You’ve come across some very interesting information regarding a high-stakes job that needs to be pulled. Very little is being said about the job, in fact, nothing is being said at all. Word of the job is very tight, as if the employer doesn’t wish it to be known. The job will take a minimum of three weeks and you’ll be paid for your time and you earn 10% of the take.
Players:
Diamondeye
CCRunner
atheotes
Subotan
Secura
Askthepizzaguy
Beskar - Captured by the City Guard!
Intrigued by the looks of this.
Never seen you host before Methos
I'm IN
though you may want to include some more information about the game...
What is this one?
If its Mafia then no thanks but if its something else then Im keen...
All 'players' will receive a pm detailing where to meet and asking for bank account details so that he can transfer the 10% to your account.
Haha, no, I believe Methos meant this as a "Small Mafia Game", but he has yet to learn his wings on this forum.
Methos, could you post a confirmation of this as well as some description of the game?
Also you might want to edit/have a mod edit in the "small mafia game" tag...
Yes, its a mafia style game with seven players. Sorry, my mistake. I intend for the first game post to be more informative. It's true that I've never hosted. I'm starting small to get my feet wet and will work up from there.
It is actually mini-mafia game, not small-mafia game.Quote:

Small games needs to be put in the queue with the other small games (8-17) players. Mini mafia is the correct term for this game.
I have added a "Mini Mafia Game" tag as you requested Methos.
Bump.
Hey fellas, it's a 7 person mini mafia. There's gotta be interest in this. The worst you can do is seventh place! Isn't that worth signing up for?
Count me in :bow:
Methos, you have only six spots marked in the Players section...
Perhaps make the "players" line stand out with a B, U tag.
Alright, I'm in
Hi Methos!
Will be glad to do my part in helping you get your training wheels off, so to speak. Count me in!
....And MY Axe!!!
(In)
We're still one person short. Assuming someone signs up, I'll start this first thing tomorrow morning. Character roles will be random and the opening post will be more informative.
Come on, one more signup so we can get this game off the ground!
We have cookies! :3
I am going to expect your cookies from you now, Secura.
In.
Excellent! I'm just getting ready to go to bed, so I'll start this in the morning. Just curious, since this is a mini-game, am I supposed to create a game thread, or do we just play the game in this thread?
Just play it in this thread. I'm pretty sure that's the procedure at least
My cookies bring all the townies (and mafia) to the yard...Quote:

After all, you were thieves, this was second nature. Yet you quickly learned why. The city of Torn was controlled by an accomplished thief, known only as The Master. He has controlled all criminal aspects of Torn for over a decade and every outsider knows not to pull a job in the city of Torn without his approval. Yet, that's exactly what this job was. You now knew why such delicate care had been taken to get thieves from outside of Torn and to make sure that none of you knew each other. You were doing the unimaginable and pulling a job underneath the very nose of the Master himself! The risks were great, but the rewards were even greater!
The job started off too good. Everything was going to plan, perfectly and this had everyone worried. There was always some sort of problem, yet this job had none. You had managed to sneak past all of the guards with ease, disable every trap and alarm, both magical and mundane, in record time. You had the loot in hand and were just turning to leave when you all heard something skid across the floor. As you glanced down you notice it was an alchemical flash bag. You reflexively turn away as the alchemical mixture detonates, shattering nearby windows and throwing many of you to the floor! As the lot of you are recalling the emergency escape plan, you come to the realization that the alchemical flash bag had come from someone within this gathering of thieves!

There will be both a day and a night phase, though that doesn’t necessarily mean its that time of day. Night phase is merely what is being done behind the scenes where the rest of you can’t see what is going on. You may still talk during the night phase, since your group will still be attempting to escape.
Role PMs will be going out shortly. Let the game begin...
I've sent out the role PMs. Every player should have received a PM. If you didn't receive one, please let me know. Also let me know if you have any questions. Thanks and enjoy!
We're currently in 'Night Phase' then? :3
Yes, it's currently the night phase. The update will be at noon tomorrow, central time. It's currently 11:44 am my time.
Morning Update
After the detonation of the alchemical flash bag, you all knew you were in serious trouble. The explosion was deafening and add to that the sound of shattering glass, you knew the city guards would be arriving any moment. There was a sewer access located in the basement, but it would require you to flee towards the far side of the building first. Moving as quickly and silently as possible, you head towards the sewer access. As you pass one of the outer walls you notice an exterior door that wasn’t mentioned when this escape plan was first discussed. What’s even more worrisome, is the door is partially ajar. Turning quickly, you head straight for the basement stairs, your every sense now alert for whomever had joined you.
The commotion in the courtyard was now very obvious and you could tell that the city guard was quickly building up in force. You needed to get out of here and quickly! As you rounded the final bend near the stairs there was a second flash and you all became temporarily blinded. Blades came to hand from unseen pockets with almost immediate reaction and the sound of steel on steel was easily apparent. Luckily, the guards had been too eager and the effects of the flash had gotten some of the guards as well. The guards were no fools, they knew they were at a disadvantage in these tight corners and we’re hesitant to advance without help.
In the brief hesitation of the guards, Diamondeye noticed the large mirror upon the wall and with a quick leap and deft hand, Diamondeye brought the mirror crashing down between the guards and yourselves. You all break out into an all out run towards the basement, quickly moving down the stairs and reaching the room with the sewer access, only to find that it isn’t there. After locking and barring the door, you all begin to spread out, searching the room for the access. You quickly came to the conclusion that the owners of the building had laid a false floor to conceal the access. You all began removing the false floor as fast as possible, as the guards arrived at the door. False flooring was flying everywhere as you searched for the access, while on the other side of the door you could hear the guards demanding that someone grab something that could be used as a battering ram, while another guard began slamming his shoulder into the door. Just as Secura hollered out he’d located the access door, the guards broke the door down. It was at this point that the honor of thieves, or lack of it, was all too apparent. None cared about those around them, it was an all for yourself. Some drew blades, some dove for the sewer access. Though Beskar was a thief, he was also exceptional with a blade. Only two guards had entered the room and one of them appeared to be the one who broke the door down, as his momentum caused him to fall prone of the floor. Beskar’s blade came out of nowhere and the standing guard came to the realization that his bowels had been opened up and his innards were falling out. He fell backward into the doorway, blocking the other guards from entering. It was a perfect maneuver and one that would give the thieves all the time they needed to escape. As Beskar began to turn back towards the sewer access a small throwing dagger struck him just behind the knee, bringing him to the ground. The pain was intense and for a moment he was dazed. The prone guard quickly grabbed Beskar and with his guantlet he struck Beskar upon the head, turning his dazed look to that of someone who was unconscience. The rest of you didn’t wait around to see what happened next, you dropped into the sewers leaving Beskar to his fate.

It is now the day phase. Tomorrow I’ll be out of town during the update, so it’ll be several hours late. Before I post the update, I’ll state that I’m getting ready to do so. Or would you all prefer I wait until Sunday and give you an exact time?
Yes, the update is two hours early, but I had everything I needed, so I didn't feel the need to wait.
Just a disclaimer, when a players name was needed for the update, I used random.org to pick which player it was. I will continue doing so throughout the updates.
Just post an update when it suits you best, Methos. :3
Just to be clear, it is the day phase, so feel free to accuse each other. Please do so in a roleplay fashion, if you don't mind.
I shall vote for Diamondeye, as random.org commands
vote: Diamondeye
I reckon he's responsible for all this!
Atheotes is always the mafia.
Random.org says vote: CCRunner
Yes, I know that, but he's my scum partner and I want us to win.Quote:

She moves in mysterious ways.
The update will be sometime late tonight. We have family plans during the day that'll interfere with the game. So update will be late tonight.
Scummy post, because I was joking like my accusation of atheotoes.Quote:

Overall I feel that is slightly more scummy than atheotes' direct approach.
I wasn't aware that there was a bandwagon going on at such an early stage of the game. There's been no evidence for me to pick anyone thus far, hence why I simply went with a randomised result. There's five names, 20% chance it could have picked anyone of you; it simply picked atheotes.Quote:

Since we aren't voting No Lynch, which is probably the best option, given the fact that there are 6 of us, that tells me that we will be lynching today. In order to ensure that there isn't a 100% chance of failure I had to seize the initiative here.
Which of course is a huge problem if I am wrong. One murder and it is 2 v 2. I'm already starting to get cold feet about this.
Dang it.
Unvote, vote: CCRunner
Why is Pizza so concerned? Atheotes is his scum partner.
His comment earlier wasn't a bluff.
Would you like me to vote for him and prove you wrong?Quote:

Reminder: I need help otherwise I've just committed suicide.
Pizzaguy, you're next if this is wrong;
unvote; vote: Subotan
Dude, if this is wrong, the game is over. There is no second chance.Quote:

Beskar seems to think that Subotan is the most likely to have first round killed him.
We will need a third vote on Subotan in order to be safe.
"If you wanna kiss the sky,
Better learn how to kneel.
On your knees, boy!"
Subotan, your reasoning behind Pizza seems a little sketchy, is it possible for you to elaborate? Because at the moment, I'm going to unvote, vote: Subotan.
By the way, Beskar talks all the way from gaol? Ventriloquoy at it's finest, no?
I am Psychic Zero. I talk in your minds.
Due to the events of the round, I have concluded that either Subotan is guilty, or Secura is guilty.
If Subotan is innocent, the scums would be on the bandwagon to lynch him. That means Secura. (probably)
If Subotan is guilty, then he's dead anyway.
Congratulations Secura, whatever happens, whichever team you are on benefits from this move. I like your cool response to my accusation earlier. I don't like Subotan's vote versus me.
The iPhone got me lynched? Yet another reason to hate apple.
I suppose i've just got to accept my fate. It doesn't seem like I'd be able to convince you not to vote for me based on a single admitedly scummy post.
Edit: I didn't see the third page, and hence Atpg's above post.
I am innocent (again; I want to be a mafia and not get banned), and the reason for my short post was that I needed something short to type, but yet wasn't just a post that contained a vote.
If you were innocent, you'd need to put up more of a fight than this.Quote:

Yikes, I didn't know that.
As I said, I am innocent. I'm posting using my dads iPhone, which I'd very uncomfortable, hence my short posts. And I don't like using IRL excuses.
Well... there's only so much I can do here. My hands are totally tied, I am not going to back down on this and get lynched because that is 100% suicide for the town. And if you're also innocent, we're pretty screwed.
The only saving throw here is No Lynch. I said it before. But I can't back down and vote No Lynch and I don't recommend Diamondeye or Secura vote No Lynch either, because again, if we don't get the votes, it's pure suicide for the town.
Your fate is in your hands. It's either lynch Subotan or No Lynch. So what's it going to be?
I wouldn't be recommending No Lynch if I were guilty.
I recommend lynch:Subotan for first-nighting me.
Your call. We'll do that.Quote:

You travel through the sewer quietly, each questioning those around you. Someone amongst your group had tossed the flash bag that had brought the city guard down upon them. The throwing dagger in the back of Beskar’s knee had also come from someone within this group of thieves. Accusations flew amongst the group, each questioning the other, unsure of who had turned against them. It wasn’t long before both ATPG and Subotan realized that everyone’s eyes were upon them. ATPG was able to turn the attention against Subotan and he quickly realized the trouble he was in. There were two problems with the current situation, one was that the heightened awareness he was in was exhausting, and the second was that thieves preyed on weakness and knew when to act upon it. For the past hour Subotan had walked with every sense alert, ready to react to anything and those around him knew it. But it finally happened, his body was beginning to tire and he briefly lost his footing. That was all the time that was needed, but unbalanced, he was unable to defend himself. Secura struck at Subotans leg, causing his lack of balance to become a full out fall. ATPG didn’t hesitate either and quickly landed upon Subotans back, using his weight to force Subotans head under the surface. Diamondeye quickly stepped in and threw a hard kick at Subotans side. The force was hard enough to force Subotan to gasp for breath, sucking in the liquid sewage into his lungs. Further struggles quickly subsided. Dragging Subotans body out of the sewage you quickly examine it, only to learn...

It is now night.
Final Tally:
3 Subotan: ATPG, Diamondeye, Secura
2 ATPG: Atheotes, Subotan
1 Secura: CCRunner
The update will be tomorrow night.
We should have done No Lynch.
:wall:
Hey, it wasn't Subotan, that is a surprise.
You come upon a ladder leading back up to the street. CCRunner was the first up the ladder. Upon reaching the top, he extended his hand to inform you all to remain silent and then silently lifted the lid. You all could hear the sounds from above flowing down from the access hole. As silent as possible, you all slowly exit the sewers out onto the street. You find yourselves in a dark alley, shaded mostly due to the close quarters and the clothes hanging above, drying in the wind. Moving towards the end of the alley, you all stop, recalling the plan.
There was a mill not more then a block away that had an abandoned passage that ran under the inner wall and out of the inner city ward. The tunnel was said to move into the merchants ward, which would be even more dangerous, since it was one of the strongholds of The Master. It would be dangerous, but it was also the best option. Many of you grabbed clothes off the lines, or some other disguise to better conceal yourself while walking out in the open. Though you didn’t trust each other, you also knew that the only way for your current loot to be worth anything, was to reach the fence located on the other side of the merchants ward.
You were walking down the street when you noticed a pair of guards approaching you. They seemed unaware of you and would have passed on, when a hand reached out and snatched the purse of one of the guards and then tossed it at atheotes shoulder. The thieves reflexes were quick and upon striking his shoulder and leaving him unharmed, atheotes reflexively caught the item as it began to fall. The city guards spun around and seeing his purse in the hands of atheotes, both guards immediately reached for their swords. Atheotes didn’t bother to look at his fellow thieves, he knew they’d continue on, leaving him to fend for himself. He quickly drew a small dagger and sliced the ties holding the purse closed and then flung it forcibly at the closest guard, causing the bag to burst, flinging coins around the street. As he turned to flee he remembered Beskar and immediately jumped high as the expected dagger barely missed the back of his knee. He was turning towards a dark alley when something struck him in the back. He ignored it, as he knew it hadn’t been a thrown blade, but what felt like some sort of bag. He had taken only a few more steps when he began to feel a strange sensation come over him. It was then he began to panic, as he knew what had struck him. He frantically tore at his clothing, trying to remove it and the magical goo that was quickly engulfing him. With all his speed, he wasn’t fast enough, and quickly fell to the ground unable to move. He slid the small blade out of its hidden wrist sheath, but even that wouldn’t work. He could do nothing but panic as the city guard walked up to him, laughing at his condition.
“Hey, doesn’t he match the description of one of those thieves we’re looking for?” asked one guard.
“It sure does. I wonder how this happened to him?” stated the other.
“Who cares, we’re the ones bringing him in, that’s all that matters. Granted, once we figure out how to get him out of the goo.”
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
It is now day. Make you’re accusations.
My apologies. As I was lying in bed it dawned on me that in my latest update I stated that atheotes was a common thief, when he was in fact the Ring Leader. The update has been modified. Also, please include this paragraph in the update:
----------------------------------------------------
Upon realizing that the Ring Leader of this job was dead, two things came to mind. He was your contact with your employer and he was the one forcing you to receive only 10% of the take. Now, with the Ring Leader dead, you had no means of contacting your employer and the loot would be divided evenly among the remaining thieves. Currently, each of you would receive 25%.
Back to bed.
Well I guess we should thank our lucky stars that the cop and head thief were on opposing sides.
I think we can reasonably guess that Diamondeye or Secura is the guilty party. I'm going to go with
vote: Diamondeye based on both Beskar's suspicions and Secura's reaction while under pressure.
Do you know something we don't, ATPG? I have not heard any mention of either of these roles and am quite frankly at a loss as to what your post indicates other than you want me lynched.Quote:
