The Thing Mafia [Concluded]

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Notice that the other 3 guys are not voting, even though there are only 10.5 hours left in the phase. COME ON, YOU NIHILISTS

At least Luciano deigns to vote (usually). Vinny has not posted since the beginning. Convince me he isn't a liability.

Unvote, Vote: Vinny

[[MAFIA] Vito]

I'm actually speaking to khaan on Steam right now, but as per the game rules I can't mention this game to him. I think he's just forgot about it.

Unvote: Luciano
Vote: Vinny

While I still think it's Luciano (IF IT'S YOU REENK AND YOU MAKE FUN OF ME AGAIN FOR TAKING MY VOTE OFF YOU FOR FIVE MINUTES I WILL BAN YOU FROM THE GAMEROOM) I see your point. Worst-case scenario, we get to a three-man endgame with Vinny and it's up to TinCow's 50-50 resolution to decide the game.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

well, remember that technically it's a four-man endgame. But anyway, I've taken a look at Luciano's behavior, and I'll check in at the last hour to analyze anything he posts - if he posts. If it does turn out to be Luciano and I let him slip through, then we'll call it even I guess.

[[MAFIA] Vito]

Alright, sounds good. There's a slight chance I may be awake when the round ends, but probably not.

[[MAFIA] Luciano]

Dobbiamo sbarazzarci di lurkers. vote:Vinny. Perché non è il suo nome Vincenzo? Questo è un nome proprio Italiano non, Vinny.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

That's strange, Lucy, your pattern is contrarianism, except for the Emilio boondoggle, for which you csn be restrospectively confirmed innocent. I would have expected you to go for Frank or something.

[[MAFIA] Frank]

If only we managed an abstain lynch, we could have had an odd number of people, with a tiebreaker town vote.
This is going to be funny though :P

Also as long as the four of us are alive, I hope we'll see changes in behaviour, with Vinny or Sonny I wouldn't know where to turn.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Yep, I don't feel confident enough to switch. Figger that neither one is it.

[TinCow]

"So, who is the lucky winner today?" asked Kage.

Most of the remaining henchmen pointed at Vinny. Kage squinted at him, then looked back at the rest of the group. "Really? That one?" The henchmen glanced at Vinny. He was seemingly obsessed with smelling his own hand and was entirely oblivious to the entire discussion. "Doesn't look very much like some kind of incredibly devious and intelligent alien from another galaxy, but what do I know?"

CR cracked his knuckles. "Alright, you lily-liver losers. Let's see if you've got it in you to beat a man to death with your bare fists. This will be useful training for when those government agencies paradrop their elite forces into this base." He nodded towards Vinny. "Make with the nastiness."

The other five henchmen looked at one another. Four of them looked a bit unsettled, but one of them smiled broadly, stepped forward, and kicked Vinny in the nuts. The man collapsed in a heap on the ground. The other henchmen stepped forward and began pounding on him. After several minutes, Vinny had been reduced to a pile of tenderized meat.

"Well done, gentlemen!" said Kage. "Amazing how easy it is to kill transmogrifying alien. I would have expected some kind of epic battle with tentacles and spider heads and whatnot. Ah, well," he sighed, "I suppose things don't always live up to our expectations."

CR smiled at the remaining five men. "Looks like we're almost done here! Tonight should be the final phase of construction before we're ready to begin operational activities. The last thing we will need completed is the combination Snack Bar and Secret Agent Torture Room. The man who comes up with the most interesting kitchen-related torture mechanism will win a free weekend trip to Hartford, Connecticut."

Vinny: 4 (Frank, Nick, Vito, Luciano)
Not Voting: 2 (Sonny, Vinny)

[[MAFIA] Luciano]

Ho basato la mia recente strategia su come liberarsi di lurkers basato sul gioco precedente anonima, quindi non si può criticare me per fare una strategia che avrebbe dovuto essere utilizzato il gioco precedente anonima per ottenere la vittoria. Così fuori l'possters che bruciacchiato in su, come si fa a ragazzi che io sia? Fino ad oggi "La Cosa" ci ha sfuggito.

[[MAFIA] Frank]

Yeah, so far the Thing had a very easy life.
With so few people left, only thing to do is to look out for different behaviour or apathy.
Unless it kept the charade with the same body from the very beginning, I doubt this though.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Remember that on Day 4 it was Silvio. Reenk revealed this. Day 5 and 6 we don't know.

We should NOT vote for a lurker on the last day, because that is our LAST day.

Hey Tincow, howsa bout a one-time vig?

Edit: Alright, we shouldn't vote a lurker just for being a lurker.

[TinCow]

Hey Tincow, howsa bout a one-time vig?

Apologies if the vanilla roles were a little dull here, but remember that the purpose of this was mainly to test out the replacement kill mechanic. Roles will get a lot more interesting when I turn this into a Large game.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

In.

[[MAFIA] Frank]

Oh yes, this whole game concept has a lot of potential :)

[[MAFIA] Luciano]

Mi sento come una cavia.

[[MAFIA] Vito]

The one thing we all need to do next round is post as often as we can. I think we can get Reenk, but we're all going to need to invest some time and effort into doing it.

[[MAFIA] Vito]

-edit- And a happy birthday to our intrepid host!

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Hey Reenk, I really like your write-ups.

[[MAFIA] Sonny]

Didn't want to reveal today, but given that if I wanted to pursue a ruthless winning strategy at expense of all else, both Nick and Vito would be long dead, I might as well.

This is it

Vinny was the lynch I expected and hoped for, you four are the ones I wanted to remain alive at the endgame. Especially GH and Monty, my two arch nemeses this game. Luciano is only here because I haven't figured out who he is yet, I got the other three. There were other good candidates I would have liked, of course, such as Atpg and TLD, but you four are a good crew.

P.S.: Compliment TinCow for the writeups. I had nothing to do with them except for (slightly modified) The Analyst quotes. Did anyone get this by the way? GH you should have...

[[MAFIA] Frank]

So, next day we'll find Sonny's body and one of us will be "possessed"?
Omoshiroi ^^

[[MAFIA] Vito]

Heh, my plan was to point out those quotes at the start of next day phase to assure everyone that I was still GH (since, like you said, I was probably the only one that should have gotten them).

[[MAFIA] Nick]

The Analyst, eh? Assumed it was something 18th or 19th century. My carefully crafted comments were intended as a response from - a certain direction.

I was convinced that you intended to keep Vito and I alive for the endgame, but of course couldn't express this without compromising the calculation.

Your admission holds certain implications.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I have mastered the Probability Trance. I even managed to influence you into revealing yourself! I am now unstoppable. I have deduced every logical development in this game from now to the end. All other outcomes have been struck down. I have apprehended History. I have come before. I have mastered the passage of events. I have attained the Absolute - the Unconditioned Soul. I am no longer town. I am more.

[[MAFIA] Nick]

I predict that my triumphalist posturing will be my downfall.

[[MAFIA] Frank]

LOL Nick XD

[[MAFIA] Vito]

I'll swap you Reenk - Luciano's identity for Frank's.

[[MAFIA] Sonny]

Heh, my plan was to point out those quotes at the start of next day phase to assure everyone that I was still GH (since, like you said, I was probably the only one that should have gotten them).

I think that might have not worked out as you planned though, GH. Also, there are no passages left for the last round, I finished the relevant ones last kill.

My carefully crafted comments were intended as a response from - a certain direction.

See, the thing is unless you were speaking very plainly, which you did do a lot in the second half of the game, I basically just didn't try to read your posts carefully.

[[MAFIA] Frank]

I'll swap you Reenk - Luciano's identity for Frank's.

If you wanna know mine I can tell you lol
But what's all this affection? :D

[[MAFIA] Nick]

Aww, not even the one where you torture GH? I was particularly proud of that one.

[[MAFIA] Vito]

If you wanna know mine I can tell you lol
But what's all this affection? :D

Sure, if you want. That way it'll keep him from knowing Luciano.
