The Revenge of Inishmore! [Concluded]

[Renata]

I found it funny too, however even I have more sense than to kill the first person who gets on my case, (call it WIFOM or whatever you will).

I'm seeing it as a setup, that failed, but I'm sure your not.

I'm seeing it as pretty much a null tell. If it were a game with no post-death activity, then you'd have had a strong motive to get rid of me and any non-you mafia a pretty decent motive to let me live, in order to pursue the case. Since there is post-death activity, the incentives shift back towards neutral. You might kill me if you saw my accusations as enough of a threat, knowing I'd have much less influence dead (not to mention the lack of vote), but the frame also becomes much more viable, since I'd still be around to whine about you.

In short: I'm ignoring it.

[Renata]

Wait what I'm dead? Noooooooooo.

[pevergreen]

pevergreen was both pleased and displeased.

"Finally, a clear choice. Thermal Mercury, you are to be escorted to prison and remain there until this crisis is over. Also, you'll have to be dressed in this lovely new prison uniform."

Thermal looked at it and sighed.

"Yellow. Why'd it have to be yellow? I hate yellow. They always make us yellow!"

With that, and a shake of his head, Thermal Mercury was sent to prison.

pevergreen was not done, however.

"slashandburn"
S&B stepped forward.
"You have not made a single vote over the last 5 days. This is unacceptable, and I'm sorry, but I must have you killed. I hope you understand."

"Before I do this, however, I have some others to warn. The following people are not participating enough. I do not require much, a single vote in three out of four days.
Centurion1
Crazed Rabbit
GeneralHankerchief
Greyblades
Joooray
Secura
Subotan
Warman
White_eyes:D
Yarapolk."

"You all have lodged only one or two votes in 4 valid phases. Please contribute more. Or you may face my displeasure."

"For slashandburn? I condemn him to a life of dusting my house. I just can't get around to it often enough, you know?"

Hey. That's not very nice pever. I was about to vote and you close the round.

Thoughts, Zack is lurking almost as hard as I am. And that my friends is some major lurkage.

[pevergreen]

Hey. That's not very nice pever. I was about to vote and you close the round.

Buddy!

The votes close at midnight our time. The phases have somehow managed to end at midnight every single time. Thats...like over a week of the phase ending at the same time. If you were going to vote at quarter past...

Pretty easy for you to remember. Midnight is an easy deadline.

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

So Thermal got lynched and Reneta is dead now? Perhaps Thermal was the killer?

[Renata]

Pever, you still have me as alive. Could you correct that, please? Thanks.

[atheotes]

So Thermal got lynched and Reneta is dead now? Perhaps Thermal was the killer?

[TinCow]

Interesting theory. Please explain more.

[Renata]

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Interesting theory. Please explain more.

Just a observation I made. Each time someone died, is it me or did it seem like Thermal tried shifting the blame to someone else or tried to say how he was set up or some poor excuse. Maybe he was the killer, maybe he wasn't. Just a thought.

Thats what I get for quoting the wrong post.


Serious-ey stuff in spoilers.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

On a more serious note, I'm getting the general feeling that the players coming in are having some trouble adapting. Some from TWC, where its just a worse off version of the org, some from mafiascum, some from CivFanatics, where its more roleplay-ey.

It brought my mind back to a very good thread we had stickied for a while. I don't think I am alone in thinking that this thread produced what are basically the guidelines of today.

It may be three years old, but the Code is still in effect in my mind.

Gameroom Mafia Player’s Code of Ethics

I will endeavor to adhere to the basic rules for good posting/participation expected of all members of the .org community.

I will not use screenshots relating to a mafia game during that mafia game. This includes my posts within the thread, my private messages, my individual e-mails or any other means of communication.

I will not use an alternate .org identity for any aspect of a mafia game and will restrict myself to the identity used in signing up for the game for all communication relating to that game. Note: multiple identities is against org policy and may draw unfavorable attention from moderators and administrators.

If I have additional abilities as a moderator or administrator on the forum, I will endeavor not to use those abilities as part of my participation in a mafia game, save where asked to do so by the game’s host in response to a valid moderator-related question or function.

I will not quote from a private message or from a chat log in the main thread of a mafia game and will not do so in private messages, e-mails, or other communications with anyone who was not originally a party to that message or chat unless permitted to do so by the game host.

I will endeavor to abide by the rules and conditions laid out by a host for her or his own game at all times.

If I believe that I have accidentally contravened this code, broken one of the rules laid out by the host, or believe myself to be on the receiving end of another who has done so, I will report my behavior to the host, attaching any relevant support information, and await the decision of that game host before continuing play.

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...-Mafia-Players

Obviously, not everything is fully up to date, and some is not in line with the rules for this game, but its a good thing.

Reading through it again, something that comes out to me is a post by Redleg, a member I respect for a few reasons.

A cut and past from the game thread it was posted in

(speaking of [behaviour] as exhibited by Sasaki in the game)

I detest that type of interference because it cheapens the effort of the players who are still alive and attempting to actually solve the puzzle. So excuse me if childish stupidity [annoys me] to the point of extreme anger, but it will every time - that is my nature to the core.

In the game if your alive - cheat, lie, steal, borrow, beg, convince, tell the truth, make up fake PM's and roles to save your rear-end.

If your dead contribute to lynching who you believe is responsible for getting you lynched or murdered. Make cryptic posts about suspects concerning little stories like the one that Major Dump posted after his death. But when you have been lynched or murdered - you should not conduct yourself in a manner to ruin the game for those still playing[]. That [] ruins the game.

It may be going on deaf ears, or the idea is already there and I'm just not seeing it, but here it is and I'll leave you guys to it and get back to hosting.

[Thermal]

Good job guys

[Zack]

Thoughts, Zack is lurking almost as hard as I am. And that my friends is some major lurkage.

Because the 10 players on WOG notice aren't lurking at all, right?

[Secura]

Because the 10 players on WOG notice aren't lurking at all, right?

It isn't necessarily lurking, at least on my part; I'm keeping up with the thread as best I can and posting... I've just not voted a fair bit because for the most part, I've thought the lynches were poor and we're not allowed No Lynch/Abstain.

[Diamondeye]

Name what I am doing wrong, and that qoute is sarcasm BTW (don't skim) and the second part is simply reading his statement wrong, as if he said "That was what happens when you mess with me". I'm sorry if I get enraged at watching the town's resurrector die.

You should stop talking down to people; I didn't skim the thread, I read it all the way through. I know the quote was sarcasm. And Thermal's post, you can think what you want but I think him innocent.

I hate people talking down to me. If you wanted to convince me not to vote for you, you should try actually appealing to me instead of acting all insulted.

My vote'll be back on you tomorrow unless your mason partners can clear you.

[Captain Blackadder]

Because the 10 players on WOG notice aren't lurking at all, right?

That is because in my mind at least true people in wog territory are not likely to be mafia as it is cutting it a bit fine at this point and any of them that suddenly come back they will be lynched. What is more supicious are the people who are staying just above that line doing enough not to be wogged but not really adding anything to the discussion.

[Myrddraal]

@Secura, someone is going to get lynched every round, so if you don't like the lynch candidates, suggest an alternative. Only the dead have the luxury of not voting.

[pevergreen]

Possibly made the biggest mistake in the last year. Good times.

Writeup starting now

[pevergreen]

It all crashed, blah blah blah as did my post here after the board came back up.

Will post wirteup when i wake up, dayphase will be a longer one.

[pevergreen]

Two things before the night writeup happens. I missed an action last night (Night 4). I am terribly sorry to all those involved, so this is taking place before the current actions.


TinCow was sitting in his favourite chair, drinking his favourite wine. After a long hard day of discussion, it was nice to relax.

He sighed contently but fell out of his chair when he heard a voice.

"And how do you feel about that?"

No...no...it couldn't be...he made sure they couldn't get in! Please, he begged, let it be anything but a shrink!

A man walked into the living room holding a notepad and looking around. "TinCow my friend, how does this all make you feel?"

TinCow couldn't take it anymore, he took out his hidden revovler and shot himself.

Alright, that concludes what I missed. Due to my mistake, I'm making this public: TinCow was targeted in a kill tonight that would have gone through, so either way TC would be dead. Due to my mistake, the submitted night action can't take place, so I am awarding a make up action to take place tomorrow night.


On to the Night 5 writeup:

A man was standing on the beach, simply looking out at the sea. He waited all night, but no one approached him, as everyone that went past avoided a lone man drinking on the beach.


YLC was restless... it was another night with no sleep. He simply gave up and decided to go do some chores. At least the house would be clean, and maybe he would get tired, he thought to himself. But after scrubbing all his walls with ammonia, he needed to step out for some fresh air. But he wasn't getting tired, he was getting hungry. So he grabbed his propane grill and decided to throw some steaks and shrimp over the clean-burning flame. Standing outside in just his boxer briefs, he was too focused on the glow of the fire to hear the footsteps of the two men in dark suits and fedoras walking up the drive behind him. Just as the steaks and the shrimp were ready, the men in suits opened fire, pumping YLC's body full of hot lead. YLC gripped the edge of the grill and with the last of his strength, he shoved one of the steaks in his mouth, and savored the sweet flavor in his final moments. One of the two men fired at the propane tank, and the explosion killed YLC instantly and burned his body to a crisp. They nodded to each other, and without saying a word, they left the scene in opposite directions.

Diamondeye was curious as a child, the two psychologists noted. He would always be climbing trees and turning over rocks, and trying new foods. He was also quite vulnerable to suggestion, to a fault it seemed. So they brought him into their office and they placed several objects in front of him, with instructions. The first was a bran muffin, with a note that said "taste me", and so Diamondeye picked it up and took a nibble. The next was a plush pokemon toy, with a note that said "squeeze me" and Diamondeye picked it up and squeezed it. The two psychologists took careful notes. The next was a slice of swiss cheese, which said "smell me" and Diamondeye picked it up and he sniffed it. The two psychologists just observed quietly. Next, there was an assortment of razorblades on the table, with a note that said "eat me". Without any hesitation, Diamondeye grabbed the razors and stuffed them down his throat. He didn't get to the next item on the table, which was a pile of jelly beans, and a note that said "shave with me". It was too late before the psychologists realized they had switched the signs by mistake.

A man was in the middle of the dance floor, talking and busting some moves. The person he was talking to became his friend over the course of the night and they left the venue with a handshake and these parting words,
"Oi, I'll see you round bru!"

Vote: Niklas

[ULC]

Dead Vote: Secura

I'd like to bring attention to the fact that, the following people have been working with me - Secura, Renata, TinCow, and Methos. We have been systematically targeted and killed, and the only living member left of us is Secura. Have fun in mafia scum , you town traitor.

And Pever, my action should have gone through, or did you just conveniently ignore my PM? Sorry, not the best of moods.

[Secura]

You're going to be eating a significant amount of humble pie when it transpires that isn't true, YLC... count on it, treacle.

[ULC]

Prove me wrong then - how is it that we are, literally, systematically killed off, one by one, on consecutive nights, and they GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO KILL US. This isn't random, someone HAD to know who we are, and you are the only one left. Unless you have a better explanation, like who actually did it, I am not calling this crusade off.

How can I prove you wrong, YLC? I can't point you even halfway in the right direction because I know **** all about the game even now.

The only way to prove my innocence is when the game concludes, whereby the mafia will be able to tell you the truth, namely that I had nothing to do with everyone's deaths. I'll gracefully accept the lynch now, and in turn you apologise when the truth comes out at the end of the game?

Does that sound fair?

vote: Secura

Can't you even give a little more info as to why you think this?

It's not fair and don't vote for yourself. None of this was fair, and I am not going to apologize - this is a game, and I am playing. Part of playing it is following my nose, and it lead me right to you. You are the only loose end Secura, and whether you acknowledge it or not, 4 pro-town power role deaths in a row does nothing to prove your innocence, nor does claiming I'm going to eat "humble pie".

[Secura]

I'll gracefully accept the lynch now, and in turn you apologise when the truth comes out at the end of the game?

Does that sound fair?

I want the apology in public, by the way, right here in-thread.

I counted you as allies, YLC, even after being turned back to vanilla and being informed by the host that I wasn't supposed to collaborate with you all if I wasn't aligned with you.

You see, I may be a great many things, but I'm not a backstabber... and if that makes me a poor mafia player, than so be it; I would rather keep my moral integrity than screw someone over to win a game.
