Warning: This is my very first time, either as a host or a player. However I am a big fan of the mafia games played in the past and I have learned the rules of the game.

With such a small group, I've given almost everyone a special ability designed to extend the game to prevent an early town or early mafia victory. I am considering revealing to everyone which character they are, but not revealing to everyone the special abilities of all the characters.

1. There is at least one scummy character, so no practical joke game here. There is an evil side and a good side.

2. There is something in place to prevent the end of the game when the scummy character dies, but the game is winnable by Town.

3. Town has a number of characters with special abilities. Nothing too extravagant; certain characters will be able to withstand a lynch or a murder attempt, for example.

4. You do not want to lynch certain characters. :devil:

5. You do not want to murder certain characters. :devil:

NOTICE:

I would prefer to be contacted via email rather than private message.

Askthepizzaguy@yahoo.com

You may also contact me at windows live messenger at that same ID, and askthepizzaguy is my yahoo messenger ID.

I do not approve of monitoring other player's private messaging activities, as this is both unsportsmanlike AND unreliable. Double whammy.

If anyone becomes inactive or drops out, I would like to substitute a player in their place. I dont want dropouts to kill a fun game. They will take on the same role the first player had.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Police Chief Clancy Wiggum is investigating the grisly murder of the entire Simspon family. Well, the immediate family, anyway. Not counting the pets, or the non-canon characters, or the extended family, or the one-shot characters. But, you know, the main dudes. And besides, most of the pets have already been killed off by the show's writers. In an interesting sidenote, during the writer's strike....

GET ON WITH IT!!!!

...Right. So anyways, Wiggum is investigating the grisly murders of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie.

"Ok boys, search the entire residence for evidence of pizza, pastrami, hot dogs, or any member of the pastry family. And if there's beer in the fridge, I want it on my desk by sunrise."

Officer Lou:
"Okay chief. But you may want to take note that all of the victims appear to have been killed by pies to the face."

Wiggum:
"That's some good work, Lou. I am kind of hungry for dessert. What kind of pies are they?"

Lou:
"Three are banana creme pies, one is custard, and the final one is a cherry pie."

Wiggum:
"Awww... they didn't have any blueberry pies? I'm kind of hungry for blueberry."

Lou:
"I'd also like to point out, chief, that cherry pies are never thrown at people's faces for comic effect, because the cherries are usually baked inside the pie crust, whereas custard and banana creme pies are mostly pie filling, and therefore messier."

Wiggum:
"Okay, Lou, you've done some good work, but we aren't concerned with attention to detail. We're police officers, not mystery writers. The audience is going to get bored if you drone on and on about the kind of pies the victims were killed with. Certainly these details aren't clues which will be used later on to determine the killer."

Lou:
"Right, chief."

Wiggum:
"Now give me the custard pie and call it a night, Lou."

Lou:
"Don't you want me to collect and document the pies as murder evidence?"

Wiggum has already easten most of the custard pie;
"No, that's some good work Lou. Allow me to finish collecting the evidence myself. And have a pizza delivered, it's going to be a long night."

Lou:
"Sir, no pizza place is open at 4:30AM"

Wiggum:
"That's it, Lou, I'm demoting you back down to lieutenant."

Lou:
"I am already a lieutenant, chief."

Wiggum:
"That's some good work Lou. Less paperwork that way."

The Simpsons have been murdered, and it's up to the secondary characters to determine who among them is the serial killer. Everyone who has signed up, please say "present" and we will begin the game and you will be assigned your roles.

We're trying to find their murderer.

And...yeah, here.

Oh dear... I feel like an idiot. :embarassed:

Only 8 have confirmed their participation, and one has declined to join after all.

We will miss you, Makaikhaan

Oh, and I took roll call for this very reason... in larger games you can afford to lose players. I need all 12 to be present.

present

Okay, we've had 10 take attendance out of the 11 remaining, and I will just assume the final person shows up. Though we won't have much of a game if that person turns out to be the killer.

Everyone, PLEASE try and find a replacement for our final person. I'll ask my friends. I can start this game right now if we have our final player.

I'm here :yes:

Nevermind, Ibn-Khaldun joined the game, and I'll just assume the final player is in. :wink:

sending everyone their roles now.

Remember, I prefer to receive communications by email. Everything else clutters up my pm box and also gives "telltale" signs you're sending in kills. Don't get caught.

EVERYONE HAS THEIR ROLES. Game has begun.

Vote now to lynch the person you believe to be the serial killer. Votes must be in by 12pm (noon) on the 21st of August, Eastern time (United States).


Still alive:

Quintus JC
Elite Ferret
Sarathos
Motep
Lord Winter
Warmaster Horus
Tratorix
Fenring
Ibn-Khaldun
Craterus
El Diablo
Beefy 187

I'll kick things off then.

vote:Beefy

Vote: Motep

:shrug:

To me there is something very sinister in the name of El Diablo so..

I vote EL Diablo

I've followed Mafia for a while and El Diablo always gets a vote based on that same reasoning.

:laugh2:

edit: at least you attempted to have a reason. :bow:

vote:Ibn-Khaldun

I claim the role of Apu. Fos:whoever is Burns and Smithers, they looks most likely to be mafia, but you can never be sure I suppose.

And ATPG, El Diablo is still alive in Proscription mafia, and there are only 5 people left in that.

I suppose people do learn, El Diablo had been wrongly accused and lynched just because of his name... I'm glad the Senators had enough brains to let him live to that stage.

So... Hi-diddly ho, neighborinos! Because of my strong christian faith I really should have the devil burnt... but accusing an innocent man is wrong. I'll just pretend I don't understand Spanish.

I think we should concentrate on Fat Tony, Mr. Burns might be more eviler than Cruella de Vil, but I don't think he hold any grudges against the Simpsons... It's not like any one of them shot him in the past or something like that. :clown:

Vote:Beefy
Alphabetical first round vote FTW!

Can we try to keep a tally? I'll have one up in an hour or so.

Vote: Quintus

Cause I wanted to be flanders...

Once again my .Org name come to haunt me :laugh4:.

As always I am town (that is 6 games from 6) and the one time I was left to the end of the game the town won. So lynch me at your peril!!!

In this game I play a pretty nerdy kind nerd. Infact if I could figure out how to work this tri-combfibrulatorina that ATPG let me have I could tell who the serial kiiller is straight away....

*dang* thing work work.

:shrug:
Vote Warmaster Horus

Also I don't think that ATPG would be so obvious as to have the "bad guys" of the Simpsons be the bad guys in here. In much the same way that the "bad guy" that shot Burns was...

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Maggie

Dont read if you have not seen that episode...





Oh I see the probelm the flux capasitor has its polarity wonky...

I don't think that's a good idea, if he really is Flanders I think it would be highly unlikely he is mafia, though what ED said could be true, and ATPG has used relatively friendly townies as the real murderers to confuse us...

It would be likely. Besides...I could pull off flanders...

Do you want some pointers?

I've got cripplin arthritis in me index fingerrrrrrrssss!!!!

moved to update.

I will not try to roleplay my character. Is for the best, I fear.

I don't think he has any of the mafia under the most supcious characters it would be a dead give away and hand so many confirmed innoccents that it would just unbalance the game.

Vote: Sarathos

Just a presure vote for now.

Just so everyone knows,

I could come up with a reason why anyone would want to be mafia or serial killer.

Just one more vote needed.

Vote: Beefy

Just so that you won't be even more suspicious of me when I reveal later, I'm Montgomery Burns. I have a rather unconventional ability but I'll keep that secret for now.

If no one wants to change their votes, we can proceed to the night phase. Perhaps 48 hours is too many this time?

Unless there are any objections, that's what I'm gonna do. I think everyone has had a chance to vote, or change their vote. Beefy is pretty much toast anyway.

CLICK THE SPOILER!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"This is Kent Brockman with an Action News Report:

The town has gathered in front of Springfield Retirement Castle, armed with pitchforks, torches, and signs that say "give peace a chance". The crowd looks bloodthirsty, as usual. They seem to be chanting "We want Moleman! We want Moleman! We want Moleman!"

It seems an elderly man has exited the facility, he appears to be walking with a cane. The crowd appears to be racing towards the gentleman... yes... now they appear to be TEARING HIS LEG OFF! Oh mercy. They are beating the poor man to death with his own leg.

Wait, the crowd has stopped. The old man appears to be speaking, let's have a listen."

Jasper:
"Is this about the money I owe in back taxes?"

Police Chief Quimby:
"Aha! So you're a mass murderer AND a tax cheat. You're going to get twice as much jail time, now!"

Jasper:
"Can I have my wooden leg back?"

Quimby:
"Wooden leg? The file doesn't say you have a wooden leg. You are mister Hans Moleman, aren't you?"

Jasper:
"I could be. My name is hardly ever mentioned in the show. But I'm pretty sure Moleman is inside, flossing his gums."

Quimby:
"Let's get him, boys!"

Jasper:
"Hey, what about my leg?"

Kent Brockman:
"The crowd appears to be trampling the old man to get inside the building. There appears to be a lot of commotion, and the crowd is.... yes, they are returning with the filthy mass murderer in tow. It seems the horrifying reign of darkness in Springfield has been lifted, as the man who murdered the entire Simpson family is carried off to the town square to be hanged!"

Moleman:
"Hung!"

Kent Brockman:
"No, that's hanged. It appears this cold blooded killer needs a lesson in grammar. They are stringing him up now... and... Hans Moleman has been executed by a violent mob for the crime of mass murder."

Moleman:
"Ouch, that hurt."

Kent Brockman:
The crowd appears to be dispersing now.... yes, they are just leaving the criminal mastermind known as Mole Man to be devoured by vultures.

Moleman:
"Can I go home, now?"

Kent Brockman:
"Astounding. In 20 years of covering the news, I have never seen someone survive being hanged."

Moleman:
"It's not so amazing. I once survived being inside a car that exploded for no reason. It hurt, a lot."

Kent Brockman:
"So the master criminal known as Moleman has escaped and is still at large. Or perhaps, the one known as Hans Moleman is just a really lucky innocent bystander. But in the court of public opinion, he's the most wanted man in Springfield. Let's ask this local man what he thinks.

Sir, are you afraid that the mass murderer Hans Moleman is still at large?"

Cletus the Slack-jawed Yokel:
"There's a moleman out there? That's purty neat. Imma geet my shotgun and make some Mole stew tonight!"

Kent Brockman:
"How revolting. Good luck to you sir."

Okay, mafia members, send in your murder to askthepizzaguy@yahoo.com.

End of Day One. Begin Night One.

The write up's excellent and makes sense. so Han's Moleman's ability is to survive a lynch (mulitiple lynches?). I think that kinda of clears Beefy off his crime, he's probably innocent.

I won't confirm or deny that.

:laugh2:

He could have assigned all the abillities first then done an random draw for mafia.

Craterus is going to be away next week, so if we arent wrapped up by then, I'd like someone to replace him.

I'd rather not WOG anyone or have one less suspect, town or mafia. So if anyone knows someone to take his character's place, we can continue as usual.

We can continue without him, but I'd rather find a replacement anyway.

I already have the kills in. So, imagine that, night phase is over already!

CLICK THE SPOILER:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

"This is Kent Brockman, in the channel 6 helicopter with Ernie Pye. But this is no mere traffic report..."

Pye:
"Hey!"

Kent Brockman:
"Face facts, Ernie. We are hovering over Burns Manor, where Charles Montgomery Burns is in critical condition. It appears that Burns was intended to be another victim of the mass murderer, who is still unidentified. Set this helicopter down, Ernie!

Police were called as soon as the culprit entered the premesis by shattering a window. It appears that the masked villain smashed an antique vase over his head and attempted to poison him with alcohol. Mister Burns, do you have anything to tell reporters about this incident?"

Burns:
"That cowardly brute was after my precious money, I am sure of it. I managed to swallow my gold tooth, and my Rolex watch before the villain could intoxicate me. The sadistic freak actually managed to force me to drink an entire glass of Cold Duck before I passed out from the awful taste."

Kent Brockman:
"How did you manage to alert police?"

Burns:
"Well, the silent alarm released the hounds, and also contacted police for me. Luckily, Smithers was here to clean up the broken glass and the vase, and also give me a sponge bath and a brain massage before police showed up."

Kent Brockman:
"Fascinating. Well, there have been two near-deaths in Springfield tonight. I sincerely hope that whomever is behind all of this is getting a good laugh, because I do not find it at all amusing. This is ratings week, and people want to see blood and gore."

Burns:
"Excellent. Now get off my property before I have you arrested for trespassing, newsie."

Kent Brockman:
Are we still being broadcast on Fox, Ernie?

Ernie:
"Of course"

Kent Brockman:
"Go :daisy: yourself, Mister Burns."

________________________________

In a surprise twist, it appears Mister Burns (Fenring) was not successfully murdered. So no additional victims tonight.

Everyone is still alive. And yes, people can and will die in this game.

Elite Ferret

Motep
Lord Winter
Warmaster Horus
Tratorix
Fenring- survived one assassination attempt.
Ibn-Khaldun
Craterus
El DiabloBeefy 187- survived one lynch.

Begin Day Two.

Bad hosting move, if you do that then we know that the mafia must have been online/active in the last 2 or 3 hours...

This is getting suspicious...

Well, to do an FH imitation: who was on for those two hours and a half?

@EF Wrong. I get the lynches by email.

That line of thinking doesn't hold up. They could be specifically avoiding being active on this site during that time.

Well in that case I officially declare myself illiterate and stupid, my apologies :bow:

Dont say that, EF.

Its a common tactic to try to catch the murderer by watching who's been online. I specifically requested the mafia members to not pm me the murders, and also for everyone to contact me by email only.

:bow:

I knew you guys would try to catch them that way, and I've rendered that method impossible.

vote: Tratorix

For my own amusement.

But I'm still stupid for not looking for that in the rules before insulting your hosting skills...

Vote: Elite Ferret

Because your latest post might have been an act. And it's the only suspicion I have at this point.

Err.. So is Burns dead? :idea2:

No, he survived. :book:

okily dokily. ~:)

New rule;

Asking if a player is innocent or not will be ignored. Just to be fair to everyone.

:bow:

Everyone's alignment and special traits will be revealed at the end of the game. Good luck everyone!
