Mafia Mongolica [Concluded]

https://i182.photobucket.com/albums/...a-80324520.jpg


It is the one hundred and seventeenth day I have spent at this camp. The semi-barren earth feels rigid beneath my feet. The skies are darkening early with clouds. I hope the heavens spare us, so that I might regain some sleep tonight, and that perhaps the soldiers and herdsmen will admit to an early night. I admit, I look upon these hardy people with a mixture of admiration, tinged with pity. I am feeling the effects of this never-ceasing lifestyle, where each person seems compelled by the spirits themselves to continue herding, riding, moving. One might think these savage barbarians, knowing nothing of the written character, of literature, of poetry, of plowing, of farming, of growing, would have much of their days to relax, and enjoy the fruit of their plunders. Yet they seem to find ways of occupying their time unlike any back home. Theirs is a life of never ceasing rigours, it seems. Perhaps this is the source of their recent resurgence?

Ah, well. I am going off track. My task continues to elude me. The man Jenghiz departed with a cadre of soldiers once more, undoubtedly off to meet another tribe for war. I was not allowed to follow, being told my safety could not be guaranteed outside this camp. Having seen corpses in the remains of ashen camps, the children and women folk weeping, I can feel safe in believing such a statement. It seems that negotiations will have to await another time. It is with a hint of frustration that I had anticipated setting my brush down one last time for this night. Alas! It seems there is a commotion outside the tent. I hurried outside to see what was the cause. The people of the camp had arrived before me, and formed a circle. I slithered in between many a person before finally arriving to the inner of the circle. On the grassy earth lay three bodies, all of them guardsmen. One man stepped into the inner of the circle, and began speaking to all who had gathered. His dialect was rough, but I gathered this much from his quick speech- intruders were upon the camp. The men to my left and right grimaced, and I felt a twinge of pride that I at least knew why. These savages, not being tied to the ground upon which they rode, came and went across the plains as freely as the wind. Many in the camp left, and many joined, over these days I had been here. They were of numerous different tribes, any of which might seek to destabilize a powerful conqueror. My thoughts began to race for my own well being; Jenghiz had guaranteed my safety, but other savages were not nearly so noble. My feelings of isolation increased greatly; I had always known I was a stranger in a foreign land, yet never before had it felt so constricted, so hostile. I wouldn't be able to escape if I had desired to. These savages know the land much better than I, and are far more skilled riders. I would have to hope they could solve this crisis....

My attention finally snapped back to reality as I realized the crowd was dispersing. The man who had made the address stepped towards me. He put his hand on my shoulder before speaking. He told me, I believe, that my tent would be guarded tonight, and that Jenghiz would be most angry if his vow of diplomatic protection were broken. I was relieved that the man who seemed to have been left in charge at least valued the order of his superior. I queried as to his name. I hoped that I could return his favor by informing Jenghiz of his lieutenant's fealty, should the intrusion pass. "Shinzei Khan", he told me. Then, with a stern look, he informed me it was time to return to my tent for the night.

Greetings all! Welcome to my latest Mafia game! I'm hoping for 40 people if I can!

Roles:

Mafia: 4(at optimum, may be adjusted depending on how many sign up)
Town: ?(yes, I'm evil like that.)

Twists? Perhaps.

Rules

Players must remain active. Inactivity, which will be defined as missing three consecutive voting rounds, or four total voting rounds, will result in the WoK(Wrath of Khaan).

NO QUOTING HOST'S PMS, NO QUOTING CHATLOGS, NO SCREENSHOTS, NO ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS, AND NO TRANSLATING HOST'S PM'S-You may quote PM's from other players. You may claim whatever you want, including role name, so long as you don't quote my PM's word for word, or very close to word for word. Also, you cannot reveal victory conditions. Period.

You may only commit suicide if you are absolutely unable to continue participation. I do not allow suicides for any other reason.

The dead may not reveal anything, quote PM's or do anything out of thread. Alive players are not allowed to contact the dead out of thread as pertaining to this game as well.

PLEASE KEEP A RUNNING TALLY OF VOTES.

And Lastly, DO NOT MESS WITH THE TALLY! If I determine ANYONE is intentionally messing with the tally, they will receive extremely harsh punishment. I tend to allow for mistakes, particularly if people aren't keeping tally, but be wary and vigilant regarding tally.

IN....Khaan? How many games have you hosted where the Mafia/SK's lost?:book:

I will be meat for the grinder. in.

Askthepizzaguy edited this post to leave you guys a message before I died and cannot reveal.

I am not the detective. Beskar claimed that he had investigated me very early on in the game, and at that point I told him that he had several rounds to make some progress before I busted him for fake revealing to me. I do not know if Beskar is guilty or innocent, but he was absolutely correct in that I did not have a night action. I was absolutely nothing in this game but a townie, and tossing my life in the way of his, and my credibility, was what I had to do as a soldier. But know this: I don't fully trust him. I do not want to have been played like a fiddle. His claim could just as easily have been a fake.

After revealing Ichigo as a guilty party, his usefulness as a detective is coming to a close. He may still be able to investigate and find the remaining mafia, but I cannot allow for the possibility that he completely used me for his own purposes as a mafioso. If he is not murdered by the mafia, YOU MUST LYNCH HIM. I would give him maybe a round of benefit of the doubt, but if he isn't murdered he must be lynched "to make sure" just as you wanted to lynch me "to make sure"

He claimed to have investigated me, AVSM, Reenk Roink, Ichigo the first time, and Ichigo the second time. I believe that Sigurd may have been the "leak" during night four, according to Beskar, but that assumes that we can trust him. Be wary of Sigurd but I can't really throw Sigurd under the bus based on the hunch of a guy I don't fully trust. Now you know everything that I have been told by Beskar.

:bow:

*waves at Khaan*

In please. :beam:

Minnesota mafia was the first game I've hosted where the town won. Matter of fact, it was actually the first one where the town lynched a mafia/serial killer. Still running a brutal 0-for in large games.

ahh I cant believe I am going to miss this. I have to go away camping the week after next.....

ahh what the heck, put me in. Chances are someone will kill me anyway.

Yeah...I think in "Chicago Soiree" you talked about how town has not lynched one scumbag in how many of your games?:thinking:

I am thinking this could go good or bad....:laugh4:

In. Time for my revenge on TinCow, methinks.

I know this much: If I start to think of accusing TinCow about something, I'll shut my big yap. :laugh4:

:bow:

In.

Although wasn't this originally supposed to be a sequel to Spirit Mafia? That game was fun (particularly killing townies with supernatural powers... :evil:), and I think it was just about the first one to feature a mind-controller role. This, I'm sure, will be just as good. :2thumbsup:

In.

I'm not going to sign in this one.

It was originally going to be a sequel to Netherworld mafia, my first large game. Alas, I wasn't totally comfortable with the details, and I've had this game up my sleeve for a while now.

Joining my steppe brothers...

Actually, Iowa is pretty close to a steppe.

:bow:

Was going to sit out, but if you need players, I'll be more then happy to play :bow:

What? Sit out! THen we have no one to lynch! :grin2:

For the khaan!

EDIT: Reenk, you're back!? :O

iN.

It would be the irony that me and Jolt were mafia partners.

Few people took me seriously, why would they?

Well, it seems I'm lacking the numbers I was hoping for. I'll give it two more days. If y'all got people to pester convince to join of their own volition, that'd be awesome.

:sweatdrop:

Uhh... there's lotsa people on my friends list who might be interested. However, I've done a lot of spamming for my own games and the games of others, and I need a break. The peeps I invited for the Capo de Tutti Capi III game might be a good start.

Ok I have to drop out, I have to go away Sunday and will be gone for a week.... :sweatdrop::sweatdrop:

yeah, i'm back. IN

I have been able to connect to .org from work this week... *Crossing fingers*

I so fail at trying to NOT be addicted to mafia :wall:

Well, it seems I'm going to have to cut the game down a pinch to account for fewer players than I'd like. I'm gonna give things another couple hours, then I'll send out roles.

Puts a vacuum cleaner to YLC, we are going to suck you back in.

Ok, roles have been sent out. Night begins NOW. I would like this phase to last 24 hours, but am willing to give a bit of leeway.

IF YOU DIDN'T GET A PRIVATE MESSAGE, YOU ARE A TOWNSPERSON. DO NOT ASK.

Great to have you back :2thumbsup:

Should we know how many mafioso there are? The first post says 4, but indicates it would be adjusted based on the number of players.

I'm gonna make a change -uh- for once in my life

it's gonna feel real good
gonna make a difference
gonna make it right...

There are two mafioso now.

When does it start?

Yaropolk rested his head against the earthen floor of his tent. He wasn't concerned with the guard's death. He knew his own martial prowess would keep him from harm, as it had done in so many engagements previous. Yes.... Perfectly safe.... Yaropolk's conciousness began to drift as sleep began its intrusion upon his mind. Nothing but the wind and the gentle flutter of the fabric of his encampment. He vaguely wondered if perhaps there was a bit more fluttering than should be, but dismissed it in favor of the comfort sleep brought.

The man stood outside his target's tent. He cautiously leaned toward the entrance, attempting to decipher whether or not the man had yet fallen to sleep. To his pleasure, he heard a faint snore emanating from within, indicating no activity. The man stalked into the entrance, bow in hand, alert in the event he was mistaken. However, when he made his way in, he was given a mental reprieve, for his target lay still, solidly in a subconcious realm. The man pulled a knife from his belt, holding it in his right hand. He laid the bow down. Creeping towards the sleeping target, the man gently rested his left hand on his target's mouth, with the knife held aloft in his right. With sudden force, the knife was brought down upon the sleeping man's neck, while the left hand muffled mouth. Blood surged out through a multitude of arteries, as the knife was ripped across the vital area.

Yaropolk jolted awake for a couple of seconds, as a searing pain erupted in his neck. A rugged, dirty man was gagging him with his left hand. Yaropolk struggled, but with his vocal cords effectively shredded, not a sound could leave his mouth before he drifted off to a final, last sleep.




I was awakened this morning by a ruckus outside of my tent. Another night of poor sleep, it seems. The sun was just beginning to peak over the horizon. I stepped outside, and for a moment, was terrified. Three of the savages had been shouting at each other when they noticed me. Immediately, they each shot murderous glares at me. I was relieved when two guards, who had been standing at the entrance to my tent, immediately rushed in front of me and sent the men off with a stern warning. I asked the guards what had happened. They replied that they did not yet know for sure, as they had been at my tent the whole night. I followed more angry shouts towards the direction the angry men had stalked off to. At the eastern boundary of the camp, the man who had temporarily replaced Jenghiz in his absence, Shinzei, was speaking to what seemed to be the entire remaining encampment. Another body was placed before Shinzei, one different from the guards who had been killed yesterday. I seemed to have arrived after the speech had begun, but I believe I accurately figured what was happening. Some kind of temporary council was being formed. Shinzei stated that traitors stood in our midst. My confidence waned once more that I might survive this assignment. It was then that Shinzei noticed my presence. He motioned for me to come to his side. Feeling a bit safer, at least for the moment, I immediately obeyed. He requested that I keep track of the events of the council. I agreed. What was the worst that could happen of this, after all...?

Unvote; Atheotes
Vote: FactionHeir

My Random Pointer Said So.

And I don't like this suspicious bandwagon because I said so.

I should have guessed being the first person to vote would make me look scummy. I almost always vote for TinCow first, IIRC. It's its own league of meatballing. Like, Lotharing or something.

If there was two Mafia, why was there only one kill? Did a Mafia forget to send in orders or something?

We forgot to keep up with something very important.

Just read through the thread, no comments from FactionHeir, and if he was Mafia and didn't send in his orders, could explain the only one kill. I will vote till he comes on to provide further information.

Human behavior file 54627: How not to be seen.

1. Act uninterested.

2. Don't make your notes public.

3. Oops.

4. ?????

5. Profit!

Vote for sale! You sir! This vote is one of a kind, of that you can be assured. Tired of just a single vote? Tired of being unable to really influence the vote? Need someone lynched, but don;t have quite the numbers you need? Or or you sitting terrifyingly perched on the possibility of death, and but need one vote more to save yourself?

Look no further! Now good, sir, I promise you will not be disappointed, not one bit, for this vote never fails, never goes bad, never breaks, and usable in all situations. Here, is a demonstration of it's effectiveness!

Vote: gibsonsg91921

See, works wonders! Creates a tie immediately! Many others try to imitate this, but this is the one and original, one of it's kind. So accept no substitutes, and go only for the highest quality.

Unvote: gibsonsg91921

Now we have a clean slate, I'll sell not only this vote to you, but if you ask within the next hour, I'll throw in 2 other votes, free! That's right, not 1, not 2, but 3 high quality votes for the price of one! Remember, they never break, nor go bad, and never have to be replaced, and they are priced within anyone's budget!


But hurry, these high quality votes are in demand, and they will go fast. So post now for high quality, never fail, never break, never go bad vote, and if you post within the hour with the highest bid, you get not 1, not 2, but 3 high quality votes!

Vote:TinCow

And his third vote.

Go on my killers, wipe the mongol horde off the steppe to ensure the salvation of Kievan Rus!


Rule # 125 if Yaropolk is alive after 2 nights, it's only because he's in the mafia.

Where is the link to the Mafia rules again?

Vote: Askthepizzaguy. Because he's always guilty.

You sir, hey sir, do you wish to double your vote? Do you wish your vote had more weight? Well, sir, I can sell you a vote! That's right, an entirely new vote of such quality it will double what you have now! Think of the possibilities!

Not only do you get this new double vote, but, it comes fairly cheaply to! It never breaks, never goes bad, never has to be replaced! Can your Horse do that? I think not! So why buy a new horse when you can buy this high quality vote! Double your voting power today! Our barters are standing inline and waiting!

Try to keep a running tally - it's enough work hosting the game already.
