I wouldn't start a PM with 'I am Mafia' if I was trying to recruit, so I am a little dubious. Still, we have enough players to soak up a few innocent losses, so I Vote: Andres. I'll probably be voting for Ichigo in the next round, just in case.

I must admit, I'm curious about the kills. Kudos to the Doctor/townie team that protected Sasaki, as he was an extremely obvious target. However, Prole I'm not so sure about. Either a doctor/townie team got very lucky, or the kill attempt was by someone other than the mafia, and failed due to lack of manpower.

The PM looks reasonable enough, so my vote will be for Andres until he defends himself. I have to admit though, I wouldn't start a PM with 'I am Mafia' if I was trying to recruit, so I am a little dubious. Still, we have enough players to soak up a few innocent losses, so I Vote: Andres. I'll probably be voting for Ichigo in the next round, just in case.

I must admit, I'm curious about the kills. Kudos to the Doctor/townie team that protected Sasaki, as he was an extremely obvious target. However, Prole I'm not so sure about. Either a doctor/townie team got very lucky, or the kill attempt was by someone other than the mafia, and failed due to lack of manpower.

No need to vote me I'm commiting seppuku. Unless Seamus has a sick sense of humor and doesn't let me kill myself.:sweatdrop: :no:

What I've learned

Since I am dead, and so early on, I have little interest in who wins and will now proceed to give you guys almost everything I know.

First of all, I confirm Ichigo's PM. My friend sent it to me in a slightly different form, where I was a target and not a "person not to tell." Oops. So yeah, find out who faked being Andres.

I was a doctor in this game. I chose to protect a newbie this first round (can't remember who, and don't really care) so that they could have the experience of living through a Mafia game.

I told the following people this role: Kagemusha and Pannonian. I believe Kage may have told some others such as Caius Flaminius. Kagemusha claims the role of wiseguy. Pannonian claims townie.

Kage approached me in the chat about forming a townie kill group. The four of us were myself, him, Caius, and Sigurd. Our first target was to be Sasaki, but Kage called it off for the first night to wait and see what would happen.

I have a friend who has given me lots of information. Including the townie PM that Seamus sent out, now posted here for all to see (in case you missed it):


Your Role: Townie

Your basic mode for success is to vote to lynch Mafiosi, eventually removing the mafia threat from Fatlington and creating a town win.

Role Changing:

At your discretion, however, this role can change. This will take time, effort, and coordination with other townies. If you:

Combine with 3 other townies you can attempt to kill one target per night (after two successful kills, you will become a “Wise Guy” and can progress from there).

Combine with 2 other townies you can attempt to protect one target per night (after two successful protections, one of you may become a “Doctor “ and can progress from there).

Creating these combinations is up to you however, and you will have to work out your own deals/contracts/arrangements for forming such a combo with the other players.

PM’s:

Each night you are still alive, PM me with instructions for your actions that night. These may be:

“Get some sleep” “Protect so-and-so in combination with player 1, player 2…” or “kill so-and-so in combination with player 1, player 2…”

Warning: if the requisite number of townies is NOT available, the protection/kill effort will almost certainly fail. If a townie attempts a kill/protection solo, the effort will certainly fail, and there will be at least one chance in three that the townie will perish in the attempt.

Investigations:

It is most probable that, if investigated by a Detective or by a Made Gangster, you will be discovered as “innocent.” Remember, however, that a significant minority (20%) of townspeople will register as “unclear” rather than innocent if investigated by a Made and as “criminal” (5-10%) if investigated by a detective. You will only register as “guilty” if you have participated in a killing.

Getting Recruited:

What if a Mafioso seeks to recruit you? You can respond as you wish to such an offer. However, if they believe you to be a Wise Guy and use you as part of a kill team, that team will very likely fail unless you are an “extra” and they already have sufficient killers on the team.

In addition, this friend has supplied me with the names of a few mafiosi, however, I don't know their families or positions.

Hm, very bizarre. I got the very same PM from Andres, as well. The third person thing is also something I noticed when reading it, and was curious who might've written (I was figuring maybe his Don)

Anyway, here it is;


Hello My Lady,

I who wrote this message, am of the Maffia. Let me get to the point at once: we might be interested in recruiting you.
At this point we can't be sure if you're just a regular townie, or have a special role. As you could have derived from the rules, we only may investigate two people every night.
Since we can't be sure of you, you must start earning our trust...if you're interested, of course.
We want you to kill a person. Assuming you're just a regular townie: you'll need to find 3 co-conspirators to carry out a succesful murder. You'll need to do this yourself.
As for your victims: pick one of the following:
Banquo's Ghost, Pevergreen, or Sigurd Fafnesbane
Your conspirators may not include: Beirut, ByzantineKnight, Cowhead418, Doc_Bean, Hepcat, HughTower, Ichigo, Ignoramus, Kommodus, Kralizec, Redleg, Reenk Roink, Sasaki Kojiro, Sir Moody, The Stranger, Ultrawar or Zalmoxis. You may not include one from the list of potential victims either, even those you did not select for the kill.
If you manage to pull it off this night-phase, well done. The next nigh-phase would be acceptable as well, however.
You may mention to your fellow conspirators that this act is to bring you into the good graces of one of the crime families (and that they’re also eligible), but you may not mention the contents of this PM.
When you have arranged the conspiracy and sent a PM to Seamus Ferganagh indicating that you want to kill someone from the list of potential victims, PM AndrestheCunning back and ask him to deliver it to his Maffia contact, before Seamus Ferganagh posts the results. When you’ve completed your mission, we just might have a career opening for you.

Well, the obvious trail for leads about the supplier of AndrestheCunning's message is that it's one of Beirut, ByzantineKnight, Cowhead418, General Hankerchief, Hepcat, HughTower, Ignoramus, Kommodus, Kralizec, Pevergreen, Redleg, Reenk Roink, Sasaki Kojiro, Sir Moody, The Stranger, Ultrawar or Zalmoxis, and that this person knows Andres (assumed due to certify a correct delivery). By Andres forum habits I would guess that the person is a frontroomer.

Possibly Dutch...

But currently I doesn't have the time to make a more through analysis so:

Maybe, maybe not. One mafia could easily say his partner was mafia.

Anyway, there is no point in lynching anyone from the list. If they are mafia they will be killed by mafia. In a day or two we'll know GH's alignment at least and can move from there.

From my substantial experience of moderating The Stranger's posts, I can say almost certainly that the PM is not him. The english is too good (No offence, TS, it's much better than my Dutch).

However, no native English speaker would take so little care of his verbs as to write

Well, this certainly has been an interesting twist. I would like to know how GH's friend got the dirt on the alleged mafiosi. One possible way GH got that info is that his friend is a sell-out. Unless I'm missing something here, and that some roles have more omniscient powers than I'm aware of, then there has to be a traitor out there (assuming the info is valid). The problem with this theory is that the mafia family who was betrayed would have an easy time smoking out the weasel. Another possible theory is that the "friend" was approached by recruiters for the mafia (or gathered info from others about other recruitment offers) and decided to speak out. Of course, this would involve some incompetency on the part of the mafia. It could also be that GH is lying, or received some faulty info. It really could just be an attempt to stir up a reaction, and to draw attention away.

So we've either got a mafioso who attempted an 'insider' role for the town (but has now been exposed to his family members), a client who wishes to punish his potential employers, or someone who's trying to get a reaction by throwing around rumors. Any other possibilities out there, anyone?

As for voting, I'm not really feeling any 'guilty' vibes from anyone at the moment, so I shall Vote: Abstain for this round.

When you have arranged the conspiracy and sent a PM to Seamus Ferganagh indicating that you want to kill someone from the list of potential victims, PM AndrestheCunning back and ask him to deliver it to his Maffia contact, before Seamus Ferganagh posts the results. When you’ve completed your mission, we just might have a career opening for you.

Signed: a maffioso

This is clearly the work of an educated non-native English speaker.

‘Let me get to the point at once’ instead of straight to the point, ‘get you in good graces’ instead of ‘get you into good graces’. ‘derive from the rules’ ‘we only may’ instead of we may only, ‘Since we can't be sure of you’. ‘You’ve’, ‘you’ll’, ‘can’t’ everywhere, instead of you have, you will or can not.

Some of these constructions would be used by native speakers, but not this many in a single short text. And I didn’t even mention half of them. There are too many of these non-native constructions. And there is a certain ‘unnaturalness’ to the language, and some spelling mistakes that are quite telling: ‘Contents’; ‘3’ not spelled in letters as in proper English; ‘successful’. Success in English has a double s, not a single one as in Flemish. Maffia is also Flemish for the more common single 'f' mafia in English.

This is the work of a Flemish or Dutch speaker, or someone impossibly good at imitating their writing style.

Wait, did I say Flemish? Isn’t AndresTheCunning from Flanders? And a lawyer, that is, an educated non-native English speaker? And isn’t surrealism a Belgian invention?


Compare:
Well actually there is some truth in that.

We have elections next year. Those elections are necessary to change our constitution and to make some important changes in the organisation of our state. Important negotiations are at hand and they might be decisive for the continuation of our country as a whole. If these negotations would fail, we might split up for real in the long run. Our state is currently in transition towards a real federal state and the current chaotic, abominable structure and organisation needs a change asap.

The "strong support for the extremistic party Vlaams belang" exists for a long time. What is new is the current position of the CD&V towards the "staatshervorming" like it is called. The CD&V, which cannot be considered as an "extremistic" party, but as a Center-right one, made some serious and rather hard statements towards the walloons. Off course, alot of walloons call the CD&V also an extremistic party nowadays, allthough their claims are very reasonable and realistic. Calling the CD&V "extremistic" is ridiculous.

Anyway, the timing for this kind of jokes could have been better.

This "joke" also shows the power of the media and how they can make us believe what they want us to believe (it lasted for more then 10 minutes, before they mentioned it was a joke, only after the walloon minister of media demanded it (RTBF is the official walloon tv-station)). Meanwhile alot of walloons were panicking and reacting with fear, disbelief and even anger. Things would have gotten out of hand very easily if it would have last for another 10 or 15 minutes.

A lot of journalists seem to have ruined their reputation, since they've lost a lot of credibility.

The current climate of our country does not leave many room for this kind of jokes and it was dumb. Very dumb and irresponsable.

As dawn begins to show its pale gray light I awake from a fitful night of sleep, body drenched in sweat from the nightmares of the past. The words of Chief Fermanagh brought back distant memories of a time past, a small town on the plains, a prairie fire, a horrible serious of murders deep in the dark, long days of death and fear as the vigilantes ran amuck not caring about the truth, only to lynch others on the slightest whim of personal slights and even older wrongs.

As I get out of my bed, I look over to an old wooden chest and begin to think about the contents contained within that ancient chest. Are the instruments of my past needed, or will calmer heads and wisdom prevail with this committee of vigilance.

As the sun breaks the horizon, the news of the nights events brings about a necessity to make a choice.

If it is slightly later than a normal time for a dutchman to be sending PMs, then I think that it is real, because consider that they would have to have spent a fair bit of time beforehand discussion and fomulating the PM.

As Redleg walks to the meeting place of the vigilance committee he ponders on the information that is known, and what can be discerned from the rumors of the towns people.

GeneralHankerchief had been murdered in his sleep with no-one coming forth that witnessed the event. Two others had attempts on their lives, but escaped unharmed. A rumor is being circulated that a foreign element is attempting to recruit members into the mafia, and in order to be enlisted into the mafia one must attempt to murder one of the listed individuals Banquo's Ghost, Doc_Bean or Proletariat, Was the attempt on Proletariat a misstep by an individual desiring to be recruited into the Mafia, was it an attempt by someone desiring to settle an even older score and hide it behind the current trouble, or was it just a warning to the intended victim?

Rumors abound about certain individuals, and the possibility that they are mafia because of the note left behind by the murdered victim. What must be determined is how much of the victim's information is valid and what is speculation.

Who are the wolves wearing sheep clothing? To many rumors and not enough information.

Am curious about Ichigos co-conspirators in the failed hit on Proleteriat. Just because someone conspired doesnt mean they were actually capable, such as a Don pretending to be a townie in a townie vigilante group and then simply not sending in the PM so the hit fails. The potential for buggery here is endless, and the failed hit could have involved townies, wiseguys and even mafia.

Since you asked to be lynched and are busy in real life I vote: Ichigo

rogue vigilante groups are as big of a danger to the town as the scumbag mafia.

I think your looking at it in the wrong way. The note is an obvious attempt at recruitment, and because it has been publicly disclosed, the individual/individuals who directly posted it, could find themselves an obvious target of retribution by the mafia.

Now others have analysis the message for who might have written it. So no need to address that benefit of the message.

So what might be a valid consideration is the use of a non-game patsy to send the message to the game players. A question of rules is does the game allow for NPC to be used as a Patsy to hide the identity of the individual who wants to recruit for the mafia?

However I find that the message provides far more clues, and even possible misdirection’s to create more discussion around the events. For instance the townies have several puzzles to solve, and with the help of the assigned investigators in the game we can hopefully rapidly solve a few of them. For instance why in the letter sent to you was Banquo's Ghost, Doc_Bean or Proletariat the assigned targets, and why was Beirut, ByzantineKnight, Cowhead418, General Hankerchief, Hepcat, HughTower, Ignoramus, Kommodus, Kralizec, Pevergreen, Redleg, Reenk Roink, Sasaki Kojiro, Sir Moody, The Stranger, Ultrawar or Zalmoxis. Listed as individuals you may not conspire with or target as a victim?

Then the letter that Proletariat posted stated the intended targets are; Banquo's Ghost, Pevergreen, or Sigurd Fafnesbane and her list of non-conspirators and not victims had these names, Beirut, ByzantineKnight, Cowhead418, Doc_Bean, Hepcat, HughTower, Ichigo, Ignoramus, Kommodus, Kralizec, Redleg, Reenk Roink, Sasaki Kojiro, Sir Moody, The Stranger, Ultrawar or Zalmoxis.

Now to make myself a target of the mafia – since normally I should expect the mafia to strike because I too received the same message as Proletariat and yourself. The intended targets in my message were Ichigo, General Handkerchief or Sigurd Fafnesbane and my non-conspirators and non-victims were Beirut, Byzantine Knight, Cowhead418, Doc_Bean, Hepcat, HughTower, Ignoramus, Kommodus, Kralizec, Pevergreen, Proletariat, Reenk Roink, Sasaki Kojiro, Sir Moody, The Stranger, Ultrawar or Zalmoxis. Now all that needs to be done is to compare the names from each note that was sent. Which would require others to either send them to one party or post them here. So what we have is the following names were listed as targets on three letters. Banquo’s Ghost, Doc Bean, Proletariat, Pevergreen, Sigurd Fafnesbane, Ichigo, and General Handkerchief of those names General Handkerchief is deceased, and Proletariat escaped attack. Since Sasaki Kojiro is not included in the list as a target only as a non-consipator, we have an unknown status about him also. However since Proletariat also received a note we can rule her out as the writer of the message.

Now to the non-conspirator list. One can develop a similar pattern, the number is how many times the name appears.

Beirut -3
Byzantine Knight –3
Cowhead –3
Doc Bean – 2 and as target
Hepcat – 3
Hughtower – 3
Ichigo – received letter, listed as target, listed as non-conspirator
Ignoramus – 3
Kommandus – 3
Kralizec – 3
Pevergreen – 3
Proletariat – received letter, listed as target, listed as non-conspirator,
attempt made
Reenk Roink – 3
Sasaki Kojiro – 3 and attempt made
Sir Moody - 3
The Stranger - 3
Ultrawar - 3
Zalmoxis - 3

Now take and compare the target list to non-cospirator list

Banquo's Ghost - not on list
Doc Bean - on list
Proletariat - on list
Pevergreen - on list
Sigurd Fafnesbane - not on list
Ichigo - on list
General Handkerchief - not on list (deceased)

Now all that needs to be done is to make some conclusions. For instance since Sasaki was not on the list we can assume that on one of the listed names included him. I can also assume that like myself, others were sent the letter in an attempt to recruit them into the mafia, to create distrust within the town, to create a list that when voting to lynch people that the mafia has now supplied a list of names for the people to lynch. This tactic could work very well if the published names are taken to be mafia or wiseguys from the un-informed. For instance General Handercheif also claimed in his after death post that he was informed the following people were mafia.

Reenk Roink - on list
Redleg - on list
Beirut - on list
Stig

Now compare those names to the list. What pattern does one see in this. Then add the analysis of the writing.

Then you have the following quote from Stig


Vote: some Dutch speaker (being Doc_Bean, Dutch Guy, Kralizec, Moros, Stig, The Stranger)
It has to be someone active in the Frontroom.
That means Dutch Guy and Krazilec are gone imo.
That leaves Doc, Moros (aka Gertgregoor), Stranger and myself
I know I didn't do it, so that leaves 3
Stranger is Dutch and Andres Belgian. Moros wasn't active if I'm correct, s


Edit from the names listed here

Dutch Guy - not on list
Krazilec - on list
Doc Bean - on list
Moras (aka Gertgeroor) - not on list
The Stranger - on list
Stig - not on list.

Also in General Handkercheif post he also provides other names and a few claims.

Kagemusha - is claimed to be a wiseguy
Pannonian - is claimed to have known GH was a doctor
Caius Flaminius - might have been told by Kagemusha
Sigurd Fafnesbane - claimed by GH to be a townie kill group

Now taking the list provided by another and only using the names pointed out by him as possiblities for writting the note

Dutch Guy D
Peasant Phil F
Stig D
The Stranger D

Along with the statement of Stig, Andres, Doc_Bean, The Stranger are big buddies

Major Robert Dump
01-19-2007, 06:13
I want to think that it was sent out by mafia, with the non-conspirators being people who could cause the plan to not work by joining the kill group then snowballing it (per the example i gave 2 posts ago). this is what I want to think.

But....that was round one. There is no role in the game that could have compiled such a guilty/not guilty list in round one, and getting a list like that from all the PMs floating around between people in round one day one is too far fetched for me to believe.

I sent random "feeler" emails to a few people in hopes I could find some common ground, but either they don't trust me or they say something that spooked me into breaking communication. Based on the small amounts of (possibly unworthy) information I recieved, it would take several people doing what I did and working together to compile a list like that.



I think it was sent by a band of wiseguys who are looking to start their own family. As it stands, each wiseguy needs several kills to become a made, and we've only had one successful kill so far which could have been by a Luca, a band of wiseguys or townies. At this point, theres no way the group of underthugs have made it to mademen, and doing such is going to take 5 turns or more before they can become a real organized threat of mademan rather than wiseguys. In other words, that letter was nothing more than something to send the whole town into a panic, to confuse, to garble, to create more distrust and -- most importantly for the wiseguys looking to organize their own family -- the letter was sent to buy them some time.

First I'd like to congratulate Seamus for hosting ths superb game, that has already become a Mafia classic, in my eyes, not least for the AndrestheCunning bandwagon. Hilarious!

Now let's see what transpired. I may repeat somethings mentioned by others, but with so many posts I guess it can't hurt to repeat some stuff lest it gets missed.
Sasaki was attacked by several individuals and then saved by three people, leading to the conclusion that a Townie group attacked and another Townie group defended him.
Proletariat on the other hand was saved by one individual. I don't understand where the clues for a small kill group come into play.

Now Ichigos reveal seems pretty genuine to me and I'm inclined to beleive him, given the other evidence we have gotten from other people receiving a recruiting message. Although I respect the effort Redleg has put into analyzing the people mentioned in that PM I think it has gone beyond us to control them anymore. With the information available in this thread anyone can take AndrestheCunnings original PM and just insert all the names he likes. Also the Dutch/Flemish-witchhunt is leading us nowhere. Have you considered that AndrestheCunning could really have written the PM and just gotten instructions to its contents: Give those three names as targets, don't let those guys be lynched and add some yadda-yadda about Mafia recruiting.
We should keep the things mentioned in mind but don't read too much into it please.

Then comes GHs reveal, who is obviously pissed at getting killed so early. While I can understand his sentiments I'm not really buying his reveal. So he's claiming to be doctor but then posts a PM from a townie which he has accquired somehow? Now, if I were doctor I would post my doctor PM to prove this. Currently I don't think GH is really helping the town. His claims of forming a townie group may be correct, but all in all I think he was Mafia and no tries to confuse the town by throwing names around.
Just remember that with several Mafia families, nobody that is killed can be seen as innocent. Everyone is suspicious.

Well that covers most of the happenings so far. With so many people floating around a lynching shouldn't hurt the town too much.

His reason for voting Sasaki is just ridiculous and I don't see him contributing.

Nice analysis by Redleg, & succinct summation by Ituralde. Personally, I don't find the 'maffia' mispelling & idiosyncratic language (as analysed by louis) a red herring at all, but think it rings more or less true. I think the use of an outside figure to send the recruitment PM is brilliant, and should be considered completely valid. I also think that a lynching would help things, given the size of the field & the information we'll learn in few day's time about them. My shortlist is then (in no particular order):

Proletariat (for reasons I've given earlier that she was protected, maybe by a Luca)
Moros (for the Flemish thing)
Reenk Roink (for voting for himself to be lynched)

Andres

Proletariat (for reasons I've given earlier that she was protected, maybe by a Luca)

Oh yah, I had forgotten about that, I don't think I agree with CrazedRabbit about it being a "insufficent members" attempted kill...

If it was a Insufficent Member attempted kill then it would have been more like "She cried out and her attackers seeing that the townspeople were coming to her aid and they were not powerful enough to withstand the tide of newcomers; fled" or something like that (or Seamus might not even have mentioned the attack).

If it was a doctor/surgeon save it would have said the doctor managed to heal her wounds or the like.

It cannot be a self-save, thus I think, by elimination, that it must have been a Luca save. Which coincidentaly could have had that write-up.

Vote: Proletariat

Edit: I'm not quite sure I trust Ichigo either, but I'll let that go for now.

My god, this game is going to take over my life if people keep posting this much.

Okay: first Andres, he is indeed Flemish, not Dutch and posts a lot in the TYOLT, as do a lot of people playing here, including Drisos, Stig, TheStranger, me and quite a few others pop up occasionally. So this would point to one of us Dutch speakers, especially with the 'maffia' mistake. Then again it might be a set up.
Andres is also quite an active greeter in the Entrance hall and plays PBM games I believe, and as mentioned before, he shouldn't be unknown to Backroomers.

Second: the names in the PM. Someone seems to be out for my blood, I showed up as a possible target on most of the PMs sent. I find it odd that Stig would still accuse me of sending them anyway. The fact that so many people got mentioned, and different people got mentioned might indicate that the person who actually made them enjoys chaos. For some reason TheStranger seems like someone who would enjoy something like this. Then again, I'd also see Sasaki pulling a stunt like this. Heck, even I appreciate a stunt like this (not that I would have done it, the A_Friend fiasco makes me think twice about pulling stunts, though perhaps that gave some people here an idea ?)

Third: Why are Townies going around killing people ??? Are those involved that desperate to become mafiosi ? Do the honourable thing and stay with the town folks, crime doesn't pay.

Last (Seamus please listen): Can we get a list of everyone involved in the game and the number of votes they've gotten ? And possibly an extension of the voting time ? There are so many people playing along, a lot of them in different time zones that it so much happens 'over night'. Dutch_Guy got lynched in Graffiti Mafia without getting the chance of defending himself and I suspect it would be even easier here to start a bandwagon against someone while they're asleep or at work.

Stig

A few notes:

Voting is open until 2pm Eastern today.

-- Counter Question: Is 22-24 hours really not enough? That has never been the case before, but we've never had this many playing. Or would 24 hours be enough with a different point in the day? PM me with thoughts and if I see a better way I will modify the procedures.


Current vote count:

Abstain = 11
Andres = 4
Arach = 1
Beirut = 1
Ichigo = 1
Kralizec = 3
Motep = 1
Omanes = 1
Proletariat = 3
Redleg = 1
Reenk Roink = 3
Sasaki = 1
Stranger = 1

If abstainers actually want a "no lynch" they'll need to change.

Currently, you're putting Andres under the axe. This is rather cruel as he isn't in the list of players. Still, that'll set him straight right from the get-go!:laugh4:


As to Andres' participation. I received a request to pass PM's anonymously to recipients in the game. I responded that I would not do so, as anything coming from me might be thought "official" and that my GM role was the only neutral one. I also responded that the tactic itself would not be illegal.

Mafia is a game that revels in deception....someone(s) here simply took it to a new level.

Proletariat could be assumed to be mafia at this time. The describtion of her save sounds very much like a Luca prevented her would be assination.

But I am still working through the claim and now confession of Kagemusha of being a wiseguy. So my vote still remains the same.

It is specifically prohibited. This, by the way, is a normal limitation for the Doctor role in the vast majority of mafia games -- not just peculiar to mine. An unkillable Doctor would quickly reveal herself to prevent lynching and then weed out mafia without risk -- hardly sportin'.

Beyond the Andres PMs we don't have too too much to go on still, after 633267 first round posts, but I say we lynch all the Dutch players for the hell of it. The only person so far who seems completely innocent is Csar, but maybe he's a Dutch patsy

Kagemusha is just confirming this, and the mere fact that you are a wiseguy/gal doesn't make you Mafia it just puts you in a better situation if you want to become one.

I'm really not doubting that part of GHs reveal, as his information has been confirmed by Pannonian also. That doesn't make the rest of his statement true by default though. And just wildly throwing names around from some alleged contact is not really getting us anywhere. And besides GHs credibility, there's also the credibility of his contact and his original source to consider.

Although why GH would reveal his doctor role right from the start boggles my mind. Just thinking of the implications... have to think this through before I'll do anything else.

Well, I'm not in favour of that - obviously :book: . Why not lynch all the Americans, as one of those might be a mafioso ~;) Or all the Kage's, since they're wiseguys.

After reading the five pages that I missed, I still haven't seen any proof whatsoever that a player's guilty. However, the tactic the mafioso have obviously chosen (killing rather experienced, troublesome players) is a risky one. We all know we can't possibly stop Sasaki from posting, god knows we've tried in numerous other games - to no avail. So why waste a potential kill on him, especially since he's a player who tends to get protected the first round as well!

That said, I'm not going to vote this round (well, I'm abstaining) as I'd like to see how the game unfolds. So far, nothing conclusive.

Lots of interesting theories developed, but none compelling.

If we believe that Seamus is relating stories that include clues rather than just random descriptions (which I hope to be the case as it gives us something to chew over) then I am suspicious of Proletariat.

Redleg's identification of Kagemusha's error brings him to the top of my list too, and the Kralizec theory has some, but not many legs.

There is too little to go on for any certainty, and as I am known to be a soft touch for innocence, you won't be surprised to hear that I:

I took the liberty to run Andres' PM through a text-comparison program earlier today, and compared it to some posts I took from the Backroom from all of these guys. We can now safely assume it was not written by: Doc_Bean, Dutch Guy and The Stranger.
It was most probably not written by Andres himself either. Also, why would Andres speak of himself in the third person: 'When you have arranged the conspiracy and sent a PM to Seamus Ferganagh indicating that you want to kill someone from the list of potential victims, PM AndrestheCunning back'. And on top of that, why would he misspell his own name? It's TheCunning, with capital 'T'.

Drisos, Moros (GertGregoor) and Peasant Phil are long shots. It was most closely related to the writing style of Stig and Kralizec.

Now the fun thing is, guess whose name was also on GH's mafia list?
Reenk Roink
Redleg
Beirut
Stig

What says you to this, Stig?


"you'll need to find 3 co-conspirators to carry out a succesful murder".
Also, Kralizec, can you please explain why you, just like in the forged PM of your hand, always (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/search.php?searchid=61515) misspell successful as 'succesful'? And why you always spell mafia with double F too?
None of the other Dutch speakers do both. :juggle2:


N'oubliez pas que mon français n'est pas mal non plus.Yes, my friend, your French is not bad either. Better than the English of the PM. Your mafia friend nonetheless is dead meat though. :beam:

I haven't read the kill description that closely but someone earlier mentioned a townie group that wasn't big enough being responsible for the failure.

As a matter of game mechanics (mentioned in the role sheets):

1. Any attempt to kill someone will generate part of the narrative for that night.

2. ANY of the following could generate a narrative of a failed murder:

a) Protection by a Doctor

b) Protection by a Luca

c) Protection by a Surgeon [chance for would be killer to die]

d) Protection by a Townie Group

e) Attack by a group lacking sufficient numbers or the right type of role-players to effectively perform the attack. In the case of a Townie operating solo, the kill not only fails, but the Townie has a 1 in 3 chance of ending up dead. The same is true of a failed solo effort at protection.

f) Specia effects associated with one of the Secret roles.

3. My narratives will allude to some of these possibilities, but well never do so in a fashion that is definitive. This is, after all, more "film noir" than documentary....:evilgrin:

Sunset, Day Two

Beirut looked up from his recount of the votes. He seemed to gulp, then straightened himself and spoke clearly,

“Kralizec…”

Kralizec looked up in shock at his name.

“…you have received the most votes from the committee and are hereby condemned. Do you wish to be hanged or to meet the axe?"

“This is insane,” shouted Kralizec! He jumped to his feet. Others rose as well.

“But the plurality of votes is yours, according to the procedures TosaInu outlined, you are the one who must die.”

Kralizec turned to leave. “I’m outta here!”

But the path was blocked. He faced a thick semi-circle of faces – some confused, a few carefully “neutral” – but could not step past.

“I didn’t send those messages! You gotta believe me…”

He backed up, but the committee pushed forward. Kralizec raced for a door at the back of the room, bursting through it to find himself on the balcony overlooking the boardwalk. The others rushed after him.

He leapt the railing and the 12’ down to the boardwalk, but landed poorly, his ankle snapping with an audible <<crack>>. Hobbled, he couldn’t race away from the others fast enough to make a break for it. He hopped and ran, pain shooting up his leg with every motion, but the mob piled out of the back doors after him and soon had him hemmed in at the end of the amusement pier – now closed for the winter.

“Face your death with dignity, Kralizec,” said Beirut, trying to maintain a sense of decorum – but only just fending off the mob behind him.

“I didn’t send those messages!”

A voice from the back muttered, “But we don’t care.”

Kralizec’s face fell, then took on the sense of dignity Beirut called for.

“Then I’ll see you all in Hell.”

Before Beirut or the others could close the gap, Kralizec swung himself over the far railing and plummeted 30 feet into the water.

With a broken ankle, he could not swim well; certainly not well enough to counter the rip tide this storm had created. Within 10 minutes he was dead. Exposure? Drowning? No one would ever be sure. The remains that washed up on Staten Island 12 days later were only identified via fingerprints.

Shivering with cold, the chastened mob who had just watched Kralizec fade into the mist, struggling and failing against the tide, returned to the meeting room at the convention center.

When they returned, they were all stunned to find Ichigo lying on the floor. He had been shot between the eyes sometime during the mad rush to chase Kralizec. A note was pinned to his lapel – one of those mafia recruiting notes. On the back was written: “Walloon sympathizers beware. We will not be anyone’s fall guys anymore.” It was signed AndrestheCunning.

Stunned, the entire group was standing around in shock when Chief Fermanagh strode in.

“What’s all this then?”

After a few minutes of discussion, and an even longer time while the body was removed, the Chief stood at the lectern facing the chastened group.

“I hope you got one of them Gangsters this evening. I pray God you did.”

Seamus paused.

“But I suspect it’s not enough. I’m virtually certain based on last nights shenanigans that there’re more than one of them to be dealt with. You’ll have to keep the Committee going.”

Banquo’s Ghost looked as though he were nauseated...but said nothing.

“I must also report yet another death,” said Seamus. “A couple of my lads were over at the “Six Still in Chains” pub this afternoon. They’d gone in to get…uh…sandwiches when they found Tribesman collapsed in a corner booth. It’s pretty dark back there, so nobody had seen him. Apparently, he came in last night, ordered a case of Tullamore Dew, and then drank the lot. One witness said she’d seen him sitting there downing a shotglass, muttering “Slainte,” and then repeating it as fast as he could. The coroner confirmed acute alcohol poisoning and we’re holding the witness to question why she didn’t call for help, but it appears he’d had enough and just drank himself to death.”

A few indistinct murmers answered him.

“Good luck tonight – the police’ll do what we can. We’ll meet again tomorrow. Beirut will oversee tomorrows voting and we’ll also conduct the vote for his replacement.”

Fermanagh exited quickly, a look of worried concern on his face.

Illistrous savings
My money goes nowhere
Therefore I'm rich
Hence my nickname Greed
Except that I do spend much
Do not attack me
Or you'll be sorry
Nor life nor death shall save you of my wrath!

Whatever happens during the night, execute The Stranger the following round. Another attention-seeker, he's boasting about his role in the game.

I'M THE DON

Lynch him.

Why so obvious though ?

If it's even true, though....

meh, maybe that should be counted as suicide.

Sir Boo

Sorry i've been so inactive its very difficult to sift through the posts... I agree even if Stranger is jsut mucking around do we reelly want to take that risk?

I'm betting he is another mafia member "Taking the hit" for the don and taking one for the team, making us think we killed the Don, when really we didn't.

A few thoughts:
First of all bandwagoning is far to rampant in this game. It would be extreamly easy for a mafia member to just vote with the crowd and de facto lurk.

Secondly, I am exteremly supious of GH revel. Where did you get the mafiaoso's names and why do you think there so realiable? Couldn't your sources be lying? Also your drive for Peevergreen as dierector also seems highly supious. I can partialy understand why you would want a new player to live a bit longer but why peevergreen instead of another new player?

Lastly for clairifcation Kage, Sigurd and GH, did all of you decide to not send in the PM's or was it just Kage?

GH's role will be revealed "on the 2nd day after his death". If he turns up innocent we'll look into the names then. If he turns up guilty then I would say those on the list are probably innocent. It is odd that he claimed doc but posted the townie pm.

pevergreen
01-20-2007, 03:25
Yeah it is. Do we find out their roles! Awsome! I dont think GH is a doctor...even if he cant save himself. How would he have a mafia list? Suspicous, indeed.

He might be a mafia and he got info from other family members, and possably a detective they tricked.

Or he could have made the names up for fun.

Or he could be completely innocent...

I am inclined to think he is innocent.

Reenk Roink: About the only thing against him is his being on GH's list. The movement against him is pure bandwagon.


A bandwagon which he started by voting for himself btw. I too was "encouraged" to vote for Kralizec by grapevine, & refrained for reasons of independence. I think he died by way of someone's manipulation, & was no worse & better a candidate than any other. But time will tell, and my breath is bated.

Motep

Yeah...this whole thing is mess. It is absolutely absurd, and that is why the mafia game is so much fun!:grin2:

The "self vote" is wifom again.
