Oh please great Blitzmaster, I beg forgiveness for my insolence! I don't deserve the honor of reading your posts!

He says as he sends in the order to murder me...

I learned from the best.

It's okay, Subotan simply got confused between No Lynch and Abstain; it can happen when you're a new host, I did the exact same. No Lynch would have worked otherwise, though. Don't criticise the idea of doing it in a first round; I simply wanted to stir things up a little so it wasn't seven people wasting a round, and it appears I paid the price for that. It puts the town on the backfoot slightly, yes, but the game's far from over yet.

I'd take notice of Centurion's last post, also; he just stated the exact same feeling I had when I read I was lynched. Go figure. :3

I'd like to add that the reasons I did not vote no lynch were twofold:

- I wanted to stir things up a little and see if any mafia would switch their votes to me; someone who decides to lynch in a first round is a soft target; I drew attention to myself by doing so and waited to see who would bite. Remember, if I had been mafia myself, I would not have risked things by deviating my vote.

- I was actually away from my computer all day, and I came home to see that the majority of people were either voting for no lynch or abstaining entirely. I didn't want to look suspicious by being one of the last to hop on the bandwagon, so went with the aforementioned plan.

but the difference is yaro i didnt actually want to lynch her and it was not going to make a difference if she had one vote on her. then you jumped on and it became serious.

your vote made the difference and why would you ever want an actual tie. no mafia is that stupid.

But they can be that meticulous.

I was a little confused at first, but just assumed no lynch equated to abstain in this game.

Everyone has sent in their orders, so I'll start the day phase now.

Askthepizzaguy leaned back in chair and sighed. He had just spent the day co-ordinating the efforts of the hapless butlers, and he deserved a rest. With a log fire crackling in the fireplace of his hotel suite, some Edgar Allen Poe in his lap and a glass of the finest brandy Pennsylvania has to offer in his hand, Askthepizzaguy was enjoying the good life at the Carnegie hotel, despite the ever present threat of death.

He took a long, deep sip of his brandy. And then another. He drank so many anothers in fact, that pretty soon, the his bottle, a gift, had run out. Askthepizzaguy reached to the telephone and put the ear piece to his ear and asked room service for more brandy. Staying a in a hotel full of butlers, it was hardly likely to take very long.

After a minute or so, pounding thuds could be heard at the door to his apartment. Askthepizzaguy, unsure as to why the knocks were so aggressive, hesitated. It turned out there was no need for him to get up, as the door was kicked in by a towering figure who filled the room with his presence and sent Askthepizzaguy stumbling to the floor in shock. The shadowed figure then growled in a voice filled with malice

"You rang, sir? You rang - for BRANDY?"

And with that, the hulking colossus drew a large heavy bottle, and brandishing his brandy, swung it down, very hard, and very fast onto poor Askthepizzaguy's head.

When the butlers gathered around in the morning to survey the damage, it was clear that the corpse in Hotel Room 101 used to be

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Askthepizzaguy was Inspector Collings

He was the cop!

Night will begin at 22:45 GMT tomorrow.

vote: methos

I tracked his movements tonight, he was sighted entering ATPG's room. This is no coincidence.

oh crap.

pizza who you investigate.

and i remember someone claiming they were going to kill pizza. ignore that its probably a trick or maybe pizza said hed kill someone.......

wait i think methos could be a good choice. but lets wait to see who pizza investigated before we bandwagon. because if he was roleblocked we dont want to make that mistake.

just a word of warning

I would assume that, because he has just been killed, he cannot reveal the results of his investigation.

it usually does not work that way actually which is why i said last game. if i roleblock someone even if i die we will get at least one move out of me.

dont hold it to me though.

I have the results of my investigation and I assume I cannot reveal them because I am dead.

when was that ever a rule?

ive died because of stuff like that.

Subotan, as host could you tell us if he can.

Hint: Yes would be a good answer

Oh, is that convention? I was unsure, so I gave him his results, and trusted that being the experienced player he is, he would know what to do with them, and whether it as ethical for him to reveal his results.

You know, I would have put money on the mafia killing Pizza first. A shame; the town's going to have their work cut out without his reasoning, I feel.

Excellent writeup, Subotan. :3

Thanks. I'm particularly fond of the bit where the attacker brandishes the brandy.

I am a tracker, I tracked Methos (as he has won with silent victories before now) I got lucky, it is a mini-mafia so it is a big gamble, but Methos is ATPG's killer as he entered ATPG's room last night. Secura, as Beskar's results saved town in your game, I'm hoping mine saves town in this game.

And yes, subotan nice write up, I quite like the balance of not being too long to read and not being to boring either

Yeah, Beskie was very lucky that you protected him overnight; he would have still gotten those investigation results, but would have been prohibited from revealing them as he would have been 'out of the game', as it were.

Well, you can give him his results, yes, but as far as I know, it's frowned upon to reveal those after death (how can you reveal stuff or point fingers if you're toast?); it is entirely up to you as host. Perhaps Pizza himself can clarify for you, he'd know better than I. :3

EDIT: It appears he believed the same as I, unfortunately for the town.

well how come people who died can still talk. not that im arguing i dont need to make it a point but i would like a little insurance in a game like this. i have just always wondered this.

I have decided that due both to ATPG's opinion and the nature of the write indicating that before he could reveal his investigation results, he was unfortunately bludgeoned to death, that ATPG is not allowed to reveal his investigation results.

That's spiritual guidance.

so be it.

Vote: methos

if tm lied we can still get him.

Again, the butler did it.

vote: Methos

Only one way to tell if we have a tracker or not.

Out of respect for the mafia, I shall not reveal my results. If you die you cannot reveal such information unless there's a role that specifically can talk to the dead. Otherwise death merely means no vote, and that is not usually how it is taken.
