The Age of Darkness [Concluded]

Day breaks in Shrewsbury. All is quiet.

Masy had just come home to his house and started to cook himself some pottage, when an arrow shot threw the air and landed on his table. Hurrying outside to investigate, he found no trace of his attackers. Still feeling anxious about his safety, he sat down and started to eat his dinner. After a few mouthfuls, he realised that something wasn't right, and on closer examination, he discovered to his horror a mouse head covered with the plague. With a groan he fell to the floor-dead.

The governor of the town, Sir Ignoramus, assembled the villagers in the morning and addressed the crowd: "Last night one of our villagers was horribly poisoned in his house. Methinks that this villain is among us. I intend to make an example of this barbarian! Let each of you cast his vote for the guilty! Return tomorrow morning, and your victim shall be hung, drawn, and quartered!"

Players may now vote. Voting ends in 24 hours.

How to vote:
Type Vote: and the name of the person you wish to vote for to be executed all in bold. Example: Vote: Silver Rusher. Instead of the person's name, you may also put Abstain or No Lynch. If you Vote: Abstain it basically means you don't vote but you also don't get a warning. If you Vote: No Lynch it means you vote for nobody to be executed at all.

I'm guessing someone was late with their pm's.

Vote:doc_bean haven't seen him around, he could be with the group that didn't get their kill in.

I was around, check the backroom, Arena or Hard and software forum, I tend to post there occasionally and am pretty sure I posted somewhere yesterday.

Ok unvote

uhhh

Vote:Dutch_Guy same reason nah forget that there are three for each group, there must be some other reason they didn't get the pm in.

unvote

Vote: Abstain

until someone can comeup with anything reasonable - id do some digging myself but im at work

Maybe prevented kills (by soldiers or monks) don't get mentioned ?

How do those work Ig ?

Vote: Abstain for the time being, waiting for things to develop a bit

So no one out of the tree of one of the mafia teams sent a PM? :dizzy2: Don't mind though, it'll give us more executions.

I think Sasaki's was "anything reasonable".

Vote: UltraWar seems inactive so a good chance that it that's the reason for the non-kill ultrwar is mafia..

So the other mafia group didnt kill anybody on first round. Hmm..Two options.They have somekind of completely twisted plan or then they are just not that bright.Or both.vote abstain for now.Maybe their second move is to release their identiteties..:laugh4:

unless i counted wrong theres only 15 players so is it possible Ig recuced the number of "mafia" families to just one? - any word on this Ig?

oh and i couldnt make head nor tail of Sas's post so it doesnt count as anything reasonable :help: :laugh4:

Sasaki seems to be changing his vote, this should be picked up as it could mean that he has something to do with the killing of Masy

Vote: Sasaki Kojiro

3 ruffians
3 assassins

4 soldiers
2 nobles

We have six baddies (or 5 if Masy was one), and 9 good guys (or 8).

A purely random vote will make us more likely to kill a good guy.

An interesting hypothesis: one of the killers didn't get their pm in on time.

Vote:Craterus

Just for some discussion, ya know.

CR

Vote:UltraWar

Lurkers have always seemed more suspicious to me.

Balls! First time I've been killed this early...well, I guess it's a compliment, as I'm seen as a threat ya know:2thumbsup:

So, am I allowed to post help and comments once I'm dead Ignoramus?

Vote: Abstain

It's early yet to lodge a vote, though I am inclined to trend toward a lurker removal policy as have some of the others above. As is usual, there is little information to go on at the outset.


Moderator note:

Title should now read (in play)

I don't know why, but I am strangely compelled to vote for Sasaki.

Sorry, Sasaki, I know everybody always votes for you in mafia games but this time... meh.

Vote: Sasaki Kojiro

Vote:Myrddraal

Vote: Sasaki

YOU STOLE MY LINE :furious3:


ok now that you've at least posted, unvote, Vote:Kommodus

To maintain balance in the voting:

unvote

Vote:Craterus

Myrd old buddy that smells like coordination effort with Sasaki.:inquisitive: Vote Myrddraal

I didn't realise suspiciousness was so contagious... :sad:

*sneezes in the vicinity of Myrddraal*

Then it could be also those Moderator rags that smell old blood and other disgusting things , but i cant confirm that becouse Sasaki is so suspicious that il keep away from smelling distance from him, or he might murder poor old Kage.:croc:

If we're going by avatars, the Imagawa are know for their Ninjas... :stare:

Maybe in the old days,there might have been some assasinations here and there. But mostly good and honourable field battles. But when it comes down to Hashishin like your Avatar they didnt have any other day jobs then assasinating people, altough some historians believe they tended to like their herbs also.:inquisitive:

something about this makes my hackles rise - everyone knows Sas throws votes around like confetti and ultrawar isnt new...

unvote = Abstain

Vote = UltraWar

UNVOTE: Abstain
VOTE: Doc Bean

After two games, I am a little leery of active posters of short posts who do not register any vote -- even to abstain. Destro did that in CN and Myrddraal in G2 both later proved to be mafia hitters. This is not absolute proof of guilt, of course, so perhaps this will shift.


Edit: Leery is, of course, the better spelling. Leary was a typo and not a Freudian slip. I have never tried LSD. I swear. My brother I am not so sure of ....ooops.

Unvote: Abstain
Vote: Kommodus

Eh? What's up with this? ~:confused:

Actually I've been trying to work out whether or not it's actually in our interest to lynch someone this round. As CR pointed out, our odds of getting a bad guy are 6/14 or 5/14 (depending on Masy's role). Those aren't bad odds compared to other games - except that in this one there are two opposing gangs, which might kill each other's members as well as killing innocents. Add to that the fact that all of the non-evil players have some kind of pro-town role which we'd be better off not eliminating, and the question doesn't seem so clear to me.

My computer simulation isn't robust enough to handle this situation yet; it kinda needs a redesign. But unfortunately I'm working on other projects at present.

For now, I Vote: No Lynch.
