Pirate Ship Mafia [Concluded]

[Diana Abnoba]

*Itchy Lou stumbles up behind Louis VI, and grabs a couple of bottles of rum, from the officers deck supply, puts them down his pants, and stumbles away.*

[Louis VI the Fat]

*wakes up*

'...huh...?'

*dozes off again*


*suddenly wakes up with a fright from his own massive burp*

'Oi! Was I dreaming or did one of the crew crawl around my quarters?'

'Nah...probably not'

*downs a bottle o' rum, wipes off his face with Itchy Lou's parrot, rips out a leg to use as a toothpick and falls asleep to the comforting cries of an ailing parrot*

Night 1 has ended, processing orders now.

Let's see how this goes.

[pevergreen]

One time limited offer!

Pay me (pever the green) the sum of 25 gold and have my vote for the rest of the game!

Shamelessly stolen off YLC.

[GeneralHankerchief]

I will be making an announcement about transferring gold for services rendered shortly.

Night 1

Down in the cabins of the Presence, all eyes drew shut two by two. As dozens of sets of ears waited for there to be silence, the crew one by one arose from their bunks and went out on deck to perform their nights' business. For some of them, it was noble. For others, it was nefarious. But even in the wee hours of the morning, the ship bustled with activity.

Centurion1 was staring out at the sea, watching silently as the moon's reflection glistened. All was quiet aboard, at least for now. These were times for reflection, after all, and the mind worked best in solitude. Unfortunately for him, the solitude was broken by the sound of a single sword being unsheathed. Centurion jumped up in shock, nearly falling off the ship. Completely unprepared, he started running away from his attacker, making as much noise as he possibly could in order to raise alarm.

He was confident that he was making enough noise to be noticed, but was unsure if aid would come in time, for his attacker was catching up and waving his sword menacingly. Finally, almost out of breath, he scrambled up the mast, climbing as fast as he could. In the time it took for his attacker to put away his sword, three men sprinted to their location. Upon seeing this, the assailant took one final look at Centurion, and then disappeared below deck.

A similar attack was taking place on the other side of the ship, where LittleGrizzly was fending off a single man with a cutlass. After the initial reaction, it appeared that Grizzly had righted himself and was almost enjoying the bit of swordplay. Then, he heard the sound of multiple footsteps coming his way. Stealing a glance in the direction of the noise, his eyes widened.

"Oh... *#%!"

Disarming his solo attacker and sending him scampering back below deck, Grizz turned to face the five men advancing his way. Scrambling backwards, trying to buy himself some room, he tripped over yet another man with a cutlass, rushing forward in his defense. A frenetic duel quickly took place, with Grizz joining the action once he saw his savior was skilled with a blade and holding his own. The sound of steel on steel surely aroused most of the ship, but there were no more reinforcements to come for either side.

It was a duel to the end, but eventually numbers in the attackers' favor took their toll, and after several minutes Grizzly gasped in shock. He looked down and saw a cutlass poking through his chest, his heart region to be more specific. In another second, he was on the ground, the life already exiting his body. By the time the fight dispersed, LittleGrizzly was no more.

As the sun rose and the dawn bell tolled, the Captain's officers took a count and found they were one short. Once it was determined to be LittleGrizzly, Captain Crazed Rabbit sighed, and gravely looked out across the gathered sailors.

"All right, lads," he said, "it be clear that there still be scum on this ship. Courageous scum nonetheless, for they dare t'be doin' their dirty work in such an enclosed environment, but scum nonetheless. And it be in all of our best interests t'be gettin' rid of this scum. Therefore, we be doin' this democratically, mates."

He took a breath as Louis and Sigurd looked on. A quick nod to Louis sent him back inside the cabin's quarters, emerging a second later with a pot.

"Ye be votin' fer the lad who you think murdered poor LittleGrizzly," he continued. "And at the end of the votin', whoever be havin' the most will face my wrath. And that be the plank!"

There was a very loud cheer at this. The plank was always good for morale.

"Okay lads," Rabbit finished. "Be we ready? Good. GET VOTIN', YE BLOOMIN' COCKROACHES!"

OOC: Day 2 has begun. It will last until 00:01 US Eastern time on Saturday, October 3rd.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Apologies for the triple post, but I made a slight change to the N1 writeup.

Feedback PMs will be coming out in a bit.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Looks like the mafia aren't submitting kill orders...

Vote:woad&fangs

[Crazed Rabbit]

So far we have;
Mafia Kills: 0
Vigilante Kills: 1

Ye heard me - be votin' for the man ye think killed LittleGrizzly. I be not votin' as the captain, but I think ye all know who killed him.

CR

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Yeah, I killed him. Don't tell me your turning soft captain rabbit.

[pevergreen]

Well then.

I'll wait for a few more replies before I post me vote.

[DisgruntledGoat]

Looks like the mafia aren't submitting kill orders...

Vote:woad&fangs

Or the mafia covered up their kill orders with a vig group...

[scottishranger]

In which case... well we be doomed (I dont think so)

[Tratorix]

Well, well, those who looked down on LG for trying to start somethin' take to violence to prevent it. Poor form, boys, poor form.

[Lord Winter]

Vote: A1 Unit


Welcome to mafia

[pevergreen]

Vote: Jolt

[Louis VI the Fat]

Why do you vote Woad and Fangs, Sasaki?


Centurion: 1 attacker. Failed owing to 3 defenders.

Grizzly: 1 solo attacker. Failed? - Grizz could fend him off. Then five attackers. One defender.

[A Very Super Market]

I did it. Well, if I did it.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Or the mafia covered up their kill orders with a vig group...

If they didn't do a mafia kill, then they either did nothing, investigated, or were in a townie group (which presumably they can do), either vig or protect. It looks like just one person showed up to attack cent.

Well, well, those who looked down on LG for trying to start somethin' take to violence to prevent it. Poor form, boys, poor form.

What?

[Tratorix]

Why do you vote Woad and Fangs, Sasaki?


Centurion: 1 attacker. Failed owing to 3 defenders.

Grizzly: 1 solo attacker. Failed? - Grizz could fend him off. Then five attackers. One defender.

Seems to me like Grizz was attacked by the Brits or the Maven crew as well as a vig group. The solo protector could block one, but not both, so Grizz was killed. Doesn't seem to me that Grizz had any ability to protect himself.

[Centurion1]

Aye me lads it appears i am being targeted. I assure you i am pro-endeavor. Thank you to my saviors

FOS: Sasaki Kojiro

Man is acting unbelievably scummy and went ahead and killed lg. He ain't even denying it me lads. Unless i be hearing a most robust defense, i think i know whom i be wanting sent to the locker.

[Chaotix]

Looks like the mafia aren't submitting kill orders...

Vote:woad&fangs

I wouldn't bother with woads just yet. I can account for his actions last night, so I know he hasn't targeted anyone yet, at least.

Vote: Tratorix for being a traitor.

[GeneralHankerchief]

All feedback PMs have been sent. I don't think there were any errors but please let me know. Hopefully in the future, this will go quicker as I will be more familiar with everything.

I'll also be making my announcement shortly regarding transactions for services rendered, but right now I need to rest.

[Louis VI the Fat]

I wouldn't bother with woads just yet. I can account for his actions last night, so I know he hasn't targeted anyone yet, at least.

Pray tell, what was woad up to last night?

[Centurion1]

aye what were you and woad doing together then?

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Why do you vote Woad and Fangs, Sasaki?

My gut says LG was guilty (and w&f's as well). Literally everything about it is suspicious.

I'd pm'd w&f and he replied:

I'm willing to, as long as I get to do my kills as a parrot.
...
...
...
Squawk!

Then I had the pm exchange with LG, and accused him of hiding something. Shortly after I got this pm from woad, titled "LG":

Don't worry about him. I know what he is doing tonight and I know who he is doing it with. He doesn't want you to join because that would mean that any gold from a succesfull protection would have to be split up among 4 people instead of 3.

So woad never mentioned that he was working with LG, and made it seem like he was available. The reason he gives for how LG reacted doesn't match with what LG said:

Im not revealing thier names... over time if i start to trust you i will...

When I pm'd woad saying the story didn't match up a day or so ago he read but didn't reply...then he never posted in the thread claiming to be part of LG's group, no one else, LG claimed the pm's were fake when I posted them but later said they were real...



Now, maybe LG's other partners will step forward now, after being silent for some mysterious reason yesterday. In which case the death of one townie is a great shame of course. It probably would have been nice and civilized to sit and wait for them to show up. But the chance to cripple the mafia early is too good. If we knock out the british special officer, they'll have a real hard time recruiting. If we knock out two of either camp, they have to choose between killing and investigating--aka killing and recruiting. And I see vigging LG and lynching woad as a chance at offing two mafia and getting off to a strong start.

[Chaotix]

Pray tell, what was woad up to last night?

Him and I were protecting Captain Blackadder. I have a CC'ed PM from him, which is the best proof possible at this stage in the game.

I haven't heard anything from woad about what Sasaki claims- although I am not doubting him.

Obviously, he was probably distrustful of Sasaki because of Rule #1.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I wouldn't bother with woads just yet. I can account for his actions last night, so I know he hasn't targeted anyone yet, at least.

Vote: Tratorix for being a traitor.

That's interesting...I'll be very interested what woad has to say for himself. The mafia didn't kill last night so I'm not sure what use your vouching for him is...not sure how you know he didn't do anything either. If you're in a prot group does GH confirm that you all showed up?

If you start (as I do) from the hypothesis that LG was mafia, then you have to ask yourself why LG shared my suspicions of him with woad and why woad went out of his way to defend him. And why he didn't do so in the thread, and why he didn't reply to the pm etc...

[CountArach]

I guess that some orders weren't submitted, so I FoS: All Lurkers...

Vote: Psychonaut

The night phase ended at 9am in Sydney so it seems plausible that someone inactive would miss out night orders if the phase ended at an awkward time... I think that made sense - I know what I mean.

[Chaotix]

The mafia didn't kill, true, but there were 2 of what seem to be mafia attempts: solo attacks. Doubtless there are more than 2 mafia in this game, but I'm fairly certain woad wasn't attacking anyone.

To be fair, my result PM doesn't mention anything about the members of the protection group, only that CB survived and I got 100 gold.

Whether or not he is guilty is a different story... and your PMs certainly throw suspicion onto him.

I do think we need more evidence or for him to show up personally and defend himself, before I decide to lynch my protection partner off the bat.
