The Half Monty [Concluded]

[Yaropolk]

ATPG - is a vote of "no lynch" (not a tie) allowed for this round? It makes sense for us to have mafia kill off another townie - tomorrow each townie will have 50% chance of voting for scum rather than 33%.

I hear you, but I'd like to wrap up this game.

12 hours remain. Tick tock, tick tock.

[Romanic]

I think it's between Csargo and Yaropolk, hardly DE because robbie chose not to save him on Day 3, when he could have (he made a post but didn't vote, when slashandburn was on the line).

I'm going for Csargo, based on voting records. Nightbringer voted Yaropolk in the last two days. Yaropolk also has been trying to find the mafia, while Csargo has been lurking a lot.

vote: Csargo

[Yaropolk]

Thanks for the show of support... my vote is also on CSargo:

DE is making a case against me....but at least he's being active and trying to find mafia
robbie FOS'd Romanic, and he's also been pretty active
Yaro - admittedly bad call on Zack, but sometimes to get up to the plate and miss....i really did do a lot of work for that analysis, it wasn't all a grand scheme for 4 rounds by robbie to set zack up
Csargo - my only evidence on him is lurkiness and the fact that robbie voted for him R1 (could be distancing move as I said).

vote:csargo

[Diamondeye]

I'd really like to vote Yaropolk, but that would make Csargo able to tie the lynch if he wanted, so for now, I'm going with Vote:Csargo and my vote will probably stay there until the deadline.

I hope you're right, Romanic. If not...

Do you know when the last time I heard this was? It was awhile ago, but the person who said it was scum. You should know this, Romanic, because it was you.

Yes, I know.

But it's still a valid point to push for a no-lynch here, one that I've made as Scum and as Town. I'd rather go with the voting record & thread behavior for this last vote, rather than him possibly be Scum for pointing a strategy that I believe is correct.

Yaropolk also jumped on that awful CB bandwagon, if that means anything. I doubt he is mafia, because Nightbringer was pointing the finger at Yaropolk when trying to save himself.

You, however - you started that CB bandwagon, and had been trying to get it going all game. You didn't vote for Nightbringer until the very end of day, when it was clear that he was going to be lynched anyways.

Diamondeye is worse than you, though. He never voted for Nightbringer, or at least from what I saw skimming his posts, and has been insisting that Yaropolk is scum for awhile. He voted for CB and GE (I always thought the former was innocent, although the latter was admittely a terrible call on my part), both innocent. He's also been jumping on bandwagons the entire time since he replaced ACIN (was that who he replaced?).

Csargo has been lurking hard, and he hasn't voted for any mafia that my quick skim of his posts can see (and his posts have been mostly filler text), but it's hard to take away anything from that because he hasn't posted in a week, and that was just a YouTube video.

In conclusion, my rankings from least scummy to most scummy:

Yaropolk
Romanic
Diamondeye

(No idea where to put Csargo on that list).

I also strongly encourage all to post Role PMs. The mafia have all been members of the Simpson family so far, and although Bart was innocent, it couldn't hurt to post PMs anyway - it's the last day.

[Romanic]

I doubt we will have time to get everyone to claim, but here's my role PM.

Final Day



Comic Book Guy: "I call this meeting to order. Now, to discuss the very lame and very un-inspired recent deaths. I can only attribute them to a lack of enthusiasm from the game host due to lack of enthusiasm on the part of certain players. I rate them two and a half thumbs-down."

Professor Frink: "Well, unless you were born with a superfluous half-thumb or full-thumb, or had one surgically attached to you, I declare that such a thing is a scientific impossibility. Mmm-huay."

Moe the Bartender: "Hey, why ain't the Mole-man sayin' nothin'? We ain't gonna catch the scums that way. I suggest we murder him in cold blood, to catch the final murderer."

Comic Book Guy: "I am inclined to agree. Perhaps the game host also gave us a clue when he suggested that the murderer was 'silent' in the previous write-up."

Professor Frink: "Write-up? What write-up? Is there a place where we can get an omniscient-perspective narration of events? Blast! Now I have no use for my Expositron Mark IV. According to my calculations, it would have advanced this storyline with superhuman creativity. A nearly-flawless design, though it sometimes overloads and fires a WOG at inactive characters."

Moe the Bartender: "Speaking of which, the Mole-man is rather inactive. Perhaps, suspiciously so...."

Comic Book Guy: "Yes, the inactive player must go! No lurker victories! WORST.... VICTORY.... EVER!!!"

Professor Frink: "Then the democracy gods have smiled upon us, which we shall soon attempt to disprove using evidence. But for now, we must do their angry bidding. I SMITE THEE, IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE!!!"




Professor Frink fires the Expositron Mark IV at Hans Moleman, causing him to screech like a mole-man.... or a monkey-man.... or some other animal-man hybrid, just before he was VAPORIZED.



Comic Book Guy: "YES!!! Everyman saves the day. An instant classic."

Moe the Bartender: "Everyone come down to Moe's Tavern for a round of beers. Hey, I will even give you.... ten percent off."

Professor Frink: "According to my calculations, this townie win goes a long way towards restoring the balance between good and evil in the gameroom. M'hoy!"

Charles Montgomery Burns: "The Mole-Man is dead? I'm sure that's what Matt Groening would have wanted. He never thought that character should have even been in the show. Whoops, the last of the blood from that heart beat I had in 1972 has reached my brain....." *ack*

Post-game commentary will come soon. Please feel free to discuss the game until then.

[Askthepizzaguy]

Interesting note, this would have be the first Simpsons/Futurama-themed game I've hosted that was won by the town faction. In every single other game, the game has been won by mafia, actor, or serial killer.

The curse of the townies....

Epilogue

Moe's Tavern

Moe the Bartender: "I've changed my mind. In honor of our victory, drinks are on the house. Drink up, my friends...."

Comic Book Guy: "I believe I will have an ale, barkeep."

Professor Frink: "I usually abstain from alcohol, but perhaps a white wine spritzer would be just the trick to help me unwind. I'm all wound up still.... HOYVIN-GLAVIN!!!"

Moe the Bartender: "So uh, Frink. What's with the incinerator gun thing you're carrying around?"

Professor Frink: "The Expositron Mark IV? Like I told you, it's a device that allows perfect narration to take place. Just point it at the people, places, or things you wish to add exposition to, and the device fires a ray which advances the story. Since all it does is cause the target to de-molecularize, it only has evil applications. But, I'm willing to sell it to fund my next project, which is creating a device which rids the world of all the Expositron Mark IV weapons I've built and then sold to the army. I call it.... the Expositron Mark V."

Moe the Bartender: "So, you just pick it up, point it, and shoot it like a gun, and it kills someone?"

Professor Frink: "A crude but very accurate description, yes."

Moe the Bartender: "Like this?"

Professor Frink: "Preci-"





*ZAP*




Comic Book Guy: "Woah! Another plot twist. I suppose that means you were the killer all along, Moe the Bartender. Or should I say..... Mister Teeny!"

Mister Teeny the Bartender: "That's correct. As an evil monkey genius, I was able to learn how to speak and impersonate ugly humans, like Moe, who regrettably hung himself in this very bar before I could get a chance to murder him myself."

Comic Book Guy: "I guess it is up to me, Jeff Albertson, the creator of Everyman, to vanquish the villain before all hope is lost. Stand back, Teeny, or else I will use my official Xena: The Warrior Princess Chakram of Light and decapitate you without mercy."

Mister Teeny: "Silly primate. I hold in my hands the Expositron Mark IV. Do you have any last words?"

Comic Book Guy: "I have spent decades alone in my mother's house reading comic books, playing computer games, and complaining about the declining quality of The Simpsons on alt.nerd.obsessive. One time in 1996, I got very close to kissing a poster of Sarah Michelle Geller, the actress who plays Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was a life well-spent."

Mister Teeny: "And now you've been outsmarted by a chimpanzee. Good job!"

To be continued in part two.

[Nightbringer]

Muhahahahahahaha!

[Renata]

Good show, Romanic. Grr.

[Death is yonder]

Hmm, good show mafia, and thanks to ATPG for hosting

Romanic's analysis IMO were noticeably lacking somewhat (you could call it a gut sense), but I didn't want to post for fear of derailing the thread again if I was wrong.

Oh well, what matters is that I tried somewhat overall, even though it didn't work out.

[robbiecon]

After being attacked Night 1, I had to get my point across that it was pointless trying to kill me. My first claim was that I was quite simpy unkillable. Which seems as though it bought me some time at least.

Then I decided to FoS Romanic, I thought this would offer two things, perhaps I wouldn't be attacked, or if Romanic was ever lynched, I'd be trusted.

Then I decided to go all out and made this post, pointing towards both of my choices:

3rd on the bandwagon, eh, Romanic?

Unvote; Vote: Romanic

We shall see what night brings.

Which is probably what got me killed really.


When I received the PM saying I got to choose the mafia, the immediate names that sprung to my head were Romanic and Renata, both of whom I've worked alongside before. But then I reconsidered, thinking, perhaps I'd be spelling it out to those who knew me, if one of use was lynched, and decided to pick someone I'd never played alongside before, Nightbringer, who did a great job, while he lived.

My votes were pretty much all over the place. I wasn't for or against Zack, I remained neutral, not wanting to save him nor kill him. Other than self-preservative, my FoS and vote upon Romanic were intended to place some sort of gap between us, if I was the first to fall, which thankfully worked out.

I also could have just claimed as Sideshow Bob in public, which would have allowed me to kill at night, but realistically, how long would I have been let live had I done that?

[Zack]

Grrr I can't believe you guys followed Romanic on those wagons on CB and Csargo.

Although I completely missed on DE.

[Romanic]

Here's the Mafia QT.

We never knew that Robbie was our partner, although we were aware of the possibility that there was a 3rd mafia around. 2 mafia in a 17 players game was short. I've thought that Robbie could be with us after we failed killing him, but I was fooled by his vote against me (making the right call about me gave me the impression that he was looking for Scum) and also the post GE made, about assuming there's only 2 mafia in this game. We made a mistake to kill Robbie, but I don't think it was obvious. We had to worry about a "confirmed" innocent, and one who was starting to suspect me.

Congrats to my partners! Robbie, thanks for picking me (I'm honored), and your clues were good, I missed them. Nightbringer, good game. getting away from the spotlights until Day 7. Sorry that I bussed you then, it was got the greater good.

DIY - Yeah, my analysis were flawed, obviously I had to pick parts that made my case look good, but I left some. Guess that people could have realized it, but the Town was a little light on the analysis side.

Zack - sorry about your lynch.

Thanks for a great game ATPG!!

[classical_hero]

What power roles did the Town have?

[Askthepizzaguy]

What power roles did the Town have?

Renata/Quimby was a tiebreaker voter, and Johnhughthom/Ralph Wiggum was the investigator which could see through cover roles.

The thing is, the cover roles looked a lot like their real roles, so he would have had to be paying attention to see the difference. He would have been able to tell that Marge had big feet, and that Homer had hair, but not that Moe was a monkey, because Moe is butt ugly.


I'm dead serious.

[Zack]

In retrospect, I should have just allowed myself to be lynched Day 2 (or whenever that first wagon was). Living only helped the mafia.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You always come after me, and you're always wrong. Don't you learn from past mistakes? Welps

Ah, Csargo. So dangerous as scum... such an easy target as townie.

[Diamondeye]

I'd really like to have had a choice when I lodged that final vote, but I knew I wasn't going to be online before the end, and a tie means certain loss.

Ah, well played scums. I should really have turned more attention to Romanic. He's always scum
Says I

[Yaropolk]

DE - I'll make you a deal, next game if neither of us is mafia we lynch Romanic on D1!

[Diamondeye]

DE - I'll make you a deal, next game if neither of us is mafia we lynch Romanic on D1!

That means always because we're never scum, right?

[Romanic]

Not fair!

I'm not often mafia... I wouldn't have been, if Robbie didn't pick me. Blame him!

[classical_hero]

Can we have some action reports.
