Mafia VIII: Return of the Recommencement of the Revenge of the Mafia [Concluded]

Ah, good old 300. :laugh4:

Sorry I didn't get very involved, too much EURO 2008.

I don't see anything too out of the ordinary so far. Other than 2 bandwagons in 2 rounds, so FOS anyone who was on both of those bandwagons.

excuse for being the new guy, what does FOS stand for? :embarassed:

FoS = Finger of Suspicion, when you want to accuse someone but the suspicion doesnt warrant a proper vote :yes:

Thanks

Are you just being lazy or were you trying to quickly throw in a vote, almost unnoticed, to disappear again in the shadows?

Oh, and to our mafiosi: killing me won't shut me up :brood:

LOL @ EF's death.

And sorry for not voting :embarassed:

You mean, you cannot see when somebody was last online?

I know I could when I was just a regular member. And I could also look for recent posts made by a certain member...

How is that using "secret spy cams"?

I can only on those who are not in invisible mode. Mithrandir uses invisible mode and I thus cannot see when he was last on. Only greenies can see through invisible mode.:bounce:

Perhaps because Mithrandir is an invisible mod, and thus us regular townies cannot see when he's online. You, on the other hand, can.

I've not "disappeared again in the shadows", but I did quickly put a vote up (quickly, because of work commitments) for the one player with whose participation and posting style I'm most familiar - of the list of non-voters. I FoS all non-voters; Mithrandir is the one I 'knew' best. With your query Andres, now I'm a little worried about our Mith. Hope he's OK.

Also note that the forum is still 'under construction', so participation may be negatively effected by that. I had to re-log-in once the org went 'live' again; guys may not remember their login password, etc.

I see.

But Kukri is a mod as well. So he, just like me, should have known that Mith hasn't been online for a couple of days now...

If he (unfairly?) used his mod powers as you have.

I want to put some more suspicion on Kagemusha.

Something like this was discussed in Taormina. Mod's have super-mod abilities. It really isn't an "abuse" of power because they can't turn it off. Just know, that if you play a mafia game with mods, they can normally see things that non-mods can't.

Back in the day it was agreed that mods shouldn't use their extra knowledge against other participants in the game. Even if they can see it, they should pretend that they cannot and ignore it rather than dwell on it. :yes:
Of course its up to GH to decide how he feels about it in his game.

I am given to understand that moderators cannot turn off all of their abilities automatically. I am asking them, on their honor, to avoid using such tools as part of their play. This is, of course, exactly what they do at present. As your own experiences tell you, it poses no concern. They're a pretty good group of people.

I thought that was good practice, and continue the procedure myself, although I don't think GH specified such a restriction.

No, I don't have a restriction on this or invisibility mode. Anybody can be careful enough to avoid detection, even moderator detection. All they have to do is click the "send PM" button and immediately open a new window, which thwarts all efforts of surveillance.

@ Seamus; Basically, yes. Poor reasoning on that vote.

CR

Day breaks in the Frontroom. All is quiet. A good old-fashioned angry mob session was as effective as a hard night of drinking when it came to tiredness the next day, and as a result, most people were sleeping in. Out of those that weren't, none of them went jogging, not after two of the murdered were joggers.

However, there were other reasons to be out. There were some rituals that required strict adherence to tradition, after all. One of them happened to be smoking. LittleGrizzly was one of those people who truly only smoked for pleasure, not because he was addicted to the nicotine. He didn't waste his time with those filthy cigarettes, which he considered the height of uncouthness. No, he instead enjoyed one of life's greatest pleasures: Cubans.

Grizz hadn't replenished his supply in a while, and it would be impossible to do so now that the mafia were on the attack. He was down to one box, so he figured that he might as well enjoy them. So, on another beautiful morning in the Frontroom, he took his remaining box, drove downtown, and made his way to one of the roofs to enjoy his cigar n the morning air.

He was halfway through, puffing away, when another figure emerged from the stairs. The man was impeccably dressed, wearing a trenchcoat and a gray fedora. One of his hands were concealed inside the trenchcoat, immediately alerting Grizz that something was wrong. He quickly began eyeing nearby buildings, calculating which one posed the least risk of injury should he have to make a jump for it.

Then the man spoke. "What a wonderful day this is," he said in a cheery voice. Its overall tone completely disarmed Grizz, who wasn't expecting it. "Ah, yes," the man said, noticing Grizz's Cuban. "A Cuban on a roof, on a beautiful day. It's times like these where it's a pleasure to be alive."

"Why, yes it is," said Grizzly, ready to make conversation and now completely unsuspecting. Then the man's hand whipped out of his trenchcoat, tightly gripping a revolver. "Too bad this will be the last day you are." He pulled the trigger and LittleGrizzly went down.

The man walked over to Grizz's corpse, picking up the box of slightly bloodstained Cubans. "Well, I might as well put these to good use," he said, depositing the box inside his trenchcoat and walking away.

Unbeknownst to the mafioso, his shot had once again scared off all of the birds in the area. This was the signal that TevashSzat had been waiting for. For the past two days, he had listened to the Chief of Police rant about how, because of the shots fired, the birds of the Frontroom had been disturbed, usually ending in property damage. Tevash figured that if he could pinpoint the spot where the birds were all flying away from, he would have a good chance of catching a bad guy.

"Downtown," he muttered, pocketing his bioculars and getting into his old blue car. From what he gathered, it had to be there, consdering that the birds were flying in all directions away from that area and that he had heard the shot from his house, meaning that it was probably fired on a roof where there wasn't much to block the sound from going far.

Tevash drove further and further downtown, checking for signs, looking for people... he saw someone, upon his approach, duck into a building - maybe that was the guy! Tevash sharply braked, turning his car around as he did so, preparing to make another pass-

Out of nowhere, a black Mercedes, screeching along, threatened to ram Tevash's car right into the building. Tevash swerved out of the way, just in time, and floored it. Finding the mafioso was important, but so was surviving!

He made a sharp right onto the next street, almost slamming into a fruit stand because he went a little too wide. After jamming on the gas once again, he checked his rearview mirror. The black Mercedes was right behind him, showing no signs of having almost flubbed the turn.

"I have to get out of this area," Tevash said to himself. No matter how many sharp turns he would make, the black Mercedes would always have better handling than his old blue car. The best chance was to simply stay on a road for as long as he could... and hope that the mafioso would run out of gas, or hit a tree, or something.

He stayed on a straightaway, swerving from time to time as the buildings grew farther apart and the trees grew closer together. The mafioso was keeping pace, he noticed to his chagrin. There really wasn't much he could do, he realized. The odds needed to be evened up.

He reached around his car, rolling down his window and searched for anything he might be able to throw at his pursuer. Spare change (no effect), an umbrella (missed), a large map - hit! The toss had worked perfectly, with the map unfolding itself and attaching itself to the mafioso's windshield, totally blocking his field of view.

Unfazed, the mafioso calmly held the wheel, going straight, and took out his shotgun, blowing the windshield away. His vision was restored, but now, Tevash noticed, there was nothing between him and the open air. Grinning, he took the binoculars out of his pocket and, taking his eyes off the road, aimed right for his pursuer's face.

The binoculars and the mafioso connected, with the Mercedes going upwards of 100 mph in one direction and the binoculars going a significant speed in the opposite direction, all resulting in a broken nose for the man in the Mercedes. Cursing, he swerved as he wiped the blood off, narrowly avoiding a tree. He was well behind Tevash's car now.

Back in the front, Tevash saw the mafioso take his eyes off the road once again. It was clear, even from a distance, that the mafioso was rifling through his Mercedes, looking for something. Then he saw it, headed his way, a perfect throw made.

The grenade made contact with the old blue car just as Tevash threw himself out of the driver's seat, rolling on the road, scraping himself in numerous places as his body went from 100 mph to zero. A second later, his car ignited, making him feel a little bit better about his injuries.

VROOM-CRUNCH! The pain increased exponentially as several tons of rubber and metal rolled over his body. Tevash could feel his bones breaking inside him, could hear the screech of the Mercedes ahead as it stopped...

...and then, the pain again, as the mafioso, slowly, painstakingly, ran over TevashSzat again, this time in reverse. He got out of the car, still bleeding from the nose, and gripped his shotgun. Without a word, he pointed it at his barely-conscious victim and shot.

"Didd't adyone eber tell you dat the victibs are suppode to go quiedly?" he said through his nose. He blasted Tevash once more for good measure, and then stomped him in the nose, breaking it. An eye for an eye, perhaps, even though there was no need.

He got back in his Mercedes and still drove away, cursing about the broken windshield all the blood he was getting in its fancy interior.

Later that day, Chief of Police Beirut had gathered the remaining villagers in the town square in order to make an announcement.

"Gentlemen," he began. "We have two more deaths today. LittleGrizzly has died smoking and TevashSzat has died in an epic car chase where we believe grenades, shotguns, and road maps were used."

"Wow!" someone exclaimed. "What was he doing before that?"

"Birdwatching," Beirut said. "By the way, speaking of the road map, I found this scribbled on the back of the road map. It might be helpful."

He passed copies of the message around to everybody, which read:

"Trouvez les lettres perdus pour aider le village"

"I have no idea what that means, but good luck."

"Wait a minute," somebody said, "Aren't you French-Canadian?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Beirut said. "Get voting!"

Why were you so determined to try to lynch Kagemusha Last round?

There i was chilling out on the roof enjoying a nice cuban... not even the decency to let me finish it!

Go Town!

Vote:disco

I've seen you be4 in the chat. What are your thoughts on the game so far?

Vote: Tiberius of the Drake

CR explained his reasoning for voting Kagemusha well enough when he voted for him. He made one more post in the round to put pressure on Kagemusha, and one more to further clarify the reasoning. Not exactly like he's hounding Kage much more than anyone else has when voting for someone. That was a cheap, mostly inexcusable vote given the reasoning you gave. Feels to me like a mafioso trying to just lurk enough without getting WoG'd.

Indeed, TotD, CR was reasonably clear in his explaining "why." If anything, it's his choice to persist in his suspicion this round that is worthy of concern. To CR's credit, we know Kage to be a sharp operator, so pushing a bit is appropriate. Now, as to your pouncing on CR....:inquisitive:

What letters do we have to find :huh:

Hey GH, though you probably can't tell, but was TevashSzat some sort of detective/special role? Or can the rest of town do as crazy stuff as he did?

Now, from what I see,the mafia either targeted both LittleGrizzly and TevashSzat, or there are still two mafia, or the mafia targeted LG but TevashSzat failed his attack or the mafia just defended themselves....rather confusing. Anyone else got any ideas?

Can't say.

Thought not, thanks anyway.

Actually, I'll admit that one was my mistake. I forgot to put something in there about Grizz saying he was going to enjoy his Cuban.

PS: It's grammar. :wink:

unvote: Kagemusha Okay, not enough evidence for me to call for his lynching now.

also:embarassed::embarassed::embarassed:

As I understand it Sarathos, there are two mafioso, each of whom can kill once per night. When one is killed the other gets two kills.

GH has said that this is classic game so I'd assume that 'roles' other than the detective and mafia, would be rather thin on the ground.

From the write-up however it seems that Tevash, had a role of some sort, and seen as, regular townies can't investigate/find the lost letters, it would suggest that the detective is still alive and hiding somewhere. Good news for us.

Its not really possible to tell if both mafioso's are still alive, as the second kill didn't have a description for said mafioso. It would be better to assume the worse scenario however.

Also I've noticed from the description that Tevash was watching for any signs of mafia activity, perhaps, without going too far he was an amateur detective or vigilante. Either way it seems likely that we have lost a pro-town role of some sort.

Also FOS: Sigurd Fafnesbane. I understand RL issues and the like, but from my limited experiance, he seems to be posting less than usual, plus he's a very skilled mafioso (so I've heard). Actually I'll extend that to all non-posters, non-voters and general lurkers out there. That way I'm not being picky.

Hollywood would stumble over itself to stage such a well-written, descriptive screen scene. It reads "Die Hard XXII" all over. Can't you just feel the horror of 'feel his bones breaking inside him', while watching 'several tons... roll over his body'?. I could. Bravo, author.

I stand on the FoS of non-posters. Volunteering for a work project (and, although it's fun, this is a work project), then fading away with no explanation, is either irresponsible, or mafia-scummy. Kill 'em all, so participants can sort.

In my opinion.

Vote: Sasaki

Since I have nothing better to do.

Vote: Discovery 1

At least try to come up with a reason!

Also all of your posts have been one sentence or so. Flippant, yes. Helpful, no. Mafioso, possibly.

CR is posting as he always does. I see nothing out of the ordinary from him.

Leave WoG bait alone for now.

discovery's apathy disturbs me.

Khaan fooled me in Star Wars Mafia, so you guys should lynch him now. :clown:

But on a more serious note, khaan is very good as mafia. Just talkative enough to seem helpful but still able to fade in the background. Might be best to lynch him anyways. Better safe than sorry. :shrug:

Sigurd seems to alternate between activity and inactivity. I wouldn't worry about it for now.

FH is staying a little too much in the background for my comfort. Maybe a vote or two will bring him out.

Sorry, that is all I got for now. LG was one of my top suspects but he was killed.

It is very true that Khaan is an outstanding player, but I disagree about going after him now. Just because he has been an effective mafia in previous games, no two mafia games are the same, nor should you compare them. What if his luck missed him in this game and he has to settle with being town?

True, he isn't at the top of my list. I guess my reasons for suspecting khaan are similar to other people's reasons for suspecting Sasaki. He is good. I guess for now, just keep an eye on him.

@ Discovery1: What he's trying to say is that your apathy isn't helping the town.

Staying silent for two days and coming back to throw a vote on Sasaki, for no discernable reason smacks of flippancy and prolifigacy. I wasn't certain that you're mafia, but you're certainly acting very scummily in my opinion. If you have anything to say in your defence feel free, but a short and petulant riposte will get you nowhere.

Because of that nasty intstinct that you seem to be missing...

...the survival instinct! :laugh4:

I stand by my vote for TotD. Voting for someone because because you want a reason, when a reason was already given, and trying to portray their vote as being exceptional when it wasn't, is purely scummy.

Btw, RoadKill, your reasoning is WIFOM. I could say the same thing about your vote.

Also, I'm flattered that people think I'm excellent. :blush: Especially considering I've missed a kill in every game I've ever been mafia in.:sweatdrop:

I will jump on the most awesome bandwagon if possible.

Ok I lied, I thought I'd try to pull a spartan for fun.

Im actually the detective, ive investigated:

Night 1: Sasaki (I always investigate Sasaki first, hes innocent)
Night 2: Andres (Yup, innocent, he died >_>)
Night 3: Kage (well CR is normally right...he is again. We has a mafia!)

Unvote: Disco, Vote: Kage

This "lost letters" thing interests me. Off the top of my head, I have two ideas about what it could mean. First, TevashSzat was the detective, but he wrote his results down somewhere and we can still get access to them by some method that we're still clueless to. Second, the lost letters are the other kind of "letters," namely individual alphabetic letters. Perhaps there is a pattern or cypher in the past write-ups, or will be in future write-ups, that will provide clues. It may be worth our while to start scanning the write-ups for patterns or codes of some kind.

And what say you Kagemusha? Are you the real detective and found pever to be guilty? :beam:

Ok...
I had a telephone while I was writing my last post. Pever did post his 'role pm' before I could finish and post the reply.

unvote: pever, vote: Kage

What say you Kage, is it all a lie? :smash:

PS: We would still want to see those investigation results.

I'm not a native speaker, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but there's something strange about pever's reveal.

Doesn't this mean that he can only start investigating after the first kills have been posted? That would mean pever was not allowed to investigate on N1, right? We had 3 nights thus far. If pever wasn't allowed to investigate on N1, then he could only have 2 results now?

Yet he claims to have 3 results?

EDIT: also, he didn't reveal but after he was gaining (blatant) bandwagon votes... If you had a guilty result, then why didn't you reveal at the beginning of the day?

Vote: Pevergreen
I believe you be neither mafioso or detective. You are just a very unhelpful townie. Unless someone comes up with a good suspect I'm voting to lose the dead weight.

edit: supposed to be vote: peverpink

You think pever is a townie? Why would he make up a fake detective PM if he was a townie? :inquisitive: Detective, yes. Mafioso, yes. Townie, no.

Hmmm, you're right, that is how it reads: After that, as the detective, you can investigate one person per night...". So after N1 he can investigate, etc...

Sounds like a phony reveal.

vote: peverpink

Suspiciously very similar to the townie pm:

I don't believe that for one second, this is the second game where you have been lurking and then suddenly come from no where claiming to be the detective. Not going to work this time.


What I don't get is the point of you claiming mafia in the first place. You are either mafia and you want to get yourself lynched because you are insane. You are mafia and you are tryng to avoid getting lynched (which was your fault in the first place...) by trying to cover with your detective story. If you were the detective why would you try and get yourself lynched?

PM similarity could be due to GH writing them both. A 'basic' game doesn't need lengthy role PMs. In any case, it makes no sense to take a chance at lynching a possible detective. Better to let him live and possibly provide us with more detective results. Lynching a single mafioso won't reduce the number of kills anyway. pever should be given at least one round to prove himself.

FoS: Everyone who is voting for pever at this point.

If he is the legit detective, then one of these people is likely Kage's scum buddy.

I'm still undecided, but there are some things suggesting a fake reveal:

a) timing (late reveal, only after he gained a few bandwagon votes, pever is in Australia, maybe he felt the need to save his skin before he had to go to bed, making his reveal in fact a last minute reveal);
b) the odd wording of the role pm;
c) not posting the role pm sponteneously ;
d) not posting the original investigation results as pm'ed by GH.
