Mini Mafia: A Mexican Standoff II [Concluded]

[FactionHeir]

Gah, I had just stepped out for shopping! I shot Andres, but dunno if it counts still.

My mate is Scholar.

[Drisos]

Elite Ferret,

Shoot Factionheir.

oki, final stuff..

drisos - unarmed,
ef - armed
shlin - sherrif
factionheir - bounty > andres
wandering scholar - bounty
andres - bandit = dead

No troubles. We've won, unless Andres was on 'invisible' and shot before factionheir, or Factionheir is lying.

EF, if you're truly the armed deputy, please shoot factionheir. There's no reason to not trust him, and it's not logical that he would be protecting WS if he was the bandit.. but you can never be sure enough. so shoot him, please.

and Wandering scholar, if you really are a bountyhunter, then please shoot EF. There's still a chance he's lying, he's not the armed deputy but then bandit. (though I think that's highly unlikely) if EF's the deputy his role doesn't care about staying alive anyway. (just like my role..)

btw, factionheir and ef, please read your pm boxes. and please forward the pm's to myrddraal so he'll know that there wasn't real info about the game in them.

and a q: can people switch who they're shooting?:S

[FactionHeir]

Erm so I help you guys and you want us dead? And why should you be the only one alive at the end?

It would probably be smarter to have more than 1 person shooting Andres. Why? Because if the first person shooting Andres is shot first, then he gets away!

[edit]
And Andres and shlin both are on invisible. When I posted at 3pm, I just shot, but the standoff was broken half an hour prior.

[Ferret]

oops I shot Andres as well, can we change it Myrddraal?

[FactionHeir]

Since we know that Andres is the bandit, there is no reason to shoot each other afterwards.

[Myrddraal]

You can't change your target for this round.

Still waiting for some players to send me their PMs.

[Myrddraal]

I'm going to establish another deadline, PMs must be in to me within 12 hours, or you won't have an action for this round.

[Drisos]

Ok, factionheir etc, you don't have to shoot each other, indeed. It's just I wasn't sure that you and ef were telling the truth. I think so though. I think it's veeeery unlikely that andres isn't the bandit but one of you.. so we'll take that chance and shoot only andres.

now, victory depens on how well andres was looking into this thread..

[Myrddraal]

The Sheriff’s head was swimming, his vision going in and out of focus. He couldn’t remember drinking that much, just a small glass or two of scotch. It must be the heat. The six men eyed each other cautiously, the hot sun beating down on the dusty street. Drisos the Sheriff took an involuntary step sideways, and steadied himself. Finally, someone, a man with a holster on each hip, and a scar on his cheek, broke the silence, and discussion began. Accusations flew. “He’s got a moustache, all Banditos have moustaches. It’s a well known fact.” “FactionHeir looks like a dirty Mexican to me”

Drisos tried to focus; sweat was running down his back. It wasn’t fear or tension, he was far too inebriated to feel fear, this time, it genuinely was the heat. He stared long and hard at Elite Ferret. You’re my deputy right? I think you’re my deputy, boy the heat sure is making the air swim. He thought.

“Who’re you calling dirty? Why I’ll scalp you like an Apache!” “Amigos! Andres is probably el Bandito, su nombre begins with una A!” “Yeah but look at Ferret’s skin, definitely Mexican.”

Something stuck Drisos about that last argument. Something… fishy. Ferret did have very dark skin…


Suddenly, Shlin cried “Look! It’s Andres” and his hand whipped to his holster.

Time slowed. To Drisos, men moved through the hot air as if through treacle. Elite Ferret and FactionHeir were hard on the heels of Shlin, Elite Ferret drawing his colt and FactionHeir raising his rifle, all three men looking at Andres with malicious intent.

In this moment of action, the alcoholic haze surrounding Drisos lifted, and everything seemed clear, almost as if his swimming vision was in perfect anti-phase with the shimmering hot air. His hand moved like lightning, and faster than any other man could move Drisos raised his trusty firearm, and fired all six canisters. The first bullet flew true, and smacked into Shlin’s shoulder, sending his weapon flying and causing his knees to give way. The next 5 shots flew high into the air, as the alcohol once more took over the Sheriff’s coordination.

All this had happened in less than half a second, and before Shlin knees hit the dust, Andres was instinctively reaching for his holster, only to find it missing!

Elite Ferret fired, closely followed by the roar of FactionHeir’s rifle. Two shots smacked into Andres’ chest, sending him flying backwards.

“D-d-d-don’t shoot!” Cried the Sheriff, waving his now empty 6-shooter threateningly! “Shlin is the Bandito, I recognise him”

Shlin’s only response was to spit in the dirt and utter some obscenity. Andres gave a small sob of pain.

At this sound, the only man who hadn’t moved stepped forward, drawing one of his revolvers as he did so, and put a bullet through the head of the crippled Andres. The scar twisted The Wandering Scholar’s face as grinned at the stunned four. “I can’t stand the sound of a dying man” he said with a sadistic chuckle.

Elite Ferret, the deputy, recovered first. “Shlin, you will travel to El Bayo to face justice”

“Now Sheriff, I think you owe us a favour” interrupted FactionHeir.
“Yeah, I’d say without us you wouldn’t have recaptured this Bandito” added The Wandering Scholar.
“Yeah, in fact I’d say we practically caught him for you”
“Perhaps we can come to some kind of… financial agreement”

The four men proceeded to the Sheriff’s office, pushing the injured Shlin ahead of them. As for Andres, nobody knew the poor young deputy from El Bayo, and nobody cared very much if the vultures stopped them burying all of him.

Congratulations town, and especially Drisos. I thought at first you'd screwed up when EF said "What so you're the Sheriff?" but I tip my cowboy hat to you, that was very well played. Was Shlin a shot in the dark? If you had followed your own advice and shot Andres, Andres would have been very dead, and we'd have had a second round of shooting (and Shlin would almost certainly have targetted you, he PMd me to ask if he could change his target).

Ironically, two of the players who were in the last game got the same roles as last time, blame random.org.

A small side note about communicating outside of the thread. I meant it when I said no out of thread communication. Even alerts with no words give those you PMd and unfair advantage. Thankfully, it didn't make a difference this time (nobody PMd me until I'd sent out my own PM to everybody) but I didn't appreciate it.

Good game, thanks guys!

[shlin28]

You tricked me Drisos

[Drisos]

First, of all, very sorry for the PM's. When I sent them I was in doubt what you had meant by PM contact. I figured this kind of wouldn't be exhibited. but it was, shouldn't have taken the chance, sorry, sorry. Well, at least I know for next time! and sorry again

Btw, brilliant write up! :D Cool story.

Congratulations town, and especially Drisos. I thought at first you'd screwed up when EF said "What so you're the Sheriff?"

Waaaaah! Me too. I believed EF to be deputy from the start. (He, said 'you have to trust me, Drisos' that was a clear indication..) yet, I thought we was screwing up for me by saying so openly in the thread that he knew me, and worse, that I'm the sherrif. There was a moment of doubt, why would my own deputy bring me in trouble.. well I figured EF hadn't been thinking about the consequences and I tried to bluff my way out. with some luck the unarmed deputy would keep his mouth shut, so there would be no reason for anyone to believe I was bandit. I kept my belief in EF, but decided suspect him openly in the thread to keep things realistic. then, factionheir claimed his m8 to be wandering scholar. then I thought, NO WAY he'd claim such thing if he's the bandit, so I figured both were innocent. I thought, waaaay to big chance for them to hit me, right now, so I started the shootout.

Was Shlin a shot in the dark? If you had followed your own advice and shot Andres, Andres would have been very dead, and we'd have had a second round of shooting (and Shlin would almost certainly have targetted you, he PMd me to ask if he could change his target)

I believed strongly that either shlin or andres was mafia. I picked shlin quite randomly, declared that he was sherrif(instead of me) and shot him meanwhile. (the sherrif claim on him was to prevent double shots, and have others shoot andres) I was pretty convinced of victory, unless shlin was online. as he appearantly was! but of course I wasn't 100% sure on EF and factionheir.. I firmly believed that if we were the first to kill andres and shlin we'd win, though.

Thankfully, it didn't make a difference this time (nobody PMd me until I'd sent out my own PM to everybody) but I didn't appreciate it.

Ah, thanks. I would feel very guilty if it had made a difference and had been against the rules. :( Glad it wasn't a big problem after all. and sorry again.

btw, Thanks a lot for the game Myrddraal! By far the most enjoyable small mafia game I ever played!! I hope to join other in the future.

[FactionHeir]

Looks like more of the town survived this time compared to the last (when only a deputy and myself were alive)
