Psycho Mafia [Concluded]

[Askthepizzaguy]

Night phase is over, I have 2 writeups to do, please be patient.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Night Three




Beefy187 was sitting in his room, thinking about lots of things. For example, all the people he had been watching recently. He himself had been watched very closely by several people. But he didn't trust any of them. They were all up to no good, as far as Beefy was concerned. He drew many little pictures of smiley faces to express what he was feeling, but few people understood. He carried around a tape recorder to record what people had said, but no one listened to his recordings. He made hand gestures, and they still failed to listen.

Listening... that was the lesson for tonight.

They all had failed to listen to Beefy... who couldn't speak his mind. And now, he couldn't say who was in his room, about to kill him. Beefy accepted the inevitable... but he didn't much care for his attacker, who purported to be some kind of Provider.


The Provider died in a massive fireball which could only have come from Heaven.... or Hell.

BOOM!!!!

There goes a detective....

Our suspicions are correct, the Provider was taka, which White_eyes sought to find. We say there are a group of masons, being taka, White_eyes and possibly shlin too, but definitely White_eyes we know he was neutral, we have seen it.

[boudica]

Omanes did you enjoy our vacation together?. (ooc: Maybe I need to re-read the thread, but I take it there was no Psycho kill last night? - Why did the Provider kill Beefy?..)

vote:omanes

vote:omanes

The Provider is neutral, not for the town.

Our actions did not work on Omanes? boudica, care to enlighten us, did you block him?

Vote: Omanes

[boudica]

Omanes wanted to come on holiday with me, I'm sure he did! He ... oh... I think I put enough air holes in the luggage....

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Ok folks, I am detective Andy.

Night one, investigated Yoyoma1910 - he was innocent and he died. I was going to investigate boudicca. Then she got lynched - ATPG did say to me, however, "good shot" after I PMed those instructions to him (early during the day phase).
Night two investigated Captain Blackadder - he was innocent and he died.
Night three investigated Beefy187. Something odd happened here. I was "hit over the head, bound and gagged", my investigation failed and he died.

Now, I believe that the phyco has his orders linked to mine. He kills whoever I investigate. This makes me a coroner more than anything really.

I didn't investigate last night (I was obviously blocked by somebody), meaning that he didn't kill. I don't understand this provider stuff, but I somehow get the feeling that his objective is to kill somebody. He has one chance, and dies if he fails. He thought it was Beefy and so attacked him.

Now, I believe that if I target the phyco, he will be forced to kill either himself or somebody else revealing himself to me.

Looking at that most recent write up BTW, Beefy187 was the other person who was watching who I was investigating. I feel he was harmless based upon what the write up said however, possibly just doing that as part of his insane role.

Anyhow, that's my summery

[boudica]

Wow. Now that's a reveal and a half. What do you other mentalists think?

[naut]

Good choice boudica.

Now is as good as any to say what we know of ourselves. Yes say it, hurry. No shush. We are speaking, slowly, not rushed. Yes, let us speak. From what we have undertaken, and what others have said; blue is good, black is unknown and brown is other:

777Ares777 - the chronically angry
Chaotix27 - ???
Gobbledygook - we are fairly sure we are a vigilante
boudica/Kralizec - the roleblocker
Lord Winter - ???
Omanes Alexandrapolites - Detective Andy, whether this voice is good or not we do not know, but we give him the benefit of the doubt for now, see here.
Psychonaut - us, ourselves, we are Psychonaut
Shlin28 - associate of taka
White_Eyes - neutral, we saw him seeking The Provider, maybe we think is a second group of nasties.
boudica - we are sad for her voice has faded
Greyblades - the bi-polar
woad&fangs - the paranoid
Yoyoma1910 - the insane painter
Captain Blackadder - the compulsive liar
Beefy187 - the detective/mute
Taka - The Provider, neutral

We think with our many voices, maybe the best plan of action is to lynch Chaotix, since his voice hides in the shadows. While Omanes investigates White_eyes or Shlin and boudica blocks other lynch targets, we shall use our actions on other unknowns. Thus the killer will be forced into killing the other nasties if we lynch the wrong person now. Yes, it is a plan! Do we agree? And if Omanes plays us the fool we lynch him tomorrow? Yes'm! What do we think?

[naut]

Unvote: Omanes

What do we say?

[boudica]

I am not sure for now. The idea that - unless Detective Andy IS the Psycho - that the kills are linked directly to his investigations rankles me. I am still inclined - or at least I WANT to think that we caught Omanes in our suitcase while he was about to kill Beefy anyway. I definitely want to hear what the other patients have to say before I take my vote off Omanes.

Maybe it would be worth someone attempting to decipher Beefys' posts :D
I don't think he was a detective - why would there be two detectives?, I read his smiley-ing as an indication that people would find him innocent if he WAS investigated. Who knows what a twist that would been if Omanes is speaking the truth?

What the Lord Pizza says makes us think the two are separate. All have claimed some insanity. And of the claims we see Omanes seems least insane, maybe WIFOM, maybe Detective Andy. We give him doubt for know.

[taka]

i was pro-town my apostles will let all know

[naut]

i was pro-town my apostles will let all know

If you speak the truth then this game is pretty winnable. We hope.

[boudica]

After consulting with ourselves, mentally in space, I shall unvote: vote: Chaotix27

[boudica]

Note: I shall be at a funeral tomorrow and have v. limited internet access. Will try to check comp in the morning before we leave (GMT)

[Chaotix]

If nobody's noticed yet, I happen to be the local cannibal. I mean, come on, in every post I've alluded to eating someone.

But listen- I don't eat the living people, only the ones who are already dead- that would be murder, and I'm not a murderer, I just prefer the taste of human flesh to other delicacies. And so far, none of our lynched friends has had a decidedly evil taste to them, either.

So I would encourage you all not to vote for me, as I'm as innocent as you can find in this insane asylum.

And here is my suggestion, we have two lynch targets:

1. Gobbledygook. He's a pyromaniac. How did Beefy and taka die? In a huge fireball. He must be a suspect until he explains himself. Also, he left me to cook woad&fangs alone after making the fire for me last night. What else could he have been doing? He could be a vigilante, though, because we also have to think about...

2. Omanes. His detective reveal, quite frankly, stinks of scum to me. Now, I don't doubt that he is Detective Andy- otherwise, someone else would've claimed it by now. But whoever he decides to investigate, mysteriously dies? That is one of the most ridiculous ways to cover up for murder I have seen yet. I believe our Detective is the Psycho. Perhaps Omanes himself doesn't even know it, and he has a split personality or something.

Remember: ATPG's games almost always have a huge twist. In Futurama mafia, for example, it was the good doctor who was supposed to be kept alive for a town victory who turned out to be the traitor. This seems like a perfect set-up for ATPG...

Vote: Omanes

I look forward to crunching on your bones.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Ah, but even I wouldn't be so predictable. Since I've done a twist like that before, I'd have to add something even more unique.

[Chaotix]

Exactly. This is why I predict that Omanes himself doesn't know that he's mafia. He has a split personality, and every time he tries to investigate someone, he winds up killing him instead. Otherwise, why would he be in a sanitarium? Wouldn't it make more sense to put a one-time murderer in jail? In the opening write-up he's portrayed as a relatively sane person, and only killed someone out of rage. He doesn't have any noticeable dementia, because in his mind he is completely sane. It's his other personality that has different ideas.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Who did he kill? I think the story you're referring to is that his wife was brutally murdered while he was out doing his job, if I recall correctly.

-Hey, Pizzaguy.... shhh.... let them play the game.

Got it, voices in my head.

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Do not think that that thought hasn't passed through my head Chaotix27. When I meaninglessly mentioned that idea in an e-mail to ATPG and suggested handing myself over to lynch, he told me to think more carefully before doing that. It's not 100% confirmation, and he could be purposefully misleading me, but I somehow don't think that I am unknowingly the murderer.

Sorry Psychonaut, BTW, I'm struggling to understand that post of yours. If you don't mind me asking, could you give a sane translation. How do you know all those roles? Why do you give Lord Winter the benefit of the doubt and are coloring him blue? Although I don't suspect you, it would be nice to know the truth.

Not all of those roles are always going to be pro-town, for example, the phyco could have multiple abilities, for example, he could role block. It seems unlikely, but shouldn't be ruled out.

Does anybody have any ideas who I should investigate/inadvertently kill tonight. There are three possibly strategies. I can "kill" random people to minimize damage, I can not investigate at all (is that possible ATPG) but stagnate finding the killer and/or I could "kill" those who you guys find most suspicious and see what happens.

Of course, the phyco's orders may not be attached to mine at all, him optionally following me so he can force me into revealing. This does seem a little far fetched though and I wouldn't expect ATPG to leave that option open to him. It could also be coincidence, but three nights in which the phyco has mimicked me suggest that its much more than that.

Any thoughts?

[shlin28]

The Provider has fallen! Oh noez! *A million paper teddy bears weep in sorrow*

*Consults ancient prophecy found in the toilet*

Hmm... the Provider will return after the Psycho is dead...hmmmmmmm

Vote: Psychonaut

Death to all Psychonauts!

PS: Some insane thoughts on Omanes - Do not investigate anyone tonight, see what happens. The Lord Pizza preaches patience, and patience we shall have

Edit: To Chaotix: Taka died in a fireball cos thats his role power :)

[White_eyes:D]

Any thoughts?

"The Provider" has died....*begins cutting wrists with the sharpened spoon again*

Semi-Sane thoughts: If you want to....I could get you to investigate me....since town still questions my Pro-towness.....

[White_eyes:D]

Vote:Psychonaut because "The Provider" didn't like it when he always said "we" rather then "worship" when speaking to him

neutral, we saw him seeking The Provider, maybe we think is a second group of nasties.

Semi-Sane thoughts: If this was true, then taka would not have killed himself in order to stop who he thought was the Psycho....it would have been a murder, not a suicide. We are Pro-town..:rolleyes
