The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Large Mafia [Concluded]

"THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY"

Click and watch, to get you in the mood :cowboy:

Based on the film (#4 in the top 250 of IMDb)

I could write a description of the setting, but I don't think I could do the film justice. If you've seen it, you'll understand, if you haven't, go watch it!

Warning Character descriptions include spoilers from the film. So if you haven't seen it, don't read the Character description, just read the role description.

Standard mafia rules apply, 'day' and 'night' phases alternate. During the day phases all players vote for one player to be lynched. That person dies and is removed from the game. During the night phase the various principal roles perform their night actions, which includes the mafia killing people. If you're not sure about the rules, ask :smile:

This is a role heavy game, as I believe in lots of minor roles (which don't affect the main game, but add a bit of flavour for the lucky roled players :wink:)

Principal roles
(the ones that really affect the game, I've put in brackets the common role that best fits the actual role).

Angel Eyes, The Bad (Mafia equivalent) x1
Cpl. Wallace, Henceman (Mafia supporter) x1
Tuco Ramirez, The Ugly (Serial killer) x1
Blondie, The Good (see below) x1
Sheriff (Detective) x1
Bounty Hunter (Vigilante) x2
Father Pablo Ramirez (Doctor) x1


I don't expect you all to read all the detail of each role, so here's the essential summary:

The game ends when:
The Bad and the Bounty Hunters are dead (Town victory)
OR The Bad and the Ugly are dead (Town victory)
OR The town runs out of townies (Town defeat).

There are potentially 3 kills per night phase, if all mafia, vigilantes, serial killers choose to kill.

For detail:

Cowardly General Store owner

:soapbox:

In. Activity will be low during Taormina though.

Yeah, I hope this fills up slowly to give Taormina a chance to blossom and wilt.

However I really like the sound of this Myrddraal, well thought out.

IN, please.

Well, since I died in Andres's game... :laugh4:

In!

-edit- I request that Morricone sound files be linked whenever there's a death scene to properly compliment the film's atmosphere.

:bow:

Damn, GH, you beat me to it!

"PEEEEOWNG!"

I read all of the rules and roles in full - I think this is the best Mafia theme I have seen yet - of course, under Capo II..

In.

The tab won't open. :sad:

:charge:

In.

Throw me In.

Sign Me Up! :yes: :egypt: :clown:

We technically have enough players now, but I'll leave it open just a little while longer for any late comers who want to join.

Sign up, it's now or never!

In.

Signups closed, PMs to be sent shortly.

PMs are sent.

We start the game with a night phase

Send me your night actions!

So many roles and Im just an innocent towny :(

...oh well, let's do some lynching.

I doubt you are innocent, but you might be townie.

Hmmmmmmmm

Morning, Day 1

The ravages of the Civil war had left many towns desolate, Ghost Towns.

https://img91.imageshack.us/img91/6538/image1bn6.jpg

In one such town Mithrandir had stopped from his travels to bathe and cook up some food in the privacy of abandonment. Little did he know that he was not alone; a man had been following his trail, and arrived in town just as Mithrandir was preparing to leave.

https://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3397/image2fh7.jpg

Mithrandir took a swig from his bottle and walked to the door as he did up his belt, but before he could reach it, three bullets burst through the thin wooden planking and hit him in the chest. He was dead before he hit the ground.

https://img80.imageshack.us/img80/1606/image3hg6.jpg

The door swung loudly open, revealing Mithrandir's executioner, who took two steps to stand over his body. Shaking his head gently, he spun on his heels, mounted up, and rode on.


OOC:

This time only I will tell you the role of the victim. Mithrandir was an innocent townie. {BHC}AntiWarmanCake88 has informed me that he can't continue to play, and so I am offering to Mith the chance to take his place in the game.

Vote:GeneralHankerchief

Vote : Mithrandir

He's basically a zombie :shrug:

I have a better idea, a question for everyone. What is your favorite drink?

What is your favo(u)(?)rite drink Sasaki?

Because I already know the answer ~D

Not dodging the question are you?

Quote:

What is your favo(u)(?)rite drink Sasaki?

I'm partial of Ezra Brooks.

Hmm... favorite drink for me would have to be a nice 1784 Chateau Renoir.:toff:
Vote: Rythmic

Utterly random.

Well that's a fancy french drink that wouldn't be the favorite of The bad or the ugly or a corporal. So I judge makaikhaan to be innocent.

Vote: Sasaki Kojiro You can't trust a man who hides his face.

Favourite drink? Whatever's on hand... I'm not real picky.

What are you insinuating? That this is my real face and that I'm not wearing a mask?

Unvote : Mithrandir
Vote : woad&fangs

Ezra Brooks? I prefer Highland Park 16. Allthough I like a good whisky, I prefer beer. Leffe Blonde or Ciney blonde are currently my favourites.

Unvote: Sasaki: vote: Andres
You are obviously the Ugly

Leffe Blonde or Ciney blonde are currently my favourites.

So Andres is the Good...interesting.

You are clearly wrong! But you bring up an interesting point.

I didn't read anything about a drunk inquisitor... :inquisitive:

Unvote : woad&fangs; Vote : Sasaki Kojiro.

Its interesting that you have complete faith in makakhaan to tell the truth. What if he is lying and he favourite is actually 1956 Masi Amarone...?

I don't see how have a fancy favourite drink makes you innocent. Have such blind trust is really scummy because the mafia is the hunter and doesn't have to be such for anyone's innocence.

Vote:Sasaki

I prefer sunkist myself, when its invented.

How do you know about sunkist if it's not invented yet?

Are you the time traveller?

Vote:Sasaki

Now that's interesting. Joking about drinks aside, Sarathos appears to be making a serious accusation and wagoning to boot.

unvote,vote:Sarathos

Looks like only 1 person sent the order. I'd say that we should put our eyes in the ones who havent talked yet.

Jack

Wow, I didn't realize how small this game was.

Vote: Glenn

Haven't seen him either here or in Taormina lately.

I suppose that's dees enough

unvote,vote:Glenn

The truthful explanation is that I am on the other side of the world, which makes joining in hard enough without having to fit it around a couple of 13 hour working days.

Now, in comparison to playing style in Taormina - Sasaki is now disregarding and careless in all these frivolous accusations - and is quite willing to have anyone but Andres lynched.

There may be a tie between those two, and as far as this, "Blonde" thing goes - I think that was set up by Andres for Sasaki to find and make evidence from - probably because they are plotting in PM.

Then again, maybe not.

Speculative, WIFOM? It's nothing as ridiculous as what has been launched thus far.

Vote: Sasaki for an entire lack of temperance and resolve in comparison to his behaviour in Taormina.

Theres a time traveller? I havent seen the movie, so i dont know.

Vote:GH

Because I heard he was a communist.

Moonshine. ~;p

Random vote:

Vote: shlin28

What's a "communist"?

Unvote: Glenn
Vote: Tratorix

unvote: Glenn,vote:Tratorix

Yeah, what is a communist.

It's a guy who...uh...kills people...yeah that's it. :idea:

Sasaki(andres,Sarathos,Glenn)

Tratorix (GH, Sasaki)

rhythmic (khaan)

andres (W&F)

gh ( Ichigo)

shlin (rhythmic)

I realise that I did not specify voting deadlines.

Voting ends 24 hours from now.

Unvote : Sasaki ; Vote : GeneralHankerchief

Ichigo said GH is a communist, communists kill people ergo GH is guilty.

:logic:

Vote: Abstain

Tired I am, abstain I must.

EDIT:

Unvote: Abstain, Vote: W&F

A hunch as of yet, a dirty feeling I sometimes get. I dont get it often. Only once or twice since Capo 1, at that point it was Sasaki...

vote:Andres

Havn't got time to write a lot, so I'll just vote pever cos my instinct said so.

And there are a few ones of the Che too.
Vote:Andres

Random vote.

Another thing I forgot to mention. Ties not broken by The Good will be resolved at random so that only one person is lynched.

I think hot cocoa would suit me.

Now got more time to read this over... methinks Caius is suspicious, cos he third on bandwagon :inquisitive:

Awaiting more discussion before changing votes.

I'll be gone for the next two days so I need to reapproach the way I'm playing this game.

I am the Union Captain. My bonus objective is to get the Confederate Captain killed. The Confederate Captain is Pevergreen. Vote: Pevergreen

If Tuco would kill Pevergreen tonight I'd appreciate it. In fact, if you kill Pevergreen tonight I will reimburse you with one free "favor" of your choice in a future mafia game. If you blow up a bridge in the process that would be pretty cool.

Hopefully I'll still be alive when I return.

Unvote; Vote : pevergreen

Self preservation, sorry.

Huh, well that's two roles out of the way.

I'm going to sleep within a couple of minutes. Will this round last for more then, let's say 10 hours? Won't be near a computer any sooner.

And the role description doesn't say that the captains know each other, so how would woad&fangs (and we) know for sure that pevergreen is a townie?

I know I'm pro-town, so it's only logical for me to lynch an unknown factor instead of getting myself lynched.

That's how that role always works. You have an enemy and you know who they are.

If you were really pro town you would try to find an actual mafioso.

unvote,vote:andres

The role desciptions don't say that they know each other from the very start of the game, but I guess it would be kinda pointless to have an archenemy without knowing his identity.

Unvote : pevergreen; Vote : Caius

random votes are okay, but when your vote is the third vote for that player, you should give an explanation.

Good night all.

Quote:

---

Following a discussion with pevergreen, I've decided to change your roles so that you know each other's identity.

pevergreen is the Confederate Captain
woad&fangs is the Union Captain.

Accordingly, I am also changing your victory conditions.

Your only objectives are to kill your opposite and to survive. How you do that is up to you.

---

I convinced him to let us know who each other are.

W&F, while what you are suggesting is not against any rules, I dont like the spirit which it is.

Revealing makes it that we will only be nightkilled.

I am going to help the town, since I cant get you lynched. You (IMO, if i was a host i would be thinking) you ruined the idea of the roles. The idea is to mislead the town to lynch me.

:no:

Unvote: W&F, Vote: Andres

Im a proven non mafia, at least.

My role PM says to get you killed, it doesn't say how I'm supposed to do that.

WaRNING: below is my character description. It contains spoilers to the movie.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

A drunken Union captain who befriends Tuco and Blondie. He feels that the bloody siege his men are involved in is a futile waste, and dreams of destroying the bridge - a wish carried out by Blondie and Tuco. Mortally wounded in the Battle of Langstone Bridge, he dies just after hearing the bridge's destruction.

I don't see how asking for Tuco's help to kill you conflicts with my character's description.

Voting closed

Please wait for the conclusion of this phase :cowboy:

Tally:

Andres - 4 (Sasaki, Caius, Mithrandir, pevergreen)
pevergreen - 2 (shlin28, woad&fangs)
Sasaki Kojiro - 2 (Sarathos, Glenn)
Caius - 1 (Andres)
GeneralHankerchief - 1 (Ichigo)
Rythmic - 1 (makaikhaan)
shlin28 - 1 (Rythmic)
Tratorix - 1 (General Hankerchief)

Mithrandir I's body was soon discovered, and in a neighboring town (if it could be called that, only a few houses gathered around a well) the Sheriff had received many an accusation. Most of them were petty bitter accusations made by one rival of another, but there was a trend; four people had identified Andres as the killer, and the Sheriff had not hesitated to bring him into the cells. The penalty for murder, is death by hanging.

Now the inhabitants were gathered to see justice done.

https://img229.imageshack.us/img229/467/hanging1je8.jpg

"The condemned, standing before us... sitting before us... Andres... has been found guilty by trial by his peers of Murder"

The gathering crowd were anxious to see him hang...
"Glad they got him. A man guilty of all those crimes!"
But one mysterious man had a wry smile on his face...
"People with ropes around their necks don't always hang."
"What do you mean?"
"Even a man like that has a protecting angel... A golden-haired angel watches over him."

"we condemn him to be hung by the neck until dead.
May the Lord have mercy on his soul. Proceed."

But as the whip was raised to spur away the horse. Shots rang out across the the town.

https://img137.imageshack.us/img137/...anging3nd4.jpg

https://img81.imageshack.us/img81/6376/hanging4at1.jpg

Hats flew from heads and shots removed them with pinpoint precession. One shot broke the cord, and Andres dug his heels in deep, riding out of town. His mysterious saviour soon followed.

Send your night orders.

:sweatdrop:

That was close...

How does the ugly/ the good thing works?

the good can't win, because the ugly has to kill him... right?

Both the Good and the Ugly can be alive at the end of the game

Quote:

---

The game ends when:
The Bad and the Bounty Hunters are dead (Town victory)
OR The Bad and the Ugly are dead (Town victory)
OR The town runs out of townies (Town defeat).

---

In case 1, the Good achieves a major victory, the Town achieves a victory, the Ugly only gets a minor victory and the Bad and Bounty hunters are defeated.
In case 2, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly get a defeated, the Town achieves a victory, and the Bounty hunters achieve a major victory (if they're still alive).
In case 3, only one of the Bad or the Ugly can win, depending on who's the last man standing.

Night phase ends at 12:55 GMT tomorrow.
