The Godfather, Part 3 [Concluded]

For the analysts this is what I sent to GH:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

The votes were tallied and VICTIM was the one doomed to judgment by The Wanax. But VICTIM was a scrappy one and the small number of remaining townies had a difficult time restraining and subjugating him so that he could be brought to the Gameroom square.

As the summons of The Wanax were heard, the townies took the VICTIM in chains until they saw the silhouette of The Wanax, waiting silently as usual. Though they had been through this ritual before several times, it never seemed to be any less unnerving.

"BRING ME THE DAMNED!" The Wanax boomed suddenly.

VICTIM was pushed towards the square. The Wanax seemed much taller than before, but that was probably due to the fact that VICTIM had never dared come near The Wanax before.

After some silence, VICTIM swallowed some of his fear and took a defiant tone: "Your job is to be the Chief of Police who protects us and finds the Godfather but all you seem to do is terrorize us and use us as fodder for your sadistic punishments! Well, I don't care anymore, do your worst!"

The Wanax, who seemed to be at that point reaching for his phasgana stopped. Though his face remained a static void, VICTIM swore he saw The Wanax raise an eyebrow and then grin.

"Very well," said The Wanax. He then proceeded to utter some chants, and then a small twister localized over the Gameroom square. The townies watched in awe as Askthepizzaguy's body rematerialized. Looking startled for the first minute of his being resurrected, Askthepizzaguy soon got down to business.

Pulling out many documents and charts he began to make SkyNet cases:

"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah..."

The townies all screeched in unison as their eyes and ears went sore from the yakking. The began to run away from the Gameroom square.

At this point The Wanax uttered some more chants and a giant clear dome encircled himself, Askthepizzaguy, and VICTIM.

Now that the auditory threat was neutralized, the townies found that by looking indirectly, they could watch the spectacle.

VICTIM was running around screaming, eyes wide shut and ears plugged. Still he could not stop being exposed to the cases of Askthepizzaguy.

Realizing that there was no escape, he began to bang his head on the walls of the dome when he realized the material was some kind of thick, unbrittle aerogel, incapable of dealing a knockout blow. The ground was also made with the same material.

So VICTIM was doomed to spend his last moments with Askthepizzaguy and die at the hands of his SkyNet cases.

A couple of minutes was all it took for VICTIM to finally drop dead, after some unsuccessful lunge attempts at Askthepizzaguy. The townies watched in horror as gray matter began to ooze slowly out of VICTIM's eyes and ears.

However, Askthepizzaguy did not stop, but rather now turned towards The Wanax, pointed an accusatory finger, and began making another case.

The Wanax however, quickly drew his phasgana and cleaved Askthepizzaguy in two.

After burying VICTIM, and reburying Askthepizzaguy, the townies went back to their dwellings, getting ready for the finale.

And yes, the write up idea was done a long time ago and was sent in before the latest round of SkyNetting. You have a deep influence on the game Atpg. ~:pat: :bow:

Yes I was happy with White_Eyes' lynch and couldn't of switched my vote even if I made it back in time.

Andres doesn't strike as guilty to me, either does Taka. Reenk's behavouir deserves a lynch almost any round of the game, but at this stage it's getting too critical and you can't just lynch someone because they aren't helping, you have to lynch the mafia/GF. I considered Beefy and White_Eyes to be equally suspicious, but I placed Beefy above White_Eyes because of the interaction between the two would be fitting for the Beefy, Reenk, Tevash triple mafia team. It kind of made since that Beefy is the GF and picked Reenk as someone who is risky and always in the spotlight, while Tevash who is completely the opposite. Of course the same could be said about White_Eyes.

I would just like to say a big well done to the Godfather who ever he is, making it out this far is no small feat, and deserves a great deal of recognition for his skills. I just hope that the curse of GH would continue to function in this game as well. :beam:

Qui audet adipiscitur :bow:

Time for my bet (I was partially right in the Scourge, and I think I'm fully right in this one)

I bet 100000 € on how Andres is the Godfather. And I bet with such a certainty that if he isn't (Even if he is just a grunt, which he's not) I will personally apologize.

EDIT: As such, my advice for town is to lynch him.

:laugh4:

Kudos reenk :balloon2:

The shade of Seamus shudders, makes the sign of the cross, and murmers in the wind.

If this does not finish it, there will be only 4. All 4 should be caused to recapitulate, in some length, how their actions/votes/commentary show them to be innocent. Then let the murdered -- not the lynched -- grill them. Then one last vote and it will be concluded.

GH: Let me not wait to say Great :daisy: Game! You have reconstituted a good series, but made it your own.

RR: You make me laugh. I knew my vote to elect you day one was a good choice. :laugh4:

eeeeek.....let's just see what happens then......

Ok, you have yourself a deal. I'll send you the details of my bankaccount once GH puts up the final write-up.

:laugh4: at Reenks write up

Lets hope that its over now

Night 11

Day breaks in the Gameroom. All is quiet.

Quintus.JC walked home from the latest execution, thoroughly disturbed at everything that had went on. With his mind elsewhere, he prepared for another night of sleep that wouldn't come. Of course, it didn't, as he stared at his ceiling, contemplating long after the sun rose.

He didn't notice the sound of a window breaking, nor the sound of footsteps throughout his house, nor did he notice the door to his room being kicked in and a shadowy figure standing in the doorway, pointing a revolver right at him.

*BANG!!!*

QJC died.

Laughing softly, the Godfather departed the scene. He needed to survive only one more lynch and then he was home free.

The shot rang out through the silent village, which meant everybody knew that they would have to be present at the Gameroom square one more time. And so, with the London Symphony Orchestra's rendition of "The Final Countdown" appropriately coming from the man with the boombox's speakers, they began the process of voting one last time.

For the four people remaining, including Chief of Police Reenk Roink, this was it. For better or for worse, this would be the last time.

ANNOUNCEMENT: This is the final round. Congrats to everybody for making it this far, but you're not done yet. The round will last for 48 hours, as is custom in the final round in my games.

Reenk, thank you again for all your work these past couple of days. There will be no need for a writeup this time. :bow:

Good luck, everybody!

Well, that means white_eyes was mafia if you believe the song title (no reason not too).

Beefy is the one to lynch.

Well at least they killed QJC, that being said, I suspect taka too now.

And how can I vote for Beefy seeing how I was sworn to protect him? :wall:

Please see my earlier post. All 4 should provide a statement and then the dead -- not the lynched or vigilanted, should query. Mathematically, it is 3-1 in favor of the mafia, and only this last batch of responses may generate the right "1."

At least town got one more lynch, it was possible to end in a godfather win this very night if he had a grunt left.

If I were alive I'd vote for Beefy. Andres doesn't looks it, I don't think its Reenk as well. Taka has reasonable suspicion but I think Beefy is the best choice
right now.

Edit: my death scene appears to lack creativity... I wanted a glorious death :no:

Generally what they have to say about the others is more interesting then what they have to say about themselves. Beefy was quite content to defend himself yesterday, but did you read his reason for voting quintus?

hm...........

Been looking at Beefy's posts during the later stage.

Said he'd be inactive sometimes, reluctant to put the final vote, relatively cool under pressure. Plus other ordinary actions which could be easily turned into accusations...

How does ATPG do his wall of text analysis? :dizzy2:

well its was very logical for mafia to kill quintus, since we all pretty much agree'd he was innocent, leaving the lynch baits alive.

i'm starting to get a feeling that andres might not be the GF after all, his attitude had been similar to that of chicago...

i'm still hoping that beefy isnt mafia, coz if he is then he's deffinately tricked me from start to finish. but im still gonna trust him

the only one left is reenk who i've always thought of as scummy, but not sure whether grunt or gf at the time

vote: reenk because he is the only one atm i'm thinking as scummy

Well there is no grunt left alive, only the GF.

I don't think Reenk's the GF because of his gambling style of play that is extremely risky for the GF, more suited for a grunt. But it's Reenk, and I can only bow to his greatness if he was the GF all along.

The only person left alive that I'm convinced is town is Andres, Reenk is unlikely, Taka is a legitimate suspect while Beefy looks the most suspicious for me.

Vote: taka

Don't you dare sir... :brood:

So I've decided I will honor my pact with Beefy as I made it irrespective of his alignment. If you want him lynched then both Andres and taka will have to vote for him. I probably will not counter it however.

I am game for voting against Andres if it ever goes to that situation.

By voting for me, taka just made himself look a lot worse in my eyes, plus he opens himself to the retaliation! :charge:

In the event of a tie, something a little bit different will happen this time around.

Tell us!

Something wonderful.

"Wonderful," from the chap who started the murder sprees at this site, isn't necessarily a ringing endorsement......:laugh4:

Sasaki, I quite agree. My point was not that it would be the "key" component, but that it would start the ball rolling and, with prodding from the undisgraced dead, we'd see precisely the kind of interaction that you cited.

If we don't, this will be a sad finale for the town.

Done. White_Eyes was mafia and everything is clear to me.

If he is the Godfather, it would require absolutely immense levels of testicular fortitude to do this. I would have personally switched my own vote even if I was innocent. If there is more than one mafioso alive and Andres is just a grunt, then his bravery is far less worthy of praise, but if that's the case I think the game is pretty much lost anyway.

In any case, I think the above is a major point in Andres' favor.

Well, as it is basically confirmed that White_Eyes was indeed the Mafia, I shall only pick the small excerpt of the game to prove that Andres is the Godfather. As you can see, quite possibly, only White_eyes was the remaining grunt and he voted for taka in the pre-Sudden Death vote, and with the godfather being in terrible danger after sudden death began, Andres, being a person who until then had little reasons to be suspected about, couldn't suddenly unvote to save himself, as it would certainly raise some eyebrows. Instead, the deal was made for his grunt (Who had previously voiced his apparent suspicion and vote for taka) to unvote the man which previously he thought was Mafia for Curio, leaving one man out of his suspicions of being Mafia.
At that point in the game, I think it was rather suicidal for the grunt to be voting for the Godfather even in pre-Sudden Death, and he voted for the other to make sure Andres survived the Sudden Death. As such, with TinCow's post, one could see the greatness and innocence in Andres, since he quite altruisticly didn't save himself, rather letting his henchman do the work.
This was exactly my rationale behind my 100000 bet, and when I went to check who had unvoted to save Andres and found out that it was none other than White_Eyes himself, I have now 90% certainty that the Godfather is Andres. That being said, I'm not sure if TinCow is another Grunt, since he was killed by the Mafia, I doubt he is though.

Short and sweet: White_eyes (Grunt) voted for one candidate for lynching (Affirming Andres is townie), and since Andres (Godfather) was brought also forward to the sudden death with Curio, and with White_Eyes' vote already in one Sudden Death candidate, he decided to shift his vote to Curio so Andres would be saved (Continuing to affirm that Andres is innocent). The repeated sentences of White_Eyes, who was Mafia, trying to shift attention away from Andres is also a clear indicator that Andres is the Godfather. Lynch him and Town wins.

Don't ever trust anyone in mafia. Thats one of the most important lessons I learned in mafia, and I learnt it hard way..

Evidence looks hard. Short write up suggests that someone without much confidence in grammer wrote it.

White_eyes seemed to have been a grunt. And we pretty much had the similer view on who is innocent and who is not.

That pretty much shouts out that I'm guilty. I don't deserve this. Your jobs as a townie should be to vote me right away and hang me.

Only plead I will make is that I know that I'm innocent. I screwed up.. I made my self look guilty on the last phase. For that I will apologize.

I'll vote Vote:Andres. And I don't expect anyone else to follow me but I think its Andres.

I suppose I should reread andres. His absence today is somewhat disturbing.

Haven't finished a read, but some points:

Jolt's theory has a problem, in that white_eyes breaking the tie doesn't necessarily implicate andres. White_eyes could simply have felt like making the decision himself. Would have to reread further to consider why. edit: curio was suspicious of andres. Jolt's point seems to make good sense, it's not conclusive though.

Second:

Why would andres have ares killed? This will require a much more detailed reread. Let's just say that wifom aside, in the endgame you want to have people alive who suspect other people and not you. Andres could have been trying to frame beefy, but is that really more useful than having someone alive who is going to vote for beefy because he thinks he's mafia? Edit: When you're going to have 6 alive the next day and you have 2 mafia left, one more vote on your side is a powerful thing. If we'd lynched a townie yesterday we'd have lost, if we lynch one today we lose. Now we had these 7 alive:

777Ares777
Andres
Quintus.JC
White_eyes:D
Reenk Roink
Beefy187
taka

If Andres is the GF, he would have killed someone who thought he was innocent, started the next round by voting for his partner, and the next night killed of quintus (who suspected beefy) instead of taka (who voted andres last round).

On the other hand, if beefy is the godfather, he killed off two people who were going to vote him.

Now you can say, "andres did that to frame beefy", but why bother? A frame is chancy and you already had a vote almost guaranteed.

Just says "I'm guilty, but don't lynch me, lynch andres I'm not going to give a reason."


Hard not to second guess myself and I will do a deeper read, but for now I'd say definitely stick with beefy.

Pretty much:shame:

To be honest, I was going to vote for QJC again as he was the only shady player for me left.
I absolutely trust taka to be innocent, and I can't vote for Reenk who has been nice to me all game. Only option is Andres who I thought to be innocent, but his the only one I could think of.

Players cannot avoid to do petty retaliation votes in the final round, vote for who you think is mafia, not they voted for me so I'm gonna OMGUS on them! because on the final round it can ruin everything!
