Minnesota Mafia: The Senate Scandal [Concluded]

Really? Well, I just simply looked back as in, and saw the tally has no Atheotes name in it, voting or being voted.

Just seemed to me you were flying under the radar or something.

I suggest we lynch Atheotes now, and me next round so you guys can get rid of suspects for the final day phase. So you all don't get paranoid and what not then mafia goes (HEY DIY, you have been too supportive and hyper townie, must be mafia! Lets lynch.)

This is not WIFOM. I place my money on Caius or Tiberius being mafia. Of course we can deliberate... discussion is always welcome.

Edit:Unvote;
Vote:Greyblades

Talk, I want your input.

If I'm satisfied I'll vote Tiberius. Indecisiveness shouldn't be left to the last round. The mafia will slaughter you on the pretext of lurking.

Nono, I'm just avoiding the classic last round mafia vote tampering, with random reasons.

I'm seeing for reactions, SHOO! I WANT TO SEE WHO BITES.

Argh, my cast line failed.

Unvote: Atheotes, Vote: greyblades.

Can someone explain why I am being told to vote for him?

Posted twice this round without voting. How is town supposed to win if we don't choose someone to lynch? It's also the behavior of overcautious mafiosi. Unless there is a tactic at work here, I can't see a townie doing this.

ahh thank you, that makes sense.

Its called learning from my mistakes; I didn't vote because, if I remember correctly, the last few times I voted for the town favourte, when tired I got accused of, and even lynched once for bandwagon-ing. See the org mini mafia for example where this is going on right now.

Vote: Death is yonder
For blindly following the guy who died the same night that one of the mafia stopped killing.

That would only make sense if Khaan uses a system of sorts where if, for example.

Mafia A targets Mafia B (10am)
Mafia B targets Townie C (12pm)

So because Mafia A killed Mafia B earlier than Mafia B kill Townie C, so Townie C doesn't die and instead Mafia B doesn't kill due to the "realistic" timing so called of who sent their pms first.

Well, unless Khaan can confirm this I wouldn't run up that alley.

I'm thinking more of Mafia A targets Townie C and Mafia B forgets to send in orders and is now using ATPG as the "hey look, a mafia must have died!"

Well, there isn't much discussion, so what am I suppose to do? Vote everyone randomly and get accused of throwing my vote around? That seems awfully... under the questionable motives region. Don't you think so eh mate?

Edit: Blindly following? No. The last statement in your post is of rather dubious nature as it is rather ambiguously put, as in like, the mafia could reduce to 1 kill and we wouldn't know.

FoS: Greyblades for trying to create even more WIFOM in relation to ATPG=Mafia

Of course your blindly following him, you havn't even made a vote this turn without him telling you to do it or voicing suspicion the post before.

What am I supposed to do? I try to play smarter for once, actually think about why I'm voting, and I get the entire active town on my back because of the dead guy says I'm acting unusualy which, by the way, was the intention.

I stated I wanted your input, plain and simple.

Unvote;
Vote:Tiberius

Can't you read my last posts, they clearly state what I plan to do. Plain, and simple.

Edit: Its not the whole town, its two people...

FoS:Greyblades again for overreacting.

Another Edit: And there is clearly more than 12 hours still, why are you overreacting!? I just wanted your input..
Now I want Tiberius's input on this discussion. Although Greyblades appears to have bitten onto the line...

Must... reel...in...line..to..check..what..fish..I..caught..

I'm irritated/overreacting because my attempts to get better at the game and not just follow the crowd has actually gotten me in worse straits than if I just went along with it.
*sigh* screw it I'm going to go back to coaxing the lurkers.
Unvote, Vote: Caius
He's been lurking for days and yet hasnt been WoG'd? Either khaan has not been paying attention or he's doing something out of thread.


Edit: My deduction would probably have been better if he had actually been active in the last 2 days. Unvote

I'm not the one following the crowd... that would be CDF.

I'm just following ATPG's target and with a different plausible reason.
Once I'm satisfied with the input (hopefully continued discussion), well, yeah.

Caius seems to be facing... activeness issues..

In Fillet Royale II which is in its final phases, down to 5 people, he hasn't even popped in to vote, and was easily bandwaggoned by the mafia.

In other mafias such as this, he is similarly inactive.

I don't know.

His mafia has been dragging on forever. I still don't know if anyone won his mafia.

He seriously can't be mafia in any of the games he is in if there are still kills. Otherwise he is going for the lame lurker mafia win, which... to be honest... is lame. It's been done a lot and all it really does is encourage town to lose the game more often by panic lynching of the lurkers on final rounds.

Round is ending in approximately slightly less than 4 hours.

I would advise looking for people who are active in the forums yet posting, though Caius claimed forgetting about the games when I accused him in an earlier round... He seems to have "forgotten" about the game again, gah! :thumbsdown:

Edit: Caius appears to not have posted anything in the .org since 11th of June.
I think this can at least temporarily clear him.

Tally:

Greyblades: 1 (Cultured Drizzt Fan)
Tiberius of the Drake: 1(Death is Yonder)
Abstain: 1(Atheotes)


Look, I'm giving the town one hour. If nothing changes within ONE HOUR, I'm going to declare Armageddon. I'm getting supremely aggravated.

Vote: tiberius
I confess; this is entirely self preservation from khaans theats of Armageddon if its tied.

Following another stunningly quiet discussion, Tiberius was selected as the one most likely to be the killer. The few remaining ballot counters decided they were tired of simply chasing those found to be guilty out of the arena. Now, instead, they clubbed Tiberius over the head with multiple chairs before tossing his limp body over the arena stands, watching it tumble down the stairs all the way to the polished wooden floor.

No. As a matter of policy, I do not and will not allow players who have already died/been lynched to take over for other players roles in the same game. I will look for outside replacements for inactive players in my coming large game, but at this point, I feel it will not be sufficient to implement it at this late stage of this game.

Yes, it is quite frustrating indeed...

Why do people sign up for mafia games if they aren't willing to give their all. :thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

Tiberius, didn't even bother turning up to defend himself when selected to be voted.

Caius has totally not been posting/activity on the org since 11th June

Its like really, everyone is forgetting. Maybe even the mafia forget. Hopefully 1 WoG or so will be enough to send a message that not doing anything will not be tolerated, in time for the critical last 2 voting phases...

I'm wondering how we are going to take it. The last phase is a night phase...
So the next day phase is critical.

You're so the final mafia, Death is Yonder.

LOL you're the only one who seems to be concerned with winning therefore = mafia.

:clown:

What if I'm the only townie concerned with making an effort? :clown:

FoS:ATPG for creating WIFOM

:laugh4::laugh4:

FOS the dead guy? I will kill you from BEYOND THE GRAVE! :skull:

Goodbye, see you in Heaven. Or something else?

I would likely clear Caius on the basis that he simply hasn't been around.

Unless of course he is the mafia that stopped killing.

Tonight we will see if the mafia get rid of active discussion members... again. :thumbsdown:

Cultured Drizzt fan was, like all else in the room, growing more and more numb as the days went on. Ballot counting can only be made to be so interesting. He sat in a stiff, wooden chair, his head slumped downward, as he "rested his eyes" for a moment's rest. Gradually, his conciousness began to ebb ever so slowly. Darkness began to overtake him. He vaguely felt a slight pressure on the back of his head....

*BAM!*

With comparatively little warning, his head was slammed into the desk in front of him, his skull screaming with pain. An arm roughly snaked its way around his forehead, holding his head backwards and his neck stiff. Anotherh arm roped around his head the other way, a grey-tinted switchblade in tow. The hand made a swift, forceful cut at CDf's jugular, spilling open a profuse amount of blood. CDf collapsed to the floor in a heap, splashing into a pool of his own blood....

Atheotes? Or Greyblades.

Why is the people who are following ATPG getting killed? Because we were right? :inquisitive:

gah! I have a feeling that the mafia is trying to kill anyone who ISN'T a lurker.

My gut has a bad feeling about Greyblades.

He and me are the only ones caring about this game.

I didn't really like his response last round, but it was sufficient then.

I'm going to go with my gut, hasn't failed me in the past.

If its lurker victory, I'm going to :wall::wall::wall::wall::wall::wall:

Edit: Vote:Greyblades

Well seeing as I'm not inclined to vote for myself.
Vote: Athetoes
He's just been waiting by the sidelines watching us turn on each other for 2 turns now without making any contribution to the votes.

That :inquisitive:

Sounded:inquisitive:

Wrong :inquisitive:

Particularly the last line :inquisitive:

I'll be keeping my vote on you. :inquisitive:

:shrug:
Thats a pity but it's all I can do really.
I dont want to vote caius because he's practically proved innocent and lynching him would be a waste of the last round, voting you would be a waste due to you being the only good conversation here there is :grin: and the fact that you're the only other person here voting so it would likely end in a tie ending with us both dead, and I dont want to vote for myself for obvious reasons.
So that leaves athetos who has been lurking for 2 turns now making no contributions in that time other than an abstain. As far as I can see he's the scummy-ist guy around other than me.

Apologies :bow: my system crashed and i was without my computer and internet for more than 48 hours... just got it fixed.

i though i would have been dead in this game already... surprised that i am still alive and able to contribute.

I guess Caius has been inactive and is possibly innocent.

Out of the other two i am going to Vote: Greyblades as DIY did not take the easy option of voting for a lurker...

I have to say that I believe that Atheotes is not the mafia. He was not on for 48 hours, so he couldn't have possibly sent in the kill order for me.

I'm dead aren't I?

He posted in other threads that his internet crashed...

On the other hand that makes him just in time for when the kills stopped?

Could someone verify that please? :bow:

He stopped frequenting this thread soon after iskander and ATPG died so yes it is possible he's the mafia.
Not that your going to listen to me.

then who killed me? I believe we have one mafia, and it ain't Atheotes.

That's what I'm believing too, which is why I'm voting Greyblades.

His behavior at the moment reminds me of ATPG's Mini Mafia V where I and Beskar was the mafia and TheFlax was innocent, and I gave up accusing TheFlax who was probably the innocent townie and started building a case on Beskar instead, which in hindsight, just made me look more guilty. Basically, sounding like trying to make TheFlax lynch Beskar instead.

Which is why, I'm going to keep my vote on Greyblades. If we lose, then I will take the blame :shame:

Edit: It was post Iskander's lynch and ATPG's death that the mafia dropped to 1 kill.

After some reviewing, that phase was many days ago, far past before Atheotes experienced system difficulties, which would have merely put him out of commission of the previous day phase, and the previous night phase.

On the other hand, the lack of kills stretches back further beyond those phases which Atheotes is granted some leeway of not being present.

Therefore I would conclude that either ATPG or Iskandar is the dead mafia, probably Iskandar, and I feel I am justified in voting for Greyblades, for trying to get me to vote Atheotes when I was merely considering the possibilities.

Well it sounded like it was going to be either me or him lynched this turn so I tried to get him lynched instead of me.
Either way if you get him or not this game is probably ending in a turn so, Good game guys.

Again, if it helps any, I was not mafia this time. My death and the drop in kills is a bizarre coincidence.

:no: <---- this is you not believing me.

:shame: <---- this is me not being believed.

I likely finger the Iskandar lynch for that :dizzy2:

yes... i too thought it was Iskander's lynch that reduced the number of kills... i did call for his lynch and as soon as the kill number dropped posted about this as well...:yes:

I think the mafa (probably Greyblades) left Caius alive so in this phase where it could have been a tie 2-2 was instead reduced to convincing 1 person for a 2-1.

With Caius probably not voting, I think all have been accounted for.

I wonder if he will back with like... 15 hours to go.

Ok, I'm coming back in an hour, and the writeup will be posted.

:yes:

Hope for the best. :juggle2::juggle2:

With their number now at a third of their original count, the small, frightened group of ballot counters gathered once more to determine who was sabotaging their efforts. After another quiet, subdued discussion, the consensus was finally drawn- Greyblades. As the remaining three turned to the condemned man, he slowly backed away. A twitch began to overcome his right eyebrow and his breath began to quicken. The other three volunteers bumrushed towards Greyblades, who immediately turned on a heel to run away. Unfortunately for Greyblades, he had failed to account for the wall which stood one foot behind him. Greyblades slammed facefirst into the wall, stunning him. The volunteers quickly subdued him as he staggered to his feet. As two held him down, Greyblades began to rant maniacally.

"This is NOT the end, this is just the beginning! A new golden age for Minnesota will begin!" The volunteers raised their eyebrows quizically. The glory of Al Franken shall reign supreme over this great state!" Greyblades continued on. "There is no justification for this opposition! Mr. Franken will turn Minnesota into the grandest state in this glorious Union!"

"So," the elderly man queried. "You have been behind the killings? You have been responsible for the deaths of all these innocent people?"

"No," Greyblades admitted. "I haven't been responsible for all of them. Someone else was here too, probably from that scum Norm Coleman! Although I don't think he's been here for a while. But I do admit with pride that I did my best to advance the cause of our glorious leader, Al Franken!" The remaining ballot counters merely shook their head. The elderly man took out his colt .45, grabbed it by the barrel, and slammed the butt of the pistol on Greyblades' temple, knocking him out cold.


The Next Day:


Once more, a certain Minnesotan Camel Lord awoke in the early, Minnesotan morning. After pouring himself a cup of coffee, he plopped himself onto his recliner and flipped on the morning news. The weatherman was on once more, reporting that, once more, it would be raining. Halfway through his seven day forecast, however, BREAKING NEWS! popped in, with the camera cutting to the head newscaster.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have breaking news regarding the long standing race for Minnesota's last Senate seat. Late last night, police arrested a young man by the name of Greyblades at the Target Center. He was working as an intern for the Al Franken camp. He is accused of the deaths of numerous volunteer ballot counters. Upon an investigation of the Target Center, police were able to ascertain that one of the dead include Norm Coleman intern A Very Super Market. They determined that Mr. Market was likely responsible for even more deaths." The Camel Lord's jaw dropped in front of him.

"With both camps now tainted by accusations of murder and attempting to circumvent the democratic process, Federal government has ordered that all votes for either camp be rendered null and void. However, we at channel 2 news have good news! The volunteer ballot counters submitted their final tally to the state, and we can now pronounce a winner, live here first!"

The Camel Lord raised an eyebrow. With the Democrats and Republicans out of the picture, who was going to win....?

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Minnesota's newest Senator, having the third largest percentage of the vote following Coleman and Franken, IS...."

For now...:skull:

:clown:

Well done, Death, Atheotes.

I am grateful you could win.

Huh well my first time as a full time mafia went well...

Near-victory... not bad.

Beats getting lynched round one! :beam:

No problem el pizza man~

Apparently, I'm in the thinking that me voting for you elicited Greyblade's questionable response :yes:

@Greyblades: Don't feel so bad,

The mafia in general made some good calls on who to kill, and activity dropped. Methinks the only mistake was leaving yourself and me as the only active posters left, and I knew I was innocent, and Caius wasn't here, and Atheotes was likely to have a retaliation vote on you.

Good first game as mafia Greyblades :bow:

I'm just happy that my gut is as trustworthy as ever :2thumbsup:

See, just a coincidence that the kills dropped after I was lynched :)

I was planning to divert attention until suspicion would fall on ATPG. But then I was night-killed, ruining all my plans. Humph.

I will cry scapegoat every time someone does that. AND, I won't do that as mafia either.

Scummy scummy scummy. Everyone already suspects me, I'm too easy a target. So I will cry scapegoat every time.

good game everyone, good job DIY and Atheotes. Thanks Shinseikhaan for a good game, and thanks for one of the first games I was actually not mafia in!

For Your Information- this was actually the first game I've hosted(out of six total now) that the town has lynched a mafioso/serial killer/bad guy. Though I was disappointed with the activity level for the most part, the town does get a kudo from me.

thanks everyone and Khaan... for some strange reason there wasnt much to discuss :confused:
